ALA is a chelator, and i've seen so many people permanently wrecked by it over the years
the worst thing is they hang about on message boards “selling” how good it is . .
some dummkopf

Any study behind the claim you make that NAC damages the brain, thyroid and kidneys ? Maybe I just don't see it on the page. All I've heard is that it's completely safe. If you claim it's not then I'd like to see evidence or I call BS. Genuinely curious
my
r e p l y
why don't you read the link page in full, there's links within that page to some studies and in fact the most prominent member of the “pro chelation” lobby, dr. andrew cutler who advocates the frequent ALA dose protocol says that large single daily dose ALA is extremely destructive, so obviously there is an issue !
“ i've seen so many people permanently wrecked by it over the years
”
call it bullshit like i didn't say that, take a daily dose of ALA and come back in five years and tell us how it went ?
“ All I've heard is that it's completely safe
”
isn't that the real bullshit, you are saying that medicine promotes chelation ?
this whole issue takes weeks of research, you don't read the linked page in full or follow through with web research . .
your post lacks social and cognitive style skills ?
you need to understand the role of sulphur in body chemistry, its the
“glue
” of molecular reactions, its just the right stickiness . .
the problem with mercury is that it bonds to sulphur better than anything else
alpha lipoic acid has two sulphur molecules in a claw like configuration, when it comes into contact with mercury or some other similarly attractive metals it moves it (mobilizes it)
so when you take ala
, (or NAC !) the mercury is moved around to make for new damage as rate reactions call it to fall off the ALA again . .
----------------------
ok, the OP was ALA, i didn't switch to NAC as per your post, but really its all just as applicable, NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) lacks the
“claw structure
” but still has a sulphur atom in it, so its a weaker mercury mobiliser
i see you have deleted your nick . .
----------------------
you need to understand what a “chelator” and “chelation” are
and that ALA is a chelator and NAC while not a chelator also mobilises mercury
and then you can research chelation and it won't take much of that to convince you of the real problem, that supplement manufacturers when they slip in quite high doses of these compounds into their multis are inducting people who take their products into a whole new world of very damaging chelation protocols
you won't find a lot of studies in this specific area because of a lack of funding though there is quite a bit of
science available to those who put the leg work in
unfortunately this is not a ‘tell me like i'm five’ topic which is why so many get so savagely burnt by these “chelating” compounds i guess !
----------------------
you have to see there is such a thing as “chelation” and what these very potent heavy metal mobilizing compounds do and then realise that some of these compounds can be malignly put into multi's, that should get you asking questions !

i have a solaray product which provides
200 micrograms of chromium as “
GTF chromium yeast ”
is this pro-oxidative and potentially damaging to
DNA, or is this a useful supplement to take weekly / daily ?
jarrow lists chromium
GTF under their mitochondrial support page
my
r e p l y
i think the latest research shows that just about any form of chromium is pro-oxidative
i personally put about
50 to
100 micrograms of that same chromium gtf yeast you mention in cooling food or a sauce daily so that you get it to dwell at a pasteurizing temperature of about
70C/158F even though the supplement yeast is “ pre killed ”
yes, eating is genocide ! :o)
it definitely reduces insulin resistance and blood sugar, donʼt forget that high blood sugar is a murderously glycating/oxidising event !
so its a question of the right dose imo !
its important to understand that taking vitamins is not like food, there's definite ranges and too much and too little. .

jon, re supps you really want to discuss what you are doing more, target specific problems like sleep rather than go broad brush, some supplements may not meet your needs, like for instance i recently dropped magnesium taurate, donʼt seem to need it any more perhaps because i am eating a lot of apples and the mk7 (k2) works wonders for the cardiovascular system ?
iʼm pretty gullible so have got burnt by people over the years and am much more cautious now . .
people just will not show you the same consideration as you show them so now i am careful to extract my pound of flesh, like with sepehr he makes me think and gives material for writing . .
what i have figured is the less i have to do with people the better . .
sepehr, the mani in your play is not the mani my research indicates to me and i find the real life mani and his own words instructive whereas your play in my view is ideologically agenda driven and distorting
‘ murder in the cathederal ’ has a similar issue, plays featuring historical figures of necessity have a problem with the conflict between the audiences own knowledge of the historical figure and the playwrightʼs ideology and presentation of it
to me what is amazing is that with a reasonable amount of reading and
research on the web
, one can form a reasonable picture of a figure as historically, culturally removed and obscure as mani !

thereʼs a subtlety to tolstoy that distinguishes the really great writers, i never clicked to the
scene where count bezukhov threatens to kill his wife (hélène) before, but having seen more of how the female works i can now understand it !
basically she indirectly attempted to murder him though the proxy of her lover who had a reputation as a successful duellist deliberately provoking bezukhov to challenge a duel . .
now the benefit to the lovers was that she would no doubt get a substantial inheritance from one of the wealthiest estates in russia and they would be able to live together in well heeled bliss !
so its a literal attempt to murder and when it went wrong for them and this is another subtlety that shows that tolstoy really understood the duelling game (since bezukhov was a big man he would be able to hold a pistol securely and fire with good accuracy)
, his wife then mounts a verbal barrage with the intent to confuse bezukhov as to what had really happened . .
its just all a beautiful subtle undercurrent sweeping along without anything being too explicit and indeed this mirrors the way humans work since rarely do they have a true perception of their and others motives . .
nor is a wife and husband wanting each other dead that strange as its not in real life either !

“ do you use heavy cream when eating fruits ? like the cream put into coffee ? ”
i make a sort of a sauce with a desert spoon or two of cabernet sauvignon, some double/heavy cream and maybe a couple of desertspoons of a homemade jam and maybe a bit of yogurt, heat that up to about 75C to pasteurize it and as it cools to about 70C
, put in a bit of chromium yeast to pasteurize it, and then wait until it cools further for use !
jam has sugar in, so caution with amounts !

gutted some piglets that either didn't make it through birth or the cold night, got plenty of organs, about
4 thyroids, missed one or two when i mixed it up with the larynx, immediately knew when i took the larynx that it was too late to get the thyroids
ate
3 thyroids cooked and didn't notice much of an effect, later ate one raw and about an hour and a half later i got pretty warm, flushed cheeks
also could've been the higher dose of vitamin
E i took
300 iu
my
r e p l y
vitamin
E has never made me warm or given me flushed cheeks !
the flushed cheeks response indicates to me you have a thyroid problem and maybe impaired circulation as a function of low thyroid ! !
you can put the raw thyroids in about 70C/158F water and leave for five minutes, that might still preserve the thyroid action and kill any toxoplasmosis etc !
it's really weird, you might be the only person in the usa to have eaten a foetal pig raw thyroid for
50 years, people eating dessicated pig thyroid would be aghast at your primitiveness !
i like to horrify my relatives with tales of eating possum and wallaby organs !
----------------------
jason notes several days later
tyromax arrived today, took some in the morning and my hands and feet warmed up, same with cheeks, not as much as the foetal pig thyroid though

anybody can hassle
some-one else off a web forum because they don't like what they say
however the real life skill is tolerating what we don't like and looking more closely at it to extract the validity !
a million billon words on the web, how many are actually useful to us or do we make use of ?
so i'm starting to get hassled on reddit supplements because they don't like what i am saying
see i can contribute and help build the forum up and make it more effective, but in the end the moderators and others still treat me like shit so just walk away and don't help build it up, let them roil in their maladaptive taking of supplements stupid bastards, . . jeezz so much of life is like this !

its just a question of time before they dominate and ruin a health message board, i have seen this happen so many times . .

The feelings you'll get —
When your baby first reacts to your funny faces
When the youngster greets you in the morning standing up inside the crib, holding onto the side, bouncing up and down at the knees because they are excited to see you.
When the
2 year is looking tired in the evening, playing on the floor, all the sudden looks around, crawls up on you, puts their head on your shoulder, and goes to sleep.
When the whimpering stops after you bandaged up another knee.
When your
8 year old daughter, on the double tube waterslide, goes "Wheeee! Wheeeeeee!", you'll just sit in the back with a grin and enjoy it.
When your
12 year comes within a whisker of winning first prize for showmanship in the rabbit competition at the county fair on her first try.
When you see them having so much fun with their friends in a band.
That awful day in August, when you drive them off to college, and you know they will no longer be around much anymore.
That lump in your throat when their name is announced as they cross the stage to get their degree.
That moment when you realize some other man has captured your little girl's heart.
It's all a great feeling.

i gave myself a thyroid boost today by painting my toes with betadine sore throat gargle iodine, worked quite well but i really think that cooked thyroids also have something needed in them !
----------------------
thiroyd sounds ok
they canʼt “ cook ” thyroids or the hormone gets damaged so i don't know about whether animal sourced thyroid hormone is a disease risk
i didnʼt sleep much last night because of the iodine i put on my toes and i definitely felt warmer than i usually do
so basically i get by with occasional iodine use and eating cooked or lightly cooked thyroids
its a useful skill to be able to identify thyroids in an animal, they are sorta grainy or nodular, deer will have them, i guess you have to watch out for ticks . .

hannibal , he fought successfully against overwhelming odds, but he was always overextended and thus victories always collapsed through this, ultimately unsuccessful and took poison to avoid being handed over to the romans !
the root problem was the carthaginians were completely overtaken by the romans as a naval power, the romans started behind, but their engineering prowess and empire size mean the end of hegemony for the carthaginians, if they had been able to take a strategic view then quiet integration into the roman empire was the way to go, but the nature of human is groups in power only ever give it up by forcible relinquishment !

mani retorts to kirbir in sepehrʼs new play
i damn all gods and prophets except the solace of oblivion and the alignment of stars into spectral infinity
sepehr, having
read some mani i really donʼt relate to what you write in your play overall, sorta pseudo ligotti, thatʼs your choice, . .
you need to find your own audience, to continue correspondence with me will be unhealthy for you, you will find me too negative, we donʼt agree and you are not interested in
7th patriarch zen, go your own way . .
this is one of the traps of hanging out on the hardcore zen blog or reddit zen, they are so hostile and negative you can grow to thinking its normal, but its not
where you disagree fundamentally the way should part . .
its not war its just each making their own way in life . .
people with no real life experience of zen never understand the master/student dynamic of approval, you are not experienced in the culture and donʼt understand seniority . .
i have said before we are not friends . . whats the basis of dealing with each other ?
me extracting writing material and observations and you gaining useful feedback which you ignore ?
you have clearly plumbed for a ligotti type horror perspective and i without the slightest shadow of doubt reject that as a dead end !
what more can i say ?
----------------------
in terms of my reading of your play, at this point we are running into clear fundamental differences of viewpoint
perhaps that is what you play has to say . .
like kartir the context means i can only crucify . .
----------------------
the joke is that both mani and kirtir were both pursuing illusory nonsense, rather like the jews taking moses as their founding father when he is a
make-over of dionysus !
with religion the bullshit is so thick you canʼt stir it and that will never change ! : o)
in a sense the play is true because its about brutality and death over mindless, yet throughly believed nonsense, perhaps thatʼs why you relate to mani and kirtir ?
----------------------
incidentally maniʼs division of society into the “elect” and “hearers” worked very well where a lot of slaves were owned as in the culture he was in !
you can see manichaeism as a slave owning doctrine which was why it was so appealing to the upper classes
that was his mistake with bahrman, he had previously been successful with his appeals to the ruling class, mani was obviously a person of some charisma and his doctrine was socially stabilizing from their point of view, but in fact kirbir was effectively the new ruler !
at this point i would say your rewrites are working, there could be quite a while before you are ready to say its finished !
what really helps is tons and tons of research, you can continually draw on that to finesse the needed subtleties and human interest !
there are some good lines, at your best you write very well . . .

any supplements for mindfulness ?
are there any supplements which help you quiet your mind and focus on sensations in your body ?
iʼve been trying to do mindfulness unaided, and itʼs just not working

thereʼs a nasty recurve of subsets and supersets with notions of self, meditation, mind, conciousness, unconciousness . .

manichaeism was an extraordinary achievement, within two hundred years of its founders death it spanned from china to britain . .
a rather bizarre patchwork of christianity, zorastiasm, hinduism and buddhism, he must have been a genius at sticking together that combination that didnʼt strain old beliefs too much, but offered the interest and variety of new proxies fitting somewhat onto old ones !
the sheer scope and spread of manichaeism was absolutely remarkable and its only the ruthlessness of its suppression that leaves so little information about it today !
another interesting thing is its founder was a real historical person, easily verified, that’s what an actual historical person looks like and his fate is about the only one possible in the circumstances !
interestingly there are stone relief carvings of kartir, the zoroastrian high priest who was responsible for maniʼs imprisonment, a merciless muscular thug from his image for sure !

mani got into a very fucked up space, doomed by his own popularity and the success of his religion, the brutality of his death and those of his followers was entirely intentional and intended as what it was, a super effective deterrent !
what stuck me about him is at age
58 he was cruelly killed
obviously naive
basically (ed. writing a play) its like writing poetry, it needs to come from intense involvement, let it sorta be its own voice, you have to follow that and not impose preconceived schema
you need to have created/create some interesting new world that flows along under its own impetus
if the play is based on history, then the way you use knowledge of how things turned out historically (projecting into the future from within the play) requires caution !
since its a partly imaginary world then the future for it must be partly imaginary too !

an elderly male relative has just had a successful operation to straighten out a bit of the small intestine by removing a band adhesion, it was interesting that despite a scan they couldnʼt tell what the problem was ( they guessed it wrong as a portal vein thrombosis and circulation obstruction to the small bowel )
they had to do a laparoscopic inspection to see and then the next step was obvivous
in the old days once they cut into you, you had only a
50% chance of surviving, these not such big deal operations are adding another twenty years to our lives !

iʼve gone from getting my degree in neuroscience, decapitating rats and becoming depressed, to working night shifts in a gas station and fucking up my circadian rhythm to the point of feeling like a zombie, and now to lifting heavy boxes for
4 hrs straight (my arms feeling like theyʼre about to burst) and becoming extremely sore
goddammit.
i wish i could find a
part-time job that didnʼt suck and it makes me depressed
my
r e p l y
sepehr, thereʼs no money in the play, shouldnʼt you be focused on getting skills for better paying jobs ?
emily dickinson wrote her poems on scraps of used paper and the back of letters etc. because she couldnʼt afford to buy new unused paper, bukowskiʼs poverty is famous of course and saʼdi worked for many years as a slave building crusader fortifications !
your energy is going into arguing with me and you are not hearing what i am saying or looking at life issues !
well at least you understood the circadian rhythm problems of night shift work, thatʼs a big plus, plenty go half a lifetime before realising that !
----------------------
my view is you are using this unseen play like some sort bluff card, in fact your writing canʼt be better than your recent posting . .
you have a lot of life skill and approach issues, you know iʼm very much older so i recognise them from my own mistakes
i donʼt think the real life company you keep is any help to you and really life is too hard without a reasonable income
i donʼt get any peace and am not bothered about visiting disturbance on others . .
----------------------
can i suggest that when you are ready to show your play, then show it, otherwise donʼt talk about or try to “presell” it !
my own experience is i never know what i am going write ahead of time and certainly donʼt talk about it, and still donʼt even after it is written !
that means i am actually doing something, other areas of life i talk about and donʼt ever do anything effective !
sepehr
r e p l i e s
thatʼs good advice
if you just said that, i wouldʼve shut up
i was just getting very offended when you said my play will suck

the play at this point is really between you and your beta readers
in terms of the play we are outsiders here and donʼt want to know anything about it, short of it being finished/published/
made known !
sepehr, can i just explain the situation !
i really have better things to do with my time than talk to you, really i do !
you donʼt accept the fundamental tenants of the instrumentality of large amounts of solitary time needed and some degree of estrangement from “entertainment”
if you donʼt do that then you donʼt get the instrumentality and as it is you run around in some busy superdense and largely purile media space . .
you have never in the time we have been corresponding really veered from your “waiting at the end of time” paradigm which is just to wait and be entertained one way or another . .
7th patriarch zen is the recovery of a lost celibate tradition and you are using me for your entertainment and validation . .
its my blog and when you impose your wrong mindedness and diss what i am saying then i feel obliged to “ decompress ” you and what you say, this process is part of a huge wake that still shows years later, when you entered into posting here you stirred up that wake and canʼt expect if you stop posting for me to stop the decompression process . .
zakaj posted a u.g. krishnamurti video, particularly i donʼt want to end up like u.g. , some sort of scratching post for the endless idiots this sort of work attracts, the half arsed hubric
is it my fault you have elected to remain amongst those
go away and bother your like, not me !
sepehr you are not writing a great book , (ed. his play) just giving the world what it is filled to the brim of, derivative junk !
for one brought up with the net, you seem surprisingly out of touch with today's publishing realities, a world awash with useless words and all you can do is add to the pile !
this blog is about 7th patriarch zen, a charitable endeavour on my part as there is no good information apart from what i write on the subject today, but you have twisted and distorted it so i am not happy with you !
i reserve the right to decompress the bad experience you have given me, it will take months or even a year or so, if you donʼt want to be mentioned go away and let time erode my memory of you to abatement ! : o)

i wrote my own play in a few minutes, an hour including editing and fact checking . .
the reason sepehr is taking so long to write his, two years and counting ? is he is using otherʼs experience in a very episodic way and has none of his own to draw on, its just an unfused mash !
i do use other people a lot (monet in this case) , but its not hypocritical, i am these people, their experience is mine . .
but that is the benefit of great artists and writers, their experience is immediate and conveyable, murky retards like ligotti and their fawning menials are beneath contempt ! . .

i have a huge backlog of recordings from 2012 and i figure the only way i can motivate myself to edit and put them up is do one a day and post them as current, however long it takes !

poetry is an abstraction bloodied

so the play opens with the frame filled with monetʼs ‘ study of a figure outdoors : woman with a parasol, facing left ’ and morphs to an actual reality scene of monet’s intial vision of suzanne hoschedé on the embankment of the ‘
l'ile aux orties ’
, then him painting that picture back in the studio at giverny and then morphs back to the microscopically written play in the bottom right hand corner of the painting and the words are read to say the play starts with the frame filled with monetʼs . .
thatʼs a good monet, the wind integrates the three elements, the woman, the grass and wildflowers and the sky

my solitude has shown me life is more despairing than we think
by ‘ despairing ’ , i do not mean it in the sense of pain, but in the sense of everything being insufficient
you finding beauty in life is insufficient
all human love and attachment is insufficient
this is what you have said and speaks more to me than your hypocritical hippy love attitude
our lives are totally meaningless in the grand scheme of the human travail, that we cannot help parse some sense into it — clinging to it for a sense of
self-validation

i donʼt understand why you are constantly antagonizing me lately ”
sepehr this is my blog and you are not listening !
g o a w a y
i got better things to do than waste of time idiots !
you treat the
7th zen patriarch blog like you own it, you canʼt even see that, mr. “inconsiderate”
, you really have problems with common courtesy, you know real life stuff !
sepehr, when you delete posts you are trying to craft an image to present to the world !
instead, you need to be yourself to the world and leave them up !
thatʼs thatʼs the difference between the specious bullshit you write and acting doing something which is not deleting your posts that you think donʼt reflect the image you want to project !
----------------------
“ I deleted the posts because I realized it was due to a misunderstanding ”
i've got records of your posts, i know what they say, you are not being honest !
“ my experience is not media entertainment ”
that's not true either is it?
you are not being honest with yourself and you are not being honest with me !
i really want a year of no contact with you, there's no point in arguing, i just want that !
it will take me a while to decompress you, i will still use you as a discussion point on “ pending_poems ” but will only refer to you via an initial !
so if you are listening what am i asking ? is agreement that difficult ?
----------------------
sepehr, iʼve asked for a yearʼs no contact, thatʼs a major ask but you have not replied to that question !
you criticise me lumping you with zakaj as you claim to be different, but both of you just skip over the important issues though zakaj did finally get that his “guru pushing” was incompatible with the
7th zen patriarch approach !
for all i know you could be writing a commercially successful play but thatʼs not what this blog is about . .
you have different interests . .
so my ask is for a years no contact, can you reply to this ?
----------------------
the point is not whether i dislike your play or not, but whether this dialogue is productive for me !
its like my dealings with zakaj, initially productive and then it became unproductive because he didnʼt move forwards
there is a wall between us and it just hasnʼt changed but our contact has now become unproductive to me and i donʼt think its healthy for you at this point, you have different interests and in my view its time to break contact . .
you are writing your own play and you need to cultivate your own audience and in my view the best way to do that is use anime and play/drama authoring tools to put up a video or is that too real world for you ?
i have the same issue, i canʼt afford the time this dialoguing is taking
, life's requirement is for me to get back into real life more . .
----------------------
sepehr
suggests
like I've said, if my play is
7thzenpatriarch material, which means it is not entertainment, then I request one hundred dollars and no more insults
my
r e p l y
the union of
7th zen patriarch “ material ” and literature and art is “ magical realism ” which can be done quite subtly in monet and jane austen and more overtly as in ‘ twelfth night ‘ with the complete external identity of the twins and the alphabet raining down from the sky in one of janet frameʼs books
that is great art and glimmers and shines with infinity, its a tall ask !
sepehr, your post itself is conflict and this reply is conflict
for one thing you think i have no judgment and i can say “ we disagree on a fundamental level ” and you can tell me i am wrong and that this is some simple matter of variance over a few minor issues
if you werenʼt in conflict then the whole point of zen and me being an approved master sanctioned directly by the sixth patriarch would be pointless . . .
like it doesnʼt take a lifetimes work and being basically clelibate . .
some johnny come lately like yourself whose experience is media entertainment and total obtuseness to what he is being told . .

real creative effort is when you actually produce
I II , i have it easy with writing and html, but a play needs more
!
i have my advice for you in the recent entries below on this page
i canʼt really say more than that, you donʼt think its valid or you think it contrived or whatever
you, like zakaj are an endless sink of need and its not my business to supply what you yourself are unwilling to do !
----------------------
sepehr, thereʼs some wall thatʼs come between us, things change, i donʼt think its healthy for you to hold that
attitude and be posting to me and perhaps its not healthy for me either to be locked into the constant decompression that replying to you entails
i learnt with reddit zen to only read and not post there, maybe that would work for you, read my writing if you wish and donʼt post !
the world loves mediocrity !
“ good ” is seen in that light !
personally i donʼt give a fig for what anyone thinks of my writing tho it is gratifying to see it appreciated !

“ i say a lot of your writing is good, but recently, it hasnʼt been quite there. not everything we churn out can always reach our best level ”

“ I let it decimate me and become one with the impersonal flow of the black gyrating stars ”
thatʼs the wrong space and no doubt why you are choking on what i am writing
the space i am talking about is full and encompasses all of life and includes human love and attachment ‘ at rest in the bosom ’ of infinity so to speak, this is the problem, one of the divides if you live for human attachment
because of this and that investment in and allowance of the “ full ” space when i write and talk i am looking from the “ other side of death ” to you
there's no horror in this space, its all beauty . .

sepehr, the problem is, you want things in discrete jumps, but its kaizen or ‘ successive approximation ’ that gives the meta/s !

whatʼs so hard about starting a blog ?
maybe thereʼs just a few who like doing it
my
r e p l y
writing a blog is actually contemplative work because you are looking and reflecting on reality which can include your personal life of course
i was interested to see the zen master foyan complain about monks basically proxying and not doing any real contemplation and one sees the same issues today . .
the brain changes that are involved in contemplation are actively avoided because it is so traumatic . .
so
s. and
z. deliberately are adverse to it, its no accident that they don't blog . .
the degree of con with people who pretend to do something is simply amazing . .
and then they whimper about being verbally beaten up . .
well if they did any real contemplation they would get the skills to cope instead of going around in endless circles they would be constantly moving forward and be ahead of the game . .

“ thy mind is a very opal
i would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be every thing and their intent everywhere
for thatʼs it that always makes a good voyage of nothing

to understand zen and infinity it has to mean more than wife and child and therefore if there be wife and child it cannot mean more
therefore it is only without wife and child it may be understood !
so what i am saying is contemplation makes the brain bigger and work better by reorganizing and this is why proxying with ceremonies, beliefs and the regurgitation of scriptures, records or quotes is such bullshit . .
its something that happens to you and your brain and its an active process !

one thing it has taken me years to learn is what a stinking cesspool of total hubric stupid swine the net
is filled with
that is, it very very selective for these no hoping puking idiots
so when you find yourself conforming to the viewpoints of these types that irl you would totally avoid then you have a huge problem !

sepehr, the problem is that in your two
replies you don't say anything coherent except this
“ i do get solitude but i notice the constant flipping over and destabilizing foundation is terrifying because this life is all there is.
there is nothing ‘ great ’ about you experiencing infinity. so what ?
actually you constantly being in communion with infinity makes you a nothing, and while you may take refuge in some solipsism and extreme barrier, i recommend you read derrida more about that, since he thinks it's ridiculous ”
this is exactly the same problem as zakaj, you both think you know the answers and i am wrong . .
what can i say ?
i reserve the right to mention you and zakaj occasionally in my writings as its a sort of decompression of both of you, it may take a year or so . .
we donʼt agree and i really want you out of my hair, and actually i donʼt think further involvement is healthy for either of us, in future i will make no mention of you except by a sort non non de plume

i try to tell them, zakaj at least seems to understand he is getting involved with some contrary path and since he believes it true then he should follow it . .
sepehr doesnʼt want to get it but the reality is he is just doing the usual damaged person “ piss unpleasantly in the wind ” all his life . .
this is why an unrestricted public comments section doesnʼt work on blogs or facebook, people just push their own version of “veering” , you the blog writer who does the work are just providing a public platform for complete arseholes, brad warner, lisa cairns and jeff foster are welcome to their immersion in that sort of filth ! : o)(
i really like this interview with karl ove knausgaard and john mullan, he talks about “ shame ” , that is writing in an expository fashion about his family, friends and himself
its a real feeling that occurs after leaving the “ writing zone ”
apparently in norwegian culture being this frank is not permitted . .
iʼm dead certain he has been in effect been given permission by the freedom of expression on the web and blogs and actually its a new literary form, the complete exposition of oneʼs life like that !
“ yeah, by writing about something, you can identify something and you can see it, i donʼt normally see anything in my life, iʼm completely blind, but i can see it when i write about it ” [1:01:30]

“ Sometime in the
1940s, the struggle was seemingly lost
One day, Sibelius carried a laundry basket filled with his manuscripts into the dining room at Ainola and began feeding the pages into the raging fire in the stove
Aino, who would recall the event after her husband’s death, could confirm the identity of only one of the pieces her husband burned — the early Karelia Suite — but it is now considered a certainty that the Eighth Symphony was
destroyed as well ”
bad move jean !
you could have just left them on a shelf, same effect except you can come back if you want, what is destroyed by fire or put in the rubbish is gone forever !
xzy and i have been in various net correspondences for several years and he is now listening to this sort of
rubbish , very second rate chanting with a picture of a paedophile guru and he assures me he has not gone mad, but really what other explanation is there ?

a superb
MRI showing a disk hernia and interestingly the disk is herniated on both sides, but its the disk material pushing on the spinal cord that is the problem !
my reply to the
poster of that
MRI
“ its a big bummer. having two kids and then having to carry them around all the time hasn't helped ”
the material does reabsorb over time, you need to absolutely keep the weight off the disk !
most exercises and yoga just make things worse imo, don't bend from the waist and keep the weight off and it will eventually get much better !
surgery/microdiscectomy and epidurals are problematic !
“ our new research supports
early divergence
ten million years ago for the

all my poems come unbidden complete and unchangeable . .
basically the prose is sorta set in concrete as well, though some changes can be made
so i found this
research interesting and it fits quite well

one of the things that impressed me about the scots was their
loyalty to the “lairds” who in fact were actually a treacherous lot and certainly did not reciprocate that loyalty to their tenant farmers when they came to sell their estates to the english !

people like lisa cairns
, jeff foster and brad warner hit a ceiling whereby they can't deal effectively with valid criticism
this limits them to really schizophrenic followers who are just blind to any notions of reality testing and validity . .
so they will always have a few followers, but they can never recruit outside this collection of nut cases !

“ The full
analysis is more complicated, as the researchers had to account for other factors, such as the age of the universe — it can't be too young nor too old for advanced life
It can't be too old because planets need to orbit around a
hydrogen-burning star like our Sun, which is young enough that it has not yet reached the end of its lifetime
But the universe also can't be too young because a galaxy (where protective halos reside) must have time to undergo chemical evolution to produce metal elements
A high metallicity decreases the odds of having a nearby
gamma-ray burst, since the stars that cause these bursts have relatively low metal concentrations
It's not surprising that Earth seems to occupy a favorable point in the researchersʼ simulations : a place with minimal exposure to gamma-ray bursts, and at a time with many hydrogen-burning stars like the Sun, along with a high average metallicity
This special place and time may help researchers search for other possible locations of life in the universe ”
actually now i think about it, its no wonder einstein didn't like the ‘ cosmological constant ’
, it implies the existance of many universes, a disturbing notion to one mapping out the rules for this this universe ! : o)

the problem the north korean regime has, is that the logical path of de-escalation and getting along with its neighbours also removes the rationale for the regime's existance...
basically an emergency state of government based on external threat . .
