I've been meditating and getting clean these days at Cougar Hot Springs . If you go early in the morning, you are likely to be one of a few, possible alone. If nudity bothers you, you can find a separate pool. People do wear bathing suits, but you give up the full communion of body with earth. It's about an hour's drive from Eugene. As much as I like the earliest hour alone or with a few others, hot springs are sacred places on the earth. The more people who enter this sacred realm and experience what the earth offers, the better our chances to save such places and the sacred forests that surround them.
They all said it was silly to "work with the system." They all said that nothing will change till the power structure really falls down. They said things won't get better if the system stays on. The earth would die just like people around it are dying. Taking a look at this joke of a health care reform I realize that they were right.
They said that only a collapse of the system will bring change for the good. The system is starting to collapse. Let it come down. The real enemies are the liberals in the power structure. Bring it down. Blow it down. Write it down. Throw mud at its arrogance.
The deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest in June was four times worse than the month before. What will it take to end this self-destruction? I guess nothing, really. We're beyond the tipping point. But one can still monitor the criminals.
"All Copenhagen bound climate parties urged to get back to basics of avoiding deforestation and degradation as a keystone climate change response. The focus must be upon ending first time industrial logging of primary forests while providing local peoples alternative incomes based upon fully intact standing old forests".
