        I’m an ideological Libertarian. If we denounce and decry opposing agendas like the anarchists or the communists, everyone’s going to question our motives somewhere down the historical line, thinking, “why? Is it possible that the side we’re on is actually an oppressive state, and are persecuting the others for fear that this new TRUE WAY might overtake our presently obsolete ideology?”         Opposing views should serve to solidify our own. That’s the power of the dialectic. I say let the anarchists and everyone else practice freely - as they also should for us – and the ultimate way will naturally show out in the wash. Freedom to practice ideals takes our meddlesome human contrivance out of the picture and leaves it up to Nature to separate the wheat from the chaff in order that the Ultimate way might manifest and reveal itself, rather than that which is perceived to be the ultimate way by a select snowblinded few.         Man is foolish to attempt controlling policy from without. What fear is there for burgeoning movements when we feel we’re on the “right side?” What about faith? Even if all sides are not the “ultimate way” (which will likely be the case), at least if everyone has faith in fairness then we can deal with our policy with the clear, pure insight of honesty and due-course.         I say if you’re afraid to let opposing voices speak than the isle you’re standing on is probably crumbling beneath you.

As I’ve said, “by cutting out the multitudinous tongues, our one tongue can savor the sweetness of the present moment.” Why waste the glory of the present by focusing on the future, and thereby missing it as it comes along? There will be time to reflect on one’s duties and aspirations after practice. BE HERE NOW.

         Reality is that which doesn’t change. The only unchanging constant, the only “reality,” is the eternal observer at the center of the cosmic wheel’s spokes, Krishna, the unmanifested one out of which the manifested many comes. Reality is; but Krishna consciousness, our “Mother consciousness” or “Divine mother,” is the basest fabric of this is-ness, and the only unchanging aspect of this glimmering marvel of a world the cent. Krishna is the central “whole” of it all, where we all come from.

By cutting out the body of Hercules’s hydra, its many heads are slain at the source. By cutting out the multitudinous tongues, our ONE tongue can focus and taste the sweetness of this moment. Every moment can be glorifying and blissful, for indeed “nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” It is only the over-tired, over-active mind which perceives there to be gaps in the fabric of ever-present Divine Bliss. Let’s get out of the way.

Sweet Mother Mary brings me goods from the other side She’s got the Love that keeps me stayin’ alive She took me to the brook; I had to take a look at what I’d found (refrain) Sweet Mother Mary comes like moonshine in the night She talks to me in the morning and keeps me in her sight Sweet Mother Mary kisses me like the morning wind she’s got the gold that makes my soul come around again she took me from the land; she taught me how to be just what I am (refrain) Sweet Mother Mary comes like moonshine in the night She comes to me in the evening and keeps me satisfied Sweet Mother Mary  Sweet Mother Mary Sweet Mother Mary – don’t leave me alone Sweet Mother Mary holds me like I was her only child she loves to see her little leaves runnin’ wild she took me to the sea; she taught me how to be just who I am Sweet Mother Mary Sweet Mother Mary Sweet Mother Mary…..

        Many of these ancient practices almost seem extra-ancient, as if they were something picked up on rather than ‘created’ by man. I find the AUM mantra is like that. It’s from another world. I feel that true Yogi’s aren’t even doing AUM; it’s more like the sublime AUM frequency is doing them, you know? 

Not too many know what time is truly for or how it is best spent but I will tell you. In all the realms there is no better way to spend one’s time than in Love and blissful service. Divine Love is the only action to which there is no causal opposite, and which accrues no karma. Every vibration produces an echo, and every pleasure in our dualistic reality necessarily comes with a vice; but only Love can come from Divine Love.
