change your mind
table for eight at the restaurant at the end of
the universe: fraser clark, frank herbert, persephone, john lennon, albert
einstein, matt johnson, and you and me!
fraser clark runs a piece on peak
oil in the latest up! , calling it “the biggest political
truth we have ever uncovered. whew!!" def worth checking out, and as frase so
rightly points out don’t give
into fear; and for more reasons than
he points out:
the course in miracles would say that love is letting go of fear...and as frank herbert so eloquently puts it in the dune trilogy, fear is the mind killer...i myself, upon reading frasers latest, which was not news to me but rather one of those elephantine facts that i prefer not to dwell on any more often than necessary, did as i have always done in my old school psychedelic adventures and followed the example of persephone , eating the blood-red seeds of the pomegranate and then proceeding to go underground and dig through the crusty shite only to emerge into sunlight and magic...there is a lovely blue arrow connecting peak oil and the blackspace of nbor, and this is just the sort of x -factor which makes prognostication a risky business...wierd shit just fucking happens! and wierder shit than nbor is undoubtedly just around the corner, waiting for someone to...
so what to do when confronted with ideas like the immenent collapse of the oil economy and thereby the world as we know it? well i could site lennon (imagine) and einstein (imagination is more important than knowledge) or i could simply point out: if you are thinking apocalyptically...you may not think you are a fundamental christian, but you are thinking like a fundamental christian. i write this with no malice; some of my best friends are fundamental christians...i just don’t buy their eschatology, is all, their vision of the future. and i’ll leave it with this, amalgamizing einstein, lennon, matt johnson , and the course in miracles ...don’t try to change the world, change your mind about the world.
sounds: the angels of light ...everything is good here/please come home
drugs: pomegranates and mangoes
anticipation: forgiveness
appreciation: stephen judge
quandry: love vs. fear
