Vacation

Right now I'm drinking some jack from my fish flask. People are singing and playing with the fiddle behind me in this aweosme montreal apartment.

I'll post pics when I can.


Love.

Welcome back Spring, now updated!!

I've Updated this post by adding this sweet poster collection I ran into while looking for reference on eyeballs.



Fantastic animation about the end of the world. Courtesy of David and Laurent Nicolas of Partizan Lab

Also here's a nifty little toy
Essentially it is the Photoshop dropper tool in real life.



And here is a nasty little gallery of hilarious art.

Ok, so I've finished reading the following books

The Universe is a Green Dragon
by Brian Swimme

Befriending the Earth
By Thomas Berry with Thomas S.J.

Gaia
by J.E. Lovelock

The Universe Story
By Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry



Here's a picture inspired by this work that I've completed.


These books were a lot to take in, and I feel the better for going through them. I've learned about the big picture of the organization/process that has bought us to the now. About how it is our resposibility to be aware of this story which we are a part of. No matter how many religions and perspectives, they are all one story with one source leading up to us.
I've also gone to watch V for Vendetta and Syriana within the weekend and I've been left with a mind that is spinning and questioning of the world, though these products of imaginations can be reffered to as celluloid distractions they too carry the message.
Everything does, every atom has the one story within, our bodies and waste.

We cannot ignore our evolution, we must be mindful of our actions and choices. The time will come when the horror of the world will fully stand before us and we must remember who we are. No matter how bad it gets, there is always a way.


I found these works to be very reassuring that no matter what the process continues. They also remind me of the hermetic teachings, "above as below."
Change yourself and the world will follow. Opstimistic? Perhaps.
I still believe in my power. In the power of ideas.

Just reading about how the universe formed, how it developped from hopelessness to miracles.
We are all in it together, lets not fight it. We can all get out together, out of our lies.
Freedom through knowlede, knowledge from within.
We can't be alone, ever.

Let our wish be the wish of the earth. Let us look and partake in communion within.

From a chat

the thing is, apperently conciousness can be explained as a quantum process

perhaps the satori is coming into contact with the eternal pool of the quantum world

where there is a void of everything and everywhen

a real contradiction and we're the harvesters

drawing lines in this sand

deciding what is real and what isnt?

yes

a little job given to us

does this go into why you wanted handwriting?

yes

everthing I believe in goes in that

its still hard to categoraze the sublime I find

I like the theories and thoughts, fruits of the imagination

but the real is unseen

and untold

I can grasp, but sometimes you just have to stand there

I think there are idea-creatures powered by the intent of us. like mirrors of mercury waiting to tell us the secrets we already know

and any supernatural visitor or god just comes and holds a mirror to everything

the great fear that it is us after all

by us, I don't mean to say just us humans

we're the expression, that has the gift of understanding

gift-curse type deal

we took the bite of the apple

now we know, and we know a lot

and I'm rambling about what you already know.

The green flame within

Yesterday came and I spent the sunset in a hidden swingset, going up into the blue and down into the snow covered bricks and glass. On my walk home I studied the perspective of my enviroment, thought about what to do with my gift.
I have a constant worry in the back of my neck, that I am wasting my potential with the mundane. That my dreams will dillute in the concrete and I will be sick and asleep, wrapped in plastic.

I refuse to give in, to let my insides fall out. I worry about what's to be done in the world of tomorrow, but I squander my moment. I have things to do, things I neglect. Books I promised I would read, pictures and stories to be told. I know that I have to focus on my promises before I can move on.

I will do what needs to be done, then take on the next. One step at the time.


Here's a round up of interesting links I've come across.

Mandala creation, by tibetan monks.
they carefully create the mandala with sand, the intricate designs contain meme-deites, much like the geometrical contructs of the psychedelic.

Reflecting the divine, one grain of sand at the time.

Looking for something to listen to while surfing the lower rings of the self aware net?
How about the soothing voice of Terrence Mckenna telling you about the machine elves and psilocybin?

Here it is in the Psychedelic Salon.

last but not least, when you're feeling down, sometimes the simplest of advice can really make a difference. Bypass the contemporary cynicism by gazing onto these beautiful pieces of love.
Good advice!



That's it for today.
Please leave a comment if you stumbled across this, I'd like to know who's looking in.

But I can prove you worng cos I'm right first time,

And I'll make my stand,
We were born to be princes of the universe.
