Default Re: Lost Perspective

Once there was a clever musician who wrote:

"Information is not knowledge
Knowledge is not Wisdom
Wisdom is not Truth
...Music is the best!"

The information out there is thus not the sole parameter here, but how you handle the information. Let me change that: EXFORMATION is what is interesting; that is - the information you throw away is really what counts.
Information is not as important nor interesting as the war for the minds. Making minds sleep on or waking them up is not about information, but about engagement.
In order to dare to become engaged in the wakening-up process, on the behalf of your neighbour or friend, you really need to feel the support of your equally awakened fellows. Their love and best wishes. Similar engagement. Feedback on the platform of respect.
Rambo had to fight alone and he would die alone doing it (in the excellent novel, mind you , not the stupid films). Let the war mongers die, but let us become warriors of a community. Warriors of positiveness, of love, hope and without the restrictions of conservative thinking. Let us bless ourselves and not await some external force to bless us. Become our own prophets. And if/when some external force DO enter the stage: We will be prepared with open and free minds. Not cynical and main stream. Nor covardly agressive. But open and daring.

Sanity?!? We really need much, much LESS sanity of thoughts and ideas in the world right now! We need crazy and loving and free souls. Befried minds that dare to fly high and to be able to get lost - in the knowing that at least some, just as crazy, souls will be there for them to help them along. Homeward. Outward. Spaceward. Mindward. Timeward. Strangeward HO!

Read Carlos Castaneda about controlled madness and about the power of breathing.

Correct true information is what restores sanity in an insane world.
