does anyone have any thoughts about this: can it be that events like the minneapolis bridge collapse can be seen as a metaphor for the falling away of “the old way?” by “the old way” i mean seemingly outmoded ways of ordering the world including engaging in war, traditional religious thought, business, science, etc.
i got a message from a friend in minnesota who commented that he drove across that bridge daily and never gave it a second thought. i see this as a metaphor for an almost blind reliance on old structural concepts that can no longer hold true. imagine all the people who are now collectively realizing that they relied upon the "bridge" to get them from one point to another, but who were suddenly jarred into the understanding that the bridge was not structurally sound. we can apply the “100th monkey effect” and say that if enough people question (perhaps subconsciously) their reliance on the “old structures,” the collective consciousness will change.
this is not to say that people should be in fear while driving across bridges. as we know, spreading fear is not a good way of creating positive change. nor am i suggesting that the collapse was a good thing or that we should see it as a good thing. if the bridge collapse is seen as a metaphor (and not in dualistic "good" or "bad" terms) it might be said that the people who lost their lives did so voluntarily. ? ?
thanks for your ideas!
