The more I read history the more I realize how little is actually new. Our political struggles today involve the same forces, even the same language, as in the 1930s etc. The present is often so arrogant towards the past when in fact there is usually so much to learn from it.

Read up on aftermath of 1350 plague! The employee/employer power shifts are very similar to the last couple years.

I have been thinking exactly THIS for the last few years… why don’t we WANT to look back and learn ??

When we don't know history we are doomed to repeat it. On a positive note, its never too late to #returntolove #LifeLessons

One of my favorite old movies is Meet John Doe where Barbara Stanwyck plays a journalist who realizes she’s been complicit in helping an American oligarch in building a fascist movement. It came out in 1941. It’s Capra’s lesser-known Christmas movie.

The more I read history, the more I see Sentient Beings repeating it. Taking Humans into the World of Spirituality is always compromised by Human Attachment to "Materiality." #Namaste

It's really simple, when you recognize it's People that are the way you describe, not some abstract massmind called Present. Everyone wants to think they're different, and special. Nobody wants to be considered dated (fashion, you know, like Galas & in Tech!) Vain peacocks all.
