a bright spot

well after a fairly rough start to the week, i encountered a bright spot waiting on my doorstep at home. my Raichle Montagna boots have been repaired and resoled, and the new Vibram rubber looks like fun. we got lugs!

these boots have become like good, comfortable friends over the span of our currently thirteen year old relationship...and i'm looking forward to our upcoming foray into the Rockies.

Thanks to Cobbler Dave Page out of Seattle for the quality repair!

they just don't make boots like they used to...cliche but true.

age-worthy denotes efficient use of materials!!!

hopefully the resistance met today will yield learning for tomorrow.

the Efficienado movement

only a cohesive groundswell of ecologically-minded individuals can stand a chance of changing the course of destructive consumption occurring in the world today.

perhaps such education cannot be spread in time to stem the toxic backlash facing Earth's humanity.

as greedy producers chant, "Get ______ quick!" slogans, the population's addiction to the silver-bullet philosophy leaches production byproducts into our environment and leaves mounds of "attractive" packaging to fill our landfills and litter our oceans.

the aggressive consumption model derives from a blitzkrieg of information and advertisements that draw consumers into wasteful buying patterns.

for humanity to produce a functional alternative to such mass degradation of resources, it must first purge itself of aggressive individualism coupled with excessive feelings of entitlement.

the population must wrest back control of their minds in order to see the wasteland developing in the wake of greed.

Efficiency must be redefined to include calculations of health and well-being for all affected ecosystems and their members.

As Efficienados, the emerging conscious humans will recognize that while tool usage is responsible for their specie's survival, the supposed necessity of said tools must be weighed for all cultural and ecological impacts.

tools reducing ecological or individual health, directly or indirectly, should be either improved or eliminated.

Efficienados will consider their actions for all health benefits, either internal or external in kind. They will filter their consumptive behavior for wasteful purchases.

connoisseurs of efficiency will know that contentment is a product of inner balance displayed through external acts of conservation.

only such cohesive awareness may topple vestiges of greed.

neuronic shifts in awareness

self-realization occurs as a mental reflection upon the philosophical juxtaposition of your actions and the exterior world.

these tenuous boundaries determine the prime tenets in current neuronic resonance. the alignment of these tenet resonances with external truth act as anchors against the dangers of false perceptions and false projections.

awareness is constructed around core interconnected webs of knowledge that traverse the brain's lobes amidst sparks of sensory perception.

shifts in awareness are necessary to gain a more complete understanding.

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.

changing tides

humanity may one day learn to swallow its ego but until then it is up to us as individuals to harness the life blessed us through recognition of the innate symbiotic nature of our existence.

nothing exists in a vacuum, humans are no exception.

your digestive tract relies upon a symbiotic relationship with independent intestinal microbiota and these types of relationships abound and bind the natural living world.

if we are to believe that our species evolved from this planet, we must recognize and understand the implications of unchecked resource consumption and population growth propagated by humans.

would be funny if humans scratched and scrawled all the way up the species chain only to decimate their environment for vanity's greed-ful sake...cosmically funny of course.

wake up and breath brethren, we are all here together sharing this air, drinking this water and tilling this soil.

decode your existence through
the media absorbed throughout your life.

who are you without l'accoutrement?

we have sacrificed savage nobility of the wild for posturing and preening in concrete jungles

...yet growing in depth and understanding is the need for balance within the human consciousness.

as a male i recognize the often brutal history of patriarchal dominance and believe that our specie's evolution requires a new mode of man. a man who seeks balance internally and externally.

men who can swallow their pride in order that they may learn from any situation. men who reason out that love leads the most balanced way of living.

the nouveau man recognizes that attention leads often to consent, and thus he guards his thoughts, paying close attention to the surrounding sources of information for lies and truth.

these evolved men are unafraid of leading with integrity and will forgo their dignity for love's sake.

the primary projection

under rock and foot, complexity requires symbiosis

perceptions collected in the mind and body are filtered through levels of ego

anthropomorphic projections distort reality
thereby clouding its assessment

the primary projection of self lies

at the edges of your perception

consult the vagueness at the boundaries of your

consciousness, were you

to shake the apathy from your awareness

never act half-cocked

always seek the half-understood

Have Purpose, Be Purpose

Heard above the din, a piercing lightness fills our beings with
life awareness.

Such awareness is free to construe perceptions into
patterns of attention.

Attention is the neural frequency concentration about any one or set(s) of subjects. Attention can easily be confined about a "rut" set of thoughts manifested in action.

Mental/Physical ruts frame world-views.

How you choose to frame the piercing lightness inhabiting your genes, determines your place amongst humanity?

have purpose, be purpose
