Deformity (Geb 2)
Deformity – that which is away, de-, from form. The “form” is construct of manifestation, the shape or quality of a thing or being as it relates to function- what it does. For a human, as your presented self is often compared to the beauty of those before you, or at least, if you're beautiful…
Peace
“Peace Now” “Give Peace a Chance!”, “Peace on Earth” without specifics, these declarations make me wince. They are so non-specific as “peace” can look like anything. Please consider[1]this. What bugs you anyway? That you might pick another’s cause distracts you (not that that’s bad, just different choice of focus). Peace, as I have experienced it in my…
“Because I can”
“Because I can[1]…” There are many things I can’t fathom, nor would want to. The cruelty that people inflict on each other… for some momentary victory, that might leave a bunch of fallout, seems astounding. It’s like watching pigs rutting out in their pen, after eating their young. Why would someone purposely harm a child…
Fate versus Free Will
We all know that man has “free will”. Uniquely, he has ability to choose, plan, and decide. While apes have made significant “progress”, as have crows, rats and every creature in between– and will continue to do so, our human capacity for executive thinking, is the distinct purview of man.

Whether one or the other wins, at this point, there will be difficult futures for many, many, many people including the previously disenfranchised. Compared to what the Gulf Wars did to ordinary folks with businesses and practices- all lost when they were abusively deployed boots-on the ground. which took them years to recover, but many…
Atonement, for Yom Kippur
Atonement At-one-ment Being at one in the moment – All spelled. Ultimately in coherence with the sum of your actions. I give to G-d that I may not be forgotten by Him. The 7-directional meditation I do when times are tough, can be done in any position, Maybe strongest in full Tadasana Hands placed firmly…
Pompous
Pompous[1] Never, in my wildest dreams of being a doctor- client -patient, would I ever, ever, ever utter such words, even if mixed in phrases as, “beautiful” “kiss” “love” (Ok, I channeled, “warrior for love” once…) “Intense and passionate” “You can do whatever you want…” (with dreamy goo-goo eyes) Even if I was in deep trance…
