They call us what they are.

The United States, Britain, and France did not go to war with Hitler because he Socialized health care. No - we went to War because he had secret prisons, because he tortured the prisoners in those prisons and because he practiced genocide. We now have the rabid right attacking Obama’s health plan by comparing him to Hitler. We are told to follow the money when investigating crime, so I ...

A Whale of a difference

adibat — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:36:47 -0800

A Whale of a Difference When reading Orwell: ‘Inside the Whale’ I realized that acceptance was equivalent to ‘making no difference’. Are we to use our poetic powers for propaganda purposes? No! Therefore Henry Miller hits the mark – Bulls Eye. What does your existence have to say? Does it express pure joy or does it desperately seek self-aggrandizement. The latter ...

Dumbo’s Feather Dumbo flies through the air with his magic feather, unhindered by doubt, then he looses the feather, and no longer believes he can fly. He falls! The mouse must confess the lie, “It was not a magic feather! I tricked you! Believe in yourself - you can fly. Just try!” It is easy to conjure up fabulous talismans, ...

Musing on a New Years Eve

That infinitely small and omnipresent point - the totality of our being – is that illusive point in time we call 'now'. Now reaches out to grasp a possibility, recalling where it has been and why. The old seeks to realize the new – it is renewal. Two ever-changing factor try to merge divided by an unfathomable chasm which reason cannot breach. ‘Now’ is always becoming ‘then’ ...

Writing

I hack my way through the jungle of ideas, toward the shining city on the hill housing the Holy Grail, or perhaps a windmill dragon. The gnats of distraction dive into my eyes, the snakes of delusion curl round to choke me, the tiger of insecurity wants to devour me, and the monkeys of my ignorance mock me. Why not go back to the town of commonplace satisfactions and write homilies. Stop ...

Sacred Sexual Science

Sacred Sexual Science It is generally agreed that God is love. For the atheist I could reword it and say ‘Love is divine’. OK that said let me define my terms: For the common man God is something inconceivable in which to believe, but for the mystic God is the highest and inmost ideal. Love as defined by the dictionary is an intense feeling of attachment and affection. This leaves me ...

Freedom and Slavery

adibat — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 13:25:27 -0800

Freedom versus Slavery Freedom is choice; slavery is no choice but to do what you are told. Through out history people were enslaved to increase the freedoms of the privileged. Slavery is cheap labor and armies were found as the means to increase our slaves. We conquer a nation to steal its goods and enslave its people. This leads to gluttony and a weakening of the ruling class because with ...

Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves I saw the crumbling golden leaves of autumn and a terror grabbed my mind taking all other thought away – I the man of clay turned flesh and blood – I the man have limited time to do my will – I am not immortal – I will die. The thought took me: do we really long for death? Maybe life without death is even more horrifying – just having to live the same person at a ...

Prayer and Meditation

adibat — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 09:56:35 -0700

Meditation and Prayer A few observations from experience on the similarities and differences of the above. The first notion I wish to dispel from the beginning is the need for solemnity and reverence when entering these subjects. I believe my avatar expresses that I am not that sort of writer. The bible says “Make a Joyful noise unto the Lord” The Buddha states that, “The Buddha is ...

Economic Crisis

700 billion dollar bail out of the private sector – Socialism? No it is corporatism AKA Fascism. It is funding right-wingers and de-funding the left.Yes! an insidious fascist bloodless coup - a hollowing out of the democratic system – permanent counter-revolution.They want Obama to win so he can take the blame for the ensuing woes that will surely follow. Money is power and Bush has already ...
