The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.

Arguably one of the most influential & philosophical works of the last century. Certainly of the last fifty years.

It’s been more than twenty five years since I last read it. It still creeps into my thoughts & influences my interactions at least biweekly.

By the end of those 22 pages you will have asked yourself questions about your relationship to the society you interact with. Your decisions will tell you more about yourself & your core values than possibly any other piece of similar length outside possibly, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.

Have you heard of Earl Nightingale’s The Strangest Secret?

I have a minor in religious studies because belief in things outside science seemed ridiculous.

Then, a couple years ago I was walking my dog with my wife talking about Huitzilopochtli & a hummingbird flew from the top of a giant redwood to about a foot from my face, flew in a perfect square 7 times, then back to the top.

Then I was under a sycamore tree at the Rosicrucian temple in San Jose meditating on Hathor & inadvertently copied a statue of Plato when I tried to clean a cobweb off it with a walking stick & a single leaf fell gently to the exact middle of my feet.

Then I was driving & thinking about getting a tattoo of Horus when a falcon began flying next to my head outside my driver’s side window for about 5 seconds, flew past my windshield, perched on a freeway sign & watched me drive off.

I could go on but the gist is I always said I couldn’t believe unless I had concrete proof & now I have concrete proof.
