It's all connected

We need to humbly work together

There is a Wiradjuri word Ngumbaadyil, which means “all are one”. It’s about the essential connectedness and unity of all Life.

That also, in my opinion, applies to many of the ways that people are using to try to improve the world - political activists (such as myself), human rights activists (such as myself), experiencers (such as myself), investigative journalists, emergency service and health care workers, and so on: their work in those various areas are actually all interconnected.

But in doing that work, it is human to focus on what is important to us, but that doesn’t mean what we are doing is the most urgent / most important / of greatest benefit … and what is the most urgent / most important / of greatest benefit in each of the job categories in the preceding paragraph, and in the three criteria listed in this paragraph, will change depending on location, time, and circumstances.

However, if, in doing what we can, we compete against other categories and criteria, it is almost certain that our competition will use up resources that could be better used to address other needs that may genuinely be greater.

As examples, consider:

• the adult child who is so loud and effective as an advocate for their ill parent that resources/scheduling are changed to address that person, rather than more seriously ill patients;

• organisations that view the importance of their work so arrogantly (often confusing profit and community benefit) that they introduce non-compete and other clauses that mean skilled people cannot contribute their skills for the benefit of the community - even if that does not detract from the original company’s profit; and

• a court case a few years ago when a mechanic cut the brake cables of someone he didn’t like - a staggeringly dangerous, amathiac, and unprofessional act that I am surprised didn’t result in a jail sentence, but showed the utter blindness of some people when they are worked up (“emotional”) - for, in this case, no valid reason whatsoever.

In my opinion, we need to humbly acknowledge the Ngumbaadyil of it all - the connectedness of it all:

• the angry (and possibly performative, acting out of fear they will be judged as not being loving enough) child needs to acknowledge the equal importance of other people’s parents to their children, and that creating a world which has a social soup of competing for resources is FAR more harmful than cooperating - which, apart from anything else, frees up the time of staff for healing rather than dealing with resourcing fights and metaphorical fires, and thus also contributes to experienced staff staying (as their world is less exhausting/overwhelming/draining) and giving everyone better treatment;

• the ultra arrogant company needs to acknowledge that they are restricting the overall health of the economy, and thus the ability of potential clients to purchase their products (which was one of the reasons a car manufacturer moved to a five day working week in the first half of the 20th century: so workers would have leisure time and thus - the manufacturer predicted [correctly] - a desire to buy and use cars);

• we all need to maintain a balanced perspective, and consider that our acts of anger could harm us and, if we are, for instance, jailed for criminal acts of harm or creating danger, then our acts could harm others - including those who are financially dependent on us, and similar harm ensues from acts of hate that create a suspicious or even paranoid and hateful, exclusionary, judgmental & controlling society that denies people the opportunity to be all they can be and live lives that those harmed people consider rich (which may not involve money or wealth) and fulfilling.

Now, the inspiration for this article goes back a few years, with a number of people in the UFO/UAP field thinking the current president of the USA is somehow “good” for making promises to release information about UFOs/UAPs.

However, in my opinion, the current president of the USA is a terrible person - convicted of rape, facing credible accusations of CSA, convicted of business fraud, wildly and blatantly dishonest, and widely considered to have done massive damage to the international order (particularly humanitarian areas), and has made the USA into an internationally unreliable state - verging on a pariah state, and now also widely viewed as a fascist state,

In a word, a tyrant.

To ignore all that and view that person as good because of vague “promises” when many such promises by that person (especially in other areas of life) have been broken, the value of current releases has been questioned (the third set of releases is a bit … less bad - although they ALL miss the vital aspect of consciousness), and the whole situation has been perverted by that person into his violent xenophobic, white supremacist anti-everyone-who-isn’t-white campaign-of-hate, raises questions about the decency as human beings of those UFO/UAP people.

Are they blind - or morally inept?

Or lacking in perspective, as the releases, even if they delivered what was hoped for by some, would be meaningless and unusable in a world of abject terror and fascistic control over thought and action would enable re-institution of coverups anywhere and anytime (including in the UFO/UAP field), as opposed to a genuine democracy which reins in out-of-control actors.

Political/human rights activists / many journalists can see that current US leader is harming millions and belongs in the category that Stalin is in, and may yet become worse.

Now, tyrants sometimes can do some good - Stalin, after all, led the USSR against the invading evil power that was Germany in the 1940s, and Napoleon in the early 1800s looked after his troops better than anyone else till then even as those troops did massive harm.

But Stalin and Napoleon were still tyrants, and overall they needed to be removed from power and their harm stopped.

We need to take a moment to consider whether there is a greater need for the current leader of the USA to be voted out than there is for release of UFO/UAP information ...

I consider that there is, as we are all connected, and what is being done harms all of us and will, setting aside the vital issue of consciousness which is being missed by this evidentiary focus of people who are possibly seeking validation, make using any genuinely valuable releases more difficult.

Ngumbaadyil.
