| Tuesday, June 05, 2007 Shift Happens Current mood: quixotic
Yep, very interesting. It is amazing how far behind our country is becoming. We
are just used to assuming we are the greatest country in the world. We are
quickly becoming incorrect. We have absolutely NO forward thinking leaders in
this country. They are still all trying to win the cold war!! More oil. Bigger
military. More capitalism. Amazing. We are ignoring real science. The only
science this country takes part in, is the profit making variety. We need to
wake up to the fact that we are being left behind. |
| Monday, March 05, 2007 by observation Current mood: awake "The individual cannot permit himself to be aware of thoughts or feelings which are incompatible with the patterns of his culture, and hence is forced to repress them." -Fromm (from Wilber's analysis of the bio-social band) "Draw a distinction between the all-saving God and the all-sinful man, and this will lead to a rule that man can only be saved by getting in touch with God- this is the Religion Game. Draw a distinction between valuable sucess and humiliating failure, and this will lead to a rule that to be valuable one must avoid failure- this is the Competition Game. In a word, distinctions lead to rules which in turn form games. The point of all this will become glaringly obvious if we now ask a simple question: what happens if we draw inappropriate distinctions? Straightforwardly, an inappropriate distinction can lead to self-defeating and self-frustrating games. And a society built on such self-defeating games is an ideal breeding ground for neuroses and psychoses. " -Wilber, Spectrum of Consciousness "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." [note: the distinction between God and Sinner lies only the Sinner's mind; open the door] -Lettered in red, Revelations 3:20-22 "Long before thermonuclear war can come about, we have had to lay waste to our own sanity. We begin with the children. It is imperitive to catch them in time. Without the most thorough and rapid brainwashing thier dirty minds would see through our dirty tricks. Children are not yet fools, but we shall turn them into imbeciles like ourselves, with high I.Q.'s if possible. From the moment of birth when the Stone Age baby confronts the twentieth century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father, and thier parents before them, have been. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its[your baby's] potentialites, and on the whole this enterprise is successful. By the time the new human being is fifteen or so, we are left with a being like ourselves, a half-crazed creature more or less adjusted to a mad world. This is normality in our present age... The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of thier fellow normal men in the last fifty years." -Laing "A working class hero is somethin' to be..." -John Lennon "Schools are institutions for indoctrination and for imposing obedience. Far from creating independent thinkers, schools have always, throughout history, played an institutional role in systems of control and coercion." -Chomsky Think freely: you are another face of God From Wikipedia: "Schopenhauer also frequently acknowledges drawing on Plato in the development of his theories and, particularly in the context of aesthetics, speaks of the Platonic forms as existing on an intermediate ontological level between the representation and the Will." This is refering to the primal shapes (which are set in the circle) as the link between imagination and material form. You may have heard of the Power of Positive Thinking. Or that "we're all God's children" or "Ask and ye shall recieve" But who has applied it? --- Hope you dont mind if I use some of this in my blog. Posted by Rob Rock on Monday, March 12, 2007 at 5:03 PM Well Mr. Miller it certainly seems you are on the right track when it comes to what there is to read upon philosophical musings of man and what it really is to be an alert, intelligent, and meaningful human being. Like me you tend to study only the best of the true geniuses'. Yet ironically these same individuals, Chomsky, Einstein, etc...say true genius is a faith in one's own ability to perceive and create. "Creativity is more important than knowledge, for it is endless and knowledge has boundaries..." Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding are traits that can be developed by any able-bodied man. It is simply the repression of knowledge, the systematic oppression of man, ie, instituitonalism which allegedly educates the public while holding us back at the same time. In one fell swoop we are separated, segregated, then a television tells us who and what we are. The exact opposite of what our country's name says we are...The United States of America. Nothing could be closer to a lie. Posted by B Mack on Monday, August 06, 2007 at 11:02 PM |
| Saturday, December 24, 2005 T-Town flame war leads to my publicity Awww... Thanks Justin this whole time I've felt totally alienated posted on 5-6-2003 at 08:24 PM Hi. I'm Justin, member of the boyband, or as people who can respect music call it, an a capella vocal group. Just noticing that this fucking thread needs to drop dead. Because it's the most moronic, inbecilic and infantile thing I've ever read in my life. So I'm not going to try and get anybody back verbally. And I'm really not going to take a side. I'm just going to tell all of you to get your fucking heads and fists out of your asses and stop this shit. This is the most ludicrous fucking thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Why the fuck do any of us make music anymore? I don't fucking get it. We just eat each other alive with the most self-righteous deprication and condescention. We all look like fucking idiots. Animato plays because the love making music. Everything music-related in this town becomes some dick measurement, and it's why this scene goes nowhere. Ive always liked Animato because they've managed so far to fly under the radar and just do their thing. But a concert notice goes up on a T-Town forum and suddenly everyone starts to jiggle their dicks to see who can make theirs look the biggest. Why the fuck can people just not respect music and understand that the reason we make music is for satisfaction and enjoyment, not for the tours, t-shirts, websites, 3K paychecks or fanbase. Action Squad, I've always enjoyed your concerts. They're insane. You guys always have a rock-with-your-cock mentality and your shows fucking own. People fucking love NBC. Whether they're singing at Kahoa Elementary, the Seventh Street Loft of Rosenblatt Stadium, they're doing what they love and people love every second of it. Animato has some of the most talented fucks in it I've ever met in my life. Luke sings, plays bass and guitar, excels I think at all. Vince Miller raps, plays, produces... he embarrasses all of us at sheer talent, commitment and passion. Gene Lessman has been doing this longer than most if not all of us have been on this fucking earth. But they don't give a shit because they love what they do. I don't know if this is bragging, but I know a shit ton of people making music in this city and state, some of which will be at the party, and I can guarantee that they don't give a flying fuckole about any of this shit. It's embarrassing. They sure don't give a shit about any of this, and it makes everyone here look like an absolute moron. Zakk, just because NBC makes 2500 a show doesn't place us on a pedastal. Ben, the fact that you made varsity choirs in high school and get called by the Playhouse for auditions says shit. Billy, you're the only sane and humorous one so far. Well done. So I recommend we all fucking stop. If anyone wants to have a good time and listen to some music, come to the party and see some guys do something they truly love. I promise, you won't have to prove cock size. Wilderness and Sea Sick Bob at Lincoln High back to school bash 00 01 oh yeah I don't think any'all southeast could really fuck with that. Posted by M Vincent on Saturday, December 24, 2005 at 11:34 PM first and before I ever became involved with animato Posted by M Vincent on Saturday, December 24, 2005 at 11:38 PM ohhh yeah, I remember Sea Sick Bob. I wasn't crazy about them, but I remember everyone else was. I don't know anything about Animato. But if it means anything, I still have my Jakk Six cd. (which I probably spelled wrong.)

| Sunday, December 04, 2005 Kundalini Category: Life Kundalini From The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi Edited by David Godman Question: Will concentration on Chakras quieten the mind? Sri Ramana Maharshi: Fixing their minds on psychic centres such as the Sahasrara (the thousand petalled lotus Chakra), yogis remain any lengths of time without awareness of their bodies. As long as this state continues, they appear to be immersed in some kind of joy. But when the mind, which has become tranquil emerges and becomes active again it resumes its worldly thoughts. It is therefore necessary to train it with the help of practices like Dhyana (meditation) whenever it becomes externalised. It will then attain a state in which there is neither subsistence nor emergence. Question: It is said that the Sakti manifests itself in five phases, ten phases, a hundred phases and a thousand phases. Which is true? Sri Ramana Maharshi: Sakti has only one phase. If it is said to manifest itself in several phases, it is only a way of speaking. The Sakti is only one. Question: How to churn up the Nadis (psychic nerves) so that the Kundalini may go up the Sushumna? Sri Ramana Maharshi: Though the Yogi may have his methods of breath control for his object, the Jnani’s method is only that of enquiry. When by this method the mind is merged in the Self, the Sakti or Kundalini, which is not apart from the Self, rises automatically. Ive often wonderd about this last part. "Though the Yogi may have his methods of breath control for his object, the Jnani’s method is only that of enquiry. When by this method the mind is merged in the Self, the Sakti or Kundalini, which is not apart from the Self, rises automatically." Alas, there is no problem, understanding is easier than discipline and devotion. Posted by Rob Rock on Monday, December 12, 2005 at 7:36 PM |
