b121 (12.21-1.2024): come and surf the wave

surf the wave [i]
by ima i. n. control

some things we control
most things are unsaved
rocks (or maybe, roll)
come and surf the wave
_____________________________
 
·       surfers can’t control the wave, but they can control their tactile input into the surfboard.

·       Bliss is not about giving-up control, although ‘surrender’ can be a beneficial practice.
 
to me, Bliss is about getting caught-up in the move-ie, while also having the knowing that i can return to audience mode and/or director mode, as desired.  it’s not 100% surrender.
 
it is similar to the chase of Spirit.  100% transcendence of the ego would mean death/birth, so to transcend ego to a large degree (and to re-cognize when the ego is pre-dominant) is the dance of Bliss-full Play, Here (and, hopefully, Now).  it can be orgasmic.
 

come and surf the wave.

b78 (3. 18-2.2017): stoopid is as stoopid does

stoopid is as stoopid does  [1]
by h. u. mandoing

alternative title: ignorance ain’t bliss

ignorance ain’t bliss
thoughts have consequence
thoughts lead to beliefs (leading to acts that make no sense)
leading to a nightmare that we wish there never was
ignorance ain’t bliss, and stupid is as stupid does

·        this thoem is not inspired by politics.
·        it is inspired by a life-form that values itself above all others: a vampirical cancer that cannot see itself in its own projection/reflection.
·        a species that has apparently lost its ability to practice the art and science of introspection.
·        a mass of lemmings, allowing a few (powerful) leaders to steer us off of a cliff.
 
…but here’s a secret:
·        the leaders have no power that we do not freely give to them.  they (shockingly enough) need us.
