Junk-ture*

                                                           Yesterday afternoon I charged myself with delivering the most rudimentary explanation of the "Middle Way" and its "Nobel 8 Fold Path" .   I wanted to juxtapose IT with the 10 Commandments to focus on the "DO NOT" of those Commandments with the "DO" of the 8 Fold Path .   On is Negative and Life NEGATING while the Other is Positive and Life AFFIRMING .   Obviously I never got to 'There' .   

                           Rite now I'm famished (I've been up since 2:30 or so a.m.) and my ribs hurt as they normally do after a few hours seated before this screen ~~~  I don't FEEL as if I can be effective, so I'm-gonna "cave" into that FEELING and suspend my activity at this unfinished Junk-ture* .

                           I will leave you in the Land of Bizarre .    I'm-gonna argue that "Money Is The Root of All Evil" can and SHOULD be supplanted by ;   "FEELINGS are the Root of ALL Evil" .

Status Woe

                                                           I am convinced that Civilization is once again at a Nadir ---that there is no place left to go except uP* .    The Question arises, HOW do we rise ?   

                               To REDuce "IT" to the Realm of Children's Literature, exactly HOW can the Music of the Pied Piper be neutralized (?) and HOW are the Villagers be made to understand the ramifications of bilking a 'service provider' out of his Due, the money he is OWED for "Services Rendered" ? 

                                To bring it to Modern Day Reality, How is Propaganda to be neutralized and How is the Population to be educated to detect Dys-Honesty ,  (The Refusal to Pay the Piper) ?  .

                                What was yet to be considered the "Status Quo" in pre-WWI Germany, the Status Quo in pre-WW II , and the pre-trump Status Quo, all FAILED to Recognize and Identify the HITLERIAN THREAT of trump ,  We MUST conclude that the Status Quo was DEVOID of Energies and Forces that could be utilized to exact Recognition and Identification .   Here it is where TRUTH  was systematically IGNORED, as was Reason and Logic .    Here it is where EMOTION superseded Science, in this instance, POLITICAL Science, and FEELINGS were hailed as "the only thing that mattered" .   Hitler didn't "FEEL Good" about losing the First World War .   Trump didn't "FEEL Good" about America and American Democracy because "IT" rejected him as a >WORTHY<  member of New York's "Old Money" .   2 words :  BIZARRE !!!!!

 

                               

Wore

                                                           WW II was touted as being, "The War to End ALL Wars" .   That is to say that WAR was never again to be used as a Substitute for DIPLOMACY ,  that Civilization had advance BEYOND THE USE OF VIOLENCE to address the Concerns of Nations .   However, the Concept that "War is the only answer" was NEVER >Extincted*< , that is, REMOVED from the Planet's Psyche .   "IT" has persisted in the exact same way that ALL our Instincts remain as INTEGRAL part of Our Planetary Consciousness .  In short, WAR defines Our Species .   WAR is 'who We are' .  VIOLENCE is what We do .

                               For a brief period following the Victory, Humankind asserted Utopia-like aplomb by forging the United Nations .  "It looked GREAT on paper" as they say, but when it was TESTED, it was learned that the U.N. had no MUSCLE .  EVERYONE relied on some sort of UNIVERSAL DESIRE FOR GOODNESS, the Thinking and Belief that ALL Nations would seek the Highest Order of Altruism to Govern themselves and The World .   "IT" never happened, because "IT" was NEVER THERE.   Nations HUNGERED for Power , and this HUNGER produced GLOBAL ATROCITY , which the U.N. could not throttle .   BAD 'men' ascended to Power bringing with them  War ravaged and exhausted Citizens who had NOTHING LEFT with which to Fight those that knew ONLY WAR .   

                             Good, Honest and Decent Folks wanted to believe ALL WAR had Ended, that because Germany, Italy and Japan had been Defeated, so too WAR .      

                             

                                

Return of the Pied Piper

                                                           I have argued that "We" were "sent" trump because the WORLD did NOT "deal with" hitler, and Nazi-ism in such a way as to 'provide' for a Civilization that would and COULD manage the baser Instincts of the Human Species .   I hazard that We are familiar with the Sage/Prophet Words of George Santayana who admonished, "Those who cannot remember the Past are condemned to repeat it ." .   I likened trump to the "Pied Piper" who, when told he would NOT receive payment for "Services Rendered" played his pipe with such wondrous allure that the Village children could not resist, and then led them inside of a mountain, ever to return .   Trump was "like that", his words were as MUSIC to the ears of Americans who, at the time, had NO >Voice<, and when they heard trump, found a HOME within his World View .   

                              I have laid Blame upon the "System" that produced these Folks, those who did NOT "...remember the Past..." .  I argued that it was Necessary to 'produce' Individuals who could detect falsities, be properly aligned with Truth, and seek to PREVENT Negativity, in the form of Worship of the Past, so as to PREVENT said Negativity from reaching into a Correct Path, the one of Universal Fellowship, the one where Political Well Being was the Goal of Present Day Government, and DESTROYING the Foundation upon which Democracy generated RIGHTEOUS Power .   

Kali

                                                           Pundits have described Harp as having "Daddy Issues" .   'Daddy Issues' is sometimes Code for "The Oedipus Complex" the one where Oedipus killed his father and then married his mother, which is somehow Genetic, in that this Complex is said to reside in EVERYONE'S Psyche .   2 words :   maybe .   "IT" may be beyond Earthly generation ===  we actually don't know if Harp killed her mother AND her grandmother to be by trump's side as consort and concubine .   I want to believe that such an arrangement is unlikely .   If not THAT then WHAT ?

                             I offer >>> Kali<<< the Hindu Goddess of Time, Death and Destruction .   Know this about me ;  I don't WORSHIP Kali, but as a Zen Buddhist I FULLY >Appreciate< Her 'Role' as Death Dealer.   Here it is that without Death there can be no NEW Life .   

                             Harp MAY BE a Manifestation of Kali, sent to Earth and to the MOST POWERFUL MAN ON EARTH as an Agent of Time, where Time is Code for Evolution .    Kali's JOB { I must use JOB despite its pedestrian origin}  is to Destroy and Kill, and here it is where Harp is EFFECTING the Will of Kali, somewhat BRILLIANTLY, because Harp is NOT considered to be even   REMOTELY Powerful and IS considered somewhat HARMLESS by the uninitiated .   She's the OPPOSITE . 

                             Make to mistake here Kali's JOB is to KILL trump and the OPPRESSION he and his have inflicted not just on Americans but the WORLD-ians .   With the Death and Destruction of THIS, Our present World Order, We can Evolve to the NEW [NU]  World Order where it is PEACE that reigns .

                                                           "IT" 's been observed and reported that Harp "brings out" the "WORST" of trump .   When I heard That my first Thought was of al-Assad, and HIS wife .  Recall that al-Assad used CHLORINE BOMBS against HIS OWN CHILDREN and Citizens .   I mean, "WHERE WAS HIS WIFE???" ---> was she devoid of ALL  >>>Maternal Instinct<<< ????    We were forced to conclude that "SHE WAS JUST LIKE HIM" , the Evidence is irrefutable .   Is Harp "just like trump" ?   Some say, "Fuck yeah, BUT EVEN WORSE" .   

                             She is said to be responsible for his posts, even his "Foreign Policy"  'tweets' on his Truth Social platform .   In EFFECT, ---> SHE <---  is "running the country" .   

                             She's also been described as trump's  "Security Blanket" and, oddly, his "binkie" .  "IT" shouldn't be considered 'odd', because a 'binkie' is a  "Pacifier", which is PERFECT since trump gets so fucking agitated sometimes he has a tantrum that results in the bombing INNOCENT Iranian Civilians .   Is she DIRECTLY responsible for mitigating trump's rage to the extent that he foregoes Death and Destruction ?   A binkie sooths .  I mean, "IT" 's possible .   What is also possible is that she GOADS him to be Merciless and Cruel .   The toady that's goady* .   

                            I have devised the word >> PSYCHO-PHANT << to better scribe her personal Psychology .   To me, she's a Psycho [path] = [who] "may lie pathologically, manipulate social situations and justify harmful actions without guilt or shame" .  Plus, she's fucking OBSESSED, which ALL of Us know as being MONSTROUSLY UNHEALTHY .   Some believe she's SICK, count ME among THEM .

Miss Stress

                                                            We've "blown past" "So Fucking What" and have entered the MORAL Territory of SCANDAL .   I confess, I DIDN'T consider Harp's ---> Presence to be a THREAT of ANY sort, until I heard from "Senior X Intelligence Officials" who were DEEPLY CONCERNED because she "had the ear of the  most powerful man on the planet" and just her Presence was an "Influencing Factor" with regard to trump, what he said, what he posted, what he DID .   Now THAT got my ATTENTION .   

                             JFK "had" Marilyn Monroe, Clinton, as we have just noted, "had" Monica as his (get this)  "Head" "Mistress" so it's not peculiar that trump also has a Mistress .   There IS the Age Disparity, she's 35 he's a fucking MILLION ,  and the visual for their "sexual congress" is  stomach-turning and SICKENING but THAT , my Gentle Readers, is LIFE .   Old Powerful Men are sought after by younger women because of the old men's plentiful Resources, and a marriage to one such GUARANTEES the Protection of her offspring for a lifetime .    Isn't trump worth over 3 BILLION ?                    

                            We gotta figure "She's in it to WIN "IT" .

                             BUT IS THAT ALL  ???????

                            

Trump plays the Harp

                                                           A single woman has come into the Attention of American News Media, so much so that she was featured as "THE" "Story" of the day .   Her name is Natalie Harp and she is presently trump's >>>Aide<<< .   

                            She is the DEFINITION of  "Sycophant" :  "a SERVILE self-seeking flatterer :   one who praises others in order to gain their approval " .    Thing is, her Presence is scaring the fucking SHIT out of just reg'lar and NORMAL sycophants, those who surround trump as his "Inner Circle" and THAT has caused GREAT CONCERN among them .   

                             This morning when I first settled into "Chairy-Chair" I had nothing on my Mind save to wait for a "First Sentence" to arrive .  After only a few minutes I "got" a headache which worsened because of my allergies .   I probed my head and >Harp< was THERE as if SHE was to be this morning's topic .   

                             When Bill Clinton was getting blow jobs from Monica Lewinsky, I actually defended him by telling everyone who would listen that we didn't elect Bill to be our fucking Priest .   We elected him to RUN THE COUNTRY and sexual encounters with a YOUNG Maiden was to be considered NONE OF OUR FUCKING BUSINESS .   Guys are DOGS, you know it, WE ALL KNOW IT .  BUT, Natalie Harp is something DIFFERENT .   

                             We're gonna 'look' at her this morning .

Peace of Shit

                                                           One of my old favorite NASCAR Drivers, one Ryan Blaney was trying to access "Pit Road" when he lost control and SLAMMED into the water barrels protecting the Pits and the explosion  sent GEYSERS  into the air in SPECTACULAR display .   When asked about "IT" he resigned, "I just ran out of Talent" .   I liked Ryan because he was an MIT Graduate and an Engineer .   I mean he didn't run out of ABILITY just >>>Talent<<< .   I'm there with him rite now, I DON'T know how to "spin" the blogs I have just written to end with something POSITIVE .  

                          I know this :  Karma will come at you and KEEP COMING unless and until "IT" 's Message is received and Change results .   So it is with Evolution .   The HEART BREAKING, MIND BENDING and SOUL SHREADING Truth is that Civilization hasn't yet Evolved ENOUGH to Capture and PUNISH the elitists who BELIEVE that they need  NOT  Obey the Laws of Civilization and Human-Kind .   "IT" 's  more than EGREGIOUS because "IT" is a HUMAN ABOMINATION .   The elites KNEW BETTER,  they KNEW that what they were doing was AGAINST ALL  LAW not just that of Civilization ---BUT THEY DID IT ANYWAY   !!!!!!!   

                         The WAR will End but there can be no REAL Peace until these ANIMALS are captured and put either in Insane  Asylums or PRISONS !!!!!   I'm opting for PRISONS WITH NO CHANCE OF PAROLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                           Presently, I am in the process of trying to convince myself that it is the "Instinct of Self-Preservation" that is responsible for the HEINOUS Hedonism, characterized as Sexual Gratification REGARDLESS OF COST, that has manifested in epstein's not-so-secret `society` .   I mean "IT" this way :   Evolution and her Hand-Maidens Mother Earth and  Mother Nature had to GUARANTEE Human Presence, and this Guarantee saw both the "Orgasm" and "Clitoral Migration" as a means to >assert< Human Reproduction .    IN the DEEPEST DARKEST Recesses of the Human Mind there is a UNIVERSAL  "Prime Directive" =  IMPREGNATE EVERY FEMALE IN YOUR CONTACT SPHERE .    Evolution  has rewarded this [Mechanism] with the Orgasm .   Except for  the Mythological "Beavis and Butthead" MOST of Us are  INTIMATELY FAMILIAR  with "The Score" and "IT" 's  GARGANTUAN Benefits .   

                               You can predict the Problem .   The Instinct of Self-Preservation is capable of fucking ANYTHING and Sodom and Gomorrah are evidence of the Prime Directive going HORRIBLY RWONG*.   

                                We KNOW that 'sodomy' and gomorrah-mee* were NOT extinct-ed .  Both survived .    We can even conclude that during these MODERN times, both have FLOURISHED .    Consider what "Live and let live" has propagated =  Tolerance for the Obscene and dare I say EVIL .    

Sodom

                                                           Ya-gotta figure that the SIN was SOOO GREAT that only a WORLD WAR could have the WEIGHT and DENSITY to COVER  the Human ATROCITIES generated by the SAVAGE Hedonism of the FILTHY RICH .   

                                Some Scholars insist that the "Great Flood" was the CLEANSING AGENT used because Humankind was >>contaminated<< .  This "Cleansing" was not to be the Last, nope, Hello Sodom and Gomorrah , a location where sick humans had decided that fucking ANIMALS was part of God's Plan, that, "It it feels good DO IT" was all that was needed to justify HORRIFIC actions, and still be free of ANY Consequence .   

                                 In EARLIER Times, we KNOW that Early Homo Sapiens "did" all they could to propagate their Species, when "Nature Called" they 'answered' with VIOLENT Rapacity .   We KNOW that during the Middle Ages, young girls in their early teens were considered "Marriageable" despite the publicly know FACT that young girls had a significant threat to their own lives, and many DIED from attempting child-birth .   It was UGLY then --------------still is .

                              Trump and his have used WAR to deflect and re-position Public Scrutiny of those named in the epstein files .   WAR as PROTECTION !!!!!!!!    TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE just to prevent the Release of the 'Files' is a something that CAN'T be Imagined by a NORMAL Civilization .   And yet "Here we are" .

                                                           I have been  reluctant  to comment on THE WORLD'S "Epstein Files" .   Theories abound concerning the Epstein Files and THE WORLD'S "reluctance" to liberate them from the hedonistic clutches of the "FILTHY RICH" and the squalor wealthy .   Among the  most "popular" {where 'popular' is a poor choice of word} , the theory that not only does america have the complete files, but the United Kingdom, what was once the Soviet Union, China, Iran, and of course, Israel .   Conjecture asserts that although trump had been "toying" with the idea to LIBERATE Iranians from the HORRIFIC Oppression OF THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT, it was netanyahu who persuaded trump that the Invasion of Iran was not only Inevitable, but that SUCCESS would {somehow} be GUARANTEED since Israel would join american Forces as powerful ally .

                               When the WAR ends, netanyahu will be subject to CRIMINAL CONVICTION as well as WAR CRIMINALITY, the near [HITLERIAN]  EXTINCTION of Gazans, the REFUSAL to allow Humanitarian Aid to Gaza, and the direct STERILIZATION of 'Palestinian' farm lands and orchards . 

                                So "IT" is with trump .   Once his WAR ends he will face prescriptive Punitive Measures of the HIGHEST ORDER .   

                                 Here's the WORST :   netanyahu extorted trump to begin the War and PERHAPS held the Release of the epstein files, as THREAT should trump refuse .   

                                As Joseph Heller and Kurt Vonnegut would agree, "Those must be SOME files".

                                                            We know : "To err is Human but to Forgive is DIVINE " .   Is THIS the foundation built on the Story of Cain and Abel and God's Forgiveness ?   2 words :   maybe .   But how are Humans to Understand this Forgiveness, when the God of the 10 Commandments issued "THOU SHALL NOT KILL" ?????    Murdering one's brother is NOT some simple "err"--- "IT" IS a fucking HEINOUS ATROCITY AND AN AFFRONT TO GOD HIMSELF .   Are we, as Humans, to Forgive trump and in so doing take it upon OURSELVES to find the pathway to Peace and open Hormuz in the process ?   Will Other Nations forgive trump ?   How many Nations openly Forgave hitler, pol pot, putin, al-asaad and the Monster OTHERS ?    We must resign ;  God can do WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS, I mean, THAT, "By Definition" ---but WHERE does THAT leave us ???????  

                              Exactly what KIND of Peace are we looking at ?    Israel has NO PLANS to accept ANY of trump's attempts to mollify Iran in the hopes that Iran will relinquish Control of Hormuz .   If the World wants Peace and netanyahu sez* "FUCK YOU" --- what then ?   Is the World then to declare WAR on Israel ????   Is the World to Forgive netanyahu for HIS Genocidal Criminality in Gaza ?  

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" ??????

                           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'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 .

                               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 ."

                                  

Skyglass

                                                           The example of the glass filled with soil is NOT enough .   Zen Master Seung Sahn used the image of a Clear Sky to example Mind .   He Taught, "The Mind is like a clear sky, thoughts are like clouds that appear and disappear .   If we attach, [hold on to] these clouds the sky becomes UNCLEAR , but if we simply let them go, the sky again is "Empty", free of clouds, free of thoughts . "    This Teaching gets deeper .   Zen Master Seung Sahn adds profundity ;   "Life is like a cloud that appears, Death is like a cloud that Disappears".   I LOVE that and have taken it as MY "Understanding of Life" as "IT" relates to both Birth and Death .   "IT" may seem shallow but the Buddha felt it UN-NECESSARY to get to the Source of all Life .   The Buddha said: "A dying man does NOT have to know the origin of the medicine that will save his life, he simply must consume it ."   2 words :   PERFECT .

Shower Power

                                                            Modern Zen Masters are fond of using a glass of water to which common soil has been added and the glass shaken to produce an opaque murky liquid .   Once the glass is set down the soil begins to settle, and after a brief period CLEAR water, with the sediments at the bottom, is the Result .  Meditation acts like that .   The Mind is quieted, the thoughts are stilled and Clarity is achieved {attained} .   The Problem is, that the clear water is temporary, and if the glass is disturbed the Clarity is lost .  I mean, that's Life . 

                              I have not yet been able to devise a definition of "Planetarian-ism", but I'm certain a Core Tenet MUST be, the Practice of Meditation .   Planetarians Meditate, and do so to HEAL, Rest, and Quiet the Mind, to allow things to Settle, in order to  produce the Clarity needed to address issues and solve problems .   

                             Elsewhere I have defined Meditation as Hygiene, in the same way that we shower at the close of every workday so we can wash off the dirt, and SHIT of daily contamination, so it is with Meditation .   We don't THINK about taking a shower, we just DO IT .   Meditation is no different .  I MUST add, Meditation is the WAY of the Ancients .   Meditation and Its Benefits have been PROVEN and has withstood "The Test Of Time" .   

Miss Aligned

                                                          I have been accused of being an "Ancestor Worshiper" because of my extensive use of the works of Ancient Authors .   I wear that Accusation as a "Badge of Honor" .   The word 'worship' is, in my view, too strong .   I admit that I DO use the Ancients to give Richness and Texture to my words, I DO use them as reinforcement, I DO Use them to strengthen my own Arguments, Contentions, and Challenges , and I do so because the words of an aging Sword'sMan may  not be enough to find acceptance among Modern Readers .   Even the greatest of the Ancient Sages spoke of THEIR Ancients with Veneration,  I VENERATE the Ancient Sages, and have modelled my Life around THEIR Understanding(s) of Life .   Theirs is a PURE Reality, uncomplicated by modern-day sensory bombardment .   Even one of the Greatest Sages, Lao Tzu, spoke of "The Clear Mind(s) of the Ancients" .   When the Late Great Zen Master Seung Sahn spoke of achieving {attaining} a "Clear Mind, which is Clear like space" I BELIEVED I had "found a home" in Modern Day Zen .   

                             A "Clear Mind" is needed to address issues and solve problems .   A muddled Mind is fucking useless in such critical endeavors :  we often hear, "Things are so fucked up, I can't think straight".    The Condition of "fucked-up" is one of Chaos, and even {perhaps} Confusion .   Our Minds are similar to a cyclone or tornado, where thoughts swirl around at such a TREMENDOUS velocity that they cannot be 'grasped' by the Waking Consciousness, and instead of being grasped, their velocity causes a 'sickening' that causes a paralysis, both of Mind and Body =  We don't know what to do,    so we do nothing .    We grudgingly admit, "Things are out of control" but sub Consciously, we add, so I CAN'T do anything .   We've all "Been There and Done That" , we must conclude that "IT" is part of Human Nature and Species Behavior .

                        "Thunder rolls, and the wind blows ; both are examples of extreme mobility and so are seemingly very opposite of Duration, but the laws governing their appearance and subsidence, their coming and going,,  endure .   In the same way the independence of the superior man is not based on  rigidity and immobility of character .   He always keeps abreast of the time and changes with it .  What endures is the unwavering directive, the inner law of his being, which determines all his actions ."

                                                                           The Judgement

                                   "Duration is a state whose movement is not worn down by hindrances .   It is not a state of rest, for mere standstill is regression .  Duration is rather the self-contained and therefore self-renewing movement of an organized, firmly integrated whole, taking place with the immutable laws and beginning anew at every ending .   The end is reached by an inward movement, by inhalation, systole, contraction, and this movement turns into a new beginning, in which the movement is directed outward, in exhalation, diastole, expansion .

                                     "Heavenly  bodies exemplify Duration .   They move in their fixed orbits, and because of this their light-giving power endures .   The seasons of the year follow a fixed law of change and transformation, hence can produce effects that endure .  

                                      "So likewise the dedicated man embodies an enduring meaning in his way of life, and thereby the world is formed .  In that which gives things their Duration, we can come to understand the nature of all beings in heaven and on earth ."

"Play It As It Lays" ---Joan Didion

                                                            How are we to find Beauty in the most heinous and hideous ?   E-Z  ya' -gotta believe it there to being with, and now here's one made Famous by Robert Pirsig [Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance]  --->   "Believing is Seeing" --  counter-intuitive for sure, but there it is, ready or not, like it or don't .

                              One of THE most Difficult Concepts to teach is 'Life IS what it IS' .   It's the same with WAR, Beauty, and Ugliness .   To just BE means to accept things and events as they are without judgement nor bias .   What complicates 'BE-Ness' as well as 'Is-Ness' is ---> Discrimination, where Discrimination 'hides behind" Discernment .  The Mind >Discerns< and that Discernment begets all kinds of both Intellectual and Emotional TROUBLE .  

                               The Late Zen Master, Seung Sahn Soen Sa taught ,   "Moment to moment everything is already correct,  moment to moment everything is already ---> PERFECT .   If we view Perfection as Beauty, we have means to accept things AS THEY ARE , as already BEING  Beautiful .

"Rub-a-dub-dub"

                                                           Shakespeare has given us, "To be or not to be"...  perhaps the GREATEST of all soliloquy(s) .   I have struggled with "IT" to the point of self-inflicted madness that manifested as the NECESSITY to MEMORIZE the whole fucking thing, so I could transport it to my Sub and UN-Conscious where it could be assimilated to eventually surface with UNDERSTANDING .   I mean-shit- it ain't like I'm-gonna walk up to a Someone and ask, "Should I BE or should I NOT BE ?"   What does "IT" even MEAN ?????   To BE >what< ...to BE >who< ???  

                          It's madness alright, Should I BE myself ?  Should I NOT BE myself ???   WTF ???!!!

                          At various points I've been asked by my male Students, "How can I score with chicks ? "  I have tortured them with, Whatever you do DON'T "Be Yourself" .   I mean  IT'S FUNNY rite ?  

                          After the snide laughter subsided I always added ---->  JUST BE !!!    THAT my friends is the Essence of Zen ===  to just BE  .   To just BE  "Aye, there's the rub."

"I was beside myself."

                                                           That Word ---> Majesty, is-gonna give us a fucking WORLD-of-HURT ... know what we're-gonna do ?   We're-gonna (get this) "Leave it  >be<" .   Instead, we're-gonna focus on ---> "Being" which is far more Promising .

                              The E-Z-way-out is to translate Being to  make it Life ; and for sure, Majesty of Life, does satisfy our intent to gain Understanding, plus it reads well AND "It makes Sense" .   But is "IT" Enough ?????   

                               ALL of Most-of-Us, at one time or another, have heard this complaint from our Close and sometimes Intimate Others, "I just want to be ME".   It is as if the ME is a SOMEONE ELSE, a Someone Else who can't manage unpleasant Conditions, who has, somehow, gained Control over one's Mind and Body and NOT for Good Purposes ;  and there is the correlation to the DESIRE to actually BE who you REALLY are, because the Real Me is surely capable of correctly managing ANY Situation or Condition with a guaranteed superlative result .   It is somewhat commonplace to hear, "I was beside myself" .   It's like WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED ???   You were ONE person now there's TWO ????   What manner of fucking SORCERY was "at play" Here ???   Could it possibly BE that one of Me was MAJESTIC and the other ME was NOT ?????     THAT'S the Problem with Majesty of Life == Majesty of ME,  it just don't fucking "work" .   

Miss Poke

                                                          I can hear my Gentle Readers screaming ,  WHERE IS THE MAJESTY OF BEING WHEN INNOCENT SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN are MERCILESSLY SLAUGHTERED BY AMERICANS AND THEIR BOMBS ?????    And again, WHAT ABOUT SANDY--HOOK ???    It's Brutal ----- I know and it is EXCRUCIATING .

                           "IT" doesn't get any better when we look for 'Majesty of Being' in trump .   Majestic ?????   NO FUCKING WAY .    

                            In Hermann Hesse's Brilliant Masterpiece, NARCISSUS AND GOLDMUND there is a punishing scene where Goldmund finds the Love-of-His-Life dead, a victim of the Black Plague .   He stares incredulously -- his SORROW Untold .   But then his Mind "breaks" .  He begins to see the colors on the corpse, the patterns of decomposing skin and its texture, he sees rainbows ...  He has the thought, "How BEAUTIFUL..."    A rotting decaying Corpse, seen as >Splendor< .   I mean, I had to put the Book down to gather myself, to collect my thoughts ~~~~~~  I've seen corpses, "made-up" of course, they don't look so good, let alone Beautiful .   But can you see it ???   Dr. Campbell's Majesty of Being" manifested in a sickeningly hideous corpse .   To actually BELIEVE that there is Beauty in Death, on the surface it ain't Human, but COSMICALLY it is INFINITE --- and we can conclude that it requires something of SUPER-HUMAN Effort to see such Beauty .   

                            From the backseat of the family sedan restless children cry-out   "ARE WE THERE YET?"    Close ... 

Solve-ation

                                                           Yesterday when I pulled away from my machine I didn't feel good .   Completing my Effort with a quote from Shakespeare I THOUGHT would be sufficient closing .   I was rwong* .    While eating b-fast I remembered a better quote and it was from Dr. Joseph Campbell .  Here it is : 

                                                     "The Problem of the Hero going to meet the Father is to open his Soul beyond terror to such a degree that he will be ripe to understand how the sickening and insane tragedies of this vast and ruthless cosmos are completely validated in 'Majesty of Being' .  The Hero transcends life with its peculiar blind-spot and for a moment rises to glimpse the Source . "

                                  The Ability to "open one's Soul" --- what does that even MEAN ?    And Further, what, exactly, is "The Majesty of Being" ??    MANY years have elapsed since I began studying Dr. Campbell's Work, shit I would NEVER even DARE to question has arrived .   I can preach that, as Planetarians, we MUST be able to "Open OUR Souls" but exactly HOW the fuck DO WE DO that ?   And, as far as "Majesty of Being" goes is there some Definition to aid Us in our Efforts to bring each one of US >>TOGETHER<< that we may Experience "Shared Commonalities" and Tread on "Common Ground" ?   How are we to Solve the Problem of the Hero ???????

Shakespeare

                                                           I submit what follows for Your Consideration :

                                    "... but when the blast of WAR blows  in our ears,   /    Then imitate the action of a Tiger :  /   Stiffen the sinews , summon up the blood,  /   Disguise fair nature with hard-favored rage:  /   Then lend the eye a terrible aspect :  /  ------------   Now set  the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, hold hard the breath and bend up every Spirit to its full height !"   

                                    ...and to Shakespeare's I add,  "Harden thy Heart" .

                                                              "Tare Forward: and "Keep the Faith" .

Miss Hit

                                                            I draw the Attention of my Fellow Planetarians, Global Citizens and of course my Gentle Readers to the word "hardened".   It's military definition is precise, to incrEASE defensive fortifications to Protect existing armaments .    I need to add that 'hardened' must also include OFFENSIVE Capability .    We have heard, "The BEST Defense is a GOOD Offense, not only is "IT" the same in American Football, in ALL Pro and amateur Sports, and even Sword'sMan-ship employs  Defensive techniques as an Offensive Weapons, meaning, "The Defense IS the Attack".   "IT" is both Subtle and BRUTAL at the exact same time . 

                              HOW are to manage the GROTESQUE Realities of War (?)  which begs for the Question, How are we to manage the GROTESQUE Realities of LIFE ?    

                              OBVIOUSLY we must >Endure< but what exactly is the Nature of this Endurance ?   I contend that this Endurance rests on our Ability to "Harden OUR Hearts", since it is OUR Hearts that FEEL the Pain of Suffering .   "IT" is IMPOSSIBLE   NOT to Feel deep and Profound Sadness when we are exposed to INHUMAN CRUELTY --- We Wail   HOW CAN THIS BE ???   But we MUST Avoid succumbing to this CRUELTY--- to do so PREVENTS >>>>ACTION<<<< .   We find ourselves WALLOWING in the shit and mud of SORROW, indeed, we hear "DROWN ourselves in Sorrow" .   Hardening OUR Heart is to PROTECT it by steadfastly AFFIRMING OUR Resilience, meaning, that we MUST TRY to Understand that the Divine Infinite will NOT impose upon Us a Suffering that cannot be Endured, because the Divine Infinite is LIFE AFFIRMING, and to KILL one of It's Own is fucking IMPOSSIBLE .   I hear You  WHAT ABOUT WAR ???  Isn't the Divine Infinite RESPONSIBLE  FOR THE DEATHS OF MILLIONS ?????   I say NO, it is HUMAN-KIND that is Responsible .   

Miss Trust

                                                           We speak of 'Human Abomination' but there is yet Another just as Savage, just as Brutal, just as heinously CRUEL, His name is robert f. kennedy junior .   Not only is he a Human Abomination he is a walking-talking DEFILEMENT .  That he has the same surname as JOHN F. Kennedy is a Physical and SPIRITUAL --->  AFFRONT to most Americans knowledgeable of JFK's CONRIBUTIONS to American Society, Culture and Global Civilization "writ large" .  Americans  ADORED JFK  despite his extra-marital Affair with Marilyn Monroe .  We ain't all Saints .

                              Kennedy treats Americans in the same fashion as trump, but his Medical Agenda is to KILL-OFF infants, children and old folks so that their DEATHS Free trump's society from the COST of keeping them alive and healthy .    Fewer of THEM is MORE for trump and his .   We've seem this same, when trump ENDED >> U.S.A.I.D<< . which has resulted in a "Forecast" that images MILLIONS of Deaths over a five to 10 year Period .    I mean KNOWINGLY starving Peoples to DEATH ....  KNOWINGLY preventing Peoples from Vaccinations that can avert Dearth, that can PROTECT the  most VALUABLE COMMODITY that can Exist --->  Human CHILDREN .  HOW CAN WE LIVE WITH THAT ??   One word :   WE CAN'T .   

Abomination

                                                           "IT" appears that the Deception involved NOT informing the Press Corps that they were being USED as decoys as was the aging AF-1  Jet Air-Liner .   On the Surface this seems as STANDARD "Trade Craft" which is code for SPY SHIT .   Thing is, rather than find a far more suitable Deception which did NOT involve the Press Corps the Secret Service >TRUMP'S SECRET SERVICE< had NO QUALMS WHATSOEVER in Potentially SACRIFICING the lives of Press Corps .   They were deemed DISPOSABLE, potentially just more "Casualties of War"   ~~~~    NEVER to be considered WORTHY of Government Protection .   To trump and his government they were NOTHING but pieces in a fucking GAME .   Ya just CAN'T "Make this shit up" .

                             "IT" AIN'T as if we need any more Evidence that trump is BARELY Human, he's almost single-handedly taken food "OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES";  KILLED AMERICAN CITIZENS  IN COLD FUCKING BLOOD on the hallowed Streets of what was once America,  and unilaterally DESTROYED American Credibility on the World Stage .   He is LITERALLY an ABOMINATION of Human-Kind and as such an ATROCITY to OUR Species .

                              He's not a man                  he's a MONSTER .

Turkiye

                                                            Iran has "Won" the War for Hormuz .   Pundits, Brains and even SUPER-BRAINS are in agreement =  trump LOST .   The supposed GREATEST MILITARY FORCE IN THE HISTORYOF THE WORLD ---> has been Defeated .   Iran CONTROLS Hormuz and is in the process of Controlling "Bab al Mandab" the strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden [Off the coasts of Yemen, Oman, and a piece of the U.A.E .   Ain't nothin' good here .

                                  "IT" isn't just that Iran Controls Hormuz ,  "IT" 's what Iran has done to trump, by threatening him with Assassination .   We have all become aware of the "Incident" in Turkiye [correct spelling] , the one where the Threat against trump was so INTENSE the U.S. Secret Service deemed it NECESSARY to "secret" trump off Air Force One, the "Hardened" Jet Air-Liner used as Official "Flying-Fortress" .   The New York Times "broke" the story of trump's COWARDICE and "IT" was broadcast over multiple news outlets during the course of yesterday's transmissions .  Initially, I had no interest to examine the details of the Deception, that is until we were made aware that the News-Folks were NOT informed of the subterfuge taking place as they boarded, found their seats and "settled in" .  By the time all were seated trump had "Left the building" as they say is Show-biz .  

                                "IT" ain't just trump's Cowardice, we've know about that for years ~~~  "IT" is  SOOOO much MORE .

Peace and Power

                                                          I've determined the need for a particular 'posture of greeting' to take the place of my standard Buddhist half-bow, the one with the hand mudra that resembles the together hands of a Prayerist*.   I will "Steal From The Best" and use the Ancient Kung Fu Bow as THE representative Greeting of Planetarians to all fellow Earthlings .   The Kung Fu Bow, with one hand a fist and the other an open {Empty} palm together in one position, symbolizes Peace, the open palm ---and POWER, the clenched fist,,, which is to be followed by a double Peace Sign, both arms extended toward the ground with the "V" in both hands to represent Peace and the POWER OF LOVE .  As I informed my Sword Moms during one class where they wanted to "wimp out",  "This is a MACHO Outfit  WE DON'T COMPLAIN OR BITCH ABOUT ANY ASPECT OF TRAINING."   Their Sons snickered in perverse Delight, their Moms getting GENTLY reprimanded by a Superior Other .   [[[Sword Moms   I LOVE that]]] .

                          Planetarians will come to be known as EARTH LOVERS to the Extent that they will CHAMPION a semi-Divine Stewardship that has "Enlightened Effort" as its Manifestation .   

                        

                           Time to mow the grass

Planetary Political Pragmatism

                                                           I am hard-pressed not to fully recognize that religious ZEALOTS are the source of "Israel CANNOT Exist" and "DEATH TO AMERICA" .   I want to examine this THIS this morning {{{as best I can}}} .

                             Scholars EVERWHERE are in agreement that some "men" will use Religion as a WEAPON for Political Gain .   These "men" insist that DEATH is the ONLY solution for the problem of national and global governance, meaning, [that] if the Peoples of a Country REJECT the >God Ordained< Rule of the  Invading Country,  then the entire Country should be "Lain Waste", meaning  totally  destroyed .    Our Civilization has endured the Crusades, Religious 'men' who, because of their War Mentality, actually Justify the SLAUGHTER of Innocents with "In The Name Of God" .    We need not be a Nietzcherian* to disgust ,  "What kind of fucked up GOD sanctions the wholesale SLAUGHTER of INNOCENTS ?"   Joseph Heller would moan, "That's some God" .

                           I have yet to devise a "Mission Statement" for "Planetarians", but I DO have a skeleton   upon which I can affix the 'flesh' of Principles .    Above all else We, as Planetarians, MUST be focused on OUR Species, to the extent that we MUST 'Keep in Mind' ALL the Flaws, Defects and Shortcomings that OUR Species has manifested over countless Ages .   In the same way that each of us has a genetic code, so it is with our Species, I mean, the Logic is irrefutable .   Here it is that OUR Species is capable of astonishing BEAUTY and HIDEOUS UGLINESS .   Here it is where Civilization MUST bend its WILL toward a Utopia, but in the Common Sense and PRAGMATIC "Way" .   Here it is where Planetarians will be  considered   PRAGMATISTS  >>>FIRST<<<   and  as  such  I  offer this :  Planetary  Political  Pragmatism .   

Abraham-berg

                                                           The appellation "Holy Lands" when applied to the Middle East is sickeningly grotesque .   Years and years ago I likened Jerusalem and the surrounding territories to the "Red Spot" on Jupiter aptly described as "A storm wider than Earth that has churned for centuries" .   Clearly "IT" is the same for Jerusalem and what has become modern Israel .   Both have been War-Torn even BEFORE Jesus set foot on Jerusalem Soil .    

                             It is fucking BIZARRE that Judaism, Islam and Christianity recognize ABRAHAM as THE >>Patriarch<<, indeed, the Abraham Accords are the direct result of THAT "Acknowledgement" .   You'd figure and even want to Believe that given this Acknowledgment all Three could find "Common Ground" politically simply BECAUSE they have this GIGANTIC "Shared Commonality".  Technically, THEY HAVE THE SAME FATHER, and THAT should BOND them in the Sanctity and UNITY of Holiness .

                          Nope....not even close .

Is Real

                                                           We must assume that the War for Hormuz will eventually end,,  that there will be a Victor,, and that Oil will Flow to the Planet's Oil Thirsty nations .   At some point, "SOMETHING HAS GOTTA GIVE .   I have described the present Condition  as a "Mexican Stand-off", a romantic version of "Stale-Mate" .   I used "Mexican Stand-off" because of the immanent threat of  War Violence, but now, as the War Violence escalates, "Stand-off" is useless .   Israel is set to begin their own Campaign against Iran and Iranian Forces under Cover of American Military Intelligence and Technologies those of 'Air-borne Radar and Spy Satellites .   OBVIOUISLY Netanyahu and his are  NOT 'satisfied' with trump's first priority = the opening of Hormuz to global transit traffic --- Netanyahu and Israel's "Far Right" are demanding nothing less than the COMPLETE DESTRUCTION of the IRGC, who is viewed as THE Cause of the Hamas  "Pearl Harbor-like" Invasion of Israel .   Even in the U.S. there are those Far Right Imbeciles  who want THAT >Exact Same< = TOTAL and COMPLETE ANNHILATION OF IRANIAN Forces those that DEMAND the TOTAL AND COMPLETE ANNIHILATION OF ISRAEL.

                         When the IRGC gained Ascendancy all that could be heard was "Israel can NOT Exist" as well as the ever-popular "DEATH TO AMERICA" .   

                          I mean shit, what comes after "WHAT THE FUCK" ?????      

Sirens

                                                            News pundits are claiming that "When Reality hits them, they will 'come around' and "see the Light" .   I, mean on the surface this sounds OK, but DON'T BELIEVE that particular "IT" , and I will argue that the bond between trump and his "kin" is a fucking BLOOD Bond .   Like it or don't, trump is a "Father Figure" and so enjoys a "Blood Bond" that CANNOT Reject ANY of what trump says and does .  "He's BLOOD" .   What he says and what he does GOES .

                              "IT" 's as if Reality is an actual living-breathing Entity, with something of SUPERNATURAL POWERS, Powers that supply Intellectual and PHYSICAL Powers to Influence, Persuade and Convert .    It looks and sounds Seductive but here I'm gonna be Odysseus, I'm gonna listen to the Wails of the Sirens and NOT be run onto the reef to be mauled and killed .  

                              I'm NOT gonna Argue that Reality has NO Power, I'm gonna Argue that Reality is like GRAVITY, at some point you can't resist, at some point you GOTTA become REAL .  Here it is where the TRUTH OF GRAVITY is fucking IRREFUTABLE and Reality is the Same .   Reality  IS   >Truth< .

                              With Political Evolution as Foundation, I Argue that Socialist Democracy will become REALITY .   I DON'T have {good} Faith in the americans who voted for trump, but I have GREAT Faith in the Planet's Civilization .   I TRUST my Fellow Planetarians {{{who Believe as I do}}} .

                              

"3 time's the C-HARM"

                                                            You wanna Believe that folks are politically Savvy enough to vote for their BEST "Interests" instead of voting for Human ATROCITY .   You wanna Believe that Folks WANT to vote for "The Good", meaning, that which benefits ALL of Us .  It's a terrible mis-read .   I have acquaintances who voted for trump BECAUSE HE PUT MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS, not only did they benefit from REDuced taxation, they benefitted GREATLY.   That THAT is all they wanted from trump. a fucking KWIK* gain .   They told me 'point blank', THEY IGNORED EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT TRUMP  .   They never figured him to be the fucking MONSTER he has PROVEN  to be .   No one even BOTHERED to vet trump with ANY Degree of Penetration .   He was SOOOO FUCKING BAD no one could or would Believe someone so fucking ODIOUS could be elected, I mean shit, exactly how STUPID could Americans BE to elect a CRIMINAL and do so TWICE ??   

                                For me "IT" got worse .  Two of my Dentists voted for trump because of the tax break and their revulsion to he ACA's  DEMAND for patient Data which they argued hit their BOTTOM LINE .  Even my Primary Care Physician voted for trump    WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENDED TO "DO NO HARM"  ???  Out the fucking window like a can of piss .  

Miss Read

                                                            The Question can be raised, "Is the American Electorate SMART ENOUGH to vote for Socialism LEANING Democrats ?    The Question itself displays a grinding feature of Bias which looks like this :   You gotta be SMART to vote for Socialism ---  fucking horseshit of course .    The Electorate of Brazil voted for Socialism, as did that of Venezuela .   Perhaps >Smart< is a poor choice of Word.   Maybe Politically SAVVY has a better "ring", since Politically AWARE is something of a cliche .   The SQ rats are where the republicans were during mitt romney's Campaign, i.e., they will do anything SAY Anything in order to get elected .   When Folks complain that BOTH 'parties' are corrupted and therefore UNWORTHY of even the slightest consideration of electability, ya jus' GOTTA Believe them .   Still    one 'party' MUST get elected and run the gov .   THERE ARE HUGE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS one of the most URGENT Questions is, Will Folks vote for those that started a WAR{Actions that are causing SUFFERING] or for those that want PEACE {Principled Opposition to War and ALL its Contagions} ?

                               

"Ain't Wastin' Time No More"

                                                           I've blown past {well beyond} >frustration< and am currently experiencing an EXASPERATION that is the precursor to Despair, and we KNOW that Despair will lead us to Cynicism and all ITS Complications .   

                              The Democratic Party of the Untied* States is caught in the Chaotic Dynamic that recognizes the "Old School", those Status Quo Loving ANCIENTS who abjectly REFUSE to Accept the Truth of Socialist Democrats,  those who harbinger a Future that is an ENHANCEMENT of Democracy NOT its DOWNFALL .   The SQ Rats [Status Quo DemocRATS] are claiming that Socialist Democrats will never get Elected because MainStream* and MainRiver* Citizens are OPPOSED to Socialism, despite not Knowing one fucking thing ABOUT Socialism, and if they DO, Venezuela is held as prominent Paradigm, and even Brazil is registered among FAILED Socialistic Governments .  I don't fucking like it .  

                             America's Democrat "Party" can't seem to "get its shit together", which is a polite way of saying, "THEY ARE TOTALLY FUCKED-UP" .   But this THIS ain't "The All of Everything".  Below the surface of the American Psyche runs a current of Fear .   For the SQ rats, they Fear a Future in which THEY have NO "Say", which is a polite way of saying, THEY DON'T WANT TO RELINQUISH ANY of the POWER they currently 'hold' .   The Ancients BELIEVE that their Status Quo is SUPERIOR to any Government that has the Concepts of Socialism as its Foundation .   

                           Here's the "nutcracker" :   The so-called STATUS QUO elected trump !!!

Nothing is here .

                                                           We often hear avid Relaxers self-indulge {from the Transitive Verd , To Self-Indulge = "I'm jus'-gonna sit around the house and do nothing .   Now I've written elsewhere HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU DO >>>NOTHING<<< Isn't "Doing" an ACTION requiring  MOVEMENT ???   Isn't Nothing NOTHING ????   

                                 There's a vicious Thing about >Nothing< .  Come to Learn that Nothing is EVERYTHING .   What follows is the eleventh Poem of the TAO TE CHING "  :  I am not going to transpose it as a Poem however =

                                             "Thirty spokes share one hub .   Adapt the nothing therein to the purpose in hand and you will have the use of the cart .   Knead clay in order to make a vessel .   Adapt the nothing therein to the purpose in hand, and you will have the the use of the vessel .   Cut out doors and windows in order to make a room .  Adapt the nothing therein to the purpose in hand, and you will have the use of the room .      Thus what we gain is SOMETHING, yet it is by virtue of NOTHING that this can be put to use."

                               So it is that we MUST "See"  that  >Nothing< is EXTREMELY Powerful .

"Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo"

                                                           In the "Remote Past" of some 2 or three years ago (maybe more) (maybe less) I use-to treat Sundays as FUN-Days and write humorous stuff pursuant to the Laws of Jokes and Giggles .   According to the now ANCIENT "Readers Digest" it is LAUGHTER that is the "Best Medicine" and I Whole-Heartedly Agree .   Thing is, we are AT WAR and feral Silliness SEEMS Inappropriate, considering the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen stationed in and around the Hormuz War Theater .   Other >thing< ???   "IT" isn't .  Laughter HEALS --- in this "IT" is like a  Sorrow-laden Weeping,  both are Cathartic, Cleansing, RELIEF Resulting .   

                              These days, all I can manage is to AVOID Writing about the War and ANY other 'Social Commentary' on any given Sunday BUT Not Writing ANYTHING is too much for me .  So it is I had plans to write about this most recent `Rock Project`.  Question is, WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT AN OLD MAN'S `ROCK {MOVING} ROCK PROJECT ????   I mean shit, can you blame someone for NOT GIVING A SHIT ????   Ahhh but there are SECRETS and it is these SECRETS that   >DEMAND<  Intelligent Scrutiny .  

Seychelles

                                                            I had the precious 'first sentence' in my possession yesterday late morning when the rock I was positioning settled into place atop its foundation mini-boulder---it was a one word sentence, "Success" .   I sat in my cushioned  Adirondack  to fully appreciate what I had accomplished .  While sitting it 'arrived' that the whole 'piece' was an Art Form, {remember, my middle name is ART} and as such, actually deserved a title .   The upper piece I was positioning resembles an open book, and that suited me just fine .   I have as little book of Native American Stories, stories told by Elders to their grand children , and the title of THAT book is THE STORY TELLING STONE .   I'd seen this particular rock years ago and knew it would be valuable during a Future, "Someday",   but during the passage of those years "IT" arrived that the rook, NOT a "dressed" stone, had the appearance of Wings .  So now here's the title =   "Unformed Hog, with Wings of Stone" .    

                               Japanese Master Landscapers and Designers consider boulders to be (get this) CLOUDS ,   I LOVE that but my Rocks Piece carried even more delicious-ality* to Scope and Measure, because I BELIEVE that as molten masses the soon-to-be-boulders were able to ABSORB the various Creative Vibrations that intense Heart and Pressure was certain to generate.  Each boulder at THAT point is a BRAIN, and as such actually HAS a 'Story' not only of its own creation but that of Others as well .  So now I can 'tell' two Stories,  The Story of the Unformed Hog, and the Story of Stories found within the "pages" of the Story Telling Stone .  

Planetarian Apocalypse Now

                                                           I have an outdoor project that I think I can bring to conclusion this morning .   I Believe in myself enough, to think and solve potential problems that arise, and I have the tools and Ability to execute the Plan .

                               From Yesterday know this :   "Fear is the Body's Wisdom that it is weak, Bravery is the Body's Wisdom that it is strong ."   This is the Teaching of the Ancient Shao-Lin, the Kung Fu Masters of Olde .    Boxing Champion Bobby Chacon gave us this :"You gotta do what you gotta do, and you gotta TRAIN for what you gotta do".   I LOVE that .

                             Psychologists and Psychiatrists agree that Fear will DOMINATE our Lives unless and until we "Confront our Fears" "Head On",,, "Face to Face" .  ALL of Us KNOW --->  "Easier SAID, then Done".  "Ain't nothin' E-Z" .

                             Introspection is a form of Self-Examination, we "look inside" to determine the "Why" of things, the Source of our Fears, and this Self-Examination DEMANDS >Confrontation< .   Few of Us are capable of True  >>Penetration<<, indeed, we spend ZILLIONS on "Self-Help" Books and some of us have spent QUANTITIES of Monies to enter Therapy and consult Specialists .   I, too, have needed the Therapist on three different Locations along my personal "Time Line", and each time I have benefitted GREATLY (((not to mention the KUHZILLION HOURS I devoted to AA Meetings which proved to be ESSENTIAL to my Recovery and the Growth and Development that resulted ))) .

                          In the days ahead We will "Look inside" as best we can and what is befitting our Circumstances , so that we can "get on the same page" as Planetarians .

                          That's it for now .   I will see you all on the "Flip Side" .

Evo-solution

                                                           This morning's Effort has been unexpected .  Slavery was not the Topic of Consideration , but rather  Inhuman Treatment .   I sought to Praise all Countries whose "Founding Fathers" were NOT "Slave Owners" and as a result their governments were to be viewed as FREE from Slavery and all its hideous and Heinous  Ugliness .   Safe to say that Slavery is NOT "The root of all governmental EVIL" but perhaps it IS "Safe to say" that INHUMAN TREATMENT remains RAMPANT all over the Planet  ---  Humans treating other Humans as ANIMALS  is HUMAN Atrocity .

                             In America Immigrants are being "hunted down" as WILD ANIMALS .  In Iran, Citizens are being SLAUGHTERED as ANIMALS .   

                             "IT" must end.

                              "IT" WILL End, but only if we WANT "IT" to End .

                                                               "Tare Forward" and "Keep the Faith"
