Morning Philosophy

Baba Ram Dass has similar things to say as Mathatma Ghandi. When truth is desired, it must be accepted as found. As free will is as powerful a force as known to man, when used for force rather than peace, it is ineffective and holds no power. The best we can do is the best we can do, but anything short of the best is all that we can do at that point. Intent is understanding that there is a reason for action. Use conservation of energy, by having the ability to wait to accomplish a task a the right moment in time such that it leverages other energy, rather than occupying existing already produced energy. Where the energy comes from is a big issue - we seem to waste a lot of energy trying to accomplish things that can never or will never get done under the given circumstances. The reasons are not sufficient to provide enough energy to accomplish the task.

From rolling coins, Yu suggests that it furthers to install helpers and set armies marching. Changing thought to peace - Ghandi's satyagraha - takes willfulness without personal purpose. Confucious said - 'He who could wholly comprehend this sacrifice could rule the world as though it were spinning on his hand.' Charted courses through history reveal that those who had the charts didn't ever have to follow the course - other people were there later to suffer from serious indescretion or gain from prior 'set-up' work. The time to set up the future system has passed, as the one we have today crumbles while we read. My meditations say the time has come to become selfless, but the mechanism to be able to do that is a one way ticket and the world will not allow backtracking once that course is set in motion. Ghandi knew that, as others have.

Perhaps science is just a fad religion, but it appears to apply reason in the direction of self assurance. But the high costs today are artificial, because science itself is the ability to ask questions and search for answers that keep common sense with the way things are built to work. or not to work. it requires simple tests to verify concepts that any child can do. now i must get to work. Fortunately, my paid work right now is seeking and sharing enlightenment and i can appreciate it accordingly. Spreading the word requires a network, building networks is interpersonal communications and that is what being people is all about. Dancing with devils and angels alike, without requiring either to change her nature. Just apply a scientific method to describe what is.
