Musing, while walking beside the river Thames: Sanskrit - 'dark river', it probably meant dirty river, before it was censored.

Buddha was wrong. The contrast I see around me, changing with every step I take. What is the point of Nirvana without the experience? If one truly wishes 'Nirvana' (Sanskrit: extinction) desire it fervently & achieve it upon death.

Dictionary: 'The permanent end of life'. Comment: Of that particular human form per se. Nirvana? A terrible mix-up. End the blend! Remaining an individual is the only way to experience 'the whole'. Becoming homogenized is no way to experience your soul.

Its getting late. Time is a rocket. Zoom! Its gone. The next time I view a recording of Armstrong & Aldrin on the moon I'll slow my recording of it and perhaps finally see stars on the lunar horizon. Stars are fireworks, not a continuous level shine. They flare. The lunar horizon is unlike that of a city on earth where the skyline is hazed by city lights. The contrast on the moon was a stark black & white.

The New York Times once claimed: 'A rocket will not work in space because there is nothing for the rocket to push against.'

Obviously not familiar with Newton's Laws of Motion. (not explanations.)
If someone at the office had reduced the 'push' to two marbles & imagined a spark placed between them they would have seen those two marbles fly in opposite directions. If force moved only in one direction a person would be unharmed standing on the opposite side of a barrel of gunpowder & dropping a lighted match into the barrel. One thought leads to another. "The Capuchin monkey makes simple tools. In captivity they exchange coloured counters for food having learnt the value of each counter," Orangutans paddle boats on water. Observe how very hairy some humans are; how children love to climb; how some women call to their offspring: "come here you little monkey." A gorilla will pull your head down until its lower than his.

Psychologist Dr. Michael Stone's category of evil people. Top of the list is "John Wayne Gacy Jr. American business man who buried 29 victims under his house. Other serial killers murdered more people but Gacy subjected his victims, including children, to prolonged torture before killing them. Gacy was convicted of 33 murders & given a lethal injection in 1980. Not forgetting Gary Heidnik who tortured his victims & put them in a blender with dog food forcing his other victims to eat it.

David Parker Ray had friends helping him to torture, including his own daughter to help in the torture chamber. Police say he murdered at least 40 people of various ages."

Rob a bank or deal in drugs & be apprehended in no time. Some psychopaths walk free from the courthouse, see 'Wolfcreek.' A docudrama about another weirdo. Governments are as bad: 'Rendition'. Traits of a psychopath: --"Superficial charm, glib speech, lack of remorse."

"The sun has always been getting hotter." Good! Life? Here today gone tomorrow. Another cannibal who walked free: "Sagawa. A japanese student who went to Paris to study & began tearing the flesh from another student with his bare hands to put in his mouth. Sagawa is now living at home in Japan & growing rich describing his penchant for human flesh on lecture tours & DVD." Psychiatrists/psychologists said he was unfit to plead. Sagawa still admits his craving for human flesh. He remains free & unsupervised."

Harker (English). Police found the torso of one of his victims. Harker claimed he ate the rest. Up for parole in 2012.

Winners and losers: Conquerors are as bad. Auschwitz in Poland "where children were experimented on, even had their limbs amputated without anaesthetic,"

Cannabilism & slavery has always existed. Black slaves? When Rome conquered they shipped the whites back to Rome where they were forced to fight to death in the arena, or used as galley slaves, chained to the oar, so if the ship sank in battle they would go down with it. Slaves were also crucified & set on fire to light the roads at night." And church inquisitions 1232/1820. "Honduras - Police kill poor children who roam the streets, encouraged by wealthy adults who label children 'vermin.' Police cruise the shantytowns in police cars shooting children in the back & in the head."

Would I reproduce? Not with this species.

Newsreaders: " Armed police & troops are beating & arresting pro-democracy demonstrators."
Newsreaders should say: "Armed robots are beating and arresting pro-democracy demonstrators." Still, newsreaders are robots. Most radio stations seem to install the same type of automaton.

The river is breathing heavy & I am light on my feet as I walk home under a high sky feeling the cool, clean wind on my face boosting my energy levels. Thames, oh Thames, it hems us in, the raucous crowding city. Flow softly down through London town & I will steal down with thee. Thames, oh Thames, it's them & us. We'll sail on together. Before we reach the sea, swear thus naught shall part us, ever.
Sail on with you ---- rather than with people.

Have people no shame? No guilty conscience when they brainwash children into believing a particular religion? I know from experience how easy it is to be brainwashed. When I attended church as a young boy & gazed up at the statues with such devotion in my eyes, people who saw me were so impressed they told my parents. Now I feel ashamed for having been so easily led by bible punchers. If I had not read books and thought for myself I would still be kneeling before a chalk statue with mindless adoration in my eyes. Trust the intelligentsia to put me right? I don't think so: "In the 1970's scientists from the Royal Astronomical Society advised the British Government not to spend money on rockets and space exploration because there would be no commercial or scientific gain from a space programme." But France & other countries saw the potential in space satellite telecommunications, etc.
Think for yourself. Einstein: "Imagination is greater than knowledge."

Many years ago I bought a popular music magazine. A couple of its pages showed readers how to understand basic notation, As a result I wrote a few tunes, I'll include one of them here as my swan song & call it 'City Lights' - not the title I gave it originally but it suits my present purpose.

Although I've had one brief letter consisting of just two sentences in the eight years of my website asking if my website is meant to enlighten I'm really not bothered. My reason for thinking & putting those thoughts on paper since my late twenties was to occupy my mind. It saved me from marriage & having children. So, here is a large portion of the tune & a small portion of the lyric:

P.S.
Memento Mori.
There is no individual playing God. Everyone should have a vote postmortem. That's a good idea!
Unlike life in England where people are not allowed to vote on major issues, this undemocratic one-party police state where even television may try to influence the people through subliminal imagery or, in a less subtle way, through 'entertainment'. For example, watch a 'soap', notice when a character on screen mentions a sex act (a normal sex act) the camera will show another character in the same scene wrinkle his nose in disgust. The easily influenced viewer may thus be persuaded to eschew such a sex act. Most celebs don't care: 'I'm on television. A nice little earner. So, fuck you!' Do not be controlled by the rich. Ruling class, the Paul Prys & Keyhole Kates - The Establishment. Its members may have university degrees (many acquired parrot fashion) but they have simple minds. Their hunger for wealth and power signifies such. Simple minds! Takes all sorts, like "the founder of Scientology who ran off with his best friends life savings."

Flicking around the TV channels the other day I heard a young boy say on a soap: "Jesus is the son of God. Joseph was just his stepdad." Its sad when children so young are manipulated by members of the Anglican Church. A church founded by a bloated megalomaniac - the serial killer. Henry Tudor.

Crystal Ball (metaphysical).
For the future to exist, destiny would have to exist. Freedom? Wherever one goes one will be subject to climate; gravity; hunger, and so on. Omnipotence is not desirable.
The future remains unpredictable because it is impossible for an individual to calculate.. Existence chaotic or reasonable? Describe 'pure chance' - a life of suffering? "Why am I punished every day? I didn't sin every day."

The universe is a reservoir of emotion. Soon to be stirred vigorously by the government giving the go-ahead for animal/human hybridization. We will have freaks reading the news on television. No worse than some of the people on television at the moment! If a celebrity appears on a 'chatshow' & delivers a warranted critique, especially aimed at a pretentious aristocrat, no other 'celeb' on the show will even nod their approval. How sad those 'celebs' must feel at the end of their life when they admit to themselves that they never expressed a genuine opinion for fear of jeopardizing their money-making career. People are sick with the love of money. Or punch-drunk from the bible. Scientists once thought, some still do, that Jews knew everything because they were 'the chosen people' therefore God told them everything. Politicians thought the same, even to prime. Some still do. Trust politicians? Who really rules this country? Don't they read? Religions copy from other religions. Buddha, B.C. walked on water; Jesus Christ walked on water.
Osiris, Egypt. B.C. was resurrected to save the world, his body & blood, bread & Nile water. Mithras, B.C. Pagan sun god, ritual meal, bread & wine, birthday December 25th (Christmas), and so on.

If talent is given give it back. Because it would make the giver God & the receiver just a puppet.

P.P.S. Newspaper report: 'The sole survivor of Princess Diana's car crash told a friend that if he, the bodyguard, made public his knowledge of the crash he would be killed.' They say seat belts were not used by Diana & friend in the back seat. Were those seat belts checked before the car drove off for any malfunction or evidence of tampering? (Diana said that certain people would try to kill her.)

I stopped reading newspapers years ago. I simply now glance at the front page of those on display as I pass. The future is not a completed picture like a jigsaw puzzle. Things come and go, live and die. Contrast - Change - Emotion. Infinite/eternal. The future is the next cup of coffee. Heaven? Who would wish to recline all day, every day, on a bed of rose petals? How mind-numbingly boring - people weeping in paradise. Everything else one can do on earth. The invention 'Heaven' is as silly as the crossbar on a man's bicycle.
