THE MEERKAT CHRONICLES

MOBIUS THE MEERKAT’S PREMIERE WEBCAST

“Welcome to the GiveGet Nation... the human values economy where your gifts and wishes are the capital for creation…

Give, Get and Share -- Goods, Actions, Knowing and Spirit – for infinite recombinations, permutations, and manifestations to enhance local and non-local transformations, transmutations, fantastic confabulations and prognostications." " 

Whew! It was Uncle Meerkat talking again, the under-employed, avuncular Voice of the Sponsor. Rumor had it he was a bit over-the-top from all the time he spent muttering about insufficiently mattering. After all, the Meerkat was a GiveGet, you see…

"Hello, hallo, hola, bonjour, ciao, こんにちは,여보세요, 你好!” tongued the GiveGet loquaciously neither spitting, stuttering nor uttering with so much as a glottal fry. “ Welcome, wilkommen, recepción, bienvenue, benvenuto, 歓迎, 歓迎, 환영!"

Since he had already taken the desert floor, the valiant Meerkat decided it was high time to take an even grander, more forthright stand, a move that always left the starry-eyed GiveGet masses gasping for existential gases and clamoring for more. But today was a very special occasion for Mobius the Meerkat’s musings were being broadcast to a global audience of Homo Noetica to be:

"Star-stuff, Earthseeds, Human Beings with needs and deeds, we Meerkats are GiveGets just the same as you...and you... and you... and you..." mused the whimsical, funky uncle, conjuring the variety of life-sprouts as he mobiused about. "So can’t you see? For gifts and wishes sake... It’s time to wake!... Everything in the GiveGet universe was born free to give and take!

“Why that just can’t be!” resounded the crowd, breaking the stony silence of the steamy, smorgasbord of huddled Earthseeds spilling out in every direction from the horn of plenty.

“Giving and getting, coming and going, ebbing and flowing, to-ing and fro-ing -- that's the nature of Nature, so naturally it's our living, confected, complected, contexture--get the picture?”

“Shazzam!” called out the crowd, as if hearing it for the very first time.

“In the beginning… the first GiveGet legend unfolded by the most unlikely of sages foretold (after the fact) that even before the first days in ages, All in One had us already practicing and rehearsing for the miraculous Big Bang in all sorts of little ways for days without end: giving and receiving, inhaling and exhaling, opening and closing, inning and outing, upping and downing, expanding and collapsing, black and white holing, bonding and oxidizing, effervescing and pacifying, exploding and imploding, fattening and skinnying, expanding and contracting, younging and olding – why we GiveGets to be just couldn’t get enough of it although at first the give was tough-- rounding and flattening, plusing and minusing, enlightening and endarkening, sweating and osmosing, shining and dimming, mattering and anti-mattering, living and dying, loving and leaving, photosynthezing, synergizing, electro-magnetizing, timing, xseasoning, cycling, vibrating, wavicling—why even hello-ing and good-bye-ing!!”

The Meerkat paced back and forth, becoming quite excited by the audience’s enthrall with his existential dynamicizing for one and all.

“So by the time we sprouted, we Earthseeds were so used to doing the GiveGet that it was already our first, second and third nature. And that’s precisely when the chief amongst us inconveniently forgot its own nature, consistency and existency,” the Meerkat said insistently.

“Aww! Oooo!” whooshed the audience in despairing waves of unity.

“It seems the Stewards of Star-Stuff had separated from the guiding light and fallen into the night of deep amnesiac sleep. They forgot their source, character, meaning and purpose – and ours! And thus began the Earthseed’s Long Night’s Journey into Day. Dysfunction was afoot and undermining the underpinnings of the Cradle of the Garden.”

“No!” the crowd shouted back to the middle-aged Meerkat.

“And what had happened? They had forgotten to remember that they, too, were GiveGets… That we GiveGets are living interpenetrated wholes without parts… that we are of infinite diversity and creativity, all born of the same loving process of give and take, in and out, to and fro. Separate and unequal are illusions. They forgot the natural law order of the Cosmos is giving and receiving. They forgot that Give and Get are two sides of the same inseparable, eternal process of exchange and flow. “Can’t you see how they’d forgotten and lost the most important meaning to know?

“Yes, we can! We can see it!” called the gaggle. And now the air was thick and moist with anticipation… The GiveGets knew they would soon be experiencing one of the Meerkat’s mind-popping moments and mythically amusing AHAs!

“And what do we call the state of infinite energy between the give and take, ebb and flow, birth and death?”

“Life!” called out some.

“And what’s another word for Life?” queried the Meerkat?

“Sharing!” shouted the remainder, as if for fresh.

“AAHHH, Yes! Life is sharing and sharing is life! In other words, One for All and All is One,” enchanted the Meerkat, quite emotionally this time. “There’s simply no escaping the sharing condition of the GiveGet rhythm so let’s convince the Stewards of Star-Stuff to get back into the GiveGet action before it’s too late!”

“Here-here!” cheered the Earthseeds.

“If we can help the Stewards of Star-Stuff understand that simply by putting to work unutilized GiveGet capacity, all GiveGets can live freely, abundantly, for eternity!”

What the Meerkat was saying sounded a bit radical – he was so far to the left he was in the right -- but it was hard to deny the inevitable, inescapable, inexorable, indubitable, inflummoxable conclusion that simply by circulating the élan vital of GiveGets naturally, the human GiveGets could be happy and at the same time save the other Earthseeds from the enrapturing, collapsing slap of All in One’s apocalyptic Big Crunch ‘n Stuff that all their dreaming had been meaning.

And now the Meerkat spoke over the heads of the crowd and connected with the masses beyond with a possibilistic dazzle of his eye.

“So my friends, whether they are gifts or wishes, gives or gets, fits, fixes or frets, it doesn't matter," Uncle Meerkat waned and waxed, attempting to condense the chatter, “we need them all. Simply deposit your own special GiveGet values into our little bank, upload your best shot and we'll make sure the sugar of your sharing attracts some surprising manifestations in less time than it takes to think, 'Life Energy be One with Thee!,’ and you'll catch the rhythm of Life’s Eternal Mystery...

Waves waving waves waving waves in synchronicity with the harmonizing beat of 100 million times 100 hundred million stars singing in sweet chiming delight:

'Give all you have to love and you will be all things.'

Did you get it?" fretted the GiveGet, "For heaven's sake, let me say it again, so there's no mistaking it:

'Give all you have to love and you will be all things.'"

A serendipitous, sweet hush fell upon the blooming desert as the diversity of Earth-Seeding GiveGets nodded to one another in unity.

Noticing the effect, feeling the wave of gratitude and appreciation, Mobius the Meerkat looked like he was about ready to call it quits, egress so he could access again later, just-in-time for the next encircling, recycling crowd...

"So, come one, come all, here in this GiveGet world, all Earthseeds are welcome to mix and match, make a wish, fulfill a dream…

To Share… To Live…

Give-Get Nation. The metaphysicians, artists and web-wizards are all here to serve you, to beam you up in cyber-phase with classical, new and post-physical ways. They’re wielding and winding, spinning and fueling the synergic engine with existential dynamics, psychoid intents, strange attractors of meaning, alchemical concoctions and spiriting words of all cultures to manifest the utmost in a commons for everything we star-stuffing, Earth Seeds have in common...

Gifts and wishes... love and gratitude... whichever they are, whatever they may be, here in our gift economy, everything is free, and the dynamics of the GiveGet values are alive in thee…

Get some traction, be the action and you'll be a starring attraction! Use the reference wave of your thought beam to manifest the existential dynamics of Creation for you and others at the same time. They are your brothers and sisters and there are no others. That’s who and what you are. More than a few would call this act your Destiny… for Eternity.”

And with that, while bowing graciously to the standard applause line, the GiveGet went back behind the curtain until time came around again.
