Corporate culture has brought our civilisation to the edge of the abyss.
As we stand on this edge and peer over, what do we see?
Do we gaze upon a future filled with hope?
Do we see the blossoming of love and compassion?
Or, do we gaze with horror, on the face of evil…endless war for resources and a value system that diminishes and declares foolish and obsolete, the essence of our humanity…kindness.
Corporate culture has been spread by economic forces, institutions and governments of the west.
Globalism has searched out, found and uses as its foundation building block, the lowest common denominator found amongst us.
Culture has been commercialised and sold back to us in the form of plastic rubbish.
Food has been industrialised, chemicalised and globalised…look at where food has been grown and shipped from!
Governments and corporations have colluded, on a criminal scale, to claim ownership on the seeds of life itself.
As we stare into the abyss of what lies ahead, we are afforded a brief moment in time to take stock, evaluate and decide…
Looking back into history, has taught us, that every civilisation was afforded this small window of opportunity.

Totally agree! The ironic thing I see here in my suburban area (and across the US) is that the commercialists have caught on to this desire to get back to the earth. They have twisted it into a new economic market for expensive organic workout clothing and “natural” jewelry and home goods. I know people who honestly believe they are doing a better thing by switching to “earth friendly” purchases but they don’t see that it’s all still just junk they don’t need!
I wish wish wish I would come to your place this Saturday. If I ever make it over the Atlantic I’ll be sure to look you up.
You’ll be made very welcome too!
Yes, people are traded upon in the commercial sense and always will be, but that is how it will always be in a sense and there is little one can do to change this…but the change is happening in terms of a new value system and that is most welcome!
My heaven may be in a city and it is just the space of what was a lawn yet I am every adding eatables to it. Choke cherries, black rasberries and red, tomatoes and vegtables that reseed. My true friends who are companions in this walking with mother earth. This blog that brings me hope and joy. Thank you to you all.
I truly feel for you Martin. It is a hard road and it is all too easy to think you are walking it alone. The face of corporate greed is all around us and they rely on the fact that we won’t see through them. As Colette says, their power diminishes when we see what their game is. You can do much in your everyday life wherever you live, but you have to make sure that you don’t take on more responsibility than you can cope with. I think it’s then that you get despondent. There is certainly a growing awareness of just what these governments and corporates are about, which is encouraging.
Well said…
I am so lucky to live in a area of like mined people. not to say that there aren’t any non believers but we do prevail. I have lived in another area where commercialism, corporate greed and non believers who don’t recycle, don’t care about the food they eat or the land upon which it is grown are living and I found it toxic.. There is still time for change thanks for sharing that with us.
This is true…we are standing on the edge and need to wake up fast!
Wow – you took the words from my mouth. Trouble for me is that I feel trapped by the said system – need help with the courage to set myself free!
You have more courage in your heart than all the corporate and government lackeys together…for you have compassion and empathy, the essential ingredients of courage.
The system starts to shrink the day you see it for what it is…terror, bullying, greed and malice.
