Hiroshima Day has come and gone now NagasakiDay approaches. On Hiroshima Day I learned of thediscussions that have been going on for eighty percentof the Gina Rhineharts 8 billion tonnes of Alpha

thermal coal to be traded to Indias power &infrastructure billionaire GV Krishna Reddys GVKGroup, for about a dollar per tonne.

Why the spirit has me in this situation remains amystery.

What is a conservative anyway? What is aprogressive? Whatever these two are, whatever aliberal is or a leftist, or the right, they are termsthat define a group mind or group identities based onthat mind or mentality.

The spirit inspires autonomous reasoning persons

who proceed according to empiricist scientific methodsand not according to any group mind. To belong toa group identity such as a conservative or a liberal, aCatholic or a Green, a communist, a Buddhist, aMuslim, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or asocialist, is to identify with some formula or set ofprinciples that define a group-mind according todogma rather than science. All groups of these kinds

are groups which have group-minds controlled by asmall (minority) group of dominant persons whodecide what the group-mind IS, and a much larger(majority) group who conform, obey and follow.

An authentic Hellenic Ionian Apollonian scientificphilosopher is guided directly & intuitively by the(divine) spirit, not by any formulas or sets ofprinciples decided by some dominant human minoritywho reserve to themselves the role of shaping thegroup-mind. 1

What is this intuitive guidance by the spirit really? Inone sense, since the spirit is absolutely free, theexperience of intuitive guidance by the spirit does not

and cannot follow any particular rule, formula orprinciple, all the time, so that the spirit can guideanywhere and to anything, and yet, the spirit isfundamentally good, true and beautiful.

Truth, Goodness and Beauty are defining spiritualattributes.

Once I begin speaking-writing about spiritual geniusguiding me via intent, I find that it is not easy andperhaps not even possible to avoid apparent glaringcontradictions.

The notion of consistency is inconsistent with absolute

freedom and the spirit is beyond any limitations,especially limitations imposed by human minds

especially those pretentious human minds ofdeciders, filled with illusions delusions ofgrandeur megalomania.

An enlightened person, who has experiencedawakening of awareness of divine genius ispurposeless and useless but not in the negativepejorative way that these words usually are meantwhen applied to humans. A purposeless and uselessperson is usually considered to be of the least andmost diminished value; primitive and barbaric. Anenlightened person is conversely, of the highestpossible value, the most civil and most highly evolved,aware and intelligent, precisely because of their easyaccess to divine genius. Such a person cannot be

usedby any human, especially by humans who arenot enlightened and are not aware of the reality ofdivine genius. Purpose is linked to desire and anenlightened person is desireless because all desires arerealized-fulfilled-completed in the experience oftransformation of the self that occurs when divinegenius is awakened that is in the experience of

supreme spiritual enlightenment. To be purposelessand useless, at first glance, appears to be anunfortunate state, but not when it is understood that aperson who experiences fulfilment of the spiritualpurpose of awakening of the original complete selfnature via realization of divine genius is the mostfortunate because they have fulfilled their life purpose

divine being via enlightenment by unification of thecognitive fragments which constitute the immature selfnature that is by realization of integral (divine immortal) being.

It is not always easy being useless and purposeless.The spirit always (with exception continuously)guides so it is not as though there is ever nothing todo there is always an abundance of activity. What itis, is that it is not always clear why the spirit isguiding you to pick caterpillars off trees for God touse the useless D.T. Suzukis quote2from Eckhart. Iliken the experiences of spiritually realized persons aslike hiking on a trail in the dark with only the terrainwhere the next step is to be taken is well enough

illuminated for me to see my destination. Thisexperience has been described as like leaping into theabyss it requires great faith great trust in thepower of divine genius.

When I was writing this paragraph immediately above,I was guided by the divine genius to take a look at

Nobel Laureate Paul Krugmans blog. When I read hislatest post I was already in that familiar state ofactivity brought on by the guidance of divine geniusrather than the usual method humans practice reasoning and analysis to scrutinize alternatives andchoose among them. Temporarilly at least I becameengaged in what appears to be purposeful but it is only

an appearance. The purpose was felt with greatconviction taking action to seek the guidance of

Yes, officially the recession ended two yearsago, and the economy did indeed pull out of aterrifying tailspin. But at no point has growthlooked remotely adequate given the depth ofthe initial plunge. In particular, whenemployment falls as much as it did from 2007 to

2009, you need a lot of job growth to make upthe lost ground. And that just hasnt happened.The Wrong WorriesPAUL KRUGMANAugust 4, 2011

Ive been reading about the origins of the Tea Party identity

group and took special notice of two histories in particular

which make the claim that the Tea Party phenomenon2

Eckhart naturally refers everything to God though his Godsomewhat resembles Saichi's "Namu-amida-butsu." We

"creatures" as coming from God just follow his will "sono-

mama," and have nothing to say, good or bad, as to what we do.

If I take this for the Christian understanding of fura-fura-ness,

will Christians be offended?

Eckhart has a strange but interesting question in this

connection:

A question is raised about those angels who live with us, serving

and guarding us, as to whether or not they have less joy in

identity than the angels in heaven and whether they are

hindered at all in their [proper] activities by serving and

guarding us. No! Not at all! Their joy is not diminished, nor their

equality, because the angel's work is to do the will of God and

the will of God is the angel's work. If God told an angel to go to atree and pick off the caterpillars, the angel would be glad to do

it and it would be bliss to him because it is God's will.6?
