Tibetan Train & Killer Bees



There was snippet on the news today. The Chinese have built a train capable of riding up the unbelievably high mountains right to Tibet. I found this upsetting and I have been trying to understand why.


Tibet, place of mythical things, where the ancient ones understood amongst other things, the science of sound. Places so high and the altitude with mountain oxygen levels. Yaks and wool and wind seared faces. I mean you would really want to go to Tibet to get there. Now there will be this speeding train taking millions of ogglers.
The very nation that turned into an evil, persecuting mob and slaughtered so many, destroyed the tranquility of the harmless land at the top of the world. Ancient knowledge dispersed on the wind, diluted to invisibility. The Forbidden City now the plundered city. It is all very upsetting just thinking of a people who eat cats and dogs, use kitten fur to make pet toys and like vicious little gremlins attack and deplete the world of dolphins and cut the fins off living sharks just to make a bowl of soup. Ruthless, nasty little MSG eaters.

It seems to me that the good guys are losing the battle globally. Like the TV news story of the killer bees in Los Angeles.

This has a connection, I promise - even if all it is the interconnectedness of things - either good or bad. It appears that killer bees hail from Africa and the only way to tell the difference between them and the normal European or America bee is by miniscule measurements of wingspans taken into account with the exaggerated aggressive tendencies of the bees. The attitude of 'we will hunt you down and kill you' slogan of the killer bee is alarming and I wouldn't be surprised if you looked with a microscope and saw little turbans on their little bee heads.

Seems that the introduction of even one or two killer bees into a hive will very soon infect the entire swarm. It does not, however, seem to work the other way round. There has to be a lesson in that. And I could connect that to immigration issues. Keep letting the baser instinct, the vile and uncontrolled or overly superstitious into the Hive and you will have an infected nation, which soon will reflect the same characteristics. I don't have to spell it out for you. Look around you.

In conclusion, I am very sad about Tibet, the knowledge of the existence of such a place has fueled much of my adventurous daydreaming for many years. Just knowing that it was there, above, remote, all seeing with careful vegetarian monks and nuns meditating and sending out good vibes for our sickening peoples. Now the trainloads of zoo-gawkers from all over the planet will be defiling, destroying, feasting on the carrion of grace gone by. Like peasants suddenly given mob power and shredding the castle fineries.

Personally, I do not think places of magic should be made more accessible. Fat (and fat means other than obese) people should stay at home or do the pilgrim journey like everyone else. There are no shortcuts to true experience.
