Counterfeits of Enlightenment

Counterfeits of Enlightenment

In other words, we cannot kick the cosmic coke machine and get a free coke. In other words, the enlightened are not thugs. In other words, overpopulation stress lures us into thinking and acting like thugs.

The lesson our world wants us to realize is that there is absolutely nothing to be gained by harming one another in any way. The lesson is that the best solution to any problem we will ever face will not force us to harm one another.

Any violation, by the hard Left assaulting that which in America is more enlightened than they are, by the Right siding more with drug companies than citizens, or radical Islam attacking the non-Muslim world, is exactly and proportionately as self destructive as a wild man attacking his left knee with the hatchet in his right hand.

Again, the resulting dysfunction may be so diffuse as to be difficult to measure without sophisticated instrumentation—but it must be there.

How do we know? Because Balance is an absolutely absolute structural force of our world. It is ever-present and never fails.

I’m At My Best When I Relax

This is the great lesson of tai chi. I call tai chi the Calisthenics of Enlightenment because of all the curious, direct tie-ins with profundity.

For example, you cultivate your chi in order to become a force of nature, so that the structural force of Yin and Yang is in your spine and your waist and your limbs. You swing your waist like a force of nature, connected with all things, just as the law should be, and our social contract.

Are the hard Socialists relaxed when they crow at you for not being as perfect as they are? Are they relaxed when they enjoin you to hate their political opponents and belittle their political opponents as subhuman?

Are they relaxed when the same ones who pass 50,000 tax hikes on you don’t bother to pay those same taxes themselves?

Are they relaxed when none of this hypocrisy bothers them?

I believe relaxation is a part of enlightenment because it logically and instinctually makes sense to me. But look at all the scientific evidence that now corroborates the idea. You cannot find scientific evidence to the contrary.

We never will. . . . Not until the world changes.

Is it relaxed that the Socialists seem to live by no standard except the Double Standard?
