Monday, June 29, 2009Ten Million Miles Away From The Sun
A Talk regarding the current conflict in Darfur, T'Chad, Africa,
and the passing of Micheal Jackson. I am sometimes harsh and seemingly insensitive to what others around me believe to be the truth. This is because my own ideas of truth are generally far departed from any consensus, and I have a difficult time expressing my self, beyond these words and the conversations I may have. So let me attempt to clarify what I have recently said. I remember in the late 80's the popularity of Micheal Jackson. I can clearly recall the huge color TV in the living room of my house in NY. Whatever was on TV, would easily be interrupted by the new song by him. I remember Bad, Thriller, and a few other videos being put on irregardless of what was on; the president could have been speaking, and, awp, Micheal has released a new video, and we have to cut to that. I really enjoyed the music; before I was a teenager I was not very interested in music, but the vibe of Micheal and his music was very inspiring, and I may have even danced a little bit. On facebook I made a comment in a thread regarding his passing. I stated, quote, "I could give a damn about one celebrity passing, when possibly hundreds of Indigenous people carrying spears were slaughtered by police from helicopters with absolutely *no* coverage." I do not wish to disrespect his passing, or state that I do not like him. However in the grand scheme I do not think that it has as much relevance as the recent events in Devils Curve, Peru, or even the conflict in Darfur. I attended a party at the Full Circle Farm last night, and they were asking for donations to send to the children in Sudan, who were being taken from their families and sold into Slavery. My understanding is that in Sudan, hundreds of years ago, there existed *no* problems on the scale that we see today. It is my belief that the Way Of Life and the level of Privilage that most Americans have experienced is directly due to the exploitation and lack of human empathy that began on a large scale with the subjugation and control of the African continent. So when I first came to the party here, surrounded by, excuse me, caucasians, I felt extremely out of place. I felt that the fund raising was in jest, in some ways it is conscious, and an aware movement, but on the *grand scheme* it would be all but impossible to explain my view on why all of these people have been able to enjoy such privilages as having time to be aware of domestic and governmental conflicts abroad. So I did not feel well. I felt angry in some ways. I still feel this way, disconnected from the consensus, because I find it very hard to say "this computer I am typing on is filled with precious metals from third world countries" and "everything that is imported into America is shipped using large amounts of natural gas, which is ultimately taken from places like Nigeria, and South America". As I found these things out it made me want to simply leave this place. No matter how aware they get, it will take them quite some time to understand that any importation of goods, any interaction with so called Third World Nations, amounts to agreeing to this slavery, agreeing to this seperation of natural peoples from their original ways of life. No matter how low the gas consumption of my car, no matter if it is a hybrid, or a tiny electric vehicle, the machine behind it that creates these goods, is ultimately evil. No matter how organic the food I eat, there is always going to be Ecco-Aparteid, people who really need health, but will never be able to afford it. As long as we are in a culture that cannot exist on its own, and "requires" goods and importation from other nations, we will all be perpetuating the slavery and destruction of foreign lands and people. No amount of donations to them will stop it. Someone said, that in Sudan, there *is* no currency. Do you know why? Because there has *never* been one except for that which was imposed by colonialism. One point I have. I do not ask questions. I create solutions. So it is difficult for me to learn from others. But I do listen intently to everyone. And I would like to hear all view points. -- I finished the last paragraph of this writing in the company of the people who sponsored the party. They said that at least $1000 was donated for the cause of slavery in Sudan. They had pledged to match each dollar donated and send it off to the Sudan. With so much cultural pressure present I had no inclination to discuss my views of what was going on. Each person there seemed to be very well off, very set in their ways, and very aware that their way of life would end. They were just enjoying it while it lasted. Wednesday, June 24, 2009An Indigenous Woman in the 50's - You supported it!
In the 50's a woman was diagnosed as having
had nervous breakdowns after a move from (then only a territory) Alaska to Texas. She was prescribed Thorazine, and perpetually kept in a state of complete sedation; when not going in and out of mental hospitals. I talked with the womans daughter for quite some time. She told me that she thought her mom was just really tired all of the time, but learned later in her life that Thorazine was a very heavy sedative. Her mother had married a Caucasian man, from which three children were born. She told me that while in school, it was forbidden to speak her native "Indian" language. As the spanish had come to america and decimated the indigenous population and integrated the remainders, her mothers last name had been changed to "M******", and from her father the name H******** was attached. We slowly drove through the mountains of Santa Barbara having this discourse. I came to the conclusion that if you had, for many generations, spoken a language, had various customs, various leaders, a history, healers, etc... And they were taken away. Systematically destroyed. And then *laughed at*. Invalidated. Would you choose to integrate, adopt your enslavers ways? Language? History? A history that told you that the people that you came from, the "darkies", were basically some form of unevolved, uncivilized people, and that all of their history was wrong? My first impulse would be to kill every fucking one that looked like my enslaver. But we all know that its deeper than that. As the enslaver has sat and thought, at great length, about the subjugation and destruction of the planet that he was trapped on, I will say that the problem has been extended into the realm of language, so that the people of subjugation will begin to subjugate themselves. She told me about an experiment where young african slave descendants were shown two dolls, one white and one black. They were asked which doll was the "good" doll, and, each one invariably pointed at the white one. They were then asked which doll 'they' were, and, again, they pointed at the white doll. Well, I digress, this story has been played out and told over and over again, to the point where most don't even really care, understand, nor have any sympathy. Most have simply integrated, as it is easier, dissolved their ancient identities, and accepted the reality that their enslavers has presented as true. I have not, will not, and will never, and I will die with the knowledge of my past, no matter how distorted it is, no matter how much of it has been destroyed, this is not my home and I will never accept it. There. So systematic destruction has been common place. In fact, so many people cry about the Jews and the Holocaust, but, please, please, eugenics was a program of destroying all races that were thought to be "lesser" than the 'civilized' white man (who could not even value human life... right) and the Holocaust was the 'largest' of such persecutions - but before that *many* races were experimented on and tortured. So, to me, making a big point of the Holocaust being so damaging to the human race is actually a way of distorting the truth of what the program of Eugenics was about. Destroying all people non-white - and Hitler was not the only one taking part in this belief system. Location: Devils Curve, Peru. Date: June 5th, 2009 Indigenous Weapons: Spears, Bows & Arrows Police Weapons: Machine Guns, Tear Gas, Armored Vehicles While there is very little news coverage, very few pictures, but a lot of internet press, it is said that the people were protesting the sale of some 200,000 sq. miles of their territory to be transformed into mining properties and deforestation projects. The police began to fire their automatic weapons and tear gas directly into the crowd, and while it is simply ludacris to believe these killers and thieves, they say somewhere around 20 police were killed, and 70 indigenous. This is very recent news, it is very covered up, and it is directly related to every single Affluent persons support for their comfort and way of life. My belief is that this level of industrialization has only been sustained for two to three generations at most, and will only be able to sustain for two or three more generations, at most. It is fine to be caught up in the new release of cell phones and fancy cars so that you can't see reality, and only run from appointment to appointment. But know that you are a sheep, a sheep pulling a boat of proportions grander than you can even see, which carries the carcasses and blood of every murdered and enslaved indigenous person from every part of the globe. Remember, you support it. Labels: indigenous culture destruction comfort affluent
There is a quote posted on the D.A.C. lab at SBCC, that says
"Art is either plagerism or revolution." Some places I've read state that it means 'either art is copied or brand new'. However, I have a different perspective. The inherent perspective inherited by most caucasian's has absolutely no loss. No pain. Simply the pleasure afforded by all of the indigenous people's that have been exploited, so that they can live in high rises and drive cars. So, I think that the quote means, either the art has been created for no reason, with no heart, with no purpose, or it has been created to encourage "revolution" - which if you aren't intelligent and aware enough means a revolution against these mindsets that think that the destruction of sacred life and of the earth is simply a game that will restart it self after some time. Tuesday, June 16, 2009Wikipedia: Emotional Expressions & Cultures
Bases of cultural differences
Self construal The way a person perceives her/himself in relation to the surrounding human environment affects one’s emotional world. Collectivistic cultures emphasize the fundamental relatedness of individuals to each other, for example by valuing attending to others, fitting in, and harmonious interdependence with them. Thus the self in collectivistic cultures is interdependent, and the individual is focused predominantly on his or her relationship with ingroup members or with the ingroup as a whole. In individualistic cultures, on the other hand, individuals hold an independent view of the self and seek to maintain their independence from others by attending to the self and by discovering and expressing their unique inner attributes.[3] Subjective vs. objective emotions The view of the self as independent in individualistic cultures leads to the perception of emotions as a unique personal experience. The emotional reality is therefore taken as subjective: different people are expected to have different emotional worlds, and to react in different ways to the same experiences. On the contrary, in collectivistic cultures, emotions are experienced out of relationships. They reflect the outer, rather than the inner world and are therefore taken as objective: it is assumed that all people experience the same emotion in a given social situation. Self and emotions The construal of the self affect the personal emotional experienced. The need to enhance the self and its independence in individualistic cultures leads to prevalence of emotions that stress the uniqueness and separation of the individual. In collectivistic cultures emotion relate more to the relationships with others and to the fitness of the individual to its social environment. Hence, the same situation might lead to different emotions in collectivistic and in individualistic cultures. In a research held by Mesquita (2001) it was found that achievements related to higher education in Turkey (a collectivistic culture) led to pride as a result of the honor brought to the family, while in Holland (an individualistic culture) similar achievements led to self satisfaction and content. Cultural norms for emotions Social norms exist for various aspects of emotions. General emotional norms: what emotions are considered to be good or bad? Which should be more prevalent? Feeling rules: how should one feel when encountering certain event (does being criticized lead to anger or embarrassment?) Display rules: how should one act when experiencing certain emotion (does anger manifest as aggression or withdrawal?) While individualistic cultures are loose regarding to the display rules (one can express one's feelings as preferred at the moment), norms for positive feeling rules in individualistic cultures are very tight. According to those norms, one should be happy and strive for happiness, and if one is not happy, that means one has failed to achieve life’s goals[4]. In collectivistic cultures such as China, the feeling rules are rather loose: there are no strict expectations about how one should generally feel. However, the display rules are much tighter: there are certain expectations about the way one should show one's feelings in a given context. For example, Confucian cultures consider expression of emotions (both positive and negative) as a possible threat to the social order. Hence, the norms are of not-showing personal emotions. One may feel as one pleases, as long as one doesn’t express it. Monday, June 15, 2009Between You And Me ...
The "idea" is that in between you and me, in between your perception of
my energies and my expression of them, is various constructs of thought. Each human has an area of their mind that is prepared to interpret the signals and impulses that it receives, and control if this 'place' is sought after by everyone and everything. Of course its different for everyone, this "place", but the commonalities can be found described in books that none of us will likely ever see. Gaining control of this place is my own conquest, my own sovereignty, and my own home. At some point these maps begin to make themselves, fueled by the initial momentum of the original programs. Its the kind of thing that makes people wonder "why did I do that? ... or think that?" - because no, none of us is under our own control and volition, there are just many people who play on that fact in various ways. You see, the truth is a fire, and I will now hold it. "I'm from where their too pussy to come film survivor ..." Immortal Technique Saturday, June 13, 2009devils curve, peru
peril, peril ye who walk here, for this is not real, not one bit of it,
only the strings holding it all together are, and even then, they are just strings ... [so watch how you walk. don't fall. all is sacred.] I cannot believe that in 2009 there is still such serious devaluation of life propagated all the way to ... well folks, I believe it goes all the way to the buttons and screens you are pushing now, this unsustainable technology that we are all becoming so comfortable with, these global products that we consume and take advantage of and "need", though there is "no way" to get away from it ... well, thats in the box, but I'll tell you, I don't even got a box no more, its just a fuckin dot. Try and get out of that. [they dodge, but thay cannot hide] The fact of the matter is that at the age of 30, I feel awed and afraid and *prepared* to walk up a long mountain road, to the utmost top, and receive a vision from .. the elders .. the gods .. The fact of the matter is that in 2009 most people find drugs by accident or as a seeming escape, but 5000 years ago indigenous tribes *most likely* routinely introduced the world of the 'real' and the humility of the psychedelic experience to their young through ancient (then!) ritual, when they were *teens* - 13? 14? So as a culture we are immature. Knowing that now reject everything you think you know or have been told and go crazy for a while, its *OK*, and now try and integrate all of this "stuff" you feel with all of these things you "suddenly" seem to know. It is no mistake, there is no "god", there is no difference between science and religion, there is no alternation between right-wing and left-wing, globalism is capitalism is imperialism is slavery is right now is going on is tomorrow is next year is ten years from now is your childrens future is their childrens future. If you fucks don't all wake up and microscope on these Rothchild lunatics, or gods, whichever it may be, pay attention to the fine points and government reactions to the 9/11 farce, respond by accepting that the 'truth' will require a jarring to your consciousness, unless you 'want' it to be 'gradual' - in which case you are personally choosing to limit your awareness of truth and slowing down your trott on the road to self realization. I denounce all things popular, everything not chewed on and understood by my own eyes ears hands and mind, even much of 'new age' and spiritual explanations for the state of the world, (and I only say that because I'm *surrounded* by these nuts) I can only add up that probably eighty-five percent of ya'll are in necklace, and you can do the rest of the math. I reject everything but my own intuition, and even then, I take turns fully rejecting that. Follow me. For a moment, and then forge your own path. There are millions of unpaved roads in this universe. The only thing being utterly controlled has taught me is .. that I can utterly control. It is a method, and those intuitive can decipher anything they see and regurgitate it back with high likeness. I shall only begin to work on what I must send to the future in absence of my life, as these are going to be the only things that will last to possibly tell the future of what has happened and that it may happen again.

Some modifications.
I am convinced that I have an idea that many others do not have or do not dwell on and recognize its importance and relevance and utilization. Dealing with this information is incredibly stressful, as is attempting to create a monument to reflect on this situation, and either dispel the delusions of grandiosity or to put forth positive purpose and action into the world. [Idiocracy]
To quickly put reality into perspective, the idea that we all inhabit an 'illusory' world as described by the hindus and even plato, is the momentum of thoughts which were put into place long before we ever did, and which are the initial 'shell' into which a human being emerges into. These thoughts, these cultures, these beliefs, these customs, along with genetic tendancies, when left unknown, create a self-projecting illusion world, which in nearly every way will synchronize with what is both actual and consensus, but depending on the level of immersion into the illusion, will always lead to ... living life again in the shell. better luck next time.
So, to contextualize this all, I ran into a youtube video about HPPD: Hallucinogenic Perception Persistent Disorder. If you don't know by now I do not categorize things as 'disordered' when I cannot understand them -- especially when the body of knowledge that I am drawing on is cultural and not objective -- when the body of knowledge that I am drawing on is in its infancy (25 years ago this was the realm of shock treatment and lobotomies, ya'll). So I do not plant in my head that I have been experiencing HPPD for the past 10 years. Because as the map above explains, (which is not complete - thought discrimination?), what you think creates an expectation for what you think is possible - i.e. your destiny. So I put forth that a majority of "mental illness", "anti-social behavior", and other selfish, destructive acts and modes of life, are a result of improper thoughts, on whatever foundation, which is gained during childhood usually from genetic/environmental contact. That is, your parents could have some pretty poor thought process for some fundamental thing, either regarding self awareness, social awareness, productivity, decision making,dealing with emotions, self importance, mating, or any combination, which when given attention and focused on can cause great disaster, as anyone in this world can see, having drastic measures with bad plans results in ... having plans that don't really make sense ... are just a result of momentum ... What are some old trains of thought? I believe religion is a great one. In some ways it is a good thing, but overall I feel it to be a cultural legacy which has outgrown its overall effectiveness and usefulness, though still serves as a foundation for many things in this society, and world, through our societies beliefs on its relation and potentials in the world. Well, don't let it get to your head. Who needs a creative, non-rational thinker in todays world? I do .. society doesn't. So, to drive the nail in further, the quest of the psychedelic knowledge here has been drowned out by pleasure seekers, know-it-alls, feel-instead-of-think hippies who have some of the ideas ... LOL! I think the psychedelic experience is the key to gaining true insight into the nature of reality and the distinction between what we percieve and project and what is *actually* existing .. that amongst a lot of things - and I don't think people have to "do" the drugs, either. Medical marijuana is cool and all that ... but I think psychedelic research is much more important, on a grand scale. Besides, drugs being illegal is another faulty, useless, relic from the past that needs to be 'updated' with better information and handeling. So, relevance? These are all of my struggles at attempting to stay sane in this insane world. Or, put properly, I had to go insane to stay sane here. Put another way .. freedom is great. But with that freedom you have to create your own boundaries, and somehow I forgot a lot of fundamental things that most people are passed down and or know inherantly. So this is my creating of a universe. So tiring. Lots of stuff to fill in. Sunday, May 03, 2009The Daily Diagnosis
Why? Why is it so unique? Why is it so off base?
So I haven't written here in a long time. Truth is, I haven't published any of my thoughts, besides on facebook and a few other things. My thoughts need to be highly documented. I am convinced that I have an idea that many other people do not have. Dealing with this information is incredibly stressful. So, here are some random snippets: "I'm tellin ya, if you put water on the crops, it might actually...... No, it will, [make the crops grow]!!!" Ok so. The main hypothesis here is as follows:
If what you know is hierarchal, and builds on what "was true" -- as culture advances, as knowledge 'increases' - how do such "fundamental" ideas change the knowing of later acquired information? In the computer world, the analogy would be: the kernel/framework/foundation changes, and all modules, and programs, need a 'slight' update to work properly - that is, all programs that were properly planned in the first place. So how does this equate to culture? I believe culture to be a 'legacy' - that is, all popular culture, all consensus reality, is a uniformly accepted 'transmission' of information, that essentially is a past reflection and exaggeration of events that were not transmitted as they happened objectively - a 'caricature' of what was 'now' and 'reality' at some point. So, the supposition is as follows: If we build our knowledge in a hierarchal nature - and one of the quite fundamental relations changes state - how do we update the consequentially related information? What is the 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to culture?? I will put forth that as man ages, the nature of his consciousness changes, and also how he acquires and equates information, which heavily effects his perspective on the world and _also_ his expectations of what he is capable of, which ultimately adds up to there being a current cognitive dissonance which is widely accept as being "ok" in popular culture, which is greatly aged and stagnant, and needs to be updated. Hot stuff ya'll. This is where we are. Religion and history as a self-reflective record of where our thought and energy has been focused. What do you spend most of your mental energy on? As we think, connections are reinforced, other connections are way-sided, and solutions are increased. So what happens as we age? To our memory? And our ability to learn? And our ability to concentrate and choose what to focus on? And our perspective? And the ability to judge new information, and integrate it into our entire world-view?

at one point in my life it seemed natural, my thoughts the albert hoffman collection is available at http://www.erowid.org/references/hofmann_collection.php and seems to be an incredible place for current neurological and psychological students to go. 1138 is on. lots of good samples. i didn't mean to do this to my self.. i can see sometime in the future, 20 years, 50 years, 100 years, the psyche and its physical/chemical nature being much better understood. thats not all though, the social side of humans may need re-examining ... $950 a month to live in southern california. who is kidding who? Assuming some miracle place for less than $700 .. lifes kinda hard. whats the use of the skills now? cannot concentrate, prioritize, socialize. whatever you want in this world you will get it. the nature of perception - you will find something that matches your idea of what you wanted, while ignoring all that does not match. a book needs to be written about perception. if its already been, i wouldn't even know how to craft a google packet for it. [gatorade&beer] so many days go by .. so what did you do? after all you did what did it matter when you saw me? lots of why no how. a hodge podge meal of scraps left by our overseers, ourselves, not to be confused with I, that which manipulates. drugs that alter focus: which could be the foundation of the human consciousness - focusing on a problem, and keeping that problem in mind while evaluating related solutions .. a lesser being doesn't know what to focus on, instinct and survival use much of the time spent in thought. i was told that %70 of all inner thought is negative. i've realized that i am paralyzed in fear, and wonder about all of the "other" parts of me that i don't acknowledge, those negative parts stuck in painful thought loops .. blogspot.com exclusive! got a room for a week with a friend. jake is like a little kid. you can't trust him to do anything correctly, pay attention to anything, or even communicate with him effectively. he doesn't seem to notice, and gets upset when you point out that he stopped focusing on what he was doing and came up with an incredibly unpredictable result, like putting a cigarette out in the coffee or borrowing a phone to make a call, and returning it powered off .. now thats hip hop. theres enough for everybody. You Have Five Seconds To Remember This Sentance You Have Five Seconds To Remember This Sentance You Have Five Seconds To Remember This Sentance (you'd remember after the third time) (it stops repeating but you still are under its effect) my mind is no longer a tool and is more of a means for entertainment, on my behalf, everyone gets to laugh at me, and my stunted progress, my apparent high functionality, with the dismal results. family that encourages the dysfunctional behavior, unconsciously, who am I? watching a 12 and 9 year old mimic their parents responses on *certain* subjects, but word for word, with a similar tone .. do they rehash these utterances and decide what is compatible with "them"? death seems like the shortcut to all of these experiences I am due for, all of these struggles and successes, but reincarnation and karma have got me thinking ... i only got here because earlier versions of me struggled and succeeded. i inherit their essences. wanna drink? *wanna smoke a rock?* ?wanna shootup? that easy up to you to decide you and all of the billions of connections that you will make throughout time, past and future, and all of the influence your sentience will exert .. if i could just focus. im watching jake travel through his mind, and take notice of the world occasionally, clumsily, as an afterthought ... i'm apt-get dist-upgrading and watching hundreds of packages be held back, and installing scratchbox and maemo 4.1 for the nogate .. i'm confused ... straight to the presses, if we had time to edit the revisions would have been much better .. but we're in this room with an hourly rate. so no time to dilly dally, must sleep now. i tell you i swear!! when i was young i wanted to compile an openbsd box from source then compile it again after booting the results. wish i could do the same with my mind! that outside place, that room with that chair and that monitor and keyboard that connect to such a system, that room is destroyed, in permanent hurricane territory, tornadoes and sharks and terrorists and hippies all inhabit this room, all with weapons of mass confusion, dealing their death of distraction, loud noises sounding, lights flashing ... a twist of the tongue and a twiddle of the pen who am i telling this to? obviously not you.

If I can create synchronicity in my life and perception,
does that decrease its signifigance? Many people see synchronicity as a heavenly message, a sign that things are going the right way, that there is more to what is being percieved. Through various forms of sense-deprivation, and perceptual aggrivation through psychotropic chemicals, synchronicity can become common place. I have experienced days and more full of synchronicity. I still am open as to what this means. Dedication - Nelly Josiris Sanches (Isaleau)
would you rather have a selection of suitable men that you could fall in love
with and have children with when you are ready or would you rather have one dedicated man who is ready at any time and would give his all to you? both must be ready at similar intervals, but being placed on a queue is not the greatest feeling lots of learning to do about female interaction, i admit, and i'm going to do it to you friends are like lovers without sex - but I can't agree fully, sharing sexuality, even at an intellectual level, causes disruption in my view. in the past having female friends was not a regular occurance - now sexuality is so open and easily exchanged. that may be a good thing but it must have restrictions. i know i'll be thinking of you on my death bed ... Green Juice / Apple Grape Juice / Almond Milk
Trader Joes Green Juice - with a peach flavour.
Almond milk with cane sugar (??) which makes it nice and sweet. Apple grape juice which lessens the thickness of the green juice. Reminds me greatly of orange creme drinks/ice pops, which are a favorite taste of mine. A drink with fruit, vegetables, green nutrients, and protein.

We will live here!"![]() (posted to the las vegas linux users group mailing list) So my eyes opened wide when I saw my first EEE at the last meeting. But I was offered a good deal on an n800 by someone who couldn't use it to its full potential, so I had to get it. "Linux? Whats linux? I want to play music on my phone ..." http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8033409446.html I began by playing around with the default install of 2007 for a bit. My first impulse was to configure video chat and send it to a relative, but soon I saw that gTalk on the PC didn't support video calls, while the client on the n800 did ... http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HOWTO_FlashLatestNokiaImageWithLinux So I had to update to 2008. The first problem I ran into was the error "To flash the bootloader, you have to supply the X-Loader..." after downloading the earlier version of 2008. Using the latest version worked very well. The interface was nicer, but took up more of the screen. Overall it was faster as it clocked the CPU to 400mhz instead of the 2007's speed of 333mhz. I have been using the device a lot since I got it; I charge it at night and when I am near a plug, and haven't noticed a big difference in the battery life. My second task was to get shell access - luckily ossi-xterm was included in 2008. Typing wasn't very fun at first, using the stylus and smaller keyboard, until I discovered the full-screen keyboard, which you can essentially thumb. Fully debian underneath, apt-get works and there is even a trick to get root: "sudo gainroot". After setting a root password sudo will still ask for a password, but I don't use sudo normally so I haven't gotten to making that work. I set a user password also; (the default user is "user"). Then I went about happily installing many, many applications. http://www.gronmayer.com/it/ This page contains a collection of n800 repositories. Navigable from the devices built in browser, it is very easy to add them. I am still not sure as to which are worthy and which cause confusion - my application manager is full of various similarly named categories, and viewing the entire list is tedious, as the column for version numbers overrides the column for names .. making most of the names unreadable. I just ran through it by category. The first program installed was SSH, and off to my desktop I went, looking through the filesystem with greater ease.. I have to go, but first I will tell of my experience with video chat. Using gizmo5 which is linked from the default menu, the compression seems to cause lots of artifacts. The audio is good, and the incoming video is good, but the video the n800 produces is sub-par. There may be other possibilities and I will try them out soon enough. A word about the camera - it seems to produce lots of staticy artifacts. I have noticed that when it is turning on, at one point while it is brightening up, it produces a very good picture. Maybe it allows in too much light? Neither the supplied camera application or the downloaded Knips allow any tuning of the camera which is a shame. I am now in #maemo as well as #lvlug and will share any more information I gain in due time. Chad Monday, June 16, 2008running on fumes
how can a mind create a visual and rational (seemingly) imagination with no energy ...
"its like running on fumes, but it behaving like nitrous ..." "your subconcious mind doesn't need energy, the conscious mind runs on energy" after having had respectable amount of sleep for several days, barely being able to form coherent, focused thought streams, passing out into slumber produces dreams with such strength that i feel as if i were almost awake. perhaps, awake in another way. the extent of psychosomatic conditioning
as a child your mother heavily scolds you for doing something wrong.
found under the cabinet drinking tide, you are jerked out of the kitchen and beaten first with a shoe, then a belt, and then punched and kicked. the intention was to show you that such behavior was unacceptable. how many of you agree that the punishment was correct, if a bit harsh? you are now thirty years old. you have been eating take out and fast food since that event. let us assume that the tide was just about to touch your lips and it was not responsible for any brain damage. you have never felt comfortable in a kitchen. you cannot cook, you have very weird eating habits and diets. whenever you sit too close to the kitchen in a resturaunt you begin to break out in hives. in your day to day life to persuade people to eat various things, tell them to eat out and not cook. you have many rationalizations on the dangers of cooking for ones self.
I posted this message to http://ldroadie.blogspot.com/2007/04/psychosomatic-conditioning.html :
Really interesting post. Insightful. I'm not a cyclist, or a psychologist, but I just thought up the phrase "psychosomatic conditioning" and there you are. I really wonder the extent of it in everyday life. I might wonder forever though. Sunday, June 01, 2008third eye schizm

Composure lost
I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to keep my composure right now. Internally there are fires and revolutions and wars and constant bloodshed the land of the rational vs the land of the children I'm watching my self jump up and down, throwing a tantrum, pointing at the invisible to you, but tangible to me, source of all of this pain I am not lost though every sense in my body tells me so This document serves as a marker, as home, as my future, and as my past. A decision must be made immediatly regarding where I will live from now on. I have never made this decision before. If I have, it is not currently apparent. You see, even though I may laugh I am very depressed. Even though I may smile there is not enough joy in my heart to produce such a response. I don't know where it comes from. I am mad, I am insane, I am not under my own volition Control has been subjugated to various unknown entities acting under the guise of me. An inquiry As I sit here in wonderment of my own faculties and principles I ponder the things that so many consider simple and take for granted. Only through this inquiry will I find out where you stand. When I am at the top of my cycle, full of energy, exuberant, interesting, and magnetic, are you attracted to those qualities that I exhibit? Because without a doubt I can tell you that my psyche will visit places with terrain so unfamiliar as to require an entirely different set of survival skills. When I am lethargic, slow, angry, reclusive, and depressed, will you recognize who I am? What is said of my character, of a personality which changes in a predictable but unknowable cycle? As I can visualize some of you already walking away, I can understand. We have not built up a bond strong enough to withstand these stresses. Stresses of logic and comfort, distortions of perceptions already built and accustomed to seeing things in one way and one way only. After so long I guess I am not quite sure how to do it; either that, or I do, but I have never focused all of my energy into doing it. Such is life, no one can save you, you must save your self. Thanks for reading this, at least, friend, and I know that one day some part of me will come out of you, somewhere, at some time, for some reason ... Ahh. The reason.

An exchange regarding relationships - m4w (las vegas baby)
Date: 2008-05-08, 4:52PM PDT Having the desire to know everything about someone, spend copious amounts of time with them, trust them, please and sacrifice for them, is not the only pre- requisite for being able to have that type of relationship. How do I know? I'm 28 have had no romantic life to speak of, dating back to childhood. I am attuned to psychological interpretations of how humans behave; possibly to the point of inhibiting any normal connections being made. Its also severely difficult to just maintain friendships with women when I've felt the need for a deep relationship all of my life, and I often become infatuated or obsessed over any female that shows me attention or casual affection. Such is life, I have posted here looking for mates but I've concluded that if you don't know who you are, you don't know who you will be compatible with. So now I am simply interested in conversing on the complicated topic of interpersonal relationships. I figure a lot of people have similar problems, I have seen too many beautiful women who never seemed to have good relationships. This discourse can be conducted over e-mail, instant messaging, or irc. Your story gets mine, or vice versa. (g) I've also been reading "Toward a Lasting Romantic Relationship" by Edith Packer, which brought me to this conclusion. (capitalism.net) Take care.

calling all cons, all the overlooked
time is running out, world is overcooked fire in the sky, evil in the street blood is everywhere, haven't been to sleep teeth are falling out, eyes are turning red curled up in a ball, on a burning bed beaten to a pulp, stronger than a horse reality is cruel, so we're men of course war is being waged, bridges being built forests being cut, truth is being killed someone better pay, sharpen all the knives swallow all the swords, don't apologize teach a man to fish, take away his rights you can run away, you can stay and fight helicopter blades, ordinary god artificial limbs, ignored and very odd written on a wall, hidden in a book television screams, but i didn't look put it in your mouth, paint it black and white everything is wrong, thats exactly right whats the bottom line? demolish all the clocks, smash the telephone try to call the cops, free the prisoners get your money back, break it into bits they'll come running back tell them all to go to hell, stay in bed turn the tables over, no more playing dead every move you make, being monitored not a place to hide, nothing not a word thoughts are on the loose, slowly going blind bombs are being dropped, only blowing minds pages filling up, tremors all around spells are being cast, men are falling down scary scary thoughts, very very bad, very very bad, very very bad someones at the door, shouldn't let them in make a better plan, take your medicine do the dirty work, do your duty first music in the world, all the beauty hurts rearrange the room, dead at 28 wish it wasnt so, gone at any rate what you looking at? reflection in the spoon say the magic words, your turn is coming soon torture chamber walls, cemetary song body slowing down, mind is very strong all i need is books, kisses on my face use to have the touch, this is gone to waste eyes and ears and hands, tangled in the wire pushed over the ledge, strangled in the fire flowers in the trash, sleepin on the floor looking for a place, no ones gone before air conditioner, waiting for a train focus on the source, can't ignore the pain can't describe the sound, sick of being asked living in a hole, now i'm free at last this is what its like, try it on for size walk around the block, limited supplies dishes in the sink, kittens in the lake start your praying when, bow begins to break not a chance in hell, cows are coming home set the woods on fire, borrow someones phone borrow someones phone, call the number now miracles are done, and i wonder how, and i wonder where, and i wonder what, and i wonder when, and i wonder who [chorus] why can't i do right, and will i die to night step out in my sleep, slept out in the street dogs and guns and stars, gods and funds and stars, tell tell, it it, like like, tell it like it is .. Wednesday, September 19, 2007the path to enlightenment is unpaved and discontinuous - and has no survival value for society
I just finished the book by George Jaidar.
After that I began reading U.G. Krishnamurti's views on spirituality and enlightenment, in Mind as Myth. (Its funny, jct was my original username on escape.com in the mid 90's). The Soul is basically an exposition on spiritual enlightenment from a cultural conditioning standpoint; it makes the argument that religion is more a method of control, which Krishnamurti says is likened to police control, one being internal, one being external. It gives ideas on how conditioning effects a being, (the mind being the conditioning and memories and dreams and a born talker), and that this conditioning is for surviving in society. Looking back at Buddhism it seems a lot of it is conditioning, and paired with Krishnamurti's cynical yet clear views of enlightenment, it seems that it doesn't even exist. (Yes, a panacea for existence, sounds like a form of desire.) So I contemplated becoming a materialist; that is, all that exists is the body. You cannot see anything really, all that you can see is thought, for thought is the determining factor that judges and controls and wishes to forever stay continuous, and for everything to be knowable; though reality is discontinuous and unknowable. Though thought is already dead, it asserts that life goes on forever, and creates entire worlds in which to immerse in, validifying (at least to itself) that there is a reason to live. But what about the body? The body knows no difference between pain and pleasure, good and bad, all it does is live and recreate. Thought is the method through which it lives; conditioning is neccesary for survival in society.. So why are there so many apparent problems in society? There aren't, actually. As long as we are all surviving and feeding the machine nothing needs to change, it will in due time and some of us have interests in bringing about that change, while others will simply be able to use the system to seemingly satisfy themselves. So all of this seems fine. I had no interest in these things until I was 19, indeed I didn't think at all about the future (despair), and lived in a world created by excess fear. That changed and now I live in a world influenced by fear but mainly shaped by hope and desire. Desire which doesn't exist and which removes my own power. Hmm .. what do I want with power anyway? This was great for me, I always had something to chase, and always something to run from, all the while thinking that I simply wanted to stand still. But I was standing still .. -- I woke up at 4am for no apparent reason; from no memorable dream. I hopped on IRC and found inhahe unable to sleep also, and jokingly remarked "wow suuuch a funny coincidence!!". An hour later though, the old man who lives with my Grandma was up at 5am .. making food, and being pretty loud, something I've never seen before. Coincidence or not? Does it really matter? (It seems he was going somewhere, and the wireless being down and me being on the modem at the time stopped some call from coming in for a ride he was waiting for.) There are definitally many things beyond the limited vehicle of thought. We can make that up into many myths and explain many experiences in many ways. If they are true or not we will probably never know until science "proves" it. I'm compelled to inquire about all of this, as there is something about my experience and physiology that seems .. different. Oh and I want attention. Perception is reality. We see what we expect to see. And [our] language is woefully inadaquate at actually describing reality. None of these things matter in the grand picture, for if something doesn't have survival value for society it never really comes about in sanctioned ways. While we may want things to change they may or may not; desire has the common factor of always being stronger as the hope of something that will make you better and stronger, but as it is recieved you realize that it wasn't really what you wanted; reinforcing the desire to get the one thing that you thought you did want. Past and future. Who is here now? What is there to do in the now? Probably just enjoy it. But even that is something the body doesn't need. Seems like a desire. Sounds like I don't want to survive in society, thanks though. Malenculturation takes its tolls .. Signing off, your tripped out investigator from the fringes of humanity and the edges of sanity, the mad-capped mental scientist determined to prove that life exists - Chad Tuesday, September 18, 2007this very moment is the only moment that there is
you cannot desire it
you can just be in it. you can just enjoy it. - Osho young people
There was once a young girl
Who went by a name unknown Though her body was young It was her mind that had grown She would dream of a world Far away but so close And would seek out the souls Who would show what she knows Though her beauty was complete She could live as if it were not so And strive for these dreams And where they would go She had hair made of gold And diamonds for eyes A highly contageous smile Expensive and spry Though no one could tell her She held her own soul And would search endlessly For aeons untold Fingers quick filled with energy They would pen down the day She could release her own self From the whims of dismay From the whims of dismay Came the blood of her life That would set her soul free And relieve all the strife To relive the times passed Was a thought often held And a lover of worth For their two minds to meld She was noticed by many Though appreciated by few And the end of this story I shall leave up to you. -- There was once a young man That had traveled alone For a time so long That the world seemed his own Though he knew it untrue His mind saw only him He would go place to place And keep moving on whim He lacked the simple touch Of his life to a pen And would write feverously To free his self from this sin And at night he would arrive To a house warm and full of light But would leave in the morn Feeling worn and disliked Though no one soul could tell him He wandered in ways of old Down roads unnamed and unpaved and a temperature so cold He would smile happily And the sun would be jealous But when the moon took its place His dreams would be hellish And he walks to this day Searching for that place better And for you to end this story is the point of this letter. Thursday, September 13, 2007bring magic to the world
this life seemed to offer 3 paths to take
1, of being a normal, slightly creative and intelligent, but otherwise socially inept, repressed, human. 3, of being a raving, conspiracy driven, highly delusional guy in and out of institutions and reality, constantly medicated and/or doped up, doomed to die in some alley way in some small city ... 2, of being a magic maker. nope, there are few schools that teach this profession, except for the magical world itself, and though no one around me quite understands the implications of this path, i steadily trod it hoping for great reward .. though i may spend my entire life traveling. my purpose is perfection perfection through infinite possibilities the internet is down
the internet has gone out, which is something that happens regularly
when you rely on someone elses apparent carelessness. it seems to happen here pretty often, and it only comes back on when they go and reset their modem ... i had a dream i was on some island this afternoon. i barely remember most of it. the other day i had a dream that my great grandmother was a sort of opera singer, but the way she used her voice was dreamlike, nothing like i've ever heard. i was there talking to someone about making techno and he didn't seem to like my suggestions. i had a dream about this girl. we were in some dark city, but i remember talking to her. before that i had a dream where my grade school class was in some sort of room, eating chicken, and i gave her my laptop. she disappeared, and everyone left, except for my friend, and i told him something regarding that she was going to be my girlfriend. my desire seems to increase exponentially when a female is the subject. i don't understand why. i've been without the appreciation of a woman for so long that it doesn't even seem possible now; i was in love when i was 22, with a very nice woman, but we were mainly connected physically, which then became an emotional connection, which eventually ended up in fighting. at least i got to know what it feels like, but even in retrospect it didn't seem quite right. looking back it probaly failed because we were both inexperienced and didn't talk about what we actually needed, though she was several years older than me. looking at her life now she is still alone, and seems to work with children out of a need to nurture others. well i have those same needs but conditioning and confusion have complicated their attainment. it would be nice if humans were perfect .. i've watched my karma repeat and unfold in mysterious but predictable ways. i'm good at watching it but not so good at changing it. maybe i'm not as interested in changing it as i am in eradicating it all. being an ascetic. the hunch that this world was an illusion was uncovered when i was pretty young. i have magic. but it more has me as i'm not able to control it very well. people without magic attempt to devalue mine, or people who have it and don't know or understand it do the same. look me over. my ideas on the nature of reality, many of which i developed in seclusion, were seen mirrored in ancient texts. i know i'm not that crazy at least. but to share this life is always a goal. it just might be a false desire though. i need to work on my self and the extents to which my mind travels scares the shit out of anyone who is not used to it, or has not seen it before. which makes doing this alone seem all the more plausable. i'm not attached to any certain way of this working itself out, i'm just floating .. i'm ultra-creative. my muse is just shy. i've attempted to honour her and found ways to do that, but its hard, fasting, praying, coming down and being more aware of my consciousness. no one knows what those things are for, they think that being surrounded by stimulation constantly will set them free. maybe for them. but i have bigger dreams ... so the internet went down so i started writing. hmm. from stoner to loner
Drugs drugs drugs .. I've done a lot of them, and sometimes the experience was
good, sometimes it was bad; sometimes I saw my self change from it, others I just wanted more. A big part of the drug scene is the social aspect. Some people have problems socializing with others out of context; that is to say, if they are not in a school, not working a job, not in any groups or programmes, then there is nothing that connects them to the people around them. Or if the people that they do have a chance to socialize with are just radically different ... So the times that I have stopped using drugs were times when I had to find new social groups. My best friend is a pothead, and I can only take so much tempting from him. A lot of my friends are brought together by pot, by acid, by the search and the relaxation and the persecution, and often when either of us begins to see a negative effect on our lives because of this usage, we are immediatly out of the group. "Hey man, I quit smoking" is a common phrase heard as you pass someone who you used to hang out with, usually on the way to find some more. Often times though, you find solace in the experience, that you share visions with someone, that they have similar thoughts on philosophy, religion, and morales, and also that there is often an urge to express, through music, through writing, through drawing. Some of them were quite good at what they did, but had no motivation to go through with this coming out of expressionism, often they sobered up and just became workaholics. Some people went crazy. Some people just wanted to escape from themselves. Some just wanted life to be interesting because normally it didn't seem so. Some were lonely and appreciated the added dimensions the drugs showed them. Some were just addicted. I was all of these and none of them at the same time. I do very well sober and can even take some company that is intoxicated. I'm different from a lot of druggies though; before I first began to use any types of drugs I read a *lot* about it. Surely you can't learn something solely from reading about it, but as I saw more and more blatent discrimination and misinformation being expressed by people who seemed to be operating out of fear and were afraid to lose control, I decided to give them a try, and its lead my life since then. Kundalini began to arouse. A few weeks after I began to smoke pot at 18, I felt an odd, but not unpleasant, burning sensation at the end of my tailbone. Later that day I had my first vision, after which I passed out for more than 20 hours. A year later I was connected with the first woman I ever got to know, again because of pot, and we both lost our minds that year, but they came back, at least for ME, but I got to experience the Oakland Rave Scene, and psychedelics, and exctasy .. Anyhow after my mind began to stop working like it had normally worked I noticed that I had never enquired as to why my mind was doing what it did. Why I was who I was. I was mainly depressed and repressed and antisocial and unconfident with low self-esteem. Until the point that I lost my mind .. I got to look at how I was, and made a decision to change it. I found little information about my experience, and how the mind was actually composed, in modern psychiatry. I found lots of information on this in spiritual information, the kind weaved in and out of all things religious. Desire kept us alive. Nowadays I just have lots of anxiety. I've found that my diet is my drug of choice, that I eat to satisfy transitory emotions, and that it has profound effects on my mood and energy level. Though with desires as strong as mine are its hard to choose a diet of light food, vegetables, fruits, regular cleansing. A lot of the problems I have are symbolic. Some of them disappear with the slightest of approaches. The constant changing though ... Well, I'm still pretty delusional. I get to look at things from varying perspectives, I'd say. I have poor control of the excess amounts of creative energy I possess. I donno what to do. I live the life of someone in a movie. I've met the directors and discussed various plot changes, so all is not as bad as it seems. They keep giving me hints of what to say. Everyone else has a script but I have the privilage of being able to improvise. Constantly. Some day I'll write a book about all of the things I've read and experienced. Then I'll probaly write another. 5 pages a day. 5 days a week. 3 months. 300 pages. Could I use some editing skill? Lots of material to draw upon. So this isn't all about drugs and social groups but drugs played a big part in me seeing through the illusions that were shown to me regarding life in the "real" world. For instance, I've met two people who say they were able to remove their need for glasses. But a doctor would never tell you about that, he just has to give you a prescription and increase it over time, guaranteeing him money. I might not get my vision back 20/20, but I might not have to wear these damned things ever again ... So through all of this I've learned to trust in signs and visions more than anything else. And to look at the stars when I was uncertain as to which way to go. I still remember the sign I saw on the day I asked if I should retreat to the mountains and vision quest, or try and have a relationship with a woman. It was clear as day though the night was dark. It didn't tell me which woman I should be with though; only that she would be shorter and probably plumper than I was. :D Oh, none of my time in the past was wasted, and through all of the confusion I have some good ideas. I could stop thinking now and just live off of pure inspiration. Or I could keep thinking and just stay in the atmosphere. Creativity is definitally divine. why i write
It all began on a cold night in a hotel room in Oakland.
I was sedated and out of my mind. I was seeing visions, closing my eyes and holding my hands in front of my eyes, and seeing the bones in my hands, and that image not fading. I was working on a C1XS picurebook named yesbook. I passed out that fateful night, and when I awoke that morning I found four lines of poetry beginning with "in the valley of awareness" .. The memory of writing those lines has eluded me; and except for someone coming into my room and knowing my password and leaving it there, I assume something in me wrote it. It was the first creative writing I had done in over a year, and its the only writing from that period of time that I still have; nay, remember in my head. ---- I speculate that I began to write in this manner to remember where I was and to express it to those around me. My memory is very strange; I feel compartmentalized in what are called my mood swings. ---- Almost two years later I began to get the urge again, to write. The first writing was on a crystal voyage with my companion Terry. It began 'while meticously maneuvering amongst unnacompanied metamorphosis' ... typed into a cell phone. It seemed to be more a message to my self, than any form of art to share. I look back at the pieces from my other lives and still find new ways to interpret them. Others seem to be able to utilize certain parts of my expression though. Some have made livings from these pains and misunderstandings, but the prospect of being prosperous from my poetry drives my desire even wilder .. ---- I wrote a few more things after that, culminating on the day of the Annointment. I'm still convinced, by circumstance, that these writings are not so much to be shared as they are for me to look over and study; kind of bringing information down from hypnosis, but I have a hard time looking back at my self. But in the sharing I often see things through others eyes that I couldn't see with my own. On the day of the Annointment I had recieved an Apple Newton. It lacks a keyboard and input was done with a stylus and onboard keypad. Walking down the bike path in Ojai something came to mind; I realised that there was always something in my mind to be written but I had never had a way to record it at the time. Oh if I were happy with just writing on paper .. which I'm not. So I began to write "I have been feeling very cold" and had finished a paragraph by the time I had reached a group of fellow indigents at 1913. After talking and hanging out for a bit more came to my mind; it was different though; it was so interesting that I found my self writing faster and faster to keep up with the thoughts. That night I began to write more and more. Soon I was lost in this transcription. It was if a muse had awaken, and was giving this little child candy in increasing amounts. I was sitting on the bench down from Rainbow Bridge at 9pm and wrote something that I haven't looked back on yet; "somehow I wrote down the perfect buzz"... That night I went home and began a ritual whose origins I am unaware of. I filled the small garage-turned-room I was living in with Jano into an incense filled landing signal. Six sticks burning, in 3 directions -- and I was the fourth. That night I wrote all night. I was on some private net, in the schizophrenia channel and began to write so much they were convinced I was simply pasting paragraphs. I have never, in my life, been in an altered state like that. It may have been related to the food and sleep deprivation caused by the intense depression I had experienced weeks before ... So anyway since that night my muse has had little trouble showing itself. It seems to be integrating into me, and I can be inspired by the smallest of occurances. My only fault is of not having focus, but there are times when that can even be a bonus. --- So I write to remember for my self. Its all diary writing. I also write to express to others what is happening to me. When it first began in 1999 I feverously used Google to find the odd word combinations that would arrise in my mind; and would find few results, but one of those results would be powerful and effect my world-view and questioning mind for the better .. so now I leave those same marks that I once was fueled by. A lot of the things that I experience are not fully understood by our current culture; a lot of the things I experience I read about and formulate my own ideas; a lot of the things I experience need further articulation and I believe one day I will be able to provide this articulation. Theres something really wrong but theres something really right, in this experience. The lonlieness will be overcome. One day someone, maybe me, will understand and utilize this. That day will be spectacular; the sun will stand still on this day. (looking back ... let there be light) Wednesday, September 12, 2007i asked my self a dangerous question, and the love died
the love died
i tell my self, when i am having dreams of her, that it is just me, attaching to desire, false desire. the dreams are not wholly pleasurable, they are mysterious and forgotten easily, and they seem to be of me reliving a childhood fantasy, than of an actual event. when i am thinking of her, i tell myself that they are because i want to know that she is happy, not always that she accepts me and knows how to deal with me. i guess it will pass, all of this energy i've built up in my self, with a little of her help, her not watching where her energy goes effeciently. i wanted to take a picture of a set of watermelons, descending in size, but at the right time, when the sunlight hit them perfectly, but i waited too long and the picture was gone. i am ok with missing the picture, there are always other pictures waiting to be captured and shared. i wonder why so much of my life is caught up in my childhood. what of those experiences has been under my radar for so long, and is being resurfaced in my self work. learning about sexuality before most people did, and not learning about female interaction way after the others, i wonder why i'm so self-centered and childish to this day.. a silly childhood dream to love and be loved by a woman. just dreams, they say, just my imagination that it might happen, just a coincidence that we would lock eyes and begin to fantasize .. just me picking at open wounds in feverish attempts to heal them. putting on a song that 9 months ago made me awefully sad, as I had connected it with a woman, but now it makes me happy. i listened to it thousands of times on repeat, for what reason? now i know it by heart. days on end, windows i'm changing, silent hands, like its a virtue, holding on to damaged truth, like its a weapon, meant to hurt you .. having dreams about prior lives, looking at the Grand Cross in the sky, wondering when saturn will stop affecting me as it has been this entire time. why does nothing fit into these categories i'm provided .. will i have to go out and make my own categories!? --- so I asked my self a dangerous question. it lead to insanity. I was quite comfortable in this insanity though I kept thinking that I was alone, the spirits and voices told me that I should look elsewhere for companionship. Ok no thats not what this is about. Its about flowers dying, the kind that grow from cracks in buildings, from cement fields, that survive though they are trampled upon by hordes of worker ants ... I asked my self this question: What if this woman who was the object of my desire, who I attributed so much good to, who I spent so much energy trying to connect with, was not as such? What if I was deluding myself? What if there was no goal such as to find someone actually appreciated the little things they could do to make you happy, and that you could make someone else happy and enjoy their laughter and smiles so much. If nothing I did intrigued her, and if she thought my life was not going anywhere and that we really didn't see eye-to-eye on critical issues .. So its all true. I'm looked down upon and criticized and viewed with detached emotion. Ho hum. Living in a city that I don't like too much, though travel was the plan, I can drive across the country every month if it were fun enough, and as to the city .. just too much noise and dirt and ugly unhappy people. I prefer small towns where you can actually smile at people and befriend them if you want. Where everyone knows everyone :) Easier to succeed in those places, I believe. The alternative is to go back to Ojai and bide my time. Cleanse my self first, as this has had the most drastic effects on my mental and physical health I have ever seen. Possibly get a place if I can find one with lots of privacy and outdoor space, but its possible since I know almost half the town. Get a simple job to maintain a schedule, maybe tutoring ESL :) Maybe something simple that wouldn't require much effort, and of course cash is preferred. Pay more attention to my dream life, keep a stricter diet. Start to organize my writing, and of course go to more poetry readings. Learn more about astrology. Everyone seems to be so interested in it, but doesn't take the simple steps to learn about it. :) So simple really. I'm honest about it though, and even some people who say they are honest have filters through which this truth has to be seen. I donno, I asked my self a dangerous question, and it drove me insane. I'm watching a kid write poetry on IRC. I think its good, I often tell him he should use it to heal himself. Speak the poetry, but since he is usually improvising it he could just get on stage and see where his mind went. I want to do the same, in fact its a higher goal, rip the script, perform meditation then grab ears and proceed to unleash and without hesitation .. wish she wanted the same. oh well. :) Its funny I have quite a few ways to make money right now. I'm just not that interested in pursing them. What would I do if I had lots of money? Buy a big rig and travel the country? Buy a lot of electronic gear? I already have lots of things .. all I'm missing is a video camera and some focus. You can't buy focus and love. Hum. Well money isn't the only reason I will pursue one of the things initially. Underground hip hop is fun, so is freestyling, but I'm sure I am pinpointing the things that hold me back. Women. The flow of energy in me imbalanced, internalized. Discipline and commitment, but when things change so often, how can you commit to any one thing? Tuesday, September 11, 2007the soulstice song [poem 3 - 12.2003] Current mood: retrospective
On this summer solstice I was hopeless
very homeless and with no destination But beyond my wildest dream lies the explanation right or wrong And this last winter solstice I was thrust into a large magnetic electronic field and my calculations had too much energy overriding my imagination reminding me of my dissatisfaction with stimulation i wasnt alone but lived in solitude with no clue but to follow through with this information But then on the first spring solstice I was born left with no, mother to mourn and I guess never did so I write a song to be bottled and sank, for fishes to drink, but never fully digested my attention span is invested in the entire world and its origin I didnt go to look but It found me tryed to drown me, in the senseless rational of an infant oh so beautiful never made a sound just stared back at me with concentration fueled by an amazing energy like I was the glitch the anomoly born from seperation a wild imagination is all i've had to navigate designated mad computer hacker number one i feel as if my work in this place will never be done nomad meticously manuevering [poem 2 - 12.2003] expansion
"
While meticously manuevering amongst unnacompanied metamorphosis Voices sad and strong sulk, in a space not far away Sounds subtly suggesting, you are not alone Emminate, originate From, requirements repeatedly presented And perversly propositioned. Rejected projections of fantasies perfected Prepare for permanent delusions Quietly concealing clarity If you should just, whisper thy name until death Before and after every breath. " The rapid change I began at 19, the metamorphosis. Hallucinations, but mainly affirmations from the good spirits around me. My biggest desire/dream is to be with my mother, and to reconcile my ability to be with other women in fulfilling relationships There definitally is a logic to this irrational experience. Meditation on Om. Conscious breathing. in the valley of awareness [poem 1 - 2002/3] expansion
"
In the valley of awareness Surrounded by the mountains of reality Covered by the sky of consciousness The stars are mine. " If you close your eyes you may be able to see the picture it paints. I just figured out, its an invocation, as well as a picture. We are not our minds, (though mine/mind can be synomymous), we are surrounded by things that appear "real" though the physical world is only a subset of what is real, and true consciousness, sub and super, look down on all of that .. I'm just a star. I only remember finding this poem on my computer the next day. It was in 2002, I think. This was the first writing that intrigued me, which was also saved from destruction. Monday, September 10, 2007On some random channel
This is what I believe to be channeling.
Either from my own subconscious mind with conscious interaction or from some outer world source which I do not have conscious recognition of, except for through these words. Words from thoughts from desires from impulses from souls, what is the best way to track this course? Of course we were designed by default to look over these facts, but the fact that I wish to stare them directly in the face determines that I am of a different quality than those around me, not higher, not lesser, just with a different purpose in mind, and defined, in what Prana Miller calls a "pre-birth agreement". We all have negative and positive traits; one of mine is that I am able to focus so deeply into the moment that I can not even feel my self writing, I can not fully remember what I have written, and without clear intention, I can not know what I will write next. It is good and bad. I wish to have clear goals and focus and concentration abilities but up to this point all efforts toward this have been thwarted and I am stuck with seeing and feeling things that aren't really there and thinking thoughts that are never quite clear. Wanting to save those around me and express to them the divine possibilities of an awakening and to take them there also ... But as it stands I am simply a man with a laptop and agile fingers, a mind functioning in odd ways, and a lot of dreams ... So many dreams ... I have been sleeping in the bed from my childhood, and have had many dreams each night. They seem to be preoccupied with my childhood, my friends of that time, the house that I lived in. I wonder why experiences of a young person so awfully effect the life of a supposed grown man. We'll see in the future, for my firm belief is that it holds great splendors for all. Monday, September 03, 2007kundalini vs schizophrenia - a higher perspective*/o for those who believe in their delusions instead of the constitution */o */o for those who are trapped in instutions waiting for retribution */o This is gonna be posted some other places. I was allowed to write it tonight, I think it explains whats going on but to understand it its best .. to just experience it. - today my high was of a exceptional quality do you believe in psychic ability? I could define my current experiences There is something radically different about my mood and perceptional, focus and concentration, memory emotional and self awareness identification which is just for starts, which ALL change constantly and over long terms It is socially dysfunctional but can empower certain serious personal arts shadow worker i mean i can think in blind spots of my self and others and I feel greatly (almost) everything I experienced is described in the dsm iv. everything I's experience was described in 3000+ year old mystical expositions. I mean all humans and how the mind works, develops, misdevelops, and can be optimally develop. Indeed, how it should be. 300 year old psychology. highly intellectually, socially and externally developed. doctor observes someone else who is sick. decides on a treatment. generalises from that what is normal. it has lots to discover, but cant discover very many things about itself. myths and spiritual awakening descriptions and instructions, known by the highest minds who sought to notice their "self" and did so in absence of a high degree of outside sensation and found it to be always changing and described the usual experiental world and life that we lived as the illusion of maya we descended from higher parts of our minds with less outward stimulation swaying our senses, meaning our mind was not always changing, over time, over day to day life, over good or bad experiences. over life and death. the eternal self. and there is a chance that you go insane or the chance that you become more experienced and stable in the whole action of life, when this energy is awoken, or this world is seen for what it truly is I think I agreed to these terms but they are hard to always accept and subsequently remember. but its either to die this way without a soul having known my ideas (some authors are never appreciated by their peers, only some era later to be discovered to have been appluadable), and not having created any equal relationships or making anything of my self in society or finding out just where the bottom of the rabbit hole is, proverbally, OR, finding everlasting peace and creative power and knowledge of self and awareness of the real world and the ability to speak the language of nature and not be pushed and pulled around by this false world society has created in the attempts of making everyones lives "better" I have some things to develop I must do them alone for some time, because few can understand, nor relate to or begin to imagine the life of someone with experiences of the possibly premature awakening of the spiritual energy described as buddhist kundalini i have found very few descriptions of this idea. of spiritual awakening discussed within the buddhist framework. even fewer people who have experienced it *and* were able to articulate it. and i've met one and maybe a handful of people who have done the work and simply shine and help and create and dance. (the universe told me what to do, sing, pray, dance, and meditate - then rest) i find if i begin to believe that im crazy and not provided for by the intelligent living world around me and above me, and my guides and spirits that help me that i must help, i begin to feel sicker and my life goals begin to be limited and my opportunities removed and my body and mind just hurt but if i believe that i have the ability to one day find out true happiness for more than a moment or more than a few months yes for years and years, i feel like my life has a deep purpose, to find out the origins of this dream world i live in i've had the opportunity to never connect on a deep level with anyone over my life that i can agree on right now, that could understand what changed over my life and could help me, and i've also had the pleasure of keeping my imagination and ability to sit around and dream and play like a child. ive also had the privelage of not taking in too much regular culturization and programming that inhibits this true childishness i also know something is wrong and have litle faith in modern psychology and psychiatry approaches to this 'problem' and 'disease' so what am i to do? i shall remain absolutely still. (like as in fear? deer in headlights? no as in man meditating in the mountains and conserving and rebuilding energy levels to heights normally unknowable) four references: the origins of western vs eastern psychology, the four states of consciousness, the working of the mind and general excersizes: the mind and its mysterious control one particularlly clear cosmological story explaining society and its war against enlightenment of the individual, its illusory nature: the islanders and the ever indepth and up to date interpretation of the experience with many positive findings, an entire contempary book of one persons findings: The Biology of Kundalini And of course, the ever useful book for the graduate student of spirituality: George Jaidar - The Soul: An Owners Manual - Discovering the Life of Fullness. I just finished reading it. And am in the process of typing it up, so that I can share it online, at least a portion of it. just a light worker.
as an aside, after trying to relate to a woman and thinking i would have to be intimate with
her just to do that, i saw a comic about commitment and trumpets and angels going off when you meet the person you're supposed to marry, and he doesn't see them and just decides to marry his best interest, and walking from the alter sees a woman with bells and whistles over her head .. xkcd.com 310 i guess i sort of angered her which i guess is good for me because i wont try and confuse her any more with this crap but checking out yahoo answers i saw someone who apparently was a woman who was looking for someone to ghost write about her mental illness problems .. i'm like .. :O except i have to ghost write my own material, im just kind of advising right now, its using my fingers .. anyway just a funny note. also broke my friends x-box, almost (?) hit a rabbit, my computer crashed and deleted a bunch of files, and the cat threw up. all in a few hours! its bad but overall i'm happy i was able to articulate this stuff, and maybe i'll focus on trying to get it done more so because of it ... :) sorry btw, i doubt that you'll ever understand, cuz i tried, and my eyes watered and my feet burnt but im sure theres something on the other side of that bridge .. but thats just how the story ends. theres no other side in this story.
"The constitution is a living, breathing, document."
I don't want to argue over that, but I present an alternative viewpoint, and would like to actually just discuss the differences that we hold. Here is one such argument that I saw today on slashdot. Attatched to Open and Shut Case of Police Harrasment by causality: If the system worked correctly, then either (a) freedoms would gradually increase over time, or (b) the balance of state power vs. personal freedoms would remain roughly steady over time. Because the size and power of the USA government have each continued to increase over time (as measured by several factors, such as: number of laws on the books, degree of privacy of the average citizen, size of the government in terms of percentage of GDP, degree of power wielded by the executive branch today compared to just ten years ago, etc), I would judge that the system is not working as intended by its founders. |
So, uh, am I watching you,
or are you watching me? Is this a dream? Or are we on TV? I saw it in a mirror once, like it came to me, but I forgot, due to residual complacency.
