The Basic Trusts and Beliefs. You must be ready to accept the
possibility that there is a limitless range of awareness for which we
now have no words; that awareness can expand beyond range of your ego,
your self, your familiar identity, beyond everything you have learned,
beyond your notions of space and time, beyond the differences which
usually separate people from each other and from the world around
them.
You must remember that throughout human history, millions have made
this voyage. A few (whom we call mystics, saints or buddhas) have made
this experience endure and have communicated it to their fellow men.
You must remember, too, that the experience is safe (at the very
worst, you will end up the same person who entered the experience),
and that all of the dangers which you have feared are unnecessary
productions of your mind. Whether you experience heaven or hell,
remember that it is your mind which creates them. Avoid grasping the
one or fleeing the other. Avoid imposing the ego game on the
experience.
You must try to maintain faith and trust in the potentiality of your
own brain and the billion-year-old life process. With you ego left
behind you, the brain can't go wrong.
Try to keep the memory of a trusted friend or a respected person whose
name can serve as a guide and protection.
Trust your divinity, trust your brain, trust your companions.
Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, float downstream.

A beautiful view of an ugly truth
Bolivian Deforestation
Once a vast carpet of healthy vegetation, the Amazon rain forest is changing rapidly. This image of Bolivia shows dramatic deforestation in the Amazon Basin. Loggers have cut long paths into the forest, while ranchers have cleared large blocks for their herds. Fanning out from these clear-cut areas are settlements built in radial arrangements of fields and farms. Healthy vegetation appears bright red in this image.
Ive been meaning to share this, I wrote it down some time ago while listening to coast to coast but I didnt write the author.I hate when I do that, I write things down hoping to look further into them the next day and always forget, so things are left half complete. well anyway here it is:
"..what feeds prophecy is a people who bring souls through birth and train them with the egoism that allows them to repeat the past and call it the future.."
Isnt that just THE TRUTH!
also, last night I was also listening because George had 'open lines' I love open lines and this woman came on and told her story of a friend who committed suicide while in Iraq. When she returned this was always on her mind, and stayed with her. She then talks about going to see a psychic, and having a very profound experience: the psychic tells her everything, on point! She even knows of her friend from Iraq, so the woman asks what is now of him, or how is he and the psychic gives the most beautiful response:
"..People who commit suicide go to a place thats like a hospital [for souls] and help out souls.."
George then ends the night by saying, you know what I think so because I doubt people who commit suicide burn in hell.
word to that!
busy
This is what my bed looks like right now, I have been really just reading a lot, as lame as that sounds :3
anyway, I recently got SO MANY things, books, articles, essays, writings on a wide variety of awesome subjects so I have enough to keep me busy for a good while, today I plan on reading Tim Leary's version, if you will, of the Tibetan Book of The Dead. should be great, also I am currently reading Aldous Huxley's 'The art of seeing' I finally got it!! :D along with some ethnobotany/pharmacology papers (of course) and as of right now I am reading a short work from Aristotle, 'On sleep and sleeplessness.' busy busy busy, but I love it!
Oh! and I got a new highlighter, such a simple thing brightened my day;)

Multiverses: Do Other Universes Exist?
Do nearly exact copies of you exist in other universes? If one or more of the multiverse hypotheses is correct, then quite possibly they do. In the above computer-enhanced illustration, independent universes are shown as independent circles or spheres. Spheres may be causally disconnected from all other spheres, meaning no communications can pass between them. Some spheres may contain different realizations of our universe, while others may have different physical laws. An entire set of parallel universes is called a multiverse. The human eye might represent the possibility that realizations of some multiverse hypotheses might only exist in the human mind. One criticism of multiverse hypotheses is that they are frequently difficult to test. Some multiverse hypotheses may therefore be great fun to think about but not practically falsifiable and therefore have no predictive scientific value.

Its always nice to see what mainstream science thinks on subjects one might already accept as truth;)

Rainy day, rain all day

my lover Jonathan Ott
I have so many notes on Jonathan Ott, and I realized I have not shared any on here, only a picture of him in my earlier posts, and a lot of people I come across dont know who he is, you have to know who Jonathan Ott is, he is one of my biggest inspirations.
...the time has come where we have to call the
officials on the carpet, and take the debate to them, and make
them justify their policy, stand up and debate it scientifically.
“How can you justify this expense, this waste of public funds,
criminalizing large elements of the population, exacerbating
the AIDS epidemic, the hepatitis epidemic?” and make
them explain why they’re doing this. They’re the ones that are
screwing up, not us. We’re just doing civil disobedience, our
sacred democratic duty when a government is miscreant,
because we can see really clearly that they have a very evil,
unethical, unecological, uneconomic, racist, flawed and failing
policy. And it’s high time for someone to say, “The
emperor’s got no clothes, and let’s arrest him for indecently
exposing himself, under the existing laws.”...

M66
♥35 million light-years away. About 100 thousand light-years across♥
Gravitational interactions with its neighboring galaxies have likely influenced the shape of spiral galaxy M66.

People run all over the place looking for paranormal abilities,
but notice that when I speak if your internal dictionary matches my internal dictionary that my thoughts cross through the air as an acoustical pressure wave and are reconstructed inside your cerebral cortex as your thought, your understanding of my words.
Telepathy exists.
It’s just that the carrier wave is small mouth noises.

Eros and the Eschaton
[to my mind] when you're hallucinating, you have an absolutely clear proof that you are not generating this material. Its not funny ideas, its not racing thoughts, its not insight into what your boyfriend really meant yesterday. That kind of thing we can all generate by just inspecting our own minds. But a hallucination is to be in the presence of that which could previously not be imagined. And if it could previously not be imagined, then there is no grounds for believing that you generated it out of yourself.
I mean, we should each know our own inventory. You know what's in your cupboard, you know what's in your chest of drawers, for God's sake, you ought to know what's in your mind. Then if something comes forward, and you say, "That's not mine, That's not in my inventory," then you have a kind of perfect proof that this is coming from somewhere else. Then the question becomes, where? And we can set off into that, opinions differ and nobody has God's truth on it.
