Uradiance

1. No one is to blame.  Blame is an illusory link of causation formed out of ignorance, feeding the sense of separation. Every time we blame someone, we make them the cause of our life and forfeit our freedom. We empower whoever we blame. 2. Money is an illusion that we can live without. Money was invented to give few power over many. Money was never a necessity for human community. Humans will one day awaken to the realization that we could have lived without money all along, communicating at the subtlest level of trust , extending to one another unlimited credit and debt-forgiveness in every transaction. 3. We will discover the free, clean, unlimited energy source. We will tap into the infinite energy that is inherent in pure empty space, liberating us from dependence on fossil fuels, nuclear power, and every previous source. Empty space overflows with abundant potential energy, in the form of virtual electrons and virtual photons of light. These virtual particle...

Today, become so free you cannot find your way back to an I.

You think you are liberal? God is way more liberal. God's wild open-hearted forgiveness makes every radical look conservative. How else could humans get away with it? Sometimes I think God should be more strict. But God knows what She's doing. She wants us to mature beyond the laws of right and wrong, fulfilling all possible commandments by following one simple rule: Namastes Me, Namastes Me, Namo Namaha. Bowing to the divine in you, I bow to the divine in me. We bow to the divine in each other.

Does a Buddha feel sadness? Does a Buddha feel joy? A Buddha is established in Upeksha, which we can translate as dispassion or detachment. Many Westerners conclude that to be a Buddhist one must suppress or annihilate all one's feelings. This misinterpretation makes Buddhism seem nihilistic and even depressing to Westerners. Yet it is precisely the quality of Upeksha that empowers a Buddha to embrace the richness of human emotion, without getting stuck in it. A clear empty mirror reflects every details of the world, yet the world is really not in the mirror. The mirror is always clear and empty. When the events are over, they do not stick to the mirror. So detachment allows a Buddha to experience the passions of others with understanding and forgiveness, as if they were her own. Sakyamuni Buddha compared this state to a mother's infinite care for her only child. When the child cries, the mother feels the cry, yet does not share the baby's fear of abandonmen...

They say the movement has no leadership. But perhaps there is a new kind of leadership, rooted in collaborative Unknowing, with a deep faith in Presence. This movement is only a taste, a rehearsal for post-2012 leadership, which will see the end of outmoded governments. What is our new leader's name? Issoa.

With the so-called Enlightenment of the 17th century, Western culture found its religion but lost its soul, embraced the methods of empirical science but forgot the methods of meditation, invented objectivity but turned the self into a four-letter word. "When I enter most intimately into what I call myself , I always stumble on some particular perception, of heat or cold, light or shade, love or hatred, pain or pleasure. I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe any thing but the perception.... We are nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity..." (David Hume, A Treatise On Human Nature ) Why does Hume write, "I never can catch myself at any time without a perception?" Because he tries to catch a thing instead of a Self. He grasps. And in the very act of grasping, he breaks reality in two. The subject denies its own existence as it reaches out for ...

    Being pissed off is not the answer. It only feels like the answer. Then you discover that you've given half of your energy to the very people you're pissed off at, in the form of your outraged shadow. I wasted most of my life blaming, scapegoating, projecting my anger on the "enemy." That's what my culture taught me to do as a "man." But I was just making the "enemy" bigger and more powerful by feeding him with my aggression. Now the enemy, the slogans tell is, is "the rich." For a while there it was Muslims. Then it was "the far right." We just keep replacing one scape goat with another: we need someone to hang our shadow on. I'm finished with toxic blame. Projecting anger and blame wastes half my energy, energy I could be spending actually creating something - like joy, like beauty, like abundance.  I refuse to buy into any more conflict between Rich and Poor, Left and Right, Christian vs. Musl...

Sometimes there is unity. And sometimes there is God and I. Why should two be less than one? I talk to God without words, the way a sparkling stream talks even in the darkness, flowing from water to water. God isn't interested in my reasons for believing or disbelieving. God is interested in my friendship. If  God and I were not friends, we'd have to settle for oneness.

  Ultimately, the purpose of science is to validate the benefits of laughing, dancing, and singing God's name.

  Let the sign of the movement not be a raised fist, but the Abahya Mudra, the raised hand of the Peace blessing, Eye of Wisdom in its palm, so open. Abahya means "without fear." Fear closes fists and hearts. The spirit of peace opens hands and hearts.

Corporate lobbyists own both major parties. The 99% Movement has the energy, but is not yet focused into a political strike force.  Perhaps the next step for this  movement is a viable third party: the Progressive People's Party of America. We need candidates and concrete legislative plans. But first we need a focused party platform. Here's a potential one to get the discussion moving. * Rid politics of private money: institute public campaign financing. * Cut military spending in half. Bring home the troops . The age of empire is over. * Link educational reform to the green economy: Make sustainability the basis of public school curriculum. Inspire students to develop clean energy technologies, and life-styles of environmental harmony. Use game theory and internet computer gaming to pool the nation's collective intelligence and produce collaborative solutions to green energy problems. * Extend the 7% FICA withholding tax to all earned inco...

Just beyond the edge of our sandbox, where we throw sand in each others' faces and make each other cry, ceaselessly whining, "Give me that, it's mine!", our Mother watches patiently over us, whispering, "Children, when you finish your hissy-fit, I will make you lunch."

Be a horizon, become a curve. No need to take sides when you spread your arms. The tantrum of this world is smaller than your body, smaller than your rising falling chest. Be unclosed, an embrace. from the galaxy of your crown to the belly of your atoms, one breath. This is how Jesus died, whispering "forgive them," and woke up inside every flower, every eye. Something in you has awakened to infinite rest. If your heart did not just open, what did?

‎"It is not enough to be neutral. I must passionately choose sides in the conflict." "It is not enough to take sides. A deeply centered part of me must remain neutral." Both of these statements are true. In the heat of conflict, each side stereotypes the other, projecting its shadow of fear on the adversary until what is beheld is not the other, but the darkest aspect of oneself. Thus the Capitalist and Socialist, Israeli and Palestinian, Believer and Non-Believer, energize the darkest aspects of each other. In such conflicts, the only sanity is neutrality. In progressive circles, it has become fashionable to condemn neutrality as implicit cooperation with the oppressor. But neutrality can be the deepest form of courage, and the way to peace. Without neutrality, where is the meeting place, the space for listening, for mediation, for conflict-resolution? Standing at the heart of conflict, with the courage of neutrality, our very Being defuses polari...

  "Among the great things found among us, the existence of no-thing is the greatest." ~Leonardo da Vinci "You have to learn meditation to enjoy your emptiness. And that is one of the greatest days in life, when a person starts enjoying emptiness, aloneness, nothingness." ~ Osho "This whole universe of finite Yes's comes out of one infinite No." ~Mahesh Yogi Please un-think about this if you truly want to not-know it.
