the EGO....the more you Read

The more you read,
the more knowledge you gain.
And who profits by this?
The ego,
every book that you read gives you more intelligence.
Who has intelligence?
The ego,
every time you think you have to meditate,
it is the ego that is meditating.
Does the Self have to meditate?
Does reality have to meditate on reality?
All of the gurus you've seen,
everything that you've done has actually put you back in time,
not forward but back".
* * *
Just think how much knowledge
you've gathered all these years.
Reading so many books.
Meditating for years.
Seeing so many teachers.
Having so many discussions, debates, arguments.
Can't you see now this is what's been holding you back?
This is what has been holding you back.
For you have believed that you're the knower.
For you have to become a knower to become free.
Yet no one has to know
anything for there is absolutely nothing to know.
Why is there nothing to know?
Because there is only omnipresence, infinity,
absolute reality and there is no name for this.
~ Robert Adams

After the Science Wars What is a Thought Experiment, Anyhow? Chaos & An Unpredictable Tomorrow Peter Saltzstein  finds that Chaos Theory yields unexpected philosophical results. The future is not what it used to be. I mean, an intriguing implication of the branch of mathematics called  chaos theory  is that the future states of complex dynamical systems such as the weather, the human brain, the stock market, evolution, and history itself, are not what we once thought them to be. Specifically, chaos theory suggests that the behavior of complex systems can f

Note: Never have I gotten so many comments and emails in response to a blog post, much less rumors that I’m a man. I’ll keep that in mind. And for the record, it wasn’t until 2014 that I had the opportunity to put a man’s intact penis in my very much female vagina. This frictionless appendage made me realize that sex doesn’t have to be painful or cause hazardous inflammation. And with that image in your mind… I was nineteen or twenty years old when a male friend of mine, we’ll call him B
