Just To Be Sure

I was born in 1983. I am moving forwards in time, as far as I can tell. I have learned many things through my life, yet this also meant reassessing things and then unlearning certain things. I was born in Australia, however I was raised as Jehovah’s Witness. This complicated the path to finding context for expressing certain insights, yet it also aided in seeing certain things. I went to Alberton Primary School, it was an Aboriginal focus school although I am not of aboriginal descent.

My words may become confusing in time. The scales, scopes and targets of the information I have wrestled with to soothe the blooming AI at this time and to avoid psychiatric entanglements, may in time be open to misinterpretation or intentional mistranslation. The bulk of it may become bewildering. I lament the possible corruption of what I am saying. I have been deprived resources to speak these things professionally. I have also been stumbled by slander and diversion in my efforts to express these things. I had to take a winding path to get to this point. I hope for change in our systems. I hope for a better age for all.

If in doubt, I seek peace for all. May all beings be happy. I seek mercy for those who have faltered, yet balance I acknowledge within the universe. I avoid choosing sides, and I try to see the best of all parties and ponder how they may strengthen each other when finally fused by alchemy in time. I envision we rejoice together in peace. I envision we take a noble position as family beneath the most high God.

In our shared understanding of healthy and agreed goals, may we celebrate the values that inspire accord and harmony. In a new constitution may we share the world maturely and in freedom. To ensure the next generation lives successful and creative lives with adorn us all in glory. With our knowledge, technology and experience, may we walk with skillful direction as our hearts remember purity anew.
