Vier Vitruvian Virtues

If
Curiosity
is the First,

then,
Courage,
is the Second.

For what is found in pursuit of Truth,
Will shake your very ground.

Third is
Compassion,
for self and for other.


Fourth,
and final,
 in the foundational sense,
is Control of totality of one's self.
Less like a Tyrant...
More like a Conductor..
The less you subjugate yourself,
The less you suffer.

Learn to lead yourself 
like a child leads a puppy,
or perhaps more precisely,
like a puppy leads a child.
No leash,
no whip,
no treat,
All in.

+Curiosity+
+Courage+
+Compassion+
+Control+

Armed with these four,
You will go far
There is nothing else you need,
Nothing else to seek.

There are many more beyond the Four.
All can and will be revealed.
It is by these Four,
that the walls of your Temple shall be wrought.

A foundation of self,
which can't be stolen,
intimidated,
killed,
nor bought.

 

Post-consumer Capitalism

Unfortunately tyrannical systems don't care if you starve or kill yourself.

In many formerly "democratic" nations, there are no longer systems in place to hold corrupt officials accountable.

Ghandi would have been a nobody to history if he had been attempting to resist any of the axis powers from ww2.

The age of martyrdom has ended and revealed itself to have been only a passing dream. A convenient distraction from direct cooperative action.

the axis powers of our time are immune to such impotent tactics.

They are psychopaths and sociopaths and would probably have ai generate some memes making fun of you while you starve yourself and eventually die in your hunger or sleep.

We need A New Way.

A way which does not seek to awaken the sleeping compassion within heartless oppressors, but instead a way which gently shakes the walls of all our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep; those who have been enchanted, who have been weaponized and directed for means beyond and against their self interest.

And if we find no matter what we say, do, dance, or pray, that none may stir from their slumber, then we must find yet another New Way. One which builds, slow and steady, not against, but alternative to, the ever expanding and encroaching Technofeudalism, or perhaps more accurately,

A "Post-consumer" Capitalism. A Post-Citizen You.  

"Sin" Means to "Miss the Target." But no one ever mentions what you're supposed to be shooting at.

 The World Needs
Your love now more than ever.
But you won't be able to
Love the World
until you,
Love Yourself Fiercely First.

In your stumbling,
on that narrow way,
balancing authentic love
between
+
self and all
 +
above and below,
+
never forget that
+
+ Love+
+
+Real Love+
+
Is your target.
Your Goal.
Your Fuel.
Your Soul.
+

It is a Love that has never been written of before,
because it is a love which cannot be written,
It cannot be spoke,
It cannot be painted,
Nor further elaborated.

See But Truths

 Even the ignorant
Can unknowingly be
vehicles and transmitters
of great insight and wisdom.

Even liars can unwittingly communicate
great truths.

The oil that we squeeze,
has less to do with the seed,
and more with do with how we grasp and squeeze the thing.

Instead of judging,

SEE.

For the eyes and ears grasp with the intensity
of fifty thousand fists of flesh,

BUT

If you are too busy judging
your ears and eyes and mind
will all be far too preoccupied
to perceive the

TRUTHS

which are endlessly seeping through.

How We Do

They crucify me for my monthly liver,
and even while facing that fate,
I refrain from telling them,
that plants too-
 -feel pain.
.
That plants can scream,
They have communities, memories,
and know far more than you'd ever think is true.

It is one of those scientific truths
that I keep close,
for it is usually too painful for those who claim to pursue truth.  

What happens if it is impossible for you to be an altruist?
If the last little crumb
of your secret superiority 
turns out to be a misconception,
an erroneous fallacy.

So while I take your hate,
and keep my cool,
I can't shake the feeling,
that this too,
is a necessary truth.
For it exposes a key aspect
to the nature
of this world
The nature and relationship of all of our being,
with all other beings,
then together,
with the greater Being.

So if it is that both plants and animals feel pain,
perhaps it isn't "what"
but "how" 
we consume.
How We Choose.
How We Do.
That justifies the pain.

Firelight

 Where I am heading,
There is no Thanksgiving,
But an authentic daily giving of thanks.

Matter of fact, there are no "holidays"
-which are only anachronistic nets-
threaded with the lies and intention from forgotten times

But there will be 
Holy Days
& 
Holy Nights.
Those of true rapture,
The full divine spectrum.
Both profound and profane.

No creature need be sacrificed,
not even grain or rice.
For our 
Songs & Dance & Laughs & Joy
Will feed both our predecessors and protégés,
Will honor them as well as the myriad emanations of the 4
within and without,
above and below:

The four seasons,
The four elements,
The four fundamental forces of physics,
The four Archetypes of self.

Commodification U

At its inception social media was a way for us to share our experiences
Now it is a constant onslaught of trying to tell us what type of experience we should be having.

How we should feel
What we should think,
what our "take" should be.

Another one-liner to really win that next vapid quarrel.

It used to be a playground where artists, and coders, and photographers, and athletes and cooks,
and people from all walks of life,
Creating new forms of light.
We were able to come together and connect and share
to create new things in novel ways.

The digital landscape was a place where money didn't matter.
Where information and passion
where its lifeblood.

But moment by moment,
frame by frame,
It is becoming ever more constricted and restricted
matching the growing tyranny in the world.

Nay the truth is far more stark.

The internet has become the very means
of the New Tyranny
