My son is my best critic.April 8, 2009
My son read the page I wrote yesterday and he commented "I like it but why did you title it 'James Blunt marries Oprah'?" Good for you, my son. Don't let me get away with things too easily. I said before that I love it when children burst the adults' bullshit bubble. I explained that the page discusses both James Blunt and Oprah Winfrey, and I allowed myself to be playful and title it 'James Blunt marries Oprah', and that the title wasn't meant to be taken too seriously. What I do think needs to be taken seriously is the content of that page. I wanted to bring people's attention to the fact that for other cultures, people in the Middle East for example, the fact that Oprah Winfrey has producers who main job it is to write shows about women's orgasms must be a shock. I think America has for years been indulging in excessed in all kinds of ways. Financially, morally, America has been all about EXCESS.
I'm not surprised that the rest of the world thinks the U.S. has gone mad. America has been a land of EXCESS financially, morally and just about every way, and that's why I believe the American Empire is about to collapse and the pendulum is about to start moving the other way. Mother Nature is having the last word. The Roman Empire fell because people became lusty, greedy and violated natural law. This cycle has been going on forever. "Nothing new under the sun", as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi likes to say. Sex, reproduction, is sacred. "God" - whatever "God" means to you - created reproduction so that life could go on. But today in America, do you think that sex is treated the way that God meant?
Natural Law and the Decline of the American EmpireI spent the better part of the last decade in Miami Beach, Florida. Back in 2007, I went to a Transcendental Meditation Weekend Residence Course, and when I came back from that weekend, it was as though I had new glasses on. Things that were "out of whack", but which I had become accustomed to seeing, all of a sudden I was aware that they were "out of whack". I felt more connected to Natural Law and I was able to more easily discern whether or not a certain situation was in accord with Nature or not.
So I left Miami. I left a few months later and moved to Fairfield Iowa to be on the Invincible America Assembly and I brought my son, his little sister and my ex-wife here. Perhaps we need to ask ourselves how the rest of the world feels when they see the way America has been living. I read yesterday that most people in the U.S. can name at least one judge on the "American Idol" TV show, but very few people in the U.S. can name one judge on the U.S. Supreme Court.
