The surrealist week that was...
Tuesday, October 8, 2013 - crack of dawn?
'Merica mo' entrenched in absurd political wrangling.
Tuesday, October 8, 2013 - crack of dawn?
The Nobel Prize in physics is awarded to Francois Englert of Belgium and Peter Higgs of the United Kingdom for their identification of the Higgs boson or 'God Particle'.

Yep, gentlesoulfolk, we have fallen down the rabbit hole - again. This week of Nobel announcements to celebrate human excellence in science, literature, and most elusive 'Peace' occurs in the second week of The 'developed' world 'leaders' aborted governance. This juxtaposition of our worst behavior right smack upside the head of our crowning achievements offers a full circle week of human potentiality.
“Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.”
Albert Einstein - 1921 Nobel laureate, quote from The World As I See It
Friday, October 11, 2013 - crack of dawn?
The Nobel committee salutes the UN inspecting team in Syria, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) instead of vocal advocate for XX chromo ed-resulting-in-Taliban-bullet-thru-the-head...Pakistani teen, Malala Yousafzai.
Granted, the work of the OPCW is intrinsic to humanity - ridding the global landscape of the tools of warfare. One, howeva, must question this trend of awarding institutions over individuals. The power of community honors us all. Nevadaless, one wonders if Alfred Nobel may have been more inclined towards the idea of inspiration as most potent when singularly derived. There is the rare grandeur of an altruistic act. That must first be a choice. Its catalyst is the conscience of the individual. Is such not the finer example of humanity's potential when just one decides upon, and then demands, ultimate dignity? Oft sans support, that lone person - placing awareness into actuality - creates change for the better. For all - if only in inspiration which cannot be minimized.
For those amongst my good peops taking a random tally on the award that Gandhi - albeit nominated four times - never received?
2013 - UN unit
2012 - EU
2011 - 'joint' XX chromo rights award to
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkol Karman
2010 - Liu Xiaobo
2009 - POTUS
Now, po-lease, back to that boson...
Do you believe in God?
One need not believe in nor even acknowledge the atomic structure of What Be in order to exist. Molecules will just keep on doin' their thang regardless of human consciousness. To excel, however? Might there be an optimal level of awareness or intention on the beginning of Matter to make a life matter most?
That reward might be what Alfred Nobel meant with his award. Notably? In secular Sweden where agnosticism and/or atheism is normalized. When individual recognition was the standard, the Stockholm shout-out apparently sought the notion of piety within the purity of personal conviction - as expressed thru noble action.
One believes in that Awethenticity - only. If Awethenticity has a root and if the essential atom at the core of that root is some divinity expressing an inconceivable altruism for what may be possible in our purpose - then, in that? In that - along with financial portfolio advise from Lucy van Pelt? In those two I would be absurdly humbled to believe.
a clever as compassionate critique
on the implausibility of
POSTness
