Is happening so fast
Because, everything
Is happening so fast
Just does not
Seem like it because
Velocity is constant
Earth is spinning approximately
One thousand miles per hour
Through space at 67k mph
Acceleration and
Deceleration do not happen
On a large scale
Which if it did……
You would freak the F out
If it did so, either by
Geocentric spin deceleration
(You would float above the earth
Or at least instantly lose weight
Either by gravity or fecal matter)
Heliocentric acceleration
(Have no clue what would happen)
If you were to freeze
A time slice
Which I suppose
Would be like
Capturing a Gideon*
Placing Bibles in
Hotel rooms
That time slice would show
What happened in one moment
In a Planckian nanosecond
Recognizing that what occured
Occured “back” there
During the “spin” of its
Last known trajectory
Still
Which is not happening
Because, everything
Is happening all at once
There is no thing / nothing
Not happening right now
It just happened
“Back” there
Which may be different
“Up” ahead

* comedic reference stored in my brain along with all the other space debris floating in there. None of which seem to be, functioning communication satellites.
“Who are the fucking Gideons?
Ever met one?
No!
Ever seen one?
No!
But they’re all over the fucking world, putting Bibles in hotel rooms.
Every hotel room:
‘This Bible was placed here by a Gideon.’
When?
I’ve been here all day. I ain’t seen shit. I saw the housekeeper come and go, I saw the minibar guy come and go, I’ve never laid eyes on a fucking Gideon.
What are they – Ninjas? Where are they? Where’re they from – Gidea? What the fuck are these people? I’m gonna capture a Gideon. I’m gonna make that my hobby. I am. I’m gonna call the front desk one day: ‘Yeah, I don’t seem to have a Bible in my room.”
– Bill Hicks
Same goes for “time slices”
Meanwhile, we are all just Angels,
Dancing on the head of a pin.
Or…..all me……or
Narcissism explained
Just another thought experiment
Placed in pixilated print
Since, in general, no two physical things, can occupy the same “space” at the same “time”.
Consider for a moment, your vantage point of the cosmos, puts you directly into the center of everything. Feeling narcissistic yet?
Everything emanates from you and returns to you. Try not to get to caught up with your self too much though, the same happens for all of us, five feet away or five thousand miles away. All eight billion of us.
Even those people in Low Earth Orbit researching the cosmos on the International Space Station. Scooting around the globe at 17,500 miles per hour just 260 miles above the earth are each at the center of their own universe.
As close as you may stand or sit next to someone, looking at the same thing. Even though you may be “on the same page” of understanding what it is. (Say this post for example). You can read the same words.
That is where the similarity ends.
(Even if places were “exactly” switched, the perspective would “still” have changed, as the planet has rotated, while speeding along its path, the air in the room moved, energy has been exerted and rested.)
While the words are the same, “concrete” as they allegedly are. Each are interpreted differently. Based on education, content, context, Capitalization, punctuation, understanding and get this…..personal beliefs.
For example, if I mention GOD, my intention comes from my long sought out, investigated researched, examined, balanced, questioning, perspective and is usually in an infinite energy context ( “An energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together.” – Obi-Wan Kenobi ) and is also interchangeable with the word, WORD.
Because nothing exists without W/words.
“In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
– John 1:1
“Word
7 a: the expressed or manifested mind and will of God”
– M-W.com
Two different people reading this, will put God in their own belief / perceived reality context. Typically, an invisible man living in the sky, or HOLY COW!!, there are sooo many other different daily interpretations, an immediate second one, is hard to manifest.
Save using the invisible man’s alleged son Jesus. Which, these days in America, is presented to the public as a white, blond, blue eyed, hippie, red hat wearing, gun toting immigrant scapegoating, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic republican.
When instead, of maybe / actually being born Jewish in Bethlehem, Palestine in the middle east over 2000 thousand years ago.
Which would have made him a brown skinned Master of Wisdom who taught people how to forgive, while making sure everyone was fed and healed.
Oopsie, got sidetracked.
Anyway, back to the notion that each individual is at the center of their own universe. Whatever you see, is interpreted through your brain or being.
For example, If you think/believe that someone is your enemy, who you have never even met. Primarily because you have been quickly or quantitatively “told” you have an enemy. Usually at the financial gain, of the party “informing” you, you have an “enemy”.
It boils down to your passive or active acceptance of that information. Satiating the need to have an external enemy instead of recognizing the worst one in the mirror.
But the activity surrounding those thoughts are going on in your brain. Seen with your eyes, heard by your ears, controlled within your cranium, pumping your heart, expanding your lungs, digesting your waste, moving your extremities. Again, it is all you, about you.
Without microscope or telescope, you can theoretically prove this is “true”.
Outwardly, everything in “front” of you, goes on infinitely. Regardless of which way you turn or face. Therefore everything behind you is at the edge of infinity.
(Nevermind the immediate following suggestion, otherwise you will have to stop reading without a prompt to start reading again.)
Close your eyes, (see) picture yourself on this planet, in its heliocentric orbit. Or as Casey Casem, used to say, “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”
Admire all the stars, planets, black holes, super novas, amongst the invisible space. It goes on forever, behind you then, is the edge of infinity.
I hope I am doing this justice, knowing my communication skills are fuzzy. Now look inside yourself as if under a microscope.
There is still a you, inside the fleshy skeleton supported casing. Is it in the heart or mind? I’m still looking, could be the heart or my big toe.
The freeing acknowledgement and revelation is accepting that “It is possible to live, and not know.”
– Richard Feynman
Infinity goes on forever, why wouldn’t infinite questioning go on infinitely?

In this brave new world
Raised by parental bosses
Loved by the economy
Fed a diet of consumption
Disciplined by debt
Educated by educated fools
Comfortably caught in
A rat race / endless maze
In search of government cheese
Long since having chewed on the cage
As a means to escape to live
Pushing levers just to push levers
Because there are pushable levers
Connected to nothing / no thing
Death means as much as life
Merely a replaceable cog
In an unstoppable wheel of
Remove replace recycle
Having been taught / taut to
Wash their brain themselves
Through pixilated pulses
At the last sink of seduction
Silent screens subduing
Silent SCREAMS
Having satiated their digitized
Rolling “Two-Minutes Hate”
“Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said;
“WE ARE ALL JUST PRISONERS HERE,
OF OUR OWN DEVICE(S)”
And in the master’s chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can’t kill the beast”

“Dying swans twisted wings,
Beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life,
In this garden of fear
I have seen many things,
In a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more,
Bring this savage back home
Wilderness house of pain,
Makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain,
Messiah before his fall
What you see is not real,
Those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your souls
To this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dragon kings dying queens,
Where is salvation now
Lost my life lost my dreams,
Rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams laughing here,
Dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned
In this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world

In a brave new world, a brave new world

Anyone else taking bets, that the “Back The Blue” vinyl stickers typically found on the back of wannabee monster trucks, is just a chip placed on the table, in the gamble of, if they get pulled over, there is a better than statistical chance it might prevent a ticket?
With the bigger the sticker, the higher the odds? Even though none of the money inferenced as support goes towards actually supporting the police, but rather towards the “House” of the owner of the sticker making company?
Or are people such megalomaniacs, they have to ingratiate themselves to themselves by posturing where they stand in the quicksand of society by forcing you to read an empty message, as thin and weak as the plastic it is cut from?
Vain, empty, soulless drivers in self-driving vehicles, powered by empty clichés and regurgitated slogans.
Maybe that autonomous car could swing by the library and drop off the driver to learn that it could truly be autonomous and not be controlled by weak outside facade forces. Such that stickers will not sway their swagger.

In the Space-Time loaf
Are much tastier
Than bland reality
Though the flavor only lasts
A Planckian nanosecond
Savoring moments of
Miraculous awareness
Traveling through this
Dense divine dimension
Sitting at a not so solid
Table and chair
On a mantel above
A sea of molten magma
Rotating at 1000 mph
In an outer band of stars
Hurling through an abysmal void
Chasing uncatchable galaxies
At 1.3 million miles per hour
Going nowhere fast and how
Not knowing where we are at all
Nor when we have been…ever
(Where this “should” have stopped.)
And still………
We have the audacity and conceit
To focus what little attention
We can spare on the narcissistic
Exhibitions and goings on of one man
And his band of distraction desperados
“Ever wonder why we’re #ucked up as a species?”

Searching for a start of it all (The Big Bang)
Justifying a beginning (Any Bible)
Believing in either
Only seems to quantify
Perhaps the preciousness
Of existence itself
Otherwise
If there is no beginning
Then, there is no end
Concluding that
Life loses its value
Whence nothing could be
Further from the truth
The speck of consciousness
That one is, has, experiences
Is miraculous
In each / every moment
For previous and subsequent
Moments are infinitely fleeting
Here today !!!!!!!!!!
Gone tomorrow ????????
Schphwwwwwt, nowhere
Instead of now here

Finally finished Brian Greene’s audio book. “The Fabric Of The Cosmos” Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality.” (I think)
Or as Steve Martin said,
“If you’re studying geology, which is all facts, as soon as you get out of school, you forget it all, but philosophy, you remember just enough to screw you up for the rest of your life.”
Brian finally mentioned the possibility, that all that is, always has been. Even credits Richard Tolman, with that theory. However it was given short shrift, as if, like above, that life would be meaningless.
Whether there is a start or a finish, or none at all, life is what you make it, with the cards you dealt yourself, to your self.
Ooops, that is a layer of responsibility not too many would want to contemplate. That, according to Helen Wambach’s book, “Life Before Life”, through hypnotic research, that you…you may have picked..your parents.
Oh wait, like infinity, that is just a theory.
“Infinity is so big, that everything that has ever happened, on earth in the exact same order, down to………. that … pause has happened an infinite number of times, all through out the universe.
Everywhere in space, there is a you, making the same colossal f**king errors, that you’ve made your entire life.
So if anybody ever tells you, you can do better. Go, apparently not.”
That’s infinity.”
Joe Rogan
Me, as an observer, in the “loaf of infinity” of space-time am trying to recognize and appreciate what occurs in the “time slices”.

So does abbreviations
In a reasonable context
A vehicle passed me twice
Shows you how fast I can go
Perhaps it was my motoring muse
Giving me a topic to write about
Anyway, it had a vanity plate
That read NOJESUS hmmm
There was no other signage
Or stickers on the vehicle
To put this in a context
Was the driver an atheist?
Or Christian misspeller?
A license plate frame
With words would help
Like “There is” or
“To be a better person”
Which is when you realize
The message is not
For the road reader
But rather the person
Who paid extra to
Communicate a mixed message
That ironically appeals to
Two different audiences
Ooopsie
Being in the middle of the road
(Actually, I stay in my lane)
I do not know whether
I “should” “know” Jesus
Or ponder that there
May be No Jesus
Must keep driving
Maybe they’ll pass
Me again and I can
Flash lights and honk horns
Stop and have a conversation
Which may be just what
They wanted in the first place

Between movies, the news and documentaries, when ever someone is killed in a sneak attack and gunned down, by drive bys, by hit men ordered by mob bosses, it is considered and described as a gangland style murder.
Between movies, the news and documentaries, when ever someone is killed in a sneak attack and gunned down, by fly bys, by generals ordered by Presidents, it is considered and described as a successful military operation.
Ooopsie.
Different mob, different mob bosses, different mob rules, to rule the mobs of people.
If an individual civilian of his own freewill listens to the voice in his head, tells him to kill someone. He is a murderer, if he does it more than once, he is a serial killer.
If a specific race, religion or gender is targeted, it is a hate crime, if it is against a spouse, it is a crime of passion. Clarifying murder, to dole out possible punishments.
If an individual “peace officer” of his own freewill listens to the voice in his head, tells him to kill someone. (Who may or nor be armed) He might get a few weeks off paid leave, because he has qualified immunity.
If an individual soldier of his own freewill listens to the voice of his commander, tells him to kill someone, he is doing his job by defending freedom and democracy and is considered a hero.
When are we going to have a meeting on this “Thou shalt not kill” memo / commandment /law ?
But in the game of life, and who owns the Monopoly board, it is in the chance deck of cards, we all get to draw from.
Whether or not you may legally murderer a bi-pedal oxygen breathing, monoxide exhaling, red-blooded, skeleton supported, solar powered, carbon-based, large brained, earth inhabitant omnivores.
All depends on one’s deceptive perspective.
Murder is murder, yet,

To the inquiry of, “If a tree falls in a forest, with no ears to hear it, does it make a sound?”
The high probability answer is no.
The update being, “If a microscopic dot, in the most *void of voids, explodes, into the entirety of the infinite cosmos, does it make a sound?
The answer is no / know.
*(even a tiny pencil mark on a large piece of black paper, is surrounded by paper, having a frontside, backside, edge, thickness, flexibility, etc.)
All of the theoretical physicists or layperson on the street would know this. Deducted from all possible logic, that there were no ears to hear, or devices to measure and record.
So why then, is the improbable, illogical, unsubstantiated claim, that all that is, emeged from what is called “The Big Bang”?
Because, The Big Silence” doesn’t sound / sound, exciting or attention grabbing. It has no oomph. No noise to distract.
Besides “The Big Bang” is in constant competition with “In The Beginning”…..
No one is vying for anyone’s attention in the “Everything is as it is, merely changes shape, heat and light” category (not theory).
How it came about is immaterial. Hehe.
Those people, like myself are taking advantage of linear perceived, directional arrow, moments to appreciate the consciousness to observe the sound and light show of other beings being so distracted in a futile search for the justification of their existence. Like it “matters” anyway.
Uninspired by Brian Greene’s audio book “The Fabric Of The Cosmos” Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality.
Thinking as I keep listening to it, some acknowledgement will surface that a quasi-realization will occur, such as the big bang is at its very best, a poor theory.
Oddly enough though, everything else resonates very clearly as to the makeup of the cosmos, down to the tiniest sub-sub atomic particles like quarks, neutrinos, gravitons, Higgs ocean, (if I understood, correctly, makes up the empty space between the not so empty “space” etc., also considered fairly enough “the God particle”).
Cross referencing all the big names in mathematics, quantum and theoretical physicists, Newton, Einstein, Raphson, Maxwell, Bohr, as to how each provable step backs up previous steps with more accuracy and “proof”.
Maybe by “time” I get to the end of the book, the conclusion about the Fabric of the Cosmos is that it is a never ending roll, in an infinite loop.
Then I can rest easy, knowing the scientists know, what I know. LOL.

On the edge of a field
On a very very hot day
Nestling in amongst
What appeared to be
Moisture filled foliage
A cow covered itself
In shade and cool
Popped their head up
To look around like
It was playing
Hide and seek
Rather just wanting
To make sure it would
Be left alone so
It could relax and
Read a book in peace
And for just a moment
I thought I was that cow
