The way my mind works; one thing generally causes me to think of another thing. That might be the key to human invention or it might be the nature of the mind itself and I might actually be the guy reading this or Santa\u2019s little elf. I\u2019m glad we cleared that up. We\u2019re just here to clean up the mess\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Over at that tired, \u201cI\u2019m sorry I shit in my pants; someone must have put it there while I was sleeping\u201d forum which I use as an example of, \u201cthey went that way\u201d misleading genre it continues to be true that, you couldn\u2019t see the truth if it came up and kissed you on the cheek or anything else.<\/p>\n<p>And the statistical possibility that Paul Wolfowitz would have been the head of The World Bank and that his girlfriend was actually Ann Coulter who used to be a man; serving to muddy the waters here probably doesn\u2019t matter either but I digress.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that I might not know a Khazar from a <a href=\"http:\/\/iowaindependent.com\/10658\/99-and-counting-more-charges-filed-against-rubashkin\">kosher meat factory<\/a> isn\u2019t important and I can\u2019t tell you how many Michael Milken\u2019s can dance on the head of an Ivan Bosky or whether Jack Abramoff and Bernie Madoff were Siamese twins. What makes me wonder is that the same kind of chicken is dancing on a griddle in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihr.org\/books\/leuchter\/leuchter.toc.html\">Holocaustlandia<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.antiwar.com\/justin\/j030802.html\">it just doesn\u2019t seem to want to stop<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>I guess that should do it for the frame of the picture. Now what do I say? Some people are aware of these things and some people are not and most people don\u2019t care. If anything concerns me it is the fact that most people don\u2019t care and that might be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qatarliving.com\/node\/300885\">connected to this<\/a> or it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rense.com\/general38\/brits.htm\">could be connected to this<\/a>. By this time you should probably be pretty tired of reading all of these things so we\u2019ll just <a href=\"http:\/\/www.controversyofzion.info\/\">drop a free book in your lap<\/a> and we can do lunch some time next year, if there is one.<\/p>\n<p>The worst thing about wearing a tin foil hat is that it makes your head itch and your teeth sing. For some people it\u2019s like being caught between a rock and a hard on. For me it\u2019s more like somebody else can\u2019t find my ass with both hands and which is probably what makes me Les Visible and I like that okay.<\/p>\n<p>I guess you can see that there is a problem of some sort here and that the problem would only be that bad things are happening because of it which is what makes it a problem in the first place and what also makes it a Zen koan and why I keep getting hit in the back of the head with a bamboo stave\u2026 grasshopper.<\/p>\n<p>Since everything is too fantastic to believe I have decided that someone out there is going to give me one million dollars so that I can buy a particular house in Hawaii and just go on doing what I\u2019m doing. You\u2019re probably reading this right now and I expect you will know how to find me. Given what\u2019s going on, a million dollars isn\u2019t much at all so let your conscience be your guide.<\/p>\n<p>Friends, Romans and book agents lend me your ears; I think we can make a lot of money when we open this Chinese laundry.<\/p>\n<p>My love is a burning hot ember somewhere in the hidden kingdoms of my heart. I suppose it has to burn up all of the world\u2019s garbage before it becomes the one true flame that reveals the face of my beloved. I have been hard at work on it. I have been building the pearl around the irritation of that grain of sand in my shell. I have had a peek behind the curtains into Heaven and Hell. They\u2019re both in operation in real time as you are reading these words.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhere in my mind I am body surfing the splendid combers at Slaughterhouse Beach. If I could, I would have the whole world ride that wave with me until we landed up spent, exhausted and serene upon the glimmering sand. I\u2019m not going to stop until it happens. If I get there first I\u2019m going to do it for you and if you get there first I hope you will remember me by the sea of Galilee and in the devastation of Gaza and upon the shores of Tripoli.<\/p>\n<p>Every one of us must find inside of ourselves a better understanding of how to let the chains fall away from our endless efforts to drive those tired oxen up that slippery hill. That may be a kind of surfing but it is not the one I have in mind for me and for you.<\/p>\n<p>You know that I am a fan of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevenusproject.com\/\">Jacque Fresco<\/a> and think the world a better place for him being here. I wish for all of us that we could find a better world in our hearts\u2026 whatever may lie hereafter besides. The present is where anything starts.<\/p>\n<p>I want you to come with me my friends\u2026 into my heart\u2026 into our mind\u2026 into what has always been possible and keeps getting left behind or seemingly, impossibly up ahead beyond the sliding oxen and the carnage and the dead. It feels like something in a book somewhere. It feels like something I read when I was a child. I believe it must be true.<\/p>\n<p>So, I am going to keep working on that and I hope that you will too.<\/p>\n<p>We are rising up now as into the dawning of the age just the same way that you turn the page and it is being written every moment we are here. We are writing it. It is being written on us; by us, for us, against us, because of us, in spite of us, without us or I don\u2019t know\u2026 it just goes on.<\/p>\n<p>I am hoping we can help those oxen up that hill and maybe let all the baggage slide below and somehow we will come on down into the welcoming light of the fireside hearth.<\/p>\n<p>However we manage to sort and arrange these things in order to accomplish what must be, I hope we do it with as much grace and mercy as we have to give.<br \/>\nI\u2019m not saying that I am tired. I am not tired because I am not what carries me; speaking of footprints in the sand.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s find that extra whatever it has to be so that we can cross the ridge and we are free.<\/p>\n<p>And so forth and so on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundclick.com\/bands\/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=33200&#038;songID=2296094\">God\u2019s Not Dead<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundclick.com\/bands\/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=33200&#038;songID=550576\">Every Day<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">Original source: http:\/\/smokingmirrors.blogspot.com\/2009\/02\/bank-loans-connected-to-zen-koan.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026the way the hip bone is connected to the knee bone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":124,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/124"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10246\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
