George Carlin: Saving the Planet
David Rainoshek: I love this video (full transcript below). Carlin makes the excellent point that “saving the planet” is not the issue – saving ourselves is. The planet is fine, and will be fine. It is the biosphere as suitable for maintaining human life that is in question. And even that will come to an end.
Here is the mystical perspective: There is no Earth, and no one to save it. From that place of Big Mind, Ein Sof, Suchness, the All – we recognize that the only thing that lasts is the Ground of Being: Spirit itself. All that is will decay, and it is okay. Before you allow Big Heart and your mind to come back in, just rest in the knowing that impermanence is completely okay. It is all lila – the sport and play of Spirit with Spirit. Big Mind. Everything is Spirit. No beings to save, no environment to save, no one to save them.
George Carlin: Fear of Germs
George Carlin, in his inimitable comic style, illustrates the point that the western overuse of antiseptics and washing can actually diminish our body’s natural ability to protect itself from opportunists. Says Carlin, “We swam in raw sewage – to cool off. We were tempered in raw shit.” One of Katrina and my favorite selections from George Carlin.
