We are violent. Throughout existence, human beings have been violent and are violent. I want to find out, as a human being, how to transcend this violence, how to go beyond it. What am I to do? I see what violence has done in the world, how it has destroyed every form of relationship, how it has brought deep agony and misery in oneself — I see all that. And I say to myself, ‘I want to live a really peaceful life in which there is a deep abundance of love—all the violence must go.’ Now, what have I to do?

Gerst told the ESA boss that he wishes all eight billion people on Earth could go to space just once and see what he saw - a small, fragile, beautiful planet, cared for not nearly well enough by the species lucky enough to live on it.

Love has no continuity; it cannot be carried over to tomorrow; it has no future. What has is memory, and memories are ashes of everything dead and buried. Love has no tomorrow; it cannot be caught in time and made respectable. It is there when time is not. It has no promise, no hope; hope breeds despair. It belongs to no God, and so to no thought and feeling. It is not conjured up by the brain. It lives and dies each minute. Is a terrible thing, for love is destruction. It is destruction without tomorrow.

What takes place when there is no loneliness, when there is complete self-sufficiency? When there is no dependency, what takes place? I love you; you may not love me. I love you – that is good enough. I don’t need your response, that you love me – I don’t care. Like a flower, it is there for you to look at, to smell, to see the beauty of. The flower doesn’t say, ‘Love me’ – it is there. Therefore, it is related to everything. In that state of self-sufficiency – not in the ugly sense but in the great depth and beauty of sufficiency – there is no loneliness or ambition. That is really love. Therefore, love is related to nature. If you want it, there it is; if you don’t want it, it doesn’t matter. That is the beauty of it.

One has to go into the question of what love is. Most of us have different concepts, ideas, opinions: sacred love and profane love; love of the one and love of the many; can you love the many if you love the one? And we think we know love because we are jealous. To us, jealousy is part of love. You love your wife or husband, your children, the family – all that business – and there is jealousy, envy, ambition and greed. You don’t treat the family as a unit of convenience, but the family becomes strongly important, and the family then becomes antisocial. Where there is jealousy, envy, greed, ambition, competition, there is no love. We also know that the word ‘love’ is not the fact of love. And if there is no love in our heart, in our being, do what we will, there will always be misery and conflict. So, how does the mind or heart come upon the strange thing called love?

The world in slow motion - And Alan Watts - videos.trom.tf/w/9ChXtcyzDiiJN…

This was made in 10 minutes from footage I got at a vintage car "display" or whatever you call that. I was testing my second hand Osmo Pocket 3. Added some music and a bit with Alan Watts. Enjoy 😃

I added a little something to my latest RideWithLess video videos.trom.tf/w/86uzfqsAHh86C… - so cool that with Peertube I can add stuff like this to a video and replace the original one. URL stays the same, everything else stays the same. :)

Peertube is fantastic!

Bluetti VS Custom Power System

This is the final video about our power system. Since we use 2 completely different and independent power systems, I thought we are in an ideal position to compare the two since we always switch between them.

On one hand we have a Bluetti AC180 power unit connected to 260W of solar, on the other we have a custom built power system with 2x100Ah 12V EcoWorthy batteries, a Victron 100/50 MPPT, and a 1000W inverter - all connected to 650W of solar power.

We will compare the specs, the costs, the reliability, upgradability and repairability.

How can I love you, or you love me, if I am attached to you? My attachment is based on my pursuit of pleasure, which you give me, and on my image of you. I am attached to that image of you, and you are attached to the image of me. And the image is the past, the response of experience and knowledge. Is love the past? Is love experience? Is love memory? Is love the reaction to that memory as pleasure? So, one discovers, or the mind comes upon the fact, that where there is attachment of any kind, there is no love. This is not a statement, an idea, but an actual fact that the mind has discovered, which the mind, having an insight into attachment, sees the truth of. And seeing the truth of it, it is not occupied with the person, or with the furniture, or with the idea, and therefore it has its own energy. It is that quality of energy that is love. Therefore, love can never be hurt, love can never be jealous, never lonely; it can never ask to be loved.
