of the Buddha Joy Meditation School
welcome to
Meditate Like a Jedi!
Our midbrains are wired
to give and receive
without expectation
of reciprocity.
Our brainstems,
however,
are wired
for competition,
and greed…
and do everything
from agenda,
and guilt
and fear.
Most societies,
especially our own,
are predicated upon the myth
of scarcity
thus driving each of us
further, down,
into our brainstems,
the way a tent peg
is hammered into the earth,
thus making it unlikely
that we can receive a gift
without feeling beholden
unto the giver
as if we owed them something
in return.
For in our country
where there are ten vacant houses
for every homeless person
it could become clear
that the myth of scarcity
is a lie perpetrated by those with power
to manipulate those withOUT power
to participate in,
no less accept,
their own subjugation.
Doctor King,
and Buckminster Fuller,
and Gene Roddenberry,
and Jacque Fresco,
and numerous other luminaries
have suggested
that when humanity takes its next
evolutionary steps
from brainstem to midbrain
and from fear to love
and from competition to cooperation,
and from cruelty to compassion
we will embrace
the post scarcity society
explained by Peter Joseph
in his book
“The New Human Rights Movement.”
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
