Our society is locked in a battle between the synthetic and the organic.
'If a pickpocket meets a saint, he will see only his pockets'
Hari Dass Baba
Center everywhere, circumference nowhere
One Million Seconds is 11 and a half days...
One Billion Seconds is 32 and a half years...
One Trillion seconds is Thirty-two-thousand, five hundred years...
War is Over, If You Want It.....John Lennon
Some people see things as they are and say why--I see things that never were

Television must be a medium; because it isn't rare, and it's certainly not well done.
Knowledge is Power......Information alone is not Knowledge
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Never pet a burning dog.
If I'm not for me, who will be-- and if not now, when?
Luck is being ready.
Dont sweat the petty stuff, just pet the sweaty stuff.
Time keeps everything from happening at once.
Keep the company of those who seek the truth, and run from those who have 'found' it.
...and like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud capp'd
towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great
globe itself, Yea all which it inherit--
shall dissolve--And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff as dreams are
made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. (The Tempest;
Act IV, Sc. I)
The Dilemma of Circularity:
A forecast of dire future events is made for the purpose of bringing
about actions to avert that future. Having taken action and thus avoided
the gloomy prospect, we can never be sure that the forecast events would
have happened in the absence of that action.
There is a light that shines beyond
all things on Earth, beyond us all, beyond the heavens,
beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the
light that shines in our heart. Chandogya Upanishad
3.13.7
or this
'Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour, falls from the sky a
meteoric shower of facts......they lie unquestioned,
uncombined. Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
is daily spun; but there exists no loom to weave it
into fabric......'
