Daylight Savings Time

We changed our clocks ahead this past week, a grand re-programming of the groupmind; a ritual: unconscious as all the group rituals are in our culture. Daylight Savings Time serves the corporate military industrial complex by optimizing daylight hours for production and consumption.

Contrary to popular belief Daylight Savings Time has nothing to do with farmers or school kids and has everything to do with stimulating our economy by providing more daylight hours for shopping. Thus our clocktime is reprogrammed and en masse we began this past Sunday to go to bed an hour earlier, rise an hour earlier and move everything we do an hour earlier in relation to the rising and setting of the sun. I don't like it because it reminds me how much I am attuned to the clock rather than the sun. It feels like the sun rising sooner and setting later when in fact nothing has changed but our sync with the clock.

Daylight Savings Time is another indication of how re-moved from the natural world we are as a culture. Daylight Savings Time pushes us even more out of sync from the cycles of natural time which are optimal for us where harmony and health are concerned.

We are cells in the global culture and look at what that produces: Conflict and Misery. We are so much better than that. We are of the earth, our purpose as humans is not to acquire material wealth and power but rather be the hands and the mind of Earth and an active agent in our own evolution as well as that of the Earth & of the Universe.

Time is a quantity, one of 2 co-ordinates in our space/time continuum but TIME is also a quality. To get back on the path we need to honor the QUALITIES of TIME as well as make our rituals conscious and get rid of the ones like Daylight Savings Time which only serves the corporate military industrial complex and does nothing to optimize our evolution as Humans-in-Universe.
