Drop climate change off at the house, the hypocrisy of everyday people, the climate of everyday people, the Rottweiler of everyday people, their business. Climate change, now showing at your house. We gotta get out of this. It’s a consumer nightmare. How much simpler our lives could be if we tried. That Rottweiler is resistant to change. Lovely creature though. Some do it. You’d be pleased to announce I’m not preaching at you. I’m preaching at me. Whatta we do with this? Turn off lights and stoves and only sparingly wash clothes. Whatta we do with the refrigerator? Now that’s a tough one. We could do a lot better. We buy enough crap to begin with. My God the waste in my house. It could start the day. My God the crap in my house. The allergies make the air conditioning livable in such a warm climate, but it could be turned off to save noon. I’m not sayin’ live without it, but let’s treat it like the luxury it is. We need it sometimes. Oh Lord don’t take my A/C away. [heard sung to tune of “You Are My Sunshine”] I think that’s got the paper. Alright fine, but can it join us in the room? What did the refrigerator say? It didn’t it’s just got military handles. You mean like hot water? Do we really need it right now? All the amenities, they’re starin’ us in the face. Can I write another poem? Can you spare me the mayonnaise? I don’t wanna write this poem. It’s not my baked bread. Living conditions suck without electricity, but I think we all could get better at using it. It’s the semblance of noon, all along town. Can you see it? Brush with health the climate enforcer. We get sick doin’ it. No health reasons you neglect. Don’t make yourself ill. The climate can stand a little bit of you in it. We’re just armed for change. We don’t charge each other’s property with you must do this or else. Can you understand the reason behind that? You blister change with the wrong attitude, and it won’t work.
So where do we go for change? In our relations with one another. That’s the ballpark/battleground. [words spoken simultaneously] We have to learn to live with each other without spite. Can you find a person that knows this on the environmental frontlines? They’re too busy charging other people with spite. This doesn’t work. It just blows up in your face. I’m tellin’ the Greta Thunbergs that. A climate change activist, we need better human beings. Can you just open your eyes and look? What does your patrol car grant us? More ill will. Can we get around this? How do you show people they’re wrong without hating them for it? That’s the climate needs better. We’re just stubborn mules when it comes to seein’ that. Just ask the press. Okay animals get busy, force this on people. I’m givin’ you the smell of the thing. I don’t think you care about me. You have a place card. This makes your life feel better. You’re an active ingredient. You’re an activist for change. We push people. We don’t know how to make them see. Maybe you’re lookin’ at the wrong equipment. We need a change in heart. Can you care about people, or are we all just numbers trashin’ the planet? Where do we see this? In our very hands. Protest movements awake! We have to get better at bein’ people. We have to be better human beings. Where do we go for that? In the living room. It’s anybody you talk to, have dealings with. You make them feel special like you care. Now that’s the whale in the room. Can you really care? I don’t think so, not without some life assignment, where you learn to put love first, so much so love hurts. These are vulnerable feelings, and you put every man, woman, and child there. Can you find them? They’re your next door neighbor.
Now let’s go to police cops in the room. You can’t force anybody to do anything and get the safety you want. You just step on them, and they resent you for it. Vegans everyone? And you’ve stepped on the world. This is not everybody’s diet. It’s a religion to some people. It’s got hoofs on it. Mainstream media’s pushin’ it. This does not carry us to safety. We’re the animal in the room. Stop eating meat’s a practice, no animal products at all an intolerance. It’s too extreme for our world venture. You would have to know country home, in an impoverished district, to understand the impropriety of veganism, and I didn’t just say rare places on earth. So many of us live in poverty. I’m gonna eat, and I don’t need vegans robbin’ my plate. You’re not sustainable. Good afternoon. Incredible, time goes through, I went to that place: non-veg is not the meat anymore. It’s a vegetarian diet we all live on. We just get out our laser guns and put fish on the menu. It’s a laboratory the actual change ahead is calling. Mystical experience will dynamic each other. It’s just one of those things. Animals are friends and we don’t eat friends. That group identity, it’s gonna take place in our living room, and the camel down the street is a part of it. No one gets left out, but a camel gets so close to our notion of self, we ride them that’s their comfort zone, and there’s your horse. What are you talking about? The substance of our change. Art is listened to whatever we ride, and make it better. Am I making any sense? We’re not legalistic about anything. We’re flexible to survive. Unbelievable the amount of sacrifice our survival depends on. We all have to do it. It doesn’t come about on its own. We’re military historians. Can I show you a battle with yourself all won? This rules the day: self-sacrifice on the frontlines. Choke climate change. Don’t make him the monster. We reach inside and pull out our humanity, and our skills at that does the rest. Now let’s go back to that army book you’re readin’, the news media, that big journalistic thug. Do we really have to crap in our beds? Are you sure you want us to be mean to each other? Do you have to hate the climate denier? Cows, there’s more responsible than just not wanting them to fart. On fire farming methods. Practicing that, making animals safe and comfortable. It is catch those devils, sick really, who make milk and eggs an animal’s holocaust. We’re not into punish people. Look at them. Stop buying their products. And we can get them to see reason.
Are you an older brother? I’m a way station man. I’m hearin’ the bagpipes sing. Remind yah survival’s an organized emergency we all do together. That dog got me order? Beautifully. Love made him do it. We’re in our protocol if a person could handle on his deep emotions. He’s a vehicle for change. The balls that we make here are women’s kinds of things. They’re empathically arranged. He sees in court as not ethically arranged. We’re gonna sleep on it, see what we outta do. I woke up and went over it as a dream. Your approach is sound sir. I was dealin’ with late ideas. The ability to help one another, it’s in every classroom. My God it’s like Auroville pops off its angel. I should have living with the fears. There’s no hurry for development. It’s in the air we have to do this now. Helping’s free, I’d give him to help. We have time bro. Your doomsday has an opinion across the street. We can avoid a piece of chicken. We can avoid fish. A lot do it and they’re vegetarian. Good excellent I support that cause. He just stepped out onto the floor, one help, one happen. It’s too early to damage every restaurant now. There’s a lot we can do to get started. It’s not the end of the world yet. No hot water, it starts off inflexible. Our attitudes to change kill it. Come to where the prize is: may I help you? Don’t sit there and demand people change. It’s got our stuff on it, and you go in a museum to destroy a work of art because you’ve got the proof you got a lot about you needs changed. It’s character armor not climate change we need to see before we can get at that climate change. Can you hear me Ms Greta Thunberg? Can you accomplish this? We need to see each other first. Gun naked balance own big time. We’re tryin’ to get that settled in first: we’re all responsible. It takes better human beings to tackle climate change. The problem’s combining the too essential with the ordinary. Can you see that?
A miracle where he stood. This is about enlightenment our next trip. You don’t know it’s there. It’s a Buddhist word that means many things. The enlightened state of being is my crossover with it. It’s deep and it’s heavy. You are not yourself anymore. You’re a non-egoed consciousness seein’ the world. It’s oneness’ state of being, nonduality’s headquarters. There’s no separation between you and an object save you’re there. You can stand on your own two feet. It’s not just a mesh of everything. No one can describe this state. Normal regular consciousness is the external at large. You can’t grasp realization by the horns. It’s too realization deep. You have no boundaries to speak of, but you wear them for the play. You’ve stepped into real greatness. You’re an enlightened being. You have no fears anymore. You are a center for nature to do her works, for the divine to act. You are not the initiating repository. You just ride the seas a passive instrument in God’s hands. We’re goin’ there, you, me, and everyone, regardless of your creed. It’s a long way off for the race to achieve. This individual door has been opened always few and far between. A quickening is coming, and we will grapple with this state. I think some will fight it, of course. We’re headed toward that now. I’m a medium for this change, one of many. I don’t know how many there are. Let’s see if I pull it up, and that will put my words in the right place. This is exceedingly huge in front of me, and I get scared sometimes, and I know what to be scared for. I’ve been there a time or two momentarily, else I couldn’t talk like this. Right now I’m just dry on this. It’s miracle not natural change, and that has to change. I have to see it as the order of the day.
My days are spent grappling with the impossible. There is so much more to life than anybody wants to know, and you’re left with a big gulf you have no knowledge to cross, no matter how much knowledge you gain. The world is big you understand. Who can fathom existence? But we have the way station of enlightenment to get us there. There’s more to come, but that’s where we begin. Hold out for more. Is climate change all there is to change? Are we just working for our survival? If we reach the stars, then what? It’s another planetary marvel? There’s more to life’s room than you live in this house and do these things, than the existential field in front of you. We can go beyond doing. We can be larger than our field. The world does not bind us. We are strangers in a strange land. Life is magnificent in her shoes. Typified somewhere in art is life’s grandness. Life is bigger than her existence, than climate change. You should all panic says the frightened child, be very afraid says the press. Is that so? Sit down. It’s always like this: emergency’s got us noon. If you don’t push people around the world will end, come on see the test you’re in. Can you outgrow yourself? You have a large spoon. Hello poem. Hello world. Well let’s get at it.
If the water wanted to it could stir your mind up to pits your brain. [spoken at the end of a dream where I was being healed of being raped, although I hadn't been and was just playing along so to be safe from a would-be robber, by people chanting and pouring water and herbs over me as I knelt down in the center of them] We’re, we’re thinking. We see where the water comes from. That’s the science found equation, such a big skeleton. It is a thing upon the air. We grow it in petri dishes. We see it everywhere. It’s life force, can’t you just tell by looking at? It’s not wonderful solving human. It’s angry, hateful, and mean. It’s in our land, has penetrated our children’s lives. It’s gonna get worse. It’s time to act now upon this monster. The last thing your burger could be is a flavor of murdered animal. Alright people it’s mean. What? We knock ourselves silly. Can we identify the problem? It’s hatred and ill will spread out upon the land on the inside. That’s the problem. We garden with it. That’s our accident. That’s the science confusion. I am tired of this broadcast: we need climate change to stop heat. And hate is so rampant among us. Can you see it? Look in your heart. Look in your mind. You won’t find it anywhere else where you can directly work on it. Yah hear what I’m sayin’?
Where does your hatred find fingers in the real world? In the pedophile’s bed lay, even the kind that don’t molest children. I think we’ve hit the hot spot in everyone. In that American audience this is more pronounced than ever. QAnon anyone? They rule the show. We’ve looked at hatred with our hands, and we’ve looked at the hottest variety, but there it is your companion in so many places, at the supermarket for example when you’ve revealed yourself to them riding there among them. Come on let’s get outta here. I’ve got a surprise bottle, not what you’re lookin’ for Mimie. Michael Jackson wore this. I’m safe from him. I’ve exploded keys. I would like to hunt you down and kill you. There are so many of you, and we’ve ruled exactly that page. You’re learning the thought book that mesmerizes each other, your outrage that helps you goin’. As soon as he pays you’re probably gonna murder him anyway, because you think you can go Emmett Till and get away with it. We think we can go. Let’s all a bunch of play that’s no work to yah. You hate each other silly in perspectives. What is gonna wake you up? You manage this. I don’t need to sit through a movie I need to sit through things here. [spoken at the end of a dream where I’d just arrived at an orphanage to be a resident child there, and the assistant to the director was telling me I could go to the movies with the director and children he was taking] You had only wanted brains at the moment, and you’d left the heart to rot. You federal people. You don’t hate anyone. You could explode yourself, take a gun and shoot everybody. Hate’s got that gun, hate the rapist at large, any Tom, Dick, and Harry who stole the street. A nation takes a scapegoat and makes Jews outta them. Mr. Blackwell, Black man, you think he’s a social disease, don’t yah, and let’s not forget the corporate managers. They need to be shot. God damn your next door neighbor, his music’s too loud, and you just hate that shopkeeper. You got there first. Why, he cut you off in traffic, that son of a bitch. Any number of things, and you apply hate in its place. Voyeur it in your mind, don’t you hate those people.
Okay I’m through. I need a better climate. Well it’s process work, that you understand the direction. Any constitution, ninety percent of the battle is get it outta the heart, and it is being done very slowly. There’s Jesus cop, oh my Jesus oh my good. [spoken at the end of a dream where a tank had just come to the rescue of people about to be killed, the tank firing away, focus on the tank commander, who was halfway out of the hatch and ordering commands] Come, come, come, come, it’s a climate emergency. We hate each other on the inside. You see the climate emergency? Even animals have a right to regard. We hate them too. Oh that burger taste good, but I’m hearin’ a cow in there, and I’m not open to rough spots yet, but at least I’m ready to acknowledge the cow. Murderous cow disease, can I get over that? Well, you’ve seen my banker. I’m gonna begin to feel them. I’m not gonna shut out anybody. We’ve got a climate to get better. I’m not gonna hate anybody. There, I’ve said your peace, and we’ve made a climate change, the secret buffalo that helps us make the right decisions that gives us climate justice. This is what we need to see to unequivocally change the world, and there we go. Got it critical mass.
Of their winners we have the announcements. They made spiritual enlightenment where they found water. They made spiritual enlightenment the goal of the game. They came to us in broad planes. I don’t even know where he is. In a horrible ruling mansion nobody wants to go. Have you ever seen freedom do it? I’ve got a broadcast for yah. Here put this on. [vision of being seated at a computer chair I don’t recognize and taking off my pullover shirt and putting on a blue, American football jersey that changed into a purple one once it was on] I’m on my way.
