26 Sep Love 3
Divine love is compassion, treating all others as we would treat ourselves as we see others as not other than ourselves, imperfect and perfect simultaneously. Animal love is being "in love." When we are in love, love is a veneer that masks the otherwise clear imperfections of those we love. We treat our loved ones with love but not others who we see as imperfect. Moreover, when we are no longer in love with our loved ones, we see their imperfections. As nothing but the universe as a whole is perfect, if we accept our individual imperfections instead of deluding ourselves by being in love we can begin to experience divine love....

23 Sep Ode To Josh Henderson
Consciousness makes music and verse from a crazy and noisy universe. Let only those with feet on the ground travel to where the universe is being bound. It is there that they will see all that will be. But others best not dare go to this place unaware. For it's doubtful they will return as they were without a burn. Josh Henderson is an artist who took his life as his mind was overwhelmed with strife. ...
21 Sep From Sound To Tears
We emit vibrations, waves of sound. When our waves are in harmony, that’s love; when not, that’s noise. Harmony brings us to joyous tears, noise tears us apart....
21 Sep Sex, The Oddest Thing
Sex is the oddest thing. A pleasurable thing, like eating, laughing and sleeping; fun. However, unlike other pleasures, sex is often adulterated and conditional, requiring fidelity vows (disguised as proclamations of love) as a precondition to engaging in sex. This leads to less sex and less fun, though it's funny as it reflects that we don't know love and can't enjoy unadulterated sex....

"They were looking for love everywhere but couldn't find it because they had none of it to give." What does this mean? (1) If we don't have it, we don't know it and therefore we can't identity it when it comes our way. Hence, we should not seek what we don't know. (2) We can't find something outside of us that which is not us. Us and everything else is one thing, infinite manifestations of the universe. Upon realizing our oneness with everything, we realize our seeking is like a dog chasing its tail to the point of frustration and exhaustion. (3) We need to give in order to get. Love is about sharing with others, treating others as we would wish to be treated. There is no love unless we can give and receive it. (4) Whatever you think it means....

"No man is as pitiful as one who doesn't wish others happiness." However jovial one might appear, one is profoundly unhappy if one doesn't wish happiness for others. Or as John Lennon wrote: "You can shine your shoes and wear a suit You can comb your hair and look quite cute You can hide your face behind a smile One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside You can wear a mask and paint your face You can call yourself the human race You can wear a collar and a tie One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside...
