True Education

"if we lose all the universities in the world, we'd lose nothing. But if we lose the forests we'll lose everything."

It only takes one song to put me at peace: to carry me back to a place of innocence, to dispel my infantile yearnings for attention and praise, to cease worrying about crossing the threshold into manhood, to hush my discomfort, to extinguish fear of rejection, a song plays, soothing me.

A song that brings with it a silent reflection: one that is static, still, pulsing with growth that could mushroom within a heartbeat.

The chimes are magical, like faerie dust.

Maybe it's true, that free societies only occurred when the people had the same advancement in technology and weaponry as their government. Who knows really what freedom is?

There is a freedom within and a freedom without; there is a god within, and a god without, and we shmemina between them.

Eureka!

One revolution at a time.

My father told me the revolution is in the mind, but the mind also shackles.
No idea stands alone; and niether does any fool. The foolhardy will always infilitrate the unified cosnciousness we all desire. In certain ways, the fools got it right; there's truth in every perspective.

The fools love to be with other fools and they experience the group mentality in ways that I wish I could experience at times.

And that's the wrinkle in the whole fabric, he'd say.

Acceptance is a tool we must never forget. I think it's the fools, or the sheeple, who do so well in accepting reality. I know we've been tampered with but still...
There is good, there is evil, but there is also transcendence.

But really, really, it's all energy.

For as Mollison points out, oil is not efficient in production of energy - 50-75% is lost in heat.
Does nature infiltrate consciousness? It has made its way into our lives and dominates our economy. It has made us blind to the destruction it can cause in seeking it. Just look what happened in the gulf recently...it's supposed to be spawning season for the shrimp, but who knows how many will spawn now. Redfish, oysters, yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, tons of birds, and fisherman are all being affected. And yet, there are those fools still willing to support offshore drilling.

It's all our own doing. We are center to the process. It's people's greed and limited foresight, and fear to change that all contribute to their insistence on using oil; participating in a system that is tragic by nature because convenience and control is the highest priority.

As long as we live there will be problems.

But now is the time to act.

Why the fixation? Why the general obsession of human beings?

Why is it so much harder to problem solve?

I suppose it doesn't help to look at problems abstractly.

Each problem requires special considerations, reflection, and an uncanny focus.

I sure hope we start to focus in prevention of future disasters now instead of letting oil companies continue causing irreparable damage. Otherwise, we'll be without forests.
