The Silver Bear Cafe

A friend recently sent me an article from a website entitled 'The Silver Bear Cafe' ( http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/home.html ), one that I had previously been unaware of.


Having taken the opportunity to explore some of its thousands of essays from a myriad of contributors, including such authors as Richard Heinberg, James Howard Kunstler, and Naomi Wolf to name just a few, I decided that it would be worthwhile to share this resource with visitors to my blog.


While clearly targeting an American audience, given America's predominant role on the world stage, I consider it to have value for readers even outside of the USA.


Its principal merit is to help clarify the present state of 'The Zoo' and to give an idea of the major turbulence that is beginning to be experienced within the US with the inevitable resultant worldwide aftershocks.

Although most of the articles operate from well within a statist civilized perspective, they do provide non-mainstream viewpoints regarding the order of things and about what lies ahead.

The overall message coming from this site resonates with that of an article that I have on my own site, entitled 'Preparing the Caged Human Animal for the Long Hurricane Season Ahead' ( see http://www.untamedlife.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=47 for the first three parts , with more installments to come).

Essentially, this message is akin to Paul Revere's (to use a classic American analogy) - a warning and a call to readiness.

In this case, as in Revere's time, what presents is a golden opportunity for increased liberty, although the journey there involves some extremely challenging experiences first. If this opportunity is squandered, increased enslavement and even death are likely outcomes for those who are unprepared.

In my book, 'Liberating the Caged Human Animal' ( http://www.untamedlife.com/book/ ), I encourage people to become their True Positive Selves. I define the 'Positive' individual as one who confronts reality and strives to find the most constructive way possible to deal with whatever reality presents at that time.

I invite you to visit 'The Silver Bear Cafe' in order to help you confront reality so that you may then better seek out the necessary resources to deal with it as effectively as possible, ideally to become the untamed person that you were meant to be.
