All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

OOPS

Hi David,

Let me try it again. You quoted:

>>> These bacteria (snip) continue to support your life by their

biological role in your intestines. Without them, along with some 40

other species of bacteria, with a combined *weight of your brain*,

you would degenerate and die. <<<

Ah those fantastic gut feelings we sometimes have!

Clarity of mind and freedom of will may very well reside in the gut.

(I am serious actually, I am not kidding.)

The brain, with all it's weight, may not have much to do with mental

freedom and clarity.

You do know that the brain is all cholesterol, don't you?

All good cholesterol I expect... there in that brain..., let's give it the benefit of the doubt.

But could it be, that obfuscation and confusion thrive on fatty brain cells,

while freedom of movement (if only bowel movement :-) is facilitated by bacteria?

See? We really are all universes of intelligences

working toward a better future.

Now, if we could just learn to live in harmony with our own inner natures...

Our own inner biospheres

And treat our own symbiotes with respect...

I always think of them as the voting population of the empire that I represent.

Love,

Bobo

If you haven't figured it out by now, Michael Colgan has been somewhat

of a 'Ramana' to me

when it comes to merging science, integrity & genius. I'm happy

to share this clip from this

inspiring human-being, that so-well expresses Interconnectivity in

a most profound fasion...

Love,

David

 

Dr. Michael Colgan (as stolen from 'The New Nutrition')

In the middle of the morning,

on the second day of Creation,

in the Archean era 400 million years ago,

a miraculous combination of gases produced a few simple bacteria.

My late mentor, Nobel Laureate physicist, Dick Feynman,

convinced me it could not have been a random event.

As a scientist, the best way I can describe it is this...

A hand of intelligence reached into the chaos

and the precise order of life was born.

At that time, the atmosphere of the Earth was 98% carbon dioxide

plus a little methane and nitrogen.

There was almost no oxygen.

The Archean bacteria began to "breathe" the carbon dioxide

and produce oxygen as a waste product, as plants still do today.

They multiplied across the face of the Earth.

Over countless millennia, the carbon dioxide dwindled to its present

fraction of 1%,

and the atmosphere grew oxygen rich to its present 21%.

This new abundance of oxygen made possible human life,

but it poisoned the atmosphere for the bacteria that made it.

They had to seek refuge in environments that are oxygen free.

Today their progeny live on

in the airless slime of river mud,

and in the darkest recesses of the human gut.

These bacteria,

that eons ago laid the ground work for the creation of man,

continue to support your life by their biological role

in your intestines.

Without them,

along with some 40 other species of bacteria,

with a combined weight of your brain,

you would degenerate and die.

This prime example of our dependence on ancient creatures

underlines the precision of the design that binds together all life

upon the Earth.
