My heart is moved by all I cannot save:

so much has been destroyed

I have to cast my lot with those

who age after age, perversely,

with no extraordinary power,

reconstitute the world.

—Adrienne Rich, “Natural Resources,” 1977

Cosmic Harmony - The State of Enlightenment

"The Universe has been called the Cosmic Form of the Divine.

All the beings you see here are manifestations of the Cosmic Form.

This means that all are inherently Divine."

What is enlightenment?

What is that state of Cosmic Consciousness, the ultimate awareness called variously - enlightenment, nirvana, satori, samadhi, self-realization, RAPTURE, salvation, ascension, unity consciousness, voidness, and many other terms by many various religions?

It is the goal of life, the ultimate destination of every individualized being. It is brought about when the individual personality ascends beyond the illusionary perception of self separateness to merge in the Universal Self from which it originated so very long ago.

Spiritual evolution towards this goal takes place over ages but the final ascent of Spirit can happen in an instant of time.

“Time is in the mind, space is in the mind. The law of cause and effect is also a way of thinking. In reality all is here and now and all is one. Multiplicity and diversity are in the mind only.” — Nisargadatta Maharaj

“Wisdom is the greatest key to happiness

The laws of the Godly Earth must be respected

The big words of arrogant men

will soon some crashing down on them

Wisdom will finally rise”

Sophocles, Antigone, 441BC

Everything that can be put into words is merely a story, silence is the highest form of truth.

“We must invest our energy into organizing mass movements to overthrow the corporate state through sustained acts of mass civil disobedience. This includes the most powerful weapon we possess – the strike. By turning our ire on the corporate state, we name the true sources of power and abuse. We expose the absurdity of blaming our demise on demonized groups such as undocumented workers, Muslims or Blacks. We give people an alternative to a corporate-indentured Democratic Party that cannot be rehabilitated. We make possible the restoration of an open society, one that serves the common good rather than corporate profit. We must demand nothing less than full employment, guaranteed minimum incomes, universal health insurance, free education at all levels, robust protection of the natural world and an end to militarism and imperialism. We must create the possibility for a life of dignity, purpose and self-esteem. If we do not, it will ensure a Christianized fascism and ultimately, with the accelerating ecocide, our obliteration.”
