Welcome!
ONE VISION
Day and night, no difference.
The sun *is* the moon: An amalgam.
Their gold and silver melt together.
This is the season when
the dead branch and the green branch
are the same branch.
Nightmares fill with light like a holiday.
Humans and angels speak one language.
The elusive ones finally meet.
Good and evil, dead and alive,
everything blooms
from one natural stem.
You know this already, I'll stop.
Any direction you turn
it's one vision.
-- Rumi --

URGENT!
HUMAN BEINGS ARE CAUSING THE LARGEST MASS EXTINCTION
OF SPECIES OF LIFE ON EARTH SINCE THE AGE OF THE DINOSAURS.
FOR DETAILS VISIT MY WEB SITE MASS EXTINCTION UNDERWAY.
My
name is David Ulansey. I am a Professor in the
Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at the
California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, and before
I came to CIIS I taught at the University of California at Berkeley, Boston
University, Barnard College (Columbia University), the University of Vermont,
and Princeton University. My specialty is the religions of the ancient Mediterranean
world, especially the ancient Mystery religions, Gnosticism, ancient cosmology,
and early Christianity.
My publications have focused on the ancient mystery religion of Mithraism.

Havens, "Trying to Try"
It has been calculated
that Humanity is eighteen days of age,
basing this on the assumption that human beings
have existed for one million years,
and the earth may be habitable two billion more.
An infant that is eighteen days old
will cry when it is hungry or in pain,
and is able to follow a bright light with its eyes.....
