Last Friday of January 2022 today and checking the diary it appears to be completely free which is great. After all, we all wish for Freedom don't we, yet spend most of our lives as wage slaves. Even retired folks often graft on to top up the pension and it seems people with excess cash often wish they had more. Madness! When will we learn that enough is enough? Naturally nobody chooses to suffer from extreme poverty, do they? So why on Earth suffer from extreme envy? That's the folly of humans, who spend too much time counting their money, and so little time on Philosophy reflecting on the Purpose of this Life or the others.
Remember the long weekend, when wage slaves were granted Saturday for leisure and Sunday for misery and boredom going to Church to hear from priests why all the rest of us are inherently evil unless we confess our Sins? That was not so long ago in Christian countries, causing the poor brainwashed peasants to wonder what kind of God could be so cruel, when the hierarchy of this Faith became increasingly wealthy until we landed at the Vatican, where the Pope resided, and since he had a hot line to God Almighty, hypocrisy was observed in pretty much every religion organised hierarchically.
This observation takes us back to Krishnamurti of course, who taught that anything organised and not flowing must in the end decay, and let's face it folks religions are not exempt! Actually, they're the worst. This observation also fits with current theories of physics - one of K's closest friends was David Bohm - like many scientists these days merging science and non-duality was their aim.
Now for tonight's film, Eat, Pray, Love with Julia Roberts as Liz Gilbert wandering Italy, India and Bali in search of Love, which she found in Bali, the romantic form anyway. Before that she wished for Universal Love, which is Agape, a whole different category of Love. And since Liz Gilbert's story is biographical, after her handsome male lover spent time with her, it was revealed she fell in love with a woman, though it's not in the script.
Tomorrow is Saturday and no plans, so another Free day, though the friend from the village proposes a ride out in her car again. Barnard Castle is an option to buy delicious artisan bread and pastries from Rise ...
Let's see what the morning brings shall we?
Good night dear readers, sleep well!
