Watch the Weather Change...

"Israel has said a strike on Iran will be "unavoidable" if the Islamic regime continues to press ahead with alleged plans for building an atom-bomb." (London Daily Telegraph, 6/11/2008)

"Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany joined President Bush on Wednesday in calling for further sanctions against Iran if it does not suspend its uranium enrichment program." Mr. Bush stressed again that "all options are on the table," which would include military force. (New York Times, 6/11/2008)

"What we have here is sort of a coincidencia oppositorum. Imagine if you walked into a woman giving birth and had never seen or even heard that situation before. You'd think it was a catastrophe. There's blood, screaming, agony. But what else is happening? A new being of infinite potential and experience is entering the world." Terence McKenna (Imagination in the Light of History 1992)

We are fast approaching the final six months of the Bush administration. The quagmire in Iraq is in its sixth painful year with no real end in sight and the forgotten war in Afghanistan is well into its seventh year. The "dead enders" and other armed factions are still alive and well in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan again controls most of that country. Gas prices have now reached an average of $4.00 a gallon nationally and several analysts predict the price will rise to $5.00-$6.00 dollars per gallon at the pump by Labor Day. This, despite assurances by some major supporters of the decision to invade Iraq that the Iraq war "will pay for itself" (Paul Wolfowitz) or that we will see "$20.00 per barrel" oil prices if we invade Iraq (Rupert Murdoch).

One thing the Pentagon routinely does (and does very well) is conduct war games. Top brass there are constantly developing strategies for conducting any number of theoretical missions based on real or perceived threats to our national security or vital interests. This was also done prior to the invasion of Iraq, but the Bush administration chose not to listen to the dire warnings about that mission given to him by Pentagon leaders, or for that matter, by his own senior intelligence officials. Nevertheless, war gaming is in full swing again right now with the bullseye just to the right of our current mess – Iran.

It’s no secret that the U.S. is currently putting the finishing touches on several contingency plans for attacking Iranian nuclear and military facilities. With our ground forces stretched to the breaking point in Iraq and Afghanistan, none of the most likely scenarios involve a ground invasion. Not that this administration wouldn’t prefer to march into the seat of Shiite Islam behind a solid, moving line of M1 Abrams tanks and proclaim the country for democracy. The fact is that even the President knows we can’t pull that off any more so he and the neo-cons will have to settle for Shock and Awe Lite.

If we invade Iran this year it will be done using hundreds of sorties by carrier based aircraft already stationed in the Persian Gulf and from land based aircraft located in Iraq and Qatar. They will strike the known nuclear facilities located in and around Tehran and the rest of the country as well as bases containing major units of the Iranian military, anti-aircraft installations and units of the Revolutionary Guard (a separate and potent Iranian para-military organization).

Will this military action stop Iran’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons? Probably not. It will probably not even destroy all of their nuclear research facilities, the most sensitive of which are known to be underground, protected by tons of earth and reinforced concrete and steel designed to survive almost all attacks using conventional munitions. The Iranian military and Revolutionary Guard will most likely survive as well, although they will suffer significant casualties and major bases and command centers will undoubtedly be destroyed. However, since Iran has both a functioning Air Force, Navy (including submarines) and modern anti-aircraft capabilities, U.S. fighter-bombers will suffer casualties as well. This will not be a "Cake Walk" as with the U.S. led invasion of Iraq in 2003 when the Iraqi Army simply melted away and the Iraqi Air Force never even launched a single aircraft.

Not even close.

If the United States attacks Iran either this summer or this fall, the American people had better be prepared for a shock that may perhaps be even greater to the national psyche (and economy) than 9/11. First of all, there will be significant U.S. casualties in the initial invasion. American jets will be shot down and the American pilots who are not killed will be taken prisoner - including female pilots. Iranian Yakhonts 26, Sunburn 22 and Exocet missiles will seek out and strike U.S. naval battle groups bottled up in the narrow waters of the Persian Gulf with very deadly results. American sailors will be killed and U.S. ships will be badly damaged and perhaps sunk. We may even witness the first attack on an American Aircraft carrier since World War II.

That’s just the opening act.

Israel (who had thus far stayed out of the fray by letting the U.S. military do the heavy lifting) is attacked by Hezbollah in a coordinated and large scale effort. Widespread and grisly casualties effectively paralyze the nation, a notion once thought impossible. Iran’s newest ally in the region, Syria, then unleashes a barrage of over 200 Scud B, C and D missiles at Israel, each armed with VX gas. Since all of Israel is within range of these Russian built weapons, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and virtually all major civilian centers and several military bases are struck, often with a result of massive casualties.

The Israeli Air Force orders all three squadrons of their F-16I Sufa fighter/bombers into the air with orders to bomb Tehran and as many military and nuclear bases as they can before they are either shot down or run out of fuel. It is a one way trip for some of these pilots. Their ancient homeland lies in ruins. Many have family that is already dead or dying. They do not wait for permission from Washington, DC or U.S. regional military commanders. The Israeli aircraft are carrying the majority of their country’s nuclear arsenal under their wings.

Just after the first waves of U.S. bombers cross into Iranian airspace, the Iranian Navy, using shore based missiles and small, fast attack craft sinks several oil tankers in the Straits of Hormuz, sealing off the Persian Gulf and all its oil from the rest of the world. They then mine the area, making it difficult and even deadly for American minesweepers to clear the straits. Whatever is left of the Iranian Navy and Air Force harasses our Navy as it attempts minesweeping operations. More U.S casualties.

The day after the invasion Wall Street (and to a lesser extent, Tokyo, London and Frankfurt) acts as it always does in an international crisis – irrational speculative and spot buying reaches fever pitch and sends the cost of oil skyrocketing. In the immediate aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Iran, the price of oil goes to $200.00 - $300.00 dollars a barrel on the open market. If the war is not resolved in a few weeks, that price could rise even higher. This will send the price of gasoline at the pump in this country to $8.00-$10.00 per gallon immediately and subsequently to even higher unthinkable levels.

If that happens, this country shuts down. Most Americans are not be able to afford gas to go to work. Truckers pull their big rigs to the side of the road and simply walk away. Food, medicine and other critical products are not be brought to stores. Gas and electricity (what is left of the short supply) are too expensive for most people to afford. Children, the sick and elderly die from lack of air-conditioned homes and hospitals in the summer. Children, the sick and elderly die in the winter for lack of heat. There are food riots across the country. A barter system takes the place of currency and credit as the economy dissolves and banks close or limit withdrawals. Civil unrest builds.

The police are unable to contain the violence and are themselves victims of the same crisis as the rest of the population. Civilian rule dissolves and Martial Law is declared under provisions approved under the Patriot Act. Regular U.S. Army and Marine troops patrol the streets. The federal government apparatus is moved to an unknown but secure location. The United States descends into chaos and becomes a third world country. Its time as the lone superpower is over.

It doesn’t get any worse than this.

Then the first Israeli bomber drops its nuclear payload on Tehran.

Water Car in Japan

Last week, Oxfam and other global poverty groups met with Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda. At this meeting, we handed him a global petition with over 575,000 signatures calling on world leaders to take strong action against climate change.

The prime minister was very open to our calls for strong actionon climate change and tackling global poverty. We have you to thank for helping us deliver such a powerful message.

Now let's keep up the momentum! Can you forward this email to five friends and ask them to sign our petition?

Send your friends tohttp://act.oxfamamerica.org/campaign/2008_g8 .

While we delivered the initial petition to Prime Minister Fukuda, we want to grow the petition to ONE MILLION concerned citizens worldwide before the leaders of the eight richest countries (the G8) meet in two weeks.

Climate change is already exacting a severe toll on poor communities. Their homes and farms are the ones hardest hit when droughts, flooding, and storms strike.

Our growing petition has the power to put climate change and poverty at the center of the debate at the G8 Summit. The summit coincides with the famous Japanese Tanabata festival, where people tie written wishes to bamboo trees. We'll present the petition as our fervent wish: that the G8 leaders commit to ending global poverty and fighting climate change.

Thank you!!

Terreform Treehouse

As part of the ecological architecture nonprofit Terreform, Mitchell Joachim, Lara Greden, and Javier Arbona designed this living treehouse in which the dwelling itself merges with its environment and nourishes its inhabitants. Fab Tree Hab dissolves our conventional concept of home and establishes a new symbiosis between the house and its surrounding ecosystem.

In order to build the arboreal frame, the designers utilize “pleaching” - a gardening technique in which tree branches are woven together to form living archways. Trees such as Elm, Live Oak, and Dogwood bear the heavier loads, while vines, branches, and plants form a lattice for the walls and roof of the house. The interior structure is made of cob (clay and straw), a tried-and-true green building approach that lends itself to customized shaping of walls and ceilings.

EV1

Someone recently told me about an electric car that GM released a few years ago called the EV1. This car was leased to about 200 people in Arizona and California. The owners were happy but after the 1 or 2 year lease was up GM took the cars back and destroyed them despite the interest of the owners in keeping the cars. They claimed that they wouldn't manufacture these cars because they wouldnt make a profit and instead sued the state of California to lower clean vehicle registrations

the technology is out there its just too bad that the interest is in financial profit rather than environmental benefit, but who needs a clean earth when you could have millions of dollars to keep you happy instead?

Electric Sheep

This total dominating rager from Devon, England told me about this awesome screen saver in the midst of a heavy (heady) convo yesterday. Click the title link to transport yourself there through the fractal tunnel of information known as the interweb. Much love to everyone, take a few extra drops for me at the Bloom. Untz.

"Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver created by Scott Draves. It's run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.

Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience. You can also design your own sheep and submit them to the gene pool."

Claypool Talks Apricot

Cellular Flash Memory Data Travellers

"By appropriating and re-visioning communication technologies, the spiritual imagination often fashions symbols and rituals from the technical mode of communication it employs: hieroglyphs, printing press, the online database. By reimagining technologies in this way, new meanings are invested into the universe of machines, and new virtual possibilities emerge. The very ambiguity of the term information, which has made it such an infectious and irritating buzzword, has also allowed old intuitions to pop up in secular guise. Today there is so much pressure on information - the word, the concept, the stuff itself - that it crackles with energy, drawing to itself mythologies, metaphysics, hints of arcane magic. As information expands beyond its reductive sense as a quantitative measure of meaning, groups and individuals also find room to resist and recast the dominant technological narratives of way and commerce and to inject their fractured postmodern lives with digitally remastered forms of community, imagination, and cosmic connection...One thing seems clear: We cannot afford to think in the Manichean terms that often characterize the debate on new technologies. Technology is neither a devil or an angel. But neither is it simply a "tool," a neutral extension of some rock-solid human nature. Technology is a trickster, and it has been so since the first culture hero taught the human tribe how to spin wool before he pulled it over our eyes. The trickster shows how intelligence fares in an unpredictable and chaotic world; he beckons us through the open doors of innovation and traps us in the prison of unintended consequences. '

ERIK DAVIS - TECHGNOSIS



Balance is the key player in this binary universe. As cellular flash memory data travelers, we must find balance between the needs of the spirit and that of the soul. The spirit wishes to climb to the top of the mountain, while the soul rushes like a river through the valleys below.

All throughout our days we move through space, subject to entirely different sets of information. Our planet is moving through space, and on a small scale, we get to move through space as well. In our dreams, I suppose we get to travel the unbridled spiritual universe.

While it does not seem like it in our day to day lives, we are intergalactic space travelers and we are reaching the point in which we need to start understanding reality in three dimensions. A crystal expert, Brett Bravo, said that the Age of Pisces was defined by the symbol of the cross, but the Age of Aquarius will be symbolized by the crystal.

If we break down crystals, they are three dimensional geometric figures, while the cross is very much in 2d. If we throw a rock in a pond, and watch the waves cast by the impact, it is not unusual to think of it as two dimensional. This is our we think of our solar system, with each planet spinning around the sun. However, the wave has an element of curl to it, and so in fact it is actually creating a vortex. Waves are not just like sin,cosine, etc, etc...That is thinking in 2d. They are vortex's, and so again to go back to the solar system, we are traveling around the sun like a three dimensional wave, and thus we are never in the same place in space time again.

I think this is the true nature of three-dimensional reality, which I know at least for myself, is not solidified in my consciousness. Living on our current schedule of time while being often bombarded with the mundane side-products of a materialistic, patriarchal, backwards society, I think has influenced our operating systems, and not for the better. Spinning around as a planet, and spinning around the sun, week after week and year after year, hour after hour is two dimensional; and essentially keeping the operating system at a level of operation only concerned with the human experience.

Understanding three dimensions, I believe, is a courageous act of the spirit, and to counterbalance this, the soul wants to reconnect with the vastness, stillness, and infinite beauty that was prexistent before we got here. A book is two dimensional since it is published and supposedly does not change, whereas since the internet is dynamic, it is three. An unsustainable society is two dimensional since it does not give back as much as it takes, whereas since a sustainable one is dynamic, it is three.

I offer this potential explanation for our existence.

If you watch Paul Stamet's Ted Talk on how 6 ways mushrooms can save the world, he will fill you in that we are more closely related to the fungi kingdom than any other kingdom. In the aftermath of an asteroid 60-70 million years ago in which debris filled the atmosphere to the point where we could not see the sun, fungi were the kings of the earth. In this event they created a mycelium network through out earth's soil which transported and allocated resources to the various life forms on earth. If again for a moment think that as we travel through space we are being subject to different sets of information, that if the universe is expanding there is something contracting, everything is information. Mycellium, then, transports information through out the earth, and thus, the internet was perhaps a natural consequence of an already pre-existing model of technology to transport and allocate resources.

A possible theory of evolution according to Terence Mckenna is that in the plains of northern Africa, human beings's modes of consciousness and self-reflection (or perhaps an easy word: software) was catalyzed by the effects of psilocybin mushrooms. These humans who were fond of the hooved cattle of the region were more than likely exposed to the edible fungus which has for as long as we know, grown of out cow shit (See: Bill Hicks Drugs and Evolution).

As Stamset points out, as well as the television series Planet Earth, fungus can restructure the lives of ants. But it is important to note, that in order to do this they simply blast out of the ants head. I pose the question then, what do psilocybin mushrooms do to humans, other than break open their heads?

Here comes the heavy....I contend that we are the products of a higher intelligence which has existed within the fungi kingdom for as long as there has been life on earth. Spores can travel through space.

We are now at the point to potentially realize this...realize this reality of three dimensional space time travel. The fungus has for as long as its been here been a mechanism for symbiosis, and it has taught us what this means. In order for a mammal species to get to here, it took a long, long time, but we're here, so now what?

I believe we all have three eyes, and exist somewhere else in a spiritual universe. The underlying vibration, for lack of a better term, is love. Potentially we perceive reality with our eyes at 30 frames per second, in modes of adrenaline we can see it at higher levels, and thus time can slow down. What happens upon introspection however? Does time really exist?

We currently explode everything, but I think as a whole we are in a time of implosion. I think as a whole we may be crossing the event horizon, our vortex spinning faster and faster, and hopefully will be realized when our star passes our galactic equator, but if not...that's ok.

If you've been given love, you have to trust it...bjork

You can't trust your eyes if your imagination is out of focus...Mark Twain

ultrasound......not just for babies

Holosonic Research Labs..... Their incredibly cool Audio Spotlight technology fires a narrow beam of ultrasound that distorts in a predictable pattern through as it travels through air. The result is the sonic equivalent of a laser - an invisible ray of sound that can only be heard by someone standing directly in its path. sooooo.
Basically, Audio Spotlight turns the AIR into a loudspeaker that can only be heard by standing INSIDE of it. Sound can be projected like a beam of light, bounced off of surfaces, and manipulated in all kinds of other novel ways. The New York Times called Audio Spotlight "the most radical technological development in acoustics since the coil loudspeaker was invented in 1925," and with good reason...

GM Considers Selling Hummer Line

Reacting to growing consumer sentiment, General Motors chief executive G. Richard Wagoner Jr. said yesterday that the world's biggest automaker will consider revamping or selling off some of the world's biggest passenger vehicles -- the Hummer line.

Is there any vehicle that so incites the ire, the anger, the reptile-brain rage of a group of people? Is there any other vehicle that has suffered as much defacement by eco-vandals?

Read the whole story here.

This photo released yesterday depicts members of a tribe in the Amazon rain forest firing arrows at an airplane. Apparently, the tribe has never had any contact with humans outside of their own group. And there are likely many other "uncontacted" tribes in the region too. From National Geographic:
"We are very confident the photos are genuine," said Miriam Ross, a spokesperson for Survival International, which estimates that half of the hundred or so uncontacted tribes in the world live in the rain forests of Brazil and Peru.

Some experts say few, if any, tribes have had no outside contact. It's more likely is that previous generations had negative encounters, prompting social taboos that continue to drive clans deeper into isolation.

Due to their vulnerable immune systems, these groups are highly susceptible to diseases borne by outsiders such as missionaries, loggers, or oil workers.

in a new homeland securty directive, bush has declared the right to martial law if any disaster come to fruition in the last few months of his POWER. we have talked about this on the blog before, but is seems as pertinant as ever. he has removed the constitution's call for a meeting with congress prior to taking control, and has virtually enabled himself to become a dictator. our "soft" media in this country would never covera story like this for fear of losing funding from advertisers. take a look:

drugs=bad?

the prescription drug companies are outta control. they seek profit and disregard all barriers of safety and morality. they constantly make up new conditions in order to "provide salvation" through chemicals. the long term effects are often unknown and lobbyists in Washington make sure the FDA does not hold things up. blah blah. the list goes on. bad news.

this link shows a mind-boggling catalogue of prescription drug related murders, suicides and arrests. these drugs are not only failing to help many people, but are part of a serious problem effecting our society. ALL of the SCHOOL SHOOTINGS in recent history in america are linked to drugs like zoloft and prosac.......

a quick glance will do

it will come; it is coming

" The phase of full participation is a growth phase in which we develop gifts that will be applied very differently later. The phase of trying to fix, to endure, to soldier on with a life that isn't working is a maturation phase that develops qualities of patience and determination and strength. The phase of discovering the all-encompassing nature of the problem is usually a phase of despair, but it need not be. Properly, it is a phase of rest, of stillness, of withdrawal, of preparation for a push. The push is a birth-push. Crises in our lives converge and propel us into a new life, a new being that we hardly imagine could exist, except that we'd heard rumors of it, echoes, and maybe even caught a glimpse of it here and there, been granted through grace a brief preview.
If you are in the midst of this process, you need not suffer if you cooperate with it. I can offer you two things. First is self-trust. Trust your own urge to withdraw even when a million messages are telling you, "The world is fine, what's wrong with you? Get with the program." Trust your innate belief that you are here on earth for something magnificent, even when a thousand disappointments have told you you are ordinary. Trust your idealism, buried in your eternal child's heart, that says that a far more beautiful world than this is possible. Trust your impatience that says "good enough" is not good enough. Do not label your noble refusal to participate as laziness and do not medicalize it as an illness. Your heroic body has merely made a few sacrifices to serve your growth.
The second thing I can offer you is a map. The journey I have described is not always linear, and you may find yourself from time to time revisiting earlier territory. When you find the right life, when you find the right expression of your gifts, you will receive an unmistakable signal. You will feel excited and alive. Many people have preceded you on this journey, and many more will follow in times to come. Because the old world is falling apart, and the crises that initiate the journey are converging upon us. Soon many people will follow the paths we have pioneered. Each journey is unique, but all share the same basic dynamics I have described. When you have passed through it, and understood the necessity and rightness of each of its phases, you will be prepared to midwife others through it as well. Your condition, all the years of it, has prepared you for this. It has prepared you to ease the passage of those who will follow. Everything you have gone through, every bit of the despair, has been necessary to forge you into a healer and a guide. The need is great. The time is coming soon "

election time

as i was talking about american politics with an australian friend of mine today i realized that i don't really know that much about the candidates and their positions on current issues. i wanted to know more but felt like it might be really overwhelming trying to learn all this information but was refered to a really good website. it gives a brief overview of many of the important issues, just a quick summary of each candidates position.

i know that many of you are very informed on this topic but i just thought i'd post this link for anyone who isn't so informed and wants to know a little more about where clinton, obama, and mccain stand. we'll all be voting soon and its important to know what you're voting for.

The Law (karma)

The sun may be clouded, yet ever the sun
Will sweep on its course till the cycle is run.
And when into chaos the systems are hurled
Again shall the Builder re-shape a new world.

Your path may be clouded, uncertain your goal;
Move on, for the orbit is fixed in your soul.
And though it may lead into darkness of night,
The torch of the Builder shall give it new light.

You were and you shall be, know this while you are;
Your spirit has travelled both long and afar.
It came from the Source, to the Source it returns;
The spark that was lighted eternally burns.

It slept in a jewel, it leaped in a wave,
It roamed in the forest, it rose from the grave.
It took on strange garbs for long aeons of years,
And NOW as the soul of YOURSELF it appears.

From body to body your spirit speeds on,
It seeks a new form when the old one is gone.
And the FORM that it finds, is the fabric you wrought
On the loom of the mind with the fibre of thought.

As dew is drawn upward, in rain to descend,
Your thoughts drift away and in destiny blend.
You cannot escape them; for petty, or great,
Or evil, or noble, they fashion your fate.

Somewhere, on some planet, some time and somehow,
Your life will reflect all the thoughts of your now,
The LAW is unerring; no blood can atone;
The structure you rear you must live in alone.

From cycle to cycle, through time and through space,
Your lives with your longings will ever keep pace,
And all that you ask for, and all you desire,
Must come at your bidding as flames out of fire.

You are your own devil, you are your own God.
You fashioned the paths your footsteps have trod.
And no one can save you from error or sin.
Until you shall hark to the spirit within.

One list to that voice, and all tumult is done
Your life is the life of the infinite one
In the hurrying race you are conscious of pause,
With love for the purpose, and love for the cause.

willful eyes

Perhaps you are used to thinking about your eyes as a doorway that lets light and
vision into your mind? Through them we absorb images that tell us what is happening in
the world around us. We usually think of sight as a passive experience, like watching a
movie.
When a scientist observes his experiment, however, quantum mechanics tells us that
it is not entirely a passive process. Her observation will, subtly or grossly, affect the process
that she is observing, will influence the outcome of the experiment. This influence is not simply
selective observation, the mind filtering its inputs (which happens all the time), but is such that
the events themselves are altered by the observations process.
Remember the experience of riding as a passenger in an automobile with a driver who you
didn't fully trust? Perhaps they are angry, or tired, or for some other reason aren't giving the road
their full attention. You may have noticed yourself trying to make up for their lack of attention by
increasing your own, leaning into the curves, breaking with your feet, or perhaps you have found
yourself willing the car around the curves or to break at a light? Now your eyes are actively trying
to manage the world around you, to create your experience, manifest a positive outcome.
In fact, we often use our eyes to create what we see, to will our life into existence, either
literally or figuratively, in our imaginations.

Sing Along

Yeasayer

I can't sleep when I think about the times we're living in,
I can't sleep when I think about the future I was born into,
Outsiders dressed up like Sunday morning,
With no Berlin wall what the hell you gonna do.

It's a New Year,
I'm glad to be here
It's a fresh spring,
So let's sing.

In 2080
I'll surely be dead
So don't look ahead,
Never look ahead

It's a New Year,


I'm glad to be here
It's the first spring,
So let's sing.

And the moon shines bright
On the water tonight
So we won't drown
In the summer sound.

If you find me I'll be sitting by the water fountain,
Picket signs, letdowns, meltdown it's Monday morning
But it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright,
Cause in no time, They'll be gone I guess I'll still be standing here.

Yeah Yeah we can all grab at the chance and be handsome farmers,
Yeah you can have twenty one sons and be blood when they marry my daughters,
And the pain that we left at the station will stay in a jar behind us.
We can pickle the pain into blue ribbon winners at county contests.

Sing, Dance, Dazzle and Yawp

Quotes that resonate with my being on this, the last day of my Rat Race.....


Alan Watts
From "Coincidence of Opposites"

"In music, though, one doesn't make the end of a composition. The point of the composition is not to get to the end of the composition. If that were so the best composers would be the ones that got to the end the fastest. And there would be composers who only wrote finales. People would go to the concert just to hear one crashing chord. Cause that's the end. Same as dancing. You don't aim at a particular spot in the room where you should arrive. The whole point of dancing is the dance.

But we don't see that as something brought on by our education in our everyday conduct. We've got a system of schooling which gives a completely different impression. It's all graded. And what we do is we put the child into the corridor of this grade system. And then you start off kindergarten, and that's a great thing because you get into first grade. And then common, first grade leads into second grade and so on, and then you get out of grade school and you've got high school. And its revving up. The thing is coming. Then you've got to go to college, and hopefully you go to graduate school. And when you're through with graduate school you go out to join the world. And then you get into some racket where you're selling insurance. And they've got that quota to make and you've gotta make that. And all that time the thing is coming. Its coming, that great thing, that success you've been working for. Then one day you wake up about 40 years old and you say, "my god, I've arrived! I'm there!" And you don't feel very different from what you always felt. And there's a slight let down because you feel it was a hoax. And it was a hoax, a dreadful hoax. They made you miss everything. By expectation there are the people who lived to retire, and put those savings away. And then when they're sixty five they don't have any energy left. It feels like we've cheated ourselves the whole way down the line. We thought of life by analogy with a journey, with a pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end. And the thing was, to get to that end, success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after your dead. But we missed the whole point all the way along. It was a musical thing, and you were supposed to sing...or to dance while the music was being played."

Walt Whitman
From "Leaves of Grass"

Long enough have you dreamed contemptible dreams,
Now I wash the Gum from your eyes,
You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and
of every moment of your life.

Long have you timidly waded, holding a plank by the
shore,
Now I will you to be a bold swimmer,
To jump off in the midst of the sea, and rise again and
nod to me and shout, and laughingly dash with your
hair.

....

Why should I wish to see God better that this day?
I see something of God in each hour of the twenty-four, and
each moment then,
In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own
face in the glass;
I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every
one is signed by God's name,
And I leave them where they are, for I know that others
will punctually come forever and ever.

....

I too am not a bit tamed....I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp of the roofs of the world.

obama does not go so far as to say that federal policy will be totally amended to allow all states to have the right to medicinal marijuana, but he seems to pledge that states in which it is allowed (like colorado and california) patients and doctors will not be subject to federal crimes as they are now. thats a pretty huge step in the right direction, in my opinion....

Via Newscientist.com:

Humble fungi found in most back gardens could help clean up battlefields contaminated with depleted uranium.

At present, sites can be partial decontaminated by physically collecting and disposing of fragments from shells. However, radioactive particles and dust from explosions remain in the soil, preventing full reclamation.

Now, a research team in Scotland has established that common fungi can grow on and chemically lock away the offending uranium. As their hyphal filaments sprawled across fragments of depleted uranium, the tubules gradually became coated in a yellowy mineral....

Arthur Koestler

I am trying to study for a final about dissident politics in the 20th century, which is no doubt very interesting, but I am no doubt likely to fail...Regardless, I was doing a little research on a guy named Arthur Koestler who we had talked about, and I found this article he wrote in response to Huxley: Doors of Perception. The guy was interested in many other things besides politics, like telepathy/telekinesis/quantum mechanics/synchronicity, and stumbled upon psychedelics later in life after receiving a letter from T Leary which is in this article. He takes a nice stance at the end in my opinion, which is sort of in an Alan Watts way of things, like "if you've got the message, hang up the phone..." Just thought I'd throw it out there, good writing- I hope to check out some of his books, apparently they have served as inspiration for Sting and the Pat Methany Group.

"In Heaven and Hell, defending the mescalin ecstasy against the reproach of artificiality, Huxley, the most highly respected exponent of the cult, argues that `in one way or another, all our experiences are chemically conditioned'; and that the great mystics of the past also 'worked systematically to modify their Body chemistry ...starving themselves into low blond Bugar and a vitamin deficiency. They sang interminable psalms, thus increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the lungs and the bloodstream, or, if they were orientals, they did breathing exercises to accomplish the Same purpose.' There is, of course, a certain amount of truth in this an a purely physiological level, but the conclusions which Huxley draws, and the advice he tenders to modern man in search of a soul, are all the more distressing: 'Knowing as he does what are the chemical conditions of transcendental experience, the aspiring mystic should turn for technical help to the specialists in pharmacology, in bio-chemistry, in physiology and neurology ...'

I would like to answer this with a parable. In the beloved Austrian mountains of my school-days, it took us about five to six hours to climb a 7,000-ft. peak. Today, many of them can be reached in a few minutes by Gable-Gar, or ski-lift, or even by motorcar. Yet you still sec thousands of schoolboys, middle-aged couples and elderly men puffeng and panting up the steep path, groaning under the load of their knapsacks. When they arrive at the alpine refuge near the summet, streaming with sweat, they shout for their traditional reward -a Blass of shnapps and a plate of hot pea-soup. And then they look at the view-and then there is only a man and a mountain and a sky. My point is not the virtue of sweat and toil. My point is that, although the view is the Same, their vision is different from those who arrive by motorcar." -A. Koestler: Return Trip to Nirvana 1968

I was sort of out of the loop on how amazing open source can be...I almost got one that University of Cal Berkeley had designed, but this is much more what I am looking for. I think for anyone who is interested, Windows users in particular, you can download the file, burn it and then reformat...You could do it w/out reformatting too I'm sure, I'm just currently in the market.

The amount of open source software is pretty amazing and check out these open music websites

Cool Geology

Impact crater off the coast of England in the North Sea. The asteroid was 200 to 500 meters (660 to 1700 feet) across and estimated to have impacted the Earth 60 to 65 million years ago. The crater is 3 kilometers (almost 2 miles) wide and 300 meters (almost 1000 feet) deep!!
The color image is a 3D seismic image of the crater.
