On Hiatus


Yep, after thrashing it out and not reaching a resolution, the Ratzaz Diaries is on hiatus at this time.  Due to intensive, extensive and accelerated personal renovation, I find that the things I want to express, at this time, are probably not something that most readers of this blog want to hear.  And I really have no intention to just come on to intentionally offend people, at least not anymore.  

A lot of you noticed a change in the contents of this blog, beginning last fall.  I thank my last few years of earnest Zen practice for bringing me to a new perception of things.  The things I perceive are not particulary Buddhist.  So I have a real Catch 22 here.  And I've learned that there really are evil entities out there, human ones, and you have to watch what you say.

Of course I do feel continue to feel the urge to express myself.  At past times, in these Diaries, I was quite taken in by, well, the things we have all been taken in by (although not the demon of Grammar, apparently).  I feel the urge to correct my mistakes, but it would seem simply mean to build an audience of people who think a certain way, and then tell them they are wrong, and that I was wrong.  I may be developing a new blog, or perhaps even a full-blown website.  Then again, I could change my mind tomorrow and post here.

 I want to thank all of you who've been supportive or at least  interactive for the last three and a half years on this blog.  Continue to try to open your eyes.  Don't believe anything anyone tells you, especially me.  Find a path with heart.

You must do what you see fit for the inner being, until that time I am fixed on reading the older stuff.

Given a planet with the size, composition, frangible ecology and finite carrying capacity of Earth, could someone comment on how much longer the global limitations of Earth can be expected to sustain the unsated overconsumption, unbridled overproduction and unregulated overpopulation activities of the human species in our time?

Despite every effort to appear reasonable and sensible, the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe among us approach economic and ecologic problems in patently unsustainable ways by adamantly advocating and recklessly pursuing greed-driven schemes based upon the seemingly endless growth of human consumption, production and propagation that will lead humanity to precipitate, however inadvertently and soon, the destruction of life as we know it and the Earth as a fit place for human habitation, I suppose.

If the human community is in a race against time, even at this late hour when pathological arrogance, greed-mongering and elective mutism rule the world, is it ever too late to speak of what is true to you or to do the right thing, as best we can?

I imagine all the above Korean comments, if they are all indeed Korean, are spam, but whatever... I've been away for a while/
