formerly known as cars &#8212; is a powerful metaphor for my worldview.\u00a0 Even if highly aware, the power differential possessed by unaware car drivers reliably results in them imposing the cost of their lack of awareness on those less powerful; in this case, a biker.\u00a0 They are insulated from the feedback, the costs, of their own mindlessness.\u00a0 I see such mindless, abusive power differentials wreaking havoc on our world most anywhere I look.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.toppun.com\/Peace-Signs\/Buttons\/Only-Thing-Necessary-for-Triumph-of-Evil-is-for-Good-Men-to-do-Nothing-PEACE-QUOTE-BUTTON.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/Great-Quotes\/Peace-Quotes\/Peace-Quote-Peace-Sign-100.gif\" alt=\"Only Thing Necessary for Triumph of Evil is for Good Men to do Nothing -- Edmund Burke quote\" width=\"172\" height=\"172\" \/><\/a> At best, these mindless abuses of privilege (privilege as being on the stronger side of a power differential) are maladaptive.\u00a0 At worst, these mindless abuses of privilege are the foundation upon which evil can successfully manipulate the unconscious aspects of humanity to its own ends.\u00a0 In regard to intimacy, I would say that in the car-bicyclist relationship the car-driver represents the antithesis of vulnerability, literally protected by a huge wall of metal, glass, and plastic.\u00a0 To which the bicyclist offers their bare skin and an oft-ill-fitting plastic helmet for one&#8217;s consciousness-bearing noggin.\u00a0 You can draw your own particular picture of the implications of this larger dynamic played out in our social and political life together.\u00a0 In the world of urban cycling, let it suffice to say that good intent is not sufficient.\u00a0 Most drivers who violate your legal right-of-way are palpably repentant <em>after<\/em> they realize what they have done.\u00a0 I take great pride in offering my existence as a biker to drivers to help them learn about the existence of other people who are made vulnerable by their mindlessness.\u00a0 Still, it is I who pays the greater price for this potential evolutionary relationship.\u00a0 Thus, this poem.<\/p>\n<p>If I am to be run over and killed by a mindless driver, please read this poem at my funeral, and offer this poem to the manslaughterer.\u00a0 Similarly, I offer myself up in the path of mindless (and mindful) political forces, in hopes of expanding humanity&#8217;s potential for evolution.\u00a0 If I should be run over and killed by some overtly political force, I am sure their are plenty of my other poems appropriate to be read at my memorial.\u00a0 In any case, wish me luck &#8212; if you believe in such things.<\/p>\n<p>I view consciousness, or mindfulness, as the primary force and indicator of human evolution.\u00a0 I view most of the bad things in this world as a byproduct of a mindfulness deficiency.\u00a0 Quantitatively, having no one at the wheel allows many, many bad things to happen.\u00a0 Qualitatively, having people who are aware of their destructive choices and yet still choose them &#8212; one definition of sin &#8212; is a scary situation because mindfulness alone is insufficient for self-correction.\u00a0 This is an active disease of the will.\u00a0 Still, the passivity of the will, of active mindfulness, carries most of the day in most of our everyday lives.\u00a0 I see that our lives are lived for us, as passive beings, to a larger degree than we live our lives consciously, mindfully.\u00a0 The epic showdowns between conscious evil and conscious good make for great, even necessary, storytelling, but does not reflect the less sexy, more mundane bulk of our own struggles for increasing consciousness, the prerequisite for any life truly lived.<\/p>\n<p>In the order of consciousness, self-awareness is a prerequisite for any fruitful other-awareness.\u00a0 Without self-awareness, we will be mired in unending unconscious, biased projections of our self onto the world of other people and things that make up our shared reality.\u00a0 My love of science is congruent with a desire to have an accurate understanding of our shared reality.\u00a0 Still, science falls disturbingly silent in addressing one&#8217;s inner life, and the ultimate, inescapable assumptions or projections onto other people.\u00a0 My working assumptions, based on my experience of my own inner life, is that people want to be accepted for who they are, positively appreciated, and want to contribute to a better world, our shared reality.\u00a0 I willingly project empathy and lovingkindness into the world, in hopes of a better world for all of us.\u00a0 If this is not what you want, feel free to let me know.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toppun.com\/Political\/Buttons\/Better-To-be-Slapped-With-The-Truth-Than-Kissed-With-A-Lie-Russian-Proverb-POLITICAL-BUTTON.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/Political\/Better-To-be-Slapped-With-The-Truth-Than-Kissed-With-A-Lie-Russian-Proverb.gif\" alt=\"  \t Better To be Slapped With The Truth Than Kissed With A Lie -- Russian Proverb\" width=\"172\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>If I stray from these working assumptions, feel free to gently remind me of my deepest commitments.\u00a0 If I stand clearly apart from these working assumptions, feel free to tell me like it is in no uncertain terms.\u00a0 As the Russian proverb goes: &#8220;Better to be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I under stand You are on Some kind of in Stall meant plan As long As you still Pay attention In do time I&#8217;ll pay for such in deference Hopefully not the final time Having been Pre-disposed In the passed &hellip;
