If you allow the flame of discontent to keep on burning, not being satisfied with anything, then superficial satisfactions have no place. Then this very dissatisfaction demands something much greater, and the ideals, the gurus, the religions, the establishment, become totally superficial. This flame of discontent, because it has no outlet, because it has no object in which it can fulfil itself, becomes a great passion. That passion is intelligence.

Discontent is an unpolluted state which exists in each one of us if it is not deadened through wrong education, through gratifying solutions, through ambition, or through the pursuit of an ideal. When we understand the nature of real discontent, we shall see that attention is part of this burning flame which consumes the pettiness and leaves the mind free of the limitations of self-enclosing pursuits and gratifications.

Don't be afraid of discontent, but give it nourishment until the spark becomes a flame and you are everlastingly discontented with everything – with your job, with your family, with the traditional pursuit of money, position, power – so that you really begin to think, to discover. But as you grow older, you will find that to maintain this spirit of discontent is very difficult. You have children to provide for and the demands of your job to consider; the opinion of your neighbours, of society closes in upon you, and soon you begin to lose this burning flame of discontent.

Discontent is a flame that must be kept burning brightly, and not smothered by an interest or activity that is pursued as a reaction to the pain of it. Discontent is painful only when it is resisted. One who is merely satisfied, without understanding the full significance of discontent, is asleep; they are not sensitive to the whole movement of life. Satisfaction is a drug, and it is comparatively easy to find. But to understand the full significance of discontent, the search for certainty must cease.

It is discontent that drives, that creates, that urges us on. If we can understand discontent without smothering it by the search for certainty and psychological security, if we can keep that discontent and its flame alive, our problem is simple, because that very discontent is creative, and from that we can move on. But the moment we smother discontent, put it away, resist it, hide it, the mind is concerned merely with the reconciliation of effects, and discontent is no longer a means of going forward and plunging into something unknown.

I think I can escape from my discontent by having something more, more clothes or more power and so on. But the dissatisfaction is still there, only I cover it up with clothes, with power, with cars. I just cover it up. Until you find out how to understand what you are, merely covering yourself with words, with power, with position, has no meaning. You will still be unhappy.

Being dissatisfied with and not understanding the fact of what we are, we create the idea of what we should be, so there is a division, a contradiction. Throughout the world, this process is going on, this escape from ‘what is’ through the ideational pursuit of ‘what should be’. And surely, as long as we struggle to bring about an approximation between the fact and the idea, conflict is inevitable.

If you are somewhat intelligent or aware, and if you are dissatisfied with this transient world, you want something permanent, and therefore are constantly seeking: you join a movement, commit yourself to a political party or activity, and so on. You are always active in this search. But this search invariably leads to a predestined end. What you want is comfort, permanency, a state of mind that will never be disturbed, which you call peace. And you will find what you are seeking, but it will not be the real, it will not be truth.
Why am I dissatisfied? I am married, and that does not give me satisfaction; I go to the church or temple, and that does not give me satisfaction; I go to various meetings, and they mean nothing; I look at trees and feel nothing. Gradually, I am dissatisfied with everything I see, have or feel. Which means what? I am seeking a satisfaction in which there is no dissatisfaction at all.

Most of us, right through the world, are disturbed and discontented. Being dissatisfied, we want more prosperity, more things, more books, more amusement. But there is a deeper discontent which is not satisfied by external acquisitiveness. We then pursue inward acquisition, the mind demanding complete satisfaction from this endless discontent. We seek something that is enduring, satisfying, and we call it by different names: God, truth, bliss, happiness.

@darren Check out this overview: skepticalscience.com/global-wa…
What caused early 20th Century warming?
Skeptical ScienceEarly 20th century warming was in large part due to rising solar activity and relatively quiet volcanic activity. However, both factors have played little to no part in the warming since 1975. Solar activity has been steady since the 50's.
This reminds me of how fragile our little water world actually is… It responds to anomalous inputs very readily.
A good read for the Holidays!

What's always been fascinating about it for me are the tools/props. Lots of craftsmanship went into the concept and creation of the act, even before the performance. Beautiful end to end.

in reply to Universal Basic Friend • • •@coolandnormal A woman starts by balancing a feather on the end of a carved stick. With great focus and concentration, she adds more sticks, one at a time, until she's built a towering contraption of sticks balancing each other and the feather. Using her foot, she raises one last stick, and balances the whole thing on top of that. At the end, she removes the feather and it all falls apart.
