On the personal level, don't give into fear or greed. If you want to hold onto your soul.

On the larger level, this is a stage of human evolution. The price we pay to feel, is that a lot of it is pain.

The West is a wave. A giant, history engulfing wave. Yet all waves rise and fall, from quantum ripples to gravity waves across the universe.

They exist in that larger background, such that across infinity, there is overall equilibrium, as all the waves rise and fall, big and small, the energies radiating out to others. So while the wave is synchronization of all the constituent waves, there is harmonization across the larger space.

The West had its brief spell of being the global hegemon, that allowed the egos to inflate far beyond what could be sustained. They thought, in the immortal words of Karl Rove, they wrote the book and everyone else was just observing.

Now it is in its death throes.

Israel is like someone abused as a child and grown up with a violent temper. It was clever and managed to be successful, but things went sideways in middle age and now it's at the barricaded in the house with the hostages stage, looking to suicide by cop, as the larger war it seems determined to cause will leave the place a smoking ruin.

England has lost the Empire and is now just bagman for the worlds most corrupt. Dreaming of the Great Game, but just screwing over the Ukrainians.

The US is heading into a repeat of the last election. Need I say more?

Russia and China basically went back to private government, to control their oligarchs, which is why ours hate them so much.

They recognize it isn't just one Big Wave, but "multi-polarity." That the world needs some balance between all its various forces and elements. The West has shown just one authority, center of gravity is flawed. Many ideals, Gods, gravitational centers, not just one.

A dance, not a race.

Rock, paper, scissors, not winner take all.

Unfortunately you have a very much front row seat in all of this.

While Palestinians are bearing the physical brunt of this, it will be Jews that bear the spiritual blow, as that belief in being somehow different or special is completely disproven by their own hand.

Whatever rises from the ashes, it will be one people.

Life goes to the future, as lives go to the past.
