The Human Decision

Humans have the capacity to change. Humans have the capability to gain knowledge, to use intuitive judgment based upon True Principle (different from contrived principle), and to live according to this Principle in a real way that benefits all. This is Wisdom...

The problem is that while humans can tap-in to knowledge and intuition, they can also make a decision to understand, to be compassionate, to participate in productive progression, to live Rightly . . . or not to. Tapping-in to intuition does not automatically imply tapping-in to positivity; this is a grave misconception. Doing so can also mean exposing oneself to negative intent. Further, being inherently inclined to this destructive intent is as real and common as being right-handed as opposed to being left-handed. It is natural; but, if there is too much destruction, we all suffer and perish. Likewise, if there is not enough destruction, then we grow beyond our natural capacity, and we perish.

There must be balance.

Another crucial element that makes the most significant difference in this logistic is alignment. If we align our principles to the principles of the subjective, artificial world of Man, then we base our entire system of Truth upon a system of fundamental Beliefs. Interpretations of Truth are not Truth. Therefore, our principles become beliefs rather than Truth, and beliefs foster self-serving attachments, as well as a grand system of destruction. This is clearly seen in the paradigm of modern societies that are not living in a mutualism with the Natural world.

Not understanding Truth and Reality is the common mindset, because those things have been nurtured out of us—or at least wholly suppressed—in our modern cultures of technology, attachments, false ideas of progress, greed, power, luxury, commodity, and irreverence. But if one is willing and wanting to explore Truth and Reality in earnest, then that person has made the choice to exercise his or her capacity to gain Wisdom through change, thus, contributing to the welfare of all.

If, however, one chooses either not to understand or to live in denial while perpetuating the destructive memes, the contrived needs, the dependency, and the addictions of modern society, then this person is inherently inclined to destruction. Now there becomes a need for resolution. To remain indifferent or to ignore this is to participate in the perpetuation of the disease, as well: to do nothing is to enable the cancer.

It is a fact, like it or not, that America and several other countries were literally established and built upon terrorism. Even if we were not directly involved in these events, we are not without accountability. Supporting the end is to tacitly condone and justify the means.

If you buy fur coats, leather seats, steaks, gelatin, or any vegetables under the justification that you didn’t actually kill anything, you are ignorantly still condoning and justifying the farming and murder of animals and plants on a massive scale in which life is treated as a commodity. This is the same with any system or method that treats life as a commodity. You don’t have to participate in the heart of the process to support the process. You don’t even have to participate in the process at all to support it. Everything is tied together economically in our modern industrial systems of destruction, of Taking. Simply participating in economics means to support the overall system that literally parasitizes the planet like a cancer and treats life as a commodity.

You literally support the terrorism, genocide, slavery, rape, torture, extortion, exploitation, and deceit that started this and other countries. You literally become a resource, contributor, or even cheerleader for the gang-style tactics that are implemented today to keep the terrorist-derived system rolling smoothly. You become a terrorist by association and participation, even if you didn’t burn infants in their villages.

You have an option. This is your gift of free-will. You can choose. Even if your free-will is restricted to a limited amount of choices offered by the Universe, it’s still free-will, and nit-picking it is absurd and relatively useless. The point is that you have every opportunity to choose to align with Truth and Reality, or to choose not to, keeping in mind that choosing nothing is still choosing something, as all of your actions still affect the Whole. Understand that there will be consequences that accompany your decision; some will endorse you, and some will defy you. Your spiritual integrity is really the element that is at stake.

Truth Does Not Come From Within: It Flows Throughout

The problem is that most humans have been nurtured away from seeing it. Further, "would-be" spiritualists convince folks that it is "mystical" and that it means forsaking part of the self--especially the physical self--in order to reach "enlightenment," which typically turns out to be less enlightenment and more denial.

But it's all very simple, actually. Let's get your inherent compass to point to True North.

You must breathe to survive. (Some creatures don’t need oxygen, such as anaerobic bacteria which respire with Glycolysis, but all living organisms respire.) This is Truth.

You may believe that breathing is annoying or fun. You may believe that you are lucky it is involuntary. You may understand the processes of metabolic reactions in your body are stunning. But these are interpretations of the fact that you must breathe. They do not have any bearing upon that Truth.

You need food in order to live. All living beings need to eat food. This is Truth.

You may look into the nutrient contents of foods, learn the cell structures and how they work in our bodies. You may create a diet based upon what you believe you need from certain foods. You may assign a monetary value to foods. But these are interpretations of Truth, not Truth.

You may not like the taste of some foods. You may like some foods warm and some foods cold. You may like to smell some foods cooking, while others make you ill. But these are interpretations of food, and have nothing to do with the Truth that you need to eat food to survive.


You must drink water to survive. All life on this planet began with water. This is Truth.

Like the foods, you may break-down the mineral or nutrient contents of your water. You may draw pictures of the molecular structure of water. You may mix powdered drinks into your water. But these are interpretations. They do not have anything to do with the fundamental Truth that you must drink water to survive.

All systems on Earth are connected, and their balance and integrity need to be maintained in order for all of us to survive. This is Truth.

No matter how much we feel that we can take what we want or what we believe we need at the expense of other beings and ecosystems, our impacts affect all beings and ecosystems. But these systems have taken billions of years to develop, and they are intertwined. If we treat them as commodities, we sign our death-certificates.

So you must have certain factors met in order to survive. This is Truth. You cannot defy Truth, or you will cease to exist in this physical form.

There are Truths of existence throughout Nature. The process of Nature is progression of evolution, growth, change. It is about continuance of life. If the default action of Nature were self-destruction, then it would never have existed. Life persists. Nature creates cycles and processes of evolution and adaptation specifically in order to maintain an equilibrium of change and life. This is called Unconditional Love. It is the default programming of all of Nature.

Within this programming is destruction. This is fact, and it is necessary. But it is not the dominant process, only part of the whole. This applies to the physical world and the spirit world, both of which are manifestations of energy.

Since all beings on Earth are made of Earth, depend upon all of the plants, the waters, the animals, etc, as parts of a whole system that is literally the manifestation of the unconditional love, the perpetuation of life established by Nature, then that means that our basic needs for survival depend upon the maintaining the integrity of these pre-determined processes. What is good for all things is good for us. This should work both ways. This is Principle. It applies to the physical and the spiritual.

But Man has taken to interpreting this Truth. Man has decided to move away from the integrity of these cycles and seek to make existence more luxurious at the expense of other life and the cycles. Man has decided to lose spiritual integrity and allow logic and knowledge run his existence within an alignment of selfishness.

Now the world that Man has created is based upon beliefs, but not Truth. It is the natural result of the natural processes that occur when we ignore our natural roles and defy natural laws. We have become perfectly unnatural by natural law because we have attempted to defy natural law.

We have moved away from grasping Truth. We no longer live Truth. We even define our modern interpretations of Awareness, Oneness, Enlightenment, and Spirituality by the artificial parameters that Man has created. We are attempting to program ourselves to be spiritual, but we’re missing the Reality of spirit. Instead of immersing ourselves in Truth and establishing our inherent connection to the Whole, we have formed spiritual concepts and beliefs that make us think that disconnecting ourselves from our Whole beings is spiritual.

This is not Truth. It is true, but it is not Truth.

In order to understand Reality and our True selves, we must first understand how to distinguish Reality from Belief. This can only be accomplished by utilizing a “carpenter’s level” of Indisputable Truth. By “indisputable,” that means it must apply to all beings, all life. This Truth is the Reality of Nature. Nobody can argue this without invalidating their very existence. If we are foolish enough to believe that nothing really matters, or that nothing really exists unless we perceive it, or that our impacts are irrelevant because we are here to extort our physical existence, then we contradict ourselves and our logic immediately, and this is at the expense of the welfare of all other life. This is Mego at its most selfish.

The Reality is that we cannot separate our physical welfare from our spiritual. It is not possible to favor one without the other suffering, which, in turn, affects the favored one anyway. Your spirit is not more important than your body. And your body is not more important than your spirit. They are equally significant. They are gifts of Truth, and they must be treasured and maintained in the healthiest way possible in order for each to grow and function with vitality and integrity. This is Truth. This is Reality.

In this light, we see that our health in both physical and spiritual form comes from the health of Nature. It is from the foods and waters we ingest, as well as the air we breathe. Thus, our taking care of Nature is paramount in taking care of ourselves.

The Natural corollary to this is that when we take care of Nature, our spirits also blossom. In order to take care of Nature, we must immerse ourselves within the processes and become part of them again. We must give up the beliefs of our perceived needs, our desires for materialism, for power, for luxury, and we must not treat life as a commodity. Our immersion into Nature means that we give up the smaller self, the Mego, because we must let ourselves go in order to live. In the Natural world, to live from the place of the self is certain death.

This immersion into Reality, this giving-up of self is the becoming of a Caretaker. It means accepting our inherent role or Original Instructions that we programmed into us from Nature, not programmed through the nurtured interpretations of Man. This immersion reveals our True Selves, our true place and purpose. When we give ourselves to Nature, we find our True Selves because it is only there that we can establish the connection to that which created and sustains us.

You do not know your True Self until you can break all dependency upon what is interpretation rather than Truth.

Money is not Truth. Plastic is not Truth. Electronics are not Truth. Anything that is made or practiced by Man and has a detrimental affect upon the Natural world in its creation, usage, or disposal, is not Truth. They are perceived needs, and they foster beliefs and attachments. Imagine if these things were abandoned.

You cannot know your True self unless you live fully in the Natural world. This is Truth.

The "Faces" of Judgment

Aratama: Control of the Spirit


Judgment is crucial when properly aligned with universal law or principle. This is True or Right Judgment.
Judgment is shown in economy of action and in the wisdom based upon properly aligned principle. A person of Right Judgment is a person of sensibility, possessing courage and wisdom of morality...

Right Judgment is not the shallow judgment of exclusivity, which represents intolerance, bias, subjectivity, and lack of compassion and understanding. Right Judgment is not the shallow judgment that foments destructive anger, which inhibits introspection, thus attaching us to the ego of another through the ego of self. This attachment further inhibits our ability to empty the bias and distractions of the mind, which restrict our freedom and prevent our movements from presenting as pure and responsive. Shallow judgment does not allow us to emulate the harmony of Nature, but instead causes us to be reflective of the initially applied aggression, or to be the source of the disconnect and disharmony that elicit conflict.

Coupled with the principle of Beauty in Living, (Nigitama), it is the expression of consideration for all other beings under the principle of universal law: the welfare of all life (Total Prosperity based upon Universal Truth). This is presented as a “parental” role of compassion, but not displayed as the mere, superficial “kindness” that is often administered in society as a forced “front,” to mask deeper issues of pain; as a “show,” to appear confident and inspirational to others; or as the opposite face of underlying disdain. Often this “opposite face” is characteristic of “superficial acceptance,” or “Tolerant Intolerance,” that is rampant in our society when standing in judgment of others based upon the smaller self and misalignment of principle. We regularly “disapprove” of judgment as a matter of etiquette, but this does not imply that we have abandoned shallow judgment altogether. Our unwritten meme is to: “Love others face-to-face, but despise them in the sanctity of home.”

True compassion, courage, and judgment reveal Truth in existence. The essence of proper judgment and courage is that of reform and revolution, a constant evolution of personal refinement which is extended through Beauty of Living to all of society, thus the beauty of life is identified and preserved through the productive change of Total Prosperity.

People seem to misinterpret a candid presentation of Truth for shallow judgment, particularly if it exposes something within themselves that they do not wish to see or embrace at the moment. Further, this revelation of Reality exposes a responsibility for accountability that many would prefer to ignore. Exercising Right Judgment, however, for the welfare of all of us, particularly if the actions of others are directly affecting the rest of us in a destructive manner, is different from excluding anyone based upon personal preference, bias, or belief. Shallow judgment lacks understanding; Right Judgment embraces understanding and the welfare of all life, and through Love and Courage reveals Right Living by the Principle of Universal Truth.

Triad Chart

Just as food nourishes the physical body, Information nourishes the Mind. Love/Harmony nourishes the Spirit. Our modern society has done wonders for seeking information, and we have turned foods into artful endeavors and scientific disciplines, as well. We seem, however, to have lost hold of the concept that in balancing the nourishment of Body, Mind, and Spirit in order to be a Wise person of Love, Peace, and Justice, it is crucial to be of the most organic and pure alignment of consciousness. Further, neglecting essential elements required for a well-rounded and healthy existence is inherently self-defeating. This societal trend—this pandemic of our species—needs to stop if we truly wish to attain global, holistic Peace.

Just as eating foods that are not chemically treated, preserved, irradiated, enhanced, or over-bred into unnatural forms is best for your body, it is also important to “ingest” the purest and most organic forms of Information and Unconditional Love. These, in Nature, are manifestations of Truth. It is by and within this very Principle of Truth that we find the most balanced and nutritious diets for the Triad, thus enabling us to integrate each aspect of ourselves as a system of checks-and-balances.

Our personal faith (faith in oneself) and Will are the driving forces of seeking personal refinement, but it is only against the “carpenter’s level” of the Natural world that we can find the pure and true form of Principle that applies to all beings of Nature, and that will allow us to reach the pinnacle of Enlightenment and Right Living, thus, facilitating holistic Peace.

Aligned to the Manmade world of subjective ideas, values, rules, fears, and morals, however, the Principle of personal refinement is diluted and artificial, at best: a subjective interpretation of Truth, but not Truth itself. Much of the Spiritual aspect in our lives becomes suppressed, if not entirely lost or ignored, by following this paradigm, and the Mental aspect is touted as the highest aspiration. Peak physical genetics, strength, and flexibility take a runner-up position in priority, as the Mind is the commodity most prized for the “technical and ethical advancement of a virtuous and productive society.”

Clearly this is not a viable prospect for our species, or for any other on this planet. Because of our deficiencies in the aspects of Spirit and our lack of alignment to True Principle, we have become a literal cancer upon this planet, killing thousands of our sibling species per year while parasitizing our Earth, poisoning and denuding the environment, and blanketing the lands with tumorous cities and asphalt roads.

Food is the ruling element of life and death. All living beings must eat, and we are directly sustained by food, then, when we die, we become food for food. Organic food creates healthy tissue, productive energy, and promotes excellent health, function, and vitality. We are only as healthy and real as the food we eat, and when it is tampered-with and tainted in so many ways, including synthesis, chemical injection, massive and cruel slaughter, and harvesting with no reverence, then we also pay a price beyond the financial cost.

Information can also come in many forms, whether it is the junk-food form of comic books, tabloids, or sitcoms or the more “grocery store” forms of book-store collections and public libraries. The most organic form of information comes as the Truth of information gleaned from experience of the world that created us, simple interaction with and observations of the cycles and laws of Nature as every day living. But we have slowly let our sense of Wonder of the amazing elements and mysteries of Nature become overshadowed by our Curiosity of figuring out how it all works, and why, and then how we can exploit it.

Our inherent Awareness, derived of a proper synergy of our physical senses that form our extended, Spiritual perceptions, has been snuffed in favor of our Comprehension of technical concepts and the language of Science that is Spiritually detached from the Natural world. Our extension of Awareness of our inherent Physical, Mental, and Spiritual connections is considered to be a deterrent to our growing Inspiration of technical luxury and convenience. Now our Spirits are thirsty for the Communion with all other beings, yet our brains have allowed us to nurture Intellect out of balance. We have glorified muscular growth and physical flexibility and fitness, along with Intellect and Reason, through physical Work and Logic, but Communion, Equanimity, and Intuition are falling by the ancient wayside as we perpetuate blind faith in believing that our alignment of Principle to that of the manufactured world is Truth and Justice.

Our instincts, our basic needs that drive us, are being neglected Spiritually, and only met in a superficial way Mentally and Physically, thus, we are evolving against an artificial existence of contrived Principle that does not work globally for all life. Compassion, instead of being applied to all life on this planet, has been leashed to only the human species and a handful of “non-advanced” species that are endangered, threatened, or dear to humans as pets or commodities, such as livestock, puppies, and honey-bees. But it is not a true Compassion, but rather an idealistic favoritism, and our Spiritual Integrity is in a serious state of jeopardy. This contorted concept of “saving ourselves in spite of the repercussions to all others,” is indicative of a severe deficiency and misalignment of a large portion of the Spiritual column in the attached chart.

Now we give superficial and shallow meanings to the concepts of Love, Awareness, Conscience, Principle, Compassion, Justice, and we convince ourselves that we are truly following these guidelines, living virtuous lives, yet we all feel the Wonder that has turned into longing for our Spiritual deprivations. Thus, we have idolized the Mind, creating diversions and distractions, false glories of Intellectual Achievement at the expense of our True purpose and place in the Real world. And when we fall short of these romanticized ideals, we then numb our feelings of failure, misery, stress, worthlessness, and hopelessness with drugs, alcohol, depravity, and other addictions, including smoking, shopping, eating, and indulging in mindless hobbies or activities that in no way contribute to personal refinement of the Triad.

True Peace, Wisdom, and Unconditional Love can only be achieved holistically, for the welfare of ALL species and natural systems. This can only be accomplished through alignment with the Principle of Truth, which is the Natural World.

Some Truth about Truth: Part 1

According to the logic of many so-called “spiritually aware” and religious folks out there, being connected to Spirit is something accomplished by having an understanding of God, of Divine Will, that we possess Divinity within us, or that we are becoming more spiritually aware as a species supposedly progressive in understanding quantum mechanics, transcendental theory, worldwide belief systems, and the fact that we are all bound by an eternal and infinite energy.

What this implies then, is that our intelligence, our sentience, is the catalyst or the bridge between our Earthly existence and God. It implies that as we learn more about how the Universe seems to function on a scientific level, and as we learn more about religious doctrine—what of them “works” and what of them doesn’t—that we grow, tacitly, in spirituality. We are taught about interpretations of Love, of Compassion, and of the teachings of significant spiritual “leaders” of the past. We are inundated with information of the New Age spirituality, the “Discovery of Self,” and how we all have an opportunity to shine the brilliant light of divinity from within us, as long as we believe in the faith being, passed-down or presented in the best-selling book for $34.95. We love to be told “how to do” in our very hectic, time-is-money, instant-gratification world, rather than being taught “how to learn.”

The further implication here is that spiritual awareness and connection demands sentience. Our society insists that spirit can be found in being well-read of a broad spectrum of interpretations, philosophies, and ideas of what Spirituality, Love, Self, Compassion, Truth, and Oneness are. We seek the doctrine of aged religions, steeped in mythology, to guide our very disconnected souls in a fabricated world. We thrive on assigning parental figureheads authority to give us guidance and restrictions so that we feel as if we are adhering to Divine Will, when what we are really doing is catering to fear, guilt, spiritual void, and subjective ethics that define what we are taught to believe is justice. We are the two-year-olds that run ahead of our parents, seeking a sort of independence, but continue to stop to look back over our shoulders to make sure they are still following closely, safely. We are taught to adhere to human codes of morality, all based upon the evolution of ourselves and our cultures against fabricated worlds that defy Natural laws.

The corollary to this is that without understanding, without sentience, we cannot attain spiritual awareness. (It also implies quite incorrectly that spirituality can be enhanced through technology, which is created via the demons of fear and contrived necessity.) Thus, flowers, trees, fish, bobcats, cardinals, and mosquitoes cannot be spiritually connected to God. If they cannot understand, how can they possibly be spiritually connected? Our perceptions of spirituality come from a strictly humanized standpoint, rather than from a holistic, connected standpoint (which is no standpoint at all, but rather a neutral center of Unconditional Love. See how this works?) Our interpretations of Love are shallow and mostly selfish, even when we believe they are selfless. Our ideas of progress violate Nature by creating a net-deficit, as do our ideas of the value of life, compassion, and justice. We claim to value life, but we only demonstrate that we love some HUMAN life under some circumstances. Otherwise, we create imbalance in the world that is created by God by infringing upon and eliminating ecosystems, entire species, and treating other flora and fauna as commodities. We don’t value life so much as we value what life we can Take and use. Our world is rampant with conditional love, which breeds segregation and hatred. Our conditional truths breed contempt and delusions.

Truth is not personal. That concept is garbage. Truth is not what we decide works for us or fits in our lives. That’s selfish, and anti-spiritual. We selfishly and arrogantly see ourselves as little fountains of Divine Will, sanctioned by God because we say we believe in Love and Truth, as if we are separate but become enlightened and imbued with the power of the Divine upon an epiphany or because we have adopted a belief system that seems to fit our perceptions of Reality at the moment. We actually say things like, “What’s true for me is,” and, “I have to live my own kind of Truth.” That kind of “truth” is ephemeral. As long as we see ourselves as SELVES, then we function not unlike the perpetual water fountain that re-circulates the same water via electrical pump. We re-circulate a concept of Truth or Love or “special gift” and offer others to drink from our pool of “Divine Energy,” albeit, a gift we’ve been bestowed by God. But this is not Real.

We are more like the spray attachment installed at the end of a garden hose. The garden hose is our thread to Reality. The water is Spirit. All we do is let it flow through us. That’s it. Some settings might be “spray,” while others might be “stream” or “trickle,” but everyone is a spray-attachment for spirit. If your attachment is gummed-up with the mud and gunk of religions and faiths, then you are not going to have a pure flow—if any flow at all—through you from the source. This does not take sentience. This takes Original Instructions. Forget the books and the prophecies and the scriptures. It’s useless, I promise. Truth is not relative to each of us. It’s not about how we perceive it and how it fits into our lives, but on the contrary, it is about how we see the purity of it, unclouded by bias, judgment, and teachings, and how we fit into it.continued

Some Truth about Truth: Part II

A flower does not go off from Nature and try to find its place and purpose through texts and self-discovery courses. Neither does a deer, nor a mouse, nor a beetle. These are all manifestations of God, direct embodiments of the Great Spirit, our brothers and sisters, literally. They are already playing out their Original Instructions. They are already in the Now, enlightened by not even knowing what enlightenment is. They are One with the Whole. How can we be so stupid and selfish to not see this? Why are we so obsessed with outthinking Reality? Learn from them, those who are already there, those who are clearly superior in their ability to connect with God, directly, to just BE.
Spiritual awareness and connection is not in church, nor in books. It is not in the lectures put out by televangelists, nor is it residing in a Pope’s station.

Truth is about how we go out to Reality, the very same Reality that works FOR ALL BEINGS—and that is the most important part; it has to work for all beings, all species. Truth does not judge, but it selects through Unconditional Love. Truth has no net-deficit, no restrictions save for the dynamic of Reality. What you put into Truth, you receive, but there is no personal gain, no ulterior motive. There is no reward of Heaven, no punishment of Hell awaiting us. These are the concepts we create moment-to-moment and always. What we do affects all other things, and our ripples will elicit ripples to return to us from others. If we put out Unconditional Love, we are more likely to elicit Unconditional Love, and if we put out anger, fear, destruction, then we are more likely to see that rebound. Karma is not ulterior motive, grudge, or vengeance. Karma is Truth of action elicits reaction. If I plant a seed with love and care, then it will grow and yield fruit. This is Love, Truth, and Karma. It is Now.
The misconception that runs rampant in our societies is that Truth is relative, or that we have to discover our own Truth. But that is backward. It’s not Truth that is relative to us, but it is how we uncover the same, Universal Truth that is the Truth for all of us. It is how we go out and immerse ourselves INTO Truth, into Nature. We have to go out and experience Reality and adapt ourselves TO IT, and not try to adapt it to ourselves. That is Truth.

If you do not go out into Nature, into God’s very creation, and adapt yourself to it with no artificial creations of Man (which are NOT God’s creations, folks; that ludicrous mindset I have already thoroughly disproved as being valid), but only your naked body and what God supplies directly as an unadulterated, un-perverted, un-blasphemed manifestation of Itself, then you have no grasp of the Reality of Spirit. If you cannot prove Reality, then you are still caught up in Self, which automatically means you are not Awake. You cannot claim Spirituality or Oneness if it is selfish. You do not possess any Divine Power or Will because you as a Self do not exist in Reality. You are not above the animals and trees, and the majority of what you do in your life is driven by fear and desire. If you truly want to “know” God and yourself, then you must submit yourself fully to God by going out to where God exists, which is Nature. God may exist in your heart and mind, and that’s all nice and romantic, but it’s useless if you don’t truly know what that means. If you do not make the commitment, then it is a shallow, conditional possession of what you believe God/Love/Reality/Nature is. You cannot accomplish this as a “knower” of Nature, but only as a PART of Nature. Living in and participating willingly in a society of Takers from Nature, of destroyers of God, is not how to attain spiritual growth.

Mental, spiritual, physical growth is established by continually adapting ourselves, purely, to our environment. It is not established by adapting our environment to ourselves.

My Mom

I can always go to my mother when I need to feel comforted, when I need to have someone accept me and dissolve my frustrations.
My mom always listens to me, but with her heart, and I never feel judged.
She always feels the need to feed me. My mom perpetually has something out for me to eat and drink. That’s one of the best things about how moms nurture us, with the validation of care and attention, especially when I am not fighting with my brothers and sisters or stealing their toys.
One of the most soothing things about my mom is her voice. When she speaks, it’s like having my spirit lifted into the Universe.
And my mom has the most amazing stories to tell from eons past. She is very Wise.
My mom is beautiful, and when the Great Spirit made her, she was so lovely that I think It made all moms beautiful like her.
My mom lets me know that I have purpose, that I am never alone and always loved. She sets an example for me, trying to be loving and caring to everyone, all of my brothers and sisters.
I wish everybody loved my mom as much.
She is Earth.

The Fallacy of Spiritual Technology: Part I

When I go into the wild, into Reality, to gather food, it is with reverence and respect. Life is not a commodity. It is not to be taken without an honorable reciprocation of some kind. This process of taking from Nature, to me, implies an immense amount of gratitude and a depth of investment not for my own welfare, but for the welfare of our future generations, for if I take for myself with no regard for the future, then I steal from our progeny, and I disgrace the purpose of my existence within the flow of the predetermined cycles of Nature.

When I take a plant, I do this peacefully, ever aware of my surroundings, staying in tune with all of the movements and sounds, the smells and sensations, always absorbing the life and the cycles around me, immersing myself into the flow of Reality so that I am part of it rather than being an invader, or a trespasser. I ask spirit for guidance, tapping-in to my inner vision or intuition, but always from a place of neutrality, free of thought and subjectivity so that I am not influenced by otherwise detrimental forces of the spirit realm. Productive and Destructive elements are crucial for the growth of all things, but these things are not subjective. Humans are afflicted with a biased concept of Productive and Destructive, and our actions, when coming from a biased place, become tainted. These are the demons of our selfish minds, and they are not part of the growth cycles. What this means is that if I forget that I am part of Reality, part of the Whole, then my actions become biased, distracted, as I lose my place within the Now, a place of constant thanksgiving. This is a place of moving meditation, so that I am not sedentary of body, but moving in a rhythm according to the flow of the Natural world, the slowed down tempo of creation. I must function from a point of openness and change, between action and reaction where Intent can blossom into productive progression or resolution of the Unity of opposites or of other conflict. Growth comes from this Unity, born of constant conflict, which is not to be confused for “bad” or malevolent. This is change. This is the Now.

From this place, when I find the plants I seek, I sit with the family of them, and I talk to them, letting them know my intent, my purpose, and that I do honor and respect them as my family, and not as underlings or inferior beings. I respect them because they live in the purest of form, the purest of spirit, never needing anything fabricated to exist, giving themselves wholly to the care of life and death of the Creator. I am not there to conquer, and I am not there to take for myself, but in consideration of both my progeny and theirs, as well as that of all of Creation. And in this prayer, this giving of thanks, I choose plants that are fighting for survival in clusters in which they will ultimately succumb to their stronger brothers and sisters. I remove plants as a process of culling, to remove the weaker, the sicker, so that the strongest and healthiest grandparent plants remain. I take only what is needed for my family, and I leave the rest so that my family of wildlife can also have plenty for their own. I leave the strongest so that the plant family propagates seed from the healthiest stock, now with more room for spreading their roots and gathering sunlight and water from the places where I’ve removed our less hearty brothers and sisters, and this ensures that there will be a healthy and strong population of plants for the future. As I pass down this practice to my children, they take the lesson of honor which will also feed our grandchildren, and this will flow along the ages until an anomaly may change it.continued

The Fallacy of Spiritual Technology: Part II

The plants I have taken are also told that I mean no disrespect, and that I am grateful that they will become part of my own body, that we will merge physically and spiritually, and that I honor the greatest gift of life that they are allowing me to take.

In my actions of living, I must always be reciprocating so that there is either no net loss on either side, or so that I leave Nature with the net gain. This is honoring the Creator. This is respect, and it is balance.

These things that I do to live with Nature take skill and work. This activity helps to keep me strong, alert, healthy, cleansed, and it is a way that I honor the Creator for the physical gifts I have been given. As well, I must keep my mind sharp, always aware of everything, connected to the Now and never lost in dwelling upon the past or anticipating the future. I earn what I need to live, and I return with all that I do, never taking for granted anything with which I’ve been blessed. I am grateful to be healthy, aware, and strong and capable, and I would never undermine these gifts of the Creator. Now I fulfill my role in the Real world, where I also submit my entire life and death to the function of Love, to the Natural cycles, because there is no fear in Reality of dying or loss. There is no external possession, and there is no possession of self. If I allow these things to happen, then my mind and spirit become affected, and I then begin to cater to my selfishness, seeking to fulfill desires and to cater to my fears.

In this case, however, learning to fear death, learning to find discomfort in the Reality of cold winters or rainy days of tracking game, I begin to seek ways to mitigate my fears by creating tools that will make my life easier, so that I can be more comfortable, so that I can find more time to immerse myself into distractions rather than in Reality.

Instead of going to gather the plants, I will develop fields of plants that I can easily harvest with increasingly efficient tools. I will eliminate the ecosystems of other beings in order to make more room for my crops and livestock so that I can feed my growing family, as well as the families of others. Now that we fear death and loss, we will strive to develop technologies to stave off death. We will have hospitals and synthetic medicines that will kill diseases or fight bacteria. We will numb our pains of birth and death, and we will make dying harder while we make birthing easier. As we develop more comfortable and safe surroundings, taking up more land with bigger houses, roads, infrastructures, and cities, we will begin to evolve relative to our fabricated world. Now we will not need to have sharp eyesight, body-hair, and good ears for hunting and staying warm. We will not need to hunt at all. Life will be a commodity. As our senses numb, our brains will compensate, and we will build technologies to fill-in as crutches for our physical shortcomings. Thus, our future generations will be born with evolutionary deficiencies and anomalies that would not let them survive in the Natural world, yet as we have developed increasing fear of death and loss, we will invent technology to salvage them, to bring them into existence deformed and sick, because we are too selfish to let them go.
We will need more land for industry and agriculture, as well as residency for our increasing population. Now taking from Nature is a dead matter of course, a callous continued

event of a system that is more like a machine than a personal connection to Reality. Now we live in spite of Nature. As our population grows, we will begin to find that we have differing belief systems from others, and we will push each other into smaller spaces, competing for food and now for the new god of money. Eugenics begins to take over so that those with more money live better in spite of their physical weaknesses, while those with less money have less and suffer. Subcultures will develop, and there will be war internally between cities or clans. As international travel increases, more dissension will ensue globally, and nations will seek power by jockeying for positions, using people to annihilate each other with violence and hatred for a common cause relative to each nation, that is used to extort our natural tendency for cooperation, so that we are lulled by a pseudo-patriotism, a propagandist brotherhood, and our weapons will be increasingly technological so that we can kill more people, eliminate more land from greater distances and with less effort.

As we evolve in the fabricated world, surrounded by artificial lights and artificial life, plastic surgery, sports, gambling, drugs, video-games, rock-concerts, drag-racing, cults, Klans, and a mentality of tolerance that means putting up fences and boundaries to keep everyone away from us while we share the same grocery stores and gather with small factions of like-minded folks in churches or clubs so that we try to maintain a sense of society, of belonging, we find ourselves becoming engulfed in bitterness and misery.

Our jobs are unfair and take all of our time and lives from our families. Our children grow up too fast, and we find that we’ve missed more of their upbringing than we thought, even while we were home with them, as we needed to escape into sports, newspapers, television shows, or other pastimes just to get some relief from the stressful day of dealing with so many people or demands in the name of money. We find that we are tethered to the system of a repeating record, a rut of: daycare, school, college, jobs, careers, marriage, home, children, retirement, and death. Our elders are disposed of in convenient facilities so that we can remain unfettered and productive. This is the way of the new culture, and we’re lucky if we can even claim to have accomplished anything that isn’t outdated or replaced by technology before we die. We even believe dying is an ending because we define ourselves by possession and all that we leave behind. We believe we can own parcels of land, upon which we spray poisons and then plant invasive species that work to compromise the local flora and fauna so we can have the most beautiful, unnatural green lawn on the block. We establish property lines on an Earth we cannot own, and we either ignore or demolish the natural world within.

As technology develops, I don’t have to go out and gather my food. I don’t have to listen to the cycles of Nature. I don’t have to fit in and participate. Now, I can rape from afar. I don’t have to hunt; I don’t have to make my own clothing; I don’t have to heat a small home I built with my hands with only what Nature gave me in its purest form. I can now buy synthetics that have a net-detriment to the environment that our children will inherit, instead. I can pollute and justify it with recycling, just as much as I can sin for the week and justify it with religion on Sunday. I have no need to invest myself in the natural cycles anymore, not only because I have invented technology to do the work for me, but because I cannot even survive in Reality for having such atrophied senses and skills thatcontinued

. . . have developed within the artificial world. Now, I don’t even need to touch Nature at all. I can go from my house to my driveway to my car to a parking lot to an office building and I can negotiate city streets and subways to get my needs met. Nature is alien to me, now. I justify my blasphemy by blaming Nature for being too harsh, too hard, too cruel, and I actually call Natural cycles “natural disasters” when they cost my society money. I can even call all of my inventions “natural” by some contrived loophole since the synthesized materials I gathered actually came “from Nature” technically in their unadulterated form. But this is naïve and selfish. This is the mind of the destructive, the demons.

Technology now makes it possible for me to interact across the globe with electronics, like a new fangled miracle of spiritual epiphany. Now, instead of being connected to Reality, I can plug myself in to the artificial world, to the computers, and I can be connected to the machine that perpetuates fear and subjectivity, always downloading what I’m told is important. I am a fish in a barrel as a target for brainwashing because I have become so dependent upon the artificial world that I cannot leave it, and I will justify it and defend it wholly. I will convince my deprived spirit that this is “God’s will” or the “divine plan” and that I am too helpless and not even obligated to change because this is the way it’s done around here. I will believe that I am above that which sustains me, and that I am entitled to take what I wish, to live to any excess I can establish, to reap the “most” out of life, all in spite of reverence and Reality. My existence is to be the parasite, the cancer, and technology allows me to do this with great efficiency.

My mind is full of confusing messages and beliefs. I am convinced that the only just existence is one in which I find my “true self’ relative to the sick, fabricated world, and I assimilate as best I can. I am no longer part of the Real world, so my spirit is deprived. Technology offers distractions to my busy mind so that I can pacify my spirit, ignore it. But I still feel a yearning, a craving to see the Sun, to smell fresh air, to watch a fire or sit by the water. I miss most of life now, because I am tunnel-visioned on my own existence in the fantasy world. I am now concerned with clocks and efficiency, and I cannot afford to worry about sending my children to daycare to be raised by surrogate mothers. I can’t afford to worry about my broken car, my rent, my sick mother, my own health, because I need to be a productive cog in the wheel so that I can have technology to make my life easier and pacify my sick spirit. Now I need a vacation from the artificial world. Now I leave my artificial home in my cookie-cutter neighborhood (or my private acreage that I know nothing about in the countryside), and I jaunt off in a jet to a gigantic, commercialized amusement park that not only utilizes the utmost in technological blasphemy, but tries to simulate Nature, but in a much more comfortable, less offensive way, so that it is more approachable—but still out of reach--to me and my sensitive species. Or we might go to the beach so that we can sit on towels and blankets in an overcrowded spot of sunbathers who are into the scene to take advantage of the landscape, to indulge in personal matters of relaxation, to usurp the land and the sun, to leave the trash from the fast foods and soda bottles, with no regard of the impact on the environment they abuse. I will stop with my family at signs that say, “Scenic Overlook” for moments of mock admiration and awe at the picturesque landscape so that we can take advantage of a photo-op before getting back into the air-conditioned Hybrid SUV--that makes me feel like I’m contributing to environmental consciousness because I ignore the real impact of detriment it has on the environment—which I bought based upon an imaginary system of discrimination made up of theoretical value called “credit,” and my genetically modified, test-tube children restart their DVD players or iPods so that they don’t have to interact with the family or their surroundings while we travel from point A to point B with efficiency at 40+ mpg. I will not get lost because I have a trusty GPS that talks to me.Last Page

The Fallacy of Spiritual Technology: Part V

My gift of free will has been biased by fear, and I am the disease upon the planet. But not everyone is this way. There are many who wish to return to the Real world, to connect to spirit.

Technology creates complacency, ease of living that undermines the purpose of the hard work it should actually take to experience life, to maintain health and balance in Reality. This was living. Life in the ancient cultures was Law, and Law was Life. The honor and dignity of hard work created a sense of pride, tempered with the humility of accountability. It was a matter of seeking perfection in all that we do, whether making a beautiful pair of moccasins or cleaning the latrines. Technology allows us to cater to our fears, discomforts, shortcomings, and desires. It facilitates selfishness. Spirit cannot flourish when we are inhabited and inhibited by selfishness, fear, and desire. Spirit is not about money, possessions, or personal gain. Never has been, never will be. Technology does not bridge us to the spiritual. Technology directly opposes it, creates a rift of dependency and numbness, instead. It causes harm to the environment, ecosystems, and other species. This is fact. Our overpopulation is a testament to this entire document. We are destructive right now.

As long as society treats life as a commodity, as long as society believes that land, air, and water can be owned, then those with money will have more, and it will be owned by those who know the least about it. Society facilitates this disgusting practice. Technology reinforces it because we depend upon it because we are spiritually deprived and depraved. Using technology is an indication of spiritual sickness. This is fact. And as long as society maintains this paradigm, then people who do not want to participate in this system will continue to be forced to do so, to give up their inherent rights to live in Reality, to live as Caretakers, because there will always be human impact, pollution, development, landownership, taxes, anthropogenics, and increasingly less viable tracts for any natural colonies to be able to survive. This is tyranny; it is injustice. The selfishness and spiritual depravity of modern culture infringes upon the inherent rights of other humans to live out of modern culture.

Nobody can prove at all in any way that modern technology is beneficial to all life. If anything creates a net-deficit to Nature or any ecosystem or species of Nature, then it must be abandoned. The majority of our needs are perceived and selfish, and we have no right to continue this existence with any sense of morality or righteousness.

Ethics are subjective in the human world, and this is not viable. Anyone believing that technology is beneficial or is “positive,” and that we have no accountability to do something to change this sickness, is naïve and diametrically opposes Nature. There is no spirituality in modern technology. And when you multiply its usage by billions of people, it is staggeringly despicable and destructive. It’s not about personal preference, because that’s a load of selfish garbage. It’s about being realistic and stepping-up with responsibility for accountability and doing what’s right for the Whole.

This is fact. Nature cannot be proven wrong, and it takes a truly sick and depraved mind to believe otherwise. The only Divine Plan is found in Natural Law, not in man’s doctrines and beliefs. Touting technology is advocating the spiritual numbness. No matter what we do to this planet, she will recover some form of balance in the future, once we’re gone. But all we really have left to change, to be accountable for, is spirit, the Intent with which we leave this physical form. Is our existence going to be a constant push of destruction or are we going to finally embrace Love and Reality?

The Middle of Now

Darkness exists in the absence of light, but darkness is the absence; it is the default. Light is energy that fills the darkness. Cold is the absence of heat; heat is energy that fills the coldness. Silence is the absence of sound. Death is the absence of life.

The Earth pulls us to her. Life pushes away from her. Trees and plants sprout and push away, reaching toward the sun. The roots and the ground are the Unity of body. The leaves and the Sun are the Unity of energy. The pull is the female entity, the push, the male. The place between the darkness and light, the push and pull, the heat and cold, the stillness and vibration is Unity. There is a resonance of harmony as the twilight of extremes; this is where unconditional love is found.

Night and Day oscillate with one another. Their frequency creates a Unity of cyclical progression, a recurring movement of cycles of seasons, growth, and death.

If I pass a rope over a smooth branch and hold one end in each hand, I can move my hands in opposite directions in order to create motion of the rope sliding over the branch. If I push with one hand too hard or fast, the rope slackens on the push side, and the pull side has to catch up. But if I pull too hard or fast on the pull side, there is resistance from the slower push side. Only when they work in harmony is there Unity and smooth progression with no tension and no slack.

The Sun pulls the planets to it, but they also fall away. If the Sun did not pull, the planets would fly away with the push of centripetal force, while if the planets were not pushed away by this force, then they would collapse into the Sun. This Unity creates orbit, constant motion.

If you push against me while I face you, and I push back, we have conflict. A push opposes a push. Likewise, if you pull against me and I, in turn, pull against you, we also have a stalemate of conflict. Now if you pull and I push, we have motion. Likewise, if you push and I pull, we also have motion. But this motion can never reach full night or full day as long as we face one another with no resolution to the motion. Essentially, we play see-saw back and forth until we either grow tired or into infinity, but there is no progression. However, if I change my position when you push, and I contribute to your push with a tangential pull, thus making your push come from MY center instead of yours, I can direct your energy into my absence of energy, which I will then switch in our dance as I contribute my energy into bringing your absence of energy to resolution. I will now illuminate your darkness by extending your energy with mine away from me, or I will extinguish your energy by embracing you into darkness. Light added to light creates brighter light. Push added to push must not conflict, but make a unified movement toward resolution.

Movement pierces stillness and intention pierces perception.

Mushin is the absence of thought, of preoccupation with the past (missing or regretting) and the future (wishing, expecting, planning), which facilitates Zanshin or complete awareness of our connection to all things (Mitakuye Oyasin), which is accomplished through being Unconditional Love, which is accomplished through being part of Reality in mind, body, and spirit, which means living with the land (Original Instructions), which means we experience Musubi, or the Now, the place between action and reaction. It is the place of Change, of Intent, which means that our existence is always in a state of present progression, or active stillness. Mindfulness means embracing the Now and making positive, productive change by being connected to Reality through being wholly grateful for all of Nature and emanating Unconditional Love/Compassion for all life and Natural Law (Mitakuye Oyasin), which means losing the concept of self which then allows us to experience Satori or Oneness.

Truth of Unconditional Love

The Great Spirit expresses Unconditional Love in three ways:

1. Unity of “opposites.” The logical course of cause and effect, yin and yang, life and death. This is mind, the Original Instructions.
2. Through the physical manifestation and movements of these processes that abide by Natural Law of Original Instructions.
3. Through the energy of intent, through progression of the processes of unbiased Unconditional Love. The Energy of life, the vibration of being that bonds all things.

Not all beings think in the way that humans think, but all of Nature functions as a matter of existence, as a product of the logical processes of cause and effect and must adhere to those Laws of Nature. All energy, no matter how active or static it may appear, plays a part in the course of Natural events.

The Great Spirit manifests energy into physical form as a Unity of atomic process. The atom is the threshold of Unity between energy and matter. The physical world is the ever changing manifestation of God’s Love.

Unconditional Love is the function of productive intent and progression that is God’s Love that exists throughout the Universe and within all of us. It is the spirit that binds all things of Nature. Unconditional Love happens Now. Unconditional Love is a present experience. Every instant of growth and progression is the effect of Unconditional Love at that moment, not in the past, which is gone, and not in the future, which is irrelevant, but only in every moment of the Now.

Unconditional Love means to experience the Now always of the mind of harmonizing with Nature. It is not the sentimental, shallow love of the human mind, but the very essence of the Great Spirit. It is the Caretaker Mind for all of Nature with no judgment and no self-serving intent or motive. Our role is to be an extension of the Self as a channel or portal for the Universal Spirit, which means to lose the concept of the smaller “self,” or ego in order to be full of the Universe.

The Great Spirit is logical, but it is not logic. It is philosophized, but it is not philosophy. It is a balance of the Triad of mind, body, and spirit. One may talk about the logical ideas of the Great Spirit/Unconditional Love, but unless one also trains the body and the spirit through living in harmony with Nature, through Being part of the Whole, then one cannot fully embrace and BE Unconditional Love.

How can I show you the function of the Universe if I do not live as a reflection, as an integral part, of the function of the Universe? What kind of brother would I be to all beings of Nature if I could only TALK about Unconditional Love of the Great Spirit and if I do not constantly train my mind, body, and spirit in this Way? How could I NOT have lived (and now strive for all of us to live) with Nature but still embrace the essence of Unconditional Love? It is more than thought and belief; it is Truth, which can only be understood by Being Truth, not by talking about Truth. Men can never understand childbirth completely only by witnessing it and talking about the science of it. And those that oppose Truth and Love, who fight against it, have and will conquer us if we do not condition our Triad out of respect and reverence for the Great Spirit. We cannot Be Truth only partially.

It is not random acts of kindness. It is not tolerance. It is not passivity. It is not recycling. It is not driving “green” vehicles. It is not trying to be a “good” person. It is not financial wealth. It is not financial donations, either. It is not doing what makes us happy. Unconditional Love is not relative to Self. It is unconditional. It is compassion that upholds the integrity of Universal Justice. It is active, and it is hard work for growth of the Triad.

If you are thirsty; I give you water. If a tree is thirsty; I give it water. If you are being wronged; I will stop it. If a tree is being wronged; I will stop it. If the Great Spirit says it is your time to die; I will bring love to your spirit. If the Great Spirit says it is time for a tree to die; I will bring love to its spirit.

Nature has no need for the unnatural. Nature has no need for buildings and cars, for money and televisions. If we were to vanish, Nature would consume all of these inventions of the dream-world so that they would no longer exist. If God existed in a building, then why would all life cease if we put a church or shrine on every square inch of the Earth? God is Nature. If you put Nature on every square inch of the Earth, we flourish, as would all beings, and God’s Love would create balance and harmony.

Drop the Addiction.

Drop the Addiction!

It’s almost as though people don’t want to give up the addiction of life. We know that we have traits sometimes that are less than virtuous, and we’ll even admit, humorously, that we know of these traits, but we don’t actually seek to shed them. People cling to things like emotions almost as if they’re hits of some drug, whether enjoyable or miserable because it is an impacting sensation that our deprived spirits need, almost like a jump-start. We love to hate, we love seeing friction, we love to love, we love to laugh at people, we love to cry, and even if we hate any of those things, we love to hate them. The modern life is full of addictions, but addictions can be dropped, just like any habit. We can choose to stop indulging. It’s not easy, but it is very viable, and it is quite refreshing.

We let ourselves become lulled by conveniences that money can buy, like washing machines, vehicles, telephones, and refrigerators. As we adopt these conveniences, we lose a valuable connection to the Real flow of life, to the reality of accountability of existing in the Real world. If I don’t have to be attentive to my life at every moment because I have “convenient technologies” to take up the slack or to make life “easier,” then I can find other distractions to fill the void in my existence, and I thus lose an essential element of being part of everything. Understanding Truth and one’s true place and purpose means literally being part of the experience all the way. It’s a complete investment in BEING.

If we can finally decide—because it really comes down to a personal decision—to drop these addictions and habits of experiencing the shallower aspects of life and ourselves, then we can empty our proverbial cups and let new things happen. It is not viable to learn about being part of the Whole before experiencing it. It’s like the difference between understanding birth buy studying books and watching births, and then never giving birth first-hand. You can “get” Oneness and then experience it. You need to experience it in order to “get” it. This is why I can’t stress enough to not believe anything you are taught or that you read by any teachers, gurus, wisemen or wisewomen, or any other authority, elder, or prophet because you have to experience Truth in order to understand what it really means.

We become so oppressed by the world into which we are raised and molded, that we accept it and defend it fiercely because we don't even know how to escape it. It's the only "reality" we know, and when anyone challenges it, we get very upset because it quakes our entire idea of our place and purpose. In fact, even those who claim to "know" Reality are typically part of this Matrix and only teach how to better assimilate to a sick society rather than seek our true place and purpose in Reality, because even they don't know what Reality is.

This concept of life most people have is an addiction. People thrive on the acid hits of emotional ups and downs, of massively brain-numbing stimulation of video games, movies, rock concerts, etc, etc, and the rut of going from birth to school to job,family, home, retirement until they lie on their death-bed and reflect with some romanticized notion that they, "had a good life." It's not as good as they want to convince themselves, but it fills the void with distractions, and it's all they have. Some folks can drop the addiction, and some folks need an intervention, and some folks will simply spiral to destruction, but we do have the right to make sure they don't bring us down with them.

I've Lost Myself . . . So Here I Am!!

Being truly happy means letting go of all of those things that MAKE us happy, and just simply allowing ourselves to BE happy.

I don’t need to buy the things that I need to live on this Earth because I can find them in Nature, directly from the Great Spirit.
I do not need to contribute to modern methods of damaging the Earth and treating living beings as commodities because I can listen to Nature and exist within. I am free from the restrictions and nurtured drives of money.
In Nature, I am endlessly entertained and in awe of the work of the Great Spirit, and I am constantly seeking perfection in everything I do. I am not tethered to fabricated and spiritually deprived distractions of the mind.
In Nature I am forever grateful in a circular manner, always aware of all that exists because I live in a moving meditation of gratitude for all things of the Creator. I do not need rituals, religions, and doctrines to schedule gratitude.
My whole Self functions as a tool for Creation, thus elimination my perceived self. I am never lonely and I am never alone.
I emulate the twisting grapevine, the pouncing leopard, the spinning cyclone, the undulating waves, and I am a constant reflection of the Universe because the Universe exists in all things of ever-changing Nature.
My teachers are the cycles of Nature, and my heroes are the beings that live and forget; exist without desire but with only pure purpose so that we all may share this experience in harmony.
I am not a person anymore, but I am a vibration in Human form. I have been all things, and I will forever be all things because death is not an ending but a transition. In our existence, there is nothing to be tied to that will not be with us forever. There is no material loss, no emotional tether, no legacy, no ownership of any thing or concept. What works for all beings works for me, and I am NOT more important than or above what sustains me.
Nature is not found in building and books, it is not found in manmade constructs, it is Universal Truth that always has been and always will be.

When we free ourselves from dependency upon artificial life and perceived needs and desires, then we see that all of the things we found so important no longer have power over us. We can choose to release what makes us sad or happy and we can embrace true peace. Even when we are happy and content in the fabricated world, we are always afraid that we will lose it, that we must preserve it, that we may become sad again, and this is a demon of fear that must be crushed by the Sword of Truth.
What we do not own, we cannot lose.
What we truly love will stay with us forever.
If we banish fear, we raise ourselves above the demons of hatred and deceit, ulterior motive and malevolence. We raise ourselves from the nagging tether of finding happiness, satiation, of feeling loss, of mourning death, of fearing death. We lose the false parameters that define the smaller self, and we hatch from the fabricated cocoon but not as a mere butterfly, yet as the essence of the vibrations of color, sound, and presence. That is the death of self. This is when physical death is a birth-out, not an ending.

Mob Mentallity

We are social beings now, but our interests changed our motives. Several thousands of years ago, when we lived more like our primate cousins, we were creatures that interacted socially for breeding and for protection. It made sense to function as groups that could have more eyes to see stalking predators, but also to form physiological bonds with one another in order to make procreation successful. We are a species that emulates our parents and elders in order to establish a pecking order so that we may fulfill our inherent roles in the group, but also so that we understand some common rules of conduct within our group. This form of group-loyalty kept us closely knit so that we were family oriented and fiercely protective, which meant that our actions for survival and protection of our young were self-serving to a degree of maintaining our bloodlines.

It made no sense to extend courtesies to other groups because their survival would potentially put them in direct conflict with our own group for space and food. Our concerns were made for our family. But even as such, we were a foraging species. There was nobody cooking meals for the rest of us; there was nobody collecting baskets of fruits for the rest of us. Each individual foraged for themselves when the entire group went to a feeding area. Our collective activity was not to provide food for one another, but to provide eyes for one another. A predator was a threat to any individual, so we all had a common interest in fighting-off predators as a unit. But an individual that could not fend for itself became a detriment to the group, thus, if one could not find adequate sustenance, then one would likely perish, which would ultimately keep the group stronger in two ways: the individual would not become a parasite on the group for food and care, but also that individual would become the slower, weaker, sicker meal for that predator, at least temporarily diverting its interest away from the rest of us so that we could continue to survive and procreate.

Over time, as we began to take advantage of the feeding patterns of large predators, who might feed at a kill, but then leave it for a rest only to return later for more, we learned that this carrion was a rather convenient form of nourishment that could be divided from a single source amongst everyone in the clan. Now, instead of feeding as an exposed group for long periods on seeds, nuts, berries, and insects, we could go out in a more surreptitious manner and bring back a meal source in one-fell swoop to supplement. This made life easier, especially because we are a cooperative species. When hunting meant living, it was a benefit for small groups of men to form hunting parties so that they had better odds at catching bigger game that they could carry back together in order to feed the clan. Our cooperative efforts were performed directly for our best interest of survival. Not only could we hunt more effectively, but we could stave off other predators and scavengers as we developed our cooperative logistic. Further, cooperation made agriculture more lucrative, thus we could move our berries, roots, and other veggies closer to home where we had more defenses against would-be predators or conflicting tribes.

But Nature always kept a balance. We did not fear death as we do now. No other creature actually fears death; only humans possess this unfortunate trait. All creatures fear attacks. All creatures fear the potential threat of the unfamiliar, which displays as a “fight” or “flight” response, but this is not to be confused or misconstrued as a fear of death itself, because it is neither productive nor realistic to fear death to the point of contradicting Natural Law.

So as we formed these cooperative units for living, we did this as a species that sought survival, not as a species that sought immortality. Our actions were self-serving only to the point of logical “survival of the fittest.” There was no ulterior motive, no deceit. Our actions for the cooperative were united by each of us having a personal interest in the actions and the results. If I did not hunt or forage, I would not survive. (Keep in mind, this is different from: “I do not want to die, so I must prevent my death by eating.”)

More recently, however, our cooperative nature has become exploitable, particularly as our minds have become less spiritually aware and more subjectively connected. This comes from a new evolution of fearing death, which means seeking a safer existence with technologies to stave off death, which means developing a more sedentary and comfortable lifestyle as we strive for the station of gods. We take from Earth without reverence, and we now live in spite of Nature. Our cooperation makes this possible. As our minds have evolved into the more abstract ideas of ethics, which have become wholly elastic as they are established by belief systems rather than truths—interpretations of truths that have become twisted to fit our desires and to absolve our otherwise less-than-virtuous consciences—we have figured out ways to influence others by giving them a sense of purpose and a sense of loyalty relative to modern ideals—corrupt or otherwise—as a new way to satiate the hunting party mentality that we have not yet lost in our de-evolution from Reality. Now, instead of hunting parties working toward a common, personal interest for a small, familial clan, we have become fraternal recruits into our new paradigm of patriotism by being convinced that we are honorable to stand up and fight for what’s “right” for “everyone.” When what’s “right” is subjective, when it works for the few but not for all, then it is not virtuous. That is the essence of corruption and terrorism. Our modern wars are fueled by economics, international dominance, and land-possession, if not for mere variations in belief systems. Our wars do not benefit us in any personal way, and, in fact, cause severe detriment to the many environments, which in turn affects all other species, as well as our own progeny. Our wars are counter-productive, made to serve the powerful, the wealthy, but our military is presented as a brotherhood of honorable patriots fighting for freedom that never existed. Our soldiers are now gang-members, recruited because they are the hunters who need the camaraderie of the hunting party. We see this also reflected in subcultures of police and firefighters, sports teams and the fans that live vicariously through the teams.

If we could eliminate all of the subjective ideas of what is valuable to society and start getting back to Reality, to true Spirit, so that we understand and embrace what is truly valuable to all beings—such as our basic needs, and the virtues of Bravery, Love, Friendship, and Wisdom—then we could cooperate to bring ourselves back into balance and disconnect from the fabricated world of corruption and false ideals. In order to “cooperate” ourselves out of the fantasy world of man, we have to understand that we were “cooperated” into it under false pretenses.

Travelling Up a Mountain

When we begin life, we utilize very basic movements of mind, body, and philosophy to enable us to function. This is not new information to you. Our verbal language must develop through a progression of steps, at first learning the structure of letters, then the combinations to form words, then to coordinating the words to express thoughts. Further, the structure of our thoughts is growing similarly through nurturing, believing, observing cultural norms and taboos, listening to our parents and teachers, and understanding the framework of society. As our information grows, we can manipulate more abstract concepts, eventually even allowing us to extract ourselves from the parameters of conventional thought.

Our physical body must crawl, stand, wobble, walk, run and then it can progress to more tempered and disciplined movements found in gymnastics, yoga, dance, martial arts, until we can begin to interpret and respond to abstract stimuli with movement. These new, advanced and honed movements thus become the way in which we interpret the Universe. They are the second nature of our shed basic selves, like the statue revealed from beneath superfluous stone.

As a teenager, I knew information that I was taught whether by learning through exploration or by classroom programming. I knew information, and I began to understand that in all life, in all the Universe, there is a common thread, an invisible energy, essence, spirit, bond that flows through all things. And as I learned more mentally, I also learned more spiritually and physically, one element always springing upward off of the other two in a metaphorical mountain climbing journey.

But at first, when I would speak of these things of Nature, I did not have the experience yet to know why I should believe the things I did. I knew they were "right" things, but I did not know why they were "right." In this case, I would use my base reflexes, and I would argue and push to try to get people to understand. Yet I could not even find many who would listen, particularly while I did not understand yet myself. I did not understand resolution through redirection of combined energy for a productive outcome, either. I did strive for that, but it seemed that only the Enlightened could exercise this skill, and I could only accept that resolution may need to be found in overpowering others with information rather than guiding with patience.

I'm still learning this now.

But it occurs to me that as we train ourselves toward temperance, we move toward a place in which our skills culminate to become our temperance, like being a blazing fire that heats a pool of water-skills whose steam rises only to fall down and quench the fire. The more physical skills I learned and practiced, the more secure I became to be able to handle not only various physical attacks, but also to handle the way each attack would progress. I learned adaptability. This was the same with language and thought. The more I learned about what Nature says, the more adaptable I have begun to become when discussing these things. Now, the information allows me to relax with increasing confidence to become a gentle guide for my children or anyone interested in going this Way. Now there is less fear of "losing control," because control is a weakness of fear. The confidence of skill and knowledge tempers that fear, replaces weakness with strength, but it also opens the mind. A closed mind inhibits growth and connection to others and with the Whole. If this connection is closed, then the other elements of the Triad stagnate. Thus, spirit also shines because each of the three elements in the Triad help to raise the other two to new heights up the mountain. And when spirit is unfettered by fear, open-minded with unconditional love of seeking productive resolution, then we ultimately see all of these skills that brought us along have been a vehicle used to arrive at a place where we will not need them any longer.

This is a fascinating trip. :)

Finding Peace I

We are made of Earth. We are literally constructed of elements that come from the planet, thus, from the Universe. We are that which makes us. Energy that exists in the Universe exists in us. Consciousness that exists in the Universe exists in us. The progressive processes that occur on the Earth, the order that comes of chaos, the evolution of cycles, exist in us. We live, think, sense, grow, and function as a reflection of the predetermined cycles that surround us, holding a place of our own in the Universe, the very Universe that is reflected within us at the same time.

As beings built with thought processes of learning the logical and integrating the artistic, we are of Mind. As beings made of matter that evolves within progressive cycles (in which the strongest and most fit perpetuate growth), we are of Body. As beings of intuition, emotion, and awareness, we are of Spirit. Each of these three facets of the Triad of life must be kept in balance in order for us to experience peace and happiness. Peace and true Happiness are the result of Mind, Body, and Spirit being individually tempered and coordinated or synergized. Until we reach Satori, or Oneness, or Enlightenment, we can be in positions of relative peace while we advance in tempering and strengthening the elements of the Triad. (The term relative is important to keep in mind.) Our peace can start within, but then extends to our home, then our community, then our nation, then our world, then our Universe, and so forth. So if we temper ourselves, we then extend that temperance as a method of existence outward. But we also must understand that we receive ripples from outside of us, as well, which we must then resolve in order to maintain the cycle of peace throughout our Universe. What this means is that as we grow, as we deal with everyday existence, and we must face conflict as a rule of existence.

Life is a series of conflicts. Birth is conflict with death, the bodies of mother and child fighting toward bringing the child into this existence, to breathe. Rain is conflict with Earth, pounding the plants and soils with much needed water, carrying nutrients and detritus to the streams, rivers, and oceans. Healing is conflict as the body protects its injury from further damage, new bone and skin grow, antibodies fight infection, and healing energy displaces stagnant or disrupted energy. Standing is conflict, the body constantly shifting on minute levels to oppose gravity, as the heart beats, the lungs oscillate, the muscles change, and the Earth moves. Death is conflict with life, but only to perpetuate existence. All of these things are necessary for evolution, survival, and growth. Conflict is integral to existence. The more aware of our ever increasing surroundings we become, the more ripples we encounter, and the more we grow as we resolve conflicts to obtain inner peace that can then translate to resolve outer conflicts. In other words, if you have inner peace and peace in your home, then your existence is restricted to the inside of your home. But when you realize that there is a community, and that you are a part of it, turbulence in the community becomes turbulence in your existence, which means you have conflict to resolve in order to obtain peace on that level or in that sphere of existence. This concept moves forever outward, into the spiritual, and perhaps beyond. Part II

Finding Peace II

If I have a broken leg, then my body is not in balance. If my body is out of balance, then I am not at peace. There is something out of sorts, something not as it should be. I can be mentally centered, and I can be spiritually centered, but I am not physically centered with a broken leg. That disturbance compromises my personal peace, and my body must resolve the conflict of the injury and healing in order to attain peacefulness again. If my logical mind does not understand something, cannot grasp a concept that is crucial to my well being, then it will not be at ease until that concept is grasped. I can still be physically centered and healthy, spiritually centered and healthy, but I will not be mentally at peace, so my Triad is not in balance. I cannot be truly peaceful until I grasp that misunderstood thing. Once I understand, then I feel relief, and I can bring the Triad back into balance for peace. In spirit, if I become emotionally or morally agitated, if I feel disturbance in the course of life, if there is suffering or anger, then I must find resolution in order to balance my spirit again. My mind can be logically sound and centered, and my body can be physically fit, but my spirit feeling something discordant needs to be balanced once again. We can feel the depression or utter terror of other beings in danger or being killed. We can feel the energy of other beings; we call it “getting a vibe.” If we are spiritually unaware or if we tamper with our spiritual awareness with biased input, clouding our intuition, then we need to find our spiritual center once again for balance and clarity. The stronger and healthier my individual elements of the Triad are, then the more effective two of them will be to help bring the third into balance. If one aspect is out of balance, then my Triad suffers more over time unless I restore the equilibrium.

Beliefs affect our perceptions of peace, as well. If I believe that killing trees for profit is a just and good thing to do, then killing trees will bring my mind into relative or perceived balance, and I will feel a sense of peace. But if my spirit feels the suffering and discord this causes on an environmental level, I must either ignore it with distractions, i.e.: alcohol or other mental diversions to offset the disease, or I need to reassess my perspective for bias. In other words, this is why it is crucial that our perceptions be as pure as possible based upon a universal truth as our frame of reference. In other words again, as part of the Whole, what I do should benefit the Whole. If my actions contradict or harm any part of the Whole, then I am compromising my balance through ripples that will return directly or indirectly. (Splashing in a pool causes ripples. If the ripples bounce off the walls of the pool back to me, then I am experiencing a direct repercussion. If my ripples cause another person in the pool to respond with splashing, then their ripples are the indirect effect of my ripples.)

There is a difference between being at peace versus being indifferent. In maintaining peace, we must understand that it is an active process. Balancing each element of the Triad takes constant tuning and work, which is conflict resolution, in order to maintain the harmony of elements that keep the entire Triad in balance, thus, allowing peace. But it is also important to understand that our personal Triad extends outward to the entire Universe, as well. We cannot be autonomous. We depend upon the Earth for our survival. We are inexorably connected to the planet, thus, to every other being on this planet, thus, to all spirit within all things, thus, to the entire Universe and beyond. There is no separation aside from perceived separation. Perceived separation means seeing ourselves as independent from the Whole (“I have evolved beyond the need to be tied to the Natural world because it will exist with or without me.”); ignorant of the Whole (“I exist in the world I’ve created and acknowledge no outward connection.”); or living in spite of the Whole (“I am not obliged to give, but am here only to take.”) This spiritual denial of accountability allows for a false sense of peace through indifference or skewed beliefs. If I disconnect from the Whole, then I have no accountability, I have no awareness of the truth of the Whole, I am closed into my restricted perception of the world, and I am content to know nothing because it would be too unbearable, too much to handle, or too depressing. This defines self-centeredness, and being content in ignorance does not imply spiritual balance; therefore, the Triad cannot be balanced, which means true peace cannot be achieved. As an integral part of the Whole, how could we be truly peaceful if the Whole is not truly at peace?Part III

Finding Peace III

When we acknowledge our inherent connection to all things, then we also experience the reality of all things. We experience what affects the Whole. When we accept that we depend upon the Earth for our survival and that we are integral and inexorably connected, then we begin to see that taking care of the Earth, in spite of our wants but in respect for our needs, is beneficial to all beings. As natural beings, protecting Nature so that all of Nature prospers means automatically protecting our progeny. This is preservation. This is the natural order of cycles and evolution. It is the default program that Nature implements, which is unconditional love. Nature doesn’t default as destruction, otherwise it would be non-existent. Self-destruction is not the rule. Survival is the rule, and even a parent sacrificing its life for its child is to serve a greater, progressive law of altruism through unconditional love. We are meant to follow the law of perpetuation of our progeny, but we counter that by destroying the very thing that keeps us and our progeny alive in order to cater to our wants with irreverent parasitism. This means that our spirits cannot be in balance. We are letting our fears and emotions rule our actions, and this is not peaceful. As integral parts of the Whole, how can we be personally at peace if our greater self is not in peace? We cannot.

If you attack my brother because you are angry or because he has something you covet, then your Triad is out of balance. But your attack means that my spirit is automatically disrupted because you are part of the Whole as I am. Look at spirit as being an ocean. We are boats on the ocean. If your boat suddenly spins out of control, it may hit another boat, and it will cause many ripples of disturbance over the waters that we share. Your ripples will affect all beings on the ocean in some manner. My job as a fellow boater is to help your boat get back on course before it goes careering into someone else, including my own boat, and does damage. This is a law of perpetuation of altruism because by helping you not destroy your surroundings, I ultimately aid my spirit and our progeny. I would be remiss to ignore your boat and sail away. I would be abandoning you to cause potentially much suffering and possibly to capsize. Plus, the waters I sail would still ripple with your disruption, and I would not be able to exist in a peaceful way. I cannot force your boat to be stable, because that means I would have to hold it steady indefinitely, and I am not capable to steer everyone’s boat for them. What I could do is bring my boat alongside yours to offer stability while I help you get your boat back under control and balanced. If you choose to ignore my help, but to maintain your destructive course, then I will sail alongside you until you either change your mind for the benefit of all on the ocean, or until your engine fails. If I am an able boatman, then my relatively stable boat can use the wind to sail, even use your own power to move it along while it keeps your boat from crashing into others until you gain control or run out of power. In other words, I need to be as personally centered as I can be in order to be an effective element of Nature to bring balance, then peace, to the rest of the Whole. This is Aikido. If my personal balance and peace are self-serving, then it will only be superficial, as my inherent connection that I choose to ignore will ultimately contradict my perceived autonomy, thus revealing that no matter how peaceful I believe I am, I cannot separate myself from the reality of the Whole. I either live in a closed-off world of selfish indifference, or I am aware of the destruction and suffering of the world around me, of the disrespect and endangerment for our progeny, and I realize my obligation to help seek resolution on a broader scale. What is the difference between my human brother being attacked and my plant and animal relatives being attacked? Part IV

Finding Peace IV

If the world is physically sick, if there are pollutants in the waters and air, if the trees that give us life are being eliminated, then I will ultimately feel the physical ramifications with physical debt and, eventually, death. If the world is out of sorts with disagreement and segregation and no “meeting of mind” as a Whole, then I will also feel the disease of general misunderstanding as a result of varying belief-systems instead of agreement derived from the frame of reference of Natural law. In other words, if Natural law says that we should be Caretakers, yet we choose to be Takers, then my mind will not be able to rest at ease until this situation is resolved in a way that makes sense for the benefit of all beings. If the world is causing suffering and lives being governed by fears, greed, depravity, power, and emotion, then I will feel the ripples of this spiritual deprivation, and my own spirit, as part of the Whole, will be ill at ease. We do need to maintain the balance of our personal Triad, but we need to accept our inherent responsibility to use this to uphold the balance of the planetary Triad, lest we lose the sanctity of the planet that is our very means of survival. Existence is cyclical. If we continue to mutate ourselves away from natural existence, particularly in a linear fashion of Takers in spite of the future, then we continue to ignore Reality, thus shielding ourselves with selfish bubbles of ignorance and indifference that spurn accountability.

If our own species is destroying the planet, then we are accountable to stop our species from destroying the planet. Non-action or indifference can often be misconstrued as peace, while it is actually fear, ignorance, selfishness, or all three. This is spiritual folly, cloaked with peace while there is no action toward resolution. Passive protest is action toward resolution, but the participants need to be ready to carry it as far as it needs to go. Since peace is active and can only exist through constant, productive resolution of conflict, any non-action is not peaceful. Resolution of conflict does not imply violence and aggression, either. It simply means an attempt at bringing conflict to a productive or non-destructive completion. In obtaining peace, the reality is that beings will die, yet it has to be by their own will. In fact, obtaining peace for the existence of the planet means that we need to find a viable balance in our population-to-environment ratio. You can choose to stop thrashing in the water so you do not drown, or you can choose to thrash and drown, but you cannot hold the water accountable for your decision. Doing nothing to stop the destruction being done to the planet means we are as spiritually culpable as those that are doing the destruction. If we do not try to stop it, if we simply accept that it happens and live around it or in spite of it, hoping for the best, then we may as well accept that we are not only part of the problem, but that we are enabling the problem. I will not be part of the destruction by choice.

Perception and Reality

When a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? Of course, I’ve addressed this before, but it’s worth revisiting because it says something about how we exist, as well as our true purpose. A tree falling does not make a sound, but it causes vibrations in the air. A sound occurs when there is a receiver that translates the vibrations. We hear a sound because our ear-structure is affected by vibrations. Sound is a complete process; it does not occur prior to reaching our tympanum, but is the result interpreted afterward, instead. It is the same with all of our physical senses. Sight is not accomplished without eyes to interpret light reflections and refractions. The light is a vibration, and the eyes perceive the vibrations, turning them into sight. Our senses function as part of a process.
A television set kind of functions in the same manner. A television is a body that is designed to receive signals, then turn them into sights and sounds, which are then transmitted at vibrations to us, who then turn them into the sights and sounds appropriate to our design. We know that our biology is similar throughout our species, similar enough to speculate that we all see, hear, smell, feel, and taste things relatively consistently throughout. We also know that other creatures with different designs of the same organs, such as an insect’s eyes, interpret the same vibrations that we receive in a different manner. So we know that reality is perceived in a relative manner, but reality itself is consistent. In other words, that platitude: “We make our own reality,” is garbage. Reality cannot be made by us. Reality already exists and always has. We simply interpret reality in our own ways.
If I am blind, I am now unable to translate the signals or vibrations emitted by the world that is affected by light. I can no longer perceive the visual existence, so it is effectively non-existent for me. But that is my interpretation. Yet, since the absence of sight does not preclude the absence of light being reflected, and since reality exists whether I can interpret it or not, does that then mean that part of me does not exist, instead? What if I cannot hear? Vibrations will still be made in the air. If I cannot smell or taste, particles will still be dispersed from perfumes and cookies. If I cannot feel by touching, matter does not dissolve. So if there is no completed circuit, so to speak, between the transmitted world and my receiving capabilities, does that mean that I, effectively, do not exist? If I were in a room with another person, and that person could not see, hear, smell, feel, or taste, therefore, had no perception of me at all, does that mean that I do not exist for them, but that they do exist for me?
How does a being that does not see, hear, feel, taste, or smell perceive other beings? What does a tree do, well, before it falls in the woods? How does it perceive? How is it that we can affect particles of energy simply by observing them? If we had no senses at all from birth, would we have any way of grasping that there is a world?
Our bodies are vessels. Our bodies are designed with purpose. Just as a computer is designed for a purpose, while a radio is designed for a different purpose, and a television for yet another, etc, we are equipped with certain “hardware” that has function. We were designed with our physical senses for a reason of completing a circuit, receiving and interpreting signals. It is through these channels of perception that we create a bond with reality while inhabiting these vessels. When we leave the vessels, our essence continues to oscillate, but our restrictive perceptions are gone. This means that our physical purpose is tied to the physical world designed by the vibrations of the universe, or, the Creator.
Without our senses for perception, we are spirits locked inside of a container with no viable reception to outside stimuli, kind of like satellite television on a cloudy day. The energy exists, but there is nothing happening because the signal cannot be received and interpreted. We are meant to interact with the outside world, because it is through this range of interactions that our spirits have connection, sustenance, while inside the vessel. The richness of our sensory perception will directly affect our spirit.
What if your television received video, but the audio was static? What if the audio was clear, but the video kept freezing or blacking out, like when too many clouds interrupt the signal? What if the audio was extremely loud, but the video was fine? What if the television did not allow you to touch or smell the things you see and hear? That would mean that the experience is incomplete. If our spirits are part of the Great Spirit, part of the universal energy, and the universal energy is something like a gigantic satellite signal, and our bodies are the receivers for the signal so that our spirits can have a complete, fulfilling experience of reality, then does it make sense to inhibit those signals?
The Creator force, the universal energy, manifests in physical form in numerous ways. We see this in any natural entity, such as that tree, a bird, a crab, a flea, a banana, and anything that has not been manipulated by human hands. Reality already exists, remember; we cannot create it. We alter the physical forms of reality, but artificial things are not real, they are only tangible. Imagine, for example, that your body is altered synthetically to form a plastic bottle. Your purpose has been altered, and you are not a real human any longer. The bottle is not one that was found in nature, so even though the physical element is made of real matter, it is not fulfilling its natural role. Plastic bottles do not readily occur in Nature—although, they can be found in Nature, now, because humans put them there. A television is made of natural materials, but televisions do not readily occur in nature; they have no purpose in the natural world. So the Creator force is readily found in whatever form the Creator naturally assumes, which means it is designed with purpose in the greater, holistic scheme of Nature. Therefore, if the Creator designed Nature, and the Creator designed us to be bodies with perception that contain spirits, does it make sense that we have a purpose in the holistic scheme? Does it make sense that our spiritual connection to purpose and completeness, therefore satiation, would come from the manifestations of the Creator instead of from the artificial?
So, as part of reality, if my spiritual satiation comes from my perceptions of reality, then does it matter HOW I perceive reality, or only THAT I perceive reality?
First, knowing that my holistic existence is contingent upon my physical perceptions, which enrich my spirit because the senses (and breath, which is covered elsewhere), are the keys to connecting contained spirit to universal spirit, then THAT I perceive reality is a pretty crucial matter. Now if reality is that which exists prior to any human creation, then if I put walls up around me, does that not disconnect me from reality? If I put walls around me, and a roof over my head, and I close out sound, weather, and scent, essentially residing in a dark box, is that not similar to shutting off my senses? If I shut off my physical connection to reality, does that mean that reality effectively ceases to exist for me? Does this mean I effectively cease to exist, by cutting off the circuit of perception, to reality? It’s not really anything transcendental or deep. Basically, by being disconnected from the real world in my physical form, I cut connections to the Whole, essentially trapping my spirit in a box. From there, it can either move out of the box and connect to reality through the senses, or it can leave my physical form and re-integrate with the Whole. (Being disconnected from physical perception does not mean that my spirit does not exist in reality, it means that I cannot make a connection, I cannot satiate my spiritual place and purpose, similar to a battery being full of potential energy that has no form or function until it makes the right connection to fulfill its purpose.)
But the brain is an organ that needs occupation. It is active, always perceiving, reasoning, absorbing, thinking. What happens if I disconnect from reality, from the spirit manifest in Nature, and I reside in the dark box with no interaction, no mental or physical stimulation? I am living death. What would there be to occupy my ravenous mind if I had no perception of anything at all? What if, in my dark room, where my senses function, but have no signal to receive, there was suddenly light? What if there was a television? My mind would focus on the stimulus. There would be distraction. I could watch a television show. I could see a movie, and I could laugh. What if I could control the temperature of the room and even have food provided through a hole in the wall? I could keep my mind occupied, but does occupation imply spiritual satiation?
Artificial things are not found naturally occurring. If the Creator did not implement them into the cycles of natural progression, then they do not fit. Artificial things typically use natural resources in a parasitic way; pollute the natural world in their creation, their disposal, or both; and have no function other than to satisfy a human perception of need that is based upon fear or discomfort, which are perpetuated by living in an artificial world. Therefore, if I occupy myself with things that are artificial, do I find spiritual fulfillment and satiation, or do I simply occupy my busy mind in spite of spiritual fulfillment and satiation?
If I exist in an artificial world, which is not a human interpretation of reality, but a fabrication in spite of reality, then I am sacrificing my definition and purpose based upon reality, so that I develop my identity and occupation within artificial parameters. My body literally begins to assimilate to the artificial conditions, and evolution shows that my progeny will further transform or mutate to assimilate in direct correlation to these artificial conditions. This implies that as my progeny evolve relative to the fabricated world that shuts us off from reality, they will no longer be real. If our core design was meant to function within the larger design of Nature, and we literally close ourselves off from Nature and replace spiritual connection with mental preoccupations or distractions, it means that we are ignoring our inherent realness. It means we are spiting Creation. Our senses and physical structures will atrophy the more we replace reality with distractions and comforts. We don’t hunt and gather anymore, so our senses and natural, physiological tools are watered down through false evolution. We let televisions and iPods, alcohol and drugs, and myriad other distractions infiltrate our systems and saturate us with stimulation so that our inherent abilities become numb. We change our landscape for more easy negotiation so that we don’t even walk correctly anymore, if we walk at all. We fight death and aging, and we literally breed increasingly weakening traits into our species because we can offset them with technological crutches. This fabrication means that we live in an existence that is nothing more than a larger version of Disney World, and just as superficial, driven by the rules of Monopoly. This means that we effectively do not exist as real beings any longer, and that implies that our spirits are prisoners being brainwashed and intoxicated with distractions. If we reside in a world of fabrication, so that we ignore our senses, so that instead of developing them in reference to reality, we mutate them in reference to the artificial, then we neglect spirit. How can anyone be spiritual in an artificial world of so many different types of walls? How can we be truly happy if we don’t even realize our true place and purpose? How do we make a spiritual shift, if our spirits are drunk on preoccupation instead of real purpose?
Reconnecting to reality begins with experiencing it. It begins with being outside, in the presence of the manifestation of universal truth, or, the Creator. It means acknowledging what is natural. But it is not a form of absolution, like going to church on Sundays in order to dump out a trashcan of sins so that you can spend another week filling it up again. You cannot simply hang-out outside and have a smoke, just to return to the death of the artificial world and expect to make spiritual strides. Developing spirit means developing the senses through developing awareness. There are far too many layers to Nature, thus, to ourselves, to believe that spirit can be satiated, fulfilled, accurately tuned by only acknowledging the uppermost layers. The deeper we delve into reality, means the more intimately we connect. Our senses will strengthen, and our bodies will follow. Intention elicits action which elicits wisdom and growth. In order to exercise the awareness, we need to enhance the senses, which means we need to begin to push physical boundaries and explore our potential. We need to integrate reason, thought, emotions, and actions so that as we gain awareness, we gain insight, which then pushes us to gain physical skill in order to go deeper. This is the course of life. It is progressive, and it causes us to develop temperance in order to grow. Ultimately, as we strive to find the peak potential of our spiritual connection through finding the peak performance of our senses and skills in reality, we come closer to Satori, to allowing the universe to completely infiltrate us until we find that there is no barrier any longer. This is not something we can embrace simply through speculation and understanding, for that is only part of the triad that creates the synergy. You cannot reach Satori by living in, relating to, and valuing the artificial. It is time to wake up.
