A good reason to live
A good reason to live is small and fits in the palm of your hand, like a seed. It is kept secret, 'lest it be wrestled from you.

television
After watching a bit of an educational program on what might have been The Discovery Channel or The Learning Channel, I fear that it was designed to misinform and obscure information for viewers in relation to the presented subjects of what I will call "alternative history and science". The theories and such presented were things which have been floating about the internet for the past 10+ years in which trademark "experts" and "sceintists" "professors" and "P.H.D.s" offer a few interesting tidbits filled with a lot of nonsense. Rather, the television seems to add up the experts, while the internet can just let one ramble on for pages.
What is most resentful about these body's of so-called fringe knowledge is when they are presented with an incredible air of suspicion of facts followed by theory and conjecture which must and only correlate the biases towards the facts. To realize the outlandishness of it one only needs to look at how is presented the evidence in relation to the theory. To attempt to draw an example, they say something like, "the Mayans 'might' have had extensive knowledge of our solar system far in advance of the civilizations which were supposedly much more advance of the Mayans" (here experts molest us with words such as "might" "could have" and "maybe"). Then comes the theory from the field expert, which, stated as fact, "The Mayans were trying to tell us something. They had a message for us of the future".
HOGWASH!
This seems to be how a lot of television and even books and other writings are presented. We have a case of the most designer disease of Western Civilization: The Man Is Bigger Than The Mountain... Disease. Surgical Name: IM#1
Signs of the disease are a Mountain of Evidence which is never seen, rarely looked at or black painted gold, standing behind The Man who must be right. Symptoms include confusion, depression, hopelessness, and ultimatly death. Consult your doctor if dead (they don't know how to cure, but they sure know how to move a dead body).
Here I will cut off any more words in exaggerated disgust and end with a closing paragraph.
Is there right knowledge out there? Yes. Will it be found on a television screen? Maybe.
But the truest knowledge comes from within and is verified within. The ancients tell us to go to the wise and learn. The wise tell us to seek direct experience. Both sound like good advice. So that is what I will do.

Rainbows
Marco is questioning why we think rainbows are neat. To me, when seen full, they look like the sky is frowning.

Update: Mr. Jim Danish says "Try standing on your head...."
Marco goes "Ah Ha!"

Go live out in the country
Go live out in the country
Ive got an attachment to big cites.
Big shirts, big grins, big stomping sounds.
But the good things they offer, come from the void.
The sage says, "go live out in the country"
I wake up,
The movie producer isn't beside me.
Though these days we're getting closer.
The actors are still playing their sinister roles,
Handicapp dogs, shithead mafioso

A Truthful Homage
If I don't close the doors,
Bugs will come in, then bug me.
A clean house offers nowhere to land.
Shoo away bugs, sweep away dust.
The Real Lords
The real Lordesses and Lords of the world are lovers of nature,
Encouraging me brightly to shine in my true nature.
Admiring the grass, the roots and the leaves,
Tell me to write a strong song for the True-Creation.
If I don't close the doors,
Bugs will come in, then bug me.
A clean house offers nowhere to land.
Shoo away bugs, sweep away dust.
The Real Lords
The real Lordesses and Lords of the world are lovers of nature,
Encouraging me brightly to shine in my true nature.
Admiring the grass, the roots and the leaves,
Tell me to write a strong song for the True-Creation.

Anticipation
I must insist that I keep practicing my flute. It's easier to setup than my saxophone and they are similar enough in fingering that it's like im practicing my saxohone too.

Something
I want to post something before I eat.
There, now I will eat.
There, now I will eat.

Time Zones
I woke up on the other side of a Time Zone.
My clock stayed behind.
Really it was right next to me, but its just that it's little thought was different than mine.
Assuming we are equal. Which we are not.
Yet, was I to assume an even smaller thought?
That an hour had passed in the blink of an eye?
4:00 am - 4 hours of sleep - awake - then meditation.
I was sleeping in my car, which I've been doing of late.
Traveling in the direction of the Atlantic Ocean.
The thought that is was now considered 5 am gave rise to a question:
Should I be happy that I woke up on time at or despondent that I woke up late?
I like to be happy.
Now I make a parallel:
When somebody dies are you happy that they were there or are you despondent that they are gone?
I like to be happy.
I can not be both because both,
because one is not real.
Times zones are not real.
And Death is not real.
The imaginary passing of an hour for me.
Is like the imaginary passing of love, you see?
Well on this trip the love of dear dead Annie visited me.
how could this be, if death were not imaginary?
So to remind, that death, like time,
Must be imaginary-
A complex in the mind.
forced to be "true"
by an agreement with "you"
that such a thing exists,
as matter, and space and time.
So if one day you see, the passing of a loved one's body.
Remember that it is just like the clock which we set for our convenience.
In the spring an hour disappears in a moment.
Nothing really lost, just a change of numbers.
