The Answer Man

The Answer Man

There is one big Answer Man “out there,” and also one in our heads. The personal Answer Man has a loud, insistent voice that is usually blaring. He shouts about what “is” happening, what should be happening, and what shouldn’t be happening, all because of what already did happen or what might happen.

This guy is amazing – never seems to get tired. There he is, first thing in the morning with his laundry list of things that are wrong and what to do about them. He is totally preoccupied with his own ideas, trying to make sure everything is OK with his stuff. He wants to foresee any possible threat to well-being and head it off at the pass. He should get a medal.


But a commemoration would be better. Because really, he is a dinosaur – a breed headed for extinction. His techniques may have worked in the past, but they are not what is needed now. Integration is not just a personal thing for one’s individual benefit or enjoyment. It means plugging in to the whole, being one (integral). The “separation” frame of reference that is at the root of evil, sin, economic collapse, whatever – is inadequate for transformation to unity consciousness.


This means the days of the Answer Man – the big one and the little one both – are running out. We are learning there are more effective ways to respond to life’s issues that don’t require mental analysis or reasoning.
