i think we have a bipolar relationship !
women are bloody with men's blood
them and you and me and the whole world
i think you (ed. suzanne foxton) have had a valid awakening experience, it gives a certainty no-one else gets but you need to move to the next plane which includes stopping watching movies
the only advaita teacher i have seen who is reasonably on deck is karl renz and i think he is still not quite there, in part because all the viral exposure of teaching the usual cfs and partly sick is killing !
i know joan tollifson btw, while talented, she has some severe shortfalls in her approach and has has benefited from a lot of contact with toni packer
any way, keep your eyes open at prague and think about what i am saying which is that the viral exposure to the people who listen to this sort of thing is a very unwonderful and unneeded crucifixion !
please feel free to contact me, anyone who ever gets that certainty of how things are, are uncountably few and the endless blather by the copying idiots is depressing
once you start really seriously working on what the “revelation” shows, it's
really about 4 hours a day in one way or another and you cannot afford the waste of a day that watching a movie does
the other problem with movies is it imposes a synthetic and very misguided reality on your own views
infinity/ultimate reality/god/whatever is not a communal truth, it's an individual truth !
i wonder if you can hear this, my experience of advaita teachers so far is like a non sequitur for not listening !
she gave some wanking reply and my reply was
to “some-one in particular”
you are being a bit silly and don't know sense when you hear or read it !
hopefully i am past explaining things to people who don't want to hear !
hey this reply just arises, let it fall away again and you can continue your walking sleep undisturbed
fraud ! yeah let that just arise !
being called a fraud , just let that arise !
the fact of being a fraud, oh well let's sweep that under the carpet !
when you know the infinite then movies are going to appear for what they are, mental candy floss like the advaita turge !
a bit later
i was thinking, why am i taking the trouble to point what i am writing out to you?
the direct communication of infinity with ourselves is a very precious, unique and rare event
you have had that, don't squander it please !
you need to be more in touch with nature and not swamped by the non survivable urban enviroment

the interesting thing about the monkees was that mike nesmith authored and sung at least three very good and famous songs; silver moon, rio and joanne
i had no idea !
interestingly his mother invented liquid paper he was obviously talented with a touch/feeling for one shoe off, one shoe on and surprisingly was a survivor !
a rigorous investigative streak, not just the usual musician emotionally hooked !
ah, he and his first wife were christian scientists, that must have kept him out of the drug scene!
he was likely synesthetic, in rio he mentions “seeing the sound of the sea” and at his first meeting with phyllis who came to be his first wife the first thing he said to her was nine is brown, and phyllis answered three is blue.
all the monkees were very talented, it's a very deceptive show
inching forward is the only way
the big leaps come from that
you have asked and i am not going to reply to you again but i will point out this is a public poetry board and i would suggest you post on one of the many private depression boards on the net where you can emotionally wallow without the danger of any valid criticism made !
you objected to your friend's suicide because your feelings were upset !
it's all about you

The Voyeur by John F McCullagh
jesus haiku by jvl narasimha rao
it's interesting as one gets older how very established theories about things as substantial as the formation of the solar system fall away as totally wrong !
the forming of the solar system in fact was the coalescing of the sun and planets out of a cold gas
i honestly think you don't understand writing and how it can refer to several things at once and how fictional it can be
puberty is a similar process to metamorphosis
in insects !
“ not only are the frontal lobes remodeled during puberty, that's also when diseases such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia tend to manifest
there's so much cell death and rewiring during this period it's astonishing that we get through it as well as we do. ”
it's a process driven by changes in expression in targeted genes inducted by hormones!
poem by loewen s graves (February 2012, hellopoetry)
by a thread, rips and tears
make it hard for her to breathe
half-light, twilit fields rippling
in the breeze
her teeth, her bones balanced
over the concrete
forever - she has seen the yard
where she'll be buried
waiting for just the wrong eyes
to reach her hair, her skirt
and she watches the sky,
remembering that angels
until you need them - her
grandmother said, they
it. Her cactus tongue pricks,
catches blood there, and
it's rhythm a comfort
She finds her way home
breathes
rips
and
tears
golden
vision
the
full
twilight
no
grave
there
but
eternity !
your eyes right,
sticky drops of green
plastered among
the warmest browns
Your river's light lost
in the reeds
The walls of our house
stir and shake, children's
fingers poking in between
window frames, pushing
skeletons through spaces
in the screen -
They pulse there, hot
and wet like grass outside
on the lawn, my breath
catches when I think of them,
lungs trampled into the carpet
Our youth this yellow honeyed
liquid decomposing in the sun
Someday we'll sit, together,
and remember them
as they pass - today is not that day
Winds bluster through the cracks
and my highest clouds melt
with the fog
Deep love shoved
as food into the garbage,
moving bright under the grime
Yearning to be seen for
what it was,
kaleidoscope heart
shifting
until it found
what you were looking for
spinning
sharpening
they
fragment
in
the
sun
the
dourfull
night

it's very good, but feels like the blunted edge of a knife and not the razor sharp you are capable of !
‘ no one approves of suicide ’ by samuel benjamin elko junior
a poem by odi
--------------------
the post was :
i swore i'd never post here again but this will be an exception, or the exception !
where you excel is your combination of graphics ability and writing, why not offer doing book covers or advising on them?
what about doing posters or net advertising for people?
you have the ability there, it's unusual and you can be your own boss !
the enlightenizer is actually a very good quality advertisement !
any contacts in the advertising industry?
------------------
brad if you are reading this imo you have the sort of second rate “spiritual insight” that goes well in advertising and you would be a good fit
do you want to be the second rate teaching to the 6th or 7th rates when all you and they do is deny the first rate?
i'm not saying you are worse than what passes as a zen teacher, in fact you are better, not up to karl renz's level tho and he is still not fully there
financially advaita and tolle have wiped zen and intellectually the very poor quality of zen teachers is i suppose why the 6th patriarch gave me transmission tho as for setting things right there is no such thing
brad if you think you are first rate, why can't you reply to this, it is addressed to you !
as i said advertising is a better fit for you rather than pretending to something false in the first place !
------------------------------
my later comment is:
i did out a post on brad warners hardcore zen blog giving some advice on his question of what he should be doing for more income !
i noticed some things , one thing which i found surprising is i couldn't stand to have post on that blog ! i think this is a combination of the aggressive wrong minded turds on that board and they and brad really having injured me and they being an affront to infinity so to speak by rejecting what i took the trouble to write and mainly for their benefit
i have trouble getting to grips with punishing in some way or avoiding those who injure me
interestingly gniz who is a successful e-book author was advising brad to write or format some of his work more appropriately for the e-book audience, but brad is not writing entertainment strictly speaking, or rather the sort of pap he does write is entertainment only to a very small group of people who have some background in zen and failure
maybe not such a small group ; o )
i wish i could be more generous or sympathetic to his problems but i find i can't and i feel that is a judgement infinity or buddha or god has made on him, he has been offered opportunity but refused the guidance !
maybe he did need to drink !
too much work tho !
in the right way
you could spend a lifetime rendering one poem
drawings including the poem or vice versa would be the next step
“ to
alexander graham ” and “ dear bryan wynter ”
interestingly harold pinter was a supporter of his !
zennor where bryan wynter lived at his cottage “ the carn ”
has an interesting mermaid legend

a lifetime of servitude for both parties ?
eileen’s reply:
when a man is available what does that signify....? the same slavery or something else....

suicide is always the result of a very sustained period of cripplingly deep depression, if they look normal to you, then you have to realise that you are also deeply depressed !
what i find gives the best insights about life is a combination of this sort of severity of depression but somehow insulated from it and also mania, sort of a push pull pump if you will !
sylvia plath, edgar allen poe, emily dickinson, charles bukowski, john keats, william and dorothy wordsworth, coleridge, charles dickens, sa'di, basho, mahler, berlioz......... you can see it if you know where to look and what to look for !
life and infinity are pretty casual about death !
are
over
certain
of
your
own
viewpoint !
(ed. this came in three parts, first section, then the sunlight reflecting line, then the last bit about being too certain of your opinion; a sort of triptych if you will : o )
they're gone and as time goes on
it
shows
them
not
to
be
there !

yeah i don't believe in astrology but my star sign is a virgo!
the trick is to read all the signs and they are pretty well applicable, generalized advice and thoughts about life, homilies if you will !
interestingly, dogen whose father was likely minamoto michichika was quite well connected to the ruling minamoto clan and given kamakura support dogen was more prominent in his time than might be expected
warrior monks were an issue at the time so a friendly non militant zen teacher like dogen would have been a political plus !
it's interesting all the zen fools and toads that infect the zen centers and message boards have never looked at the broader history of the period which is very interesting, wars and famines being conspicuous in the period just before his birth, a relatively quiet time during his life, but with famines and the jokyu disturbance !
zen was not welcome in kyoto which was a stronghold of competing sects!
the governing elite attached to the emperors and court in kyoto was extremely literary and in fact there had been a many centuries tradition of it so dogen needs to be understood in that context, (hyper lexic he was ;o)
the best poets understand, zen doesn't, of course zennits never read good poetry for the reason their poor turbid putrid brains might be overwhelmed
some-one like brad warner who can waste his life living the illusion of competence when he's just a mass media and music swilling pig defies categorization !
cat got your tongue and face brad ?
can't cope with any well driven nails into the head can you or any other zen teacher !
just fucking frauds !
dogen should have never become a monk, the poor diet and disease rife in monasteries was responsible for his TB !
he could have had a nice life as a court aristocrat !
he was very capable, he would have done well and not got so screwed up with voynich !
however making catastrophic life mistakes is part of developing understanding, or at least, has that potential, today's fake monastics and lay sanga and teachers float through life like a breeze with no spikes through their brains and hearts to wreck/create that sort of ultra profound dissonance that can open to realization !

eileen asks
john read my storm poem and finds it very confusing asked me what it was
do u think its just a jumble of words?
he didn't see it as a poem even
my
reply :
nah, it's really good, he's just the type that doesn't like the worlds poetry opens up
you have to think differently even to read it, making sense of it takes his brain to places he doesn't want to go
most people are like that
eileen continues:
ok
yeah i suppose ur right
even i have to read it slow to myself now it's written
i'm not comfortable with it either but i was when it came for the writing of
strange that
do like it tho somehow
Lol vanity
was one of those sorta electric evenings

this ability to develop an uncertainty about our opinions and views and test them/things experimentally is a fundamental life skill
like i think this, but how does it really work in practice?
i think a problem with the education system is it teaches the opposite, what one is told or has learnt is right and don't ever test it because the results might frighten others
green elderberries and the wood are toxic, but properly black ripe ones are not, i don't think dry or fresh makes any difference to toxicity
i have never eaten elderberries and am going abit on my experience with blueberries regarding the bcd
fresh pasturized blueberries with the houston enzymes used as described below are a fabulous anti-biofilmic !
this video says red
elderberries are also ok if your remove the seeds and and cook the pulp !
from a bcd point of view there's pasturizing which is simply bringing the berries up to 68C and then if it's needed, some cooking to break down the fiber a bit or what you would do normally !
of course cooking naturally does pasturizing, but it also denatures potentially valuable food factors like vitamin C, like if i am pasturizing raspberries i only toss them in at the end so they don't really cook, but just get heated up to 68C or a bit higher so the vitamin C is retained
but fruit also has to be easily digestible so it's a question of balance !
sweet fruit imo needs buffering with cream, fish oil and possibly something like quark cheese
i do much prefer fresh or frozen fruit to dried and dried may need a reasonable amount of soaking !
i take 1 to 2 each of the houston no-fenol and zyme prime enzymes mixed in water after fruit meals !
this both provides anti-biofilmic action, digestion help and unlocking the medicinal power of the polyphenols

my

jeremiah, the at least 1,500 year middle eastern tradition of prophesy or political comment or shit stirring ! !
if you look at marquese scott he avoids those extreme joint damaging movements you do i agree you gotta do what you love, but you also have to last doing it
: o )
the kimmi smiles homily is really about what arseholes people are, using damaged women for their own gains and then putting the bullshit out about how wonderful these women are when they are being killed by being so “ beneficial ”
andrew smiles might be the male version

lol, willows in a climate where they had to get all their water from roof collection !
maybe they had more regular rainfall then?
that they can tell what was growing in that garden 2500 years ago is just amazing !
“ down by the rivers of babylon ”, because it was a river they had willows, it's just amazing how this stuff can synchronize across the millenia!
naia kete and barefoot truth work extraordinarily well together, MAGIC
there is recent research showing that things have swung to far the other way, that we are so covered and sunscreened up (not to mention nanoparticles in sunscreen!) that we are not getting enough sun skin exposure !
full spectrum sun has a complex effect , not just vitamin D, but helps with the joints and toning down over excitable immune systems and in fact improves resistance to cancer (tho obviously skin cancers can be induced by too much sun)
we are a species evolutionarily designed to be outdoors with alot of sun exposure and in fact white is evolved from black our need for it is so great, there's heaps of more subtle issues like an increase schizophrenia in children born of mothers who don't get enough sun and such like
