{body: eve ensler - suddenly, my body}

 Anonymous  January 30, 2015


(trigger warning:  rape & violence mentioning.)
"Poet, writer, activist Eve Ensler lived in her head. In this powerful talk from TEDWomen, she talks about her lifelong disconnection from her body -- and how two shocking events helped her to connect with the reality, the physicality of being human."

{body and mind: introduction to sacred geometey}

 Anonymous  January 24, 2015


"In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos. These inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances. They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. It is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. This principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created."

{mind: we are the universe -&- alan watts on zen}

 Anonymous  January 22, 2015


 "the Stars died so that you could be here."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"I want to make one thing absolutely clear. I am not a Zen Buddhist, I am not advocating Zen Buddhism, I am not trying to convert anyone to it. I have nothing to sell. I'm an entertainer. That is to say, in the same sense, that when you go to a concert and you listen to someone play Mozart, he has nothing to sell except the sound of the music. He doesn’t want to convert you to anything. He doesn’t want you to join an organization in favor of Mozart's music as opposed to, say, Beethoven's. And I approach you in the same spirit as a musician with his piano or a violinist with his violin. I just want you to enjoy a point of view that I enjoy."

{body and mind: healing trauma w/ psychedelics - acid test}

 Anonymous  January 17, 2015


 Starts at 4:00 {watch more...}               

“'Acid Test'” makes a convincing case that such therapies ought to be prescribable by all practicing psychiatrists. With an average of 22 veterans a day committing suicide and the Department of Veterans Affairs on the hook for more than $1 trillion in PTSD-related expenses due to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s hard to imagine how our society can afford to ignore the powerful healing potential contained in such profoundly psychoactive drugs as LSD and MDMA. Even more compelling is the moral debt we owe the PTSD-afflicted men and women who volunteered to fight our terrible wars." {read more...}

{heart + mind: sacred economics}

 Anonymous  January 15, 2015
"The way that we create money today promises, even demands scarcity. Money is created when the Federal Reserve Bank purchases interest bearing securities (essentially investment contracts). Private banks use these bank reserves to loan businesses and indivuals money. Money comes into circulation when a bank declares to a customer “Here is $1million, please pay me back more than $1million” (i.e., the loan plus interest). This means that at any given time the amount of money in circulation is guaranteed to be less than the amount of money owed."

{mind: eternal recurrence}

 Anonymous  January 07, 2015
For time is infinite, but the things in time, the concrete bodies are finite.... Now, however long a time may pass, according to the eternal laws governing the combinations of this eternal play of repetition, all configurations that have previously existed on this earth must yet meet, attract, repulse, kiss, and corrupt each other again.... And thus it will happen one day that a man will be born again, just like me, and a woman will be born, just like Mary (citation from Kaufmann's Translator's Introduction to The Gay Science, p. 16).

 Anonymous  January 07, 2015
"The strands of our DNA, the cornea of our eye, snow flakes, pine cones, flower petals, diamond crystals, the branching of trees, a nautilus shell, the star we spin around, the galaxy we spiral within, the air we breathe, and all life forms as we know them emerge out of timeless geometric codes."

Universe or Consciousness?
Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg, the Universe or Consciousness?
Is it that there are various ways of seeing one object, or is it that we have mistaken various images for one object?--Dogen
There is no contradiction between body and spirit, between mind and matter. These are just words we use to understand one thing.--Zoketsu Norman Fischer
The ordinary and the extraordinary are one and the same thing, as are the spiritual and the material, as are me and the other.--Wayne Liquorman

{mind: backwater}

 Anonymous  January 07, 2015
A friend told me this was the meaning of life.

What is the meaning of your life?

"But if you study the logistics
And heuristics of the mystics
You will find their minds rarely move a in a line
So it's much more realistic
To abandon such ballistics
And resign to be trapped on a leaf in a vine" {source}

{body: fractal algorithm for our divinity}

 Anonymous  January 02, 2015

Jakob Boehme, a simple shoemaker born in the 15th century, suddenly realized one day that God,
was a binary, fractal, self-replicating algorithm and that the universe was a genetic matrix resulting from the existential tension created by His desire for self-knowledge.

This is a peculiar, mathematical way of describing the idea of God. {Read More...}
