Let's hope the eclipse doesn't eclipse the world's better judgment
August 21st promises to be a(nother) "world event"---a "once-in-a-lifetime experience". A total solar eclipse transpiring in a good 1/3 of the U.S..
It shows how cosmically provincial humanity is, even to this day. Everything is so earthcentric. That's why two to five minutes of darkness in either mid-morning or mid-day is such a cause for celebration.
Some are even attributing metaphysical elements to this event, like it's somehow "ushering in a new age for mankind".
Certainly the Gods are responsible for this act. It stands to reason that the ones who/that created everything, likewise, are the ones who/that established all cosmic patterns of the universe, including the patterns of our own solar system.
But this pattern and all other patterns have been preset hundreds of millions of years ago. It's part of an overall pattern of which our solar system's is but integral.
My only actual concern about this event is the "tourist attraction" aspect. That could be a disaster in the making.
