Quote of the Day – January 19 2012

“The totally convinced and the totally stupid have too much in common for the resemblance to be accidental.”
–Robert Anton Wilson

I envy the ones who know. I find that level of conviction amazing and perhaps on some level intimidating as all get out. Faith can and does move mountains. It adds charisma and of course far too often it keeps one in a box. It may be a box with room for expansion but still the borders can be felt. “Reality ends here. Anything beyond this line will be considered False. If you start believing what’s false or even considering it anything CAN and WILL happen. Here there be DRAGONS”
Yet without people refusing to believe in the borders of the box, who question their certainty, what new can ever be discovered? In an infinite universe, more always remains. So perhaps, even if conviction can not be counted among my strengths, at this point, I’ll still do ok. Namaste, G

Quote of the Day – January 1 2012

“If you take history on this planet at starting at midnight…then it is now 8 o’clock in the morning, and it’s time for us to wake up, because we’ve been operating on auto-pilot up until now.
And there are signs of planetary awakening. Domesticated primate psychology [humanity] is pretty much the same as it was in the paleolithic. But one sees increasing evidence of mutations.
There was only one Buddha 2500 years ago, now you meet 5-10 buddhas at every city you go to.
Knowledge wherever it’s discovered is traveling over the whole world faster and faster.”
–Robert Anton Wilson

And here we are:

2012

is upon us. May this year be one filled with blessings, joy, fun and enchantment for all. May growth happen according to the highest intent of each’s spirit. May love find us all from within and without assuming that there is a difference between the two. Namaste G

Quote of the Day – November 10 2011

Beyond a certain point, the whole universe becomes a continuous process of initiation.
–Robert Anton Wilson

I’ve bee contemplating arrogance the last few days, my own as well as that of others. We feel ourselves subjected to intolerance and yet we limit the points of views that we can hear never mind accept as valid. We claim to be without fear which to me sounds a whole lot like being without the colour cyan or the note fa (arbitrary picks on my part, I make no correlation between fear and cyan nor fear and fa) Not that I believe that we should ever let fear rule us, but see it as a teacher, one with particularly harsh lessons at times. By understanding our fear, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our universe. I said all this to someone and immediately came to a realization. For years I have bragged about how I never feel boredom. What arrogance, Sure when i get impatient or have to do something I might not feel like doing, I feel time go to a crawl and things can become tedious. Yes, that sounds like boredom to me also. Oh it seldom lasts long and in the universe inside my mind I can go exploring or revisiting points of interest and then once again I fly free. But saying I NEVER experience boredom? That word never and its brother always share a particular cognitive dissonance in my head. They seem so absolute. More on that another time. Namaste

Journey Along the Eye Way by G A Rosenberg (Treatment 3)

Union by G A Rosenberg

Quote of the Day – September 10 2011 Perspectives

“Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies etc. block the ability to receive; robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals; censorship blocks transmission.”

   –Robert Anton Wilson

 

Thinking about perspectives
part of it still seems to involve how to act
when interfacing with other people’s reality tunnel’s
(most of the time if we’re not hermits)
and yes, how they interface with mine..
i do believe there are limits to how much rudeness
one should be willing to accept from another
By rudeness, I mean someone who insists on trying
to supersede my world view with their own by insisting
that theirs is the only way….
I become weary when i hear terms like “should” and “should not”
“always” and “never” tend to make me a bit queasy also
Tho i realize my own hypocrisy with the first. I have used the word should
but then I too am greatly ignorant
I have yet to meet a person whom I can learn nothing from
So many wonderful teachers
but then one thing I have been slowly learning.
If I see the world as being beautiful and interesting
more and more it becomes so
The more love I conceive and perceive
the more I receive
The more open i become to others, the more my life opens…
Little things, perhaps obvious
yet so easily taken for granted at times,
I know I have…
