Good and Evil

I found this interesting piece about the nature of good and evil. I am back in a reading wave about physics , metaphysics and spiritual themes.

Do I agree with the excerpt?? Not necessarily. The author goes on to state the theories about evil proclaimed by psychiatrist M. Scott Peck. Don’t we all pose this question to our inner self sometimes? Is there a clear answer? I suppose we must all take a stand and arrive at our own personal decision, for me this is a fluid state of mind from day to day, from moment to moment; we are all confronted with the nature of evil and good in many little and no so little ways every day. How we react to the evil within and out shapes our state of mind regarding evil. Or all the way around. It is not what we belief that is important, but how we react and act, every day.

Dilapidated Art Gallery

This is a dream. for lack of anyhting interesting to relate.

gallery dream

 

I was inside a very dilapidated house and it was been used as an art gallery. I noticed that the art was mostly text in artsy form and next to dilapidated closets and bathrooms. I get to a hall, that looks exactly like the hall that leads to the bedrooms in my house. I shout to my mother: ” This is the house, mom.” And I proceed to the hall. It is in better conditions and looks exactly as my house’s layout. Some art is hanging on these walls also.

In this drawing, the hall is behind the door and making a right would take me to the “dilapidated gallery”. I wonder, Oh my God, if this dream relates to my “dilapidated” sketches!!! ha, ha, ha… I would no be surprised, but I take life lightly.

Belief

I have been reacquainted with an old friend who I did not know was an atheist.

But he does not just NOT believe in A god, but does not believe that there is any life after death, nor that we have a spirit and challenges any belief I have in this sense.

I like having conversations with people that differ completely from my opinions, that is how I get other perspectives. What I don’t understand is the people that want only to hear what they already think they know or believe.

I looked at another friend’s bio and found out that he is also atheist, but I have never had conversations with him about God. Am I a magnet for this??? I can understand many of their propositions and try to remain open to the many positions that they send my way, but something in me tells me there is a God and there is more than what we can perceive with our senses. I hope these conversations are of great help to exercise my mind and hers, but notice that whatever people believe is richly engrained in them and difficult to change. Ah, belief!!! How that happens? How we acquire it?

Cooling Down

MUJER DE ESPALDA

And it is getting cooler now. Below 90 is “cooler” here. I apply heat and cold to my back every day and it seems to behave for a while then the tingling pain begins again. I am recycling, then, old sketches, not in the mood for drawing. I have done some logos, though.

Here is one. I like doing logos.

Hot!

SIMI MOTORA

It’s warm, really warm in California and it shows. bikers with sleeveless shirts flying by you, people in shorts; when i go outside it seems i am going to sophocate. i feel as if my skin was scorching, it itches and dries by the second. record highs. I look through my office window and think of hotter places. I can imagine hell.

it seems the heat provokes laziness, i have not done much during the last portion of spring –which wa slike another summer–and the current “offcicial” summer. the AC cold inside is sometimes too much and i use a sweater inside my home; better than having to wear shorts and sleeveless outside. I don’t like sleeveless. I don’t like the glare in my eyes and the sun reflections from metallic and bright places. I do not like the vapor-like sensation and not finding air.It’s really hot. Some fires have started in northern California. Our grass is turning yellow and i hope the fires can be controlled. I wish for a fire free summer.
