    There's only one thing one need look at to prove that Humans are the most highly evolved species here on Earth.

    The thousands of individual musical instruments made by Humans from the world over.

    And as the icing on that cake, is that all other animals here display affinity towards us.

    We truly have evolved to be the biological leaders here, and we should rise to it.

    Take a bow, every one of us, for, we truly deserve it. If we are ever able to walk out of our own past, to free ourselves from our own actions that now act like chains around our appendages, what we will find is that we have an amazing ability to get it right. Everything is right now beholden to the past, and if we can just simply manage to turn ourselves around, we will find the ingenuity and the knowledge of all things from medicine to the elements so beneficial. If we can just somehow manage to rid ourselves of the word "profit" and replace it with another word, like "benefit", then, everything would change.

    For this: we breathe!

    Dear all,

    I feel my journey here on Avalon has come full circle. I am not leaving, I am retiring, watching from the sky, where I belong, because after all Gemini's belong to the air.

    Thanks for having me.

    (Written below is not dogma nor a declared truth, but it is a shared thought)

    Referring to 'God' is an illusion of 'God'.

    Then how does one talk 'about' God?

    One can talk 'about' God but that isn't God.

    How does one talk 'to' God?

    One doesn't, really.

    At best one talks about or to a proxy. A false god, in essence.

    Believing in god is not the god to believe in.

    Believe in nothing, now that takes faith.

    (At first glance one could assume that believing in nothing would still be a believing in something ('nothing'), but how could that be?)






    (The word or idea nothing is a proxy, a place holder of 'nothing'. The closer one gets to 'nothing', the further away one is.)

    'Who' is the absolute best at the game of Hide and Go Seek? No One.

    I think the effort to get rid of the ego is a trap. The ego will create an ego to make it seem it is working to get rid of an ego, but.... you guessed it.....ego remains.

    Ego is the trickster of the highest order.....it seems.

    The biggest fear is having no identity.

    Freedom lies in being empty though.

    I had a Friend telling me this yesterday: Geerish, you need to start taking credibility for what you have done.

    The elders knew this. That's why, in spiritual practice, you don't try to get rid of... You just stay unmoved and let things happen.
