They say pay no mind to the understanding that we are a vile species that the earth would do well to shrug off, to exterminate like the fat bloated oil sucking ticks we are. They say that understanding leads only to self-loathing and despair.
They say pay no mind to the understanding that our brand new god Technology is even now failing us in irretrievable destruction and death. They say that understanding leads only to anger and despair.
They say pay no mind to the understanding that we have slain all other gods and regard ourselves as post-Christian and post-modern and post-post-modern and post anything else that anyone thinks of. They say that understanding leads only to no legs to stand on and despair.
They say pay no mind to the understanding that all is fair game for conversion into money and personal power and lubrication of self. They say that understanding leads only to jumping into the feeding frenzy and the endless pursuit of stupor and despair.

Go back to bed. Your government is keeping you free. No need to pay any attention at all. You are free, free to do what we tell you, free to do what we tell you. You are free. Go back to bed America. Go back to bed." ~ Bill Hicks
The breeze at dawn
Has secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep
You must ask
For what you really want
Don't go back to sleep
People are going back and forth
Across the doorsill
Where the two worlds touch
The door is round and open
Do not go back to sleep
Rumi

Yep, we're trying to kill The Living God while we are told to worship wholeheartedly Mammom. Many forget that Jesus was a materially poor, homeless man. The Zen monks are told to embrace their poverty. Having "no mind" leads one to salvation and the true wealth of the world. But many would nevermind that bit of wisdom...
ReplyDeleteThanks George!
As always, I appreciate the wisdom shown through this blog. Sometimes despair and stupor are all too easy for me to fall into. It is so easy to work up some good righteous indigntion over "them" and what they are doing to "us" but never realizing that when we do that, we have fallen prey to our ego's endless appetite for drama.
ReplyDeleteEmbrace without resistance...
Cast aside your judgement...
Avoid clinging to indignation...
Open to what Is.
