Musings of the Day

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear, Dune Betrayal What do you mean I can't trust anyone? Why do I have to keep things to myself forever more? How is it no one takes care of their own house Before going in to someone else's Now I must find my own path Now I must rely on my own choices To guide myself through the darkness For fear of being betrayed again The pain is there So is the fear Why can't I bring anyone near my heart? They claim to understand But all they want is to control To insinuate and regulate Now I must find my own path Now I must rely on my own choices To guide myself through the darkness For fear of being betrayed again I thought I had left the darkness Finally to break free of this haunting night Funny when I stopped to smell the roses All that crap came back to me Now I must find my own path Now I must rely on my own choices To guide myself through the darkness For fear of being betrayed again Why have you betrayed me? Was I not good enough? Or strong enough It seems I was convenient enough Or is it you who is betrayed Now I must find my own path Now I must rely on my own choices To guide myself through the darkness For fear of being betrayed again * Do not be quick to reveal judgment. Hidden judgment often is more potent. It can guide reactions whose effects are felt only when too late to divert them. * There's no secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves. Darwi Odrade, Chapterhouse: Dune * We witness a passing phrase of eternity. Important things happen but some people never notice. Accidents intervene. You are not present at episodes. You depend on reports. And people shutter their minds. What good are reports? History in a news account? Preselected at an editorial conference, digested and excreted by prejudice? Accounts you need seldom come from those who make history. Diaries, memoirs and autobiographies are subjective forms of special pleading. Archives are crammed with such suspect stuff Darwi Odrade, Chapterhouse: Dune * If you believe certain words, you believe their hidden arguments. When you believe something is right or wrong, true of flase, you believe the assumptions in the words which express the arguments. Such assumptions are often full of holes, but remain most precious to the convinced. The Open-Ended Proof from The Panoplia Prophetica ,Children of Dune # There's no secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves. Darwi Odrade, Chapterhouse: Dune (0) Comments

Troubled

My mind has gone and left me troubled I have found a friendly shore There is peace and quiet And lots of friendly people And they say I'm not a bore My sprit has gone and left me troubled My will has fled the scene Tho the smiles are warm And generous too I still feel they may mean me harm My body has gone and left me troubled My joints and muscles ache The trip through darkness has taken its toll Right now, I feel so cold But soon I may feel whole (0) Comments

Who Am I?

Who am I? Where am I? How did I get to this place? Where everything is neither black nor white, But varying shades of gray and other colors. Why am I, wondering about this when I am so busy with 'other' things? How can I think about this now? Why do I? Did the universe decide to allow me divine access to this information, and why now? Who Am I and where am I going? I am Inolas and I light the path that leads to the knowledge of our forefathers. Do you choose to follow? (0) Comments

Hero

We all have a hero... The hero is the one who shelters us when we are afraid they shield us from most harm they're almost always there.... except when we need them the most... until you look in the mirror and there you find the best hero ever... Ourselves (0) Comments

Journeys

The journeys we take are for a reason...whether we realize it or not they have a beginning and middle and end but we never really know when or where we are. We only know that our main journey started when we attained cognizance of who we are at that moment. We want to believe that we are in control of our lives and our surroundings, that we are masters of our domain. But we are not nor will be masters of this world. We are merely caretakers and co-habitants here. We have a 'divine' purpose that compels us to act within and without malice to assist Gaia and heal that rift between us and nature. We have done a great disservice to our home and we can no longer allow it to continue. To continually pursue a 'mastery' of something that we can never 'control' is pure folly and will lead to further ecological disasters. We have lost touch with reality. We have lost our way. Gaia is calling to us but we do not hear. The winds are reaching for us but we don’t feel them. The trees are quivering, but we don't see them. The animals are running away, and we don't care. We need to care or it will be too late. There is not much time left. We need to choose. Renew ourselves with our Earth or try to 'master'it. Think about it. Now (0) Comments
