This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for May 01, 2008:
In truth, I know there is neither end nor beginning, only the scope of my self-imposed limits of perception.
Within the scope of my limited perception....
I would like to see the end of the delusion of cultural primacy, particularly in the US!

I'd like to know what you mean by 'cultural primacy' C.G…if, indeed, it is a delusion, then I'm with you…happy beltane…Jon xx
Jon,
I am talking about any culture imagining that “their way” is right. The US is very bad about thinking “our democracy” should be practiced by all…..our this and that is best…..
All things subjective (ie our culture, our democracy, our ideals) are dependent on all that is not itself to exist—light does not exist without eyes/perceptors to perceive it; the dark to define what light is not.
I believe we are quite welcome to choose the path of choice, but foolish to believe that everyone else should be on this same path.
…just a personal focus, not that it's either true or false…..just mine,
a beautiful weekend to you, dear Jon,

Amen to the end of the delusion of cultural primacy. Many wars have been fought over that and I believe it's going to be one of the major paradigm shifts that is happening now (or about to)!
And in synchronity with this, the US government representatives here in Nepal just announced an impending shift in their policy about the Maoists communists in Nepal after the latter won majority seat in our last constituent assembly elections.
May it be so, Mila.
Blessings to you and all you hold dear,
