Here's another bit about Star Wars, but the whole playlist is wonderful. To put it mildly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97moKnDZYlM&index=19&list=PLiJELyO9hcAZ_JVEmAI3sByatFwdSy6F7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97moKnDZYlM&index=19&list=PL... I need to have this on DVD. I may have "heard" of the man in the sense of having heard the name or having seen the face somewhere, but I had no clue what I was missing out on; thank you! He's absolutely right, the only way to "save the world" is to be alive.. whatever additional possible useful interactions there may be, they have to come from and be in harmony with that. Most of the time, being open and constructive leads to things you couldn't have possibly foreseen or planned to achieve. Come to think of it, for the first time ever I don't feel 100% silly for sometimes feeling like "the universe" kind of "rewards" paying attention to it for the sake of the relation between it and oneself, not the relation of oneself and others. But it's not about this deity or that myth, at the very least, there indeed is consciousness everywhere we can look, so maybe there is even more where we can't look yet or ever. There sure is a lot we drown out with our own clanging of pots and pans, individually and socially... but like a plant turns to the sun, maybe the sun turns to plants, in a way. Meister Eckhart went so far as to say that you can basically "force" God to come down to you, into you, by making yourself completely empty, because he simply cannot resist humbleness. I always found that kind of a sweet and wise way to look at what others would describe very draconically, in the language of slaves rather than lovers, but more importantly it's really profoundly true. As a metaphor, as poetry. > "You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet." - Franz Kafka
