Reflections in a Petri Dish — March 7, 2023
Dog Poet Transmitting…….
Every one of us is like a giant office building. The average human body has around 30 trillion cells. So… maybe an office building is a severe underestimation, since a billion is a thousand million, and a trillion is a thousand billion.
Every one of those cells is alive and is also specialized. Every one of those cells lives in a specialized subset of a system, and they all have to get along. Otherwise, they go to war. That is what cancer is. It is warfare that starts in a system and could… theoretically engulf the whole body. Usually… it dies before that happens
The body is filled with superhighways and smaller routes… going out and coming back in. What would you say is the most important quality a body can possess? That would have to be Harmony.
The World too is a body. The same things happen in The World that happens in a body. What would be the most important quality that could exist in The World? That would have to be Harmony too. The same applies to a solar system, a galaxy, and a universe. The word universe seems to almost have the word Unity in it.
So… technically… you are the ruler… should be… could be… of a vast collection of systems, composed of individual components that all interact with each other in the systems where they are resident. How amusing is it that there are people who seek to rule The World around them, and yet… have no control over The World within them?
From my observations, The World external to our individual worlds, seems to go through phases of change that cycle through periods of growth and decline; up you go… down you come. The same thing happens to us. We grow to a point and then we begin to fade away. Eventually… we do fade away as if we had never been here at all.
Harmony… the most desirable element that can be resident in The External World, and The World Within… is an elusive quality; is it not? Some people seem to possess it, but most do not. Especially in these times. Why… it seems that people are falling more and more deeply into inharmonious states of being with every passing day. One of the most dramatic indications of this is that they are going crazy at an ever-increasing clip. That is the fever of Materialism.
Most of the craziness seems to emerge from only a few sources; our sense of identity… our desires… and our appetites… and mostly has to do with our lack of command over any and all of them. We are being dragged hither and yon by them, like a team of runaway horses. Most of us are trying to control these forces, BUT… most of us do not fully… or even a little bit… understand these forces. So we do not know how to control them.
When you go into periods of extreme grief… a sense of loss… a continuing state of fear and apprehension… frustration and anger… stress… any of the NEGATIVE states that can come upon a person… it is first present in your mind and emotions… and then… inevitably… it will find its way into your body… as a condition… a state of physical distress and discomfort… disease… and… and… all of which… is a symptom of disharmony.
As you sow… so shall you reap. Your body is the field that displays the fruit of your efforts. It is inevitable. It is inescapable. You have to get it right from the get-go or… you will experience the educating pain whose intention is to put you back on course… to bring you back into a state of harmony.
It all seems pointless, does it not? You arrive here, not knowing where you came from. You go through a series of changes over the course of a brief period of years, and then… you are gone, and every evidence of your having been here… eventually goes away as well. None of what you acquired materially departs with you. It stays here, and it disappears as well. What’s the point? Sooner or later, the whole world that you once knew is no longer present either.
There is nothing constant about The World except the constant cycling of changes, and suffering is everywhere, regardless of one’s station… one’s possessions… one’s abilities. Suffering finds its way in somehow because of attachments to the sources of suffering.
If Karma and Reincarnation were more widely embraced, one could see that there might be a greater purpose to all of it, but these cosmic constants are constantly veiled by… someone or something… here in The West. Even in The East where they are part of the collective perspective, they aren’t always rightly understood.
WHY ARE WE HERE? Oh… many books have been written. Countless souls have pontificated upon this enduring question. How could I hope to clarify any of it in such a short format?
I’m going to give you my simple version. Maybe I am right, and maybe I am not. Certainly, I am not going to be comprehensive.
You are here to learn to get along. That is why you are here. Once you learn to get along here, you can move to a finer world of residence. Until you do learn, you will just return here over, and over, and over again. You won’t be permitted to move to a higher plane of existence until you do.
You have acquired debts from previous inharmonious behavior. Acquiring spiritual wisdom acts like a fire upon your obligations and burns them up. This is a VERY IMPORTANT detail. Get Wisdom at any cost!!! As Guru Bawa once said. “Steal it if you have to.”
Existence moves on a spiral, and Harmony is the key to being upwardly mobile. Love is the fuel that feeds the engines of your progress. First of all… you have to get along with yourself. You have to learn to bring all of your interior systems into accord with one another. Then you will radiate this to the World around you. You will come to the attention of agents from higher planes of existence and they will shepherd you there.
It’s quite simple. This world is managed chaos… maintained in that state by runaway appetite and desire. Stop Wanting!!! That is key. Start Loving!!! That is key. Act Harmoniously!!! That is key. Finally… serve as you go. Everyone in the higher planes of existence does this or they don’t stay there, and they certainly do not move to even higher planes of existence, and I can tell you with real conviction that there are more stages of being above where you presently reside than you can possibly imagine.
Everyone does not want to do this. Those who do… look like fools to the snatch-and-grab armies that live here. Some are quite content to remain here and never move on. Well… I shouldn’t put it that way. No one is content who lives here without Harmony.
There is a music that is generated by the planets passing one another in space. You must learn to dance harmoniously to it because the music is always changing and you have to adapt. Adaptation is the key to The Operation of The Sun. This music is heard internally… once the cacophony of The World subsides. You come into resonance. You come into Harmony.
The World as we know it does not move in harmony with this music… not at this level of existence. As Boehme said, “you must… in all things… move contrary to The World.” This you accomplish WITHOUT coming into conflict with it. When you don’t want anything, you don’t get in anyone’s way. When you don’t want anything that is here, both Peace and Sanctuary come of their own accord.
Tomorrow we will explore more deeply… the utter simplicity of the whole affair.

I know that sometimes the links are disturbing. They are indications of Trends and Patterns that one… if they are of the intention to remain sane… should avoid at every turn.

Therefore this world isn’t a ‘barely managed chaos’ at all. It’s a fine-tuned karmic wonderland with everyone receiving according to his needs and deeds on a journey that none remember embarking upon to an alleged destination of which nobody has a clue. Which makes all accusations of ‘disharmony’ and ‘cacaphony’ a flippant and short-sighted slight of the fine-tuned music of the spheres grinding and guiding each and every one to his place in the sun.
Very well said les visibles. Wexare reaching a point when people will need to decide which path to take. More citizens of this world should take note and understand they plough their own furrows and their ‘success’ is determined by their harmonious interaction with all living creatures – that includes animals snd plants.
