two arrows and a flat line in a sea of nausea

this world spins and

our worlds spin too, and yesterday

it was pointed out

that there are

trap doors at the bottom and

trap doors at the top and

we know

we can say it's all the same stare way path but

with dependent origination so much depends on momentum

and those doors can be opened for us but not by us

when we reach them on our way so,

every escape only goes so far

and here I'll add that much has to do with merits, too

and these are acquired by devotions to those

at higher levels, loved or not

but this works in the opposite directions too, for those

where life is about little more than desires and pleasures

and deceits, feeling good and constants and pleasure seekings

where so many are devoted to the material and carnal forms and ways

and poor relationships and connections with self and others and

people moving by this way are more plentiful with devotions, songs

and chantings, dysphoric illnesses and

one blurry eyed faiths, without moderation or balance

not to mention mirrors, those are a threat so they personify and project and more safely fall back on hate calling it love

and ever so devoted, we can see the merits acquired from entities and beings

in lesser lights and shadows, where their worlds dwell, spinning

so joyfully performing, so very colorful, they double up over landfills

they accumulate, we see

until in some other lifetime

we renunciate

and leave

a brief rambling note on tarot

I've long said that tarot is essentially for stimulation of interior archetypes

and that anything useful to be gotten out of them has to branch or stem from that and

I was glancing at r/jung earlier and there was a post on tarot

where someone shared this Open Culture link from last year

i ching is mentioned too, though to me that's more of a direct communication with the cosmos,

same difference in a way, one can read a red book and work with mirrors and ponder awhile

and recently I was reminded and appreciating what's said of the 11 card as justice

Key 11 is the agency through which all of the forces represented by Keys 1 to 10 are transferred to the manifesting powers represented by Keys 12 to 21. This cryptic statement deserves a great deal of thought upon your part. You will be well rewarded for your effort.

and the above quote is from BOTA, more below

and for daily spreads I use https://watabou.itch.io/procgen-tarot

and I like that they aren't good for by the book readings, you have to actually meditate on them and have them soak in and through

great for creative juices too

my first deck was a minchiate and I still use it some for full readings

and deviant moon is another favorite too, the art work included

all so multi-layered which draws the eyes and brain in

elbows, elbows

as it turns out

Elatus and Chiron, they had a spar

and tonight it carries on, still

over an oblivious pink;

we are quite fortunate

in fated events

or perhaps not

always

we will get there

with guidance

of hands and doors

without too much congestion

A Painting to Maitreya

a poem for Maitreya

there are hierarchies in life and cosmos

like them or not

believe it or not

a spleen doesn't have the same function

as a tongue

or a brain

or a nail

though slime mold are quite impressive

and it's nice to believe that raindrops are all the same

but some are cleaner than others, and drinkable

at least clean enough to bathe in and

fire is quite good for cleansing and purifications

and this is just the start of why I quickly find and treat

people who speak or type of any One-ness

of everything and everyone

including one life to live

as a spouting of malignant gibberish

and the law is right about because

and I realize we are bodies of water too

and

and

it's not so confusing really

thank you to you

today I was reminded that rocks are silent because

(har har) trees listen and they do pay

attention to what and who you do bring around and

not all bunnies are the same, plus some are jackelopes

and it's the 24th century, you can pull

whatever numbers out of your

elbows that you like, dude

traditional living

is a union of divinity and matter

with mind and spirit being weathered upon

day or night, in between

and none of this is self; true self

is merely a visitor in vehicles,

business or tourists on paths

or a trail of lovers

where merits accumulate

and do they ever

and waiting is action

and often it's precisely what is needed

and there you are

but so are we

in ever present light

as nobody travels alone

without discriminations

Whatever Happens In The World Today We Know

people love the lies and cons they live for

this we know, they swim

and wouldn't know air

let alone space

they have their realms of experience

and we are so far outside this

today, we know

we needed to be reminded

and thank you for the less visible

tap on the shoulder

as karma is so surgically

precise

and pathically

but back to

the cosmos sweet sentiences

so it's easy for swimmers to say

that we are all one

but with any universe there are

hierarchies and boundaries

harsh boundaries

and waters are being cut off

self poisoned as they are

An Inhospitable World

there are worlds of difference

between grandstanding and being

and those in the former world don't know

that they are not in the latter one

where being is a better place to be

and far more hospitable; we find

an abundance of emptiness

in another world of showiness

polarities and inversions

and here I sit sipping kuan yin tea -

a cup full of compassion

intoxicants and caffeine

in my log home and at a computer

all built and innovated by dead white men

with pride, or at least acknowledgement

and we speak the languages

and do our best to avoid poisoners of souls

though their germ carriers and

nature spawns so many of them

maybe grandstanding is its own form of being

different worlds, being what they are

but then I remember

actual being is still far more hospitable;

not two wheels being spun on the same cycle,

but on its own

None Cents Gets Through Better Than Others

on bhakti devotion and yoga

they could be a thing

but so many they dance and

sing and chant their self devotions

all the way through instead

with full appropriations -

for sake of self

organs

dressed up and

it has been said

and it has been said

that all literature is a lie

but much is given away

all the same

truthfully

there is no balance or rhythm here

but you can twerk and fake it

all the same

and economists are vampires

and it's open season

open season

and you

can exploit just as well

maybe you'll get some gravy too

but still we'll see right through

Volcanic Mirrors of Anatolia, Tonight

watching people destroy themselves

is somewhat educational and enlightening

but only mildly so

as mostly it's just entertaining

redundant and maybe a bit of schadenfreude

given that they're destroyers and ruiners themselves

despoilers

and we remember this, in some ways

much like the neighborhood crows

returning to do much the same

self-destroyers can talk and yammer about how healthy they are

and happy or aren't, but it doesn't matter

attention seekings

and we don't care

they have health to sell

to themselves, primarily

healers

and grief, it's a failure of unrealistic expectations

and we watch them destroy themselves, clingingly

because what else can they do

karma being what it is

and all, it's funny

and joyous, watching them try to escape

the copiums involved, they're hooked

but they don't know to what

although they've figured it out

the contortions, they are amusing

it is funny

and still we don't care

there are hell regions after all

where perdurabo shouts

cos he ain't there

where old and new arrivals sing and chant

their delusions, a howling of dogs

domesticated slaves and a kin's best friend

they're not all bad but it isn't flattering either

From Every River To Every Sea, We Will All Be Free

and I repeat

from every river to every sea

will all be free

as the crow flew back

to repeat to me

as he sees

he sees

and he does not sing

as there's not much more to say

and plenty to do, getting started

crows have great memories

for defensive purposes

they recognize quite readily

the realities of the world

pox and curses

patterns

and here I bring you another quote

from a book, the end of chapter one I'm reading

Social control by means of AI only works well if human behavior is easily predictable or calculable. In such a system, individuality and creativity, which have been essential characteristics of mankind up to now, are like sand in the gears. [ ... ] An authentic, self-determined, and deep personality follows nonlogical rather than linear principles; emotions and gut feelings often play a significant role. [ ... ] Thus, the individuality and creativity of the human mind would remain a constant threat to the stability of an AI-controlled society. ~ The Indoctrinated Brain: How To by Michael Nehls MD PhD, Erasing the Cultural Operating System on the Individual Hard Drive

carrying on from yesterday's vanity, a quick afternoon painting using corel painter, additional photographs layered in, and it probably doesn't qualify as prophetic or innovative any more than the sky being blue or maybe grey across a pond tomorrow. nature does what it does, including peoples' natures too. these days, a great many of us are all Palestinians, and the lines are now drawn. like the rivers and the seas. and the bunkers too.

How Much Effort Should We Put into Pleasure

today I asked

how much effort should we put Into pleasure

Namu Amida Butsu

it seems the pole has been up all along

but has it been, it's

while the vehicles drive through

we don't stop to ask who's driving

what is illusory

Vanity Is the Devil’s Favorite Number

vanity is the devil's favorite number

he just dials it up and

taps right in, for whatever else

he wants, through you

you hold and spin and

enjoy the ride

An Egg In the Cosmos

here is an egg given space wherein

there is man (spirit) plus woman (matter)

and without this balance of requisites you get neither in the equation

no spirit

nothing that matters

and all rings are meaningful

as every one seeks and manages union

but with what, that can vary

and we see, we see

and hear, as well

did you know, of course

you can be drawn in

and in many ways we find one is bred

into being artificial humans

laterally or literally

as Flaubert wrote, quoted by Steegmuller via an introduction in Rimbaud's works: I am turning into a kind of aesthetic mysticism. When there is no encouragement to be derived from one's fellows, when the exterior world is disgusting, enervating, corruptive, and brutalizing, honest and sensitive people are forced to seek somewhere within themselves a more suitable pace to live. If society continues on its present path I believe we shall see the return of such mystics as have existed in all the dark ages of the world. The soul, unable to overflow, will be concentrated on itself. We shall see a return of world-sicknesses - beliefs in the Last Day, expectation of a Messiah, etc. But all this enthusiasm will be ignorant of its own nature, and, the age being what it is, what will be its basis? Some will seek it in the flesh, others in ancient religions, others in art; humanity, like the Jewish tribes in the desert, will adore all kinds of idols. ~ Flaubert and Madame Bovary

admittedly a low effort painting for the sake of painting tonight, using corel painter with additional wedding photograph layered in, plus original poetry with additional words layered in. and on and on it goes.

A Neurobiological Look at the Presented World

a bit of reading for today

I may paint something later

but for now I recommend the indoctrinated brain

as you don't have to be one of those people

partaking, genocide isn't limited to just Gaza and the West Bank

and the whole world is Palestine, as a model

where autobiographic memories have long been discouraged if not erased - and

there are biological mechanisms in all of this

exploited, predated

predated

throughout our lives

implanted

and by whom

the reality is

we live in a world where

so often even the blind can see

clearly

clearly

it's war

this book gives different insights into Artificial Intelligence too. much is made about the "threat to our elections" but truly the media focus on this type of thing is simply to mislead, as it's all a far more genuine threat elsewhere and hits a lot closer to home.

words ©spacetree 2024

editing to add here:

Just as offensive is the internal Times memo’s instruction that reporters should not use the word Palestine “except in very rare cases.” This is another jaw dropper. Several million people call themselves “Palestinians,” and Palestine is represented at the United Nations. The United States claims that it still favors a two-state solution; how can you describe the second state without saying “Palestine?”

It isn't just the New York Times, but fully coast to coast at USC in today's news too

and a vote at UN for full membership on the 18th from what I've read, but we'll see how that goes. it was reported there was no consensus there but "two-thirds of the members were in favor of full membership," globally. the behaviors and actions exhibited by these ppl of bad faith are predictable as *&%$. but ..

from every river to every sea, we will all be free.

One with Uneccesary Karmic Attachments

I had just started synchronously reading through Maharshi's Who Am I? (Nan Yar?) last night, with the christ consciousness shining. What once could be plausibly considered roadside attractions here are little more than aversions now, it's all just so many ghouls in a world full of carrion. My cat's hollering much the same, then curls up on whichever bedding to sleep.

I've never been a big believer in death, there is else that draws life through. Life experience is more than burning off karmas and contractual obligations, there are initiations too. The latter are more interior and far from the roads or parties.

An Ode to Hitting Back

Orenthal he knew what he was doing

even if he didn't do it

except he did -

he had a soulmate with everything

and left to sink it in trash

which only attracts more trash

and ghouls

all these ghouls

endlessly, the feedings go on

while Radha sings

her favorite melody

and we love
