______________________________
 
1.     everything happens because of pressure (or some differential in pressure).
 
2.     surviving sentient entities (things that have a sense of self) survive… due to a strong survival instinct.  for lack of a better term, let’s call sentient entities ‘be-ings.’
 
3.     be-ings, in i-survive-all mode, need basics: like air, water, food, etc.
   o   sentient machine-intelligence might require a different set of basics.
 
4.     be-ings (from atoms to AGI), in i-survive-as-a-species mode… replicate.

 
 
 
5.     be-ings, in survival mode, strive to better their odds at 3 & 4, above.  i call this ‘thrival,’ but this process is just the evolution of survival.  thrival is explained below:
 
6.     beings bond-together (there’s safety in numbers), mark territory (to secure basic resources and reproductive resources), and experience hierarchies (pecking-orders determine who gets more or less of that which promotes survival).
 
7.     surviving species also tend toward ego (a sense of separate self*). ego-ic groups seek access to resources, engage in nonstop reproduction, and utilize memory/cognition to take intelligent actions that perpetuate the survival-thrival/replication process (evolution).
 
8.     unless impeded (or kept-in-check) by an outside entity (e.g. a predator, dis-ease, disaster, overpopulation, etc.) the surviving entity/species becomes cancerous -- event-u-all-y committing murder-suicide by destroying itself via destroying its host.
 
9.     the host (if/be-ing energy that is neither created nor destroyed), upon death, would trans-form (dedupe) into part-i-cles that allow for the evolution of other entities, thereby perpetuating the evolution/devolution/survival-thrival/death/re-cycle.    
 
-the beginning

*the sense of separate self (ego) can be attributed to an individual (be-ing) and to a species/group (e.g. humans; the yankees).  

-the species/group, in turn, develops cult-like processes (culture) that perpetuate the survival/thrival of the species/group.

the birds and the bees [i]
by d. oit doit
 
the birds and the bees
nanobots and trees
propagate species
the birds and the bees
___________________________________
 
·       when the birds and the bees are bots, will the new God propagate in HE/R own image?

·       is the expression of thoetry akin to propagation?

 didn’t jo & al = joal?

·       isn’t evolution (spelled backwards) no-i-to-love?
   o   is evolution, then, the propagation of the ego, in its own image?

·       is the urge to Une a Spiritual practice – in action?  is it an IS?
   o   In other words, doesn’t everything on the physical plane (in its own false sense of separate self) Connect with the All that IS?

* Whole-in-One

a Whole-in-One occurs 

(rarely) 
in that in-stant 

when one's sense-of-separate-self 

gets even the tiniest hint... 
of Union.

stroke my… [i]
by e. very ego

golfer talks to golf ball
blood-clot talks to brain
swimmers like to talk about the timing (yes, insane!)
 
owner pets her pony, boy
it’s not hard to see, though
help me with my tennis (game)
come and stroke my ego

·       if it has a sense of separate self, stroke its ego.
 
·       stroking someone’s ego (when practiced from the heart) can be like a Whole (in-One)!

b108 (3.6-1.2022): the Spirit of ego

 the Spirit of ego [1]

by anoth e. r. ego

as ego strives to survive and prove that he is, his biggest fear is the knowing that, in reality, he isn’t (a separate self).

real-I-zation” is the dropping of the ego (or "death" of the ego).  this is not possible, in the physical realm. 

the trick (at least as i see it) is to get lost in the Play (sense-a-tionally) while simultaneously realizing that it is, in fact, a Play.

b88 (3.22-4.2020): what is an anti-Christ?

 

b88 (3.3-2.2020): Oneness, She needs ego

Oneness, She needs ego ^[1]          
by Uni-Fied & eve grace omaniac
 
Oneness, She needs e-go
to take her for a ride
to sweep Her on her feet
to go (and come inside)
to cause a little drama
to see (below/above)
Oneness, She needs ego, here,
and with him She makes Love
_______________________________
 
·        ego/perspective, the false sense of separate self = e-go = energy, on the go.
·        Oneness/Love (Absolute Love, with a Capital L) Is.  S/he is not a gender, although Love (from my earthly observations) is easier to visualize that way.  Love = Creative _____.
·        before matter, no-thing mattered.  when the Is’ first experience/thought (“who am i?”) resulted in a Big bang, and ego is her living expression.
 
Oneness, She needs ego.
