where is the truth in the midst of the wanting?
where is the wanting in the midst of the stillness?
where is the stillness in the midst of the chaos?
from where does the chaos,
…
fall?

Over at gf’s lanterna magica is an interesting exploration of a conversation based on an idea that came to me… “the flesh factory”

in this world of perpetual compromise, where we seem quite compelled to eat meat even if less than 2% of us have ever had experiences killing the animals we eat, perhaps a solution that entails less animal suffering and equal carnal (or at least close to equal) could be at least interesting if not advantageous.

Of course it is quite possible that our collective consciousness will transcend our spiritually infantile, obviously animalistic, desires to indulge in consuming meat. It is possible that this will occur before the technology to support the flesh factory is operational. It is possible that we will slow down our reproduction and increase of food production and decrease our polution rates enough to sustain life on this planet for another 100 years.

As always…
Other things are also possible…

PS - over at the Living Universe Foundation email list is a parallel topic:

i really love it when things work out _just_ right in the universal timing spheres… Of course in one sense i don’t believe in time at all (in part due my preference for abandoning belief in general)… and in another time is a magical paradox of unlimited potential.

I like to share with you yet another cute little synchronicity:
I sit in a meeting with Daniel and Andreas and Nina about the trail blazing ground breaking mind bending movie project (redundantly described here and redundantly temporarily entitled:), “Leading AND cutting edge.” After some _very_ enjoyable and inspired discussion, I am ready to leave as the crew is ready to delve into more logistical discussion that they are partially informationally undernourished to adequately discuss, a discussion which i didn’t have much place in anyway. So as i depart on the way to visit the lovely Anna M. i am for some unknown reason not motivated to jump on my bike and ride immediately. Rather, i choose to walk along the sidewalk with my bike, and i notice a rather tall man with shaved head and razor sharp blue eyes… and i exclaim “hey!” Thomas L. turns around and recognizes me from within a post-computer haze… This is a man whom i have never crossed paths with in copenhagen in the many months i have lived here. A man whom i met “randomly” in January in India at the ashram known as Anandaloka I, part of the Oneness University in Varadaiahpalem.
I had recently been interally advised that contacting him will be a good idea as he has a passionate interest in technology development and concept representation including graphic design and advertising/marketing. Our brief discussion on the street there led me to think that there is quite a strong capacity for us to bring some very facinating products to market in idealistically, ethically, and environmentally sound (and lucrative) ways.

So there are two rather distinct varieties of “good news” embedded in this story… i don’t like to take the excessively preacherly stance to tell you what it means, rather i like to share with you the meaning i have enjoyed creating and encourage you to reflect about the nature of coincidence and miracle and timing and syncronicity on your own time in your own way…

I feel that it was a beautiful thing to meet Thomas, both in india and again on theTime in Copenhagen. It feels like good news that i have decided to return to copenhagen on the day that i choose and it feels like good news that thomas is quite interested to explore some possible collaborations.

In another sphere, i feel it is an amazing miracle (most thankfully, a rather common one for me recently) that for some reason (even though i was excited and motivated to get to see Anna) i choose to walk slowly with my bike dragging by my side, rather than jump onto it and ride along… in which case i most certainly would have passed that intersection before Thomas wandered accross my path. For this i say !thanks be! to the cosmic coordinator who might as well remain nameless…

expecting enough
==============
I cry into the sea
expecting her to change
I laugh into the wind
expecting him to care
I smile at the trees
expecting them to join
I expect my own expectation
demanding that he return
I want my own wanting
begging it to stay
I long for more desire
never to be fulfilled
I create my own emptiness
letting us be enough
====================

Calleman has much to say about the breakthrough ending the age of dominance!

I think it is clear that the world could use more heart, could use more femininity, could use more soul… and i think its on the way and in some ways its all already here!

an excerpt from my international travel insurance that i am currently reviewing…
bizzare…

1. A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than from fears based on
past experiences.

2. An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.

3. A loss of interest in judging oneself.

4. A loss of interest in judging other people.

5. A loss of interest in conflict.

6. A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.

7. The loss of ability to worry (this is a very serious symptom).

8. Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

9. Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.

10. Frequent attacks of smiling through the eyes of the heart.

11. Increasing susceptibility to love extended by others as well as the
uncontrollable urge to extend it.

12. Increasing tendency to let things happen rather than to make them
happen.

A TIME TO LOVE

We have time for racism
We have time for criticism
Held bondage by our ism’s
When will there be a time to love

We make time to debate religion
Passing bills and building prisons
For building fortunes and passing judgements
When will there be a time to love

At this point in history we have a choice to make
To either walk a path of love
Or be crippled by our hate

We have time to cause pollution
We have time to cause confusion
All wrapped up in our own illusions
When will there be a time to love

We make time to conquer nations
Time for oil exploration
Hatred, violence and terrorism
When will there be a time to love

At this moment in time
We have a choice to make
Father God is watching
While we cause Mother Earth so much pain
It’s such a shame

Not enough money for
The young, the old and the poor
But for war there is always more
When will there be a time to love

We make time for paying taxes
Or paying bills and buying status
But we will pay the consequences
If we don’t make the time to love

Now’s the time to pay attention
Yes now is the time~~~ to love~~~~~~~
A time to love~~~~~ Love~~~~
A time to Love
Please, please won’t you tell me
When will there be a time to love~~~~
