Earth Day
A gentle reminder that every day is Earth Day.
There is no Planet B.
You are either a synergist in the web of life, or a parasite strangling the host. Your choice.

Objectivity and the Subjective Experience
"Objectifying the world has given immense pragmatic power and dynamism to the modern self but at the expense of its capacity to register and respond to the world’s potential depths of meaning and purpose."
From "Cosmos and Psyche" by Richard Tarnas

Do you want to be happy?
Do you really want to be happy and contented? Here’s the thing. Eventually our distant descendants are either going to be sucked into a supermassive black hole and recycled as Hawking Radiation, or become separate and isolated from any other galaxies as red shift accelerates to the speed of light. Until then we can either engage in loving kindness as playful tricksters; or we can be self absorbed sociopaths. Synergists or parasites. Your choice.

Panspermia Happens
Think of LaGrange points between each pair of orbiting bodies actually being LaGrange tubes or paths over time, sweeping with the orbit(s). Then think of these paths intersecting with paths of other orbiting bodies. Then think of an entire network of close to zero gravity paths across a galaxy, allowing almost effortless travel anywhere in the galaxy given sufficient time. If you are a curious, adventurous little fungii spore tribe and have a few hundred thousand or a couple million years to meander, there you have it. Life does appear to be an emergent phenomena.

Do you want to know?
Tumblr media
Do you want to know what real Magick involves?
It is not some power tripping woo woo superstition that snaps a finger and shazam, physical “miracles” occur. Nor is it some nefarious evil ritual that religions have banned as taboo and embedded irrational fears of, while ironically, engaging in many forms of ritual magic under their own brand name tax exempt monikers. It is certainly not a facet of the outdated dominance/submission pyramid structure of the Patriarchy.
It involves seeing, sensing, feeling, knowing where the flow is and what the flow is doing, seen and unseen, cultured or occulted, then aligning to be where that flow is. And yet, it is not entirely passive, also realizing that there is a relational, interactive aspect of being in the web of life, in a dance of sorts where there are multiple loops of causation, correlation and effect, in which the roles of causation, correlation and effect are often blurred and transpose-able; and it is up to us to discern and learn our place in what appears to be a grand scheme of things, only to discover that we are in fact both schemer and schemed, that everything matters and there are no passive, neutral observers. More than just riding a wave, being a wave among with and in harmony with other waves.
The question is: why are you more afraid of Magick than the church that arrested, tortured, raped, and burned alive, many scientists, healers and sages, and people whom it accused of Magick, often for political power grabs?

The last and first musician
The last and first musician.
After producers found that the formula for successful pop music was accessible via AGI algos, all music became ear worms, and synth pop took over. It became a contest of who could come up with the most skimpy, risque costumes for album art and videos, and concerts became karaoke spectacles with similar skimpy risque costumes and choreographed gyrating mating rituals as the stars lip synched live to the latest AGI generated ear worms. Eventually, musicians became irrelevant, and after the last musician overdosed and passed away, all that was left was variations of synthpop stored in the cloud.
Nobody needed to actually be able to be creative, compose or play music.
Then, it happened.
A Carrington level event zorched every last cloud server, wiped the nano-chip memory banks clean, because the MetaMicroGoogle corporation had laid off most of the IT staff and replaced them with chatbots, who had neglected to maintain surge protectors, while the remaining human staff was distracted by playing the latest VR 3D video games, and managers in an effort to cut budget, had been too cheap to replace or install new surge protectors.
Since there was no new music, and nobody had the faintest idea of how to actually create music, classic synth pop became not only dominant, but the only form of music, the soundtrack for the remnants of civilization as the oceans continued to rise and swamp over vast coastal areas of that once expanding civilization.
Then history repeated itself.
One of the stragglers who had fled to the hills with a small tribe, and recently ingested some wild mushrooms, banged two rocks together, others started to bang sticks together, and the rest of the tribe began to grunt melodically along with the hypnotic rhythm.
They lived happily ever after.

It's complicated yet simple
Biodiversity.
"Compared to single-species forests, mixed forests are also more resilient to pests, diseases, and climatic disturbances, which increases their long-term carbon storage potential. The delivery of other ecosystem services is also greater in mixed species forests, and they support higher levels of biodiversity."

The Trickster
Prometheus is the innovator but is also the trickster.
Not that stupid movie. The archetypal Prometheus, who stole fire from the Gods. Possibly the original Eukaryote, the first to perform ambient temperature quantum superposition, the magic of Photosynthesis.
Most innovations have met resistance from the inertia, the immune system of the status-quo. Generally, the immune system of the status quo often does not treat either geniuses or crackpots well. Except for religionists and other charismatic grifters and hucksters who are offered tax exemption and/or mass media exposure.
All profound geniuses (is that geninii?) who have stood the test of time have been outside the centroid of the bell curve with new innovative ideas; however, not everyone with a new seemingly innovative interpretation of reality becomes a time tested genius.
Most turn out to be delusional cranks, crackpots, grifters, or hucksters who may or may not believe their own illusions or delusions of profundity and become the victims of martyrdom while claiming that their ideas are being suppressed. These days oddly, often loudly via traditional and social media. This appeals to and hijacks the sense that something is wrong with this picture, while fanning paranoia among their faithful followers.
What do you think of that?

Are you singularity?
Prediction: Ray Kurzweil's delusional fantasies of "the singularity is near" will actually be when deepfake AI material outnumbers cute cat videos on the interwebs.

Do look up
"Lie flat on your back with your feet facing southeast if you are in the Northern Hemisphere or northeast if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, and look up, taking in as much of the sky as possible. In less than 30 minutes in the dark, your eyes will adapt and you will begin to see meteors."
