The desire of a thoughtlessly living man grows like a creeper. He drifts from one life to another like a monkey looking for fruit in the forest.
When one is overcome by this wretched, clinging desire in the world, one's sorrows increase like grass growing up after a lot of rain.
But when one masters this wretched desire, which is so hard to overcome, then one's sorrows just drop off, like a drop of water...

Shall absolve ourselves, to renounce, and let it go all.
Before next sunrise of the soul, this desire will dissolve.
Like countless bitter tears, forever lost after fresh rainfall.
Showing pieces of the Qatsi trilogy, this video brings an interesting zoom in from galaxies in the universe, to some of the pictures we´ve almost embedded to imagine our world.
And in spite of this mirage it is right now, precisely at this point in time, when we´ll finally glimpse the way out off these chains, our way forward. It just happens that have to be willing to surrender what we are for what we could become.
Because the answer is not division but unity, not greed but noblility, not fear but courage, not hatred but love, not conflict but compassion.
Welcome back to you. We all are infinite consciousness, pure potential having a human experience.
We have bigger houses but smaller families;
More conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
More knowledge, but less judgment;
More experts, but more problems;
More medicines, but less healthiness;
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour...
A contemporaneous vision of spirituality throughout the words of three men with a profound understanding of today and the challenges humanity will have yet to face.

Unlike it happens in the wild nature, when time passes by over the human imprint, often something intriguing inhabits these abandoned places.
By Zac Boyet
Thought it might be the observer, whom while gazing at the emptiness of such an awful shadow, tends to look for some meaning out of its shape.
Maybe because the senseless becomes so unbearable, a past reality asks to be created. Like an instinctive reaction, attempting to calm the lament of the soul.
Watts says; if we think is because we're manipulating with symbols... then, the ghosts in our languages are in fact the limit of our reason.
Also aims that fortunately we might not be completely lost after that, because as the Dutch philosopher Aart van der Leeuw wisely said; the mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
