Relate to the practice of meditation: tower m otto

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space.  He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.  This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.  Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.  Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)  Mathematical Circles

----------------------------------

Pay attention, then you will know there are other options. It will actually be within your power to experience a crowded, hot, slow, consumer-hell type situation as not only meaningful, but  sacred, on fire with the same force that made the stars: love, fellowship, the mystical oneness of all things deep down.

David Foster Wallace, Commencement Speech

---------------------

Love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and the earth." 
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

    • what "gender" means for clonal raider ants:

      "The world's 12,000 known species of ants display a variety of reproductive and survival strategies. The most familiar examples are the fully eusocial ants, in which many sterile female workers do all the chores, a single large queen lays all the eggs, and a sprinkling of male ants, or drones, supply the sperm.

       Among clonal raider ants, there are no permanently designated workers and queens. Instead, all the ants in a colony switch back and forth from one role to the other. About half the time, they behave like workers, gathering food for their young  generally, by raiding the nests of other ants and stealing their larvae.The rest of the time, they go into queen mode and all colony members lay eggs together. Moreover, there are no male raider ants: The eggs develop parthenogenetically, without sperm, creating phalanxes of genetically identical female clones….."

    REVIEW EARTHLINGS:

    AN ANGRY WORKER SHOUTS: "Go mother fucker!  Don't fuckin' stop. Let's go, let's go!!! Come on, bitch!" AND HE BEATS A ROW OF [FEMLW] PIGS UNABLE TO MOVE…….A PIG IS CLUBBED IN THE HEAD WITH A WRENCH. THE WORKER EXCLAIMS: "Ohhh, motherfucker, die!" WE SEE ANOTHER [FEMALE] PIG WHO  HAS FALLEN AND CAN'T GET UP; HER LEG WEDGED BETWEEN THE  BARS OF A CAGE. A WORKER BEATS HER IN AN EFFORT TO BRING  THE PIG TO ITS FEET. THE PIG CANNOT MOVE AND SCREAMS!

    ***

    WE SEE TRAINING FOOTAGE INSIDE A BARN. A HANDLER BEATS AN ELEPHANT MERCILESSLY, ALL THE WHILE EXCLAIMING: …

    Hurt him. Don't touch him! Make him scream! If you're  scared to hurt him, don't come in this room. When I say  rip his fuckin' ---you know how I am about touchin' him, right? So if I say rip his head off … rip his fuckin' foot off, what does that mean? Because it's very important to do it, right? When he starts squirming too fuckin' much –both fuckin' hands – BOOM! Right under that chin! Sit … and he better back up.Then when he fucks around too much, don't grab that leg … you fuckin' sink that hook and give everything you've got … and when it's in there go, ee-eeee-ee!!! And he's gonna start screaming. When you hear that screaming, then you know you've got their attention a little fuckin' bit! Right here in the barn. Can't do it on the road.

     

    She's gonna fuckin' do what I want. BECKY THE ELEPHANT BEGINS SCREAMING.  HANDLER You motherfucker. Get your motherfuckin' ---get up here! Motherfucker! Come here, Becky. Move up, Becky. Move up, Becky.

    Alright, tubs. Tubs! Hey, get loony. Hey, Becky. Go on, move up. Hey, I'm alive. I'm not a dead man. Move up. Come in line. Come in line, Becky. Motherfucker! Move, motherfucker!

     

    BECKY BEGINS SCREAMING AGAIN AS THE HANDLER BEATS HER.

    HANDLER Yeah, come in line. Come here, Tommy. Why do they have to go through that because you motherfuckers don't want to listen?

    THE ANKUS IS USED TO GRAB THE ELEPHANT BY THE ELBOW. IT HISSES AND SQUEELS!

    HANDLER Back up. You got a pussy-ass fuckin' attitude, it's just the way they die.
