Thou Shalt Not Contradict Me

“Love your enemies for they can bring you enlightenment and entertainment.” David Jackson Why do you vilify those who contradict your space? Why not accept or consider what they say, think and do? You seem to focus not on who they are, but on what you think they should be, believe and support. Then you … Read more

Words, Writing, and Individual Thought

Once upon a time: Someone thought they should write down and record what they witnessed—rather than just what they were told. This opened the door to others who also said, “Yes, I saw that too.” Now, two people witness the same thing. Each time another, and then another witnessed and wrote it down. The awareness … Read more

*Open and Closed Conceptualizing

“The character and origins of conceptualizing and its path to rational evaluation.” Starting from no conception, no willingness to conceptualize, no ability to conceptualize, afraid to conceptualize, and having no imagination. Perhaps the reality of this collective incapacity creates a continuous path of cultural belief that is perpetuated when those who are beginning to think … Read more

Overpopulation’s Manifestation and Desperation

Something frightened me yesterday that remains alive in me. Several hundred retail stores have closed and are going out of business. This is symptomatic of the manifestations created by the recent creation of Amazon’s online email business process. It is the beginning of the end of retail business structures. It is a new paradigm of … Read more

Life, Wealth and Ethics Meaning

Thinking about asking some questions. Thinking about my website and cross referencing, linking items like Diderot’s encyclopedia. Questions: What is the difference between thinking and knowing? What is the difference between knowing and thinking? What is the difference between thinking and believing? If your favorite cat got its head stuck in an expensive and rare … Read more

Visions of It

The It, is! It is at the core of our responses and reactions. It is a rather simple thing at first glance, but It penetrates the whole issue of the character and identity of the self that It takes on, and constructs the reality It creates for Itself. “What do you perceive “It” to be? … Read more

Outside Reaching In, Inside Reaching Out

I am certainly feeling my separation from what I perceive to be the character and nature of humanity in general. It is something I carry around in my paradigm of being that is distant from the norm. It is, perhaps, that I am frequently reaching too far into what I sense to be the deeper … Read more

Beyond the Dream of Self

I think there exists something we humans cannot grasp and accept about the character of organic life, we’re not listening. The social order reflects this human confusion of what reality is, a denial of the dynamic package of organic life; it doesn’t need to consult or have any presence of concern about ‘Us’. It does … Read more

Senior Breakfast

“You want to talk about something serious?”, I asked. “No.” “That depends.” “Not with you.” I continued, “Well, first of all we are all refugees and generally mentally ill.” A Biologist, a Freudian therapist, a lady close to my own age that writes poetry, a 104 year old fossil lady, and two other elder ladies … Read more

A Union of Awareness

Denis Diderot, 1713-1784 This is a cosmic moment for me, the euphoria of meeting a consciousness like my own. I am uncertain about it because I have faithfully followed what I feel is my inner process of learning, consciousness and thinking, rather than the thoughts themselves. And yet, in recent years I have been creating … Read more
