FOR THE SALT LAKE CITY POETS – THOMAS CARLYLE

Carlyle was born in a village in Scotland in the year 1795 and died in London. He lived a long industrious life devoted to literature, reading, scholarship and writing.
Carlyle had a humble origin. Carlyle was Scottish.
Here in my small circle of writer’s friends, it is common to confuse the Scots and the English. In a general and casual way I say that Scots are intellectuals and English are bullies. Nevertheless they are political unified.
Carlyle was an atheist; he did not believe in G-d. He became hunted by the idea that man can be saved through work. He thought that anything aesthetic or intellectual man did was despicable and ephemeral. But he believed that the fact of working, the fact of doing something, even if that thing was despicable, was not despicable.
Carlyle take the idea that this world is merely apparent, and gives it a moral and political meaning. He said that just as we see a green tree, we could see it as blue if our visual organs were different, and in the same way, when we touch it we feel it as convex, we could feel it as concave if our hands were made differently.
From A course on English Literature of Professor Jorge Luis Borges.

“I UNDERSTAND” BY A HINDU TEACHER

Understanding is totally different from knowledge. Knowledge is borrowed, understanding is your own. Knowledge comes from without, understanding wells up from within. Knowledge can never become part of your being. It will remain alien, it will remain foreign, it cannot put down roots inside you.
Understanding grows out of you, it is your own flowering. It is authentically yours; so it has beauty, and liberates.

I do not believe in equality for a simple reason that is impossible.
Every single human is unique. No two human beings can be equal, and they should not be.
I do believe in equal opportunity for every for everyone.
Equal opportunity for everybody to be unequal, unique.

FANATISM- FANATISM – THE POLITICAL INCORRECT POET

Only a person who has doubt within him/her/self becomes a fanatic.
A fanatic Socialist, a fanatic Capitalist, is a person who does not really know and trust his/her political ideology. He/she becomes fanatic, aggressive, not to prove anything to others, but to prove to him/her/self that he/she really believes.
When you really know that your way of life is not creating more misery on other people, you are not a fanatic at all.
You do not have to prove or disprove anything to anyone, you have peace of mind.
Hector Ahumada – Hector Fuentes – Juan Datura.

WHY MARX [ The philosopher ] WAS RIGHT

You have to read his work – reason by yourself, ideally under no drugs, political and religious thoughts influence –
He was right enough of the time about enough important issues.
Marx’s ideas are not perfect but plausible.
Marx’s ideological content of his work is not limited to a section of mankind but supported by people of all races, nations, religions and civilizations.
Capitalism, usually disguised under pseudonym as: “the modern age” “industrialism” or ” The West” as ceased to be as natural as the air we breath, in other simple words ” capitalism is in trouble”
Marx was the first to identify the historical object known as “capitalism.”
From Terry Eagleton

The Tenets of the Illegal Guru

All composite phenomena are impermanent in that they are momentary: the very conditions that brought them into being also cause their disintegration.
The moment it comes into existence, the process of disintegration has already begun. In other words, the mechanism for cessation is built into the system itself.
Does this principle apply to Materialistic Capitalism?
Does this principle apply to the trillion of dollars in the Stock Market?
Does this principle apply to the manufacture of nuclear war heads by USA?
What kind of scale is used to define “momentary?”
