Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation \\ Words of Wisdom - July 26, 2026 🌞

"I resolved to keep lightening my game as much as I could. But when you have beautiful things that are a part of the beauty of your life, of course, enjoy them. What happens is, as you keep becoming more light in your consciousness you feel less desire to collect stuff. What you have already is part of the beauty of your universe."   Source: Ram Dass – Here and Now – Ep. 145 – Here We Are

Via Them \\ The Odyssey isn’t “woke,” it’s a mirror...

 

I started sobbing in the final act of The Odyssey, and the tears didn’t dry until after the credits rolled. Perhaps I should have expected the director of Oppenheimer to turn Homer’s epic into a meditation on the morality of war, but I was completely punched in the gut by what Christopher Nolan accomplished.

If you haven’t managed to make it out to see the movie during — or since — its opening weekend, I won’t say anything else here. Ignore the bigotry around the casting of Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong'o, and just get yourself to a theater — but don’t get waylaid by any sirens along the way!

And if you’ve already seen the film, join me and my colleague Quispe López for our spoiler-filled discussion below. We dive deep into its themes, the narrative choices, and the absurd backlash.

The Journey of the Body

In what we call death, the body does not disappear. It continues its journey forth. Not a single element is lost. The body simply transforms into air and water and earth and sky. Norman Fischer, “No Beginning, No Ending, No Fear” ​ CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE

T.S. Elliot

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.
