Kristin Bauer Instagram – This man has led a very unusual life and writes about it so well with such depth. I appreciate his feed so much. Man lives in a mind dominated world, where the mind is in the drivers seat, and we sit with our hearts in the back of the bus not even knowing where we are, what we are, much less who we Truly are.

Compelling ourselves by law to be superficially good and healthy has manifest more problems than solutions. Technologies like penicillin, dams, plastics, DDT, CFCs, nuclear power, industrial farming, and air travel have improved our lives immeasurably, but are taking away our basic freedoms. A tree isn’t made of wood, it is wood. We are the same. We have been interfering with a complex system of relationships that we don’t understand. The more we study and model ecological systems, the more their true nature eludes us.

We have discovered that by watching an atom we change its behaviour and by observing galaxies they run away from us…? (Continued in comments 👇👇👇)
