The Reality of Scientific Mythology

November 23

A Rich Resource I Recommend with Enthusiasm

As science has developed is has increasingly severed itself from its mythic roots and its mythic imagination. The result is that science in one form or another has done great damage to the world, its animals, its people--all of life. Science does not admit this, but it is everywhere apparent. What is the proposed solution to the world’s problems? More of the same science. This has a touch of insanity about it, as Einstein knew.

Dr. Leslie Emery has taken on the challenge of this state of affairs and is hard at work reconnecting science to its lost mythic imagination. His website is a rich resource for delving into the depths of this problem. Few seem to realize the necessity of bringing current science into a reconnection with its rhizomic roots.

The Developing Tripod

November 22

A tripod is a strong structure. The current tripod that is being established consists of three legs: government suppression, corporate power, and political corruption. The main bulwark against government suppression is an independent judiciary, hence, the current rush to fill the courts with compromised judges. The main bulwark against corporate power is governmental regulation, hence the current dismantling of all government regulation. The main bulwark against political corruption, is an independent justice department, hence the attacks on the department and the effort to eliminate “independence.” So far, the Mueller investigation has not been compromised.

All tripods are for a purpose. A tripod holds the camera. A tripod enables one to milk the cow. The developing tripod has not yet been fully established and may yet be stopped. But it has a definite purpose. That purpose is in plain sight.

THE ZYZggMLY COUNCIL

November 18

The ZYZggMLY Council

You’ve not heard of the ZYZggMLY Council.
Nor had I until last night’s dream. It won’t
make the headlines, but consider it news.
Don’t bother to Googleit, you won’t find it.
Here’s what I’ve learned so far, just today.
The Council has little use for humans
but on occasion the Council votes to probe
to see if anything has changed among humans.
I was told to focus on the little g’s until
my brain begins to flicker, and, yes, they
quoted this description of contact as AE
had described it. So, they know stuff. As
I focused and my brain flickered, I began
to see it and it was an opening, a space
in the fog of my flickering brain. I was told
it was the portal to the Library of the Not Yet.
I could see volumes that one might call books
but these were as if composed of dancing light.
And there was a complexity of sound one might
call music and yet it was so much more.
“Enough for now,” a whisper informed.
Tomorrow, I will focus again on the little g’s.

TELL ME

October 28

Have you not imagined yourself
the far bank of a fast-flowing stream?
A purple gazelle flying over train tracks
traversed by ungainly tawny lizards?
One of the hobos gathering around
the fire barrel rubbing shoeless feet?

No? Then consider this:

Your dreams provide what’s necessary
to ignite the story engine of your imagination.
It’s not you generating these odd images and
the inchoate story lines awaiting your tending.
It’s something other, something else, something
beyond reckoning, even beyond money’s grasp.

Dim and Wit

October 25

Dim and Wit were beside themselves

Their Velcro tether had come undone

Dim had no clue as to why and wherefore

Wit waited for something clever to say

 

The unbinding of Dim and Wit

Had consequences no one foresaw

 

Dim’s cluelessness spread far and wide

From the highest provinces of power

To the lowest geographies of habitation

 

Wit’s waiting for something clever

Has not yet been rewarded or answered

The muteness spreads throughout the land

 

Virally. An end no one had expected

Parasitic Poison

October 21

Parasitic Poison

Parasitic poison spills down from the top

infecting everything, infecting everyone.

There is no escape, no refuge, no safe harbor.

You, me, and others believe we are resistant,

immune, protected—a most dangerous belief.

 

The axioma of truth has been raped and broken;

these crimes against life and love become virtues.

Who would have imagined this second coming,

coming in this way, in this form, in this style?

Yeats, that’s who, who saw, who saw, who saw.

 

The beast slouching toward everywhere gives rise

to hope for some and despair for many and passionate

intensity among the worst. Yes, things are falling apart.

There is no center to hold. While awaiting the revelation

of the falcon or of something else not yet revealed

 

—look to dreams

Kandinsky’s Dot Meets the Red Queen

October 12

Kandinsky’s Dot Meets the Red Queen

                 Everything starts from a dot —Kandinsky

Dot. Everything starts with me.

Red Queen. Even your end, I should think,
which may be sooner than you think,
if I’ve anything to do with it.

Dot. You’ve no right to threaten me!

Red Queen. Right? Right! Left to my own devices,
of which I‘ve many, then no more dot.
No dot. No starting. Just ending. My favorite!

Dot. You can’t be serious.

Red Queen. Well I can be anything I want, even a dot!

Dot. I don’t see how that’s possible.

Red Queen. No fun only seeing the possible. The impossible
is so much more interesting.

Dot. That’s nonsense.

Red Queen. Of course! Everything starts from nonsense you know.
You might say, but I will say, nonsense is a dot.
