Viewpoints

The following statements exhibit one man’s viewpoint at a given moment in time. No preconceptions were harmed in the stating of these viewpoints.

Overheard at a bus stop:
“I love everyone. I’m not judgemental like my friend Betty. I can’t stand judgemental people. They can’t see that we’re all one. They’re so negative. I hate that!”

Can pure truth exist in this physical realm?

As soon as I make a statement I tend to think of it as an approximation only. One that can and most likely will be proven at least partially wrong at some future point in space time. I don’t know that that reflects a changing reality as much as it does a changing perspective….

“Any false or partially false premise extended with accurate logic will generate an approximate simulation of insanity”
— Blake Williams in Robert Anton Wilson’s The Trick Top Hat
If I believe the above statement and I also believe that approximations of reality seem to be the closest we can achieve while in physical form, then does that mean that every premise leads to insanity…
What would a completely true premise look like?

Volleyball Communication by G A Rosenberg

Our communication,
a volleyball game with a wall instead
of a net
I have missed so many shots
and who can be at fault?
We hope for a volley
juggling give and take
with words received
understood and sent back over
to be met with the same
effort and determination
to make it through
to continue.
Instead we score points
off each other
shots both trick and foul
hoping the other person misses
and shows himself at fault.
At least Tennis has love
This feels like competition

Tarot Card of the Day – July 5 2010

Two of Swords

Chokmah in Air
The Moon () in Libra ()

Two ideas —
seemingly in opposition but with no conflict
I’ve been given the grace to encompass both
I stand in contemplation
at peace, at prayer
I can stay like this for hours
or at least for now….

Quote of the Day – July 2 2010 and A Different Paradigm

“So I am public agent and don’t know who I work for, get my instructions from street signs, newspapers and pieces of conversation I snap out of the air the way a vulture will tear entrails from other mouth.”

–William Burroughs
