I would rather live a life of sorrow and insecurity than live in a world created by the illusions of thought that give a false sense of security and togetherness.
——————————-
I don’t know much and what I do know isn’t worth much. But what I feel at any given moment tells me what I am doing right now is my freedom or my bondage.
——————————-
We were built to love and be loved.
We are incapable of processing love or being processed by it.
It is only by us loving that love is restored in us and we are healed from all the incapable people like us that fall short of love’s high call.

Bill Maher is an intelligent man. However, all of his arguments are still put together by a fragmented view of the world. He says some very powerful things that point to America’s deception. Yet the real deception in the world is the external conditioning that creates the fragmenting and deception of our own psychological sickness. Patriotism to any flag creates chaos that robs people of their brotherhood and connectedness. To think from any religious point of view is to put limitations on the power of human possibility for insight. The things of thinking can never in themselves bring about fundamental change! Thought cannot perceive or reach anything deeper than itself. So any movement, be it political, economic, or religious, will never go to the core of the problem that creates all this human disorder. Unless we stop being poisoned by the cultures we live in, or start to raise our children to be citizens of the earth, who don’t have to spend their life conforming to the culture we live in, we will remain self-centered, egocentric and violent. The picture the world has of mental health is of a person able to conform to a pattern of society and succeed in it by making a their fortune, whatever that may be. They forgot that actual success in this society is truly an indication of sickness. Less than 1% of the richest people in the world have 85% of the world’s wealth. This past bailout will end up, when it is all over, costing America trillions of dollars. Once we see we are stimulating the economy for the rich, by the rich, we will also see that we are costing coming generations hardship.
The world economy is based on war and the machine of war. This is nothing more than a reflection of our own consciousness, which is always setting up conflict, or the inability to get along. Bill Maher is a comedian who does a great job of pointing out fragmentation and holding it up for us all to look at. By doing this well he casts the idea into our minds that because we see the fragmentation or sickness of this world is it does something. BUT IT DOES NOT.
The only thing that will change the human experience is to remove from our hearts the things of the mind. That is the journey we are all on. To empty is to have no religion or political identification and to not let conflict become the dictator of thought itself. The pattern set out by thought is the wrong pattern. Any pattern thought projects itself into is a place where it doesn’t belong. Compassion, insight, and love can use thought and then thought has a purpose. Without compassion conflict will never end.

The day was hot and the air was still. Nothing seemed to be moving and the stillness of the air made it stagnant with heat. Across the field you could see it coming – the rustling of the grass and the bending of the corn. In a flash it seemed to be upon us.
It was noticeably cool and vibrant but it brought only a tingle of rain as it fell. The temperature was sweet and brought with it a sense of relief. We would sleep better tonight.
Insight happens when the brain is still. You have an unsolvable problem and you leave it. When you do and it is out of your mind, insight comes and then you understand it.
External psychology, with its danger to all relationships, must be understood and set aside by the mind and the heart. Understanding comes only when thought is quiet and intent without anything self-centered in its approach.
Beyond thought insight is, and one cannot think oneself to insight. Thinking is the movement of energy through the material called brain matter. Anything that is matter is limited. Insight is without limit and is not the product of matter. It comes in a flash and that flash allows for perception to be possible.
We see in flashes and therefore see partially. Whatever you see through insight is the act of freedom. Any insight that doesn’t liberate is false and still part of thought.
