Star Stuff

 

“And we, we who embody the local eyes and ears and thoughts and feelings of the cosmos, we have begun at least to wonder about our origins — star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion billion billion atoms, contemplating the evolution of nature, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on the planet earth, and perhaps throughout the cosmos.”

– Carl Sagan – Cosmos

Le Bataille

 

“Man has no individual I. But there are, instead, hundreds and thousands of separate small “I”s, very often entirely unknown to one another, never coming into contact, or, on the contrary, hostile to each other, mutually exclusive and incompatible. 

Each minute, each moment, man is saying or thinking, “I”. And each time his I is different. Just now it was a thought, now it is a desire, now a sensation, now another thought, and so on, endlessly. Man is a plurality. Man’s name is legion….

… Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave.”

– G.I. Gurdjieff, In Search Of The Miraculous (1949)

why?

why? , why not? why the war? why terrorists? why television? why do we need to go there? why did we lose the humane link to other women , men , children? why is it more pleasant to believe the news? why is it easier? why do we think we have more right to live than other people? and why do we believe we have the right to kill?

why can be explained in so many ways , but probably the best is with the last post “mirror”, is the greatest way to look inside , is the best way to deal with the outside, in this reality we have been conditioned to believe anything we see coming out of the TV screen ,there’s no  questioning anymore; In school kids learn to obey, there’s no more knowledge taught ,there’s little passion for learning, and whoever has it, is dealt with by tagging him/her as a bad student, the purpose is to create great employees , obey the rules and you’ll be safe, the very idea of subordination is so stigmatized and associated with questioning orders , and ideas , concepts, you are to be successful to the extent of your acceptance of the orders, you are to be “valued” to the extent of your defense of the system, you are to be judged every time you can’t hold on anymore all the suppression of your expression, you are to be tagged as different and undesirable for thinking differently , you are to work in a schedule , you can’t  revolt, your only way to survival is the system, you may not think and you may use the words of the anchorman as yours and you are to let that TV box implant strings of words in your brain and you are to speak those and only those.

why can be indeed a very good first step towards working.

there’s a lot in the world today about change , and hopes are put once again in the withe house, the world around me is still the same , people at the store still act like savage predators, and a closer inspection from a cashier point of view will tell you that their ego has overthrown their soul and reason, change can’t come until we realize that there’s no savior , no one is there to catch us , we sill put our faith in an external being; Now the aroma in the air seems to be another lie, a new president they think is all they want, change is believed to come from the outside, it doesn’t matter who’s in the withe house or in israel, how they hide their words behind what ideology, is our terrible ignorance ,laziness , and choices what are impeding change, as long as we stay ignorant , as long as we choose our pleasure over the rest of the universe, we are to be manipulable , crimes will keep on happening in front of our eyes and we won’t understand ,we will still believe what we’re told and the cycle will carry on.
