The military industrial complex dwells inside my mind.
a protected, unelected deep ego dwells within me, maintaining control at all costs. it is not ethical nor does it negotiate. Its purpose is survival. it uses all available resources - it diverts necessary functions, even - in order to build defenses and armor and weapons that ensure its survival.
but i don't need it anymore.
I want it to go away. all the defenses and armor and weapons are holding me back from being giving and loving and open and free and brave. All these tools exist in my mind for the purposes of defending something that's not worth defending, perpetuating something thats not worth perpetuating.
How do I transition away from this monstrous ego? how do i let go of these habits of control?
my mind grasps power, my ego reaches for perpetuity.
anatta. No-self.
How do we experience anatta? Breath and posture. Fasting. Meditation. And service, otherwise known as work. Challenging habits. Wakefulness. Relinquishing our addiction to samsara. We must challenge our habits. How?
Nilakantha. Siva blue throat. Neither accepting nor rejecting. Mere observation, without reaction.
Awareness. Equanimity.
hmm.
accept. resist nothing. Fear nothing. Survival is not threatened. Be free. Be unafraid. Take the time, don't react. The world is illusion, open to now, accept the now, and appreciate the now-
(awaken to breath and posture)

karma and the divine feminine
We who have come of age in the West grew up in a world without knowledge of karma. We have not been educated to overstand that our speech, our actions, and our thoughts are the creators of our reality.
Consequently, we have failed to create realities of our choosing and instead have created realities out of our unmastered minds dwelling on unmastered thoughts.
This miseducation has been deliberate.
Unmastered minds are easily mastered by those who have cultivated great focus and concentration. Through concentration practice one masters one's mind, and in so doing one may master situations of mind which exist throughout time and space, and indeed have caused time and space to be.
In educating a populace of intelligent beings without training in karma - or the law of attraction - the masters of education have deliberately created a race of beings who are easily mastered, enslaved, and yoked to the mill of materialism, time, and death, feeding the insatiable bloodlust of Kali.
These masters of education are priests who make sacrifice to appease the bloodlust of Kali. The sacrifices are made amidst great manipulation, confusion, and deceit, so that the population does not even know whence this confused sacrifice came to be or why.
The masters of education sacrifice to Kali knowing they sacrifice without the consent of the sacrificed.
The sacrificed consent to be martyrs of God.
God consents to let the age of Kali come and go, arising and passing away like the movement of the breath.
The masters of education are egotistical - they exist and they desire the continuance of their existence. They are the Lords of Materialism. They are the asuras; the demons. They are afraid of death, they name themselves, "I AM" and see not that "I AM CHANGE". They teach the world to fall on their faces before "I AM" and to trample on the face of "I AM CHANGE".
"I AM" must continue its existence. "I AM" must exist in perpetuity. Any threat to "I AM"'s perpetuity is an existential threat that must be terminated. This is the futile selfishness of the ego - the root cause of suffering.
"I AM" cannot exist merely in the present moment - "I AM" must peer into the future and see itself. This is self-reflexive hell, the prison of self-awareness. Duality.
"I AM CHANGE" exists here and now. Thoughtless, wakeful breath and posture. The mind moves and breathes without landing anywhere, like a wave crashing on a beach before another wave crashing on a beach... endless and timeless undefinable movement and motion, empty of form. No observer, no observed, mere awareness and movement of awareness like water poured into water. Unity.
"I AM" is attachment. "I AM CHANGE" is letting go.
America, and the Western ego, is attached. Time to change.

crisis
Bastante Solipsis Marquez remained addicted to samsara. He remained addicted to samsara because he wanted to live.
Bastante clung to life. It was his most basic, primordial desire: To live. He survived, childishly and selfishly putting the needs of his ego before anyone else, and in surviving he cultivated a base defiance of that which challenged and threatened his survival. His ego refused to let go of preconceived realities.
He grew egotistical. That which challenged his ego felt personally threatening. He could not bear surprises that shook the ground of his identity; who he believed himself to be. He identified with self.
His very survival felt so tenuous; he did not know if he would live or die. It made him paranoid, and frightened of death.
He did not know if he would exist or cease to exist; he felt terrified. He saw his addiction to self and knew the Buddha had taught anatta, no-self.
He knew he needed to practice no-self. He knew he was bad at it; having spent years grasping at self he saw how hard it was to unlearn bad habits. He knew his self was not very bueno.
He wanted to kill the ego; the insecure bully who kept sabotoging his life was ruining all of his best chances at happiness. He yearned to put a gun to his head but he knew better. He yearned to put a knife to his dreadlocks and thought about it long and hard.
It was so hard to create and so easy to destroy. He did not want to destroy his ego, after all. Wasn't there any other way?

Shavasana
The traditional method of establishing seniority within tribes is age, is it not? I would respectfully suggest that the second generation of western Ashtanga "teachers", specifically those who take it upon themselves to badmouth unorthodox yet legitimate first generation students of Sri K. Patthabi Jois, quiet down and take a front row seat as the elders reason.
Die, yogis, die.
Practice shavasana.
Om shanti shanti shanti
Die, yogis, die.
Practice shavasana.

Icelandic Dharma
We are under media blackout. Iceland has staged a peaceful revolution. The Icelandic people nationalized their biggest banks, forced their whole government to resign, arrested perpetrators, banned the implicated parties, devalued their currency, and rewrote the constitution. This is the world's greatest national success story and spells the end of the War of Terror and demise of Reptilian fascism. If we were to describe this revolution, we might call it republican socialism. Critics will certainly point out the colossal failures of republican socialism (U.S.S.R) , to which I would reply the USSR was no more republican than the USA is now. the USA is not a republic but an empire, and the USSR was not a republic but an empire also. The USA is Imperial Capitalism, and the USSR was Imperial Communism. What a bummer.
I posit that a real democratic, capitalist, socialist republic would look a lot like Iceland these days.
Lets make a documentary that reveals how to transform the world. Lets document the process by which a republic holds manipulative, constitution-violating oligarchs accountable for their crimes against humanity, and - more importantly - how these republics move forward into peace, prosperity, and an age of global cooperation. I'm pretty sure that by documenting it we can popularize the theme, and viralize it, so to speak.
Because the victory of the republic over empire is equivalent to the victory of the Gaian commons over the Lords of Materialism,
victory of the laws of karma over the laws of physics, the victory of the Kingdom of Heaven over the empire of mammon, the age of Shambhala taking the place of the Kali Yuga.
Then we'll go to Uruguay and get Irie.

Inhale, exhale, rejoice, repeat
Language pits man against nature.
Preconceptual mind is nondual, yet when recognized ("re-cognized") the cognitive function must categorize, differentiate, and memorize, leading to concepts and their consequent dualities.
The nondual state may be perceived as a nonspatial state, or a nonlinguistic state, or a non-ego state. Good luck describing it, I sure can't. It is orderless, uncategorical, evolving, and empty.
The subject/object dualism inherent within linguistic syntax is recapitulated in cognitive thought. This dualism predisposes man's interpretations of sense data as bipolar phenomena with either a subjective or objective bias. I am 'in here' and nature is 'out there'. 'I' therefore necessarily exists. This is ignorance, and suffering.
The sensory phenomena is interpreted cognitively and cognition is dualistic. This means that sensory phenomena tends to be experienced by a distinct, separate 'me' which is consequently doomed to suffer a paranoid and putative existence. We believe ourselves to exist, which gets in the way of being.
Language is a map. The actual territory is inexpressible.
Dualism is the split of self into self and other, and language is syntactically dualistic. So the very act of thinking is suffering! Language itself led man's evolving thought patterns into a negative feedback loop - a closed loop - in which he was trapped, syntactically separated from his own inherent infinity by his perpetually evaluating mind.
This is the wasteland of the 20th century cogito: I think therefore I am, so my very being is trapped in the prison of my own thoughts. In order to be, we must follow the demands of our thoughts, unstable as they are. Such a perspective has nearly destroyed the world.
The modern western meditation - surfing, skiing, climbing, biking, running, paragliding, kitesurfing, skateboarding, dancing, takes man out of his thoughts into his body, suspending the dualistic, discursive, and ultimately insatiable mind. It is here man finds peace from his demons, for all thoughts beget unanswerable questions regarding assumptions behind the geometry and syntax of thinking, as well as the existence of the thinker. And if you could follow that one your head probably hurts and you need to talk a walk in the woods now.
So take a deep breath and let it out and keep doing that for the rest of your life, and pay more attention to your breathing than your thoughts, because Descartes was dead wrong and yoga scientifically proves it. Even when you are paying attention to your thoughts, pay attention to your breath even more. You will notice that better breathing leads to better thoughts. This is the revelation of somato-psychology, wherein the cogito is turned on its head: I think therefore I am is out of date.
I think because I am.

Snowden for President
mind is anatomical. As long as we remain in samsara we remain tied to geometric, "thinking," mind.
bodhisattvahood is ignorance. Remaining in samsara out of compassion for all sentient beings is a form of ignorance, and this path is deliberately chosen by many many bodhisattvas throughout time.
i don't want a legal government i want a moral one. Humanity is not content with a legal government and will not rest until resting within a moral one.
The holy roman empire is babylon. Lending money at interest is usury; a Ponzi scheme. This was forbidden by early followers of Christ per his example and remains forbidden in the books of the Vatican to this day, as well as forbidden in Islam. What happened?
In a word: Zionism. Zionism (at its worst) is the political strategy of lending money at interest. Money isn't the root of all evil, but usury might be, at least according to Christ. False "Zionism" is the ideology of usury, plain and simple. Judaic people inherited usurious "Zionism" from the Babylonions during their Babylonian Captivity, believe it or not. this is why Zionism is actually not the agenda of Zion at all, but the agenda of Babylon. The Zionist agenda is not merely to hold land physically in the middle east - the Zionist agenda is to replace Islamic, interest-free banking backed by a republic with usurious, privately owned Zionist-Babylonian banking throughout the middle east, enforcing a global Ponzi scheme whereby the wealth of the world is amassed by the families of the banking elite.
What are the intentions of the money makers, the money printers and the money lenders? I don't trust them. Their intentions seem impure.
The Holy Roman Republic is Zion. The empire is usurious, but the kingdom of heaven is not. The Republic prints interest-free money, money printed not as debt but as a lien on assets. in this case, hemp assets, represented by hemp currency. Printed interest free by a national treasury beholden to the public good.
Zion is not Zionism. Zion is the public good, and Zionism is class warfare. All -isms are dualistic, and to be abandoned. We don't need none of your -ism schism.
Israel and America have both been co-opted by Zionists, temporarily. Which is ok, once they leave it behind to manifest the Kingdom of Zion.
A peaceful jihad on usury would look a lot like Bob Marley's crusade against Babylon.
Wage Jihad on babylon, comrades. Peacefully.
Down with usury. Down with the Federal Reserve.
Wage Jihad on Babylon, comrades. Peacefully.
Edward Snowden for president.
the moneymakers make the rules.
what are the priorities of the money-printers?
Lending money at interest is a ponzi scheme.
Give unto Caesar what is Caesars
and give God what is Gods
let the empire sink under its fiat paper debt
let God have the gold and silver
and the hemp. And the trees and the waters and the woods.
and precious gems and semiprecious stones
give it away to God.
Jesus Christ amen.
