We need less corruption and more kindness and honesty...

How do we change the mind's of self-centered business people and drunken and drug-addled people? How do we get more of the people on the streets to do what is right and just with an understanding of compassion and not selfishness or for payoffs? How do we get ill gotten and deceptive gossip to end?

64 dollar question folks? Get this one right and you get the girl and the sunset...

Consciousness Speaks...

..."and what is our body other than an object, as seen through an electron-scanning microscope with its tremendous magnification? Even as it exists at present and based on an intelligent projection, on what the microscope has already revealed, the body appears as really nothing but emptiness and certainly not a solid object. Furthermore, deep within this emptiness, the subatomic physicist tells us, is a nucleus which, being an oscillating field begins to dissolve, showing further organized fields--protons, neutrons, and even smaller particles, each of which also dissolves into nothing but the rhythm of the universal pulse. In other words, there is no solidity at all, either at the most sublime level of the body or at the heart of the universe. The compact nucleus at the very heart of the atom, then, is nothing solid at all but rather a dynamic individual pattern of concentrated energy throbbing and vibrating at an incredible speed."

Vibrations

We are at a certain vibrational point at an atomic level.
Our brains fire in musical patterns.
When our brain's neural patterns fire, and we move, does that make sound or does sound cause movement?

In Playboy I always read the articles to make sure I'm not missing the punchline.

thoughts

..."what appears is merely a kind of reflection of that basic ground, call it Consciousness-at-rest, God, or whatever. Seeing the oneness, not only in the manifestation but the oneness between the manifest and the unmanifest, is all that is really meant by enlightenment. Once the individual thinks in terms of his individuality, forgetting this oneness, not only between the manifest and the unmanifest, but the manifestation as a whole, then he begins to think in terms of personal security. Once he begins to think in terms of personal security, he creates any number of problems for himself. So, at that level, the first step in the understanding of the individual is the fact that there can be no such thing as security for the individual, that movement and changes are the very basis of life and living. Therefore, in seeking security, he is seeking something that just doesn't exist. That understanding is the beginning of the understanding of life, and through the understanding of life, to go back into impersonality. The child in his earliest stages, has an inherent awareness of things. It is his experienced actuality. So no questions arise. But when the intellect gradually expands, the child begins to ask questions. When the child has its first confrontation with the phenomenon of death, death brings the idea of life to the child. Death and disintegration bring the idea of life and security to the child. As the intellect proceeds, the intuitive natural awareness with the Oneness gradually gets dimmed, clouded."

Questions that arise for me are how does the primal mind affect all of this and our emotions and how we feel about things without just conscious thought. Also, how can we change neural firing patterns in our brain, so as to rebuild a foundation more aligned with pure awareness?

When thoughts arise, see them as just waves on an ocean passing overhead. Do not attach to them; let them pass by without attachment and suffering; feel natural joy arise.

Truth

Evil can not be conquered in the world; it can only be resisted in oneself.

Experiences...

"Nothing is wasted, everything is preparation for the next scene."

Moments of consummate grace can follow. Breathe deep and help set your beloved friends free.

Ever Dance with an Angel in the Pale Moonlight?

An act of pure consciousness is smiling with egg all over your face, falsely

and they stand there, utterly beguiled at Pure Consciousness...

It's the what you get when you fall in love with no "I" in loving breath.
