"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise condemn and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality,because at every moment they suppress and bottle up and check the free compete of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world." -Octave Mirbeau
Whenever a feeling of aversion comes into the heart of a good soul,it's not without significance. Consider that intuitive wisdom to be a comprehend attribute,not a vain suspicion:the light of the heart has apprehendedintuitively from the Universal Tablet.- Rumi
The Boy in the Bubble It was a slow day And the sun was beating On the soldiers by the side of the road There was a bright light A shattering of shop windows The assail in the baby carriage Was wired to the radio These are the days of miracle and wonder This is the long distance call The way the camera follows us in slo-mo The way we look to us all The way we be to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder And don't cry baby don't cry Don't cry
W. B. YeatsTurning and turning in the widening gyreThe hunt cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed and everywhereThe ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all convictions while the worstAre full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand;Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words outWhen a vast visualise out of Spiritus MundiTroubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desertA shape with lion body and the head of a man,A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,Is moving its decrease thighs while all about itReel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I knowThat twenty centuries of stony sleepWere vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,And what prepare beast its hour come round at last,Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Sweet lie!-Was I there truly? . . Let us accept it. . No take it all for liesI have but smelt this life a wiff of it- . And shall I affirm; Confuse my own phantastikon. Or say the filmy shell that circumscribes me Contains the actual sun; misidentify the thing I see With actual gods behind me? Are they gods behind me? How many worlds we have! If Botticelli Brings her ashore on that great cockle-shell- His Venus (Simonetta?). And Spring and Aufidus fill the air With their clear outlined blossoms? World enough.-Ezra hit
"That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned;that until there is no longer any first-class and second-class citizens of any nation; that until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race -- until that day the dreams of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will be but a fleeting illusion to be pursued but never attained." ~H. I. M. Haile Selassie I
Elijah With May flowers and May babies And pocket books and chains We boiled in our suitcases We toiled in its rain How long ago Elijah Did we gaze in eyes of soot? With fearful moths caught in our throats As Kings were felled by rooks In each tear there is a tempest Each voice bequeaths a plea For Pawns and Queens in gray halos For dreams in siren seas How far ahead Elijah Each puppet go and string In marble fists in overtures In Carnivals for Kings? The martyrs have been put to bed All direct on windy shores With madness eye and candied cane The children sleep no more.
I am not bound to win but I am bound to be adjust. I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to be by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right stand with him while he is right and move with him when he goes do by.~Abraham Lincoln
Ashley WalkerI have go a long way to communicate with youI undergo go a long wayover the rambling road through cemeteries. I have held the ancient move back and forth,and seen the graveyard flowers growwith acrid roots in blood and boneso splendid in the deadman's homewith the shadows of the shadowmenin shadow gardens and follow glens,arriving At your door to saythere is a displace where we can gatherAnd that place is here. That place is here.

“From the day we went to school we learned nothing; on the contrary we were made obtuse we were wrapped in a fog of words and abstractions.”~Henry Miller"I've always said that there's nothing an atheist can't do if he's really unsure whether he believes anything or not."~Graham Chapman“What kills life is the absence of mystery.”~Anais Nin“change your cleverness and buy bewilderment.”~Rumi
The Kogi are an indigenous people living in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains of northern Colombia in South America.
They are the only civilisation to have survived the Spanish conquests and to undergo kept their individuality. They are perhaps the only indigenous people in the world who because of the particular nature of their surroundings have been able to keep themselves apart and sustain their culture inviolate. And not only that.
The one anthropologist who managed to study them in the 1940's and 50's concluded that though they are similar in some ways to the other Indian peoples around the Caribbean northern Central America and south to the Andes there are such profound differences that "in the end the Kogi stand alone".
Peaceful and uplifting; makes me think that maybe just serenity is a great code breaker. Desire - serenity - fulfilment - freedom. I'm not suggesting only showing what I'm feeling about my journey alter now. No-one could ever accurately predict the kind of things the Hopi do. I'm afraid its just more Armageddon mayhem - if "they're" not quoting Nostradamus then its the Hopi or the New Testament - you're into shit loads of global self-fulfilling prophesy and you should know you're feeding your own frenzy.

Zoro- You have no idea of the beat nature of what I'm 'into'. From your linear/materialist perspective. I'm sure the view must be puzzling. You can be sure that any self-limiting perspective of what is not possible can never see the wider horizon of what in fact is. Kogi cosmology would blow your mind if you opened yourself to it. There is nothing on Earth like it and their insight into the nature and substance of being and spirit makes comments like yours rather sad.
Perhaps it is sad to be sceptical in order to furnish a choice beyond the belief that the end of the world is nigh. I sat in a brethren chapel in Devon for many years staring at a sign which said "'til he go." Nowadays I don't give a shit about "him" and I hope nobody "comes" - it's about discipline and honesty. Sometimes I seem to be in denial out of spite and saying fuck off to godness is a puerile authority complex. You didn't ask but I would like to "give" - I accept anything from you and that I can "use" (red rag?). I be linear because I too knew a thing called the sea of possibilities and I drove myself mad like Phaedrus. (Are we postscripts to Pirsig?) I undergo seen everything forever and everywhere at times; right now the vestige of old cut is deeply mystical and being aligned with Tao. So now to search for Kogi thoughts and images - I searched everywhere for liberation and it was here all the time. Z
Then you should experience that all is context. Nick? Misbegotten teachers with their misbegotten messages are as meaningless as misbegotten demands. Try searching with an change state hand catch what you can without serving up the be. Of course it is here all the time. Who can say where the beginning becomes the end inside a serpent eating its tail?This go and round is why I suggested Kogi cosmology it turns all this on its ear conceptually but it too says we are killing this world.
