  lets play a game

  
  

   

  
  

  lets link this moment

  
  

   

  
  

  to a year ago

  
  

   

  
  

  and a year past that

  
  

   

  
  

  and observe

  
  

   

  
  

  the temporal qualities  

  
  

   

  
  

    

  
  

   

  
  

    

  
  

  
  

   

  
  

   Today

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

  yep it’s my birthday today

  
  

  this is my 48 year if 

  
  

  i were forced to count years

  
  

  To me my birthday is not about me

  
  

  but about my parents

  
  

  through their shared intention 

  
  

  I was given a door way to enter into this world

  
  

   and through their love and attention

  
  

   I grew and flourished

  
  

  so today

  
  

   

  
  

  I give special thanks to my mother and father

  
  

  for the most precious of things 

  
  

  the gift of life

  The most common ego identifications

  
  

  have to do with possessions,

  
  

  the work you do, social status and recognition,

  
  

  knowledge and education,

  
  

  physical appearance,

  
  

  special abilities,

  
  

  relationships,

  
  

  personal and family history,

  
  

  belief systems,

  
  

  and often also political,

  
  

  nationalistic,

  
  

  racial,

  
  

  religious,

  
  

  and other collective identifications

  
  

   

  
  

  None of these are you..

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Eckhart Tolle

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

  As you go more deeply into the realm of no-mind,

  
  

  as it is sometimes called in the East,

  
  

  you realize the state of pure consciousness.

  
  

  In that state, you feel your own presence with such intensity

  
  

  and such joy that all thinking,

  
  

  all emotions,

  
  

  your physical body,

  
  

  as well as the whole external world

  
  

  become relatively insignificant in comparison to it.

  Networks
  At any given moment in any population of human beings, there will be individuals who have reached different stages in the developmental sequence. Each will possess a certain store of data and will consequently emit behaviors, which stimulate others who have reached a stage appropriate to respond to them. The product of interaction between such individuals will be certain typical relationships or attachments

  Smart slime shows it has power to a-maze

  
  

  Paris: Squidgy slime mould with just a single cell to its name has the intelligence to find the shortest way around a maze  Japanese researchers say.
  

  Scientists from the Bio-Mimetic Control Research Centre in Nagoya took a piece of Physarum polycephalum, an amoeba -like organism, and placed it in a 30-square-centimetre maze consisting of a path of smooth gel on which it could travel, and “walls” of dry plastic film which it shunned.
  

  The slime then spread out its network of tube-like legs, called pseudopodia, to fill up all the available space in the maze.
  

  Enticing pieces of food, ground oat flakes, were placed at separate exit points of the maze. There were four possible routes between those two points.
  

  Sensing the food, the slime withdrew from the dead ends of the maze then stretched out its entire body along the shortest possible route between the two piles of nutrients, effectively “solving” the  puzzle
  

  “To maximise its foraging efficiency, and therefore its chances of survival, the [slime] changes its shape in the maze to form one thick tube covering the shortest distance between the food sources,” they write.
  

  “This remarkable process of cellular computation implies that cellular materials can show a primitive intelligence.”
  

  The study is published in _Nature_, the British science weekly.
  

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in  the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

  
  

  You are the bows  from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
  Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
  Kahlil Gibran

  ** Conversation Between Target and Disbeliever **   DISBELIEVER: “Why would anyone want to do that?”   TARGET: “So you would ask, ‘Why would anyone want to do that?’ ”   A heart felt expression from somewhere in America “Would only God let his spirit walk among us who struggle now to take back the freedom that government secrecy, and covered up government crime have stolen from current and all future generations, until this rot at the very core of formerly democratic nations is exposed and purged. “   The puppet Bush regime is using new, aggressive forms of brainwashing to change the very way Americans think and feel.      This is the psychological dimension of the “High Cabal’s” general onslaught against American workers, just as the “war on terrorism” is the military dimension and corporate crime and tax cuts for the rich comprise the economic dimension.      We are living under the beginning stages of a military dictatorship in precisely the same way that 1930s Germans suffered under the Nazi regime. http://www.hermes-press.com/brainwash1.htm http://ilovethemonkey.com/tolle/Tolle-EnteringTheNow-05of14.mp3   I like it when you already have had the realization…. “This   thinking   business   sucks.” – and  yet we  are  still trapped in it.. a matrix for your mind the best kept secret of all time The mother of all Control Dramas… is the enslavement of the mind to the illusions of   Past and future…..     this prison for your attention   Is  escaped only  now   by  focusing  your attention on the freedom found  in this moment   It has occured in my experience that control dramas lose their power … The moment you watch the level of thought…that created them. you are then able to disidenitify  from that thought  And   be truly  free from it   “Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended. Its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war . . . and in the degeneracy of manners and morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.”   James Madison, April 20, 1795   welcome to Oz…. I hope you have your glass slippers.           When our nation was created, its founders understood that all facets of the government, including the military, are created to serve the needs of the people. The American colonists had fought against a British army which did whatever its corrupt civilian monarch and other leaders told it to do. This is why Samuel Adams made the important distinction between the need for and the danger of a standing army. “A Standing Army,” Adams asserted, “however necessary it may be at some times, is always dangerous to the Liberties of the People.”      From the beginning of the establishment of a standing military, military personnel have had one of two primary mind-sets:   1. I will remain loyal to my sworn pledge to uphold the U.S. Constitution, no matter what. If I consider a civilian or military order or operation to be contradictory to the Constitution, I will not follow the order and will do whatever is in my power to stop the unconstitutional operation.        This mind-set is represented by such military leaders as (to name just a few): Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty (above) General Frederick Woerner–commander in Panama and replaced by Bush senior when he wouldn’t obey an illegal military order to attack Panama Admiral William Crowe–Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and replaced by Bush senior when he wouldn’t obey an illegal military order to attack Panama the six U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff in the time frame: 5/25/02 (before their arms were twisted by Powell and Bush to fall into line) Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. John Keane (above left) War Is A Racket, by General Smedley Butler, USMC, 1933  2. I will do whatever my civilian and military commanders tell me to do, without reflection on whether or not what they are ordering is permitted by the Constitution (since I want to get ahead in the military). This mind-set is represented by such people as: Colin Powell, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Bush senior’s presidency (took over when Admiral William Crowe wouldn’t agree to Bush senior’s illegal invasion of Panama) General Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the Gulf War against Iraq   General Maxwell Thurman, commander of Operation Just Cause, the military attack on Panama (took over from General Frederick Woerner, when Woerner wouldn’t agree to Bush senior’s illegal invasion of Panama) the six U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff in the time frame: 8/7/02 (after they’d been coerced into agreement with Bush and Powell) General Tommy Franks, current U.S. military commander in Afghanistan US Air Force General Ralph E. Eberhart, head of the newly established Northern Command         purpse…. intension attention universal sexual  vibrational  holographic holomorphic      This is a hatemail  someone  recently sent out to a “Vampyre”, the webmaster of thecovenorganization.com. ———–SNIP————– Background: I am a web developer by profession and hobby, living in the Southern region of the US. I’m 29, partnered with and bonded to a wonderful man who shares many of my interests. I was raised Southern Baptist and follow a predominantly Christian path, but am interested in and am open to all religions. I’ve dabbled a little in various forms of Craft. My roommate in college was a wiccan who taught me a little love and candle magik. I also have a profound interest in herbs and healing. Community Affiliations: I am not a formal member of any vampyric House or Clan, I am what you might call a Ronin or Rogue vampyre — one who prefers being solitary. However, I do hold several alliances and affiliations with various Houses. I am a supporter and friend to House DarkStar of Alabama. I am Abbon to House Eclipse of Washington D.C. I am 9th Cousin to House Quinotaur. I also have working affiliations or associations with various other organizations in the Community, such as Father Sebastian of the Sanguinarium and OSV, and Lord Simion of House Simion. .. What the fuck are you babbling about? House Quinotaur? Ronin Vampyres? Fae? Elves? WereKin? Are you high? Were you beaten so severely as a child that you don’t understand the differences between fiction and reality? Or is it that… You are a fucking idiot. My mind simply cannot understand the concept of why anyone on earth would claim to be a ‘vampire’, a purely mythical creature that sucks in more ways than one. I swear to god, ever since that stupid ass book and movie came out (Ann Rice/Interview with a Flamer), you kiddie winkies have been obsessing over gothic homoerotic imagery and dabbling in ‘The Craft’. Quantum Physics: REAL. Biology: REAL. The Craft / Wiccan “Magick”: FAKE. Dungeons / Dragons: FAKE. Lycanthropy, Vampirism, Elf Magic, and Goblins: FAKE. Study that carefully. If my son or daughter ever got involved with your pansy ass bullshit, I’d take them out back and drown them in a wading pool half filled with human urine, out of spite. Remember, it’s not too late to get yourself aborted. And just so that I don’t end up with my foot in my mouth years down the road when  the Vampyre Theocracy sets itself up as ruler of the world, go ahead and send your ninja vampyre assassins after me. I’ll be waiting.
