New Fire From Old Timber

he hasn't any views

he is the destroyer of views

it's not easy kindling

the hardest metal ever known

for a new temperature

for human

to light a fire

for a new age to becomes us

he isn't any human

he is the culmination of views

forgotten but always here

and it's never easy herding views

the hardest task man ever knew

is the concentration of a great fire

in the vain of a time's survival

and the birth

of a new age

something I have been pondering on and off for the past few weeks... yeah we've created this ethnosphere of thought, but it's been and entangled mess for quite some time now ... what to do? A consciousness shift is possibe ... I believe it is ... may just have to try and wake up all the rats though, you know to follow the new pied piper ..

[Davidgeo]

I'd like to think we'll evolve from the pied piper method. Bet it hurts like nothing else when it happens... we'll be long dead before though. I hope so anyway.

[KWP]

the problem is ... some will evolve from the Pied Piper ... others will scurry and chase the same as always ... it these that keep the balance.. it's these that make an already chaotic world simmering along ... problem is the tangled web is getting more messed up ... we need something new ... groundbreakingly new ... I was listening to a scientist talking about all the theories of the universe yesterday and he said something along the lines of a radical new line of thinking that could change the way we perceive things ... I am looking forward to hearing more X

[Davidgeo]

There are myriad ways readily available that can change your perception. I was thinking more along the lines of a compulsory version of that... something far more devastating than a voluntary perception.

"The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true" Robert Oppenheimer.... "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." also Robert Oppenheimer.

[KWP]

Maybe perception was the wrong words choice ... and yeah ... that video ... sure I will give it a go later and get back to you

[KWP]

never been good with science though ... I'm a more look within type a gal

[Davidgeo]

It's the same thing when condensed into video. It's looking within. Very very deeply. It ought to be the new age of looking... it's not as hard as you think to be a multi purpose gal. Some theoretical physicists are complete s**t at mathematics and practical chemistry.

[KWP]

that's why I enjoy Deepak - he articulates so well and married science & "spiritually" together ... I will watch ... I will be multi-purpose goddammit - I like a challenge ...

It's nice to meet an Australian hippie. Did you know you are now the richest country per capita in the western world? I'd move there but they'd probably call me an illegal immigrant.

[KWP]

I live in Sydney and I believe that it is the fourth most expensive place to buy real estate in the world these days ... saying that when you go west of Sydney and just keep going ... you may be lucky enough to stumble across your own little patch of dreamtime ... it's true, our government makes ot very hard to get in these days ...

[Davidgeo]

It still remains a fact of raw data... Australia is significantly more prosperous than anyone on average over your population. That stat has piqued my interest for quite some time... I wanna make a kangaroo joke right now but I'm pretty sure you've reached your breaking point on Americans making kangaroo jokes. (also, no, most yanks don't think you ride kangaroos to school. We only seem retarded,..)

Read it twice, and I'm having trouble understanding what it is you meant exactly. I would be glad for an explanation

[Davidgeo]

Think of it like you would think the invention of the nuclear weapon. It takes great and terrible things to progress the human race, sometimes. Or it's whatever you want it to be... it could be about unicorns and narwhals if it works for you. Poetry is better when it's like those choose your own adventure books.

[guy drori]

Well thanks for the insight. I now see the poem in a different way completely.
Glad I read . . .

[aLittlePain]

We f#%k s**t up and call it progress...mint title and some smooth lines. dope poem! R xo

[Jenny Leigh]

I'm not sure I'm understanding this one. But it may be because I worked a long shift and have a really bad headache too.

[Davidgeo]

The destructive nature of rapid progress... or something like that.

[Jenny Leigh]

Oh. Ok. Thanks for clarifying.
