Aut0maTron

Yes !  The benefits of automation outweigh the risks, and we should continue to explore this form of technology within reason.  For myself, it would be fun to advance technologically in all facets and continue pushing the Green Movement.  For instance, technology that could help clean up the environment, as it already does, but improvements could definitely be made.  Imagine paying money to go into a portal that brings you to an exotic beach instantly for an evening and instantly back home after you were done relaxing an ready to go home to your bed.  Or, to have automated technology to further clean the damage done to the oceans more effectively,  technology that lets us explore the depths of the ocean, to fly in a spaceship for fun.  These examples are just a few of my personal wishes, but there is just so much that could potentially be done here!  "Improving things" and "exploring the unknown" are modern day mottos in our society afterall, right or wrong.  

However, we should be careful to both morally and ethically advance automated devices.  There are simply some things that are nice, like interacting with another human being.  So, we need to continue to have jobs, school programs, grocery stores, and telephone calls, among other things that involve human interaction.  Machines are here to make our world run more efficiently and effectively, but we would have a problem if we started to developing strong emotional bonds with the machines that are serving us!  Additionally, it would be and is immoral to use automated technology to cause mass destruction or war.

An important and essential safeguard that should be built into any automated program is an 0n/0ff button that can be pushed by a human hand, for sometimes even the most advanced technology malfunctions.

I am Nowhere

I am nowhere all at once
I am everywhere all at once
I am everywhere
Nowhere all at once
I am everywhere but nowhere
Everywhere all at once

I am all at once
I am all
I am
I am everywhere
Everywhere but nowhere
Everywhere
Nowhere
But
All at once

The Goddess Mary

Mother Mary gave birth to the Earth planet's greatest Saint, Savior, enlightened being Jesus Christ.

Mary's has a close association with the Earth planet due to her works here, so I envision her energy as a guardian of Nature, a protector of the land and creatures.

I also see Mary in her virginal state, in white robes, embodying a young priestess, self sacrificing and pure.

Mary at her most exalted takes on the role of Mother. Her spirit is representative of an all compassionate being who will wipe away both our blood an tears, consoling all in their darkest, deepest moments. Mary is Mother and is there for us unconditionally.

Mary has been evoked in hopes of bringing balance back to the planet after a reign of the overly patriarchal view that we are finally shifting away from.

Going through the very layered and time oriented steps that were involved in the process of putting this Mosaic together, Brooke and I have conjured the energy of the powerful spirit that is Mary in hopes of evoking those higher states of planetary love an healing.

The Priestess

The Goddesses face is amorous
She carries a stick within hand
Gracefully slim
Raven hair
Scarlett robes
She is dear to him

She lives in the hill
By the movement of her face
She attracts her Lord

Just by her glance
She attracts everyone
Freshly youthful
Fully grownup
Desirable

Charming as gold
Her face is golden like the Moon
Her lower lip is the half Moon
Moon-like
Child-like
Mysterious as the night.

Night Marchers

Somo
Dust me over
With your moonshine
So bright
I rest here
By the Oceanside
Tonite

The waves are gentle
Caressing the rock-worn shore
The tide marches further down low

Sitting back against the cliff
Sinking into grainy sand
No other human in sight
Red Sands Beach
My bedroom for the night

The stars wink
Billions speckled in the blackened sky
Their wandering eyes
Hold mystic secrets
That mortal minds seldom comprehend

Stories of cosmic forces
Of the gods at play
Of histories long passed away

Of these matters, for us
Only residues get left behind
Instant replay
Left in time

Subtle impressions
An example of such
Are the night marchers
Who stalk the quiet night
All alone on this beach
I hear their music tonite

They roar through the jungle
With fire in their eyes
Drumbeats in their hearts
Footsteps wild
Protecting their homeland
The Ina
From their enemies

The chanting of the ancients
Rhythmic tribal sounds
Echoes off the Cliff side
Spiraling down

Watch shivering flesh
I try to show no fear
But am aware of the reality
That the marchers may come near

If they do
Those proud spirits
Never look em in the eye
But bow down low to the ground
Stay there to pay your respects
And let them march on by

For even in death
The warrior remains alive
Hawaiian ghosts immortalized

Dying is the Goal

Dying is the goal
Love of God
Give us portents, causes
Ritualistic ceremonies
Thoughts are clear
Each soul seeker guides
Humility, trust, self-respect, loyalty
Beautiful Transcendental Bliss
Distractions will Gorgonize the soul
Sin shortens life
Time traveled, unlimited less lifetimes
Ineffectual
We are trying to be transcendental
Self efficient, effulgent
No one escapes from Maya
But they can be liberated
Natant in the
Nectar of Immortality
