The theory of the dying

 A couple of themes have been very present in my life in recent years:

On the one hand, the need for a paradigm shift as a priority in the face of a balloon that is swelling and cracking much faster than the patches we put on it can slow it down (let alone deflate it). Alternative economies, community subsistence, the permacultural vision in its most holistic vision. "It is not worth fighting for a future that does not exist in the present. So let's bring the future as soon as possible because in the present we are losing the battle.

On the other hand, a theory that emerged with two friends on a cold beach some years ago. We could call it the theory of the dying. It comes from reflection in the face of a paradox. The planet that hosts us, the living organism in which humanity lives, is sick, with symptoms of a disease that could be fatal. We, that cancerous cell that is killing it from within. Does it make sense for us to continue fighting for a humanity that seems to want to ignore or even accept its destiny? Today's world is globally connected, there is one mind, a global consciousness in the making according to many, the likes of which has never been seen in history. A resurgence of spirituality beyond religions and dogmas, what then is the meaning of this belated awakening of the collective consciousness? It is often said that the dying, on their deathbed, often realise the truly valuable things in life that are worth fighting for. Of the importance of dying with dignity and in peace. Maybe we are at that moment. Maybe we simply have to keep fighting even though we know the end may come sooner rather than later. Maybe now we have to put all the love and hope we have left because there is nothing to lose. Maybe we will be lucky and find the strength and solutions within our body and mind to save ourselves, as so many terminally ill people have done. And, if not, may humanity at least die with dignity, recognising that we have been unconscious and that love should have lasted. In either case, let us wake up and walk together.

 THE HUMBIRD'S AGENDA, learning from hopelessness and the radical representation of the heart

That state prior to awakening has a name. It is called hypnopompia (also hypnagogia). It is where the subconscious and the conscious meet, it is where many of the dreams that we retain until wakefulness are produced, and perhaps that is why it is a time of great creativity where interesting ideas emerge. Or at least that is what happens to me. Well, some of those ideas that appear do so simply in the form of words, and recently some of them repeated in my head: "the hummingbird's agenda". As messages that my subconscious insists on sending me, when this awakening happens to me I keep thinking about the meaning or symbolism of the words after waking up, and if I do not see it clearly I usually do some research. Normally what happens is that I soon find some meaning that, although unsuspected, inevitably resonates with me, as if my subconscious was sending me that message in the form of a key, both for its occult and its importance. Well, Agenda comes from the Latin: agenda...
