Can we stop these callous monsters?

i think that if we can all give up TV, credit cards, automobiles, and cell phones it will help immensely. i have and feel no regret.

That is a start at least.

All projections aside. Trust no future, however pleasant. Remain humbly in the present, and move to the rhythm of Cosmic Intelligence.

i would like to present to my brothers and sisters something i experience. This experience is grounded in a world-view that might require, for some, a suspension of preconceptions. This world-view comes from the ancient Vedas.

abundance of chaos
darkness surround
blind running
until death arrives

are you confused?
or convinced?
do you know where
you will arrive?

do you believe
anyone knows?
what…
do you know?

can you submit
to the intelligence
that flows through
you and me and all?

why or why not?
or stop questioning?

Mom and dad were agnostics, more or less. Their parents went to catholic churches, and they took us to church when we were young, but they let us make up our own minds about it. This dynamic gave us a chance to see from the inside without the dogma filter.

i write this as a gesture of friendship, nothing else. It is my effort to share with you what i think the near future holds for us. i’m quite sure that most people, including those who participate in this on-line community, will not agree with me. That’s okay.
