Second year on the Farm, the wildlife knows us & doesn't run away any more. Up for Forth stage of spiritual journey, beyond cosmic consciousness to what's next.
@GinormousBuddha Too true!
We rise up out of the living Land
Walk around for 50 or 100 years
Wondering... wtf!!
Maybe trying to make sense of it all
Or sense of some of it
Or of anything
Maybe giving up
Maybe succeeding
Then we're back into the Land
It's not about us
We're Life taking a stroll!
Watching TV News talk about Covid vaccine.
Why not celebrate that soon enough there'll be a jab for whoever wants it?
Why bother reporting that a few are happy for the rest to go first?
Why bother to report that a few people are happy for the rest to go first?
@TashiChris@amkumar2007 Chopra says: "Everything you perceive is illusion"
What Mahen replies is vastly different: "everything is illusion"
Perception is a (distorted) image of reality.
Higher mind's intuitive knowledge can't be told discursively by the lower brain.
Matter is already made of spirit.
We are many seasonal flowers
On the one perennial Tree of Life
We each come & go
Blossoming for a time
As our surface mind
Plays along with changes
But deep within our life-force
We're grounded in forever
Being that constancy
We will never die

Saw TV program on many products from Hemp & Bamboo
Can replace oil-based & dwindling resources for things like
textiles, packaging, insulation, paper, building material, food products, bio-plastics, nutraceuticals, nanomaterials, ethanol...
Gov't needs to fund these alternatives!
@macryant900 Absolutely!
Apparently some kinds of Bamboo grow a metre a day!
In 500 years time, people will look back at the window between 1960 & 2050, when we knew about Global Warming & could have done so much to turn the tide, & they'll wonder how we could have been so self-absorbed!
Three things to ask your parents before they go:
How do they remember you as a child?
What do they think of you now?
What else have they learnt during their life?
And always have a good book to read,
somewhere to go for a break!
@BDReeves On teaching students to think. modelling is a good start!
On does it pay to be unethical, well, it may produce short-term gains, but in the long run it turns one's heart cold and hard, and is that a price we care to pay?
@meg_sct I say Go For It!
Gautama said the Sangha (community) of those who follow the Dharma is a Jewel of Buddhism.
Jesus said he is where two or more are gathered in his name.
Someone said for sanity we need at least some people who take us seriously, treat us with respect, fair & care!
