All of nature is beautiful and sublime. How can you appreciate a snow flake, a drop of dew in the morning sun, moonlight on a lake, autumn leaves, or a sunset, if you cannot also appreciate the raw power, and sheer majesty of a storm? Do we enjoy the valleys

Miserable People Sow Misery:Be Compassionate To All Beings – Including Yourself Miserable people often love schadenfreude – evil joy: taking delight in other’s sufferings, failures or faults. It’s disgusting. No compassion at all. No empathy. Sheer, petty narcissism, self-centredness, stemming from a pathetic and delusional inferiority complex and hidden self-hate.

“Alan Watts – Trust the Universe”, on YouTube. Here is a brilliant talk. A bit one-sided, but the point is clear. Thou art that! Realize your true nature, as it already is! But, paradoxically, that does take effort! Then, one day, non-dual awareness dawns in the mind – and becomes,

Amigos! Stanley Cup Playoffs! (“Hockey”) 😉 Down to two teams: Canada: Edmonton Oilers Vs Panthers Panthers? Wtf? Do they even have ice? Who the fuck are they? New team, probably from the Las Vegas fucking desert, i’m guessing! Or Florida. Ya, lots of ice there! Ugh. There should be a

Here is an example, from a seemingly good-natured and honest, intelligent man, who is grasping at a big picture view, but is in reality a specialist, with no depth of understanding, at all, in several major fields of fundamental importance to such a big picture view. The video talk link

Epstein Island is the tip of the iceberg. Watch this interview, below, on the now undeniable, documented fact, that the US is now the biggest trafficker in child sex slaves in the world. This is Satanic. This is true evil. Make this viral, people – this interview, and the documentary!

Brief thoughts on the Mexican federal election, being held here today – and the plague of propaganda, which now infects the world: Mexican President Obrador, known by his initials, AMLO, leaves office with 80% popular support – making him one of the most trusted and popular political leaders on Earth.

I’ve written extensively and in depth, for decades, in two published books and over a thousand published articles, with tens of thousands of references, on the rapidly shifting state of the world, the causes and major factors and historical unfolding of these changes, what it all means and entails, and

To be brief: The obsession with quantity and volume has to end. More is not always better. Quality matters most. But people in the 21st century are addicted to endless entertainment, distraction, empty and largely useless talk, and endless amounts of “news” and commentary. Unless we step back, pause, reflect,
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: The Death Of Materialism & The Rebirth Of The World
The Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm, or world view, of atomistic, dualistic, mechanistic reductionism, is a very recent, 400 year old delusion, a recent blink of the eye, and is now crumbling as an ideology, world view or paradigm. It is also by no means “scientific”. The evidence now refutes it. It is

Let me start by saying that I speak from the libertarian left – meaning, I fiercely believe in freedom, compassion, voluntary mutual aid, decentralization, and the sovereignty of individuals, communities, and nations. (Anarchism, I would urge, but only, “when men are prepared for it”, as Thoreau said – simply a

The anti-authoritarian grassroots left and right are uniting – at last, as I’ve been urging for decades; and which is absolutely necessary, if we are to halt and reverse our current trajectory toward globalist corporate-fascism. Listen carefully to the interview with Russell Brand, from the libertarian left, talking with Tucker

(Written this morning as an open letter to a fine independent journalist) Patrick, I found you on 21st Century Wire and was very impressed. Before I listen to this TNT talk on Rumble, and get a glimpse of your focus now, or foci, I want to say what comes to

A few thoughts on the recent, very thoughtful and interesting discourse and debate, between Professors Brookes and Wolff, linked in the video below: To Professor Wolff:Bravo – brilliant crystalization. To Professor Brookes:Great respect for your human decency and moral sentiment of basic justice and compassion, certainly, but are you not

Travelling the world recently again, I am struck by the staggering ignorance among the great majority of people in the world, as to what Canada is like today. All of them, with rare exceptions, seem to think this is 1974. They think of Canada as a rich, First World country,

Trump did little good in his first term as US President, and much that was bad – but he didn’t turn the US into a fascist police state: Cheney, Obama and Biden did that. I am no Trump supporter, but the establishment political elite of the two dominant US parties

In terms of social movements, the Left is dead, for the time being, at least in the formerly industrialized, formerly “leading”, “developed”, First World nations of the (North-) West. The reason it is dead, is because it has been seduced into supporting authoritarianism, and has thereby been co-opted by the

Larning more about the nature and history of money, we eventually realize that money is simply a promissary note, valuable only because we agree it is valuable, a useful social fiction, or token system, useful for exchange of real goods or services, or possibly for savings (minus inflation, hyper-inflation and
