These are interesting times. Never before have there been so many channels with claims of direct contact with ascended masters. Pending the release of the film version of the Da Vinci code, there are all these e-mails asking people to take “on-line DNA” tests to determine if they are descendents of Jesus and Mary. 99th generation. (riding on the coat-tails of the Da Vinci code, of course).
Rome is in a snit, but it is all so artificial. So scripted, orchestrated. Like 9/11. The conflict between Rome and the Da Vinci code is manufactured, structured, planned, timed.
Never before in human history has so much bull-shit floated through so much of our patch of the time-space continuum. "Dearest Ones, Beloved Lightworkers, you are close to Ascension", and so on and so forth. What’s with this mass psychosis? There’s a bunch here in South Africa trying to lure people into their cult under the cover of helping “AIDS babies”. Nice hook. Catching plenty fish. South Africans tend to be mostly uncritical, and ill-equipped to evaluate the bull-shit that is floating around, so many just swallow it. Especially as so many are vulnerable – it’s a time of rage and despair, violent crime, riots – same as many other countries, in fact. It has been officially been called the “Age of Hope” for South Africa, but on the ground, it is the complete opposite. So many people I know are in despair. Things falling apart. Back to Chinua Achebe.
It certainly feels like we’re in some sort of end time. Hence the prevalence of false prophets, confusing everyone. Why the sudden urge to lure people into their collective psychoses, I wonder? Could it be that June 6, 2006 is coming up? Launch of the movie the Beast, and so on? Predictions of earthquakes, tsunamis, economic collapse abound. Worse than the millenium hysteria that we recently went through. And that too, was based on an artificial construct.
Why are we not collectively focused on *solving* the problems? Why do we not pool our collective human intelligence on developing earth-friendly energy, on solving poverty? How is it that our political systems mostly end up attracting the least fit to lead, the most greedy, the most short-sighted, those who care the least about their fellow humans, animals, and the planet as whole? Why are South Africans in such a state of rage and anger, why is the violence so utterly vicious and extreme here? And do we REALLY think, “Dearest Lightworkers, sooooon, all will be well, and the New World will arrive, and Weeeeeeeeeeeee will make you feel so much better………….” will fix it all??? When the HELL are we going to take personal responsibility??????
Sigh. Some days, it all really gets to one........ More >

This is the idea. One makes a list of 101 things to do over 1001 days. Things to do that are realistic, but also stretching. I.e. something you want to do, or that would be fun to do, but which you wouldn't necessarily get around to doing otherwise. Carving an ice sculpture, skinny dipping in the Carribean, put money in random parking meters that have run out, stay up all night and finish a book, ride the metro from one end to the other. And you'll have 1001 days to finish the list, which is about 2.75 years, which is plenty of time, so one doesn't have to be stressed about it. And it might be small or big things. One chooses oneself.
Apparently a lot of people are doing this, and I think it is a cool idea. Putting on your to-do list to do senseless life-affirming things that make you feel good, and which stretch your boundaries a bit. You can find a list of people's lists in the sidebar of that page. There are people who build their blog around the progress with their list. Like 101 Things to Do.
Hm, personally I'm a bit ambivalent on making a list like that public. Not that I generally mind sharing my thoughts with the whole world, but somehow I find to-do lists more intimate. Mine would probably be more politically incorrect than my normal blog writing. But it is inspiring to see what other people want to do. More >

I'm artistic, and creative, but as such, I spend much of my waking time in a dreamworld, forgetting to say what I feel. Art/photo/poetry/music are some of the ways I've expressed my feelings.
The poem is an expression of appreciation and love for my wife.
It's hard to read, so I'll translate.
Softly, I am carressed by the rays of the summer sun
Gently, I lay my head on the grass
Tenderly, I cup the fragrant flowers in the garden
And I am reminded of you
Simple, but I do appreciate her, and hope she knows. More >

THE MAKING OF DAY
NOW... sits here suspended in a nothing of space, dancing itself around a crackling fire.
The dawning days and the yawning nights, set the rhythms of the seasons and years.
From time to time, joy and sorrow, love and hate, collide and argue, sending off their towering responses of blazing sparks.
Oceans and mountain masses, shift and change places, seeking perhaps more comfortable or pleasant dispositions.
And upon this stage of this and now, the human dramas and soap operas play out.
The quiet desperation's of the masses.
Masses whom yearn and lust perhaps for themselves and perhaps some drops of vain human glory.
The drone of traffic, a bird call, the oceans lull and a lonely wolves cry all mark this rolling saga, as it pitches to and fro alike unto the oceans form whence it was born and came.
High above, an eagle and clouds soar, observing for the moment the haphazard and silly parade.
A parade that echoes down and through the years, decades and centuries.
What are we learning? crys a fool, standing by the gutter grubbing for a crumb of bread and juice.
What have we learned? but the question is lost and reverberates into the din as good robin begins it song and a day begins anew.
Happy Easter
