2019-02-04 – The Flow

Sunday, March 10th, 2019
 
Go with the flow.
   Let the moment to moment impressions
      be the river you are in.

What stops you?
   The need to ask, "What does it mean?"

That urge to bring
   your logical mind in
to pull the summation handle
   and to render up an answer?

But, as you do,
   you step out of the flow,
into the cognitive
   and out of the now.

2019-03-30 – Quantum brain stuff

Saturday, March 30th, 2019

If the rate of energy dispersal
is the ultimate driver of why
complexity builds in the midst
of an existence driven by
The Second Law of Thermodynamics,
then it may go some way towards
explaining why the process of
Photosynthesis has been demonstrated
to exhibit quantum effects.

If the quantum-aided solution
provides Photosynthesis with better
energy degradation,
then it would be preferred by nature
over the non-quantum solution.

This notion should be generalizable
and be applicable to how the brain
integrates information in Tononi’s
“Integrated Information Theory
of Consciousness”.

2019-09-15 – Zen & Teflon Gurus

Sunday, September 15th, 2019

As an active force,
you cease acting,
and Zen
arises.

From that immediacy,
thought arises,
and action
resumes.

This action,
manifesting,
only
of unity.

Provoked, the
teflon gurus
break their
absence.

‘No’, they say,
manifesting
that
which they deny.

In Zen,
there are none.
With action,
there are many.

It is
what it is.
