Coming of Age in the Aquarian: Everything is illusion

Coming of Age in the Aquarian

Mankind is evolving in mind as well as in body. Indeed the body is a reflection of mind or consciousness. As we enter the 2000-year span of the Age of Aguarius, we find that the ground rules are subtly different from those of the preceeding age, Pisces. Many changes since the turn of the century in 1900 indicate greater emphasis on a scientific approach to life, choosing a way of life that is more suited to one's personal needs, and redefining roles, such as God-self, man-woman, parent-child, society-individual, and so on. To me life must be a conscious journey to have meaning. But mind must be balanced with heart. Here in this manifestation of the Aquarian age, the web-log, we will explore the unfolding of consciousness and other topics. I say "we," because your comments can only contribute to this venture, indeed they are needed. This weblog is dedicated to the greater good and all of us monkeys in this sometimes exotic stew. DISCLAIMER: I reserve the right to be silly sometimes, to sometimes completely miss the point, to be unfocused until I'm focused and to occasionally speak from atop a soapbox.

Everything is illusion

Journal Entry Date: 29 Oct 2004

Thought for the Day:
"Everything is illusion. Learn this and you will be free from suffering." The Right Way, verse 279 (Crosweller, Buddhist Wisdom Daily Reflections, p.314)

Brought to eye/mind today:
In hallway, on the way to the lunchroom, encountered a man in fireman's gear. A moment of confusion, then I asked "Are we on fire?" He chuckled, "No, Halloween costume."

Thank you, for an exhilarating exercise session.

Journal:

Able to sleep on stomach again; right hip feels better, less fragile.

Received an answer from TIME reprints. They want money.

Son MLF's birthday today.
