If people really ‘got’ what an enlightened city is
parking and picnicking… staff works hard. Please honor them for their efforts. Seating at Soma’s Kitchen is limited by law so please only picnic in designated areas.
I heard an interesting concept: Illiteracy used to mean unable to read and write. The new illiteracy is unable to learn, unlearn, and relearn.
Deeper value of non-attachment is not an attitude, belief, behavioral mode, or theory. it is a state of consciousness.
In fact, that is why deep knowledge is so elusive. It is only understood on the level of one’s own consciousness. Knowledge is structured in consciousness.
True non-attachment is experienced when relative existence is perceived to be the thin veil that it is… maya
Enlightenment happens in a moment. comes on gradually but all of a sudden. Then the adjustment process goes on for years… eternally really.

Stupidity pandemic: the most highly contagious disease?

Just watching the news and seeing how people behave got me wondering: it’s all so stupid, but what is stupidity? what really constitutes stupid. When anybody watches the news they wonder, “how can people be so stupid?” I think it’s a common thing we all ponder from time to time.
What is stupidity? Deep inside everybody is smart and in fact, brilliant.
So stupidity is the result of what blocks that brilliance from manifesting. For a handful of people it’s a physical abnormality, brain damage or stress of some kind; but what is it for most people with reasonably healthy brain physiology?
It is understandable that so many long for a viewpoint, perspective or ideology that they can identify with. But that limited vision is not the way the world works and that is the root of stupidity. “The only true knowing is knowing that” your greatness lies beyond a viewpoint. And that limited vision is stupidity,,, is a very very very contagious disease. Stupidity is the cause of suffering.
Smart is just getting really good at one viewpoint, i.e. being really clear and good at being stupid. Dumb is just not even being at all coherently adhered to their viewpoint.
Intelligent sees and functions from a place beyond “smart”. It is functioning from the place of “Pure Intelligence”.,, the Transcendent, Chaitanya.
It all amounts to Field Theory… functioning from the Infinite Field of all Possible Paradigms, the Transcendent, Chaitanya: aligning with the perspective not that you have been indoctrinated into, but rather the one that best, most wisely and effectively, serves the moment.
why drugs make people stupid: clarity trips.
manifestation: when intelligence becomes intelligent

bible quotes
golden age: inevitable regardless of which party wins the election. as i have said for so many years, whichever party is in power when the golden age arrives, they will pat themselves on the back and say they got it right. but golden age is a certain as the sun rising… inevitable. the only difference is how smoothly it comes about. Armageddon or some bumps in the road.
Knowing all about it: path or obstacle?
