Regeneration;
Acceleration
This new world knows the path i've taken,
The path of freedom
Fighting against those who condemn this nation,
only together can we truly overcome and transcend.
The answer to these questions is around the bend,
My old soul proceeds me but my knowledge relieves me
My one goal,
To spread that knowledge to my peers
and tell them that there is nothing to fear
Escaping into pools of my internal vision
to make sense of it all,
casuses a collision.
Reading in betweeen lines,trying to buy more time.
Only time is an illusion,and the third eye time zone rules my conscious retribution
to the lies i have been taught all my life.
Take it straight from the corporate lion's mouth,
and tell them we now know just what they are about.
Well, I’ve decided it’s time to start sharing my experiences with people because we are in need of knowledge, understanding and truth. I’m doing this with the utmost respect, humility and passion for the experiences and gifts given to me. I’m also doing it now because it’s frantically screaming to be heard!
Everywhere you look, you can see things are changing….the world itself is changing. Every aspect of the human experience on this blue marble we call Earth is transforming into something both novel and ancient. The universe, or should we say Reality, is in a constant state of flux…a continuous state of be-ing and become-ing. Permanence is relative.
I don't know about any of you out there, but I'm afraid to die. I wish I could be like all the other young adults in my life who claim they aren't afraid to die, or the many more who don't really think it will happen (well, I'd rather not be them, but it would make things a lot easier. I suppose the most important aspects/experiences of life aren't by any means easy).
For Those Who Think
- that poetry is a useless encumbrance
they have to wade past while ignoring
furiously, lest they become changed
or enlightened by mere words.
Or, heavens forfend! Become
empathic with a strangers'
point of view.
I will quote briefly from:

If you have never heard of TOOL give this song a try. The message of the song is apparently "Transcendance", they base the rhythm of the song and the lyrics on the Fibonacci sequence, and teach us to embrace the spiral the sequnce creates. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS7CZIJVxFY
About a month ago I was preparing a streaming video player for an event at work. During downtime, the player streams old content from Michigan Television (public TV at U of M that has now been closed).
So I'm an undergraduate college student in Portland, Oregon. I go to a private institution called Lewis & Clark. This institution is polarized like everything else: it has its purities and illusions, its demons and angels, its devils and gods, its materiality and its spirituality.
For hundreds of thousands of years, sacred practices were developed by traditional cultures to connect people to each other, the earth, the sky, the spirit world, etc. in a way that gave them a sense of place in the cosmos.
If something is deemed sacred it’s treated with respect, it’s engaged in ritualistically, and it’s done with full presence and undivided attention.
Hippie, wu-wu, crystal worshipper, new-ager, wing-nut, health nut; for most of my life these damning labels shaped my attitude towards the holistic movement. It wasn't until recently that I became passionate about many things I was so intent on laughing off in the past.
Struck by a spark of light,
I am stepping into infinity, a circle closing in upon itself.
I am waking here in a dark hall of mirrors; there are few guiding lights.
I am haunted by the darkness,
But breaking free at last.
I peer out to see myself reflected, and reflected, and reflected,
But I am no longer a mirror:
This is a piece I wrote that got a lot of attention on the front page of daily kos, regarding the comparisons of President Obama with Hitler that have been cropping up in the mainstream media lately.
Below is a link to a playlist I've created on youtube. I've called it Out of the Box because that is the red thread running through the very varied videos, ranging from poetry to university lectures and TED talks. Among the persons on the videos are Robert Anton Wilson, Alan Watts, Terrence Mckenna, Karmapa, Andrew Cohen, Ken Wilber, Ervin Lazslo, Francisco Varela and many many more.
So, sometimes weird, intuitive connections come to me, the problem is I don't always know exactly how to explain them, but, in some cases I just put out what I know and see what others have to say about it. So here goes. This little blog or whatever deals with snakes, mostly metaphorical ones... Anyway.
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
