We laugh when we see a dog chase its tail, yet are we so superior? Do we not seek what we already possess? The dog’s tail is not elsewhere or ‘external’, the dog thinks/believes its tail must be captured though it was never lost or disconnected. When people chase externals, Gods, religions, ideologies they seek that which they already possess (solace/identity/security/redemption/joy/harmony) yet it is the same canine ignorance that deludes people as deludes the poor dumb beast. To seek what one possesses is to lose it through the process of seeking – seeking is not possessing! ... read full story / add a comment

In a deeply alarming Democracy Now interview with Liz McIntyre and Annalee Newitz, a future world of nightmarish aspect, of total intrusion is painted. "Imagine a world of no more privacy. "Where your every purchase is monitored and recorded in a database, and your every belonging is numbered. Where someone many states away or perhaps in another country has a record of everything you have ever bought, of everything you have ever owned, of every item of clothing in your closet -- every pair of shoes. What's more, these items can even be tracked remotely. "Once your every possession is recorded in a database and can be tracked, you can also be tracked and monitored remotely through the things you wear, carry and interact with every day. ... read full story / add a comment

Even after 40 years we can still be taken by surprise. No one anticipated the scenes in Dublin on Saturday afternoon. Even the Gardai, who turned up with riot shields, were wrong-footed by the ferocity and scale of the disturbances. Most of us expected a lacklustre imitation of an Orange parade trundling its way along O'Connell Street, followed by loyal sons piling onto buses to make their way home. No fuss. No impact. No point. ... read full story / add a comment

In the report linked to below, it describes how the acidity of the oceans has increased because the rate of carbon dixoide absorption has shot up. Many marine creatures such as corals and sea-shells of all kinds have carbonate shells which are sensitive to the acidity (or pH level) of the water and means they may start dissolving. This would have enormous repercussions for the entire oceanic ecosystems. ... read full story / add a comment
