Wow nice I've recently been to International Art festival Delhi in India. There I also saw the similar art by an Indian women. She use different colored and patterned rolled paper with different lengths and arranged them in such way to make a painting. I currently dont have any of its pic but below are some others pics of other art in that festival.

Again... reminds me the chill outs of Ibiza.

On the center/left and up was the house of my friend Paco.




...when I only planned to stay only three days and finally I lived in his apartment one month or more. The Light of the Sun is priceless.

Thanks Carmody for revive my memories.

Where's araucaria? I enjoyed reading about Robespierre's antics, after being introduced to him. What a loopy one he was. But .....it was a loopy time.

And we may see it yet again, in our own way..

Where have I been? Pausing in mid-post, waiting for this prompt to loop back to this loopiness then and now. Thanks Carmody. Any perceived delay is evidence of the thought process in action over time; I am not regurgitating predigested material, I am working it out as I go along, which can take quite some time – when the here and now is the here and not just yet. There are inner resistances to be overcome as well.

The trouble with leftists is that they don’t know when to stop; they are on a mission and everyone appears to be to their right, and so in the wrong. Putting a guillotine in their hands is like putting a leg of ham on a meat slicer: they will slice away until nothing is left. Why this should be, why any action for the greater common good should be so easy to smash into pieces, is what we need to sort out. Why do revolutions invariably backfire, and what can we do differently this time to break the loop? Clearly, to wield authority without slipping into authoritarianism, chopping off heads is not an effective tool. (And that has to include dealing with the psychopaths of today.) To put it very simply, the problem is idealism: if you impose an ideal, you will find no one lives up to it and you end up killing everyone. You have to accept real people as they are, and take it from there. This is not to say you don’t have an ideal; it is just that the metaphysical ideal has to be morphed into a physical ideal, building on what you have.

So when dualistic thinking is applied to the refutation of its alleged working in others, that will doubtless be because the writer is incapable of recognizably nondualistic thinking even when the label on the can tells him that is what it is. He can then apply all the logic he likes, but as his premises are plain wrong, he cannot go anywhere with them. So what is the way out of this duality?

Well, part of the problem, it might be stated... is that observation can 'go there' but the reflected recognition of it, for the larger part, cannot. The vehicle fails and we end in the circular argument as a reductionist and steadily reducing tailing. It winds down, as the vehicle (reality in 3d timespace) exists so. Philosophy, by the nature of the attempt at reach (attempts at encompassing greater complexities), enters a form of degenerative entropy --things that exist in 'time', reality, and the greater systems the encompass the attempt itself. Ie, the reach (attempt) and the reality are in convergence.

Just like my reply..it begins at the end of yesterday and ends at the nothingness, the zero point of tomorrow, but expressed today, as a 'point'. The now.

Since we have but the now, and all points of yesterday, today, and tomorrow are connected to such, then presence is the final result, and all else begins and ends.

What we are left with, if the attempt at wordsmithing nears the absolute, is likened to a cat clawing at the slippery sides of an enameled bathtub, in utter futility and ineffectiveness.

To describe, in nearness, infinity of now, in the expressions of lower components of that now, ie time, past/future..which are likened to memory..is to attempt in futility. The convergence into infinity of wordsmithing will move into appearing as gobbledegook to the person who is reading it.

Reading it is anchored in the realm, and is a subset, not of the whole. So the step down of wordsmithing which is near to infinity (from the inner infinity) will necessarily, de-facto, via it's point in existence, most definitely appear as madness to the reader (and even to the writer).

One of the tell-tale signs of approaching infinity in the avatar, is the moments of seeming madness of the avatar, as it is indeed a subset, not a whole, in the idea of it's presence and communications in the flavor of those subsets.

In the end (if one may call it that), wordsmithing, like voice, like sharing, like physicality, all must move aside and the individual (as we may call it) must make the choice to move into the final components, themselves. The internal madness of self in those times is a complex enough system to bear, and the external application via outer/other, only serves to make it magnitudes worse.

The final understanding is that the writer comes to find that no amount of externally applied systems can or will suffice, but do indeed endanger, complexify for no reason beyond introduction of the issue, and create naught more than pause (when at the wordsmithing limits)..... and then one in such a situation says 'oh' to themselves... and metaphorically, takes the pen and punches it through their own 'I', and begins the deeper process of self unity and infinite connection.

Well, this is all very true, but before we get to the ineffability of infinity, we still have a sizeable chunk of finity to wade through most of the time. The advancement of the process of self unity is dependent to some extent on collective progress; trail-blazers are of no use if they get too far ahead of the main party. If they do, the ‘internal madness of self’ becomes literally the madness of living in a world of one’s own, and the breakdown of communication marks not so much the limits of wordsmithing as the autism of going it alone. There is a lot more mileage to be got out of language communication, but we need to realize that the breakdown comes not from the amount of conflicting information being bandied about as the filtering and rejection of some of that information instead of taking it all into account to build some bigger picture. If a man in the bows of a ship says he is sinking and another in the stern is being projected skywards, the apparent contradiction is easily explainable in terms of rough seas, and their solidarity is what ensures a possible return to an even keel. The fact that some are reaching stratospheric heights may be simply the countereffect of others plunging into the depths. This is an open-ended analogy, for how we steady the boat and/or calm the waters remains to be seen; but it will likely involve spreading the centre of gravity. This cannot happen if everything above a given line is silenced, which is what we are witnessing now.

Here’s a practical experiment: take a patch of colour from maybe a reproduction of a painting, then zoom in until you can see the individual pixels: you will be surprised at the quantity and variety of extraneous material that goes into producing the overall unaided visible effect. For example, the deepest black may be printed with no black ink at all. In which case, if black was something you wanted to remove, where would you start? Answer, nowhere: there is no black to be removed.

What this means in terms of this discussion is that what is needed most of all is better communications at the broadest level. Even a very slight improvement in the default position will lead to a vast improvement in the quality of life on this planet. Just for the moment, this involves the modest aim of pointing out how Bertrand Russell’s supposedly reasonable, logical stance is actually bigoted and intolerant, and by that token, how if the cap fits we all need to wear it.

Russell’s view I would describe as metaphilosophy: he is philosophizing about other people’s philosophies. This transcendent position, whether above or outside, inevitably clashes with the method of the likes of Bergson, which is fundamentally immanent: he is studying reality from the inside, as a part of that reality, and therefore that reality is having a feedback effect on him too. We also find the transcendent position in science: when we say the observer is crucial, we tend to overlook the really crucial factor of position. In the two-slit experiment, the observer position is transcendent, i.e. outside, since the particles leave a trace on the recording device only after passing through the slit(s). I reported here on what happens when the observer is immanent, i.e. as one with the actual slit(s): https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post917851 Similarly, when Pauli describes nuclear physics as slipping into metaphysics by forcing this issue of the observer in matters unobservable, he is talking about the same thing. Hence the scientific mind of Bertrand Russell has been straying into metaphysics, with equally disastrous results. Certainly, at some stage something went very loopy in the mind of someone who had actually been to jail for pacifism for him to be writing:

“I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing... War... has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full... The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of that? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people's... There are three ways of securing a society that shall be stable as regards population. The first is that of birth control, the second that of infanticide or really destructive wars, and the third that of general misery except for a powerful minority...”

If you want to see that kinkiness is terms of subjectivity/objectivity, I would have to say that it means that it is observer-based science forgetting that it is by definition totally… subjective. Objectivity is the transcendent ideal detected outside of a supposedly closed system. It is the wet patch under a leaky bucket. If you need water, you need to get out of the system before it really does close over an empty bucket. All this talk of becoming gods or of being food for gods is just viewing this situation from two opposite angles. But there is another angle, which is to see the closed system as just a kink in the open system – like a bucket at the bottom of a river, the ideas of water getting in or leaking out become meaningless because there is water everywhere.

Any talk of unity means that we understand by ‘universe’ all that is, and hence to speak of multiple universes is gibberish. The universe remains all that is, and what we used to call our universe is one of many subuniverses, a local unit just as the Milky Way turned out to be a local unit of the vaster cosmos. More specifically, speaking of multiple universes is transcendent scientific gibberish.Transcendent scientific gibberish ties in with religion, which makes a god of transcendence, which is the principle behind otherness. Since by definition otherness is a figment of the imagination – nothing exists beyond all that is: everything that is is immanent – then what we call evil or Satan is simply the immanent forms taken by this imaginary (metaphysical) transcendence. This is the basis of spiritual and temporal power: just as the pope is the vicar of a transcendent Christ, so a monarch acts vicariously for God (the divine right of kings). Take this, if you will, as a careful gloss on the name Mohammed (as opposed to a caricature).

The dividing line is then between metaphysical political systems of transcendence and physical political systems (notably democracy) where government is immanent to the physical entities that make up a community. ‘We the People’, the ‘Republic’ or the ‘Nation’ are such physical entities. Where things go pear-shaped is when the physical entity is engaged by a metaphysical entity, such as ‘Revolution’, be it the French Revolution or its sister the American Revolution. The latter of course went pear-shaped when the physical entity, the nation of natural persons, was hijacked by a metaphysical entity, the conglomerate of corporate entities assuming the status of natural persons. It is my contention that the French Revolution has largely withstood the test of time.

Hence within the ‘all is’ we find the ‘allos’ (other), which when it performs work (ergos) produces allergy, another name for intolerance. The problem with the intolerance of intolerance as shown by some cartoonists is that this form of tolerance is readily mistaken for intolerance. In other situations we say don’t scratch an itch, or don’t feed the trolls. It is perhaps inadvisable for that reason, but nonetheless acceptable since nothing but tolerant forms of tolerance are readily twisted into acceptance, which is what trolling is all about. True intolerance as the intolerance of tolerance is confrontational. Understandably then, confrontations do occasionally take place, and unsurprisingly often over pictures, which as Cabu once explained, are precisely not worth a thousand words. But we need to understand exactly what is going on.

What we have is people allergic to intolerance who are not revolutionaries with guillotines but revolutionaries with pens, which makes them basically relatively harmless anarchists. They have pinpointed a major issue: revolution kills ideas (of transcendence), but guillotines kill flesh-and-blood people, including revolutionaries – and so do lethal weapons in the hands of others. The paradox of the old situation was that physically lethal weapons were used to enforce metaphysical ideas. The paradox of the new situation is that we are seeing exactly the opposite: a modern version of Don Quixote tilting at windmills, namely attacking an ideology, or rather the absence thereof, with assault rifles. What I mean by the absence of an ideology is adherence to a creative process whereby a metaphysical idea gradually becomes embodied in 3D reality. A cartoon is an intermediate entity; it is metaphysical in that it conveys a notion of seeming transcendence (this is called ‘thinking outside the box’), but it is already in the physical as an image that real people can identify with and convert into the highly physical intermediate state of a peaceful mass demonstration, ultimately leading to the highly physical terminal state of social harmony.

When those who, rejecting ideology, have no axe to grind in the physical sphere, are caught in a battle, then we may be sure that their aggressors are not what they seem. While the word ‘Terror’, the practice itself is rather older, dating back at least to the sect of the Assassins in the twelfth century. The Assassins by Bernard Lewis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ass..._Sect_in_Islam debunks the story brought back by Marco Polo of the Assassins being killers motivated by promises of paradise after a haschich-induced experience of same. The author cites an influential study by Joseph von Hammer first published in 1818, in the aftermath of the French Revolution:

The beginning of the nineteenth century saw a new burst of interest in the Assassins. The French Revolution and its aftermath had revived public interest in conspiracy and murder (…) Hammer’s history, though very much a tract for the times – a warning against ‘the pernicious influence of secret societies… and… the dreadful prostitution of religion to the horrors of unbridled ambition’. For him, the Assassins were a
“union of impostors and dupes which, under the mask of a more austere creed and severer morals, undermined all religion and morality; that order of murderers, beneath whose daggers the lords of nations fell; all powerful, because, for the space of three centuries, they were universally dreaded, until the den of ruffians fell with the khaliphate, to whom, as the centre of spiritual and temporal power, it had at the outset sworn destruction, and by whose ruins it was itself overwhelmed.”
In case any of his readers miss the point, Hammer compares the Assassins with the Templars, the Jesuits, the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and the regicides of the French National Convention.
“As in the west, revolutionary societies arose from the bosom of the Freemasons, so in the east, did the Assassins spring from the Ismailites… The insanity of the enlighteners, who thought that by mere preaching, they could emancipate nations from the protecting care of princes, and the leading-strings of practical religion, has shown itself in the most terrible manner by the effects of the French Revolution, as it did in Asia, in the reign of Hassan II.” (chapter 1)

What we have here is a counter-revolutionary (reactionary) conspiracy theorist pining for a restoration of the powers that were. Since nowadays conspiracy theory is generally seen as being radically opposed to the powers that be, either this is a paradox, or it is a mistake. In France it is generally identified with the anti-republican far right and Le Pen’s National Front. No wonder things have still not come to a head: the alternative media still haven’t worked out exactly what they are fighting for and what they are fighting against. Even on a forum like Avalon, we have members trying to further their cause by deploring how someone like Hitler has been misrepresented…. One thing we should know however is that the only way is forward, if only because nothing has ever yet been tried that actually works.

Hence it is only possible to be truly revolutionary by acknowledging the less than positive effects of previous revolutions. With the French Revolution, apart from the Terror, it led on the one hand, when the republican ham was completely sliced, to the complete opposite, the dictator Napoleon, and on the other, to the international dissemination of republican values eventually tipping over into war and imperialism. Just to make sure, the same jigsaw pieces were later rearranged into another picture in Russia, with the failure of socialism in a single country, leading to buffer states eventually forming the Soviet empire under Stalinist rule. Nonetheless, another heir to the French Revolution is the strong modern French attachment to the Republic: the core values of the Revolution are now mainstream, although under attack from the far right within, and from ‘Islamists’ within and without. Hence France is a target, and a huge target capable of withstanding such an attack.

The need to reach out is presented as (turns out to be) expansionism through a clever sleight of hand. Any attempt to revert to normal peaceful human coexistence, when placed in the context of the world at large, is seen in the negative light of a breakaway society. In the terms I used above, a revolutionary society reaches out naturally as part of all that is: a universal declaration of human rights is a natural proclamation for it to make. And indeed, the core values of the Revolution as embodied by the United Nations are now international mainstream. But when such a society refutes the idea of transcendence like this, it is itself turned into a transcendent evil: it is demonized or seen as a contagion to be quarantined. So where it looks for friends it is made to find enemies. Except that it is now already too big to fail. Mainstream is actually on the whole pretty good; it is part of the demonization carried out by the reactionary wing of conspiracy theory I am talking about to have us think that mainstream is bad, in other words that the tiny minority are actually winning. Of course they are not, because they are merely presenting a distorted mirror image of the above situation.

Since the Assassins in the above sense are a non-historical fiction, who were they really? The answer should help us understand how presentday Islamist terrorism is no more than a fly in the ointment, a minor inconvenience – and likewise, the breakaway civilization that is feeding off it is programmed to fail. According to Bernard Lewis, they were the followers of a sect led by Hasan-i Sabbah (died 1124) against the entrenched orthodoxy of Sunni Islam: the first terrorist organization.

Others before him had vented their frustration in unplanned violence, in hopeless insurrection, or in sullen passivity. Hasan found a new way, by which a small force, disciplined and devoted, could strike effectively against an overwhelmingly superior enemy. ‘Terrorism’ says a modern authority, ‘is carried on by a narrowly limited organization and is inspired by a sustained program of large-scale objectives in the name of which terror is practised.’ This was the method that Hasan chose – the method, it may well be, that he invented. (chapter 6)

Their fanatical zeal was therefore originally directed almost wholly towards ongoing Muslim infighting over the heritage of Mohammed. Since, as all suicide fighters, they were fighting a losing battle, they were always vulnerable to getting involved in situations beyond their understanding, or even accused of things they did not do. The book emphasizes the final and total failure of this messianic movement, ‘at once popular and obscure, impelled by deep-rooted anxieties, and from time to time exploding in outbreaks of revolutionary violence’. It was published in 1967, but the following sounds familiar to anyone who has seen how the Al Qaeda crime syndicate is made to operate.

The leaders might make secret arrangements, but it is unlikely that they would inform the actual murderer of the details. What is much more probable is that the Assassin setting out on a mission was given what in modern parlance would be called a ‘cover story’, implicating the likeliest character on the scene. This would have the additional advantage of sowing mistrust and suspicion in the opposing camp. (…) In addition, we cannot be sure that every murder ascribed to or even claimed by the Assassins was in fact committed by them. Murder, for private or public reasons, was at least normally common, and the Assassins themselves must have provided ‘cover’ for a number of unideological assassinations in which they had no part. (chapter 6)

While one or two high profile crusaders were murdered by the Assassins, when later extended to western Europe, the word was surely being used generically to describe infiltrated paid (political) murderers, much as we might talk of a kamikaze attack with reference to the method rather than to the nationality of the perpetrator. But exoticism as an exacerbated form of otherness can only add to the fear that can be instilled, as Dan Brown understood well. We are now fully prepared and ready for the next step, which is to deploy the alien threat. Whether you see it in terms of loopy time or copycat scenarios, it is now plain for all to see that this is not reality as we know it, and the meat-slicers will soon be disabled once and for all.

I woke up to the sound of a plow. In the twenty-one years I’ve lived here they’ve never hired a service. That’s how much snow we’ve had.

The local school calendar for the last two school weeks alone i.e, ten days are: six no school, one early dismissal and a two hour delay. Many activities cancelled or postponed until April. What’s not listed are snow days for weekends.

We’ve gotten pounded in years past but what makes this year different is it’s non-stop nature.

I got chills on that, Eagle-Man! I miss being with the kids. But I could no longer live with the overt and covert manipulation that unfolded at warp speed for the last ten of the twenty-seven years.

It's been ten years since I left. I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like now. The system has implemented 'common core'. I expect there are/will be more behavior and emotional concerns. Frustrated staff. And continued conversation from the Board of Education on why students are leaving the system. Which translates to less government funding.

They’ve now hired a PR consultant rather than listen to those within the system. The turn around in staff and sometimes mid-way through the school year should be an indicator. The board minutes sight reasons for their resignation are jobs closer to home. Staff can’t be honest because it effects their chances for other teaching opportunities.

My head is still buzzing with all the thoughts generated by araucaria's post.
Must return to stillness for a moment before embarking on today's chores.
The main chores right now have to do with decluttering as we will be moving house in a couple of weeks.
So lets start with de-cluttering my head.
Please, don't misunderstand, araucaria, this is not your fault.
I will always take responsibility for how I respond to someone else's post. I will find relevant parallels between inner and outer events.

What I normally do when this mental activity happens is look for some sort of a mathematical formula to boil it all down to.
Then I retranslate those mathematics into simple thoughts from which can then emerge a clear agenda or action plan, so that I know what to do next. The clarity Carmody referred to.

I first look for imbalances, and then seek a balance, or zero point.
There I get to see everything in a broader context, and after permitting myself to communicate what I see, and then seeing what feedback I get I will then get an inkling of where I stand, in my here and now.

Having manifested so many educated thinkers like yourself, araucaria, and also Paula and Carmody and Violet and Eaglespirit and Marianne and Meeradas and many others, on this iPad screen of mine, shows me something of my own complexities, and also the enormity of the task at hand, which is to understand myself.
Confession time: I still don't know who I am. Sigh.

But give me a week or so, and I will get there...Eaglespirit put that time frame on it. And it might even last a few minutes, if I'm lucky.
Then the new search will begin, all over again.

Self definition is where all real decisions originate, unless one is totally programmed by societal forces; to run through life like a hamster on a wheel.
I've done ok so far, but it has been a never-ending struggle.

When I look at myself these days I feel immensely lucky and blessed.
And even when I look at the world out there, (not Avalon, but the immediate 3D world) I see people equally lucky and blessed, especially here in CR. Of course, what really goes on inside their heads I can only speculate about, since I don't have access to observing them on a 24/7 basis.
More mobility than ever...more communication than ever.. when even coffee pickers all have their own cell phones now. So, on the whole I must say the masses have never had it so good. (Opposing thought emerging: Chinese factories where Apple products are manufactured have had to install anti-suicide nets around the buildings...so there is a price, right there.)

System change is the answer, and not only the collective level, but also how individual systems function or malfunction.
Because governments out there are nothing but a reflection of the people who live under their yoke, (or service... depends where we are.)
Perspective and attitude is everything. Whether the current planetary turmoil is caused by ourselves, or evil ETs, or self fulfilling prophesies, is ultimately irrelevant, once inner silence has been found.

House move:
A) what to throw away.
B) what to give away
C) what to store
D) what to live with

The reality, if you will, is that I did to a certain extent, malign objectivist stance and application of that in self -to a degree- in order to create a moment of contrast within the act of observation in the given observer.

The whole of the given observation, into the moment of history, ie, it's closing into memory, and then moment of now ....then moving into projecting into the future comes back to this point by araucaria:

The fact that some are reaching stratospheric heights may be simply the countereffect of others plunging into the depths. This is an open-ended analogy, for how we steady the boat and/or calm the waters remains to be seen; but it will likely involve spreading the centre of gravity. This cannot happen if everything above a given line is silenced, which is what we are witnessing now.

Basically, to hold more in the self, in the projected moment... and this includes the mundane and linear components of mind, not just the idea of connection to the all in the idea and practice of right brained thinking.

Which comes about or around to the idea of a larger plane of gravity, or larger plane of existence for the give whole.

When we have a chopping off of the extremes that may be beyond a certain point, that act can at times be one sided, ie pitching the whole into a given direction or level.

The trick is stabilization of the system when it goes into wild swings, so it does not create it's own one sided destabilization, like a balloon breaking from a pinprick and then the energetic whole that is encompassed and the vessel each shooting off in opposite directions, with no form of stable developed core remaining at all. Ie, that extremism, taken too far, does not stretch the skin so more can be encompassed, but breaks the whole bubble of existence and breaks the ratcheting up of the size of the 'space' that we all, relatively speaking, collect in/as.

When we encounter interference in the creation and enlargement of societal/cultural bubbles, if you will, we find that lopping off of peaks, peaks that possibly should have been left to be, ie we are probably dealing with a subset of the system interfering with critical function of another subset. (with the interfering subset considering that the potential peak on other may be interfering with their attempts and bubbles and peaks/troughs/motions).

This circles back around to the idea of attempting to gently enlarge the bubble of consciousness in humans, but not of a lopsided or pinprickish potential. To balance it out so the space itself is enlarged and the skein of reality that is held via the mechanism of memory can be seen to be moving into a clear minded enlarging future. Where the complexity of held self, individually and collectively, is expanded across many fronts, and not offset into extremes, which would, by their nature would, in finality, end ...in some form of pinpricking of the given bubble.

Thus, when I spoke of mitigating the extremes of the US civil war within the given envelope of participation, it was not metaphorical, it was about toppling the excesses so they could not destabilize into developing into an extreme, which would eventually lead to breakage.

[eaglespirit]

...and I shall interject and softly confirm with my 'current' thoughts on real-ity balance in the now, personally.
I have been taking strong actions as to my 'celebrity' emphasis...many things not talked about openly as there are too many things going on, as stated...targeted focus and immense overall integration of super conscious influx through each of our own unique 'loving amber' of personal super consciousness...we are powerful, subtle and all encompassing octaves!
Simply helping that elderly woman across the street while imagining crossing the great divide to merge the higher energies of unconditional giving love creates bridges of light, here and now, im-highest-ho : )

D: Because I think of a dreamer as eventually waking up.
C: That is correct.
D: Then does the dreamer eventually wake up?
C: That is correct.D: (A nervous laugh.) What happens then?
C: What happens when you go to sleep?
D: I mean, what happens to what he has created in his dream?
C: When you go to sleep, do you not go to another reality?
D: True, but then when you wake up, does that reality remain?
C: It’s just as real as the other reality. It’s a different form of dreaming. Do you
call this reality? This where you’re at now? Is it a dream or a reality?
D: Well, we think we’re in reality.
C: Are you not dreaming here as you dream in the other place?
D: (Laugh) We don’t know, do we. That’s always been a puzzle. But,
anyway, the dreamer that has dreamed all of this that is happening now,
when he wakes up, does our reality cease to exist or does it continue?
C: Continues.
D: Because he has given it life?
C: We’ve all given it life.
D: And all the other sparks and souls have given power and more creation
to it. Is that what you mean?
C: Right, but then they come back to the whole. But actually they really never left.
D: So we are helping it become a reality and everyone is playing their part
in it. (Yes.) But then on a larger scale, does the dreamer dream other
dreams?
C: When the smaller dreams, for lack of a better word, make enough or have
enough cause to change the big dreamer’s dream; that’s when that changes.
That’s when consciousness makes a jump. A jump ahead or it could be a fall
backwards. It depends on your place in time. For example the Dark Ages,
the dreamer changed the dream.
D: So this is a huge consciousness then. It’s more than we can understand?
C: Oh no, it’s just a dreamer.
D: That has created all of this.
C: Yes, we’re all dreamers.
D: We’re all part of it then. (Yes.) Because I’m trying to understand. If he
was so big that we wouldn’t be able to comprehend it.C: No. Can comprehend anything.
D: And this is the consciousness that we’re all a part of? (Yes.) And we all
go back to it.
C: Yes, there’s only one.

LOVE ARAUCARIA'S EXPERIMENTS.

Posted by araucaria (here)
Here’s a practical experiment: take a patch of colour from maybe a reproduction of a painting, then zoom in until you can see the individual pixels: you will be surprised at the quantity and variety of extraneous material that goes into producing the overall unaided visible effect. For example, the deepest black may be printed with no black ink at all. In which case, if black was something you wanted to remove, where would you start? Answer, nowhere: there is no black to be removed.

Why do revolutions invariably backfire

Answer:

Revolution: late Middle English: from Old French, or from late Latin revolutio(n-), from revolvere 'roll back' (see revolve).

Backfire: (Of a plan or action) have an opposite and undesirable effect to what was intended

So a revolution is a "roll back" or circling around to where you started, and it backfires because you assume you will be moving forward and progressing when in fact you are just circling back to the beginning of the cycle.

IMO:

BEWARE THOSE WHO CALL FOR REVOLUTION (it's a trap!)

we do NOT need to go back and start this cycle over (as has been done through out history) we need an EVOLUTION, not REVOLUTION.
