Limited understanding
While I try to make sense of the physical world, I always have the following in mind to turn to.
There are only two orders of thought. One deals with desire and the other deals with sharing.
Each grows as you feed it with your actions. One takes you into a world of insatiable appetites with pain and suffering as its reward. The other brings joy and peace with each new experience bringing a future undisturbed, without a trace of sorrow and with joy that constantly increases. The one that wins is the one you feed the most. The key to happiness is to recognize each as it is used.
The two orders of thought can be cauterized into two thought systems. The one housing desire is the constructed thought system dealing with the physical world of illusion. The other is the inherent thought system that deals with the real world and its transcendental communication with spirit. Spirit of each cell reacts the same way to every thing it knows is true and does not respond at all to anything else.
An example of the toe systems of thought is a simple ode. “Who can see the wind? Neither you nor I. but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by,” The constructed thought system sees the trees being forced into submission by the energy of the wind against the resistance of the trees. The inherent thought system sees the trees bowing out of love and respect for the wind. Which system do you use the most?
The ancient early Americans living in Central and South America organized a simple calendar based on some of the lights they saw in the sky. They divided the yearly travel of the Earth around the sun into 18 months with 20 days each. The Moon and Sun were obvious gods. The last 5 days were left to the gods of Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. These planets were accepted as gods because these lights traveled into and were eaten by the Sun. The Sun gave them up as they moved beyond the Sun. Then they turned around traveling backward to the Sun once again to be eaten and given up by the Sun, moving beyond and turning around for the last time going though the same procedure to be eaten by the Sun and disgorged to travel on into the covering light of day. the light of Mercury could be seen 20 days, coming and going, on each side of the sun. These lights represented death and destruction at various times and when they all congregated in that small window of darkness after sun set and before dawn, the world went crazy. This took 52 years to return and for the early Americans it would be a new life for them. In order to sustain the new life they organized a ritual of death and destruction to appease their gods. Simplistic? Maybe, but the facts are still there, not to be ignored. Masses of people can be led by nonsense.
