The suffering of beings has always been. On the earth, the Buddha walked, there was suffering. The suffering of beings. Humans built and built, changing the form of earth, changing the nature of earth, all the beautiful structures, and now, in the Anthropocene, all the waste. The suffering of the earth system, our rivers polluted, ocean waves full of plastic, the disposable object world that oil and industry have created, an object mentality.

If they would not have created it we would not have needed it. Object creation has changed the earth and the way humans think… So for better or worse the object world is a part of the world, the indoor and outdoor environments, the car, the phone, the computer all a part of the earth. The human mind, formed to the creations of our built environment, the natural mind of earth, quested for, the seeking of ultimate realities leads to the heights of cosmic awe and truth and then back to earth. The furthest man, the longest journey, the end of the earth leads to a beach, strewn with plastic and dead animals.

Earths predicament and the confusion that arises, a burning anger arises, apathy and self disdain.

To kill all humans, to destroy the objects, a thought that crosses ones mind as the earth reveals the truth of the Anthropocene. The anger at what people have done, a passionate fire that races through the mind-body.

Clarity has a sadness to it, like something is wrong. A beautiful sadness, an emptiness, a recognition of earth, it’s condition and the conflicts.

The human condition is of the cosmos, the cosmic structure and flow, the way of the universe is the human experience. There is no human experience outside of universal order. Perception of earth and how being on earth occurs can be confusing.

How to do, about how what is, and how things are?

Compassion and neutrality becomes the essential mode, a clear, calm uncertainty, cooling the flames of passion and aggression, in the mind-body, the group mind and the ecosystem.

The suffering of beings, the suffering of what humans have done to other species and the planet.

Resisting the urges of violence and destruction as the solution is the greatest challenge of being human.

A something fills the mind where there was nothing, a felt sense, a mental congestion, constructs of the mind, a murky oil in the flowing waters, an ugly happiness blurs the vision and thinking of realities most real beings, those of earth.

The envelopment of minds by the great liars and delusionists. The individuals mind as the earth provides them the truth of their doings and confused systems. The samsaric routine, the built environment, time as a clock, the ticking increments are not the movement of celestial bodies.

The way that is felt, the body feels anger, the head full of storytelling obscuring what is worth loving, wanting to place blame, take passionate action and violently destroy those who threaten the beauty and function earth. And instead, trying to wisely maintain an equanimity of body if not mind, the earth imbalance of human systems within the earth system and human delusion, a rampant disease.

What is best for the most people is the true leaders most difficult decision. Environmental genocide would still be genocide. The judgement and destruction of all earth destroyers and corruption. The action of violence and hate would be ontological, and would resonate into earths future.

Creating, writing and putting to form in order to remain peaceful, in order to not incite violence, only to experience ones creation misinterpreted as violence, or to the point of provoking the peaceful creator to the point of passionate violence.

The best solution seems to be to sit still and never do anything, just breathing, meditation all the time, that is the most difficult thing to do. The internal and external environments are always changing, so stillness becomes resistance at some point, which has a feeling to it, the felt sense of the internal and external environments, information perceived as something within, a felt sense or potential, feeling and perception, an ultimate reality as categorized in the Abhidamma.

The Buddha said to abandon feeling, the ultimate reality of feeling and perception a bewildering maze of bodily entanglements and surreal bodily experience.

Suffering manifested as violence, the passionate lamentations of “I” the sufferer, outburst judged by the wise and fools alike.

Duhkka.
