I think with intuition. The basis of true thinking is intuition. Indeed, it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells a man his purpose in life. One never goes wrong following his feelings. I don’t mean emotions, I mean feelings, for feelings and intuition are one.
~ Albert Einstein (b 1879)

Whenever a feeling of aversion comes into the heart of a good soul, it is not without significance. Consider intuitive wisdom as a Divine attribute, not a vain suspicion: the light of the heart has apprehended intuitively from the Universal Tablet.
~ Rumi (b 1207), Persian poet, jurist, teacher of Sufism, theologian

Language is the expression of ideas, and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language.
~ Noah Webster (b 1758), American writer, editor, lexicographer, textbook author, Bible translator, spelling reformer, authored American Dictionary of the English Language, published 1828

The next issue of Staying Awake will publish July 9, 2006. We will explore the evolving compassion of Earthlings for all other Earthlings in what may appear as historical times of illusions’ extrusions.
 
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
~ Victor-Marie Hugo (b 1802), French poet, writer
Art is a microscope which the artist fixes on the secrets of his soul and shows to people these secrets which are common to all.
~ Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Leo Tolstoy) (b 1828), Russian novelist, social reformer, pacifist, vegetarian
We are a people who are massaged by fictions; we grow up in a sea of narratives and myths, the perpetual invention of stories.
~ Ben Okri (b 1959), Nigerian poet, novelist
 
 
Art is the language that is the language of the heart, that is the language of the emotional structure.
~ Margaret Mead (b 1901), cultural anthropologist, focused studies on problems of child rearing, personality, and culture
In the sweet territory of silence we touch the mystery. It’s the place of reflection and contemplation, and it’s the place where we can connect with the deep knowing, to the deep wisdom way.
~ Angeles Arrien, author, educator, consultant, cultural anthropologist
In order to live a rich life, everything about who you are must be one, in alignment, and in pure harmony.

Our constant curiosity is key to watching what’s being created.
~ DM

Good Day, Everyone!

Live your life freely, generously giving love and attention, being grateful all along for your life — be fascinated by your intuitive nudges!

Here’s a recent message spoken on Internet as an empathic vigilance from elders whose ancestors’ wisdom is brought to our attention. The message speaks to global grievances wrapped gently in communion with nature.

There is a river. There is a river flowing very fast. It is so swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart, and will suffer greatly. Know that the river has a destination. The Elders say, we must let go of the shore. Push off into the middle of the river. Keep your eyes open and heads above the waters. And I say, see who is in there with you, and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment we do, our spiritual growth comes to a halt. The time of the Lone Wolf is over. Gather yourselves together. Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary. All we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones that we were waiting for.
~ A message from the Hopi Elders, April 2003. The Hopi, a Native American nation, live primarily on a 1.5 million acre Hopi Reservation surrounded by the Navajo reservation in northeastern Arizona, USA.

The message above may inspire you to stay awake to possibilities, and to your sensibilities. In these raucous times, a good indication that you are observing a moment of cognition and wisdom and enthusiasm is the release of stress in laughter or tears, or maybe both at the same time. Whatever possibility comes, enjoy that moment of choice as your life — a moment of spontaneity to remember your intuitive nature, intentions, and freewill.

Habitat of Humans

We human beings are only one part of the whole of nature, and the habitat of humans is compellingly magnificent: The control of imagination by language. Considering language is the habitat of humans, are not all living beings on Earth dominated by humans’ habitat?

For example. Language controls the appearance and disappearance of species’ habitats on Earth. Some biologists note if humans weren’t on the planet, some 5,000 species would disappear every year; however, an estimated 30,000 species die yearly. A few corporations daily eviscerate Earth’s consciousness and its future by mining gold, other precious-for-profit minerals as well as relocating indigenous peoples from their natural lands. Manly corporate dominance over nature’s habitats increased exponentially in the 20th century.

Unless we've already read studies and felt sadness for humans’ damage to other species’ habitats and their DNA, and for humans’ contributions to species’ extinctions, then I realize it’s hard to get our mind around what language has accomplished in the assumption of progress.

Dear readers, many of us, U.S. residents in particular, allowed to thrive an illusion that nature was subservient. We distracted ourselves from language that would have kept collective thoughts connected with our bio-spiritual planet, its provisions, and our global sisters and brothers.

Unless we’ve already read studies and felt sadness about subjugations of women and children; or, starving families who sell their children for about $150.00 each, after which the precious children are imprisoned in global human trafficking; or, 14 million children under five years perishing from malnutrition or starvation, yearly, then I realize it’s hard to get our mind around what language creates in humankind.

One recent report identifies human trafficking may likely become the most profitable business on Earth.

The habitat of humans’ consciousness rules. Another nearly imaginable language is inherent in our physical heart’s intuitive capacities, and those capacities are too easily pre-empted by words — until they’re not.

The real technology, behind all our other technologies, is language. It actually creates the world our consciousness lives in.
~ Andrei Codrescu (b 1946), Romanian-American poet, novelist, essayist, screenwriter, National Public Radio commentator

A Divided Deity
part two

Quantum physics (Qp) is all about consciousness; our consciousness, other animals’, the plants’, the fishes’, the reptiles’, the insects’. Anything that vibrates cosmic energy is included. Everything is possible in worlds of all intentions, all possibilities, all tendencies — places where a divided deity may be placed. Qp reveals possibilities that our physical universe participates in its caring role inside what we may call (human) intuition.

However, in the 17th century, a popular cosmology defined Universe incapable of participating in human (intuitive) experience. That premise fortified the psychic mayhem in the matrix that already included a traditional, distorted deity devised millennia earlier.

Today, approximately one-half of the human population, maybe 3+ billion people, reserve some form of personal commitment to a traditional Abrahamic philosophy embedded within the matrix.

Humans operate in collective pack-mode. We project authority outside of ourselves onto popes, kings, gods, messiahs and saviors, priests, preachers, ayatollahs, presidents, generals, managers, men in uniforms, men in suits, men and women in expensive cars, people in expensive homes, consultants, academic types, scientists, visionaries — you name it.

Apparently, Earthlings are unable to withdraw projections, unable to realize all authority and power reside in ourselves. The default of slave mode has been the most common.
~ an anonymous blogger, mostly

Rocket science isn’t required when considering Earthlings’ philosophies and slave mode projections are altering while some may be fading. Via Internet, no longer can Earthlings in one geographical location overlook the transformation that’s evolving in another; civilizations’ unfolding changes and developments that spanned centuries and decades are now taking only years.

That brings us to ask precisely how did Earthlings stumble and squeeze and wheeze our bereft selves into where we are today after thousands of years of our species’ domestication? Simple.

By small to extra large churches with trauma based scriptures and sermons to match a divided deity with a split psyché, millennium after millennium; by tolerating language layered in forms of shaming stories, symbols, icons, art and music stamped godly in millennium after millennium; by forced acceptance of sanctimonious deceits after emotional and physical threats were perpetrated upon women and children, millennium after millennium;

by mindless, subliminal spellbinding pretense in advertising and marketing; by overt anxiety-based verbiage in mass media news reports, harrowing reality shows, professional beat’em up sports events, and half-baked documentaries; by frothing commercial trivialities and mundane movies; by costly, weak-as-water educational systems; by extreme focus on business and profit, disregarding consequent psychical violence;

by an old bullying ilk of moneychangers presumably gone berserk; by not entirely elected female and male curmudgeons behaving like a babbling bumbling bombastic band of baboons, who inherited barbarous legacies marketed in a divided deity that is now shamelessly exploited in the political light of day, right on schedule — in the faces of millions of gawking Earthlings.

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
~ Mahandas K. Gandhi (b 1869), Hindu Prophet, Indian philosopher, primary political activist for total nonviolent withdrawal of British colonialism in the 20th Century
