The Future is a Pimp

Κι εσύ όλο γυρεύεις στον κόσμο μια άλλη μοίρα,

εκτός απ'το γραφτό σου πάρε-δώσε.  

SPEAKING SYMBOLESE

"My trick, as you put it, is like that cobra ring you wear on your index finger. You wear it when you are sleeping and when you are awake, when you are happy and when you are sad, under all conditions. This is the constant I need to go into your imaginal body."

Michael Hughes on a life's Reading

ATOM AND ARCHETYPE

" In 1932  Wolfgang Pauli was a world-renowned physicist and had already done the work that would win him the 1945 Nobel Prize. He was also in pain. His mother had poisoned herself after his father's involvement in an affair. Emerging from a brief marriage with a cabaret performer, Pauli drank heavily, quarreled frequently and sometimes publicly, and was disturbed by powerful dreams. He turned for help to C.G. Jung, setting a standing appointment for Mondays at noon. Thus bloomed an extraordinary intellectual conjunction not just between a physicist and a psychologist but between physics and psychology,...

... Each thinker was concerned with the effect of the particular and specific of the universal. Jung's concern was individual experience: the psyche's perception and conception, emotion and imagination regarding inner and outer realities. He focused on the individual's psychic development as it interrelated with recurring, and thus collective, predispositions and representations of human experience. He was especially curious about the ways in which images produced by the psyche become unprovable but assumed beliefs. Pauli sought to prove theories about the nature of the tiniest particles in the ever-extending energy patterns of the material universe and to find the formulas and means of measurement that would reveal the universe's past, present, and future. While focusing on the most fundamental elements in the world's makeup, as a quantum theorist Pauli was also alert to the effect of the particular presence of the observer on what is observed."

ART FOR ART'S SAKE

In the West, it is not a matter of drug use anymore, it is a matter of drug abuse!

Coincidence breeds Intent

Ζέστη στη Βαλέτα,

μετεωρίτης στη Γιανγκόν,

κάτοικος Κάνσας Σίτυ

κι ας είμαι Ολυμπιακός.                                     

                                                                         

ΤΙ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΛΟΓΙΚΗ ΚΑΙ ΤΙ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΛΟΓΙΣΜΙΚΟ

Λογική, πάντως, είναι να προσπαθείς να διδάξεις στους άξιους του Πνευματος αυτά που με μανία προσπαθείς να μάθεις στα παιδιά σου.

Dharmadhatu

The Cross is the most sacred symbol we have.

No Boundary

Yet we must be very careful at this point in our understanding. For this "living in the timeless present," this bare attention to the present moment, has nothing to do with the common psychological trick of just forgetting about yesterday and tomorrow. The mystic is not saying that we should live in the present by forgetting about or trying to ignore the past and future. He is saying that there is No past and future. For the past and future are simply the illusory products of a symbolic boundary superimposed upon the eternal now, a symbolic boundary which appears to split eternity into yesterday vs. tomorrow, before vs. after, time gone vs. time to come. Thus time as a boundary upon eternity, is not a problem to get rid of, but an illusion which doesn't exist in the first place.

IS IT A BRAIN, AFTER ALL?

You put too much emphasis on the left -steady- leg

of the bull and not on the walking right which is the

whole man, in front, who is leading him. Why?
