On the next day of Christmas

Greetings,

My true love gave me:

compressed gases,

flammable, non flammable,

poisonous ideas, corrosives,

acids, an extinct volcano,

dresden dolls in matching outfits,

an eviction votive candelabra,

genetically modified food, 

the time of day,

a recycled Chinese ideogram,

a punctuation symbol,

alkalis and wet cell batteries,

etilogic agents,

oxidizing materials, 

explosive bacteria,

viruses,

mutant fireworks,

flares,

a radio active box of chocolates,

a book of poetry from the reality zone,

and dark energy

Happy giving.

Metta.

MK 63

Greetings,

"What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence." - Wittgenstein

MK 63 contains a story-letter about where I live and what I do. It is a snapshot, a quick mental and verbal picture of Amnesia, a real magical place where children, some at least, understand that whining is boring.

Fact: spoiled pampered children learn whining behavior works with servants because they can manipulate them.

The podcast also contains information-data and universal instructions on how I become a butterfly. 

Happy listening. 

Metta.

Neural Buddhists

Greetings,

"The phrase "neural Buddhists" calls up the ways in which the conclusions of modern neuroscience and a collection of ancient meditation practices developed in Asia have come to similar experiential and empirical conclusions about a number of things, including the ultimate nonexistence of the individual self or surface social ego. Such ideas, of course, are part of a much broader interest in "mysticism" and "spirituality," themselves, perhaps ironically, markers of that quintessentially modern and eminently democratic turn to the individual as the most reliable source of religious authority and insight." more...

Aldous Huxley. Brave New World. Doors of Perception. Island.

Masks.

Smile Shutter

Greetings,

As the lazy crazy hazy days of Christmas past and present approach, you will be pleased beyond words to know your Smile Shutter has been activated. 

This automatic facial feature allows you and strangers, the Other, to perceive, imagine and realize clarity. 

Two fish are swimming.

One fish turns and asks, "How's the water?"

Later the other fish turns and says, "What the hell is water?"

Smile shutter. Click. Squeeze gently. Open your aperture. Let in the light. All of it.

Tonight is the largest full moon of the year. Dancing in the light.
