humans got so caught up in tools to dominate and control (just to be safe) that they thought consciousness was one too. it is either the worst tool ever designed or, more likely perhaps, not a tool, but merely an experience.
To be free of suffering, one must disavow the suffering of all beings, including oneself. To be present to suffering is to suffer. Is it worth blinding oneself not to see truth?
sustainability, for nature, is not case sensitive and has no character length; those would be species specific concerns.
that maggots, mold, fungi and I share dietary preferences adds perspective to the physicality of life.
This civilization wasn’t a pinnacle, but a learning moment. Homo sapiens believe themselves as the top branch of evolution only because they fail to account for the future.
Capitalism is a harsh ideology. There is much more cohesive coherence to the dollar bill than to any, any religious framework, who mostly get moments of cherry picked subjectively projected bias.
The Big Bang, as conceptualized, showed us that the entire universe can fit within the smallest imaginable piece of consciousness. That the entirely of being fits together in virtual nothingness may comfort those who feel lonely when not squished together and merged with the whole universe, right?
The transcendental moment is the wisp of smoke and hint of flame in a land and time where most are told that their existence is a pile of kindling consumer goods and their soul is highly flammable.
Self-esteaming: letting the heat from the light within you melt away all the false selves you've grown overly attached to so you may recognize and serve the self that sits at the seat of being.
All being is indiscrimately precious and wonderful. Every speck of dissonance to this truth is disrespectful to your source, be that god, nature, or clever electro-chemicals and evolution. Disgraceful to treat your very being as an instument of harm. So so easy.
Meditators simple delights: just by saying, "oh look at the precious baby. Who's such a beautiful baby? You are!" My brain releases a shot of oxytocin. Noticed it with our baby pigeons outside. Tried it later without them. Still worked.
Dream large, at the height of your imagined longings seems but a trifle for universal will. The longings of spirit will be kindly indulged as such.
Letting the mind entoxin the body through somatization of wrong thinking is abuse. Check the mind before it pollutes the body. Let the body inform the mind through movement and breath. Stop playing a backwards game.
On the way out to church, was gifted, "is god a noun or a verb?" by the churchgoers. It just occurred to me that the f word carries that same sacred burden of multipurpose.
That we wish to consume and possess the beauty in the world rather than preserve and nurture it is savage.
Do politics improve civilization for humanity? Tell me true…
At its foundational level, creativity, moment by moment, can be conceived of as the vector force towards or away from realized consciousness. Never let its value be understated or underappreciated.
The most intractable fate and destiny would crumble beneath our collective consciousness and our collective hands if we might remember what being human offers us in possibility.
Maybe oceans tell us how to vote. Clear blue seas are beautiful, pristine, desirable. Green seas are shallower and commonly contain too many nutrients, pollution and are oxygen starved. Red tides are deadly to fish, marine mammals and man,
The universe can appear magically divine and begging you to construe it as such because you manifest with your glance, voice, touch and loving attention.
