Microchips, and a different viewpoint

The recent posts about the coming microchip phenomenon are most
disturbing to me, but not a surprise at all...the dehumanizing of that
which is human is a monstrous development, and one in which I plan to
not participate. Here's a quote from the book "The Quest," by Tom Brown,
also known as the Tracker. His mentor, Stalking Wolf, was an elder of
the Apache tribe, and taught the young Tom considerable knowledge on how
to survive in the wilderness (and, today he's acknowledged as a master
of that practice, and has a school that teaches these skills). Here,
Stalking Wolf talks about a path that is far removed from the mentality
of today's microchip crowd: "Grandfather spoke again, saying "Trying to
live a spiritual life in modern society is the most difficult path one
can walk. It is a path of pain, of isolation, and pf shaken faith, but
that is the only way that our Vision can become reality. Thus the true
Quest in life is to live the philosophy of the Earth within the confines
of man. There is no church or temple we need to seek peace, for ours are
the temples of the wilderness. There are no spiritual leaders, for our
hearts and the Creator are our only leaders. Our numbers are scattered;
few speak our language or understand the things that we live. Thue we
walk this path alone, for each Vision, each Quest, is unique unto the
individual. But we must walk within society or our vision dies, for a
man not living his vision is living death."
That, to me, is profoundly beautiful, and an antidote to the coming
insanity brought by those who are going to try to impose their vision of
a non human way of life on this Earth..Hstick
