God.
Every time I read something new and Area X related, it feels like Jeff is really trying to get the attention of anyone who feels like they've got power restrained by love exploding in their head like Saul.
He's right. Lowry is the dominant consciousness in the spiritual Area X we all live in.
We stand at the end of the west, and of many more things beyond that. The greatest threats are all intricately tied to the balance of the biosphere, while the nations still play at power games.
Area X is an end which has already begun. The force driving it learned a series of truths which tempered the "f**k" encoded into both Lowry and the rest of biological nature, right on down to the rabbit.
Just like Lowry, we're still stuck at "f**k".
The path which made Area X into something better started with Love, spirituality's fifth element.
First, it was love for ecology (as well as Charlie, Gloria, and Jim's piano playing whether these events were natural or guided by fate's hand).
Then it was the unity with those things and the homeostatic supremacy of beauty in those things as perceived by the biologist.
Understanding humanity enough to get Area X to find a love motivated place for us in the new reality seems to be one of the hardest parts of the process, as is finding a Saul, biologist, or Control capable of withstanding the existential spiritual wound that comes with facing the whole immutability of the thing and still being able to move with enough purpose to steer it a little and save some consciousness in the process. That way, the stories themselves can live on whether the current form of the minds holding them does or not.
Barbelith.
