is there spirit hovering just below the surface

"Your body is your temple, your one and only temple. You are living in the holy places of the tabernacle of the most high" Midnite, Love the Life You Live

heart of water

origination, 2009

the chords of life are played according to water's lesson

life's cohesion depends upon the water present

water's solvent meters toxicity
either self or externally applied

water of life, an ancient code of respect
for a powerful resource

...speaks of sub-quantum waves traveling nothingness,
emanating probabilities across infinity

blessings abound of life-giving qualities,
plucking causal strings the heart of water beckons love

pyramid of paragon

in the shine of the eyes, love may be amplified with patience

for in the waiting, perspectives may change
possibly for the wiser.

as windows to life's creative soul, the light of love shining
in your eyes is a directive.

as communal animals we must recognize
that external visions are mirrored inward!

love protects it is not weak.

love is strong and decisive.

love is in action and put it into action we must.

The stifling social rigidity of the pre-sixities created a bubble bursting with drug-infused notions of free love. Love is not free, love requires dedication.

a core tenet of survival directives,
humans respond to love's beacon

build a paragon life following love's direction.

as love begets love, unlove begets unlove

ladder up

seeking control is dangerous because power easily corrupts the mind's calculation of self.

control must be harnessed by love to produce truth consistent.

hanging on cliff ledges in your mind's bioneuronic arena is good for conceptional balance.

listen to the lilting voices of children and hear the innocence

adults' reflected conceptions upon children set forth mental frame works offering some world-view. in such things, humans must realize and admit the power that love has to grow balanced world-views.

give praise to the life that created a version of you amongst the human consciousness experiment in order to seek the evolution of the species.

give way

turn the mirrors inward were you to find the fallacies wandering around in your consciousness

there lies a root supplying every thought

some thought-roots are planted in rocky sharp soils, others in luscious loam

remember: it matters not the growing conditions, the spirit is always willing

depth is breadth of thought... meaning the more inclusive the mind's web of thoughts, the more balance is needed, thus the greater the stability to be had by a deep consciousness

it would be better to ask about the breadth of one's understanding rather than his or her depth...it would be more accurate and more lucid

uncork the flow of genetic creativity, free the mind of individual growing conditions no matter how easy or difficult they were/are

shake out your fears and be confident that all humans feel their spirit calling amongst the clatter & clutter of their lives

listening is accomplished in the mind

your decisions must be firm

applause for no one

wonderful animosity floating through my mind, carrying me lightly across a landscape of thought

will naked in the silence gives up its secrets slowly

all this constant chatter clutters the mental landscape with frameworks of ego

i hear death whispering in my dreams, saying hope must be cradled gently to extract the sweet nectar of life

projecting ever ahead, anchored in the constant now

love's call beckons me deeper

mental health

Communication is key to reasoning’s web of knowledge. Communication travels as waves traveling like whales, breaching and diving below the surface into the subconscious.

Lines of communication maintain their health by clearing the path with truth. Lies weaken the lines, threatening their health, clogging their paths.

The health of the conscious and sub-conscious minds is played out across memory webs in the brain. Both your waking and dreaming minds matter to your mental health and thus consequentially to your overall health.

Within your webs of memory a construct of reality is built resulting in your worldview.

Pain results from the access of memories filled with false perceptions of reality.

Take care of your health, soothe the pain of eroded communication by aligning your thoughts and actions with truthful realities about your existence.

You must root out falsehoods in memory's web, making them strong and flexible. Your dreams must not be disregarded.

Love is the barometer you must use to shed light on truthful paths.

star power

on the other side of the tracks is nothing
there is no glory, no accomplishment, just nothing

losing your way you may feel it necessary to think yourself worthless and beyond measure but such things are foolish worldviews built on foundations of sand.

nothingness is the bedrock of existence upon which you should build strong foundations. let not your spirit be tainted by hatred and lies if you would find happiness.

you have nothingness to fear so stand strong, find your inner power and stoke its fires with bites of truth and morsels of understanding, wash them all down with love.

you must first learn to love thyself to start upon your inner journey.

be free from passive voices and distant actions, take up your education with vigor.

hear all voices but let the background symphony of truth light your way. the inward journey is haunted with ancient fears but the rewards of the passage are beyond measure.

breathe deep and harness your strength to seek peace to be free.

to the hip cats out there:

our economy relies upon the sale of resources. as consumption increases, resources are sold at higher premiums. greed results in inflation.

a capitalist society based upon taking more than it needs is doomed. question is, can we do anything to stop its failure, its destruction?

love is the only way out. all other forms of thought-in-action have failed to produce universal happiness. the philosopher's stone has been rubbed many ways, each one producing some methodology of living together. some have sought raw unadulterated power via force, some have sought power via the control of resources and others have sought power via mind control.

resources gird the entire market.

love is resource respect in action. all else is foolishly inefficient and completely non-sustainable.

sustainable efficiency has the highest rate of survival among living creatures on earth.

are you hip to the blessings of love?

freedom is but an philosophy of love in action. evolution requires a successful understanding of coexistence.

the melding of mind, body and spirit of life will yield the truest expression of genes and can only be found in the proper respect for the verb coexist.

let's evolve.
evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve,

We are all Beginners

It's all about what you do not what you say. ~Midnite

Watching the sun speak through the clouds, the morning opens and breathes deep the breathe of life.

Illuminating the presence of living truth the sun kisses the earth and her waters, demanding the respect of all living plants and creatures.

Life on earth is a cacophonic-harmony of senses focused in organs such as ears, eyes, noses, mouths, and protective coverings of skin and/or hair.

You are a beginner of something as we all are. We are but individuals confined in a unique genetic imprint, we can't know how to do everything and as such are beginners at something.

In this knowledge lies the steady path of the humble.

Humility is bounded by underlying respect for internal conditions and external choices.

Be confident in your abilities if you have given your best and yet remain always as a beginner on the path to enlightenment.

What is evil?

Economics tremble under the weight of a heavy management.

Management-heavy companies require certain amounts of greed to operate.

Cheaper production tends to occur in areas of less environmental-impact oversight.


Top-heavy corporations are prone to bending the environmental rules to satisfy their investors.

Governmental subsidization of such companies is tantamount to environmental poisoning and any purchasing done from them is the willing admittance of toxic chemical buildup in the consumer and citizen.

Which begs the question: are you buying your cancer?

Cancer is simply the accumulation of carcinogens that disrupt the system balance to the point of sparking a cellular wildfire. As greedy corporations expand across the globe, the list of known human carcinogens keeps increasing. Allowing corporations,who spew toxic by-products into the environment, to exist via subsidization or patronage is an economic policy leading to heavy expenses and excessive state oversight.

Economics is a political-science which should seek to assist in the healthy living of those it serves because unhealthy living incurs extra expenses upon the state which in turn drives taxes up and/or the country into debt.

Economic policy should foster the development of low-environmental impact companies in order to improve the health of its constituents and lighten the financial load of the state.

In this way prices are driven down and competition begins to thrive in the private individual business sectors, which fosters community and social accountability.

Financial freedom of its citizens is a symptom of state economic policy.

The US is riddled with debt topping $9,126,284,450,762 as of today, averaging $28,412 per person.

Economic political-science must support the well-being of its citizens through the protection from unhealthy corporations. Assisting socially-responsibly companies leads to healthy grow and sustainable competition.

Letter from blue whale tribe

In the cold depths we have traveled throughout the ages, while your kind is a recent development.

For many years the creatures of this earth have flourished by their own means, but now your dominance is slowly exterminating us all.

Our ancient songs have always been filled with the knowledge that all creatures receive the life blessings of water.

The toxic products of your wealth are poisoning the life-giving waterways covering our earth.

Learn to be rich in spirit and devoid of possessions.
This is the way of the Spirit of Life.

Our thoughts stretch back in time beyond the humans' obsession with self and have found that within the irony of paradoxes are their answers found.

Now you stand upon the brink of ecosystem crash and the irony is that while you have the capacity to reason us back into balance, you allow yourself to be blinded through the obsession with reflections of self.

Self-obsession is the paradox you face.

Should you choose to blind your reason, the creatures that cannot adapt to the chemical changes will die off and those that can will mutate accordingly.

Humans have brought significant changes and may cause a system-wide crash of life on earth, all the while retaining the solution of their salvation in their heads.

Complacency

It is too easy to become complacent with developed patterns to such an extent that you simply overlook the damage being done.

Claiming ignorance will never wash away the stains of truth. Take a shining example of a faith white-washed in greed, seen most recently in the media spotlight under the heading mega-church corruption.

The revered Reverand Creflo Dollar, (are you kidding me, this guy's name is Dollar? you can't write comedy this good.) told the Senate, "Without a doubt, my life is not average, but I'd like to say, just because it is excessive doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong."

"Doesn't necessarily mean that it's wrong?" Hmm, pardon me Mr. Dollar, you must be under the fairly narrow-minded assumption that the world is here for your taking. If I'm not mistaken isn't it easier for a CAMEL to go through the eye of a NEEDLE, than it is for a rich man to enter heaven?

But I digress, complacency is an unseen virus that enters your life on the back of accepted ignorance.

Sorry, but reading the ingredient labels is the equivalent of making yourself right with whatever divine being you believe in. If you don't understand what you are ingesting but choose to do so anyway, that's called ignorant behavior.

Ignorant behavior allows a certain amount of complacency to squeeze into your life.

If you don't believe me, simply look at the ever-expanding human waistline and increasing rate of diabetes. These are simple facts which seem to allude most people mainly because they want to avoid inconveniencing themselves with silly consequences.

Get angry, get sad, get upset, cry, laugh, just do something to stoke the fires of creativity that are smoldering inside. Within the fires of creative self you may find the refiner's fire of truth.

Democracy is failing: a treatise

Due to governmental failure, a fatal flaw in the United State's ideology of democracy has occurred.

If the government is here to serve the interests of all, then any way it knowingly facilitates the financial gain of a select few, either corporate or private, is in direct conflict with its claimed modus operandus.

An efficient government is an effective government. The government has lost operational efficiency by becoming unwieldly and over-burdened. It employs too many people and is broke.

A government should be light and efficient, responding quickly and effectively to the call of its people. The government should employ highly intelligent leaders who know how to trim the ranks through the removal of all broken or unnecessary lines of communication.

A true democracy employs officials who don't rely on the opinions of lobbyists because they themselves are out there surveying their districts, taking polls to the people and giving power to their voices.

The point of electorate terms of service is to make sure the office is performing at its best. The corruption of politicians to corporations results in a perpetual infusion of election capital ($), through which they can remain in office to reap the rewards of certain kickbacks.

The treasury of the government should be able to pay for any necessary travel during the elected official's service terms, meaning that anytime a corporation pays for travel, the elected official should be charged with treason.

Sound too harsh? Consider that the corporation has no reason to sponsor a politician unless it wants him or her to pass or affect the passing of legislation in its financial favor. Therefore the intention is always biased; and by allowing the corporation to court the governmental official, he or she has committed treason by allowing a leg up to a select few individuals over the majority of voices.

Treason is disloyalty to the will of the people through subversive behavior. Corruption is by nature subversive and disloyal to the cause of democracy.

The signs are clear.

The unwieldly nature of a government who commit hundreds of billions to a war started under the guise of WMD's, while there exist schools on its own soil who cannot afford the tools necessary to learn.

The way corporate business has been allowed to run rampant across the countryside while small independent businesses fold under the pressure of cheap imports.

The pollution of resources through relaxed standards is tantamount to subsidized poisoning.

Democracy is failing in its current form and the problem lies in the lack of clarity surround its intent. Is democracy here to protect its citizens’ freedom through the endorsement of a few?

Since the government seems unable or unwilling to educate its masses about the state of its corruption, we are thus responsible if it fails to protect the freedom of the masses from corporate take-over.

The hyper-exploitation of resources at home or abroad via corporate behavior is unacceptable and threatens to wipe out all diversity, in order to fulfill the financial satisfaction of boardroom investors.

Hyper-exploitative behavior seeks to remove required resources by any means necessary. It is the government's job to pay attention to the necessities of its people, not the necessities of a corporate boardroom.

The government must allow small independent businesses the same rights and privileges it allows corporations, because corporate interests are poisoning our food, water and air, thereby limiting our rights to pursue a healthful life.

Your dollars matter. Where you spend your dollars dictates the life and death of a corporation. Unfortunately at this stage, cheap imports have eroded the value of your money, but your patronage can make a difference. Corporations who are allowed to toxify the environment must die from the lack of our collective patronage.

In this way, we the citizens, spark an economic fire under the businesses who are protecting our best interests. Those whose manufacturing and sales procedures respect the natural balance of the available resources and seek to leave no damaging traces in the ecosystem.

Your patronage matters and your voice matters.

Your education and the education of your fellow citizens is crucial to the volume of our collective voice through the strength it gives to your decision making process.

The amount and type of information your brain receives is crucial to the patronage of your mind into action; meaning, beware of advertisements asking you to buy products made through questionable business practices.

You must educate yourself about the goods you purchase lest you endanger your health directly or indirectly.

You must find your voice because our democracy is failing, leading us to certain doom.

Make no mistake, the control of international resources under the guise of diplomacy will not go unnoticed forever. Our seas are being fished to extinction and we extract sludge from the earth to power the machines of industry and progress.

There are not a lot of happy notes out there because as resources dwindle, the machines of money and progress must become more aggressive to maintain their profit margins.

We are at a crucial time where at some point our patronage will no longer be able to save us and as our ecosystems crumble, our well-being will crumble.

Now our monies and our collective voice must turn back the tide of political corruption and sever destructive corporations from our eyes, ears and veins.

We must turn away from petty wars of greed and pride and face the fact that all our futures are intertwined. We must face the fate created over the span of human history.

The human obsession with individuality leads to delusional worldviews in which the human mind reasons that resources are not finite and that actions have no consequences.

Humans are only here by the grace of the Sun and the blessings of Mother Earth.

Poisoning the land, water and air to improve the financial margins is despicable behavior of the
ignorant mind.

Consuming resources at non-sustainable rates is a deliverable death-warrant issued to the ecosystems which sustain human life.

These are all things which the government should be monitoring and controlling for the sake of its people.

We must join together to steer our fate away from the brink of destruction. We must collectively take the helm of our government.

Politicians are our employees and must follow the directions of our collective voice.

Businesses live and breath through our patronage. We should evaluate the business practices of all those who receive the lifeblood of our monies. Collectively we can choose which businesses are allowed to live and which businesses must die.

The lambs find strength in their unity.
