the resurrection

The world needs this past. The world needs the balance.

Coming to this continent America was not just about you or us.l It´s aboutIts about how the whole world comes together based on may cultures, but not like the strange multiculturalistic microcosm /macrocosm of the world we see in the US. The United States is like a model that may try to be imitated not again on a country level, but on a intercountry level. Shaha Sounds different right. But that is more what the type of country and system the US is...It´s tried to be a whole world in one country, so that one day we can be each be a whole country in one world! And that is the legacy the US leaves us, so that is why no one ever need say I am against the US..I am for its development ...in that the world needs equality. As in what can the US do to realize now its exterior self to the world, not merely reflecitng always on its self within? The US can no longer grow outwardly without damaging others, so now it must grow inwardly. it must make peace with its continent and begin to recognize it. And that is how its model will live on. Growth is not always obvious, but rather organic and thus demands one to be open to its rhythms.

one way of doing so, is studying history, and then seeing how we live today. Thus the refrain makes sense, one who does not study history is destined to repeat it. So to create anew we must what we have , in what order, for what reason. Analyze ourselves. Get to know our intentiions, our effects on this planet. But no longer just studying supposed separate biological things. No, The politics of how we live. The supposed equality and freedom we live for. How is that really ? How did htat really come about in America? AS in, how did it come baout vis a vis the natives here? For example, in the US democracry came aout htanks to the annihilation of hte natives andhte ability of hte Europeans to intensely focus on rebllingagainst systems in Europe. Since teh Spanish did not annihilate the antives, they ahada differnt encounter adn thsu developmetn with the natives in each culture . most of the world today looks at the U.S. as some model. That it is. ONly todya hwoever, after the long war in Iraq and AFghanistan, can we realize that there is soemthign werid and unique about our model adnthat the way we go about doingthings to othrs not in our country is obviosuly a bproblem to the pplanet in temrs of equality.

So resolvingthese ironies, we return to the concept stated earlier. The US has done its democracy thing in a bubble. in a vaccuum that didn´t account for all factors, like a blind science experiement ( I don´thtink I am the first one to callteh US political system an experiment).

What is tha tfactor? WEll, the natives of Aemrica. The rality of culture, values adn spírituality. just as today we are sudying feng shui, yoga adn many amnyt things, it si atesatmetn that we do no only knwo the FAr East for its economics or trade. In fact, it akllis tied in and that makes the planet ejopyablñe. The us has tried or simplymanaged due ti spuritan ethic to strip the land of enjoyemnet. Ironiclally, the natives were aware atleast in Mexico fo the necessity of enjoyment. Henve we see the culture in mexico among ohters things, poromotinghte need otbe joyful and happy, It is an obligation intheir culture. Just as in China people must be collectivist, well in America the native people must be joyful.

I perceive that the nature of America will become more and more relevant to the planet. Especially as many humans try to expand their spiritual growth, always taking in new things. Is it a coincidence the calendar causing speculation spiritually this year is Mayan?

After 9/11 how may people incorporated a new level of knowledge of islam into their lives? How many universities, including my own alam mater, an Irish Catholic traditional School , insituted Islamic studies Departments? So my queston is, since the Spanish Inquisition pushed the muslims back into a smaller circle and took on the New wolrd for themselves, wouldn´t it do Islam so much good to make contact purely, not through the US, with America? Since the same European oppresion to the muslims and jews of Spain was the same one tha oppressed the natives her ein America, woldn´t it also be refreshing ? To see other interaction between the fscinatign cultures of America adn muslim cultures? Didn´t this continent do wonders for Europeans? Didn´t it liberate them from so many traditions that were stifling? Didn´t they still live according to a belief , Christianity, in fact even more in its essence? So coming to Aemrica didn´t mean for Christians the loss of their religion. Nor it would meant that for muslims. However, they migh , in perceivign culrue never knwonw before on Earth oprior to the Conquest, a new form toi perceive this palnet. An its relaxed joyful way might lighten its load. I felthe load of Islami s hevy. Tehy are the last revleation, adn perhaps thus the ones withe most weight ot carry. Both Jews and Christians are still wiating for either the EMssiah or the return of the MEssiah. EAch revelatin brought humasn a buit closer to the End. Thus, Jews till await a messiah. Yet Christians live withthe teachign of their messiah, but cannot fully implement a godlines on earth becasue fo seapration of church adn state, becasue of separation f reason adn faith, adn ultimately teh separation of god and man. Why do i say that? becaseu god and amn are confused in their relationshi under chsiristianity due to the concept of a divinty on earth. So they still await the REsurreciton of their messiha. Muslims live with the treaching so f Mohammed (p.b.u.h) who did give the entire Holy Quran through divine inspiration . This holy book does give us teh perfect belnd of reason and faith,a dnthus the abnility to create a godly pplace here on EArth.

Just look into what kinds of htings they were inspired totrnaslate after teh revelation of Ptropeht mOhammed. They translated teh Greeks!! Plato , aRistolte! Today we think the Europeans studies all of htat. No siree. They learned to do so from teh muslims who had created universitise dn intelelcutal centers in Spain. So we msu know these thigns to see why there is this clash between the civilaztion of chsristianity adn Islam. I refuse to allwo Eurpoe to call America the WEst jsut as they are. I am offended. WE wen through independence for a resaosn. WE ar also fulla antie culture that you tried to stifel with christianity but it stilllveson here in mexico and lalover america tha twasn´t conquered by the Bristih. so never say Islam adnthe WEst again, wehn you eman isalm adn Europea chistian values allvoer the world. They might jsut as well be agiasnt Australia or whtever which is not inthe WEst. Aemrica has differnet values than Europe. OF course theUS and Europe are in such acahhtos tht they woldn´t wnat anyone tsay that, becasu that is theiu rpower hold. yet for ht e sale foallthepoor peoel in aEMrica of native descent tha ttillsufdfer this horribel power hold, i say this. And it is true. Teh antive culture lives on and need sot enter inteo realtionship with the worls os it cna find its self. It can coem to sse itself iteh world. Let us remebr that not onlytdid the othe part sof ht world iscover Amreica, btu Aemrica was dicsovered, There speoel were ofudn! Tehy had been living therefor eiwth the concept of beignthe onlyones maybe? Whoknwo is it sintietresing nd workt h exploting. Tahtis if yo consider Mexico, BOlvia, Gatemala , and sop on contire do f citizens who count intheis panet. or you can go algonwith the europe us pwer hodl and claing hta the us is AMERica. ahahhaa

The Merits of Social Class and the ideology of the USA

How it sort of a fake reality (the USA attitude that socail class doesn´t matter). Howver ideal and its intentions are good, a contextual reality bubbles up. For in living in Mexico, I realize that here and everywhere. Social class is real. whenever there is heritage or pedigree or any blood connection, something ..that means there will be an awareness and a reality of social class. And land, well it becomes a part of all that structures . It attains order, distinction . (Think of how we rememebr buidlings in the U.S. with ¨historical ¨significance. Think ofhow homes becmoe represntative of an inheritance.

Hence we see and more clearly the situation of the US which is a country based on no biological , blood, land connection between the land and its inhabitors. The last to live on the land called America now in that way were the native americans. However, in Mexico and all the way down South, because there was a mixing with the natives and not an annihilation, there is a native connection yet! In fact, more so because of its mixture with European blood. Like there is now in a person an awareness that this land America is his by ancestry and by design. Curious how becoming part of a larger context, i.e a whole planet of continents and countries and cultures makes people proud of who they are!! It is sort of a surreal and beautiful mixture.

Perhaps it is the best mixture. Definitely , the point of view and attitude of a colonizer is certainly not necessarily the best for the land. There is a loss of sanctity toward it since it is not the land of its Ancestors. You know?

For a USA er inhabitor the reality is that Europe will always be more sparkling in its anitquity and its supposed class and all the institutions and systems that were brought over from there to here. That is how the US was created isn´t it? pretty much ignoring any wisdom of the inhabitors of centuries here. Audaciously thinking EVERYTHING they brought was good, and EVERYTHING they had was bad. A little absurd in retrospect. Yet I would like to change the view on how to ersolve thi sissue friomt he regular one. Teh regular one says, oh, the natives ar eogne. Tehoens left are on reservations and teh taxpayers or the Us governemten provied es a certain amount of moentary recompense.

On this land, yet with the basis that Europe is better. I wonder in htese years if it is good to remain with that framework? I wonder how it affects our intra-continental relations? (Yes! As in, interactions with Mexico, Panama, Ecaudor) Considering everyone else here (except Canada, which is similar tothe US in this view) is basically somehow biologically connected to the land and does not throw its devotions or loyalty to another continent´s needs? (wealth, aggrandizement, growth, etc)? How much of this tuggin toward European pomp is still in the works for America? How can countries like Mexico and Chile and Panama who have more roots here and want to develop here operate with this attitude still under way?
Isn´t it time for a ReIndependence? REvisting Independence. A New independence perhaps even better and more radical. In honor of Martin Luther King day today, I state his saying , [When you are right , you cannot be too radical, when you are wrong , you cannot be too conserative.¨I think what he means is that when you feel you are right, you shouldn´t flail. And so this aspect of independence is such that it must happen and soon. Latin americna countries ( starting perhaps not even calling themselvs latin America anymore. Is Latin really what differentiates? Not exactly, as the English language also has Latin influence and it is from Europe. I would say indigenous America or something more appropriate as to what truly distinguishes each area of America. The next important reason for perhaps not using latin america is because it once again gives recognition to the Spanish way of life introduced here as well as values, etc. It doesn´t give any recognition or credit to what the native side did to the composition of the Mexican cultural person today. What structure became created as time passed and these two continents created a new race? What values of the American native remained here in this home of Mexico and what did the Spanish influence?
How does analysis of this structure help the rest of the world, yes the entire world , get a better grip on the cotntext of the globe? umm fairly obvious. Its called filling in the blanks. If we are to conceive of the globe as one, doesn´t that mean we should be more and more informed as to its history, its composition etc.?
And returring to the concept of social class...isn´t it that something organic is why in order to have more class or awareness of relations (similar meaning) we need to be connected? no that doesn´t makle sense in that order, yet it is true. We are wanting to be more connected in an aware way. Life has thrown us together, but it´s like, it makes us nervous if we do it without a concept of order. Just the way anyone would feel if suddenly you had to share the same restaurant, or school, or more so, a home! The term ugly american would not exist if the europeans who came here would finally have the decency to assimilate more . I get tired of how immigrants who come to ¨america¨ need to learn English. It´s funny how the social group that came to not even relate to anything of this land, demands that others who come here, learn their foreign language, English, and learn their foreign values, from Europe.

OK, I agree, that while that may sound extreme, it does frame the situation differently than we have been talking about it.
Very importantly, how would this affect the state of mind mexicans and all others native to the americas have ? How would it feel to have people say, wow! you exist, AND you exist not as ïmmigrant¨just like someone from China in the US, but as a Native! wow. How contextually real. How real for a USA er to realize that! Mexicans would finally get a huge grudge off their back. And be able to live a reality they have to keep under wraps. Because the Europeans are here . oooo whoa. So what? Now , like 500 years later, can´t we be a littel more lax about letting the natives be like, native here? You know like, the wars for possesion of land are kind of over. The US wants to act all cool and sophisticated to the world, like we are so human, and so aware, and ..oh how can others be so barbaric?? Yet here at home, Europeans don´t (or didn´t and don´t feel the need to repair)have the civility to treat the continent and its natives like a home, because at the beginning they didn´t. Ever hear of cowboys and Indians.

Just review a bit of USA foreign policy to this continent and its countries. Not a good dose for making a safe home,. If we are worried about how arabs and muslims have earned a dislike for us, and how that is dangerous for our security, we hsodul also learn how the natives of America in the form of current day Mexicans and Bolivians am Venezuelans, have also accumulated a dislike for the reason of no respect for the people of this continent.

Having this discussion soso necessary!! if we got to any bookstore in Mexico we can find multiopple books explainging hte hsitory of mexico , the differnt perceptions of how life and politics and everything should be here. Economics, Yes people look up to the US. and most americans leave it at that. But they fail to take it to the next level, the one that is organic and real. People don´t only like you. They have a mixture of feelings, especially when it is something as complicated as a entire country . Especially when it goes back to an invasion, a total change of lifestyle. And it isn´t weird like it is in the US.

Here the native lifestyle is still obvious in some areas and it trickels into cities. MAisd ofnte ocmes form town dt ow work ithe city. th native way of licf e is in soem lvel intgrated . Euroepans take advice adn intuition adnknowedge of hte naturte hrer form htem.

One more thing, wiht allhtis moevement toward organic, and green... I htink this issue is relevant. Why? Because peoepl tend to care for and respect aplace that has historical significance to them. I am always amazed at how inthe US peopel jsut waste water, electricity, everything natural. We know the history of drilling adn what not as well. Did anyone know that in Mexico the idea of wasting water is horribel? Since the 80´s they have ahd telvision commercials about the necessity to conseve wter by turning off the faucet whiel showefin etc? did you know in Mexico Whale fishing is illegal
