ZANTERBUB

My name is Zanterbub. I come from the late Pleistocene era.  I was/am an energy there. As there is no time or past, present or future, I am there in that era and here with you on this planet at this moment. Let’s talk about beauty and hatred which are seemingly incongruous topics in your world, I know, but actually they are very much the same thing. Have you seen something so beautiful that it made you both inspired and sad? Sad because its beauty is so fleeting? That its form will change and eventually fall away? Yes like a flower. It is at once so beautiful and then it changes form and its life force, according to its design, recedes and then it decays. Beauty is like that. Life was designed to blossom and then decay and transform into another energy that will then give life to a new beautiful life form. This life cycle is the Universal Design. The hatred comes when the beauty becomes personal. The fear of the Universal Design – how silly, how pointless - and the hatred of the Universal Design wastes this dwindling energy which further hastens the decaying process.

My point is: don’t waste your precious energies my earthling onto something you ultimately cannot change. It, what or whoever designed this planet had a reason for this occurrence. Tell the people to let go and understand to look for the beauty in the decay. 

AC: It occurs to me you might also be speaking to the issues of people in our culture hating their bodies not only as they decay but also because they don’t fit a cultural idea of beauty – whatever that may be in a given era.

Z: Exactly. That is the beauty/hatred phenomenon.  Of which you are well aware. Beauty of other/ hatred of self.

AC: Thank you for your explanation.

Z:  Respectfully yours.
