Reflective World

Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.

Let go of thought, become still and alert, and don't try to understand or explain.

Just be, and enjoy being. If you are present, there is never any need for you to wait for anything.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.

Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship.

Enlightenment means rising above thought, not falling back to a level below thought, the level of an animal or a plant. In the enlightened state, you still use your thinking mind when needed, but in a much more focused and effective way than before.

Thinking is a wonderful tool if it's applied. Thinking, however, can not become the master. Thinking is a very bad master. If you're dominated by thinking then your life becomes very restricted.

Without perceiving things through the old filter of past conditioning and conceptualization, one can sense the universe is intensely alive.

The cellular agriculture company uses real animal cells to grow slaughter-free kangaroo mince in a lab in Western Sydney.

It does this by collecting natural stem cells from biopsy samples of a live animal. VOW places the stem cells into a nutrient-rich solution in a controlled cultivator, which causes the cells to behave as they would if they were still in the body of an animal.

Everything that cells inside the animal have, is present in here so mainly that's sugar and salt and amino acids which are the building blocks of protein as well as some little molecules which tell the cells to grow and keep growing.

The VOW team add nutrients to the cells, helping them to grow into muscle and fat cells as well as connective tissue.

The end result is an edible product that mirrors meat, because, biologically, it is. The notable difference is that no animals need to be killed to produce it. The process takes four to six weeks.

Why would you want to be king? You could say king of the world or king of your own soul. What do you want to subordinate yourself to? How about your heroic willingness to encounter the unknown and articulate it and share that with people. There's no nobler vision than that.
