Transpersonal Philosophy

When the mind is serene
and the heart is flowering,
there is no fertile ground
for cynicism or arrogance.
Nor is there any space for ...
feeling inferior or unworthy.
The pure single undividable
Awareness is recognized as
That which is in/as everyone.
And That is the Tao which was
never born and will never die.

where were you when the world stopped turning?

stop worrying about whether your side wins

we should stop worrying about whether our side wins. what matters is whether humanity wins. we should stop worrying about whether the side that we like is the one that is victorious. we should instead worry about whether it is Jesus Christ that is victorious. people are crying. don't you care about their tears. unborn babies are dieing. don't you care about their blood? we are guilty. we have no room to judge anybody other than ourselves. give up and care about others.

Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

Meditation on the Day They Made Us Die

We do not hate anybody. We do not hate anybody at all. I do not know why they made us die on that horrible day so long ago. We are about to come up to the remembrance of that horrible day in September when we became the permanently dead. We will always been dead since then. I do not bring up these things because of any racism. I mourn the dead. The 11th murdered us. We can never raise from the dead ever.

Song of Solomon and Courtly 💘

Song of Solomon, also known as Canticles, is the Biblical story of courtly love, the relationship between a knight and his True 💘. In this case, the knight is Solomon and his nymph is a dark female known as the Shulamite woman. She is ashamed of her darkness. She is ashamed of her proletarian job. He is handsome and ruddy. One can easily think of Jacob or David here. Both were rugged men. One can also think of Pan, the pagan faun. Canticles is meant to be just that, spiritual hymns, or runic rhymes. Each Hebrew tune is meditated on individually. This mythic 💘 is taken down to form the tropes that define Dark Ages'legends. One even finds the language copied in Isiah and the Revellation.

We are not supposed to know why relationships exist

Yes, God made us to be social creatures, but merely because I can do something does not mean that I should. There are many things that you can do. This doesn't matter. You are merely yourself. You are not the person that you are interested in. You have no right to them. It doesn't matter if you attract them or not. They are not for you. Yes, God made relationships, but only as possible things. It doesn't mean that you have to have one. Dating involves temptation. This it should be avoided. Go ahead and just try to ask someone out. You will get sued and rightfully so.
