Cain and Abel

                                                           One American congressman called for the World to Unite that "IT" may "find a path" to Peace and the re-opening of Hormuz .   This man had served in Afghanistan under Combat Conditions so he must be deemed a True Veteran .   You'd think that he would have pointed to AMERICA to find that path, but american republicans are too COWARDLY to confront trump and call for his IMMEDIATE ---->  RESIGNATION .  "IT" 's sickening .   

                              As I sat in Mull this arrived ;  "Am I my brother's Keeper ?" . We all recognize this from the Biblical Story of Cain and Able .  You recall that Cain killed Abel out of Jealousy but that God did NOT kill Cain for his fratricide, instead, "Marking" him with some sort of symbol that was Protective in form and nature .   I don't like this story, never have .   

                            You can see "IT" rite ?   Not only does Cain GET AWAY WITH MURDER, he also gets DIVINE PROTECTION .   How the fuck can that BE ????

                             Look at trump ~~~  he declared that he too could GET AWAY WITH MURDER and HAS .   He has MURDERED his own brothers and sisters and has been REWARDED not Punished .   Trump started the War with Iran, MURDERING THOUSANDS, and has yet to receive ANY REAL PUNISHMENT .   Now, american congress folks want the World to somehow PAY FOR TRUMP'S MURDERS by coming to his RESCUE in a GLOBAL EFFORT to Open Hormuz.   Now we can see it and ask, "Is the World trump's ---> Keeper" ??????

"Reefer Madness"

                                                           We say, "My Heart is broken" that "My Heart is in pieces" ;  we say that some folks have a "Bleeding Heart", indeed, we even say,  "He (or she) is a perpetual Bleeding Heart .   You can see "IT" rite?  The Heart is a PHYSICAL Organ besides being a PHYSICAL Organ .   It's getting weird,,, not only does the Heart have a Brain, IT HAS A BODY .   Anyone see THAT coming ?????   I sure didn't ... .

                           Most of Us would agree that it is the Heart that is the Root and Source of LOVE .   How the fuck can THAT be ?   Shouldn't the MIND be in control of all Thought Production and Emotion Generation ?    It's been Written, "Where [ever] the Mind goes, the Body is sure to follow".   Nowhere have I ever read, "Where the Heart goes, the Body is sure to follow" .   Curious isn't it ? that we are wary of  "Giving our Heart away" .    Here's a funny ;  We give our Heart away and then we have an "Out of Body" experience .  I mean, toooooo good . 

                            We are even careful of those that have, "A Heart of Stone" while simultaneously praising those with "A Heart of Gold" .   The Heart has a >Physicality< that must not be Ignored .   

                           I've traveled "OFF-COURSE" , I have digressed .   

                           HOW do we Purify our Heart(s) ???  {{{HOW do we >cleanse< our Soul ?}}} .

                           I SUSPECT that the Act of Loving IS the Agent required to "Do the Job" .  

                     

                           I  must return to the Reefer ~~~~ 

                                                 Tare Forward and Keep the Faith 

                          

Miss Guided

                                                           In Buddhism one of the "Four Great Vows" is "   However in exhaustible the passions, I Vow to extinguish them all . "  .    I'm no fan of the translation, but I want to note the word >extinguish<  .   We hear that passions become enflamed but I don't like that, it's awkward, I see it as >emotions< becoming enflamed to become Passions .  We say, "There is FIRE in his (or her) Heart", we even hear "There was FIRE in his/her EYES , probably result of a Heart afire, which travels to the Eyes and is manifested as Glare .    How do we "extinguish" that Fire --- ?   How do we "Still our beating Heart" ? .    I mean, we even LOVE Folks who are PASSIONATE , they possess a rigorous Intensity that ATTRACTS our own Heart .  That Passion is most surely that of Heart, as such, it is Heart generated .   

                           We say, "That guy thinks with his dick", to describe a 'knuckle dragger' who ogles a fetching Chick but his only words are, "She needs a good fuck" as if HE could provide such Quality to Orgasm .  Here it is where I argue that the Body has not one but TWO 'Brains' one of which is connected to Heart .   Make no mistake here, Evolution DEMANDS sexual congress, it is "Hard-Wired" into our Brains, and is therefore INSTINCTUAL .   Question is, are our Emotions Instinctual as well ???   I mean shit, how many times have we "Followed our Heart" to be savagely disappointed ?   Looks like the Heart Brain ain't so good .  WHO, in the Right-Fucking-Mind is-gonna Trust their own Heart ????   We say, "Trust your GUT FEELING", --->  How the fuck is THAT any better ?????  

                        

Miss Managed

                                                           I'm not "all here" this morning .   Earlier I found notes next to my stereo amplifier, nothing new there until I looked at the date =  August 4th >>>>>2024<<<<< .   I was both "shaken and stirred" .   What the fuck happened, how did I miss that shit FOR TWO YEARS ???   Old age sucks .   There were  topics I needed to e-x--p---a----n-----d , good topics and there they were, unused and for the most part UNKNOWN .   2 words, RIDICULOUS .   That was around 3:30 a.m.    I sat and sipped my coffee, unsettled, like, for sure .   I decided to clean-out and bleach the refrigerator, known by "Reefer" in the Moving Biz, it was time and I was motivated because executing "Clearing Actions" is one of the methods I use to get the "Clear Mind" I wrote of yesterday .   

                               I'm on a break rite now, obviously, but when I went to begin this mornings Consideration I cam up against a wall, I couldn't access the Thoughts I had yesterday .   Normally, they would have been written down when they arrived, but they were so strong, {or so I thought} that I didn't need to set them to paper .   Old age BLOWS and now I'm almost Stuck .

                              Since we examined "Clear Mind" yesterday a logical next would be to explore 'Pure Heart' and the ways, methods and agencies required to Purify one's Heart .   I mean "IT" this way, if Meditation results in a Clear Mind, and exercise results in a strong Body then, as I have just written, what can be used that will result in a Pure Heart (?)  the so-called  Heart of Gold ?  

"Easy Street"

                                                           I have a personal matter to attend to this morning so I will be as brief as I can .   It's Sunday so I'm headed over to "EASY Street" to hang out and snack all day .   We have had TREMENDOUS Success this week , and such Success should be appreciated if not celebrated .   We NEED these "small victories" --- they are Proof of our Efforts, and the Quality of Our Intentions .

                            I have yet to devise the "Planetarian Manifesto", even the use of the word >Manifesto< conjures a sense of Negativity -- the after-effect of "Communist Manifesto" --  but as far as Rhetoric 'goes' I find it Necessary to use it, because of its Definition --->  "A written statement declaring, publicly, the intentions, motives, or  views of the issuer ."  [Meriam-Webster] .   

                              These "items" arrived first thing this morning with regard to the 'Manifesto' :

                                                       Devotion to One's Self and the Attainment of Self-Knowledge

                                                       Devotion to PERPETUAL Self-Investigation

                                                       Devotion to the Planet and Its Civilization

                                                       Devotion to Society and Culture and their Advancement

                                                       Devotion to OUR Species and Its Health and Hygiene 

                                                        Devotion to the Universe and its Absolutes 

                           

                               That's all I have at the moment .   As I said, I'm headed out to "Easy Street" .

                                                           "Tare Forward" and  "Keep the Faith" 

"The Whole World Is Watching"

                                                I conclude with one of my fav quotes from Dr. Joseph Campbell .

                      "... we have not even to risk the adventure alone;  for the Heroes of all time have gone before us ;  the labyrinth is thoroughly known ;  we have only to follow the thread of the Hero Path ;   where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves ;  where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our existence ;   where  we  had thought to be alone, we shall be with the whole World ."

                            Take Heart my Fellow Planetarians,  Victory over Ugliness is our Fate, Karma and                                                                         Destiny .

                                                       "Tare Forward" and "Keep the Faith" .  

"Great Question" WHAT IS THIS ?

                                                           There are "Methods of Meditation" they follow "

                   Soto Zen =  Sitting in silent meditation  [Muk Jo  Perceive Silence]

                   Rinzai Zen = Illumination, Calming {looking into words}    [Kwan Hwa Perceive Kong-An]

                  

                    Chogye Zen = If you understand 'don't know' >just this< is enlightenment 

                                                                               [Shi Shim Ma  What is this ?  Perceive 'Don't know']

                  {{{  The Chogye Order is MY Order .  }}}

                                                                       Energy in Zen

         When walking, standing, sitting, lying down, speaking, being silent, moving, being still ;  at all times in all places without interruption, WHAT IS THIS ?   

         One Mind is infinite kalpas ."
