Globalove Think Tank

I dream of a Star Trek world. This think tank will focus on creative actions
designed to initiate a global paradigm shift towards a world where racism, poverty
and war will be a thing of the past.

Werner’s Wisdom

I expect 
 
you expect 
 
they expect 
 
we all expect
 
why expect ? 

 
When you expect 
 
you allow others 
 
to determine the hour 
 
of your happiness
 
 
Change “expect” to “want” 
 
and now it is up to you
 
not others
 
to attain your happiness
 
 
There is no past 
 
there is no future 
 
there is only the eternal now
 
 
There are only two levels above death 
 
acceptance and sharing
 
 
And remember 
 
when it comes to life 
 
take what you get 
 
or take responsibility 
 
and make all your dreams come true 
 
that’s what I did 
 
and so can you
 

Women and cats

Women and cats will do as they please, 
and men and dogs should relax 
and get used to the idea.

a radical revolution of the mind

The Revelation

death in the midst of life

Cry The Tears

I listen for Truth

For truth speaks softly

It is not boastful nor proud

Truth whispers low

Solemn quiet

It wraps around

Like Smoke

Subtle and free

Truth Knows no Boundaries

No limits Truth Speaks

From within

Not without

It floats In the spaces

Of dreams

It is not angry or vengeful

Truth simply is

It cannot Be hidden

Nor disguised Truth

Shines Like iridescent Dew

It rests Within Your heart

Of hearts Truth

Unchanged Living

The promise

As it was so

It shall Be

Cry The Tears

20 things we should say more often

be still

“To the mind that is still,
the whole universe surrenders.”

Peace is prized above victory

silence is consent

god’s wine


Behold the rain which descends

from heaven upon our vineyards,

there it enters the roots of the vines,

to be changed into wine,

a constant proof that God loves us,

and loves to see us happy.

Benjamin Franklin.

Genjo Koan

first verse –

“As all things are buddha-dharma, there is delusion and realization, practice, and birth and death, and there are buddhas and sentient beings.

As the myriad things are without an abiding self, there is no delusion, no realization, no buddha, no sentient being, no birth and death.

The buddha way is, basically, leaping clear of the many and the one; thus there are birth and death, delusion and realization, sentient beings and buddhas.

Yet in attachment blossoms fall, and in aversion weeds spread.”

Genjo Koan is perhaps the best known section of Eihei Dogen’s masterwork, Shobogenzo (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye).


道元禅師

“(lit. ‘Treasury of the True Dharma Eye‘) The term Shōbōgenzō has three main usages in Buddhism: (1) It can refer to the essence of the Buddha’s realization and teaching, that is, to the Buddha Dharma itself, as viewed from the perspective of Mahayana Buddhism, (2) it is the title of a koan collection with commentaries by Dahui Zonggao, and (3) it is used in the title of two works by Dogen Kigen…”

The Fall of Adam and Eve

The Fall (1467-68)
Hugo van der Goes

“You will not surely die,”
the serpent said to the woman.
“For God knows that when you eat
of it your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil.”

Genesis 3:4-5

The Antikythera mechanism


The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient mechanical calculator (also described as the first known mechanical computer) designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was recovered in 1900–01 from the Antikythera wreck, but its complexity and significance were not understood until decades later. It is now thought to have been built about 150–100 BC. Technological artifacts of similar complexity did not reappear until the 14th century, when mechanical astronomical clocks appeared in Europe.

Professor Michael Edmunds of Cardiff University who led the most recent study of the mechanism said: “This device is just extraordinary, the only thing of its kind. The design is beautiful, the astronomy is exactly right. The way the mechanics are designed just makes your jaw drop. Whoever has done this has done it extremely carefully…in terms of historic and scarcity value, I have to regard this mechanism as being more valuable than the Mona Lisa.” (read more)

What You Don’t Know

Those who control the present…

And those who control the past…

(1469-1527)

The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania

Therefore the winds, piping to us in vain,
As in revenge, have suck’d up from the sea
Contagious fogs; which falling in the land
Have every pelting river made so proud
That they have overborne their continents:
The ox hath therefore stretch’d his yoke in vain,
The ploughman lost his sweat, and the green corn
Hath rotted ere his youth attain’d a beard;
The fold stands empty in the drowned field,
And crows are fatted with the murrion flock;
The nine men’s morris is fill’d up with mud,
And the quaint mazes in the wanton green
For lack of tread are undistinguishable:
The human mortals want their winter here;
No night is now with hymn or carol blest:
Therefore the moon, the governess of floods,
Pale in her anger, washes all the air,
That rheumatic diseases do abound:
And thorough this distemperature we see
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts
Far in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
And on old Hiems’ thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as in mockery, set: the spring, the summer,
The childing autumn, angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world,
By their increase, now knows not which is which:
And this same progeny of evils comes
From our debate, from our dissension;
We are their parents and original.

(Act 2, Scene 1000)

(Art by, Joseph Noel Paton 1850)

A Little Bit of Wisdom

The right time to show your good character is when you are pestered by somebody weaker than you.

-Buddha

What is Truth anyway??

Believe those who seek the truth; doubt those who find it.
