No More Safe Science

NO MORE SAFE SCIENCE

 We hold these truths to be self-evident:
This immediate non-symbolic experience
of Nature from inside;
That the Universe is filled 
with billions of invisible minds;
That each sentient creature
lives equally close to the Mystery;
That Deep Reality is waiting
for one of us to ask the right question.
                          Jabir's Four Postulates 


We will take off our shoes and our stockings

And wade barefoot into the sea.

We will take off our clothing

We will remove our skins

Using drugs and physics

We will open our minds

To connect with Nature directly.

Goodbye Gods and Goddesses

All the world's religions

Mere warmup

For this deeper way of Worship.

Goodbye Galileo and Gell-Mann

Centuries of math & physics

Mere foreplay

For this deeper way of Knowing.

Why do you continue

Reading old love letters

When She is present
Naked and willing

Here beside you?

We will turn away from symbols

And embrace Her Body directly.

We will rip off

The confining condom of language

And enter Reality wide open.

We will rip off

The confining condom of language

And take in Nature bare.

We will take off our shoes and our stockings

We will take off our clothing

We will open our eyes, our hearts and our minds.

We will take one deep breath, one look back

And wade naked and barefoot into the sea.
