There is, in legends too old to find provenance for, a story of the hoop-snake, who grabs his tail with his mouth and then having made a circle of himself, creates his own forward progress (movement) by rolling over and over in a wheel-like manner.
This hoop-snake supposedly has magical powers and if about to be captured by humans, will swallow its tail and magically eat itself whole thereby disappearing into that strange place from whence the Mobius Strip came. This magical snake cannot be caught by humans and those humans who try would end up with a handful of air. The only way to catch the snake is to not try to catch it. Instead, the aware human is supposed to sing to the snake with songs of love so that it will roll in circles around said aware human until it comes to rest at his feet. Then he can reach down and pick it up. I've always felt there was something important in this legend and now I believe I know.
I've seen in one of my half-waking visions that the hoop-snake is a symbol for inevitable occurrence and that man is not supposed to have control. Instead, man is but to witness the unfolding of events and reflect upon them as they roll by. If he tries to hold onto this bit of reality, he finds himself with a handful of air. We humans are not meant to grasp upon the wheels of this living world. We are to merely observe and appreciate. If we try more... we get much less.
And now I bring myself to talk about Libya.
Here is a country torn by the forces of anger and fear. It has a leader who is part mystic, part crazy-man (crazy like a fox), and part despotic dictator. Following the upheavals in many of the other Arab countries of Northern Africa, we see a civil war occurring. It was almost inevitable, wasn't it? This tide of revolution and despair rolled out from Cairo and Tunisia and couldn't avoid investing itself in Libya, could it? But under the surface what is happening? These waves of revolution and change have a deeper current flowing under them and we should see that these changes probably won't create happy little democracies as we would hope but instead will make chunks of territory ripe for the picking by the NWO (or whatever we are currently calling the machinations of the banksters this week).
Gaddafi (another false prophet in Bedouin clothes) is resisting. He has marshaled his forces and attempted to gain control of his country by force. This has lead The Powers That Be (TPTB) to instigate a "no fly zone" in an attempt to control the outcome of the popular rising against Gaddafi.
This heroic (yeah, right) effort by the NATO forces (With the USA leading the way as usual) to cement the re-alignment of Northern Africa with their "New World Order" has been portrayed, in the media, as a great undertaking of freedom and a blessing to the poor, downtrodden citizens of Libya and we are told to watch the great popular uprising of the people, whom we are "protecting" from Qaddafi's forces of evil, as they free their country and make it a wonderful place where freedom will reign.
Hogwash.
Watch the snake eat its tail again.
Consider these things...
One) Qaddafi, though a truly destructive leader, has been tolerated by TPTB for close to forty years because he has done the one thing a leader sitting on oil is supposed to do: make the oil continue to flow into the maws of the industrial countries who need it to keep their fantasy freedoms from crashing down around their ears. These leaders and "free countries" have ignored the crap to which he's subjected his people for far too long and it's only when the time is convenient for these "leaders of the free" that anyone lifted a finger for these poor downtrodden Arabs in Libya.
Two) Though Libya's control of the Earth's oil reserves is rather small in respect to the whole of the Earth's total found deposits of rock oil, the cost of oil has "magically" gone up by 100% in the world markets and the oil producers are now making huge profits from the toxic sludge they are pumping from the ground. Do you think that maybe the King of Saudi Arabia can afford to give his citizens a small percentage of the money they are making from oil sales in an attempt to bribe them into not revolting? At over a Billion (yes phokes, that's Billion with a "B"!) dollars a day in oil sales, I think they can afford a 500 million dollar give-away to their citizens. This increase in oil prices is so convenient for the "NWO" as to be laughable. Our money is being poured down the rat-hole which is the pockets of the international banksters.
Three) Nobody is talking about the 40 TONS of depleted uranium which has been rained down on Libya by the Nato forces in an effort to "free" them from Qaddafi! Depleted uranium is one of the most toxic substances known to the world. Depleted doesn't mean it's not radioactive. I just means it isn't so radioactive that we can use it to make bombs or power our destructively dangerous nuclear power plants. It is still very toxic. It is a heavy metal, heavier than lead, and much more poisonous. Now the people of Libya have tons of the stuff leaking radiation into their air and tons of particles of the toxic metal floating in the air for their children to inhale so that the radiation can sit in their lungs and give them cancer a few years down the road.
So, we watch this horrendous series of events unfold in front of us. We observe, but if we reach out to try to stop it, then the snake will eat its own tail and we will be left holding air. These events are so huge in their scope and so very wrong that it is only by meditating and breathing deeply and regularly and chanting "Om" as I chew on these mushrooms (joke) that I can keep myself from trying to reach out and hold the snake. I know it cannot be done, but I have the urge to grab and try to stop this. But I know, from hard-earned experience, that it is wiser to love than to hate and it is better to envision a better world than to try to force the world to change to my desires and acknowledge with my futile denials the truth that all this has a purpose.
It is easy to become very jaded and cynical if one is not careful (BIG WINK).
And still I want to reach out and grab the snake and make it stop rolling away with my world.
I want to try to stop TPTB from stealing this world out from under the rest of us humans. I want to "make it stop" and control this "circle of life" from occurring, but I can't. The hoop-snake is on a roll and nothing I do will allow me to make it stop. If I try to grab the snake, the whole process disappears... only to appear in a different form elsewhere. Maybe it will appear in Georgia (the country, not the state of the USA) where it appears that Russia will soon be allowed to force the people there to re-join the corrupt Russian Federation. Maybe in China. Maybe in Indonesia. And the hoop-snake keeps rolling.
There is one thing we can do... We can love. Love the banksters and their sad machinations. Love Qaddafi and his insane attempt to hold onto power. Love the hypocritical leaders of our countries who try to steal freedom from us while pretending to protect us. Love the snake as it rolls by and by doing so, we negate its power to get anywhere.
