Hypnotized Impotence
What happens when bipedal
Earthling artists are hypnotized
Into thinking feeling believing
That they have no power to
Affect or effect any change
Toward their own divine evolution
By means of dichotomous distraction
Through unaware competing sources
Hell bent on on inflating ego’s
Perceived as right and righteous
Unintentionally extinguishing
Sparks of divinity that could
Collectively shine as a beacon
Of light to get us out of this
Cyclical mess of fear greed
Consumption waste and hate
Not quite sure how well the following lyrics relate to the above, if at all, however they popped into my consciousness so, I’m leaving them here. Thanks for reading.
“My grandfather was a painter. He, uh, died at age eighty-eight. He illustrated Robert Frost’s first two books of poetry. And he was looking at me and he said, “Harry, there’s two kinds of tired. There’s good tired and there’s bad tired.”
He said, “Ironically enough, bad tired can be a day that you won. But you won other people’s battles, you lived other people’s days, other people’s agendas, other people’s dreams. And when it was all over there was very little you in there. And when you hit the hay at night, somehow you toss and turn – you don’t settle easy.”
He said, “Good tired, ironically enough, can be a day that you lost. But you don’t even have to tell yourself because you knew you fought your battles, you chased your dreams, you lived your days. And when you hit the hay at night, you settle easy, You sleep the sleep of the just and you can say, take me away.”
He said, “Harry, all my life I’ve wanted to be a painter. And I’ve painted. God, I would have loved to have been more successful. But I’ve painted, and I’ve painted, and I am good tired, and they can take me away.”
Now there is a process in your and my lives, in the insecurity that we have about a prior life or an afterlife. God, I hope there is a God, if He is – if He does exist He has a rather weird sense of humor, however.
But let’s just – but if there’s a process that will let us live our days, that will allow us that degree of equanimity towards the end, looking at that black implacable wall of death, to allow us that degree of peace, that degree of non-fear, I want in.”

Covid-19 was
Communicable

Does Jesus save lives
Or is it………. seatbelts
An inquiring mind
Wants to know
I saw both “signs” today
However, the seatbelt one
Looked more “official”
Plus it makes more sense
Perhaps Jesus is
A brand of seatbelt
If this wasn’t an inquiry
It would be borderline blasphemous
I just want to know how?
Is Jesus a doctor or a back up plan
If you forget your seatbelt?
With my limited knowledge
Yet best understanding
Jesus is / was an Ascended Master
Not sure what that is, however
It sounds better than some
Schmuck with a GED
Still doesn’t answer the question though.
How does Jesus save lives?
Is it the belief in the name?
The imagined personification of a deity.
Running around saving lives, but
Perhaps……..only if you……believe.
Isn’t he well known for already having
“Died” for people’s “sins”*
If it is forgiveness for your “sins”
Skip the middleman. Forgive yourself.
He’s busy. Has to be, saving lives.
Just like the billboard messages say.
Maaaaaybeeeee, forgiving yourself
Is the first step on the path
To becoming an Ascended Master

“I don’t even understand the connection with ‘died for your sins’. He died for your sin, well, how does one affect the other? ‘I hit myself in the foot with a shovel for your mortgage’…

I am not suggesting or insinuating there is not a Jesus. I can fully accept that there is an Ascended Master spiritual teacher named Jesus. Likewise Buddha and Mohammad. Plus all the other alphabetical Ascended Masters we never hear about.
To my best perceived earthbound human capacity ability to understand, it is within our divine right and reach to achieve as well.
I just think Jesus’s alleged beginning, end and race are quite contrived to serve a different agenda. One that doesn’t align with his teachings. Such as forgiveness, helping the poor, feeding the hungry and healing the sick.
Due to some super/artificial book transferred from tall tales passed on in millennia, finally transcribed originally in three different languages. None of which were English.
Rewritten reworded recontextualized by those who reigned in power at each time of its writing to “serve” that “time”.
Apparently at this time, forgiveness, helping the poor, feeding the hungry and healing the sick, (although still in the book describing his teachings) his most notable modus operandi are relegated as discarded information.
As now simple minds, through oratory retellings, graven brass and wooden images using caucasian features, that Jesus is a white (pink) republican gun-toting flag waving, xenophobic, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, merikkkan capitalist.
Whose only mission is…. saving themselves.

Geez, that is a long way from seatbelts, must have been looking through my binoculars.
Of anything exists anywhere
Therefore it all comes down to belief
Which is based on even less then proof
Otherwise there would not be people
Who identify as “flat earthers”…right
To “prove” my point can only use words
That will interact from this screen
To many screens or no screens at all
Through eyes into minds to cogitate
Over the proof less proof so to speak
Technically speaking I have no idea
If the earth is spherical or flat, however
Thrice I jumped out of a perfectly
Good airplane, where the Jump Master
Advised me to look at the horizon
To see the curvature of the earth
Upon seeing this looked all around
To observe that it was indeed round
Yet question the power of suggestion
Is 12,500 ft above sea level …..proof
Knowing my eyes have deceived before
Through mirages and imaginations
Vividly poor recollection and mind tricks
I assume that there must be enough of a collective rationale to accept the premise.
That, seems to be at the core of how the human mind operates……tricky.
Hearing or reading words describing near impossible plausibiliies, such as a flat earth. Clinging to them desperately to satiate a smug sense of self-satisfaction of control, when in reality there is no proof.
Except that you read it somewhere with attached flat pictures of a circular earth, or you heard it from someone you thought you trusted. Other than that, where’s the proof?
When you could look and feel deep within side yourself, the part that is connected and interconnected to everyone and all that is. To still not have proof, yet a tiny grasp of a wee bit of understanding how most perceived celestial objects, planets, moon, stars, black holes are spherical.
Therefore making the concept of arguing, counter arguing, over the shape of the earth, a dopey distraction. Impeding our evolution toward the enlightenment of all divine beings.
Which might be a worthy purpose, even without………proof.

It is strange how well
We can recognize stuff
Within us
That is outside of us
That we don’t like
Except when
We look in the mirror
Fixable problems
That won’t get fixed
Are not broken
They are “fixed”
The very essence
Of the law
Is to be
Above the law
In every aspect
It’s the wild west want of wanting an authority figure to fix fhings. From an irrational belief in an invisible man’s 10 commandments, as the premise for all other laws.
To the modern day worship and acceptance of rulings handed down by a man-made up man made, mostly white (pink) male “Supreme” court. Not a Reasonable or Compassionate court. Rather a Supreme (highest in rank or authority) court.
Thou shalt have no other gods / laws before me.
Why not, who or what is it going to hurt?
A)…………nobody and nothing
Back to the premise before I chase that tangent down a rabbit hole.
In the simplest terms, it is against the law to exceed posted speed limits. However, once exceeded, authority has the authority to exceed it further in order to “catch”, “fine” or arrest you (depending on how fast you were going).
Collecting revenues or setting examples so that authority is extra funded and respected / feared. With no other authority to fine or arrest the law, that broke the law. Hmmmm.
Making it truly the “suggestion of law” that does not apply to itself. So much for being a “Rule”.
Somewhere in the middle, lies, alleged intelligence agencies running black ops operations. Covert clandestine projects with money coming from somewhere accountable to no one known for sure. Caught or not caught the information is “classified”.
Yet, if an individual was running a cash operation either for good or ill and was caught, you can be sure the criminal division of the IRS would be knocking on doors looking for their cut.
Isn’t it cute, how double standards work?
And finally. Murder. Against the “LAW” Right?
Well, sorta, at least if the individuals doing the murdering, are not on the government’s payroll.
Locally starting with the “Blue” which has a little known clause to the “Rule” that gives them….”qualified immunity”.
Not only will you not need the Monopoly “Get out of jail free” card. You practically get the 007 James Bond “license to kill” privilege.
Such as if they see a person pull a thin rectangular device out of their pocket that lights up, they can fatally shoot that person. Get away with it, by suggesting that they saw a gun. I don’t know guns, but I also don’t know of any rectangular ones that light up.
Remember it is against the law to kill people. Unless…… corporations need cheap access to raw materials. Then all they have to do is raise and wave a flag of distraction to whip consumers into a patriotic frenzy.
Tell them there is a boogeyman out there, that is going to take away their alleged freedom, then all illegal to murder, bets are off, placed by taxpayers, willfully ignorant to the blood on their hands.
Not exactly an easy dichotomous distraction to distance oneself from.
In no way, shape or form has any of the above suggested defunding the police. Re-read it, if you have to.
However, when you see all those messages of “Back The Blue” along with pseudo symbolism of altered flags in gray, black and blue. (The color of bruises.) That appear to be torn. (You do know, what is supposed to be done with torn flags don’t you………..?)
When you see or hear that, ask yourself, what in God’s #@%$ sake……is being “Backed”?

We are very blatantly a private military
Carrying out only the will of your
Capitalist ruling class

All we can do is just share
A collective agreed to realty
In the time space continum
Made out of imaginations
Of processing information
Taken in through the senses
So that the / our world we know
Makes sense individually
Like a synthesized Matrix
Not run by a malignant force
That wants to control us
Rather a playground of energy
That we are all a part of, while
Figuring out how to play in it
On the spaceship called earth
Which is just really play ground

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten
by Robert Fulghum
Most of what I really need
To know about how to live
And what to do and how to be
I learned in kindergarten.
Wisdom was not at the top
Of the graduate school mountain,
But there in the sandpile at Sunday school.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don’t hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don’t take things that aren’t yours.
Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life –
Learn some and think some
And draw and paint and sing and dance
And play and work everyday some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world,
Watch out for traffic,
Hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.
We don’t know
What we don’t know
But that pales in comparison
To what we have
Opinions on and about
Stuff that we think we know
Yet, even if it differs*
From our precious opinion**
We will never admit that it’s wrong
That is opining
Not really knowing
*
Facts
Proof
Testing
Science
Analysis
Verification
Corroboration
**
Belief
Rumor
Heresay
Innuendo
Distraction
Indoctrination
Mass hypnosis
Yet
Hearing is at loss
For what I perceive
That I think I hear
Turns out not to be
The speakers intent
Rather filtered through
A small fleshy canal
Hammered immediately
On to an anvil before it
Stirs up memories held
In gray spongy software
From a lifetime of
Repeated indoctrinations
Mixed in with content
Tone and delivery
Timing, circumstance
And a whole range of
Surface and buried
Feelings and experiences
No wonder I am unable
To hear anything
It is so noisy in hear

Maybe I need
