  1. "Have a look. Whichever one you want, I'll buy it for you."
    "£2000! That's too expensive. What about this £400 one over here?"

    Mother told us to go to one of the more expensive shops in the area, then complained about the price.
    The one she suggested would likely break within a year, whereas the one we chose had a 10 year guarantee.

    “For peace activists across NATO countries, those contradictions only reinforce what they have argued for decades: Europe needs a new security architecture based on diplomacy, arms control, common security, and cooperation, while the United States needs a foreign policy that relies on diplomacy rather than militarism. For them, the ultimate lesson is clear: the time has come to dissolve NATO and replace it with a security system that reduces tensions instead of fueling arms races and preparing for endless war”

  8. La voie ouverte

    Nous réalisons que nous sommes ce que nous cherchons : cette conscience pure, transparente, au cœur de notre être, est une fenêtre lumineuse sur l’unité. Avec cette prise de conscience survient la réalisation qu’il n’y a rien de plus à faire. Rien ne doit changer. Nous n’avons pas à nous améliorer. Chacun de nous est digne de la conscience éclairée, car elle est notre nature innée.

    *

    … l’éveil que vous avez réalisé se donne de lui-même. Ce n’est pas un accomplissement personnel. L’ouverture de la Voie Ouverte peut être décrite de maintes façons, l’une d’elles est sa générosité naturelle, ouverte. C’est une offrande invisible qui nous est donnée et se donne à travers nous. Nous n’en sommes redevables à personne. Elle se donne simplement d’elle-même.

    *

    C’est la contradiction qui réside au centre de la Voie Ouverte elle-même : ce que nous cherchons à reconnaître – notre nature originelle – ne demande aucune pratique. D’une part, toute pratique substitue un niveau de conceptualisation à la réalité de notre vraie nature. Et d’autre part, nous nous rendons compte que nous sommes hypnotisés par les identifications ainsi que par les croyances mentales et émotionnelles qui obscurcissent la réalisation de notre vraie nature, et que nous devons nous en affranchir. Pour nous y préparer, nous nous engageons dans diverses pratiques conçues dans ce but. Elles constituent une « voie ». Or ces pratiques, comme nous l’avons noté, tendent à ajouter de nouvelles couches à la conceptualisation et à l’identification, etc.

    *

    Le chemin vers notre état naturel n’est pas réellement un chemin, même s’il est présenté en étapes, mais plutôt une série d’investigations, chacune orientée vers ce que l’auteur désigne comme « conscience ouverte ».

  28. The contradiction I face most often as a #Marxist is that knowledge in the imperial core has been replaced in part by #propaganda. This #contradiction heightens as people start to see it in other places than politics, eg #AI.

    There are books on this: inventing reality by the late Michael Parenti, rest in power, who paid the pipers of western Marxism by Rockhill or western Marxism by losurdo.

    Its almost a pawlowian reflex that weaponizes the subconscious to fight progress.

    How to deprogram?

  33. A quotation from Emerson

    With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think to-day in words as hard as cannon-balls and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
    Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2
