Alpha and Omega - Part 19
By Marie Ellen Pacha
The news is worse than we might have anticipated. Not only is there a definite decline in population. It was deliberate.
We strove for balance in our society. We sought to eradicate the prejudices and errors made by all previous generations of mankind. We intended to ensure equality between the sexes and races and religions that had never been present in society in recorded history. In doing so, we may well have had a hand in our own demise.
Remember all those voices of mothers begging for the lives of their children? Calling out to a world to give them a future? The women here heard those voices and interpreted them far differently than we could have imagined. Rather than rejoicing in our survival and seeing an opportunity to create a better world, they saw futility.
They saw all of recorded history and the rise and fall of civilizations. Again and again they saw innocent children used and abused in man's search for power and conquest. And those woman, those mothers, those nurturers saw no acceptable future for their children and for our species.
Tired of permitting men to govern and build and destroy when they finally obtained complete equality here; they took action. And strangely enough, their foundation for their actions lies in religion, specifically in Christianity.
They believe in life after death...in heaven. They believe this world and their time on it is a temporary stop on their way to an eternity in a far better place. And they see no reason to bear children to extend a tenuous existence.
To the men in our group their decision is drastic and unprecedented. The women, as individuals and as a whole, have indicated their willingness to let the human species die out rather than have their offspring become pawns in future struggles for power. By choice, each of them has destroyed all their fertile eggs.
It took generations to reach this point. They never forced their views on any female. But they did have private discussions with one another. How I wish I had been invited to listen in, to hear the intensity with which their philosophy was expounded and perhaps to argue for survival.
As a result of those discussions each and every female underwent procedures to remove and destroy their eggs. The procedures are irreversible. And even before they implemented that plan the earliest female survivors and the women that devised it, controlled the sex of the children born. As a result in the past fifty years no female children have been born.
After centuries of being subjugated to men, women have achieved the ultimate position of control even while being outnumbered by their male counterparts. Our community faces extinction, and yet again by our own hand.
