Dumbded Down

 RCS Posts: Education: You may be helpless, we are not.          

     

            My old aunt spoke to me long ago of "the numbing of America" and now I have struggle against it a bit. We each are responsible our teaching our children as best we can. We can do better.We do not have to believe all we hear. These topics ought to be of some importance and use to us.

 

            The US is not the only place dumbing has been practiced. We need not be helpless. Let's educate ourselves and our children much, much better.

 

            Our duming may not be completely our own fault. There is some evidence of coordinated effort to dumb us. We need not worry much about that we are capable of educating ourselves. We are many and there is help available. Self education and self governance takes co-operation. Organization is only a step above co-operation.

            Together we can become less vulnerable to fear and hysteria. neither of these help our  organization, co-operation, education, responsibilities, rights, or freedom.

Taoistic Writings

RCS Posts Esoteric to Exoteric: Taoistic Sayings

 

            I find something attractive about a philosopher who laughs with me. I have enjoyed the humor of Taoist writers. I find much of their writing witty and accessible. Much is also usable and wise. 

Their use of the following phrases has moved my thinking and perceiving in useful ways:
+ Accept the reality of the available freedom.
+ Easy does it.
+ Attend to your energy reserve,
+ No regrets.
+ Set your burden down and enjoy the water.
+ The door is not locked.
+ Peacefully rejoice in reality.
+ Know the joyful security of wandering whe there is no path.
+ Enjoy your wit and romantic adventures.
+ Is it really so?
+ Great knowledge and long life.
+ How do you know that it is so?
+ Be little moved by praise and blame.
+ Discriminate.
+ Be clear about the nature of honor and disgrace.
+ Small self, little vanity.
+ Know the rule without ruling.
+ Know you.
+ Be willing to know the quality of your perception.
+ Let go of the clutter and the trivia.
+ Nothing is useless.
+ All is useful.
+ As you smell the roses, hear the music.
+ As you speak, be aware of how little you know.
+ Nothing depends on your point of view. 
+ Your opinion is changing this instant.
+ Let them be.
+ How can we understand it all in one day?
+ Clarify your understanding today.
+ Embrace reality.

            When you want some humor, wit, and laughter, read some of their writings.

            I guess I could have published this to my Esoteric to Exoteric blog.
