Local Is Cosmic

Another psychic work day. I watched for the second time PBS’ NOVA: “Green Earth” and also “The Milky Way” and the Hubble telescope. It brought a means of measure and relative movement of this galaxy. I don’t know where to start.  I think of creating a word like starlone as a natural word image for … Read more

Completing the Circle of Meaning

Where am I? Feeling like I’m at the edge of life and death, while also looking at democratic governing that is incomplete, distorted and lost. Its path leads back to animal base/primal reaction, as the pieces fail to connect to what is needed in managing integrated behavior, goodwill to all that lives on planet Earth. … Read more

Hereditary Patterns of the Human Character

  I’m figuring out that my psyche doesn’t want to live in the world of earth life.

I continue to be appalled by the behavior and primitive mentality, brutality, cruelty, and murderous insensitivity of the Afghan-war- lord-tribal-religion-based social structure—especially their hostility towards anyone not like themselves. Thinking about this without visualizing their murderous images is difficult. In particular, I struggle with the dehumanization and disenfranchisement of women and girls—based upon the (supposed) … Read more

Untie The Future From The Past

The living thing is getting difficult in body and soul. I’m discouraged by yet another episode of the Israeli /Palestinian conflict. How long will this unceasing display of hate and rage, that leads to the murderous contamination of rational hope of living in peace, continue? There are no rules—applied to the “other”—but to slaughter and … Read more

The Life Cycle of the Black Hole

I was taken by the documentary on PBS’ presentation of Nova: The Black Hole. What I see is beyond thinking or perceiving. It is the limit of human knowing for one, and perhaps the limit of understanding as well. One has to be a respectable skeptic because the concept itself will swallow you up. I … Read more
