Sleeper cells. Never much heard of them until Hollywood needed such a creature as a reason for the good guys - our government - and our super spy James Bondy types to have reason for much slaughter.... winning hearts along the way.
Woops hearts AND minds and let’s throw in some ‘shock and awe.’
‘That’ll teach the bastards!’
‘Sleeper cells are bad news and nefarious by definition and nature.’
Boy, it’s good to get angry and let someone else do the killing.
In all the moments of ‘What’s the point?’ along the way ... anger, exasperation, indignation, rage, fury, have often attended such moments. They still do and it’s a motivating force but rather than tie myself in knots I recognise that ‘rise of energy’ - because that’s what it is - and let it pass through as energy rather than lashing out.
‘Good for you. So what?’
My blood pressure is fine for starters.
And I’m a sleeper cell. I don’t know what it is that I’m awakened to do so I live my life as an ordinary, ethical human being and delight in the knowledge that awakened sleeper cells are everywhere.
