Radiant Daggers

Divergent and convergent pathways along the interplay of hope and despair intertwine in a complex dance of alternating currents and oscillating perception…

As we listen to Juan Enriquez talk about Homo Evolutis, we can happily look past the current “flames” engulfing our world, but to what end?  …to a bright new future for the species, the new species of hominids atop the pyramid?  Oops, is this the Illuminati dream of dreams?  Sounds great, doesn’t it?

But let’s think for a minute about human evolution, and civilization, and we quickly see that misery and suffering are still with us despite all the glorious discoveries and euphoric achievements.  Where are the grand solutions and absolution that science and religion and politics have repeatedly promised us over and over again?

So no!  Science is NOT the answer!  And technology is only a distraction from the truth — what truth?  Nor is religion the answer.  This world is certainly not designed around man and his arrogance…  And most certainly the answer is not in politicians and the puppets and grand masters behind the scenes.

Maybe we should listen to Paul Stamets and his adulation and love for mycelium – don’t glaze over –  but he’s onto something I suppose.

Mushrooms will save the world, *grin* only not as Paul would assume with his softball optimism.

Perhaps Terence McKenna is closer to the answer with his Timewave Zero theory and mushroom-induced voyages on the slopes of a volcano?

In the small hours before morning breaks, when we can hear the immense breath of being, where is our respite as shards of contradiction and failure lacerate this perpetually broken world?  What comforts us when it dawns on us that the reign of man is not infinite after all?

…And yet, and yet…to embrace a child and see the world, profoundly see the world in his eyes, or to extend an act of kindness toward an aging dog and appreciate the meaning in his glance, or to lift a struggling insect from the edge of a cup and understand its plight, are simple gestures all, yet each act crushes the entire construed world and reveals the essence of our being, the potential of our timeless radiance that transcends this bracketed world and its fickle ambitions of mortal flesh.

The answer is not in prolongation of earth-bound life, nor is it in mastering this world of folly, but in igniting the self to radiate – that is our destined evolution, and it does not require science nor priests nor rulers.

The answer is in us, in our DNA, in our matrix, latent and poised to be ignited.  Nowhere is Now and Here, thus Time and Space are but mere perception of our holographic projected world.  Liberated of the constraints of the flux, we are free to become stars, transform, and evolve at once.

Indeed, mushrooms can save the world as they enable us to better perceive the soul of a Scarab rolling dung.

“If you care so much about life, calling yourself a pro-life activist, then why do you accept to send our young men and women to your stupid war?” she asked with a glint of confidence and rebellion in her eyes. She had a drawer packed full with hidden and manifest inculcations, down to the peace sign emblazoned on her shirt.

“Not that I agree with your premise, but I could ask you the same,” I set up my bait. “If you’re so indifferent to the life and rights of a pre-born child, then why do you so much care about that same child when he’s sent to war later on in his life?”

She grimaced, “the fetus is not alive when –

“And you, my dear, are qualified to know that and pass judgment? Pray tell how?” I gently snapped back. “…the dialog itself is ill-constructed. We should be looking at it from a wholly different perspective…”

Her pasted and vacuous eyes looked down for an instance and looked back at mine for what seemed an eternity in a moment.

“…The Genesis of life stems from the dialectic synthesis of dualities,” I continued, “whereby one plus one equals three (1+1=3); while simultaneously the coupling of positive and negative currents spark a continuum in the electromagnetic flow of scared geometries that contain the evolutionary blueprint, whereby one plus one equals one and x, respectively (1+1=1) and (1+1=x).

Therefore: …(1+1=3)=(1+1=1)=(1+1=x)…

In the absence of profound evidence to the contrary, the syntax of our discourse on life must expand to include the contextual mystery that life is parcel of, a mystery thus far beyond our limited cognitive reach:

Thus, rather than the following equation: [life]

Let’s expand our term to this equation: …PpB1(CgB)PpB2…= L

Or: …Preconscious Pre-Gaia-based Being (Conscious Gaia-based Being) Post-conscious Post-Gaia-based Being… equals Life.

This expanded formulation further compels the age old question: why would the Breath of Universe conspire to generate Life? The answer: To ask the very question.

While the fundamental core embedded within each one of us inherits the desire to Re-Link to the transcendent and infinite structure of our Universe, and draws each of us to align ourselves with the intended path of our being, thus fulfill the mission granted us by the gift of life, we must nevertheless contend that our efforts thus far have been met with near insurmountable defeat, especially vis-à-vis our institutionalized Re-Ligious processes and Systemic Governances and Group aberrations. All this pseudo progress and abstraction has led to the detriment of the Noble Individual and Evolved Moral Being.

2012 is indeed a portal of opportunity, the fork in the paradigm whereby evolution will exact the next fold in the fate of man’s world…

Only tyranny of logos views the next axial shift as apocryphal, or fears it as apocalyptic. However, at this juncture it is of the utmost urgency we become apobathetic.

The battle lines are now increasingly manifest. The only path is through the din of fray, there is no other way. While Turin falters to slay, all will be naught and dismay.
