So far this aspect of the Bhagavad narrative has not been presented, and the answer why it was not is rather simple, there has to be some sort of battle that corresponds to Kurukshetra, and the scene at Corporate Headquarters with the Good Ole Boys just couldn't cut it. Nobody could really lose their shirt, I mean, so what the hell. That is the post-war attitude. There is conflict but it is virtual, not flesh and blood. So it stands to reason that there ought to be some alternative vision or counter-statement to all of this corporate religion ritual and sermon. Not that it would be easy to escape the gates of consumer capitalism--the leaders of these NGOs are still driving Hummers, so effective was their pre-school training. I mean indoctrination into capitalist ways and means.
All sorts of things went wrong after the Fall of the Towers. Something got radically shifted and there are just a field of kids out there with no direction or sense of anything. Rancho Populo cut across all sectors, Vinni's east european "money" experiment (what is money anyway?)was anything if not well-timed.
"What's good is bad, what's bad is good.
You'll find out when you reach the top.
You're on the bottom." That's Bob Dylan, back in 1974. The values got shuffled and reassigned just like Nietsche said. What can the battle for justice be if not a realignment of these values.
This brings us back to the activity at Rancho Populo. Where the general manager Maha Rogers is speaking to Pancho and Paolo. "There is no one thing---no action---that in itself is either good or bad, but our seeing makes it so, and this is the grand message of Mr. Krishna over at Gitacorp. Therefore leap in there head first boys, not only can you not lose your shirt but you cannot even lose your soul. All that matters is that you get out there and rally for the truth. Poor, rich, this cannot matter, still you must fight since it is your duty, and besides everybody's getting a little bit bored with the present day realpolitik and all these shimmering promises. Yeah, go for it as one of the big corporate mottoes goes...
After this accceptance or blessing of Mr. Krishna, all of sudden their faces lit up and the boys don their sacred duty and thus officially begins the era of revolution and realignment with this spark at Rancho Populo.
