I'm glad you raise this point because I stopped asking sometime ago since no one wants to give it a go. We keep sending the same nincompoops in who created the problems, to straighten them out.

- There are few aspects of our lives that I know of where we would continue to do this. Over and over again.....

"Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control. The real truth that dare not speak itself is that no one is in control, absolutely no one. This stuff is ruled by the equations of dynamics and chaos. There may be entities seeking control, but to seek control is to take enormous aggravation upon yourself. It's like trying to control a dream."

~Terence McKenna, "Dreaming Awake at the End of Time"
