And I DO Mean Everyone

(And the Universe spoke this koan)

I speak through everyone.

Eschatology Now

(And the Universe said)

Some human primates use the word “evil”
to identify the source of all their fears:
their imagined ultimate personal date with entropy.

Ready to Order?

(And the Universe said)

Everything is food.

Prosperity Consciousness

(OB1 said)

If you are a cannibal,
overpopulation is not a problem,
and the world is a smorgasbord.

Planetary Consciousness Begins at Home

(And the Universe said)

You are the Earth,
playing a human primate consciousness game.

If you like rituals,
grab a handful of rock and soil,
lift them over your head,
and speak these words into the sky,
"This is my body . . ."

How was that?

Unconditional Love, Part 2

(OB1 said)

"Unconditional" is a condition.

Unconditional Love, Part 1

(OB1 said)

Would you rather be
unconditionally loved,
or unconditionally lovable?

Who Are You Putting On?

(OB1 observed)

Here's some secret stuff from the Christians, in plain sight:

"To you it is given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven."
"I will give you the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven."
"The Kingdom of Heaven is within you."
"Put on the mind of Christ."
(What is the mind of Christ?)
"I and the Father are one."

No More Laws

(And the Universe said)

There are no laws;
but there are consequences.

There are no laws of nature;
but there are behaviors of nature.

There's no such thing as sin:
you'll have to come up with something more reasonable
to explain poor human primate behavior.

Trust Me

(OB1 said)

You can trust anyone—to be who they are, not who you want them to be.

Altruism

(OB1 said) Altruism is a measure of how broadly we define ourselves.

Who is You

(And the Universe said)

The person you think is looking over your shoulder is you.

The person you think is staring at you is you.

The person you think is talking about you is you.

Wanna make something out of It?

(David Lintner is Original Bishop #1
of The One True Church. OB1 said)

With God, nothing is possible.

Fizzzz!

(And the Universe said)

Earth’s ongoing cycles,
like mountain building, plate tectonics,
and life forms living and dying, and so on,
are, in the long view,
the planet effervescing.

So, you, human primate, are froth with meaning.

Hey You!

(And the Universe said)

One way I express self-understanding,
and create meaning for myself,
is with human primate language.
As such, language is both a blessing and a curse, because . . .

Meaning is in the mind of the beholder,

Asshole.

What’s in a name? What’s in your name?

You don't really think you are your name, do you?

You are the Universe

(And the Universe said)

Everyone and everything are made out of the same stuff--Me.

I am, in varying degrees,
awake, conscious, aware (of myself), intent, and clueless—
in you, as you, in primate form, in primate mind.

In your human primate form, as you,
I use scientific inquiry to explore, know and understand myself.

Wake up!

In the Beginning

(And the Universe said)

I am, and I know I am. Wow!

(And then there was this great big woooosh!)
(And then the Universe said)

There is only One True "Church."
Everyone and everything are members.
You can't resign.
Everyone is right.
