Evolved?

They say we swam, then we crawled, then we walked. Strange, because one thing that life has showed me, we're still crawling ..out of slime, ..that doesn't let go. - yours truly

OK, Ecosia is a bit less good than Google, but I'm gonna keep with it..

I came across this video about Ecosia , a tree planting search engine : Short synopsis: Participate in reforestation by changing your default search engine to Ecosia . Really, that's all it takes! http://ecosia.org Ditching Google Search is also a good idea because they block independent sources . # boycottgooglesearch Let's not only raise our voice, but take part in changing the world. Thank you for caring AND sharing. My experience My friend told me then that Ecosia is too bad from google that he had to return to google , though he admitted that was some time ago and was curious if it is still so. So, I kept my attention high since seeing that video and putting my default search engine on ecosia and I compared . I am not sure it is as bad as it was then, but here it is... Ecosia often doesn't put the things I am really looking for on top of the results as much as google does. They appear very low, sometimes even not on the first page of 10 re

Realisation of "no thoughts" meditation might come only afterwards

Here is something I experienced a couple of hours ago and though I might have to edit this text, I wanted to share it already to anyone interested in meditation, especially the "no thoughts" meditation as I call it now. As usual, it contains some on-first-sight contradictions that really aren't if you think it through. If you know me, you might still not be used to it, but at least you're warned now. :-) I hope once to create a meditation youtube channel and you might catch the edited version then. Here I go... When you are meditating on "just being", "not thinking" -or at least the one I experienced once, near Oeiras, Portugal, august 2017- and when you reach it, you won't realize it on that moment, because I suppose that would mean you just lost it because realizing is some way of thinking, or at least losing your focus.  But you  might realize it after your meditation. At least that is what I did then. Don't worry, you will still en

Able to abandon

One that is not able to abandon anything, will fail to bring about any change. Something that I got from the anime "Attack on Titan". Found it very beautiful and I myself am not completely able to abandon anything..Working on it! I have in the past, but apparently it was not a permanent ability. (I think it's misplaced in the general ethics of the anime, more or less, but yeah..)

The meaning of life

Life, the meaning thereof? God, 42, redemption, the hereafter..? First let's live & love and talk about it after.. Notes:  Humor intended! Nonetheless, the clue of the real meaning I aim for, lies in the same last phrase..  42, what? -> http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/42
I'm a buddhist & a nihilist, an empiricist & idealistic fantasist, a nerd & an anarchist, a thinker & a slapstick winker, a square & a dare, ... Putting people in a box IS being trapped inside a box!

Let it (not) be

For 5 months I wished to write a resistance version of " Let it be " from The Beatles , because every time I sing it, I feel there is something wrong with it *. First 5 months was a disaster! "The Doors" and "Curt Cobain" kept making me rape Mother Mary, and although that's strong language to start a resistance, it sounded a bit too wrong..This and other dead roads kept it to only 3 words all that time! :-) Today: All words came at once! YES! Chords are like the normal version, but I advice one change in vocals. See bottom. I hope you enjoy this version of "Let it be"! Let it (not just) be! When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Poison comes to me, urging me to drea-eam and let it be. And in my hour of wakings, she is standing right in front of me, shrieking words of authority: Let it be! Let us sleep, let us sleep, let us sheep, let us sheep, buying things of promise: Let it be. And we're the broken harted peo
