At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.
And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt. Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.
But you, Daniel, shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro, and knowledge will increase.”
Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. One of them said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long until the fulfillment of these wonders?”
And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by Him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been shattered, all these things will be completed.”
I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”
“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless, and refined, but the wicked will continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.
And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
DANIEL 12

Yes, but being human is not a story in the sense of an overarching symbolic narrative rooted deep in our collective unconscious, from which we all draw to fill out a personal narrative as we experience the world around us. What I am saying is that we lack a common thread of narrative which we can stand & depend upon. In the olden days we had our Christian faith to guide, uplift & enlighten us - we could understand ourselves & each other by reference to the overarching mythology of this creed. These days we are atomised, utterly separated from those around us, polarised in so many ways that we can't even begin to unify our lives with those of others, to galvanise our moral & ethical positions on the various issues of the day. We require a new narrative, one that we can coalesce around in order to proceed as part of a tribe which believes & values the same things - and I believe that secession from the emerging New World Order, going back to nature, will ultimately be necessary as the darkness seeps through our lands. We will need to say 'NO' in unison, to reach for something different, a motive rooted in love & justice, not fear & compliance.

It actually is. Not enough people say it enough, so people forget.

most likely because people had their own heritage and people came along to steal their land and kill them. picture WW2 soldiers from an American platoon on stolen indian land fishing and sharing moments while the original people were exterminated
