Knowledge is not Wisdom

Knowledge is not Wisdom

November 20, 2021
Being able to ‘empty the winds’ of thoughts and worries is a godsend that all have within their ability. Not long ago, my many years use of a Yahoo account with so much information on it, pictures, connections, personal stuff, etc. was for unknown reasons expunged by yahoo,
although some I’ve been able to transfer to here with a new account. Amazing how the internet is great, but when pulled out from under us feels a bit traumatic. Others are facing so much worse – we have to remember that ‘we are far more fortunate than billions who are alive now, not to mention those who have passed on. The mind is a great asset and yet we can let it become a garbage can of negative flotsam. Knowledge is not wisdom.

I once watched an Interview by Amy Goodman of ‘Democracy Now’ with Jennifer Harbury, a human rights lawyer on US role in the Refugee Crisis, with harrowing stories of some of the illegal refugees – truly giving a more sympathetic understanding of many of their situations such that we must be thankful for how ‘blessed’ we really are.

‘Overthinking’, especially about one’s own perceived dilemmas, really is a stumbling block to seeing the positive opportunities that await our clearing the mind and allowing them in. A while ago, at my free speech displays downtown, an 86 year old guy, who looked pretty good, opened up about himself to reveal a very fascinating man who had suffered great hardships. He opened up when I said, ‘it’s hard to tell what nationality you are’? He said he was born in Bombay, India with one parent being Japanese! He was also a US Army Vet (with the rank of Colonel) and had served in Vietnam. He was a prisoner of war there for 3 years, and pulled out a photo of him looking like a skeleton saying that being imprisoned here was mostly a ‘cakewalk’ compared to his ‘prisoner of war’ situation. Over the years, he received 2 purple hearts! He said he was a devout Christian too. Inspite of his hardships, I could see and told him, that his soul energy was very strong, and that he would surely have many more years to live (he said to 105).

Quite a story and one that demonstrates the value of a positive approach – letting go and moving on in a positive direction! A reminder that just because the yahoo account won’t open, it might later and in any case, I have to look for new opportunities and yet appreciate what was, and the new opportunity. Life can be filled with so many blessings, especially for us that forget the billions who experience far less, AND have no idea in their minds how to (if they even can) rise above negative circumstances! WE are each given infinite blessing within our reach, but we have to wake up and see, and then appreciate them. Each of us is the ‘chosen one’! Arhata~

She’s Homeless – 👎

Posted on by

November 13, 2021
La Da Dee La Da Da. She’s become a gypsy woman. Sleeping in the day, staying awake at night being vigilant for the male who might use her as a drug. How did it happen that she became a gypsy woman and a homeless soul. She was a mermaid in Las Vegas as well as playing every role available needing a dancer.

I met her one day on the Venice boardwalk. She stayed at my meditation center for a few weeks. Nearing 40, her ID was stolen by a boyfriend and son of a famous singer. He used her ID for another girlfriend. She became homeless & nameless in Hollywood. It was shocking that a pretty Las Vegas dancer with a wonderful spirit came to this circumstance. Life can have many twists and turns even for those who played a staring role once.

“Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see” but reflects denial or lack of awareness of reality, because “nothing is real, but nothing to get hung up with especially about if you make life experiences into opportunities to rise above what you fell from. Homelessness isn’t hopelessness when the heart is open to see that life is filled with many miracles that just need your openness to receive.

Always keeping love close to you, starting with opening the love that sits in your heart waiting for you to have faith in opening up to bond with your heart.. Both giving and receiving will help to open your heart. The mind is a great tool, but eventually the mind alone will leave the heart homeless. Think of the rich man who has every material, chance are likely that there will be a sense of connecting very little with the heart. In a sense, the rich can be ‘homeless’ with money and ‘things’ just continually creating barriers that avoid the real riches of the freedom of being. The greatest sense of being rich is with your heart’s overflowing with love.

Prior to going to sleep, focus on feeling love. Go to sleep with that feeling and when awakening, be grateful and thankful that you are a miracle. Connect with moments of love in your past experiences and/or be open to sending love anonymously and without the other knowing it. Step by step see the opportunity in everything as a path coming closer to love. No one was born to be separated from the conditions of love and be flung out to live a ‘ferrel life. Life is a ‘giving’, wanting you to be receiving.

Two Hundred IQ 👆

Posted on by

November 7, 2021

Most all have it! It’s been said many times, the human
race may have a high intellect here and there, but collectively has a serious ‘gap’ between common, positive, intelligence currently, and what ‘could be’. This is the reason why I have canceled acknowledging all IQ’s in favor of a new one that I use which is a ‘subjective’ sliding measurement from 1-200. For example someone who thinks they have an IQ of 150, on some things, can have an IQ of an ‘Idiot’ (let’s say 50) on an unlimited amount of things.
Speaking of a 200 IQ, I, on a few occasions, interacted with a unique female by the name of Marilyn vos Savant (born Marilyn Mach) who lived in the same high rise building in Manhattan. She’s listed as an American magazine columnist, author, lecturer, and playwright. She was listed as having the highest recorded intelligence quotient (IQ) in the Guinness Book of Records at 200!

Within each one of us there is a master of the universe. Not the universe out there, but the inner universe of our thoughts and feelings, attitudes and actions. Most people

realize too late what awaits within and how valuable it is. For too long we allow ourselves to be distracted and bewitched by all that is happening outside. To be the master of your inner world is to be the master of your own destiny. Are you going to be the master or a slave?

Indoctrination schools, sadly, seem to be more and more replacing Education schools. My experiences with interaction, especially with the female gender, of different occupations, has been that their ‘occupation’ greatly affects how they appear in personal interaction. Cops are different than ‘computer’ people, as teachers occupation differs from lawyers occupations. Having had some involvement with both grade school teachers and lawyers, the difference in general behavior is markedly.

That may make no sense to most, and of course other factors in their lives add to the mix of behavior. Indoctrination follows into adulthood. In the case of teachers they, like other occupations, follow the indoctrination from the top with only limited, ‘guarded free thinking on their own’. Perhaps the ‘paycheck’ is part of the ‘guard’? To use ones intelligence is to always focus on ‘common sense’.“When you talk you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new 👂 ”— 14th Dalai Lama The best use of intelligence is to reset your moral compass, so you can trust your own judgement as to what is right and what

Slip Out the Back …😮

Posted on by

Oct. 29, 2021
…Jack, make a new plan Fran, you don’t need to be coy, Joy. We don’t need to discuss much.

Problem is all is all in your mind and you listening to the wrong voices in your head. See the light and forget the fight. Falling in love with the one who’s going to break your heart is listening to the heart too much ignoring commons sense. Nothing is what it seems. Instead listen to your heart and awareness with discernment before it’s too late. There are silent voices that want to be felt and heard that could be calling for you, and they just may be cloaked in common sense.

Everybody hurts sometimes with the memories you’ve been through. Somehow, sometime you have to let go of the hurtful attachments and know that the sun shines bright somewhere that will help you let go. We’ll always have loves memories, and they will bring back the love that was at it’s best. Feeling good and even better is seeing the sunshine that’s always there and ready to give the shadow of your memories, and a new light on the way of today and tomorrow. Knowing love will always be there, and can be built upon especially from your decision to find the enlightenment within.

Always, you are a one person show even without the deep connection with another one with that ‘same show’. Always deepen your self-awareness, and with kindred spirits. By changing yourself, you contribute to changing the world and to see who you really are. The further we drifts from truth the more another will hate you for speaking it.

The imbalanced, shadow side of acceptance is passivity, laziness, and avoidance. It is not mindful growth. If we see a window of opportunity and fail to jump through it, no one benefits. Real change is at the heart of what it means to be human. With each change we learn and we recreate ourselves. We are able to see in a way that was not previously possible. We can act and achieve in a way that we could not before. With each change the world is different, our relationships are transformed.

Life is a mirror of your choices, be they of perception that is the accumulation of your experiences and how we consciously or unconsciously made the part of the you that you and others see from their experiences of perception. To be free and freer, let go of the false me that has the accumulated impediments of yesteryear. Slip out of the past, and plan for the unseen miracle of the moment that will light the moments ahead. Make every move you make be with a smile.

Friend Censorship

Posted on by

October 3, 2021
Are you the victim or the perpetrator of someone who
carelessly finds fault in another’s talk? Selective hearing, selective interpretation, selective response relation that leaves the listener on the edge of having to ‘let it go’, or at worst feeling ‘mind abused’ is not communication. There is no romance and compassion in cryptic initiating of verbiage. Spewing forth and initiating words that you don’t take responsibility for asking what the others feeling are about what you say, is selfish and rude.Your talk that doesn’t feel good to another is because they’d rather dialog than argue or having the narrative forced on them – ‘is censorship’ or communication molesting or a form of pummeling ‘gaslighting’!
The best talk is with love and not stored, perhaps unconscious revenge from the past. Many are like walking on egg shells to have a communication-dialog with due to ‘no-no words and thoughts that they aren’t able to handle smoothly’. It becomes selfish, erratic conversation for the open communicator. Not only does this happen personally, but more and more because of sources of information that are either ‘mainstream’ vs. authentic independent researchers who are never invited to
speak on mainstream sources.
Bottlenecks for communication are caused by
unconscious censorship perhaps emanating
from yesteryears bad memories. Being a vice
president of sales for corporations in NY, it was
an unspoken word to let the prospect talk
without arguing with them no matter how
discourteous they were. Some of those rules,
as hard as they are in a personal conversation
with someone, are best even if it requires walking away without any rancor. The most annoying habit, according to surveys that spouses have between the is ‘Selective Hearing’. We’ve all done it, but it is poor
etiquette and manners that each controls. We have one mouth and two ears. With that, hearing is more powerful than speaking. Speaking makes noise that can be inappropriate.
Each one of us is a walking radiator. Mostly we radiate thoughts and attitudes. From deep within we radiate our state of being, and the essential, original and eternal state of every being is peaceful and loving. But we block and distort this energy with our attachments. Attachments turn love into fear, peace into anger and then distort our attitudes and actions towards others. This is neither relaxing for ourselves, nor for those around us. Which is why sensitive detachment is the secret to living lightly and lovingly.
Always examine your habits for the possibility that they may be a block to inner evolvement.
People don’t love themselves enough because they are unhappy with what they see within themselves, and being reflected in daily living. Let love flow from the ears and the mouth by hearing and speaking
with an open heart. The most secret and best friend you’ll ever have is ‘you’. Fall in love with you, or better said ‘rise in love’ from within.

Pot Destroys Love 💚

Posted on by

October 21, 2021
I’m a drunkard! A Drunkard on positive living and coming from the heart of love. The breath of life is air, it is also convertible to love by your breath. That’s why when you feel love the breath is deeper and slower.

Now about ‘weed’ creating love…well it’s called weed because (my opinion) that it engenders small amounts of love feeling known as a ‘high’. Have always been for Marijuana legalization, and I don’t think it was a mistake, BUT as a non user, and one who has studied harm it can do, I recommend either not using it or only on rare occasions. (I’m also anti eating any sources of ‘smoke’ as well as using any drug except for sacred use or rational healing purposes).

Doing the ‘world’s largest display of free speech’ now for 28 years beginning in Venice Beach (LA), I’ve had 10’s of millions view my ‘shock spiritual word essays’ that are always with the intent to be as truthful and positive as possible on matters that are critical for an evolving individual and society, and I mix them with a little humor. To some, they are very personal provoking – as I tell them, it’s what’s ‘provoking you’ that you need to pay attention to as all I write is meant to be helpful and affirmative.

Even today in downtown Portland, I have a ‘sign board’ from the late ’90’s called POT KILLS LOVE. My specialty is ‘love & relationships as a spiritual path’ – and from wonderful experiences always to seeking the highest experience for myself and any confidant. Among my messages on Pot is NEVER be involved with a consistent pot smoker!

Certainly no one is on earth to feed bad habits, as those habits can and do become frenemies sometimes serving the ego and then turning into bad karma. Up and down emotions means something is not right. It might be you, them, or likely both of you. Life is providing answers to smooth out the days, months and years ahead but for your unconscious blocking them and not accepting that you and only you created them regardless of prior traumatic experiences, likely from childhood. Seek answers from those few who are not lugging unresolved issues, and have ‘lightened the load’ to where there is no more to lug.

There is no one who should be judged for having a little drug especially pot. If any outer stimulant becomes a habit which can’t be walked away from immediately, and for a long period, it’s not a sacred, beneficial use. There is no better stimulant than letting go and being in the heart even if it challenges your mind and hurting heart. It’s a process of letting go and always works given time. And remember, ‘time’ is free! Use it to be a being of love. Typical, frequent use of marijuana is just a ‘denial’ of not seeking and exploring methods to see the blessings within. Let love be your drug and high!

Are they those who are not coping or just coming
unglued with shattered illusions, yet not realizing that
their refusal to let go and move up in personal
evolvement is buying into the matrix that’s controlling their lives? Crazanity might be one word that describes this ‘transitional’(?) moment in American/world history.
Portlandia – sewer city, and not the ‘claimed’ city of Roses!? That’s the downslide like most cities in America. Most larger cities have a normal and beautiful side, however Portland is no less than the most beautiful.The weird people seem to look weirder though, especially compared to a few short years
ago. Blue hair, purple hair, green hair, unkept, scraggly hair etc,. is common whether old or young. Not a city of pleasant looking people, and especially now with graffiti (called tattoo’s) on a significant number of people adorning most of the body it seems.
We have witnessed the greatest civil destruction in America’s history…Riots, looting,
violence, death and destruction have all come knocking. Businesses, federal property, historic statues and monuments, livelihoods of innocent people and much more… burned to the ground or destroyed by the bloodstained hands of hate.
Everywhere there is a wall, it has graffiti on it, actually some of it is really artistic. Don’t like seeing George Floyd taking up infinite more space on walls than Jesus (not that I like to see the
glorified paintings of the ‘sun of god, ergo from the old man in the sky’). Nice
thing, Muhammed doesn’t have a picture! The hair cuts that many wear?
Horrible….especially among the young – gotta wonder where they work? Now with government subsidizing, maybe they don’t have to.
Actually, with .10¢ for empty can and lot’s of people being too good to save them, one can do well going thru the garbage to make $40.00 per day with no taxes plus food stamps and maybe some supplement government income…well, you can’t buy a house, but you can live ok if you don’t have kids.
Very few people are not walking (so it seems) robots here. Masks, head phones,
walking and talking with a smart (?) phone, smoking, sun glasses when not
needed….covering the head is often a good thing as you don’t have to look at the ugly hair
styles. Oh, and there is obesity…seems that it’s 25-30% of people. Over weight by 10-20% is
one thing, but seeing human balloons is something else. As it’s not nice to be judgmental, please forgive me, and have compassion for everyone regardless.
Oh, I forgot the occasional babbling screamer, especially in cities with more people. All this and more, however living in a beautiful neighborhood is to be grateful for the many blessings.
Nevertheless, it’s great living in God’s country! I’m declaring people like myself who are more informed, than 90%, to be the new non violent Antifa (anti fascists), and the real ones who see we are on the ‘eve of destruction’ and takeover by greed and those
acting like robots inspite of living in the most opportune time ever to be
evolving into superconscious beings. All being said, there is much to be thankful for at this moment in time.

Religions End Times

Posted on by

December 31, 2021
We have an abandonment of questioning for the truth beyond accepting all authority.
Why not start here!

Jesus is an historical (his-story) compilation account from pagan times. ‘I love Jesus’ is as important as the old ‘believe in Jesus with faith’ and… regardless of his prior physical existence or not! Wouldn’t an understanding God agree with that? The ‘most positive one person force of positivity in the world today’ is Jesus! It doesn’t matter that he is an ‘archetype’ story! Hope, positivity, truth, and living by more than, ‘the word’ is to live in harmony with all life.

Let’s ‘cut to the chase’. People mostly use religion, as the years go on, as a way to avoid loving themselves without fear, asking questions and instead seeking the answers of the experts who spent years digging up information as to what was real in terms of the sacredness of characters in all of the ‘holy books’. Truth is, most don’t want to know, but the more inner evolved will find an even deeper love within. The reality is we are in a ‘spiritual war’ to either awaken or be controlled.

All religion will continue to wither away as the ‘religions salesmen’ discover the truths behind all religions. It’s not time yet to throw the baby out with the water because of the deep imprint of the stories. The reason NO religion will advocate serious meditation is because it will leave no need of the old religions. The weak shall inherit religion even as more truths of religions are known and people evolve. Religion is still the main healer of ‘broken people’ and/or the needy, except the ‘salesmen of religion’ don’t want you to heal too much or people won’t come back. Even though intent might be good, follow the money.

Does ‘Big Tech’ think it can (true or not some supposedly in the know say it’s alleged), through 5G, and it’s successors, raise consciousness? One way or another, as people become aware and get off their complacency to read why ‘religions’ (even with its ‘wisdoms’) are going to become less visible. Remind yourself that you have the power to transform negative into positive. When your thought changes the situation changes too, and know that will only get you through the door of ‘godliness’, and is the beginning

Adopt an attitude of gratitude not a negative, prophylactic, ambiguous attitude and no gratitude! Everyone has the ‘stardust’ within to be a being of superconsciousness. Key is to concur the intent to seek that state which is already yours for your step by step trek to ‘nirvana within’. People sometimes ask me, what religion are you? I always answer, ‘’I’m a little part of all religions and a big part of no religion’’. Arhata~

Wise & Dumb

Posted on by

October 7, 2021
Wisdom may be the ‘cream’ of intelligence but
intelligence is often used inappropriately for ‘intellect’. First of all, ‘wisdom’ is ‘wise & dumb’ or first admitting that one knows nothing. That being said, an ‘intellectual’ has a higher problem solving mind and memory ability than intelligence. The intellect is more likely to argue. Intelligence is balanced with many internal qualities, among them compassion, empathy, easier ability to open to emotional qualities and with a more open heart as well as a spiritual acumen. IQ measurement is wrongly classified as ‘intelligent quotient’ when in fact it’s ‘intellectual quotient’ .
Having worked in a ‘high intellect’ world and had many friends with high intellects, it’s been my experience that common sense, happiness, inner fulfillment are more missing the more heartfelt, well rounded behavior of the word
meaning of intelligence. Many intellects lack the ability to process the emotional, spiritual, and common sense which is intelligence. An uneducated farmer certainly can be more intelligent than an ‘intellect’ who will
argue ‘that point’ as they will so many things (which can be valuable, but myopic and unfulfilling).
Of course, many are not either of high intellect or intelligence. Conversely, it’s rare
that someone has high intelligence and intellect together. It’s no longer a ‘dualistic world’ (unless you unintelligently make it so) where there are two sides to most
things. It always has been a non duality world where there are infinite answers to many things and/or degrees of projection but mostly unrecognized.. A few years
ago it was standard to say there were 12 different colors. Now it has been established that there are over 1,000 levels of color. That’s non dualistic, and infinite
things are the same.
We humans like to simplify things, especially those in control, by saying it’s this way or that without any intelligence/intellect to see the infinite possibilities. Set fire to the attachment to the
bad memories of yesteryear. Knowledge makes you leaned, wisdom makes you innocent. Knowledge makes you very ego-fulling. The ego feeds on knowledge. Wisdom happens only
when the ego disappears. Death of the ego is a birth of wisdom. Knowledge depends on words as well as memory. Marry the heart, not the mind or intellect. This doesn’t mean to not value knowledge, but knowing is a different
quality. Be aflame with silence and joy. Become a fire of your heart, and letting it be lit through meditation and love will be deepened. Knowledge is safe, but risky. Knowing is solid. Have the guts to let go and focus on the light of
the heart.
