Ghost Dance

By Dean Moriarty

Are we so brave then to become what we must from our defeat?
And if in our becoming we lose our fear for change do we not die a little to become more?
In our falling are we not giants with wings to tumble and then rise up again and become what we cannot lose?
When the sword falls, how much of our destiny sees us beneath it, and how much is it our choice?
Silence in solitude brings answers to the warrior who must dance this; but only after rising to claim it.
Those that stay fallen must be counted as lost and grieved when the time comes to do so, if honour is upheld.
Those ones who are lost before they fall must be cast from the circle when found or else doubt and defeat will come to infect even the strongest hearts.
If in the warrior’s heart the battle has already been won there cannot then be defeat for that warrior, for the war is not fought on the field, it is fought inside where the fear rises and if conquered there, then the greatest battle has already been won and all other battles will be but a skirmish and will be seen for what they are in the greater fight as but some darkness come to assail the light.

What do you do when nothing seems to be working out? Most of my books are about that place you come to when you’ve reached the desert of all you know. When nothing seems to be working out and you find there’s nowhere left to go. When all you’ve tried has come to nothing and no amount of effort brings your goals any closer and where the questions you ask appear to drop dead at your feet. When all has become a grey mist about you populated by the ghosts of all you once loved; where do you turn? I turned to writing books.

A tale of the unattached kind

From The Black Books Shelf

Dedicated to Molly, no longer here but loved forever

Five clues:

The midget as small thinking

The warden as soured hope

The evil ones as you know who

The wall as the barrier

The shadow as the shadow

The builder in his tower

This book is written mostly in Gothic concepts, allegory, satire and truth wrapped up in disguise and is about the border wall, the evil ones and the consequences of opposing the old paradigms in their bastions of small thinking where theft and corruption is a way of life, and everyone else can go to hell. This is rendered in one tenth epic proportions and is a work of fiction.

FROM: THE WARRIOR’S HANDBOOK

Are we so brave then to become what we must from our defeat?

And if in our becoming we lose our fear for change do we not die a little to become more?

In our falling are we not giants with wings to tumble and then rise up again and become what we cannot lose?

When the sword falls, how much of our destiny sees us beneath it, and how much is it our choice?

Silence in solitude brings answers to the warrior who must dance this; but only after rising to claim it.

Those that stay fallen must be counted as lost and grieved when the time comes to do so, if honour is upheld.

Those ones who are lost before they fall must be cast from the circle when found or else doubt and defeat will come to infect even the strongest hearts.

If in the warrior’s heart the battle has already been won there cannot then be defeat for that warrior, for the war is not fought on the field, it is fought inside where the fear rises and if conquered there, then the greatest battle has already been won and all other battles will be but a skirmish and will be seen for what they are in the greater fight as but some darkness come to assail the light.

This will hold true even if the enemy takes wind of it, for only those who have won through can uphold this; all others will be but a noise to this truth and can be recognised in that.

To the warrior there are two types of friend: those who ally themselves to the fight and afterwards go home, but at a later date change their allegiance if the winds of fortune change, and those ones who have battled and won on that field inside long before the outside battle has begun. These ones meet somewhere on the battlefield and know that what they face is but another part of them-selves, and that battle has already been fought.

QUESTIONS OF OTHER

Questions of other abound and more come to be asked as the world begins to wake up and see the injustice and corruption of the ones who rule, and their masters, the moneymen who made the system and control it. But will it make enough of a difference now when still so many are swayed by the media that is biased towards those in power who own the media?

The world is in turmoil with their policies, and as soon as one crackpot dictator or government despot is replaced another takes their place and learns new forms of control with ever tighter restrictions on personal freedom.

The only recourse that people seem to have is to protest and vote someone else in when the time comes, someone who makes the promises to change the system from within yet never does.

This can be evidenced by the sheer lunacy of some in America who seem favourite the most corrupt liar ever to run to be their champion and fix things for them while all the while she laughs her head off at their gullibility, at how easy it is to influence them into feeling and thinking she is the great hope when really she is the heart of the corrupt system that they are electing her to fight.

Her track record for decades is appalling and yet is being glossed over with new promises that things will be different this time, and wonder upon wonder she is believed; if she just once showed her true face to the public she would be condemned by all as the evil witch.

On the other hand is the builder, and with all his faults in public life seems on the surface to be a far better choice than her and anyone in their right minds would not choose her for anything at all.

One can only hope that like Brexit in the UK that was seen as the underdog, the people will come to see what’s really going on and put their energies to benefit the people and not the system and hope that the system is not rigged to always favour the system.

CHINESE FOG WORKERS

The huge horde pushed through the gates and on into the factories where they spent the best part of the day servicing the machine in one way or another until the horn sounded for them to go home.

At home they spent their few free hours chasing the chores until sleep came. And the next day began all over again. Because the wages were so low most had to do overtime and the norm was a seven day week.

It is hard to imagine what the soul has to endure in such an environment day after day for so many years, and although mindless automaton comes to mind when the horde of human beings is seen repeating endlessly the same tasks, still, the human spirit endures for the family, home and to be a good party member fully signed up and controlled in all aspects of their lives even down to how many children one can have.

The owners of the factories have no such restrictions and live a lifestyle beyond the imaginations of the fog bound minds of the workers and with the government make the laws and enforce them to keep the status quo as is for the benefit of the few to live in luxury.

For the ones that break out of this cycle of madness and are foolish or brave enough to speak out against the machine justice comes swiftly to imprison and brand them troublemakers to be re-indoctrinated back into the system to serve the machine, or if too far beyond their control to be eliminated and all knowledge of them removed from society, or at the least to be vilified and their families along with them.

Only obedient mindless slaves are needed, all others are dealt with harshly.

Enticements have been set up such as health care at a
