Rabbit Hole

If you follow me down the rabbit hole You’ll see so many things Dancing rainbows and candy colored trees A thousand silvery moons shining over stormy seas And hearts never break there But only grow lighter They float around carelessly Where souls go to swim While jaded mermaids play and wait for their loves And Unicorn Men sing endless songs with no words If you follow me down the rabbit hole Is it the journey or the destination? The only thing that matters is your lack of hesitation

guiding revelation

anyway… ***there is no truth in words***

behold your final paradox.

….ok, so final paradox is a bit dramatic. i would like to forward a clear intent here though, which is to bind some of the ideas that have brought me here together into a nice tidy package. i submit that through cultivated awareness, language modification, and mutual trust we will alter the present course of (our)story to much more compassionate means.

...complicate such as "you" see fit with regards to your your particular level of consciousness.

***what we call a map is actually the territory relating to itself (recursively).***

(edit...there is no truth to behold other than ....? the eternal nature of consciousness?)

Raw Pumpkin Pie, the Real Deal!

Crust:

1 cup sprouted buckwheat (substitute almonds if preferred)

1/3 cup ground flax

1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened

1 cup soft dates (soak in water if dry)

1/4 cup raw cacao nibs

1/4 cup raw coconut oil

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp himalayan salt

Filling:

2 cups raw cashews, soaked

1 cup fresh pumpkin juice 

1/2 cup maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of your choice)

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp cloves

1/2 cup raw coconut oil, melted

Directions:

For crust, in a food processor process buckwheat, coconut flakes, flax, coconut, salt, and cinammon until fine texture is reached. Add in the cacao nibs, coconut oil, and lastly drop in dates one at a time while processor is running. Process until the mixture holds together. Press crust into a springform pan oiled with coconut oil beforehand. 

For filling, juice an entire sugar pie pumpkin to get 1 cup of juice (if you don’t have a juicer, blend the chopped pumpkin in a high-speed blender with some water, and strain the juice through a nut-milk bag). Save the seeds and pulp for future creations! Add cashews, pumpkin juice, maple syrup, and spices to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the coconut oil last, ideally while the blender is running. When coconut oil is fully incorporated and the texture is super yummy and smooth, pour the filling on top of the crust. Smooth with a spatula if necessary. 

Save the stem of your sugar pie pumpkin for decorating if you like! 

Freeze the pie for at least 3-4 hours to fully set up. Move to refridgerator 1-2 hours before planning to serve to allow it to thaw. Slice and serve, and fully enjoy this incredible pumpkin pie! 

Serves 12-16 using an 8 inch springform pan. 

Angela says: This truly tastes like REAL pumpkin pie!!! Without the sugar, dairy, eggs, or gluten, using only the purest of ingredients. If you can let this pie sit at room temperature for about 1/2 an hour before serving, the texture will be just perfect. This pie is creamy, comforting, and ‘tis the season! It’s been a major hit over the last three holiday seasons- a true crowd pleaser. Make sure to add in lots of light and love to your creation while you make it- it truly makes a difference. Enjoy!

first things first

I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way.

— Theodosius Dobzhansky, "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution" (1973)

Figure caption with the NPR political article/source:

"A display of a series of skeletons showing the evolution of humans at the Peabody Museum, New Haven, Conn., circa 1935."

That, and copying Huxley’s famous figure, might be what the museum exhibit creator had in mind, but these 80 or so years later we’re all done recklessly and inaccurately insinuating that we evolved from gorillas, that evolved from chimps, that evolved from orangutans, that evolved from gibbons. 

A row of primate skeletons does not depict human evolution any more than a row of dog skeletons depicts the evolution of dogs. 

It’s images like this that perpetuate misunderstandings that contribute to the obstacles to evolution acceptance. And of all places to mislead readers about evolution, an article about evolution denial is definitely not one.

Jane and Louise Wilson 303 Gallery

Oddments Room

Internationally acclaimed artists Jane and Louise Wilson are known for their film and photographic works, often exploring states of consciousness and the experience of place. This summer a series of large-scale photographs from their ongoing investigation into the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster premieres at the John Hansard Gallery. The exhibition also features a number of other works, many previously unseen in the UK.

Atomgrad (Nature Abhors a Vacuum), 2010 is a suite of eight photographic prints depicting deserted interiors from the abandoned town of Pripyat, situated within the 30km wide Exclusion Zone around the site of the disaster. Books remain on shelves and desks, bed frames remain intact and once-exquisite parquet flooring lies on the ground like rubble. A yardstick appears within each image and is a recurring motif throughout the exhibition. These objects of measurement – functional yet obsolete – act as a marker of scale and order, alluding to the tensions between association and analysis, memory and material fact.
