Zen Intuition

by

Buckminster Fuller in his book Intuition wrote,
Clearly, it is seen
That man’s metaphysical mind
Demonstrates the most effective
Syntropic capability evidenced in Universe
Excepting that of the universal mind’s
Cosmic syntropy
As manifest in the eternal design complex,
Comprehensively and synergetically interacomodative
As eternally regenerative Universe,
Which cosmic syntropy combines
All the metaphysical integrities
As well as all the physical patterns.

All though his brilliance shines through, his suitcase-sized sentences are essential attempts to deliver all the thoughts and elements simultaneity. Summed up, in Zen, I think he was saying, We are all one.
Zen can be equally impressive in brevity.
Life is action.
Belief creates fact.
Alone is also all one.
Sit, breath, meditate, Zen.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
Knowledge, repeated, equals survival.

Baggage.

by

Even though your obsessive devotion to your own neurotic needs is what makes you so loveable, that, and your terminal righteousness, I still like you.

The Buddha said that the path of all suffering is desire. Be free of suffering by being free of desire. Be smart in your desires. Do not desire harmful recipes. Which one is best for you? Suffering is more like dissatisfaction. Let go of the pain and allow yourself to become what you can be. Connect to your core. Relax your breath, hands, heal yourself, meditate, and slowly open your eyes and move toward living in the now. Satoru

Bushido strategy is execution.

by

Two blind men walk slowly down the street next to each other. Both hold out begging cups in their hands and have small signs around their necks. One of the blind men’s cups is continually filled and the other man’s cup was almost empty. Upon closer inspection, an observer will notice a slight but significant difference in the signs. One sign reads, “I am blind.” The other sign reads, “It is May and I am blind.“

Unless you translate thoughts into concrete steps for action, they’re pointless.

Vote

by

“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke

Don’t complain about the state of things if you are not willing to do something to change what you do not like. If a corrupt, subversive or nefarious force, family or group gains control, it is because honest and competent people are too busy to notice or care, thus allowing these destructive parties to get away with reprehensible actions. An example is the 2016 election. There is not a positive choice between an orangutan and a carpet bagger, especially when you consider this is all America can produce for statesmanship and leadership.

Improve the situation

by

The Republican Party announced today that it is changing its emblem from an elephant to a condom because it more clearly reflects the Republicans party’s position on the major issues facing America. A condom accepts inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you’re actually getting screwed.

Doing anything to improve the situation no matter how small, is better than doing nothing at all. Write a letter, make a phone call, talk to a neighbor, talk to several people, vote and elect new representatives, go to a meeting, get involved, and make a difference.

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Gandhi
