Caucasian Winter

There is a hidden, frost-burned scar in our lives, and as such, it remains unhealed.It began, with our cousins, the migratory lost ones, who during the ice age, got trapped in Caucasus mountain blizzards, for thousands of years.Once released, and welcomed back into the human family with a feast, they shockingly launch a furious barbaric attack, to possess and control everyone, and everything their hungry eyes could see.Not satisfied, they continued traveling, stalking, repeating the same pattern wherever they went – as if humanity had abandoned them to that frozen prison - and they could never possess enough, to fill their bellies and arms.Today, five thousand years later, their reaction to ice age trauma, shapes how 99% of human societies are organized, dictating how we relate to one another, and to our world.Humanity has been deeply affected by their behavior, and labels them as one people – but that's not accurate, because there is another Caucasus clan, who stood, and stands between their siblings - and the world. The dramatic story of siblings at odds, uncovers the deadliest affliction humanity faces. It hides under dusty layers of distractions, that keep us from addressing what is a constant threat, not only to our daily lives, but to the survival of our species.Paleo-climatology, archaeology, genetics, epigenetics, linguistics, psychology, and cultural history, combined with current events, have opened crucial chapters in our human story that have been obscured in shadows.On our journey back to the place of the original affliction, a human mirror has revealed itself, full of trauma, drama, held human codes and contradictions, revealing how environments and reactions shape behaviors, and counter behaviors.We will examine a horrible, extended nightmare, and the equally extended dream, as a way to heal, and finally stop the echoed screams, that have moved through time, into minds, then into societal designs.
