The complexity of nuclear
experimentation is beyond the pale of postmodern human comprehension.
It also reveals, although we would like to believe otherwise, our
inability or unwillingness to consider the unseen. Whether it is
invisible because of ethereal origins or because it is nano-sized poison
does not matter; collectively we tend to obfuscate the unseen. Nuclear experimentation also reveals our collective inability to conceptualize time, and to understand just how long nuclear radiation lasts in our environment – and how long our karma lasts.
This
short-sightedness was not always the case. Indigenous cultures across
Turtle Island, A.K.A. North America, knew they would one day return home
to the spirit world, and that their stay here on earth was equivalent
to the blink of an eye. So they considered the Rule of Seven Generations
when implementing procedures that would alter the planet in any way,
beginning with harvesting herbs, to ensure their society’s long term sustainability.
In fact, the indigenous people were so considerate of their peoples’
future as to make sure there would be enough herbs left seven
generations from the harvest. Understanding their place in the delicate
ecosystem, the Turtle Islanders contemplated the unseen and the distant
future, always.
Today we have collectively foregone such considerations. And it was no accident that brought us here.
