“Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel.” — Jim Morrison

You Be You
We Might Have To Medicate You
Resist your temptation to lie
By speaking of separation from God,
By speaking of separation from God,
Otherwise,
We might have to medicate
You. In the ocean
A lot goes on beneath your eyes. Listen,
They have clinics there too
For the insane
Who persist in saying things like:
“I am independent from the
Sea, God is not always around
Gently
Pressing against
My body.”

Everything You Ever Need is Already Inside You
Who you really are is far beyond your comprehension. That’s why living squeezed into the human experience can be painful at times.

You can become as small as the smallest quantum particle, and as big as the multitude of galaxies that exist in space.
I was always like that, really. I just didn’t know it.
And so it is everyone else.
Even you.
And you have your own eternal music.
That’s cool! 🙂

Now, I think, we have to abandon Western cultural values, and return to the deeper wisdom of the body in connection with the plants. That’s the seamless web that leads us back into the heart of nature.” – Terence McKenna
The Choice is Ours
The Choice is Ours (2016) Official Full Version
This film series explores many aspects of our society. To rethink what is possible in our world, we need to consider what kind of world we want to live in. Although we refer to it as civilization, it is anything but civilized. Visions of global unity & fellowship have long inspired humanity, yet the social arrangements up to the present have largely failed to produce a peaceful and productive world. While we appear to be technically advanced, our values and behaviors are not. The possibility of an optimistic future is in stark contrast to our current social, economic, and environmental dilemmas. The Choice Is Ours includes interviews with notable scientists, media professionals, authors, and other thinkers exploring the difficulties we face.

The familiar story of the past is crumbling, while the new story has yet to arrive. In a time of social and ecological crisis, what can we as individuals do in this space between?
