Major Car Accident

juxt #3- The metaphoric and actual 'sleepiness' of this town that literally compelled an inter-dimensional being to come forth to warn them of impending disaster and change gobsmacks me .
Why is it that it takes extreme circumstances to wake folks up? How truly unaware is the populace in our 'normalcy bias' that it takes a wake up call to get us moving? Is it really a COMFORT ZONE or rather hypnotic trance?
Are we looking for that 'manna' from heaven to feed us the data we require or should we be awake and aware enough to see it for ourselves and move on that accordingly?
Have we forgotten that the Inner Knowledge is the bread/manna and is accessible always, if only we took the time to be STILL, and see ?

I think part of the answer is we get so accustomed to the tyranny of the ordinary, the routine, the mundane, that we go on autopilot. One day, after the other, doing the same things the same way at the same times, and then if something out of the ordinary happens, very few people can jerk themselves out of the rut and respond. The rest of the people simply stand/sit there, unable to process what's happening because they simply have no frame of reference with which to work.

Another part of the answer is yes, there are many, many people who want to be told what to do, what to think, and how to behave. To act independently, on their own and without guidance from someone else, is just out of their realm of understanding.
