Progress is inevitable.

Collaboration ... Experimentation...

First the one, then the two, then the ten-thousand things.

Monotheism, philosophical duality... and the Experience.  The infinitude of imagination made real in (none other than) waking dreams.

I saw an idealized flower symbol... floating in the sky... with gorgeous realism, but fantastical.  "SUR-real."  And I thought yes, it is like unto a dream (wouldn't you say?) ... all things being connected, all paths leading to the (infinite) center... yes, but of course.  The rose being the ultimate symbol of beauty... and perhaps harmony and concordance (that's beauty/harmony over time, see)  and Yes!  It must be.  Heaven on earth.  

Our collective dreaming fomenting into a symbol we can all agree on... peeling back the layers of potential to reveal at each interstice: it is actualized.  This simple declaration:  Heaven is not this impossible ideal to strive for.  No.  Heaven-on-Earth is the acceptance, nay the embracing, of what we have now. And if we can do that (no matter how hard it gets at times) Heaven is inevitable. Again. In our ability to strive for the arrival into (the continued journey through) a Heaven which - we never could've imagined how good it would be! Recognize how much of our Heaven is already here, relatively. And then extrapolate.

And... could you imagine an existence wherein technology and culture have out-evolved DREaMiNG altogether?!

WE HaVE it NoW!!!  It is... in the smallest indulgences of our whim, the simple pleasures, the delights of existing in THiS mind and body, THiS extrapolation of heavenly sophisticate sensorial and Sense-Surreal (uh-huh) magical fabrications and image-in-nations.

&& food and music and culture and the internet.

So.  Back to the mainstream.  Let's keep the symbol.  This is Rose City after all (Portland) but (stupid tulips) how can you not... look into the glass rose... and see the magic that is written on every parallel petal: variety being THE spice (THE spice?  Curious) THE spice of life.  

So it's like... we all come from this torrential firehose of cultural innocence and power.  We love the same comfort foods, the same pop songs, the same formative myths and color codes and "universal symbols" && you see where I am going with this.

Nahhh... There's no need to "break free" or anything.  It IS all connected.  Let us love & return to -- source, all the while seeking the radical (the extreme... the most recent novelty? The best & most wildly different expression of the core cult cult culture) .  YOUR radical.  Your favorite, alright?  As they say in Portland "You do you."

P.K.W.
