WINDOWS

Windows

Each and every man is a window upon the world.
In the house of mankind the windows are many.
To condemn any window for its’ view is beyond foolish for it is
stationary and can have no other view.

And so it is that all windows contribute and not subtract from our understanding of the outside world...And so subtraction here is purely a matter of not seeing. 

So to have only one window is truly limiting and you remain captive to your one and only view.
Hence, now what you do not see and understand is now beyond measure.
And so it is that the man who seeks new windows has a much and continued understanding of the world around him. He who does not hurts and condemns only himself.     

Death and Rapture

 Death and Rapture

Death and Rapture equal the very same thing = Gone, Taken
Two different methods, processes, paths, roads that equal the very same reality = Gone.

Death and Rapture both stand knee deep in human ignorance...Both incomplete roads.
But human insecurity gives rise to constant reaching...The need for explanation is overwhelming.
“That which gives life meaning”...But again I preach patience...and you know as well as I that Time will reveal all...Once again it is simple: "Gone" can not exist without the words Where and Why.

Look up into the heavens...There is no star that escapes the words Where and Why. Gone is a mere step in a staircase. And Time will deliver you to the next step regardless of your will, "perceived freedom" or whatever. So do look up into the night sky and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there exist wheres and whys beyond your wildest dreams...And slowly the word “Gone” will start to have new meaning.       

The Atheist

An Atheist is like a small bird who lands on an iceberg...It only understands what it sees. By nature it has no resource for comprehending that which can exist in a different an unseen world...Invisible but is supporting and connected.

Remaining intangible and not perceived the supporting undersea ice is far beyond measure for his small mind. Yet what seen and unseen require each other. One cannot exist without the other. Hence a universe with out God is pure nonsense and silly.  

This was once your picture...Oh... How things have changed.

There is no doubt at all that “thinking” causes you and me to paint the wrong picture! But I hear you say: “That’s silly Bill we can’t stop thinking.”  And I say to you yes and no. There is a time for thinking and a time for doing for and each has its’ place.

You need to accept the fact that you are indeed going to paint the wrong picture with your thoughts...And yes, it would be wrong to try to stops your thoughts. The true errors in the thinking process come in two forms. The first is to assume that your picture is the only picture. The perspectives, views, cameras, and paint brushes are many. And yes, you have a right to your view for it belongs to you. Does it belong to others? The answer is no. It shares commonalities such as the leaves on tress but no two trees are exactly the same. They are different and unique unto themselves.

The second problem is a matter of development. The thoughts of a 5 year old child and the thoughts of an adult do not belong to the same world. One shall be plagued by many trials and tribulations. The other shall have developed competent measures of success. It is foremost the experience of the road traveled...[and this implies???....] And yes, any words and reasoning will be of little value for those worlds are truly different and separate by necessity. Hence smiles and walls maybe the only and best form of communication between the a adult and the child. Hence it is a matter of development...that road traveled, that water under the bridge.

** So don’t stop thinking...Always know that there are new and different perspectives.
Know that you picture is not prefect...Know and understand that it is foremost unperfect and
that "walking the path" is always better than running the mouth. **   

The Buried Dangers in Specialization

The Over Specialized Lone Woodsman...

Let us now envision our modern form of specialization in the life of the “lone woodsman”.

We shall restrict him to the task of only collecting and cutting wood for his fire place. He shall do nothing but collect wood everyday,every week and every month. He now becomes out of balance. The varied  life sustaining jobs like getting food maintaining his shelter are out of the picture and now they are completely neglected. It is written in the book of nature that neglecting of this life balance any of these skills shall end life. So how important is this?

 He now the custodian of and ever growing pile of wood. He now has no food, water and soon will starve. Now let us farther narrow and focus into cutting and gathering only oak trees a particular kind of wood. He now becomes his very own worst enemy. Loosing scope and vision of what life requires he now practices insanity. Now we will farther increase the insanity by adding competing oak tree cutters into the very same woods. We have now increased his difficulties by ten fold. He has been beaten badly before he takes a single step into the woods!

Nature demands a group of skills for life and never just one. 

Foundations 6

 Specialization The Double Edge Sword

If I lived in the woods alone it would be life sustaining to be proficient at certain skills. Growing food, hunting, building shelters... hence there is variation built into these basic life sustaining jobs from the very start. Specialization is a necessity and life sustaining function.

The theory was that specialization could only grow to become the number one system for all. The basic set  life skills could now be farmed out to others. The trouble was no one thought that there could be a downside to all the promise of good that specialization archived. In short specialization is a fruit vine out of control or like a child not kept in check. Painful to prune the vine or discipline the child but so very necessary.

What is it that would grow neglected by the farming out of skills? Why is it that ones life focus should grow to become so narrow? What is the danger of ones life becoming too narrow? Limiting the scope of your vision is walking down the road toward blindness. Farther and farther limiting choices. Becoming more and more cog- like in the grand societal machine...ever narrowing in function and scope. Does this sound familiar?  Can not you reach deep down in inside yourself and feel that something is wrong?    

Man Alone -Ubuntu

As I look for support for my convictions it seems that the world itself has come to my aid.
So I now stand in complete conviction that so many are on the wrong road. It’s not about competition. It never was. Competition shouts: “It’s all about me!” “I am better than you!”
It screams of the self alone and as we have seen that equals death and destruction.

(I found this online-  How incredibly apropo!)

An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: ''UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?''~

'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are"

Apparently this kind of brotherhood is fostered by nature itself if left alone. This kind of behavior of individuals in the present day world is unheard and is shocking...and none can see it for what it really is.
It is so very sad.

 "I AM BECAUSE WE ARE" -How incredibly profound!

CRAFTING OF THE SELF

THE CRAFTING OF THE SELF

We have to start somewhere. You learn this sooner or later.
It’s just a matter of time. To understand scope you must have vision.
The blind man knows little of his place. The more you see the more you understand.

Foundations 5

The Faulty Foundations

In society something is amuck. All the evidence is there. I hope that you know and understand that our problems are deep rooted. That is that there is no easy fix. No bandaid solutions exist.
And because the problem is deep rooted its’ errors has spread upward in many directions.

To conclude the the machine should be scraped is ludacris and crazy. Too much good has been
archived. Natural law states that ALL shall come to some use. A deep rooted problem reports that much time was involved in its’ failing. So it is that a reverse healing will require at least as much time and pressure. Will changing society will be too challenging? Are the walls too high and too long? What do you have control of anymore? Do you have control of yourself? You must have control of you lest there is no help.          

MAN ALONE part 8

And so sharing out is given because it is required for all life...Because there are life needs that must be filled. The slightest glimpse of nature should make this very apparent.
Therefore the lack of needs or the condition of all needs sated or filled moves us in the very opposite direction. This guarantees no help given. Why? You don’t need it! Thus no relationship planted. No brotherhood born...And nothing is fostered. The very reasons for sharing out are annihilated. At this level sharing out in not an option. To consider sharing out as an individual option is to tear down or destroy that very wall which guarantees our survival. There is in fact no other option other than choosing to die alone.  

MAN ALONE part 7

Man alone  part 7

This “sharing out” of you is the  basic act that provide the support and the help of a continued   existence. This is the beginning seed of all human relationships. There is no other. This act of help forms that essential connective tissue between two like souls. It is the very birth place of brotherly love. So how is it I ask you once again that the number of men should alter, change, the reality of this equation of life? How is it that time itself should detract from this? Brother, what is it that has caused you to loose sight of the very root of life???    

MAN ALONE part 6

 I repeat this paragraph [in part 5] with a forced reason. It is my deepest concern that you do not take this lightly. It needs to be written into your DNA. Burnt into your mind. Eternally fixed in your soul. It can not change.

It is written that no God shall be feeding you grapes. You are called to act.   Apparently you are not free to do nothing. A course is set before you. At this level upon this earth your brother is your life! I ask you with great conviction: How is it that this could or should ever change? What justification? What fabrication? What insanity could you bring to this table? ...And “the number” of you make some difference? ...And “time” changes everything? How far from the very root of life do you now stand?!!!

Part 5  Man Alone

So let us refine the basic equation: The sharing out of you = life = a measure of sacrifice by you.
No, you can not keep all the food for yourself!  So it is at this level ...
 “A measure of sacrifice by you” secures help for you in survival without which you would otherwise perish. Once again note that there is no option here. No abundance of freedoms! Yes, I choose not to starve. This equation is the very tap root of all men. It has no nationality. No color. No religion. Those luxuries exist far beyond this simple water of life... This equation is foremost a wall of towering constraint for all men that has been forgotten, buried and suppressed over time...And so there is great cause for alarm.

FOUNDATIONS part 4

“Our society is a construction of a wooden platform” ... A holding and a constraining structure for humans. A deck for humans.
The deck dwellers now many generations past... removed and now high above and far away from the planet that brought them into being. They have now become aliens to their very own planet. As long as this wood structure holds they are able to carry on with their "deck-life". Helpless, blind, senseless, robotically existing in a sterilized world. Flat-world walkers where there exist hills nor dirt. What salvation is there for the deck dweller? What words spoken or written out could make any difference? Their only frame of reference is miles away and forgotten. In order to look for something you need to know that it exist lest all your searching be in vain!
Is any change possible with this alien form of human or do we just wait for the deck to collapse.
..And so the the clock ticks...

No, you can not keep all the food for yourself!  So it is at this level ...

FOUNDATIONS part 3

Foundations part 3

Equation:  Life on the deck = a false reality.

All of those who dwell on the deck have developed clean feet. This came as a result of not touching or not coming in contact with any dirt of the earth. Now they have come to believe that
“clean feet” is the new normal...They also have come to prefer flat surfaces. They now abhor dirt and hills and valleys of any kind. They now conform to a new and very limited, distorted dependent world. The deck separates, alienates, and imprisons them in its’ flat, clean little world.
Delusioned, imprisoned and most of all helpless they live in a false reality. It is written that all feet that walk upon this earth shall become dirty. It is a requirement for coming to terms and understanding our earth. And that is a privilege and not a hindrance... A very sad life indeed they have and so very plain to see.

MAN ALONE part 4

 Although it pains me to do so, I shall reduce this to an equation. Your Life = A sharing out. It is a constant. Your continued existence depends on it. If then it is written in stone that your life requires a sharing out then ANY form of selfishness gives rise to the destruction of the relationship between you and your brother man. Hence THAT guarantees the death and destruction of all. That beginning of “selfishness” is the undermining of all. And so it is that your brothers shall say. How is this that you keep extra food for yourself alone?! 

MAN ALONE part 3

So beyond all reasonable doubt this “sharing out” of our common life [or better said as common living] pursuit is no option... And God bless “that common”... the extra hand... the extra help lest I bear that burden of living all alone. This is the true relationship between man and his earth. I do not make this up. It comes from no book. It is and should be self evident beyond all measure! Any other course should be considered insanity. It is in fact a law of laws. It is a “must do”. It is a fundamental of a continued living.
To ignore it. To forget it. To pretend that it does not exist would be the greatest act of foolishness.

And how is it that this requirement of life should ever be lessened or ever changed in any way shape or form over time? The advent of additional hands to the task of simple existence should be no less than a triple blessing... And so on. So how is it that the crystal clarity of this vision of blessed brotherhood be diluted, forgotten and suppressed in our civilization over the years? And I ask you again how is this possible?

FOUNDATIONS part 2

You and the Earth

There is a relationship between you and the earth that for the most part has
been forgotten. It is as if I had built a wooden platform or a deck in my backyard
so that my feet need never touch the dirt again. No matter how much I reside on my deck the dirt is not going away. I can forget about the dirt and its’ qualities for a long while but the dirt is not going away. Generations can be raised on that deck as long as it stands but the dirt is still not going away. If anything, a great disservice has been handed to the next generation because they know very little about how and why the deck was built...And the dirt is still not going away. And as generations upon the deck continue we know less and less about the dirt, the very foundation upon which the deck sits... Our society is that wooden platform... and that dirt upon which it stands is Our Earth. 

MAN ALONE  *

What good is a man alone?
One man alone in the world is anything but a free man. His walls are many.
His humanness constrains him on all sides.
He alone responsible for his shelter...
He alone responsible for his food...
He alone responsible for his clothes...You don’t know how? . Can you live without these? No. Are you lacking? Yes.

If you are a pioneer mountain man are you still lacking? Yes.

His humanness still constrains him on all sides. No break in hunting.
No break in collecting firewood...No hope in sharing out any task because there is no other
for a man alone. Is he going to propagate?  No, he’s going to die off. Is he going to master the
world?  No... He will shortly die. He will run short of food. He will not stack enough wood.
He will fall prey to the environment. One can only conclude that act of sharing-out is “the
way of life” ...The only way of hope for any and every man!.. And so it is that one man say to the other "I can not live without you"... No choice... No option... It is not hard to understand?.. No doubt it has been terribly forgotten. It is the very root of sociality. The very beginning of brotherhood... There is no  helping hand for a man alone... and soon you will perish.

                                               *****************************

                                                 
 And so it is that one man say to the other “I can not live without you” At this so very basic level of life, is there any room for choice or the freedom of man?... Yes, it is but to choose life or death. There is no seed bed here for the fostering individualism or self interest...a "not sharing" on your part guarantees your death and demise. The sharing out out of you, brings you a chance at life. God bless the sharing out... Now alone I don’t have to collect all the fire wood all by myself...All the hunting all by myself...The building of shelter all by myself. There is now another of my own...Not dog nor horse...but of my flesh...the very same as me...God bless the world for another me-A brother of my flesh...Now I will have help...God bless help for without it I soon perish. And so it is at this so very basic level we only succeed together. Apart we doom ourselves to failure and death.

MAN ALONE

What good is a man alone?
One man alone in the world is anything but a free man. His walls are many.
His humanness constrains him on all sides.
He alone responsible for his shelter...You don’t know how to build a shelter?
He alone responsible for his food...You don’t know how make food?
He alone responsible for his clothes...You don’t know how? Sorry.
Can you live without these? No. Are you lacking? Yes.

If you are a pioneer mountain man are you still lacking? Yes.

His humanness still constrains him on all sides. No break in hunting.
No break in collecting firewood...No hope in sharing out any task because there is no other
for a man alone. Is he going to propagate? No, he’s going to die off. Is he going to master the

He will fall prey to the environment. One can only conclude that act of sharing-out is “the
way of life” ...The only way of hope for any and every man!..And so it is that one man say to the other "I can not live without you"...No choice...No option...How can this in anyway be that hard to understand?... No doubt it has been terribly forgotten. It is the very root of sociality. The very beginning of brotherhood...There is no  helping hand for a man alone...and soon you will perish.
