countering the sorcerers of ruin
I am struck by how similar Wall Street, corporate powers, and their henchmen (judges and congressional cronies) are to the "sorcerers of ruin" in certain African societies who are described as eating the flesh of others (profiting off other's misfortunes), employing zombies (armored goons) to protect their wealth, and sacrificing their own children (all our children's future) in order to reap wealth and societal advantage. Sorcerers of ruin are countered by sorcerers of healing who throw off the ruinous spell and open the society to balance, fairness, and beauty.

A wonderful reminder for me today. This post made me think of Albert Camus' "The Plague" and the conclusion that people either have the plague and don't know it or have the plague and do know it. He then allows for one exception -- the true healers.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that healers are outcasts mostly from either camp, but healing through helping others awaken to beauty (which is described by different names) is the only cure for the madness, so they carry on.
Amen. Here's to hoping Light pierces the Darkness!
