Aphorism 25

Those that gain exceptional profits transacting and perpetuating the human outward go bankrupt in the realm of the human inward and non-human outward.

 

 

 

Aphorism 22

What do the wisemen mean by looking inward?  What do they expect us to find?  I don’t know the answer, but my best guess is that it is a means to find the will to carve a different path from that of the general mis-guided momentum of the human outward.  

Aphorism 21

Our wisest men have all told us to look inward.  They also told us to contemplate death, the universe, and eternity.  But, not one of our wisest men ever told us to look to god or the human outward for answers to the most important questions.  

Aphorism 19

The human outward, at this point in time, is defined and driven by profit, entertainment, convenience, and delusion.  Delusion is a polite word relative to some alternative descriptors: stupidity, insanity, and ignorance.

Aphorism 17

The human outward has accomplished the following: built an infrastructure to support 8 billion humans.  A large number don’t enjoy an easy or fruitful life, but the infrastructure enables them to plod along.   But this is nothing to beat our chests over.  Ants have us beat in both numbers and longevity. And the ants don’t spoil the earth, water, and air.

Aphorism 16

The higher worth of the human inward compared to the human outward has been proven throughout man’s short existence by the exceptional and extraordinary composers, poets, scientists, and philosophers.  These extraordinary individuals had the courage and intellectual capacity to better align their human inward with the non-human outward despite the immense pressure and mis-guided momentum of the human outward.  

Aphorism 15

How do I know the human inward is more valuable than the general human outward?  Because even my human inward can sense how misaligned the human outward is relative to the non-human outward.  And my human inward is far from extraordinary or exceptional.

Aphorism 14

Man attributes wealth to gold, diamonds, and paper money.  One day man will realize rocks and paper are worthless relative to clean water, pure air, and a healthy flourishing Earth.  

Aphorism 13

The human outward has created so many “isms” that don’t have any connection to the human inward or non-human outward.  Man created communism, socialism, capitalism.  Man created taoism, buddhism, and judaism.  But the most misleading of all isms was that called humanism.  As such, the best rebuttal to this folly of isms was a term created by the great poet and philosopher Robinson Jeffers — “In-humanism”.

Aphorism 12

Man often speaks of wealth creation.  Man’s wealth consists of earth, sun, water and air.  How can he create more wealth when these key elements already exist?  If anything he only decreases his wealth by depositing his fecal matter in the water, spewing his exhaust into the air, and dumping his waste on the earth.
