Canto Two (four videos
completed April 13th, 2013)
Philosophical Ruminations - canto two: some universal
characteritics of mind: sleeping and waking; forgetting
and remembering;
madness and sanity; and, death and life.

Prisoners of the NOW: what does it mean to mind, to always experience
everything in the
present? Even memory of past events, or fantasies of the future - all
experience is of the present ...

social chaos, news and stuff: How do we actually see the reality that
tries to poke through the filters that make up how News is
created?

irrationality, rationality, and transrationality: the mind has many
courses and rivers, many streams and seasons, many colors and times,
... if we learn to be awake to all its moods, there lies a universe of
wisdom ...
