There is a god of love I worship and follow. Without this god our minds would not be as attuned to beauty, nor our hearts to the gods of love. This god is a generous gift from the Creator, filling the meadows and roadsides with spiritual power, opening the doors between the worlds, that the King of Glory may come in. Who is this King of Glory? Love Almighty, strong to unite, mighty in peace and pleasure.

Cannabis is this gift from the Creator. Its purpose is to draw people together in kindness and love. Its power is in opening the… Read more »

This is my cartoon character Charlie. The real Charlie doesn’t have a human body, but the image helps me know him better somehow, as images of deities have helped humans since the first drawing was painted on a cave wall.

For those familiar with the Charlie cartoon, you might notice that he’s loosened his tie even further and is starting to show his toughness. When I was drawing this picture, Charlie was talking, and he said:

You humans think the Love God is some kind of a skinny runt, a wussy among the gods, like the meek, white-bread Jesus with little children… Read more »

The Mullah Nasrudin

Nasrudin saw a man sitting at the side of a road looking utterly desolated.

“What’s bothering you?” he asked.

“My brother, there is nothing interesting in my life. I have enough money not to need to work, and I was traveling to see if there was anything curious in the world. But everyone I have met has nothing new to say to me, all they do is make me more bored.

“In a word, I can tell you without any fear of doubt that despite all that I have done, I haven’t managed to find the peace I sought. I have… Read more »

This is my character Puny Human. She speaks for Charlie and the gods of love.

Puny works hard not to get tangled up in her mind, because the mind is a trickster. The Hindus call our human mind “maya,” loosely translated as illusion. Maya expresses the Hindu belief that our linear, rational, information processing equipment cannot know the whole truth, and in fact, can lead us away from our spiritual nature and our relationship to the divine. Mind clings to the material objects of the world, it is materialistic and reductionistic, it desires and fears, it is led astray.

This understanding of… Read more »

Adopt a comfortable, meditative position. Close your eyes and start a mantra sequence (For the purposes of this exercise I pick something pretty random, usually a sequence of consonanted sounds; ka da ma ta ha, for example)

Focus on the mantra until it you can self sustain it non vocally. Keep it going until it has a momentum all of it’s own, then dissociate… imagine that you step out of and away from your body so that you can see yourself and hear the mantra coming from the location you see yourself sat in.

Move further backwards and forwards until the volume… Read more »

Boy, do we have it backward! We are so proud of our greed and so ashamed of our bodies. We show off our possessions and feel like we are more of a human being for owning more. And everything can be owned in the world we humans have created. Bodies, water, cucumber seeds. We want it all. We want to feel safe and in control, so we sold everything to the Dominators in exchange for a false security. The Dominators can no more change the will of the gods than you or I, and yet they swear that they have… Read more »

A man wanted to know about mind, not in nature, but in his private, large ‘computer’. He asked it: “Do you compute that you will ever think like a human being?” The machine then set to work to analyse its own computational habit. Finally, the machine printed its answer on a piece of paper, as such machines do. The man ran to get the answer and found, neatly typed, the words:

THAT REMINDS ME OF A STORY.

Gregory Bateson: Mind and Nature.

What is it to know another person’s soul? To know their true nature? To look into the heart of their being?… Read more »

I remember when the corporations first started to put stickers on vegetables and fruits. Bananas first, since their skins were strong enough not to be easily damaged by the stickers, and later the citrus fruits and apples, and finally, even the most delicate of tomatoes and avacados. We have become accustomed to this branding of nature’s produce, but at first it seemed odd to us.

Can the fruit of the vine, the children of trees, the wombs of the green people be manufactured by humans? The corporations “owned” the land on which they grew, “owned” the plants that produced so generously… Read more »

Greg Hill made a really interesting post on his blog today in which he discusses the contention raised by the philosopher Galen Strawson that physicalism entails panpsychism, or the stance that all physical matter is conscious. Now I don’t propose to develop that specific argument, but in comments I have discussed the idea that it is not so much that matter is conscious but that consciousness resides in the experience of relationship (it turns out that Strawson defines consciousness in terms of the ability to experience, so that is quite handy).

Greg refers to the experience of Jung where he “reported an… Read more »
