Electrons are good, protons are bad!

Everything that is ‘good’ is a negative.

We seem to associate good with positiveness and bad with negativity but in the old and ancient languages it was totally the opposite.

For instance there is no such word as truth. The only original word in truth is Oblivion. 

(Forgetfulness, some would say concealment).  

Truth is the negation of Lethe.

Same in Buddhism all good virtue is the negation of a poison, unwholesome root

Opposite wholesome qualitiesThe three wholesome mental factors that are identified as the opposites of the three poisons are:

amoha (non-bewilderment); prajna (wisdom)

alobha (non-attachment)


advea (non-aggression, lack of hatred); mettā (loving-kindness)

So there IS NO truth then! :)

Science and CONscience

Two words that should mean the epitome of human endeavour right?

WRONG!

Both of them are highly and I mean highly corrupted by other heavily human factors.

Pride, Greed, Ignorance for instance, almost always coming back to the three poisons here, Gautama must have been on to something. J

When science is not obscured by pride and ignorance it is heavily tainted by greed and aggression, i.e. the best minds of the planet selling their souls to the devil aka so-called ministry of ‘defence’ more like the ministry of offence, lies, and bullshit.

Now on the word conscience, WITH knowledge, usually heavily slanted, twisted and repressive knowledge of a particular group much in love with their ethereal power made of thin air and different for each group too:  A very muddy well at best.

Anyway we got about 1.5 billion years to wise up. Considering homo sapiens is relatively young that is quite a long time but by then we might have to move temporarily to Mars before the Sun collapses and that is if we survive the collision of the Milky Way with Andromeda and another billion things that could happen to us.


Or Brian Cox maybe right and No life form hangs around long enough to be consequential or to amount to anything really

21,500 days on earth

Copying someone again as I said again and again none of us are ‘originals’, none of us are free.

What’s new? Same old same old, last spree was getting quickly bored by a young American with nothing new… another form of Amazing Atheist, another vlogger vaccinated with a gramophone needle pushing his shite, selling his snake oil anywhichway he can.  One good way is to comment on popular issues and viral YouTube’s videos this way you can ride the coattail of someone else and STILL cash on the leftovers: the American way.

What is he selling? Hot air and bullshit like everyone else. Snake oil accompanied by many flavors to get the maximum attention. A young kid who has watched too many YouTube in fact selling the old libertarian idiocies he has learned from Penn & Teller, a little bit of Osho here (without the abort and sterilise hypocrisy) a comment on news and popular criminals, opinions galore on many subjects, a seethed machoism and hate for feminism if I get the gist right ..all that to point to a pseudo matrix cure all who can’t seem to be enough of a cash cow to afford a fucking tripod.

His dissing of education because HE doesnt have any makes it lame and his dabbling in heavier intellectual subjects becomes even lamer.  

Maybe it is Alanis Morissette all over again! J Oops Alzheimer’s slip AGAIN!  Not Alanis but Jewel rather the Kilcher one.  Maybe he IS Pieces of Me. J 
But then again he too could listen to that song.

Another manic vlogger, 400 plus vids in less than 3 years, consistent so far but then again it is like a free commercial innit?

Why bother about him? Why bother about anything? 
Got sick of him quick, got sick of his Osho fake bullshit as well.  

The most important thing about Osho that his popular video on Marriage and Children does NOT mention is this:

“There were no children born in the ashram." 
" About 87 per cent of residents had a sexually transmitted disease "

Nuff said!

That was a short break anyway in my favourite escape to which I should go back soon really. 
I mean what else is there better to do? 
I just ran out of dopamine feeding for a while and got deflated, 
tired of it but it’s a life as good as any if not better.

All this thinking might be overrated after all you may be right young man! J 
But unlike you I got nothing to sell, not being American might be a help here since this selling bullshit seems to work so much better in America for all these young Anthony Robbins out there who are totally oblivious that there are 7 billion people on earth not a market of 300 million that there are such poor countries and continents as India and Africa and even huge part of China and Brazil the so called BRIC where all their bullshit is exactly that: bullshit.

In the meanwhile I’ll go back to ‘breathing’ on something else while I still can.

On another note last night was interestingly sad watching Warren and Glen all led to it by the inevitable love of cracked! J

Alzheimer’s always seems to me to be a fate worse than death, like being buried alive… was it Nick Cave or someone else lately that said something like what are we if not memories? 
No memories = No meaning.

Now on another note

Attachment is the source of all suffering.

All this Buddhism bullshit is really starting to sound deadly wrong to me.
As if in being a sentient animal was never meant to be.
All life has always suffered and as far as I know always will until the end, until death, 
to some the last suffering to others the end of all suffering.

Avoiding all suffering at all costs now is a strange way where many mystics have got lost. 
Avoiding all suffering at all costs is also a good addiction motto,
alcoholism and heroin preach that as well in their way.

Since suffering in general is often as inevitable, inexorable ( I love this word) as death 
and maybe both are not meant to be avoided at all cost.  

We are lucky in the western hemisphere at least and in the present time span to be able to avoid much suffering thanks to many drugs and anaesthesia. Just a short time ago, an amputation for example was a lot of alcohol and bite something hard and try not to pass out from the pain.

Anyway my point is that this ‘detachment’ on top of a holy mountain is an extreme not better than the attachment to the right or wrong thing or people.  
Osho comes back to mind here as he is somewhat interesting in his “brave new world” approach of children being raised by the commune but his practical approach utterly sucked as it does usually among imperfect humans, the most imperfect always being the leader totally corrupted and drunk with power.

The good old power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
It IS in our DNA and that too is inevitable and inexorable.
Therefore there is no solution to the human problem.



So this “do not get attached” i.e.do not love anything or anyone is just bullshit selfish narcissism.  

Sentient beings are MEANT to suffer as long as we have a physical body and a soft heart.

So here it goes as always all problems and no solutions, all questions and no answers à la Socrates.

Now you do the thinking I is too tired! J

Not infinite but very ephemeral.

"If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: infinite".

But man, especially this man or any ‘man’ for this matter, is NOT Infinite. 

No Life is.

Life: A very temporary thing for the fruit fly, the tsetse fly, the mayfly (ephémère in French), the rabbit and the impala, the lion and the wolf and US.

My consciousness is very finite and the future of my billions and billions of atoms is of little concern to me, stardust or not.  

And what we do with this little consciousness while we have it is probably very limited as poets of the like of Blake, Huxley and Morrison would say.

Ephemeral from the Greek Epi Hemera, upon one day:
a day being a conceptual length of time.

Limited consciousness to the point where the highest IQ could easily be a psychopath or a criminal, an arm dealer or worse. 

Limited consciousness where there is no solution visible for this race in an infinite amount of time except maybe total and complete extinction and annihilation, the ultimate solution. 

In fact we are no more important to the "laws that be"  than any other species who have all gone extinct and will go the same way no favour granted here for our so-called superior intellect.  

We have been here for a very short time all considered and all our endeavours will disappear with us. 

I doubt it will take all the four billion years this little ball has left.

So in the meanwhile
we can all fuss and mutter
and pretend we matter.

The thing about Russell Brand

Don’t get me wrong I love a great mind, I love a bipolar, and I know one when I see one. The man can surely talk as if he was vaccinated with a gramophone needle for sure and his 78 RPM could certainly be tuned down to 33.

Anyway he talks about an awful lot and no one could really put up with his manic state for too long but this editing video about transcendental meditation and yoga is dizzying to say the least, not to mention the annoying new age music in the background.

Why O Why can’t we just listen to words? 
Why do we have to add editing music like if life was a movie and we all needed a soundtrack behind every move and word?

Anyway this “new” oriental thing is not new at all and like always people rally behind celebrities’ fad. Remember the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and what a fraud it all was?

Nothing new under the sun and like Paul Simon says we hear what we want to hear and disregard the rest.  Yoga and meditation fans will USE Russell Brand to support their twist too.  

Some of us want to use some of us want to be abused blah blah blah.

Russell could never convince anyone for long anyway as manic is too high to follow for most and too convoluted to keep up with. I should know.

The thing about oriental also is that they rarely present us with the full context of old strange beliefs in elephant gods and blue Krishna lying and the million strange legends we are unfamiliar with which are just as senseless and irrational as our western legends of water into wine and resurrections and what not.

Try to study the Upanishads for a while and let me know.

 I have mentioned this many a times but that is basically it. 

Russell is cute and all and different and let us all  be different  but then again let us all be aware too, aware that we cannot know and that we are apes, a form of life like any others that knows nothing at all about life except that we are alive for a very short time.


End of a short story before I turn into Russell Brand myself! J

Sorry Satchmo!

Sorry Satchmo
but as long as I live I will stand with another big black bloke because it is NOT a wonderful world and none of us are free.

Watching an old video of Cranberries’ Zombie made me sad at the reality of the immense suffering of us all and in our human perception also the ‘worse’ suffering of ‘innocent’ children too often by other not so innocent children as well.

I was reminded of how much I hate the word resilience and the need for it even having it in some primary schools guidelines and motto.

Life itself needs to be ‘resilient’ I know but I am a dreamer, a Herbert George dreamer of Elois without Morlocks of ‘good’ without ‘evil’.

We are apes after all.  Our only biggest problem is hubris being the dominant species we think it means we have achieved some special status.  The dinosaurs were a dominant species at one time too and look what happened to them.  

We are no better.

A two year old can enjoy the suffering of another two year old and it will always be like this. There will always be mindless senseless wars crimes and violence.

One would think life is fragile enough without this added killing right?

Strangely enough one of the biggest killers is a silent one but still an affront to the ‘special gift’, the privilege, the random lottery of Life: Suicide.

Anyway back to my muttons here, (artistic freedom free translation), our biggest fault is hubris to think that man is the cat’s meow of ‘creation’, the ultimate good act of an all knowing all powerful all good super fairy.
Man is the dominant species for NOW and that’s it and in TIME it means nothing.

We’re the big lizards of this temporary minute in the space time continuum.

But we ARE lizards.

Always will be.

Our medulla oblongata will always be much larger than our tiny pineal gland (the size of a grain of rice) the seat of our dreams of grandeur and all of our delusions.


But all this won’t matter in time again as the circle of life will all bring us back to this tiny unimaginable nothingness of the beginning and the end of the universe, either a tiny dot containing all ‘creation’ (so impossible to fathom) 
or better a huge big black hole of nothingness, 
no consciousness, 
no feelings, 
no knowledge, 
no nothing 
and certainly no big ape temporarily called homo sapiens sapiens.

My face is not a pipe.

This is not my face.

Many won’t repost but 
I, I, I, 
will be a 
monkey see, 
monkey do 
and try with the others to bully you into conformism as if MY reposting will change ANYTHING at all .

Social Medias and their sheepish trends I tell ya!

It almost makes you want to turn into an Orwellian Conspiracy Theorist or at best a Huxleyan one anyway.
The mad rehash is enough to question your sanity every day
and asking yourself What the Hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here …  
♪ ♫ ♪ ♫  humming along with Thom Yorke’s Creep.

Facebook is just not FACE book anymore.  
For one thing many don’t have FACES 
but either faces of their animals, their children, 
or a picture of them 40 years ago.

I know I know that my face is not a pipe! ☺
but still I personally like my Facebook to be my recent face. 
Plus I tend to disagree that my life on Facebook is far different from my real life and a false representation of a happy life… 
ok maybe it is as  narcissistic as anyone though because I am good at the Pond Admiration Thingie.

Plus instead of PERSONAL news which is mainly why I got on the fucking boat to begin with, almost forced to, having children and grandchildren at the antipode of the planet, 
all I get is news rehash, and the one I hate the most a pseudo GUMTREE where someone is trying to sell me some shite
OR trying to help
their grandmother second cousin’s neighbour
to sell her shite for “free”.

Another is the photos that will make you puke your breakfast the Barnum & Bailey Freak Show of tortured animals or other horrors. 
Hell if I wanted to walk into that tent I would pay the fucking quarter but since I don’t want to, keep that fucking curtain closed to my sensitive heart and eyes will ya?

I KNOW VERY WELL
 there are a million horrors in the world, 
correction a trillion, 
but I don’t want to see all of them at once.

I have this very strange idea 
(and PETA would kill me for that) 
that as far as PRIORITIES are concerned 
the day we treat ALL HUMANS right and properly 
then I’ll move on to animal welfare. 
In the meanwhile I will treat my animals properly and try to live with myself while I eat chicken or lamb.

I mean I am not an activist at all, they are crazier than I am, but if I was one my cause would be humans, 
preferably children as this one alone is an endless, ungrateful cause to serve to begin with.

Write about what you know they say 
so since I spend too much time on Bookface 
I thought I’d write about that a little now. ☻
