Left unchecked and unchanged, our modern systems of consciousness are growing more and more lopsided. They are turning in on themselves and will soon devour themselves. Just like Beth Harmon, the star in the Netflix Original story about a young orphan girl who is a chess prodigy, we ( the humans of Earth ) are inflicting the consequences weighted stuffed animal of our individual and collective unconsciousness on ourselves and on each other through thoughtless, careless, cruel actions.
Bebe , in her E-Mail to me, expressly decried the absence of an empathic human response. That created a dilemma for me, because P was unable to provide the original context, reborn dolls so I had no useful information on what happened to cause Bebe to feel betrayed and wounded. P could similarly see no reason for Bebe to be angry at him. But after I shared with him a bit more information, P did see why her anger was directed at him. In other words, the failure to share relevant information blocks the possibility of empathy. If having and expressing empathy is the ultimate goal, then concealing information is anathema to that goal.
Barry is absolutely correct, this is a case for the all the Columbo(s), the Poirot(s), and lego super mario the Marple(s) of the underworld of man's psyche. I've been writing about this ( and by the way sharing it in EoST to the sound of silence ) for quite some time. I dubbed this work the work of Consciousness Warriors.

Barry is shining a brilliant light into a dark place. I have lost faith in the culture of Systems Thinking . The darkness of the human mind is indeed the source from which all corruption infiltrating the systems man has made creeps in. It takes conscious work to keep the darkness at bay. Most people don't want to do this work because it is icky , painful at times , and humiliating at other times. So, we hide it in the dark places inside ourselves. But it does not go away. It remains quite actively there and very capable of acting autonomously and antithetically to our own self-interests. This is how the corruption works .
If you're not into reading blogs ( even super short ones lego delorean ), I turned this story into a video series. But, there are only 3 because during this time of my inner journey, I needed encouragement and attention. This first video got a lot of likes and comments when I shared it, but the next two seemed to reach no one. So, I stopped making them. I didn't have any more energy inside to do it even though they made me happy. I was relying on the time and attention others were giving me then. It is not a good wa
