Parallels between Socialism and Spirituality

The interpretation of Marley and Haile Selassie through images in this video is compelling.

The title is misleading, ideology between the two is far and few between. Until you examine the fine line. Let’s dwell on that for a moment. Is it not the greater good that serves us all? So to sacrifice one small loss to benefit the many is an acceptable outcome. Unless you succumb to thinking… that which capitalizes on your expectations. This hopes to inspire your selfish inhibitions and takes away from your natural thought. You step on the many in order to be accepted in the circles of few. And the Sharks you swim with are carnivorous. You might have the innate ability to sense this, and does that knowledge change the end result. Will those you shed blood with patch your wounds when your time arrives?

The concept of state and public ownership, this is a delicate proposition to consider. That trust of the many is placed on the few. In considering this alternative there is no discernible difference. Trust in humanity is the foremost concept, but it has been proven incorrect in all past instances. Where does this discussion lead? All forms of government are essentially the same. Either elected or not, the responsibility is placed on shoulders of those which time has proven are not worthy. Is it the natural inclination of those in power to deviate from that which is right? That greed and self serving purpose has crushed the intentions of those who have the naïve illusion of public service. We have negotiated the meaning of humanity, and to what end?

The years of civilization experienced through mankind has led to this dismal state of being. All other facets of life have benefited through this supposed progress. We correspond amongst ourselves faster than ever before. The medical field has given us miracle cures, for the most common ailments as well as the absurd needs to address male sexuality. We travel in ways unimaginable to our ancestors. The advancement of technology has undeniably improved the way we experience life. In the process of gaining these marvelous advancements, have we lost touch with that which is inherent in humanity? We have arrived at a point in life where society is in conflict with the self, nature, family and society.

We have been delivered to a point of discord. Between ourselves and those who we believe are separate. The ideologies instilled by society, that of god, service and country have provided the disillusioned division among race, wealth and culture. Are we not of the same biological consistency? Do we not experience suffering and joy in the same manner? The re-examination of self is the only mode of action to be taken in order to arrive at the point of true resolution of conflict. We must revisit the idea that division of men through nationality and social status is glorified tribalism. Investigative experimentation is essential to spiritual experience.

Soul's Recognition

Life passes us by without giving us the oppurtuinity to experience its beauty. Empty your soul in order to replenish it. Without understanding, comprehend. Don't allow past experiences to affect your perception. Learn and move on...
Thanks to Nikita, I never thought anyone's voice could come close to Lata Mangeshkar.

Why Not?

Why not Peace? Why not Love? You tell me. When you get to the point when your bones are tired, does that excuse you from any further effort? No submission. Life is worth much more and ideals are worth their weight in gold. Don't you agree? Are you in the wrong place, misguided by what you think is the formula for sucess? Give me a few dollars and an ocean view. Thats happiness, one I can envision. Outside of my 401k and stock options. Forget the condo fee's and viking kitchen. Give me a hut and fish without mercury.

Individual Mind

Society places an unnecesary burden of conformity on the individual. This will undoubtedly make it difficult to hold on to original thought. But cherish that which is yours, formed through personal experience. Those very precious gems which form a code of conduct above any written law is the basis of humanity. We are born with an innate ability to distinguish that which is essentially good. We experience wrong and are disillusioned by the sheer magnitude of selfishness that is prevelant in todays world. To recognize that uninspired behavior and not react appropriately lays the responsibilty at our feet. We can relflect on all that is evil, and can maintain that we are not the cause. But with the view of all things being interconnected there is no way to persuade ourselves that we are innocent of these charges. One is all that is needed for change.

What is life

What is life, life is dream... Confucius dreamt that he was a butterfly, dreaming he was a man. When he awoke he thought Am I now a man thinking I dreamt of a butterfly or Am I a butterfly now dreaming I=m a man. Let=s now talk of modern thinking. Money is the key to life; however you approach it. What purpose does it serve? Does it provide the continuation of a decrepit lifestyle or does it promote a seasonal change of enlightenment. A soul bonded by material wealth is subject to certain reflection; while that same which is born of light is disillusioned. What is it now that attracts? Is it all that has been dreamt? Or is it what you have felt? Life has never left you. Nor the ideals that you held in childhood.

Proper Dispensation

Who are you? Illegal shitstem dubbing us illegal aliens, the worlds children have a right to live. Who are you? Nature that you robbed, provided me with life now you restrict me from that which is mine, birth right is the only deed I have. I don’t subscribe to your thinking or way of living. Where is my place when I don’t believe in violence nor do I subject myself to your way of thinking? Caught between Gandhi and Malcolm, I have no recourse. Give me a reason to be civilized when you don’t conduct yourself in the same way. Does my arrogance offend you? Or does my humility disarm you? The decision is not yours. My strength, perceived as weakness amongst your degreed thinking gives me the ultimate right. While wisdom is mine you claim knowledge. Unable to comprehend the next stage of consciousness.

Sentiment

Art is madness. Madness is art. Whose perception relates to understanding. Any relevance, there is no way to grade that which is genius. No brush stroke or choice of color, intelligence on canvas is debated by critics. But never those who suffer, whose voice is sacrificed, in as futile a pursuit such as art. At times, we need to surrender. To expressing that true self outside of correct grammar and proper prose. And give in to that surreal beauty… that of a woman.
