Caucasian Winter

"e;That which defines ~Human kind, is revealed, and refined, in the breadth & depth, of our respect, our sapient cultivation, and our rational appreciation - of ~Life."e;Atlas A. Teru  The Scar in Our LivesThere is a hidden, frost-burned scar in our lives, and as such, it remains unhealed.It began, with our cousins, the migratory lost ones, who during the ice age, were trapped in Caucasus mountain blizzards, for thousands of years.Once released, and welcomed back into the human family with a feast, they betray, the human family trust - and attack human kind.Why?Because, eons of time, in fear and doubt – with earth giving them barely enough to survive - had created a different relationship, with life.That chance, to possess, and control, that which belongs to no one, and everyone – was thereby ruled, by pain, by fear, by emotion.After their first hijacking, not satiated, nor satisfied, they continued traveling, stalking, infecting, deceiving, dividing, attacking, taking, copying, and improving - repeating the same patterns, wherever they went.For some of them, each successful raid, felt, like an amazing gift - as if to make up, for thousands of years of neglect - and for others, though their human mindfulness, conscience, and foresight, had never died - on their precarious path, of family survival - they found themselves, melded, into another family, being led - by brutes.Today, five thousand years later, a reaction to ice age trauma, shapes how 99% of human societies are organized, dictating how we relate to one another, and to our world.Humanity has been deeply affected by the behavior, and labels them as one people – but that's not accurate, because there is another Caucasus clan - who stood, and stands between their siblings - and the world. They - who have bravely sacrificed so much, in their fight for human values - are the overlooked representation, of Europeans.The dramatic true story of siblings at odds, uncovers the rivalry, responsible for the current way we manage our our human relationships - and our world.Paleo-climatology, archaeology, genetics, epigenetics, linguistics, psychology, and cultural history, combined with current events, have opened crucial chapters in our human story that have been obscured in shadows.On our journey back to the place of the original affliction, a human mirror has revealed itself, full of trauma, drama, held human codes and contradictions, revealing how environments and reactions shape behaviors, and counter behaviors.We will examine a horrible, extended nightmare, and the equally extended dream, as a way to heal, and finally stop the echoed screams, that have moved through time, into minds, then into societal designs.
