Wealth and money are two seperate things. Money is a bond of debt. Wealth is to have plenty of what you need. Any person of any intelligence would rather have needs fulfilled in plenty, than be bonded in debt, unable to fulfill your needs. Its in the mind of those with enough debt paid by others to have their needs fulfilled that money is a good thing. Otherwise the link between money and plenty is an illusion. Propaganda. People who pay that debt forget their needs because they haven't had them fulfilled, they are so far gone that they don't even recognize their lack. -DOM (BeeVomit) in response to:

"I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker. The example of great and pure individuals is the only thing that can lead us to noble thoughts and deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and irresistibly invites abuse. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Ghandi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie?" Albert Einstien

Sunlight streaming down thru the window to my soul, wakes the sleeping child in bed holding his pillow tight to his brow. Not willing to look up and feel the warmth of day encroaching on his dreams. Feels the pull of light to awake and taste the freshness of dawn within.
Moonlight reflecting off the sea blinds for a moment the waking owl, knows the time is ripe for feeling life's throes in its toes. Grasps tight the bundle of fur and teeth, blood, claws and bone, and lights a branch before the pump breaks. Easier to swallow when it helps itself down the chute.
The prism splits light to parts, colors we see to name, names we place to color. Which colors don't have names? We can see them, but not duplicate them.

Love of money, works of machines?
Fear of the god of all things?
Politics work for those who believe.
Poverty runs through everything.
War and strife, peace forgets
Love compounds what is left.

It is better to be in control
of what I must do than not at all.
When I'm troubled, I see inside
the peace within that's mine by right.
It's the way I'm set to go
though its far from what I know.
..........................................

Finally, a prayer:

Please...

Give me peace and joy
Food and precious metals
Stones, shells, hardwoods
And hundreds of willing hands
Give me long life and plenty
Life of health and wellness
Earn my gratitude from your multitude
Land and sea, fruits, grains, nuts and fish
Sky, stars, fire and protection
Weave me a blanket of world comfort.

This is something I wrote in September '07. I think it has great import in the now and near future, and, I think it's really cool!


This is brother Oso, sending word for words. send us back our brothers, and we will send you yours.

Plans, they be in motion, many forms of ocean, and when they come together, we'll be even better.


I also wrote this in reflection this January:

Our bodies are 70% or more ocean. All humans are born of salt water, about the same consistency of the greater oceans. In the womb, we develop in salt water. It is my hope that even with all the fresh water melting into the sea, people will not become as watered-down. We shall sea.

A happy and pleasant new year to all manner and creature to ever have walked the earth!

Good evening.

Everyone eats food. But do they appreciate it? Fuddhism is the active practice of recognizing the Fudd in Food.

Fudd: n. The spiritual, physical essence of food.

We have all heard the phrase, "You are what you eat," but what is it you eat? What we see as a few crumbs of salt, processed dairy, and msg covering a Cheeto(TM), is much more than just a flavoring. It is something to appreciate, examine, and extrapolate into your own personal philosophy. For example, one of the first Fuddhist sayings known to man: "Life is like potato chip. When crisp, is yummy, enjoyable, all is well, everyone happy. But when soggy, no appetite, unappreciated, life is stale." A closer look into this phrase will show the simple difference between a crisp, happy lifestyle, and a stale, soggy one. Water, soaked into your bag of potato chips.
    It was Thales, one of the first of the ancient philosophers, who stated the simple fact, "Everything is water." Essentially, since every form of life requires water, then all forms of life, in some way, are water. In fact, all of the individual elements, air, earth, wind, fire, and water, were defined to be states of water. For instance, air is vaporized water, earth is compressed water, wind is the function between earth and air, and fire is an even more compressed form of water than earth. Fire, in a more thorough explanation, is water so compressed that it fractures, causing extreme friction and a quick burst of energy, thus creating fire. As well, when a log that has been exposed to water is set on a roaring fire, the flames will actually get hotter with the release of that energy, thus creating more energy from the fire, and also creating steam for air.
    When we see this change of state, that is, from crisp to soggy, many will rather complain about the soggy bag of chips, instead of seeing that water as a blessing. More water, more life, in other words. It is the person who can eat a soggy potato chip who will lead a more enriched life, because they see that there is still a potato chip, regardless of how soaked or crisp. For their insight, this person is now a Fuddhist.
    How many have not eaten something and felt the effects of it? Much of what is called food this day is something processed through a system of mechanical arms and whirligigs. When we eat a bag of popcorn from the microwave, do we not feel like we had just been zapped in a chemical process, greasier for the change? How about a stale bag, do we feel any less starched? How about a nice, big, Greek salad, with fresh-picked spinach greens and red leaf lettuce, feta cheese, kalamata-style olives, and fresh, luscious tomatoes from the garden? Do you feel refreshed, or greasy? Quite a bit of the food consumed today is ignored for the complex process it takes to make, how our body feels, and what difference we would find if we simply appreciated the nature of our consumption.
    Another example, a large bowl of your favorite ice cream. It's so delicious you forget all the processes it took to make the cream, sugar, and what else have you. You do not even give thought to who chopped the nuts, or picked the cocoa bean. All you know is the treat that comes out of the freezer. Ideally, you would feel refreshed by the cold, calmed by the soothing sensation as it slides effortlessly to your stomach, but how about the after affects; the onset of the sugar combined with the cold, a crystalizing feeling, as well as that shallow sense of nutrition settling into the pit of your awareness. There is a trick to the ice cream, that is, a sense of stability that only lasts as long as the sugar. Then, like any frozen item taken away from the source, you thaw. You melt into a pool of chemical imbalances, which gives very little umph, and more than a little queez, to your apetite. You must have more, else you continue to feel the crash-boom-warm sensation. Not many people can stop this process by drowning it out, in fact, unless your solution is to drink plenty of water to dilute the imbalances in your system, you find that it is nearly impossible to find solace in more food. This cycle of consumption and re-consumption only leads to more ambiguity towards the nature of food.
    It is so easy to ignore the effects of food on the mind and body, but once aware, there is no ignoring the Fudd. With this constant awareness, we Fuddists can apply these philosophies to life. We eat healthy and are. We eat junk food, and guess what, we feel the junk. Just as there are two sides to sugar, sweet and sour, we can see the other side to food, and its influence. This gives us a sense of control, rather, a sense of being aware of what controls to allow in our lives. It is impossible to live in the flesh without consumption of the flesh, but at least we can become aware of which flesh we consume. Thus, in other forms of consumption, being consumers all in this age, we can open our eyes to the outside influences coming to our mind and body.
    Cell phones, mp3 players, cars, and television are all things that have been argued to be unhealthy for people and animals. I cannot tell how many people I see each day walking with their heads down, formed that way by the advent of texting on phones. Instead of standing upright on a phone call, there are hundreds of people, young and old, being molded back into knuckle-dragging apes. Others walk around constantly with wires in their ears, unaware of the world around them as their whole existence is invaded by electrical sygnals at will. For a large number of people, the remote control is reached for more often than the front door. This form of control, ironically, comes from the TV, not from the piece of plastic in your hand, giving the impression that we actually can control what information we choose to consume. Furthermore, cars, trucks, and SUVs are being produced at higher rates than ever in history, and meanwhile, an economic resource that we have known to be running out is being squeezed for every cent. That cent comes from our wallets, which are nothing more than holders for seemingly important bits of dead, processed, bleached wood pulp from another machine. There is so little we control in our lives, but the presence of control surrounds us. We are made to think that we control our lives, but through the Fuddhist view, we can interpret the sheer level of processing that we, ourselves, are willingly becoming part of.

    Do yourself a favor and look at your life objectively. See the influence of all you are being given. Know that your economy, education, and environment are carefully being manipulated to propogate this unhealthy reality. But to look at life through the Fuddhist view can help cleanse you of these forces. Be healthy once again by not trying to fall into the illusion of control. For control is control is control, and all it can lead to is being controlled. Let go of that controller and go into the sunshine. You are what you eat, so eat healthy and be.

we, as a species, were brought into existence either by a divine force, who pretty much gave us what (He) deemed was necessary for our survival, or evolved by doing what we already do best; invent. we homo sapiens stand at the very head of the evolutionary period, becoming so specialized that we not only knocked out all our native competition, but any predators in our way, and now we're to the point of taking away the reproductive cycles of our food just to get a better product.
guess what, we are that product. we are the very thing we create, and if that is death and destruction, then we embody death and destruction to others. and do we have a choice? when was the last time you thought you made a difference by filing a claim? or posting a bulletin? or going to an electric vehicle forum with hundreds and thousands of gross, mismanaged, polluters running rampant all around? how about voting? do we make a difference, really? not in this culture, society, government. we are represented by those who do the most wrong, unjust things to each and every one of us. and they profit, and profit, and profit, because its their world. their game. their rules.
rules which are made by expectation. they, we, demand rules to be broken. its part of the game. so that they can have reason to put us back in our place. so we can have reason to pull ourselves back. its time we stopped playing by the rules. its high time to start inventing again. get back to the roots of our intelligence. because we arent using it here, not for them. we can only own it, if we become it. so become smart, become humble, become faithful, become graceful, become honest, become strong, become a survivor, and become human once again.
