thoughts, by their very malleability, the ease by which they may be reframed to fit whichever perspective you might choose, reveal their impertinence and immateriality to the life experience.

There seems no way to alter consciousness to the point where it appears fully realized other than to fully realize it. All the other stuff seems the longing of the desperate, worthy of compassion, but not emulation. Like Bob Dylan said, ‘You can't buy a thrill.’

Giving , when it emerges from desire, appears a wolf in sheep's clothing. A three dollar bill.

Cats, although they are valued as vermin predators and companions, also make decent ornamentals and keepsakes, seemingly drawn to sleep on display shelves and curio cabinets. #Caturday

If one can subscribe to fluidity of being than one may, at any instant, express themselves as they might imagine as their most authentic without false starts, baby steps or process: be you now.

Hate and its silent evil twin siblings uncaring and indifference are the product of me world mind over we world mind. Our culture yells at us "me world" every moment it finds us and in every way.

A cohesive identity of supreme being seems beyond both sensory perception and rational thought, yet can be imagined in intimate connection. Delusion or an underdeveloped and under appreciated ability, this imagination?

The most magnificent of human accomplishments, much hyped by the media, pales in the eyes of the homeless elderly African American woman walking the streets of Inglewood with a duffel bag of life possessions and the quiet dignity of those who have nothing more worth taking.

The lanes and alleys of dreamland are filled with aimless souls running in unremembered dreams for want of the mentoring to see in this realm with the eyes to which they were born. Twas the breadth and girth of civilization that cast the pall shadow over what it is to be human.

What it might occur to you to be real is the exquisite perfection of all fleeting and transitory form that dances in your midst. Faced with this realization, one might only reply, "oh, this is perfect". Over and over again.

Atman appears to us in human form as if through a kaleidoscope of thoughts and senses. Allured by the pretty moving colors we forget to attune to the image that contains all.

Catastrophe ain’t so bad after all

Life can be understood as the endless fall at the end of some dreams. You will awaken from this life experience and if words or thoughts mattered (they don't) you think to yourself, "what the f&@k was that?!?" Only the self that would think that will be as gone as the stardust from a falling dream

It seems proof of the falseness of our ego identity how difficult it is to prop it up to the world. Look, look, this is me. Real identity would require much less effort, it seems.

Being in human form is much like the experience of a two way radio. In expressing our identity, we are pushing the broadcast button and unable to hear the transmissions from the rest of the universe.

If smoking is bad for our lungs and a certain pariah standard granted to those who smoke, why are things that smoke (like cars, trucks, and most everything in the military) not given the same prohibited status? Atmosphere within atmosphere without The earth’s lungs are as subject to damage as ourown

Empathy seems to me to be a defense against humans who tend toward duplicity and commonly don’t recognize their own motivations and desires. Being able to read their intentions helps to navigate the uncertainty and implicit danger of their pending actions.

There's a certain performance-related element to Father's Day that diminishes this Hallmark spending moment. It's not like those grading have inter-rater reliability. It's not 'good fathers day' is it?

MAGA don’t need a special psychiatric designation. Just ask Patty Hearst.

Seems a decent analogy for carving out and acceptable life in this civilization, job, family, possessions, community, is buying time shares. False promises, unanticipated expenses and stress, all for a couple of days a year in an Airbnb cabana.

The inability of the mind to grasp divine nature is only surpassed by the inability of the mind to grasp who we are.

Integrity, when drawn from shallow waters, must be cleansed of the impurities of ego and power or its use will be tainted. Deep-source integrity selflessly serves the permanent unchanging face of being.

Avoidance of any form is basically telling the dealer of the universe, "double down and hit me twice" with whatever you believe worth avoiding. It's all life.

#Caturday “Honey, have you seen the LSD stash?”

Whistling past the graveyard

Wants versus needs seems a strawman argument. What really matters seems to be what appears essential. Essential meaning of one's essence. What is your essence then? What are you really? That's what's important.

Good day to miss Sly

Love, joy, and happiness seemingly require anguish, lament, regret, and sadness to be honestly felt. Check your ingredients for artificial flavors.

Wanting: An insatiable mind structure that just won't let you Be.

If you don't vote your values, your vote will never be valued. If you vote your fears. Your fear will be valued.

Each of us is custom-made. One of a kind. Can't find us on no shelf. Not on Amazon. We're priceless and free.

The only place we know that inhumanity can emerge is from humans.

When a gentle stirring of the breeze moves the low laying leaves of the tree through your hair, tickling your scalp like a lovers tease…you pause, enjoy, take it in, and then wonder if Mother Nature loves you, her child that much.

“Dear chatGPT, Grok, Meta, et. al, Based on current scientific projections, where will the optimal (sea level, least storms, best water and air temps, least geopolitical strife, etc.) resort location be in 50 years? Sincerely, Billionaire Land Developers

Warms the cockles when someone vibes to a post and then cares enough to backtrack into my posting history and find others to appreciate. Dont know about anyone else, but that’s kinda my purpose here.

The sum of humanity is its lowest common denominator squared since the only known point of emanating inhumanity in the entire multiverse lies centered in our collective being.

Forced urgency, when something is sold as really important, presents a challenge in life management. So much of our cultural immersion is based on this alleged urgency to get us to reactively move, spend money, get outraged. Puppets on a string.
