Independence in a sick, failing world

Q: How can I become autonomous and completely independent of my sick, failing and dysfunctional family?  And what can I learn from all I have imbibed, witnessed, experienced, and grown out of, in regard to them? M.B.

A: Autonomy from the sick and failing dynamics of a care-worn world -- not a planet but a net full of conditioned ideas -- comes with escaping the net, the web full of skittering baby spiders, poisonous in their ignorance of their poison.  We escape it through immunity to the poison.  We do this by slipping out of its realm and sway, into a realm, not adjacent but superimposed and interlaced, of a higher, purer dynamic, a dynamo that generates its own mold and sway, to which we adhere most faithfully, most fervently and judiciously.  Thus we set our own net and create the babies who will inhabit it.  We become and nurture them -- the well and thriving dynamics of a carefree creation.  This is how we become, and remain, autonomous, and completely independent of the sick and failing dynamics of a care-worn world.

What can we learn as we grow beyond?  The learning occurs after the growing beyond.  While in the sick and failing net, the gathering occurs -- gathering the material for the learning.  Now, a text on the history of wars can teach many things.  It can teach the waging of war, or the dangers of war and how to avoid it.  A history of war can incite war-mongering or it can bring insights about peace-making.  Likewise, a Scripture can prompt hubris and hatred, or it can instill oneness, love, and wholeness.  Imbibing and experiencing life in a sick and failing world fills the sponge with sickness and failure.  It gives opportunity to the candle to fulfill its purpose -- bringing light, heat, and transformation, thus healing, health, and abundant success.

There comes now into our discussion the age-old and time-worn factor of free will, humanity's gift and way out of the net, and humanity's curse and way to stay in the net.  What can you learn?  Whatever you wish, and whatever your heart desires.
