Here's what I worry about ... our homegrown brand of loonies (the nut-job faction of dispensationalist Christian fundamentalists; those with a yen for Muslim blood, and waiting eagerly for the rapture) may gain enough power in the U.S. government that when their mirror image (the nut-job faction of Muslim fundamentalists) start lobbing a couple of black market nukes the situation will go out of control in short order, and we'll destroy the planet.

That will suck big time in the short term (perhaps a tad flippant, but considering the suicide of one's race is terribly depressing), but, who knows?, a couple of hundred thousand years from then whatever beings manage to stay alive and procreate will finally get this whole 'civilization' thing right.

'Persephone and the Pomegranite' is particularly intriguing. She seems to be emerging from her winter home, but I'm wondering what the three stylized star-shaped figures emanating from her left hand represent? They appear to be seeking the outer boundary where reflections of hellfire transit to stars.

The First Tenet:
Clarity of Intention

The first tenet is called Clarity of Intention, and it places the outcome of the spiritual quest directly in your own hands.

In the teaching of evolutionary enlightenment, the individual is ultimately responsible for his or her own development. You may say that you want to evolve, that you want to become liberated or enlightened, but whether or not...

Fascinating. I visited his web page and I think his writings are worth exploring. But how does evolutionary enlightenment compare to, say, ethical culture? Or even Unitarian Universalism?

ive had this old song running around in my head for days.
this phrase here:

'Cos nothing has been done that can't be done
And nothing has been sung that can't be sung
And nothing has been said so go get out and play the game
It's easy

Nothing has been named that can't be named
And no one has been saved that should have...

Artemis protects the Muses from men who lust after them and she lifts her bow and pierces the hearts of the silly men. Your a Muse from the Pantheon of the original Greek mythology.

thanks for the note....

I have, unashamedly had the worst year of my life. but it seems to be in solid recovery now, my life that is.

So a focus on the light is important at this stage..

but that darkness is quite seductive.
commonman:
Thank you. I appreciate that.
