Terence McKenna - “I believe that the lost secret of human emergence..the undefined catalyst that took a very bright monkey and turned that species into a self-reflecting dreamer..that catalyst has to be sought in these alkaloids in the food chain that were catalyzing higher states of intellectual activity.”
People demonstrate to draw attention to collective issues. The whole point of public display of disapproval (protests, rallies, strikes, sit ins, teach ins, Occupations) is to spotlight collective issues in hopes of having public opinion sway the making of policy.
[video on bottom] We were saying yesterday morning how the world is broken up, divided through nationalism, which is really a form of tribalism; how religions have divided man, with their dogmas, with their beliefs, with their superstitions, illusions; how human beings have created sects, each one believing that they are going to lead mankind to a different kind of physical world and a so-called
Will you say 'yes to peace' and align with peacemakers Feb 04. 12 rather than non-action, as the U.S. and Israel beat drums of war with Iran? http://wp.me/pWDrY-SN
What the Godlike powers that our current technology have created for us demand (beyond a Godlike love, as was mentioned in the last essay) is a complete and total understanding of thought.
Many "evolutionaries" recognize the great change that's needed, usually citing social, economic and environmental crisis as evidence; yet they then promote a "solution" that ignores their own participation in the root source of all those problems.
The Internet and technology as they are today are giving us Godlike powers of perception and action: Digital Natives are the first generation of young adults to be endowed with them.
New political system: a multipolar self-balancing model of government of 5 independent political parties with the movable centre joint decisions would put an end to ideological enmity and consolidate society. http://www.modelgovernment.org/en/
Initially caterpillar’s immune system perceives Imaginal Cells of emerging butterfly as a threat and attacks them, similar to police brutality under corporate rule, as extreme deception and economic manipulation are unveiled worldwide.
I just wanted to share an article that was published on the Reality Sandwich site roughly 2 months ago. As someone who is currently confronting many of the issues discussed in this article, I think "A Declaration of Psychedelic Studies" by Neşe Lisa Şenol does a great job of making a case for the inclusion of psychedelic studies within the greater setting of academia.
Making a forest garden is definitely for people who like to experiment in Nature.
If you like straight rows and garden produce that everybody knows, then maybe it's not for you. Although there are plenty of books on the subject, creating this kind of garden is a continual, creative work in process.
I wanted to take a brief moment to share with the community a recent documentary & accompanying site that some of you may very well have already come into contact with. If not, I cannot possibly recommend both the film and site enough as we strive for a brighter future.
The earth can be seen as a meta-organism composed of super-organisms, such as human beings. We host somewhere between 2000-2500 different species, most of which reside in our guts. Females have more diversity than males, and those extra species tend to live in the birth canal where one of their functions is to coat babies as they are born.
I offer this blog to counterbalance my other: a rather heavy pronouncement about the reality-illusion that we are in. And I offer it because it is precisely at times like this that it is most important to celebrate. The energy of celebration sustains and nourishes us through the awakening process and is a reflection and an extension of our divinity.
In the beginning God created heaven and earth. According to religious enthusiasts, this was only 6000 years ago. ‘He’, basing this on the artists impression of the man with the bushy white beard, made everything in only 7 days. After 6 days of saying ‘let there be light, let there be dark, let there be trees, let there be bananas’ etc, he had a sit down and had a bit of a rest.
A 30 minute Youtube-documentary about the demonstration on the 15th of October in Vienna, and why people where there. All interviews made in in English, speeches etc have subtitles in English. ENJOY!
