Lost!

Waking up in a dizzy. The heat was burning through my skin. The taste of sand lingered on my tongue. My eyes were heavy and struggled to contain the bright lights. I close my eyes and roamed my head to recollect my last memory. All was a blur. I staggered to my feet,  feeling no pain nor hurt. Glancing around in all the directions, I was alone.

I rummaged through the land, found a cave and waited patiently for help. Days passed. The sight was common. Same monotony, drying up my will to survive and hope for a future. The days were stalked by vultures above,  zapped by heat, blinded by sand gusts and hunted by scorpions beneath.

I opened my wallet, took out a Polaroid of my wife and children waving behind the pane of a window, with a date scribbled~ 19.12.2016. I could not recollect when was this clicked and had no recollection of this moment.

I made a stone altar and then prayed to the Gods of this strange land. " I can wait here for help, I know the vultures are more patient than me. I have a family to care for, I ask for a life, let me cross through the night." I took a deep breath, exhaled deeply, closed my eyes and said: " So be it".

Wading through the desert in the night after night, after a few nights I felt no hunger, no pain. Every time I walked I received flashbacks of people I wronged, situations where I failed my myself and others and traded integrity for a quick buck. I cried as I walked thinking of all the wrong choices and blaming Karma for being a bitch.

As the nights passed by I found myself engulfed vastness and silence of the universe.

With every step ahead, I felt light,  my ears grew sharp, catching each wind that whispers and feeling each grain of sand that bounced off my face. The more I walked the more I thought about my past life, wondered where was I headed in the present and pondered about whether I would have a future.

With the moon to light my path,

the wind to guide my might,

every dune seemed small when viewed

by my glancing sight.

Days were a blur,

I slept through them all,

in and out of consciousness,

I did not remember the sun at all.

I reached a point

where I just wanted to give up,

the contours of sand looked the same,

I knew I had repented for my shame.

I pulled out my wallet, a tear dampened the picture,

I held it tight,

looked to the sky

and said " I can't hear you, God, I am not yet done"

After a short distance, there was a palpable change, I could taste the salt in the air. My ears heard the roar of the ocean hitting the shore. I walked as quickly with every reserve that I held, till I, saw the reflection of the moon upon the waters.

I fell down to my knees,  kissed the land and lay flat on the ground looking up at the stars. I uttered in my mind "Thank you, God"

I felt a jolt, a sudden flash of light. My heart was pounding through my chest and all these voices in his head. I got another jolt, felt more like a tremor in my heart and my sight gravitated till I reached a place of bright lights. I was ready for my judgment

I looked to the left and saw some silhouettes in black, I concentrated hard to focus my eyes. I looked to the right, I could not believe my eyes, I saw my family standing behind a window just as in the polaroid picture. I looked right and saw a table top calendar it read  19th Dec. I mumbled "Dé jàvu"

I heard the doctors speak "A month in a coma and slipping away, it's a miracle that he not only stabilized but also woke up. How rare is that".   If only they knew how far I traveled to see this day.

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost!

Doesn't mean I'll stop

Doesn't mean I will cross

Just because I'm hurting

Doesn't mean I'm hurt

Doesn't mean

I don't get what I deserved

No better and no worse

I just got lost

"There's so many different worlds

So many different suns

And we have just one world

But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell and

The moon's riding high

Let me bid you farewell

Every man has to die

But it's written in the starlight

And every line in your palm

We are fools to make war

On our brothers in arms" ~ Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

The Forest of Promise ~ West of the Great Sea

The smell of burnt flesh filled the air, a bright yellow light lit the periphery of the jungle, black plume of smoke rose from the edges of the jungle and darkened the night sky.

The enforcers from the lion clan rushed to the edge of the jungle. On reaching, they discovered the villages of boars and bisons were burnt to the ground.

The vultures, the messengers of the kingdom, took an official briefing from the alpha lion and flew like the wind to the other  clans of the jungle- the foxes, the jackals, tigers, deer, giraffes, elephants, crocodiles, other birds, reptiles, and mammals. They relayed the message with amazing standardisation "the dragons have attacked the jungle, slaughtering the bisons and boars in cold blood and then burning down the village. The alpha lion has called the clan leaders for an extraordinary meeting at the watering hole in 2 suns, when the sun is at the highest point at the sky.

The next day the entire forest mourned the loss of the bisons and boars, they gathered at the centre of the forest beneath the old elder tree that towered  the forest and laid flowers, fruits, and nuts. Fear and Anger was palpable in the air. The vultures revealed to some ,(unofficially when probed), how the lions saw a number of dragons flying off to the east, over the oceans. This grapevine fuelled fear throughout the kingdom like wildfire.

At the appointed time, The alpha lion addressed the clan leaders gathered at the watering hole in the presence of other mammals, reptiles, and birds.

" My brothers and sisters today is a call for solidarity against the dragons. We have heard only fables of dragons, but two moons ago, the bisons and the boars have been slain by the dragons. What did we ever do to provoke such a dastardly act? (teary eyed) Shall we let this attack go without a reply? Should we let the blood of our brothers and sisters bisons and boars go in vain. Or should we teach them a lesson and send a message to all the mythical beasts that such an atrocious act would never be tolerated. (displaying rage) I ask for your strength that we take the war to the dragons,  rampage their lands. The wise old Vulture tells us that these dragons live in a land east of the sea. My fellow jungle men tell me what should I do? Go to war or should I step down as your leader who refused to take this sitting down?(thumping his claw)

The gathering replied "War! War! War!"

The alpha lion then pounds his claw in the air saying " We go to war with the dragons in 5 suns. Let us prepare and pray for success. Lions and vultures make us proud, avenge our loss."

And to war they went, it took 15 suns to tread the sea. At the forest of promise, the clans anxiously awaited any news. Then after 30 suns the vulture messengers appeared with news of victory. The troops returned after 50 suns with their plunder to happy and proud prides & volts.

Few aged lions and rookie vultures lost their lives to the treacherous sea voyage, but it was a small price to pay for the democracy.

Story 2

The Forest of Light ~ East of the Great Sea

One bright sunny day, the dodos and the wooly mammoths were attacked by ferocious red-eyed vultures and lions - fanged creatures of speed. The centres of learning, advanced sciences, medicines were rampaged. Those trying to flee were caught up with and slaughtered.  No one from the army survived the onslaught. The advanced civilisation was wiped out without a fight as they focused on peace and looked down upon violence. The forest of light was plundered to ruins. The weak and the young were rounded up and put into slaughter camps run by selected vultures and lions. Thus ending a great civilization that focused on evolution.

The forest of promise ~ West of the Great Sea

Private Celebration post the war ~ Alpha Lion's Chamber.

The top-ranked lions and vultures attended this victory meet behind closed doors.

"My dearest vultures and lions Ever since a nonhunting treaty was signed with all the clans in the forest of promise and the carnivores pledged to turn to greens as a staple diet. We have plotted of how to get our fill with the support of the entire jungle.

I attribute this astounding shock and awe victory to the wise Vulture who said" Let's attack the dimwits, the bison and the boars who stay closest to the jungle perimeter. We drug them and then burn the village. My loyalists will fly to every clan and spread the news of the bloodthirsty, uncivilised dragon clan. We call for unity in these trying times and then incite mob/herd mentality of war. The populace will have no choice but to believe us and they will choose the path to war for us."

Thoughts

It is easy to accept what the media (vultures) broadcasts as unquestionable truth and accept this populist perspective & mob mentality. It is, however, imperative for you to question, whether you have the other perspective before jumping to a conclusion and announcing a verdict. In this age of technology and media, you are vulnerable to be subliminally programmed to react like the mob. Question your thinking, Question the source of information that has influenced your thinking and Question others to think about their actions. Then and only then, the decisions will reflect an evolution of thought.  Don't be a victim of classical conditioning*2 used to control your thoughts, feelings, and actions. 

Words of Wisdom

           
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organised habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are moulded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organised. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”
