What is this Destruction you speak of?
I was asked this question by an beautiful soul regarding my last writing. And in receiving that question, I understood the need to clarify and explore it in greater depth. And so I have striven do so here.
Destruction as a concept is filled with intense negative connotation in contemporary English. It is a word that implies violence, the use of force, with overtones of anger and hatred embedded in the intentionality behind it. 'To destroy' a thing is, often in our minds, a terrible and negative act.
But Destruction does not need to be, nor fundamentally is, violent. Destruction, as the opposite component of Creation in the Creation/Destruction duality, simply a part of the reciprocal cycle that allows change and transformation to take place. Rotting wood (destruction) allows for the growth and sustainment of lichens, fungus, worms and grubs (creation) that are then eaten (destruction) to allow bears, birds, insects and eventually people to survive (creation).
Yes, the duality is an illusion. Yes, they are in the end One Force arbitrarily divided by human consciousness into two separate forces. But it is an illusion that we GIVE MEANING TO. And this allowance for MEANING in this duality, as arbitrary as it may be, is one that we are best served to consciously recognize. For by doing so, with full cognizance, we can apprehend Intention in the manifestation of these forces in our reality, in our society, and in ourselves.
What we are aware of, we can consciously participate in: shape. What we are ignorant of, controls us.
We speak often of the New Sun, the New Age/the Age of Aquarius, the New Paradigm, the New America, the New World. Yes - there is something that we have been building together for quite some time! Something not quite like what we have had prior, or have now.
But HOW - how does one manifest the new Creation in a space filled with an old one?
How does one pick up a ripe apple when one's hands are full with rotten cores? Gingerly? Timidly? Balancing the new fresh fruit on the backs of brown and blackened skeletons of decomposing pomes? Or does one put down the old, allowing the energy and matter in them to compost back into the soil, and pick up the new apple firmly, with confidence and power?
Destruction is letting go; it is a means of relinquishing. Nothing more. The Ego lets go of the Body in Death - the Self lets go of the Ego in the moment of Transcendental ecstasy. A mother lets go of her child in birth. We let go of our deceased loves ones through grief.
But intention. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. The Destruction of the Old Paradigm need not be one fraught with blood and peril. It need not be one filled with hatred, anger, fear and ruin. And know this - that the actions you undertake are each one participations in that Destruction.
What is the Intention of your actions? Do you think/feel/believe that actions with negative intention will create a Paradigm of positive intention? That you can pave the road to some peaceful paradise with corpses, flaming ruins, and broken souls?
The New Sun is being created. You are one of the creators. It will be as you, as I, as they make it. Nothing more, nothing less. If you seek peace - act with peace. If you seek love - act with love. If you seek compassion - act with compassion. If you seek justice - act with justice. You will manifest only what you manifest into the world. For how can it be otherwise?
MUNAY, my brothers and sisters.

Picking up a Paradigm with the hands of the gods
Let us speak of needs.
Pulling away an old way to allow a new one is full of pain, shock and the failure of the means of the provision of needs. Food, medicine, water, shelter, natural systems - all of these enter states of risk when an entire Paradigm undergoes metamorphosis.
Destruction is the necessary facilitator of Creation - but Creation takes time. Or perhaps more appropriately, Creation happens in the simultaneous now, but it humans manifest delay in integrating creation into their lifespaces. Creation has happened, but humans let go of what is rotten and take up what is fecund slowly.
The letting go of the dead old ways is as a wave traveling through the fluid medium of a population. The ones that have placed themselves furthest away from the epicenter of change will be the last to experience the shock, but will be the ones in most dire need the change once it arrives (if it arrives "in time" at all).
Like doctors and EMTs rushing to the scene of a calamity, those who have placed themselves closest to the epicenter (those who have opened up themselves the most to the reality of the paradigm shift) will be the most needed to aid the transition of those further away - the ones who are less prepared (particularly emotionally and culturally) and therefore who will suffer the most from shock, dislocation, agony, confusion and the victimization of their psychological response to change.
Epicenters will exist and do exist already in many places - really, an epicenter exists inside each person who has come to terms with the change. The swiftness with with those around the epicenters reach out with love, compassion, and the tools of aid (medicine, healing, food, skill, craft, etc.) to those in need will radically color the future of the fluid medium of the population. For the rollback of that wave - for there is a reaction to every action - will vary greatly in its intention and intensity in proportion to the speed and response of those Emergency Paradigm Technicians (EPTs).
If you are integrating this All already, you are already well on your way to being an EPT. The capacity of your compassion to transform potential change into intention evolutionary action is the critical component in what the New Way will manifest as. It is cliche to say, but still true - the future is in your hands. Its in your hearts. You are the change that will come to pass. The ones we have awaited to manifest Yahtaeo, to manifest the New Sun, are US.
As the Meso-Americans mythologized, the gods sacrificed themselves for this Sun we live in, now dying and rotting away to make room for the next. We are the gods on the ground now. Its on US.

Manifesting the Dream
Creating the Dream from the ambiguous aether of the neurospheric entanglement of Beingness...
That is to say, manifesting something Real from the overarching transphysical reality within which we sympathetically vibrate...
Or, in other words, making actual what is dreamt about, what is postulated, what is supposed, imagined, participated in at the theoretical or artistic level. Transitioning from fantasy to simulation to immediate omnipresent reality as we accept it...
To do so, one must fertilize the seeds of what IS To Come with the remnants of what WAS Never To Be.
For there to be creation, there must also be destruction. Paving the way for the future that is unfolding in the Now requires the extermination of the present Now manifest.
Sometimes, the greatest act of compassion is murder. A mother bird feeds her children with the death of countless worms. Each one is a destiny sacrificed to Manifest the fledgling's opportunity to Be. Never ignorantly or naively assume otherwise. For to do so is to victimize one's responsibility to Power, to Medicine, to Destiny, to the Manifestation of the Dream in the Now.
Take responsibility for your Power. Take responsibility for your Manifestation's impact on others. To blithely assume that any positive action is without negative consequences is to fall victim to eternal immaturity. The Yin and the Yang balance one another, as a fundamental consequence of our Beingness in this Transversal Manifestation.
When you can Manifest a Now that transcends mere gratification, and resonates with Integrity, Compassion and Love - then you beget something of merit into History; into Reality; into Being. KNOW yourself. KNOW Why you seek what you seek. Delude not yourself with your own illusions and pretensions. Own completely what you seek to make without excuse or compromise.
To do otherwise is to ensure another endless cycle of failure. Another endless cycle of disappointment. Another endless cycle of stagnation. Another endless cycle of injustice.
Eternity is too short to be wasted. ACT with Ownership of the All of You, the All of Your Intention, the All of Your Impact, the All of Your Calamity, the All of Your Blessing.
If you do, we may all in turn be saved by your Integrity.
Would you allow us that chance?
