I have this love/hate sentiment about Monsanto.
First for buying the license for an Asian flavor, Aji-no-moto, from a Japanese corporation, and making it generic contrary to the licence, I hate Monsanto.
Second, for having the audacity of pretending to be user friendly, I hate Monsanto!
Thirdly, for never having a civil dialog with me about aspartame? I hate Monsanto!!
According to what I found out, Monsanto is actually a Hispanic surname.
It means "My saint" which implies to me, the angel/daemon that watches over each of us due to it being the unknown God's creation.
Basically Monsanto's purpose is to save us from starvation, whilst putting farmers it deems rogue out of business, just because they won't grow Monsanto food at a price.
For the oppression of farmers whose only crime is to grow non-GMO crops beside a Monsanto-sanctified farmer is the worst form of corporate fascism yet to befall mankind.
It even beats Microsoft lawyers suing people who have assets for not having a license for their Windows software.
IMO the solution to the Monsanto dilemma is for an itinerant farmer be allowed to grow a mix of Monsanto-sanctified seed with non-GMO seeds, but to save the Monsanto Round-up for when the former plants get sick with some weird fungus.
For example, GMO rye would be resistant to ergot as well as the herbicide.
Monsanto, you listening??

Daemons and Guardian Angels: A meditation
In this blog entry, I will be writing about abstract concepts regarding the true self of higher consciousness. For the purpose of this meditation, Daemon refers to the symbol of the Higher Consciousness. In it, I warn against egocentricity, which is the dark side of the Ego known as "madness of man-as-god" and "delusion of (being) deity." Finally, I conclude by offering the solution of Plato's advice.
In classical mythology, the Daemon is a person's true self as opposed to the mortal lower self, the Ego. Seen from the point of view of the lower self, the Daemon is the Guardian Angel, the deva of Indic mythos.
In fact, Daemons are the very essence of the Guardian Angel of whom Sylvia Browne speaks.
The true self is also known as a person's Higher Consciousness or as the soul.
Thus devil and daemon are the dark and light sides of the Ego and the true self, respectively.
The soul itself is purified by coming to know God, and in each successive life, purges itself of the Original Sin that begat each body into which it resides.
This Sin is the delusion of deity, to which the Genesis alludes. Thus the allegory of eating of the tree of knowledge of life and death is related to the ego and its descent into the madness of man-as-god, in rebellion to a deity who is apart from all creation.
How do we cut through the delusion of deity?
By following Plato's advice: know thyself.
To help me to know myself, I wrote the following poem:
Knowing thyself, transcend the ego.
Transcending the ego, know God.
Knowing God, become at one with Him.
