donald trump – Harm's End

A guy that’s on the net. It’s on the net. I not been poet before. Spirits in my head and they won’t go. [line heard sung by the Strumbellas, “Spirits”] We’re shoppin’ for cars. Can’t find a one in your neighborhood. Bubble me up please. This is Ranger. I’m calculating science. You don’t understand the net. I’ll make a video to make everyone laugh so I can feel special inside. I’ll waste my time here. I don’t know what to say. Can you do it, make meaning out of worth? A horrible commotion the whole damn net. Where do we put it? I’m sure some voices rise. Some everywhere. Let’s not fudge with it. Let’s put meaning on there. Can you mean somethin, make us all grow, like we mean something? Where is it the meaning of this paper? I think you’ve thrown me away. The net’s speaking me. Can you hear that? Can you show your inmost self on TV? Just one rupee sir, and we’ll have taxes of course. See that net? You won’t be a voice talking. We won’t take you there. Do I wanna go down there, to a person’s imaginary poet world? Nah, I read a few lines. I think we’re good. What’s he gonna say, meaning? Throw that poet away. I’ve got an appetite for stuff. Many rules gonna get broken for the net value. You are not prepared for its worth. You just think it’s ticklin’ time. It’s like a Ouija Board. Who moved that dial? Quagmire. I think you read me loud and clear. Now let’s test this boat. Too heavy for us. I know; you can’t do it, wash your hands with Jewish genitals and save the world. See how smart you are. You can’t get your head down your pants. You need to go really, really, slow. That book will scare you, Between Jerusalem I’m Sorry. Read that book. It’s an understand the world book, not just human genitals. In this book they’re just redeemed. Can you see Jerusalem? Oh my God he’s on paper, the Internet, the whole world. Green light, oh we can go back and change something if it didn’t work. What am I supposed to do, with QAnon and that whole Trump’s the savior mess? Let’s get them meet the press and it’s we lose our democracy if they’re voted in. You okay? It’s in Nature to stick up like that. This is a long poem, exact words. Give it with me, the meaning of life. Back them I didn’t realize, well, your anxiety’s gonna come up. I’m sorry, give yourself a tight squeeze. We’re handlin’ the book. This poem needs a picture. Who Hannah? She’s a lovely dog. Leading a dog to where we belong in time. Must be some book, leading a dog through time. You got my wolf? I think it’s your wolf actually. Anyway read the book. Is that my measurement? Yes sweetheart. This person is solvin’ the world. You got that Houston? Which asks you to stretch. It's not fun for The Family Guy either. Small snake bite— you won’t get away with it, no matter how you read it, without it doin’ you some number. Enjoy it; this is the end of the world that doesn’t know its origin. You’re headed for a disaster, oh world we live in, if you can’t bring this book to light, or its ideas on some other page. Look I’m talkin’ to yah straight. No other book has the power to bring you to change. You mean it where this book is bound to you, and that’s a doctor, the one you need right now. You think I’m exaggerating. It’s all in the book, and I’ve just mentioned time. Can you see that far? I don’t think you’re even lookin’. History has a book party. I think you’ll find this book in its Rolodex. You’re not listenin’. You’ve watched too many commercials. I reader am in the whole thing. Read it and don’t look back. You want extra-terrestrial contact I should ask. I’m not talking about the one in spaceships. This is bigger than words. Okay talk to the world the very nature of its see. I’m showin’ you that extra-terrestrial. No other formula has it quite to this degree. You understand me? The nature of the universe will talk to yah in large poetry ships, and the prose will just knock you sideways. All in a day’s work in that book. You take it from here. Anyway, let’s call most everybody: what do you want to do when you grow up? You want to be mountain and feel pregnant with the world? Excellent, I got it. I got your book, and we’re right here in the lighthouse Pondicherry U.S.A. to the spirit of India, where star wars meets the Earth in Israel. You got that car? I’m drivin’ it down the street. Hop in. We’re happenin’. We're leadin' a book through time.

“KKK” (CC BY-ND 2.0) by Arete13

Two nights ago I had this dream about my guitar teacher Tom:

I’m at Tom’s guitar studio and outside in the parking lot there’s a KKK rally happening. Tom is putting on a KKK robe because he wants them to think he’s one of them in order to avoid any trouble. Then Tom and I go and sit outside to practice guitar, and a black man comes up and asks Tom if he can go in the studio to use the bathroom. Tom tells the guy no and points out the klanners and says “Can’t you see who’s here?” Tom’s worried the klanners will give him problems if he lets the guy use the bathroom. The black man just walks in anyway though, uses the bathroom and leaves without incident.

When I told Tom about the dream he laughed and said that was really funny because just the other day he’d told a friend of his he was going to get a Bass Pro¹ sticker and put it on his car to give people the message “Hey everyone! I’m a white working class Republican!” He then proceeded to tell me that in the past when he was going to a lot of concerts and music festivals and the like he put an american flag in his car and saw that he avoided a lot of trouble with police and security that way.

Now I think Tom may have been half kidding with his friend, but we can see via the dream that I picked up Tom’s apprehension and how he was thinking about how he could avoid attracting the wrong kind of attention in what he feels will become a more openly divided and intolerant America after Trump takes office. As Donny pointed out though the dream is probably also picking up on fears of coming intolerance on the level of the nation itself, fear in people that if they don’t go along with the hating herd they’ll suffer because of it. I can also see something of myself in this dream, how I also can put on a false appearance in order to avoid trouble. As an example of this I actually voted for a third party candidate in the election to avoid having to tell my parents (who I live with and are quite conservative) that I voted for Hillary should they ask who I voted for. I now regret that because I live in Florida where Trump edged Hillary out by a small margin and to be honest in hindsight I feel like I basically cast a vote for Trump by going that route. Now it’s true that I was in fact put off by both candidates and also that I expected Hillary to win the election handily, but I took the easy way out to avoid any possible discomfort at home and didn’t cast my vote for the person who I felt was clearly the lesser of two evils. Now to be fair I think I should point out here that my parents aren’t neo nazis or the sort of people who would show up at KKK rally. As I’ve pointed out before, dreams often show things in an exaggerated manner to get their point across.

Now the black man at the end of the dream would seem to represent things that myself, Tom and others feeling this collective fear wouldn’t want the intolerant or rigidly moral to see. Donny suggested the idea that the fact that the black man uses the bathroom anyway without incident shows that the future may not play out as badly as people are fearing. Let’s hope that turns out to be the case.

Now it’s already implied in what I’ve written but I wanted to explicitly state how this dream shows how we can dream not only about a collective process, but also about what’s going on with people we’re closely involved with such as friends, family, co-workers etc. I’ve been taking lessons from Tom for over two years and we’re of a like mind regarding many things, so we’ve delved a little deeper in conversation than who won the football game last night. Our relationship is to some extent a friendship, and since there’s a connection there I can receive inner communication from him. To see this inner communication is useful if for no other reason than showing our inner connectedness, which Donny discussed at length in a recent blog.

This type of dream or vision can also enable you to see what’s going on with someone in order to try and take some helpful action. That happened recently with me in regards to a friend who’s a recovering alcoholic. I had a vision of her making some objects like large coins out of clay and there was a muse line with the vision that said: Mine was destroyed. At the time I had the vision I was wondering if this person had had a stumble and I was looking online for advice on how to approach someone if you think that’s happened. In my research I came to know of something Alcoholics Anonymous uses called sobriety coins which are tokens showing the amount of time someone has remained sober. After learning that I figured my friend’s sobriety coin had been destroyed figuratively speaking, but the fact that she was making new ones in the vision probably indicated that she was trying to get back on her feet. Having the vision helped me to bring the subject up with my friend and to encourage her not to get down on herself about the stumble, but to just pick herself up and carry on.

This is a pretty vast subject and I’ll probably write more about it in future on this blog, but I think this is a good stopping point. It would be great though to hear other people’s experiences in the comments.
