To understand the play of surface events in the world -- whether social and political upheavals, natural cataclysmic events and gradual shifts such as climate change, or unpredictable and uncanny events in one's personal life -- it is necessary to understand the deep play of the Supreme Intelligence that underlies and pervades reality.

We are in the midst of an extraordinary evolutionary mega-mutation. Humans are evolving into a new species; not just a slightly improved animal, an almost inconceivably different variety of non-carbon-based life forms. (more)

We have tried occupying Wall Street. Now let us create new streets without walls. Wall Street will fall of its own dead weight. Let us choose the unknown, not the known exhausted ways of the past; let us give Gaia a good reason to allow us to continue our project of conscious existence as beings of peace, benevolence, and loving unity.

Silence is our psi lens. Only in inner silence can the source of consciousness be realized. This ultimate source is the key to understanding reality. Our current form of science lacks this key. We must create a true and complete psience in place of our defective materialist object-centric science.  (more)

Many people still want to waste time arguing over how serious a crisis is this really, or whether any leader can be trusted to guide us through the transition, or if renunciation of egoic jouissance is a necessary part of a redemptive path, or whether grace will simply descend upon us all one day. Thankfully, there is no more time for such barren debates. (more)

The tragic sense is the power behind religion. God is an impossible concept. This has led, on the one hand, to rampant agnosticism and, on the other, to the silence of the Buddha. Today, instead of recognizing and accepting impossibility, we defiantly demand the impossible. (more)

The ego is adept at seducing us into a state of self-righteousness. It is this that enables us to justify a turn to violence. If we fall into an urban guerilla war scenario, the proverbial gates of Hell will open. Perhaps it is our karma for this to happen, but it is not too late to repent and take a higher road and hold a vision of loving inclusiveness, of universal peace. (more)

The artist is a shaman. The artist's role, especially in the West, has always been to alter the state of consciousness of the viewer, and to force the big Other, the collective superego, to face its own shadow -- as well as to face the super-consciousness, the One that is beyond the Other, that it denies.

Time is the music of eternity. You can clearly hear the changing music of time...it is reaching its death-rock climax. We are closing in on the majestic moment in which God reveals what She can do, She is pulling out the stops, She's about to start jammin'! Enjoy the ride. (more)

The line between rational thought and psychotic delusion has always been tenuous. Nowadays it is a permeable membrane. This problem has flared up as a result of the need for accounting for consciousness itself, the perennial black hole of scientific discourse. Is there a way to think through the situation without falling prey to dogmatism, delusion, and conspiracy theories? (more)

We live in a reality completely inverted from any known in the historic past. The perverse morphing of the social matrix itself has intervened to block our path of growth. This leaves one last option -- that of opening the wormhole in spiritual space between chakra one and chakra seven. (more)

The advent of the alien has the potential to blow apart our cultural world, and possibly even our physical planet -- or to help us restore our human world to a higher level of health, from the physical health of our biosphere to the spiritual health of our noosphere and its mediators. (more)

Schrödinger's cat has today emerged from its box, and is dead-and-alive and well and smiling uncannily at us, like another cat from Cheshire, from every point of our macro-reality. We are clearly now passing through an extraordinary moment of the revelation of quantum superposition in our phenomenal plane.  (more)

The conscious choice of one's life purpose should be considered carefully before stumbling into karmic entanglements that can swallow one up for a lifetime. This is especially true now, as we near the end of civilization as we know it.  (more)

We have entered a period of epistemological chaos. The true condition of our world, indeed the very nature of our phenomenal reality, including agreement regarding the meaning of knowledge itself, is completely up for grabs. This has led to the rise of a new and unprecedented kind of discourse, which can be categorized as psychotic knowledge. (more)
