A Temple Doing

It doesn’t work, speak no evil. There’s social media, a limited engagement. You’re robbed of your thinking. You just can’t get along without it. I use it to post poems. No one listens to me. I’m too far out there, a lamp post. Crud’s got your thinking. It’s all wrapped up in stuff, the opinion polls. I don’t know where to begin to tell you this is dangerous to your health. How do we get rid of it? We don’t. We let it stay. It’s horrific on our senses. It pulls us this way and that, and we can write on it our opinions in user content. That’s its value to us. Can we stop this, practice patience, holy roller your pen? I would have to explain this mule. Can we get off of it? No, it’s coming from your inner source of inspiration. It’s got the light of worlds on it. You speak because it’s an inner necessity. You don’t really want to. Oh my God the ploughs here. I think we can be deluded. Yeah, you crazy you ain’t. How do you know which way to go? How do you know it’s genuine? It’s engages your life right at the node. It’s got your guts spilled out on the page in poetic symbols. If it’s video art, you're revealin’ your problems in time where infinity meets them. If you think you’re a realized being you’re not. Oh my I’ve crossed lines: I’m not a realized being saying that. I think we can pepper some individuals on this flagpole. What would they sound like? Oh my God it’s God. Give me a link to a video you’ve heard this on, and let’s consider it. Now back to the mule. I don’t think you’re dressed up. You don’t wear camera wear, and I’m not talkin’ costumes, make-up. In a creation video they’re fine. You’re not tryin’ to say somethin’ expoundatory, and you’re revealin’ yourself as the origin of the video, whatever. You don’t expound your themes. You’re surprised from inside when your inspiration wants to say somethin’, and the inspiration writes itself. Can you follow me here? I’m not done. I think we clue in on Muriel or Manifesting Auroville. These are not divine papers. They show and tell. They don’t say anything that will change your life. They’re just there on the page quoting masters. They have something to say, and with creativity and with clout, but it’s your standard, ordinary video, or something to say, and it doesn’t engage the world with you. It’s pretty and all, sometimes, but it doesn’t hold your hand and speak properly like a friend. You’re engaged to claim supremacy over others. I’m sorry Manifesting Auroville, you’re not there with me in the error of my stuff a way station for hope. Can we get goin’? I’d like to talk to you, and I’m manifestin’ Auroville too. We’ve some things to consider you have not. Can that be done? It’s just my look. I engage you in the pencil of a book, in the principle of a book. We wouldn’t start at chapters. It’s got all the way to Israel on it, the intro to racial equality. It’s a big book, and we’d start there. Have we branded Auroville? We’ve hit it right on the head, the exponential of Auroville. Do join us.
