Yes, as said over at the other blog, the Lets Talk blog:
"Watching the Inside Job just now, in prep for next Saturday, the surrealness of 'having no money' for basic community services is ever more stark.The problem is not, never was, and never will be, 'lack of money', but as always the lack of imagination and courage as a community to come together and reset the laws that do not serve our well being."
The blog post over there is concerned with the lack of bunting to brighten up the town centre for this historical festival; similar like this town is infamous for its lack lustre lack of Christmas lights, the lack of readiness of council to dig deep for bunting for 'Penicuik's Coming Together' is only reflecting the symptoms of our time:
holding on to the dominant story.
In this case the core crux of dominant stories and yes, belief systems, clanging its fetters round fresh thinking, affectionate feeling and ready-to-act will.
Watching the Inside Job film, it is quite an eye opener and it does help to balance frustration with empowering insight:
The CEOs of the too-big-to-fail banks are living in a bubble of unregulated phantom wealth at the cost of the earth and our all health. These people are not healthy themselves, as they like overgrown children demand more food or toys so not to have to grow up and feel the pain of response-ability to the ills their unregulated dealings have caused.
It is - like the banker says in Linda Scotson's play - up to us to do nothing in terms of teaming up for a better system of economy.
But what can one do?
I did feel admiration for the judge in the tribunal for the banker in the USA (what was his name?), when he said in a dignified challenging way to the 'banker-in-a-bubble' man in the dock:
'And you have 5 jets, 3 yachts, 5 houses, 2 penthouses, and you don;t feel that is a bit much?'
Because of the directness of the judges questions, the bubble round the banker boss slightly shook..
Not sure though whether it was enough to burst...
after all, these people have a heavy addiction problem.....
Interesting that the part of the brain stimulated by cocain is same as the one stimulated by the mere word 'money'.
Es ist ein Rausch... (it is a stupor) that rules....
The illusion of 'freedom to be found through money'.
But where and when is freedom really found?
