What is there before the milieu that creates your world disturbs it? The five senses create context, and, depending on your conditioning, interprets the data into, loosely speaking, positive or negative. Without perceptions and all the evolutionary programming distracting you, there is complete understanding.

This New Year, I resolve to work backwards. Instead of acting, or, really, reacting to the five senses, I will work to pretermit duality--the misleading animal instinct that separates me from everything else--and truly know the peacefulness that awaits.

I vow to see clearly the delusions caused by thoughts, perceptions, words, and action, and use them as a tool to truly realize happiness. WTF: Weaken the Fiction.

How about you--what is your resolution?
