TRUTH AT HIGH LEVELS

Rosario Dawson overshadowing Hayden Panettiere's immature beauty !!!!

I don’t know what proper adjective fits the feel of this observation of Hayden Panettiere’s youth, her good looks, energy, or the sheer weight of the accolades and expectations heaped upon her by a celebrity worshiping populace. She is a young thing with a lot of years to navigate through employed in an industry that caters to young people unnaturally. A fear-based adoration of youth, and their beauty has limited possibilities, and a long reach into a dysfunctional adult life. It is incredible the number of people shallow enough to play a superficial game of adoration of, and devotion to the permanence of youth. Not only is youth a short-lived stage of life it has no permanence. In the West youth, gifted youth are a commodity. This culture takes the long way of demonstrating disrespect toward the process of growth, and as long as money is given unnatural adulation the need to develop impeccability, expand the mind, and deepen the soul as we age settles on the bottom of a bog. In the long run, people of this kilt make bad decisions raising children being so terribly focused on measuring their aging bodies, and looks against the firm bodies of 20 year olds who are untested, and immature. Pushing against, and away from their maturation these kinds of ‘adults’ entwine themselves in a non-strategic mess, and become cult members who maintain membership by downplaying the importance of more serious issues that affect their futures, and the world at large. In other words they become selfish, petty, and self-centered. Poverty feeds off of those elements.


One of the predictable outcomes of this paradigm goes to the heart of poverty and wealth. More often than not these young celebrities manage their money and develop a sophisticated understanding of money, investment, currency, business, and nurture a keen interest in the state of affairs of their fellowman. Often they develop deep knowledge about the things they are passionate about. Building legacies, investing, developing businesses, and supporting community organizations, hospitals, medical research, and child development programs at the national and local levels becomes their focus as the media and their adoring fans focus on the most trivial of things about them, and miss the whole individual all together!

These artists can develop spiritually on a dynamic level. Developing their craft and skills to the highest level spills into a higher level of being, and their spirituality can take a turn outside of the often uninformed, crude form of religiosity of their fans. These tendencies have led many to criticize people like Madonna, and Michael Jackson, and Wesley Snipes, Tiny Turner, and John Travolta because it is impossible for the likes of these celebrities to grovel in a fundamentalism that is comfortable for millions, but below the high levels of excellence they have worked so hard to ascend to.

Regular folks complain about the enormous salaries of star athletes, and actors often comparing their contributions against teachers. So how they don’t understand in a capitalist society people being paid according to the value they bring to the market place is understandable considering how the United States has mastered the art of under developing their children. Teachers are important but children, and childhood development pales against the money made from developing youth detention centers, adult jails, and prisons, and pharmaceuticals. At the top of the economic food chain value corporations develop influence to affect government policies, and make profits, and the powerless, easily misguided people are seen as no more than bottom feeders, cannon fodder, or consumers. People need to understand their place according to the distribution of money, and the value they bring to the market place to before they can begin to tackle the bigger problems of the current state of this economy in 2010.

This culture is full of libraries, and long before the Internet access to information was there. It simply required curiosity, and a work ethic to obtain the information, and a strong algebraic understanding of things, and how they work together in this life. To fill in the gaps of knowledge, and to expand one’s mind, and deepen one’s spirit and connect the dots it is best done without the TV, but most folks stop right there and go no further, and so do the high achievers in Hollywood, and other venues. They won’t share what they know to most of their fans. They cannot teach people how to excel. They can’t teach people to do the math to see what the truth is. That comes from one’s passion to excel. Once a person starts that journey everything and everyone they need to help, and guide them gets the news, and a conspiracy to help that individual begins to unfold. Duplicate that in the community and the world changes noticeably. – Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
