Amidst deals I can not refuse. Sweat. Dizziness. Confusion.
When instinct takes over, I am no more.
It is the filthiness in my being that I watch from a distance.
It moves me. It is moved by forces wanting power.
My morality takes a step back. Breathes and starts pushing again.
Against the forces of survival.

Transient
There was it
Again
Growing in me
Distracting me
As if
Warming up my body
The dove wanders
Comes closer
Upon the connection
Too close
Thought is in the way
Connecting the dots
He wanders always in his mind. When walking the same path, the arrogant does not move away. We collide. Thinking long and deep for the way to revenge defeats me many times. Then in a brave spurt I follow him. Quickly start in his opposite direction, then I do not move away. We collide. Planned revenge.
When rationality has no answers, social dominance has power. And the powerful, never has enough, is always taking. The social dominant invests less in knowledge and thereby tries to starve it. Starving and weak we fight with the sword of science. But if philosophy of science itself sees sciences as a belief system, then dominance takes over the discussion. When the light of relativity hits the facts of science it reveals its hollow inside. As hollow as that social dominance. Intellect is losing it’s playing field and we see change coming up.
Society is in evolution. Social media takes part. Social dominance is getting traction again, freeing itself from its ban by the rational. Rationality starts losing our attention now. No bite sized facts have the colour to attracts us any longer. Those lines of code that translate to the internet of things do. The have the magnetism to attract our eyes and our mind so much that we can not help but bump into our fellow humans in the street. The technology that fits perfectly in our hand and starts using the science of psychology to make us into the severely addicted. There is a new player in the field. I want to scream this out loud.
Are we blind? Even the people that break loose for a moment or two, get sucked in by that force again. That is it! No more social dominance, no more intellectual dominance. Now power lies with that invisible force that we have helped creating, that we clearly feel, that we gossip about and where we speculate about its future. If we can even call it ‘IT’. Pun intended. Break lose!
Help yourself first. Then those sitting next to you. That slide into water after opening the emergency exit will surely kill ‘it’ for a while. But the who is to save us? We are part of a system now, so big, so dynamic and powerful, it has started to be an organism in itself. And we can CHANGE. Again. Keep changing. There Obama would certainly agree that buddhism is still relevant. Change. Awareness of impermanence. Giving discipline to both mind and feeling. Then peace is what is left.
It grasps me
Weak as I am
We obey to it
Weak as we are
One wanders in confusion
Confused as one is
As lost as that force
That does all this
Good as it feels
Unreal as it is
Erupts
When uncontrolled
Fertile may it seem
For that seeker of power
Evolves to be good
Continuity arises
When the humble strongmen retreats.
What are we working against where we find our value? And where does this uncontrollable force finds it’s value? We ourselves steer away for that in which we suffer and we call it beauty, truth and values. It this force suffering? It must have a lead. Steering away from the suffering, leading us somewhere anew. To where it’s own values lie.
Could it survive, and thus evolve, if we remove ourselves from the equation? Will it still thrive? For now: no. We need each other. Like the flower and the bee need each other. We know this know, we feel it too. So we must be one step ahead. One step a phenomenon like this can not reach yet, the fact that we are aware of the problem. ‘It’ can not. Can it? We are still thinking within the human frame of knowledge now and can not judge on this, like we can at this point not judge what another organism is experiencing. Subjectivity is one major struggle never to be overcome by the rational human. Still no answer.
Let’s watch it evolve.
I have been struggling with homophobia. My upbringing, my social network and society in general have had me believe anything other than ‘heterosexual’ was acceptable for me to feel. This had resulted in a fear of loving men and thereby a fear of the thoughts of loving men. Not able to conquer fear, self punishment followed in the form of self doubt. Escaping minor depressive tendencies, openly sharing my thought is making me believe that suppression can be overcome. Identification as omni sexual might hold an answer. The human tendency for judgement and thereby devision, could not be necessary. Why pursue this objective? As life progresses, the only way to sustain the quality of the group is self control . On a mass scale. To not judge. Not to misuse power. To not suppress. To overcome the suffering of the group by sustained effort of the group. This quality comes with the ability to not pursue both fear (phobia) and desire. Omni Amore (?). M.K.
Why is there war?
Why are humans suffering?
What is holding us back?
We are living in a time of abundance.
Competition is no longer needed to survive.
To unleash the full potential of the conscious mind, it must be freed from any burden.
To progress to a new age, where physical suffering is no longer a burden we must perfect healthcare.
There must be the option of suffering. Suffering causes progression. I trust mankind to stay awake and suffer for progression. When healthcare takes away physical suffering, problems with the same order of magnitude must replace the old. Otherwise comes comfort, laziness and the end of the expanding nature of consciousness.
So how is healthcare perfected. Prevention of suffering. Any detrimental behavior is not eliminated but freed from being the only option. A second option is given. An option based on data and personal goals. A perfect match of what you need and what you get. Applied directly.
Example:
Blood values point toward a unhealthy level of zinc. You are recommended a dietary change and this is prepared and delivered within minutes to you anywhere.
Needed are data, logistics and trust.

And we should, indeed, live as if we were in public view, and think, as if someone could peer into the inmost recesses of our hearts – which someone can ! For what is to be gained if something is concealed from man when nothing is concealed from God? – Lucius Annaeus Seneca
When communication your thoughts form a line of reasoning and go over into action. It clears up the scattered mind. By communicating to yourself thoughts don’t always form a understandable whole. When trying to communicate to someone else, this crystallization will make the content more accessible for everyone, even yourself. This is why buddhists use vipassana meditation or Anne Frank had a diary. Now i join the art of self reflection by writing to whomever feels like hearing. Feel free to use my thoughts. At least I intend to.
