"In the post-meditative experience become a child of illusion" is a slogan from the Tibetan mind training tradition. We engage the world as we experience it all the while realizing that reality is not as it seems to be.
I think too many of us want glittering opiates, like endless MJ death stories, so we won't have to think - and do something about - the challenges we face. I am so glad I rarely watch television (and never television news except Rachel Maddow and Comedy Central).

Happy Fourth, y'all!
I think that we are all so sick and tired of the news that the Michael Jackson story is a total reprieve from it all!
