The true, the good, and the beautiful are of God; their opposites are the lack of the good, therefore are evil. We must maintain or recover our awe at the beauty and wonder of the world, the world that was created for us. We are cocreators when we use are talents and creativity to contribute to these. We must find the child in us and be filled with wonder and gratitude. Best to you Gary.
I began writing semi-professionally in 2004. It was a business leadership column for my local paper. I had to learn to write with an economy of words. Later I began to write longer pieces. In 2018, i published my first book. I’ve been writing full time ever sense. The beauty of my experience is to see my own development first hand. It amazes and humbles me. It is analogous to what you write here. Thanks.
Proverbs 20:29 “The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.” Beauty is wisdom. Thanks for sharing beauty in this crass and vile time in history.
Gary, I agree with what you have written in this substack. I am a retired family nurse practitioner. I have always had to base my care on the “science”. But there were more than a few times I questioned the “science”. I must remember to show gratitude and appreciation for everything my loved ones and I have in our lives. Show more kindness to my fellow man. Live out this life with integrity but keep questioning the narrative which continues to be “off” like a piece of food left too long in the fridge.
The knowledge of good and evil is a human construct. Animals simply follow their programmed instincts that help them survive. Humans have twisted these values into methods that help one group survive more than others. We know this as ideological or religious supremacy.
At the base level, I don't think good and evil exist as separate values. Only in the minds of men does this dualism rear its head, but it becomes very real beyond that level of existence. The people running this show are extremely evil, and yet among their own, they strongly believe that they are delivering us from our own "evil" ways.
The human race became mentally ill a long time ago!
So beautifully expressed and fully resonant for me. Of course. And what a perfect backdrop of understanding to consider the atrocity we call health-care in our world now? How disconnected have we become when we submit to a system that can't even figure out the basics of care (sunlight, beauty, frequency, kindness, nutrition) even when we know what actually makes us feel better? Now to such a contorted extent we freely offer our precious bodies like guinea pigs.
"If he substitutes for his cry of revolt a frantic adherence, at once he is led to blind himself to the absurd which hitherto enlightened him and to deify the only certainty he henceforth possesses, the irrational " " Thus it is that,through a strained subterfuge, he gives the irrational the appearance and God the attributes of the absurd: unjust, incoherent and incomprehensible. Intelligence alone in him strives to stifle the underlying demands of the human heart,since nothing is proved, everything can be proved"- Albert Camus- the myth of Sisyphus.
I realised today that the hydras heads are too many to take on in most ways. The angle that I am formulating is to inform the thrall and slave hydras that they will be sacrificed, not saved by the top hydras. Their agenda does not include lesser beings or too much competition.
People like bill Gates, Claus shwab and prime ministers, pharmaceutical CEOs are just corrupted or blackmailed nerds and hall monitors and just going to be used as scapegoats and fodder.
These functional arms are dispensable.
There is only a limited space at the top and only so many seats on musk's space exit the world ship.
We have to inform these lesser beings that their superiors have plans to kill them.
Just like the Pharisees killed anyone who work on or constructed the inner tombs and hidden tunnels.
CAN WE INFORM THE MID LEVEL HYDRAS THAT THEY WILL BE KILLED?
ULTIMATELY ALL THESE CORRUPT MORONS WILL be killed or KILL THEMSELVES.
Animals have no ideological aspirations or dogma that they push. We, as humans, admire them for this but also pity them for the same reason. Having contempt. Animals only have their senses & their bodies (mind & matter) to navigate life. It is sufficient & they express gratitude despite the suffering inherent in life. For humans, in the time of testing, we tend to default to defending or rationalising the narratives or ideologies that promise to fulfill our aspirations, that form our "identity" or "personality view" or "atta" that the Buddha talked about- ego, soul etc. These "mental contents" are our constant companions & inheritance or legacy unless they can be sloughed being seen as apostates to the grace inherent within nature, within us. We are "reality soldiers", casting the rotten corpses of the patriarchal bodies of "knowledge" onto the sacrificial bonfire, as vanity.
Gary, this was, indeed, and inspired and inspiring original post that immediately caught my attention. You are on point here! I would only add that we have been mass-programmed for more than a century with this inverted, perverted, death-cult crap. We must admit that we were weak enough to succumb to it, but know in our hearts that none of this is truly our fault.
After that, if anyone continues to commit atrocities upon humanity and Mother Earth — and especially the children — then they have no redress in the Divine Realm.
Change is required as one traverses the narrow path of Divine Order.
I am wondering, what is the beautiful and elegant and simple solution to the current world situation? SERIOUS QUESTION. YOUR THOUGHTS VERY WELCOME.
Then, unlike you, I have always (since childhood) known that there is right and wrong, good and bad. For me, a huge awareness of something being massively wrong came in about 2005-2006, when my students (college level) came in, convinced of something utterly illogical and anti-factual, that all opinions are equal. If it interests you, I did a short (3 min) video on the experience: https://truthsummit.info
Wonderfully put Gary, I literally could not have put it better myself, as you know, being a consumer of my own efforts 😁. The elegance and humility that you bring to these most divisive issues is refreshing. I have been trying to write more objectively of late, but the problem is that my inspiration seems stronger when something has riled me.

Gary Sharpe says; "When I was still an academic scientist, I found that, more often than not, the right answer ended up being a most simple and elegant explanation. There was very often a certain beauty to the solution. Meanwhile, the need for highly convoluted, tortured arguments..."
"It seems I understood, even back then, that beauty and grace is an intrinsic part and parcel of the universe, and more-over, we humans are able to sense, and tune-in to this."
All well stated, and I think very true. The "highly tortured" writing of some "experts" wrongly resonates in the mind reading them, if that mind is searching for understanding, for truths. When I first began reading on sites like "Climate Audit" and certain more political sites, I would on occasion encounter this "Highly tortured" writing. Initially I thought I was just slow on the uptake. I would on occasion, read, and then reread. I eventually understood, these were often the most lettered, using paragraphs to make one tortured point, and clearly they had been taught to write this way. The frustrated not understanding feeling I found, was because the words meant and added nothing, and the essential message conveyed was often simply wrong or trivial. The paragraphs were a kind of shell, protecting the flawed reasoning hidden within the verbosity. ( I found most of Obama's talks, especially in any of the rare times he actually received a difficult question, to be like this.)
However the positive side of your post is very uplifting. "...beauty and grace is an intrinsic part and parcel of the universe, and more-over, we humans are able to sense, and tune-in to this."
It has been said that intrinsic truth when comprehended vibrates "pure feeling, and pure intellect, are both intuitive and become one." the heart and brain resonate and recognize it. I am working on a post you may enjoy. The title - "Is the inability of science to solve life's Mystery absolute? I will not reveal my answer yet, but within it this is stated...
"Science now admits that all the information in the cosmos, must be there from the beginning. Whether one accepts the Big Bang, or Multi verse or steady state, it does not matter. All the energy or power, all the information eventually manifest, always was. Just as energy is neither created or destroyed, the same with information. Sometimes when a new truth is comprehended, the very nerves in the body thrill, these goose-bumps are somehow truth known, convincing to the very atoms! Who knows an orange better, the scientist that has never eaten one, measuring it with a dozen experiments, or the hungry overheated man enjoying eating it.
The heart and brain are connected, and science is I think just touching on this understanding. One can calm the heart, by calming the mind, mediation, affirmation, etc, and one can calm the mind by calming the heart, and feeding the calm heart into the brain. The connection in electrical energies and even more subtle energies flowing between heart and brain is just starting to be touched by science. The role of the vagus nerve is just being touched.
I think your work is a part of this advance. Neuroplasticity is a part of this. This man's work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuOvn4UqznU is a part of this. It has been said that "Pain is a prod to remembrance" Perhaps the silver lining in the COVID storm of misery will be a mass exodus from the corrupted institutions, and to these advances in over all holistic healing of the mind, brain heart and soul.
Maybe all we have to do is let it be known Gary. They are reading/ tracking substack as the primary dissident forum. They will either break ranks or they won't. The big players just don't want there compartmentalized pawns knowing the whole plan.
