Working Class Hero

What about today? Remember John Lennon’s song, Working Class Hero?

And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
But you’re still f**king peasants as far as I can see

In the most profound psychological sense, we are still cave men and women.

Our psyches, down to the very foundations of the Unconscious, were formed in the hundreds of thousands of years of evolution when we lived and depended for our survival upon the tribal band or its equivalent to which we belonged. The virtues we lived by—and had to, to survive—were obedience, reverence for elders, adherence to the old ways. 

The capacity for self-discipline is not innate. How many possess it even today? Independence of thought? That’s a phenomenon as recent as the cheeseburger and the S-class Tesla.

We’re cave men and women now, you and I, and we must face that reality if we aspire to transcend that state and become independent artists and creators.

    Thank you so much dear Steve.

    We use only a small fracture of our capacities. I was wandering yesterday amongst the people in the crowded center, and I was struck by the numbers of lives out there. Life is not one, it is billions, trillions. And yet even at the most beautiful places we consider that magic as for granted and we lose touch. The man or woman who has to work many hours a day can’t hear the self, except the shadow-self that is attached and arranged by the job. The self is a wild beast, it can be tamed, but in doing so, minimized.

    Yet the secret lies where you mention, inside the thousands of years of evolution and the millions of combinations that create life. What is the secret then? Hm, it can be that we are infinite.

    Happy New Year dear mentor, and Diana, and all the people of love, may the Force always be in your favor. i wish love and peace and wisdom and the rare chance to break loose from the rat race of life and get onto the stream of wonders. Ah, and then to keep the wonders alive.

    This is the last day of 2025, Steve & Diana. Yesterday I got the post from you through Go Fund Me, detailing the final items on your To-Do list. To me, it was staggering. Architectt approval by Engineering.. I stopped reading the list way early, but here you are, right on schedule with us. Thank you, Steve, the world is still on schedule, just like the train system in Switzerland! You impress me. I regard my world as a series of juggling balls, and some drop, I decide that juggling is something to put aside for a bit, but you have become a Master Juggler, even trading some of the ones in your circuit with someone ( the Architect, the Engineer, us on Wednesday morning) without missing a beat! I’m impressed. Thank you, and have a beautiful New Year. I will attempt to emulate your example as a New Year Challenge.
