Catastrophic events…a Nature’s standard solution to evolution?

I just saw a report in the news about the rising and prosperity of an african country so well known by its past holocaust: Rwanda.

In the mid 90’s, Rwanda and its neighbor Burundi were shaken by terrible events of genocide: hundreds of thousand people from Tutsi and Hutu tribes were killed in years of a cruel civil war. It has been probably the most criminal war event since WWII, but as it happened in the core of a forgotten continent, Africa, looked like nobody cared at all.

Now Rwanda has a rising economy, a full new generation of young people working on build a new country with hopes in the future, and no more fighting, by the moment. One of the most promising countries in eastern Africa.

That brings a terrible word to my mind: Reset. Do some societies need some kind of “reset” in order to evolve?. What happens when a system gets into the bounds of a demographic, social, ecological collapse? Is a massive extinction, a catastrophic event the standard solution that nature provides in order to restablish a sustainable equilibrium that allows the whole thing to keep evolving?

Are we humans prepared to avoid these events and do something before it’s too late and most of us are likely to be killed by some war or catastrophe?

Life is constant rebirth, although all the struggle has to face. But rebirth implies a previous kill. Let’s think about that…

Drugs are good!… or not?

You’d probably have heard since you were a child that drugs are a bad thing and you’d better stay away from them.

Since I agree with this assertion, and I think it is quite useful that all adult people hold this opinion in order to grow our kids as healthy as we can, I won’t deny that drugs are not a good thing. But, once you have reached an age where you escaped from the temptation of becoming a junkie… It’s time to loose our fears on drugs as they just were a monster coming from the woods and look at them as what they really are: just Brain Chemistry.

I admit it: I’ve never taken any drug. I mean, illegal ones. In other words, I’ve never played with my Brain Chemistry (BC) in a hard way. To get partially drunk it’s just one stage most of us never go beyond.

Then, there are some people that really wants to go a step farther, and gets involved in alternative worlds like hippie communities, trance music raves, etc. where another kind of substances are consumed regularly, like natural mushrooms or LSD (whose molecule is shown in the picture). When you talk with people they are experienced LSD consumers, it’s so easy to get astonished by the things they tell you,even the way they do, the words they use, and the worlds they describe. For the ones of us who are interested in open our minds to new perceptions; it’s definitively a temptation and one thinks to give it a try.

But, as many other things in this life, it’s possible to reach the same point through several different paths. And the fact that I lately have become more close to trance music it’s not because I decided to take in psichodelic drugs (that I don’t). It’s the fact that I discovered I am experiencing the same emotions, the same awareness, and at last the same whole experience by probably triggering the same chemical reactions in my brain with no external help of weird substances.

In other words, I generate my own drugs that take me sometimes to similar mind states of those ones who just decided to take the direct path using LSD and others… Human Brain is an intrincate labyrinth with lots of walls and ends that may be pulled down in order to expand our mind and reveal new realities (as long as reality is whatever our mind perceives). Drugs make it easy to do that job, though it’s dangerous because of unexpected side effects you cannot control.

There’s a softer, slower way to open your mind without the need of any drug. Just exercise it. Just live. It’s kind of what Zen monks use to do, but with heavier practices. At the end, both the LSD junkie and you would have seen the same Oceans of Blissful Awareness. The difference is that you don’t spend your life in weird hippie camp partying with some other marginal guys that only seek for drugs to forget their daily problems. In other words, you’re one of them but with the aspect of a regular, “good” citizen…

Some laugh…

Waves of the soft spring wind

Love's flood tide is rising full 

The moon of love is rising full

Sea of beauty.
The moon of love is rising full

Love's flood tide.
Some laugh, some weep, some dance for joy.

My mind craves nectar day and night.
Like a blue lotus floating on the sea of love.
Lingering in ashantically
Lingering in the akashic realms

Lingering in the realms.
Blue lotus floats, floating, floating..

Some laugh, some weep, some dance for joy.

My mind craves nectar day and night.

Global Warming… killing who??

All the time we hear in the News about Global Warming… Climate change, and so on… we often see people saying that humans are “killing the planet”, and we may be against “Climate Change”.

And what I say is: “Does Climate Change we are angry about him??”. I mean, it’s wrong to claim that we are killing the Earth or something. Planet Earth has undergone a lot of catastrophic climate changes and it will be existing a long time past our specie even.

The atmosphere will evolve to a different composition and behavior. It’s just if humans will be able to survive to this new environtment that matters. And think that if planet gets warmer, energy consumption due to heating needs will drop dramatically, that will lead to less CO2 in the atmosphere, that turns into less global warming. That looks like a self-regulating system, doesn’t it?

I just don’t want to justify passive attitudes in front of contamination and fight the Climate Change, I just want make you more aware about all the effects and connections this subject is filled of, and try to run away from simple points of view…

When you are damaged…

Some days, your brain gets injured, and you can even feel how it’s dying, how those connections that took so much time to get linked are shattered, the sensation is close to a buzz in you head. But there’s of course an aftermath of sorrow and calm, deep frustration.

The other day I saw printed somewhere: “The crisis of today are the jokes of tomorrow”. Let’s hope so…

Upon the Sea of Blissful Awareness

Some time ago, I dreamt about a place quite similar to the one you can see below. It was such a strange but reallistic dream I still remember it so fine. I was climbing high, rocky, snowy cliffs, very difficult to reach to the top.

Once on the top, there was a surprise: just beyond the summit, there was a lake, kind of Sea of Blissful Awareness, the water was light green, and there was a small wooden house in the shoreline. The sky was similar to the one in the picture, actually the environment looked cold, freezing.

But anyway I tried to put my clothes off and get into that sea, carefully. The water was a bit warm and the sensation was so comfortable. It was like that sea provided me with a peaceful sensation I never had in my life, something mystical.

The experience of being in that sea was also increasing my awareness about everything…

Sometimes the best experiences in your life come while you’re sleeping.

Scenes of the World

Using Google Maps, I spend some of my time just “travelling” around the globe looking for “spots”. Like many people already does I guess. I just wanted to share with all of you the pictures I just captured from places I don’t certainly know their exact names, but I’d like to travel some day, and some other real known ones.
