ZEN and the art of maintenance in a finite mind

Mistakes can usually be fixed.

Sin, however, is a violation of infinite rule, and can therefore only be forgiven by the Infinite Power of Divine Being.


In our finite world humankind relies on a rule of law to keep order, based on finite laws, imposed by mankind in various forms and at various venues in time and space, throughout the finite world.

It is not a love of money that is at the root of evil;
a love of money distorts perception, perspective, and rational thought, causing an inability to distinguish good from evil, despite a tiny finite knowledge of the subject.

In the realm of the finite there is no basis for knowing the difference between good and evil.

A finite being cannot digest the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Any attempt at ingesting and digesting, into meaningful nutrition, that fruit causes never-ending convulsions in the finite system

DIFFERENCES ARE REALITY BASED –
DISTINCTIONS ARE THOUGHT BASED
The difference between the rule of law and the spirit of aloha is that the first comes from senses of necessity and lack,
While the second comes from senses of abundance & generosity…

This Sunday is the end of the first twelfth of Twenty Ten

I am working on a hypothesis that the root of all evil is a specious concept, planted by Lucifer in the Garden of Eden to grow what we call ‘the grapes of wrath’ east of Eden.

Sin is a morality based concept that was not a part of paradise. Mistakes happen. Mistakes can be fixed. Unless they are perceived as sin. Such as ‘nakedness,’ nudity, lasciviousness, ‘I know what you were/are thinking’type DNA junk.
So with a taste of the knowledge of good and evil naturally came ‘judging’ and the necessity for the golden rule.
And mankind's morality based inability to practice the golden rule.

I call this "THE DIVINE CONUNDRUM"

My Brain Is A Stomach For My Mind ; Trash In – Pukes Me

God only (and me) knows when that happens. . .

'ALL ABOUT' Can be an active verb, or a conceptual adjective - depending on who You are, today!

Any woman who is not a kissing cousin is (a) fair game
Except, perhaps, your sister . . .

Sexuality rhymes with duality
SO WHAT?
The Shadow Knows . . .


As in ‘shadow of your former self’?

Words without borders
Q’s without A’s

Aphorism for the day:
A woman without a man
Is something like
Perfection without a miracle

WHEREAS, AND AFORETHOUGHT
A male lawyer without a case
Is pretty commonplace, according to women who judge

But then
The Supreme Court
Has instructed us to
Judge NOT
W T F, does that mean?

(is that a verb
or a dangling participle?)

We are now on Clicky - whatever that means

OH YEAH

COGITO; Ergo sum.

I think of myself as profoundly whimsical
And/or whimsically profound
Obviously, this isn’t for reasons of public image
I think it must be inspiration and/or revelation . .


Legal terminologically speaking
The year 2009 was a watershed year in my life
And I think 2010 begins a Landmark decade

Every beginning
Except the first
Is also an ending?



I like to think;
Therefore I am . .

A Q 4 U

Q. ARE HUMAN BEINGS (‘homosaps’) FUNGIBLE?
Why or Why not?

A NO
Each has a different soul.

Creation - Theory or Fact?

Fear and loathing
Have a spiritual
Content, by definition

Leering and lusting have
A lack of spiritual
Content
By definition

Sensuality and Pleasure
Have spiritual content
In the form of intuitive
And visceral responses

Creation is a spiritual process
And a created world is spiritual

RANDOM CHANCE
IS UNSCIENTIFIC
FANTASY THEORY

MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM

Women are the Best, and they just keep getting better and better


Men are quick to rise to the occasion

But women meet a situation with intuition and soul



“And God Saw That It Was Not Good For Man To Be Alone . . .”

When there is no lack, waste, as a concept, is not viable.

This distinguishes the Divine
From the finite

Some subjects have been long considered and are short sighted anyway . .

Pornography as an industry on the Internet is probably not as mercenary as international arms sales.




As an industry, Internet pornography is probably less harmful to humanity than international arms sales.



As a social force Internet pornography on a worldwide scale does less harm than international arms sales.



The positive social results from Internet pornography are probably greater than those from international arms sales.



Is it possible that armchair, seat of the pants, morality by finite beings - pretending to be “like the gods,” and like ‘having the knowledge of good and evil’ is potentially the mortal sin that will produce eternal damnation?



Some believe that Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which would have otherwise been lost?



It seems to be becoming more and more noticeable since Twenty Ten that ‘we have met the lunatic fringe’, and (as Pogo would say) ‘they are us.’



(THE ROAD TO CRAWFORD TEXAS IS PAVED WITH ‘good intentions.’)


“Judge not, lest any man should boast.
 It is the province of
God All Mighty.

TEN SECOND POEMS COMPOSED UPON WAKING FROM A SOUND SLEEP SUDDENLY AND PEACEFULLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

ARE PEOPLE FUNGIBLE?


When choosing

Choose the best
Yes

No

It depends

Possibly

Sometimes

Never

Always

Only when the word is singular

Age is a relevant consideration

Define fungible



Not when God Is Omnipotent



I only go online

To look up Ram Dass



For every man

There is a woman

(Supply the last line)



For every woman

A man will come

Twenty Ten

And then some . . .

LAST MONTH THIS WAS TEN DAYS 'TIL CHRISTMAS - Now It's Twenty Ten -

Eating a pomegranate is a completely different experience from eating banana cream pie


My level of awareness allows me to recognize each as a beautifully satisfying experience

My mind runs on words – to a large extent - Haiti HAITI

In that artery/vein


To my mind

Haiti, including Papa Doc Duvalier

Symbolizes an antichrist concept



Even an anti theist should concede

That miracles (if they exist) are perfect

The apocryphal account of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ

Would, then, have to be perfect (in theory)

So, it is undeniable that miracles, and perfection, include suffering



A key (to a finite mind) question would perhaps involve

Whether when Jesus suffered was it only finite suffering



Even a finite mind struggles with a concept of hell

Because of the seeming cruelty involved



To my mind Hell is simply the absence of heaven

On earth, and in the hereafter, . . .

AMEN

Simple and Profound and Universal

Enlightenment brings the ability and the disire to humbly bow your head
And pray with honesty and sincerity the only perfect prayer- always appropriate


Thank You

IT'S TWENTY TEN and I am thinking - WHAT CAN I AFFORD?

We cannot afford to be dismissive of anything in this life


If it comes to us there is a reason

When it goes from us there is a reason



However, in a perfect world

Affording or not affording

Are illusory concepts for there is no lack in perfect . . .

THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

Acceptance is the way mutual sharing begins


Acceptance, like love, can only be given

It cannot be required



The truth is that acceptance is a passive form of love

Passive love precedes active love

In the life of finite beings

SOCIETY IS STILL ON THE WRONG FOOT, AFTER ALL

organ of conception

Society Is Still On The Wrong Foot After All
Lo These Many Centuries Since The Innocent
Disobedience In The Allegorical Garden (Eden)

A Simple “We are sorry, please forgive us”
Could have been a workable short cut, but a sudden
Unexplainable Sense of Guilt Involving Nakedness
Got us off on the wrong foot – and we are still limping
In spite of an awful lot of history – both finite and Divine

The year Twenty Ten could be the beginning of a new beginning

We’ll See
