A WHOOPER SWAN'S DIARY: 04/01/21

THE STORY OF JOHNNY WHOOPER SWAN We go to school trusting our parents. We meet a teacher there who stands up front with a big desk, and a pointer. She or he trains us in an authoritative manner. We attach mentally to a life long need for authority in order to live lives successfully. Right so far? In my case, at the age of 25 I was ready to enter the practice of law where I hoped for success and a happy life finally. Very shortly, very shortly, I became anxious. There was a foreboding. I was made more uncomfortable with each experience. Law work is nothing like what I was told it would be. The system is corrupt. But I still cling to my expectation that career success is necessary to my happiness as a man. Each day my grasp of what the fuck success amounts to after all becomes more clouded, murkier. I hear songs on the airwaves and at concerts which describe my life as the life of a fool. What am I becoming? I want to rip off my business suit to run naked in the street with my hair on fire! But I am too afraid. In strange, weird (weird comes from a word meaning wise), fragmented steps I go about a journey of my own believing myself to be the first man to have failed in such a total way which journey works so as to break up my career, end a marriage, and start an entirely new way of relating with my two children whom I love deeply. Almost magically I meet a woman who is a career counselor who asserts a beautiful message that I am made to be joyful in my work everyday and at all levels. This understanding sets me on a completely new course. It is no longer a world of systems to me but an undivided one of unlimited beauty. It reminds me of a painting. A true masterpiece. I am drawn from within to learn the truth about my identity and nobody else can teach me that. From this point onward I will use thinking capacity for mastering mechanical processes and follow my heart, which includes my whole nature, which includes your whole nature and that of every human being for all the rest. I’ll go by the name Johnny Whooper Swan who does not explain itself to anyone. By my fruits shall I be known. Watch me soar!

What Is Electricity?

Nobody knows what electricity is. Nikola Tesla

Every human being is an engine geared to the wheel work of the Universe. Also Nikola Tesla

Tesla is responsible for alternating current development and transmission technology upon which all modern technology depends.

What is certain by now is that in exploiting the Universe's wheel work in ignorance of the consequences we have produced many gadgets to be sold for profit and to addict people to crave more and more and more of them regardless of and with no study of its cost to all humanity that may come with the loss of respect for the sacred.

What Is Sacred?

Nobody knows. Every human being is an engine geared to the wheel work of the Universe. Religions once exercised authority concerning a question of what is sacred. They were gradually and uniformly absorbed into a worldwide team of crafty dudes with trickery enough to exploit the gullible and superstitious. None of them even remember anymore how the whole religious thing got started before there were electric light and power companies to save us. By the later part of the 20th Century, there arose a popular product to feed the once religious gullible and superstitious who had become disillusioned with religion, a line of crap that amounts to “How to Be Rich and Successful Billionaires” or “How to Be a Winner in the Race to Exploit the Sacred”.

Are we ready to begin a serious dialog along lines which transcend the gullible and superstitious?

Is life sacred? If so, how does one approach the sacred?

Surely not with the words of man. One comes from another place entirely.
