Monies have been created not as a vested store of transaction, unit of account and exchange but as a way to alter intent and reward the conflicted. It has thus made self perpetuating/fulfilling logic the precursor to action/intent and cleaved the mind in two. No true artist creates with a mind to end or remuneration but for the process itself. Not necessarily. If you create with the end in mind you will never be freed by the awareness you come to. Even in Dostoeyevsky's Tome justifying the ends his means propelled him from the foregone conclusion and freed him from his own malaise. Sometimes, I think that you you think too narrowly. Not everything is cut and dried. I generally don't have to spend all my time telling you what something isn't to impress upon you what it is. Awareness will change in it's time, but as that is in process we can likely detail in litanies all the baggage we bring without need to say what it is we didn't. Cheers! And No, cut and dried would connote jerky, so I agree. ;) |

Quoting: Swinging on Spirals …Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one." -– Charles Mackay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, 1852 _____________________________ ..... Thought is difficult and painful. The difficulties and pain are due to confusion. From time to time, with enormous intellectual effect, someone creates a little order - a small spot of light in the dark sea of confusion. At first we are all dazzled by the light because we are used to living in the darkness. But when we regain our senses and examine the light we find it comes from a farthing candle - the candle of common sense. To change the metaphor, the sages chase their own tails through the ages. A little child says 'Gentlemen, you are chasing your own tails.' The sages gradually lose their angular momentum, and, glancing over their shoulders, see what they are pursuing. But most of them cannot believe what they see, and the tail chasing does not die out until a generation has passed..... - S.y.n.g.e _____________________________ “Why is it that experts can sometimes be so entirely wrong, and yet so emphatic in their convictions? My own belief is that some of the reason lies in the success of "principles of impotence," particularly in modern physics. Somehow it seems part of the scientific approach to postulate impotence.” —R V Jones, The Scientific Intelligencer _____________________________ We are not hopelessly isolated in time and space on a tiny rock, orbiting an insignificant star in an insignificant galaxy. We are hopefully connected with the power and intelligence of the universe. - [link to www.holoscience.com] _____________________________ That's strange. I felt like I went mad all by myself. But then again, perhaps I was already crazy and slowly regained my senses all by myself. I'll have to ponder that. The engravings translate to "This space intentionally left blank." The prayer is inscribed in an ancient script, rarely used today. It seems to be a philippic against small insects, absent-mindedness, and the picking up and dropping of small objects. The gate is open; through it you can see a desolation, with a pile of mangled bodies in one corner. Thousands of voices, lamenting some hideous fate, can be heard. The way through the gate is barred by evil spirits, who jeer at your attempts to pass. |
