I’ve come to sell the planet Earth
How many secrets is it worth?

Can you prove it is yours? He asked
You have dominion there at last?

My followers are everywhere.
We rule the land, the sea and air.
All now depend upon our spells
We have become their wishing wells.
I have dominion - the Earth is mine
Prepare the contract and I will sign.
Then we will go to Moon or Mars
Before we spread unto the stars
For with Your secrets we will be
The rulers of Eternity.
Beings that become so bright
The Universe shall see Our light

Don’t you ever learn a thing?
Why do you strive to rule everything?
Who would want to buy the Earth?
You’re killing it - so what’s it worth?
Go back and cure it - then we’ll see.
If you’re ready to be set free!

The prevailing theories of modern science would have us believe that the Universe began with a Big Bang.

That in the beginning something, either created from nothing or arriving from Elsewhere, ’exploded’ and so was born in chaos.

An expanding bubble of Space-time, growing in nothing and awaiting Law. Where would these Laws come from?

Evolution? A first baby learning how to become a Universe by trial and error - without direction? No!
For if there was no Law but simply chaos how then would laws arise?

Were they born with the Universe or do they stand outside Time, throughout All, so that each new Universe has instruction on how to proceed?

In either case who (or maybe what) created these Laws?

Perhaps, the Buddhists are right and the Universe is endlessly reborn. Perhaps, it too seeks Enlightenment and we are its koan :O)

Bubbles in a Sea of Existence.
Each a Universe alone.
Common laws but different values
Some collapsed but others grown
In our bubbles we are sheltered
Insulated yet joined are we
Separate but all together
Spinning in The Shining Sea

Broken? Many people are becoming broken but they don’t know how. They know they are not well but they do not know why. They have learned to convince themselves that logic should override emotion and like half Vulcan 'spocks' they imprison their hearts in walls of fear and false assumptions. They know that they are clever and good, they know what clever and good men are like. So they know themselves - this is the false assumption from which the disconnect grows. When they start to notice that sometimes they have inclinations to do illogical or ‘bad’ things they think they are going mad instead of admitting that it is human. So they lie to each other pretending to be a ‘normal’ that nobody is! Not realising that the madness was believing that they were wise and good within without ever looking within to check. So, the disconnect grows and things get worse. As the pressure builds it turns to drugs or drink - something to ease the pain for a while and let them laugh. It only makes things worse. Then since they can’t blame themselves they pin the blame on something else. Since they are clever and good it must be the people who are not clever and good who are to blame! I was on the beach the other day and a child was kicking over all the sand castles that a group of adults had built for him. One of the adults was repeating “Must destroy, must destroy…” in a Dalek-like voice. He noticed I was observing him and faltered but I could sense the same destructive impulse too. You see it everywhere - kids kicking at the seagulls, throwing stones at the ducks, smashing things for the hell of it. It’s nothing new it is similar to a much stronger, more aggressive, version of the teenage rebel syndrome but affecting even toddlers now. Children are still in touch with their feelings, they haven’t yet learned to pretend to be icebergs. They haven’t identified with the stereo types that suggest that playing it cool is the only way to win. So they roam around having a smashing time. Most modern parents seem to convince themselves that it is simply childish exuberance and say nothing. The problem grows. A few years later that start to notice that something is wrong…
