Heretic Social-Farmily-Science Chimera
by Lara Braveheart

I imagine that a significant number of readers may find it difficult to suspend judgement, as demanded by their personal identity attachment to their -- particularly religious – beliefs; long enough to consider the thoughts shared herein, as probable cause, for a socio-ecological revolution of thought and being.
..
Brad Blanton, Ph.D., the author of among others, Practicing Radical Honesty and Honest to God, (co-authored with Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God) says that “we’re all hungry for clear articulations of what we are presently in the middle of doing.”
..
It appears to me, that significantly more than 60% of humanity’s ‘pseudo-God’ and ‘money-idol’ worshippers, are presently in the middle of, among others: (i) unconscious irresponsible mindless-breeding; (ii) economic-growth resource-depletion ecological terrorism; (iii) disaster-capitalism resource destruction; and (iv) indifferent, deliberate denial and ignorance, as to the cause and effect consequences of their pleas for ‘plausibly-deniable-mercy’ on their imminent ‘day of judgement’.
..
The Sufi’s estimate that 98% of humanity cognitively live at the lowest level of human consciousness: the level of belief. They demand that the truth about their beliefs, whether religious, economic or political, be given the status of timeless reality. Put differently, ‘all the lonely, desperate, greedy, hungry, rich, poor and phony people are suffering from attachment to obsolete models, at their own minds.’
..
Darwin’s ‘Survivalist road to endarkenment’ nightmare: the idiotic, uncompassionate, ignorant masses of humanity are procreating themselves at a dizzying rate, while the educated, compassionate, love-conscious fittest may soon require their listing on the WWF endangered homo-species extinction list.
..
Here’s an idea for a new socio-econ-political model, to the current mindless breeding, overpopulation consequences of millions of spiritually, financially, psychologically and emotionally unloved poverty-ridden children. Call it ‘Love-Conscious-Human-Family-Co-creation’ if you wish, or those of us enamoured with the idea call it ‘Champagne and Scrambled Eggs’.
..
A Darwinian Sparkling blunt idea: Imagine (a) giving birth, or pro-creating a child is self-consciously considered not a right, but a psychological, emotional, financial and spiritual privilege; for any man or woman; (b) prior to procreation any man or woman considering contributing their genes to the human evolutionary Love-Conscious-Human-Family-Co-creation gene pool want to demonstrate a reasonable conceptual understanding of their enthusiastic commitment and capacity to fulfil the required emotional and psychological needs for their intended child; and (c) may choose to do so, by adopting the scrambled eggs model whereby the intended child is conceived by the combination of multiple financially, emotionally and psychologically committed fathers genes.
..
Imagine being such a child. Imagine the possibilities for new conversations, dreams, and ways of being a man, woman, father, mother, and/or child, in such a committed love-conscious-human-family.Imagine the socio-economic and ecological revolutionary consequences for our future, as more and more committed love-conscious-human-families storm the psychological, emotional and financial Bastille of our current dogmatic fundamentalist society. Imagine the future we could create. Imagine the day we can really in our beings, confidently call ourselves humane, compassionate, loving human beings… Imagine the birth of love-conscious-humanity co-creation.
