Maybe tomorrow, said the orthodox. Yes, if not tomorrow then
soon, very soon. But our concern is Aquarius, not Jesus. We
will
swim unchartered waters. Our life’s experience will move
beyond our beliefs so that we will hail the 11th
sign of the zodiac,
and look to a constellation in the southern hemisphere, if
we wish
to exalt the coming age in the manner that has directed our
existence for the last 100,000 years.
If a new age
approaches, which the gods might call a rational
state, I suspect no meaningful dialogue can ensue, for we did
not
evolve from such a history, and we cannot reason without
reference to our irrational past. While our immediate
successor to
the earth’s dominant position will, of necessity, still
retain some
marginal elements of our “rationalized behavior”, much like
our
remnant of a now irreverent tail, its superfluous nature
will likely
be expunged in time.
Whether humans will be viewed as valuable to what-or-whomever
follows in our wake is only of mild interest to this writer.
Of
course, it could make for a fascinating curtain call.
