olympics soon

the Olympics come to china in under two weeks (the above graphic is old, but from right up the street from my flat). its kinda a big deal. i dont know what the atmosphere has been like in the states of late, but i can tell you that it is a hot topic in the Tibetan section of dharamsala, india, home to the dali lama. i have met quite a few monks, Tibetans, Indians, fellow travelers and others who gravitate towards sharing their view on the issue. things have ranged from utter hatred for china, all the way to feelings of insult from the world community for what the Olympics stand for: peace and global participation.

every corner in dharamsala is covered in posters condemning the Chinese and encouraging a boycott of the upcoming games. and why not? china has killed thousands, ruined the culture of one of our most preserved spiritual nations, displaced thousands, turned Lhasa into Disneyland China, and spread misinformation about the dali lama and culture in general. Tibetans in exile have been away from home longer than they were there. the traditions are dying, the youth have no sense of roots and the Maoist communist machine is preaching its "religion is poison" rhetoric till the water Buffalo come home. its sad.

on the other hand, china is so poised to look good on the global stage that the games have made them reconsider some of their environmental policies and attempt to try to 'green' Beijing. this may be mostly a farce in attempt to con the world into thinking that they have altruistic intentions about environmental code, but none the less it has produced results including the removal of millions of cars from the streets of the capital city. it wont last most likely, but its a step.

these games come at a crucial time in the history of our modern world. there are real forces in conflict right now and many of the old ways seem to be dying. there is a revitalization in knowledge and understating, there is a grassroots effort on many fronts pushing for a better tomorrow, there are policies in the mix that could change our world. but as unenlightened creatures die, they always struggle the hardest to hold on. we are witnessing that with oil companies, the record industry, the bush administration and forces of evil everywhere. they are losing ground and are fighting back with a vengeance as often as they can.

when i look to china, i see them on the offensive so hard that there is no system to check them. the world at large fears china, and they own so much of the US's economic interests that we would never say anything directly to them. they are in danger of leaping ahead and yet learning nothing from the mistakes of the industrialized nations that came before. they are beginning to consume culture, even destroy other's cultures, on a rapid and uncontrolled pace like never before.

then the Olympics come. the spotlights turn on china and people begin talking. people protest the torch. leaders say that will skip opening ceremonies. Tibetans envision a return home after china breaks under the pressure.
and yet, i see nothing changing. all the countries of the world attempt to hide from their own mistakes by pointing the country that has made more than them. China have become the scapegoat for climate change and seemingly absolve us from our responsibility. they pretend to have talks with the dali lama's envoy, but nothing seems to be changing.

so what do we do? (besides not shopping at wal-mart)

i was talking to a monk about this very situation. he became quite heated as the discussion began and i played devils advocate to extract his entire view. he was borderline angry when we discussed him fleeing the country 40 years ago through the mountains, or his family being killed, or friends being jailed, or the fact that he cant travel to any other country because of his refugee status, or his sentiments for monks that get beaten in the streets, or that young Tibetans will not know their heritage, or that.... and yet when i asked him how he FELT about it, he said: "well actually, i am HAPPY!!" smiling and laughing as if to shake away the contempt that was ALMOST present in his voice during our previous dialogue. he giggled i understood that no matter what anyone does, this monk can always retreat to the place where we are all one, nothing is undone and bliss penetrates every pore. it was a powerful moment.



we cant change the past. we cant control the present. we cant predict the future. but we can always change the way we relate to everything and we can always find shelter somewhere.
as we move forward trying create and manifest a culture and world that plays by rules that are fair, loving, creative and just, always remember there is a place to go when the going gets tough. i will see you there. love to you all from india.

Voyaging to DMT Space with Rick Strassman

What up ya'll....I just got back from Camp Bisco, had to leave early to help out a friend, but it was a fantastic time...In the spirit of Sir Simon Posford and Divine Moments of Truth I wanted to share this article with everyone.

Reality Sandwich: Voyaging to DMT Space with Dr. Rick Strassman

This website, Reality Sandwich is a really cool community with many talented writers discussing some of the most interested aspects of our current space and time.

Dr. Rick Strassman is a clinical psychiatrist/zen buddhist practitioner/leading DMT researcher....aka total shredder.

He has done the only US government approved study on the effects of DMT and is starting up new work, especially regarding the effects of Ayuhuasca, which is termed as the mother of all healers.

If you have time, please do your self a favor and check out these links. Here I have posted on sendspace.com a pdf file of Strassman's first book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule....As well as a book by a native Peruvian shaman, or ayuhuasquero.

There is reason many of us have gravitated towards this. Let us not allow what happened in the sixties reoccur. There is a wonderful opportunity to let psychedelics emerge out of the dark, and its part of it lies in the responsibility that the psychedelic community wishes to take.

We are the future....In the words of Younger Brother, the world is ours.

Much love.

I meant to put this on Phantasy Bisco but it won't let me post for seven days...If anyone wants to pass it on to any of those other boards, please feel free....We can together, help facilitate this project. Cottonwood needs support :)

What is your city's walk score???

http://www.walkscore.com

And also I came across this today and tested it out. Yes gas prices are skyrocketing and i'm happy that someone is trying to make a point. BUT how accurate is this walkometer? It rated both my hometown Mount Prospect, IL and Fort Collins, CO the same : somewhat walkable. Let's just say my little NW Chicago suburb was constructed for automobiles, there aren't even sidewalks on any main roads, thus making it COMPLETELY unwalkable. Whereas the Fort we all know if walkable/bikable (that is if your purple bike doesn't get stolen from the side of your house). So great idea google or whoever is really flying on the wing of this masterpiece, but let's be realistic here at the same time. I don't doubt that San Fran is the most walkable though...too bad I can't afford to live there

A little love from Queestown, New Zealand

I've been meaning to put this one up for a while, can't say I saw this and didn't think of you lovely shredders...

pt is good for somethings

I never win anyting, help me out...

Camp Bisco

What up fellow shredders? so i just back into the states and im headin to the original shred, "camp bisco" tomorrow and was just thinking how much better it would be if all my fellow CO shragers were coming to throwdown. I wish you all could come and smoke deemz, take dips, pound PBR's and get down and dirty but oh well. The bison/water buffalo and I will be representing huge for the whole crew! ill be back in a few weeks and we will all kill it just like old times. miss all of you...UNTZ


If anybody is making it out there this weekend hit me up...

love

i've been thinking about love a lot the last couple of days and it keeps coming up in various forms in different conversations with people.   ideas about selfless vs selfish love and the different forms it can take, a friendly love, a love for someone you just met, a deeper love, family love, the list goes on and on.  also the importance of really being able to love yourself before you can truly love another.  the importance of being grounded and satisfied with yourself and the things that you are before you can branch out and start loving others.  like a tree must root down before it can grow up and out.  sometimes its much harder than it sounds and other times it seems to come so easily - just like all things in life.  

i wanted to take a moment to tell all of you how much you mean to me and to thank you all for the various forms of love you have both given to and received from me.  i feel such a pure, true, deep love for many of you that i have really come to understand and appreciate much more recently.  before i left, while i was gone, and during my return so many of you have been there for me in ways that i don't think you are even aware of and i want to acknowledge that.  i am so lucky to live the life that i do and so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people.  i guess what i'm trying to say is thank you for all that you are and everything that you do and for not only being a part of my life but also letting me be a part of yours.

i love you

Many mammalian species: sexual endowment or intelligence...

Size Does Matter in Bats' Evolution By WILLIAM KATES, Associated Press
Writer

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - For some male bats, sexual prowess comes with a price:
smaller brains. A research team led by Syracuse University biologist Scott
Pitnick found that in bat species where the females are promiscuous, the
males boasting the largest testicles also had the smallest brains.
Conversely, where the females were faithful, the males had smaller testes
and larger brains.

"It turns out size does matter," said Pitnick, whose findings were published
in December in "Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Science," an
online journal.

The study offers evidence that males at least in some species make an
evolutionary trade-off between intelligence and sexual prowess, said David
Hoskens, a biologist at the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the
University of Exeter in England and a leading authority on bats' mating
behavior.

"Bats invest an enormous amount in testis, and the investment has to come
from somewhere. There are no free lunches," said Hoskens, who did not
participate in the study.

The relationship between the breeding system and relative brain size has
received little investigation, said Pitnick, who teaches evolution and
population biology and researches topics such as sexual selection and sexual
conflict.

Bats are the second largest group of mammals (behind rodents) with about
1,000 known species. Because of their exceptional navigational and flying
abilities, bats have been the subject of countless studies, providing
Pitnick and his colleagues Kate Jones of Columbia University and Gerald
Wilkinson of the University of Maryland with a bounty of data without
having to slink off into caves.

Pitnick's team looked at 334 species of bats and found a convincing contrast
in testes size. In species with monogamous females, males had testes
starting at 0.11 percent of their body weight and ranging up to 1.4 percent.
But in species where the females had a large number of mates, Pitnick found
testes ranged from 0.6 percent to 8.5 percent of the males' mass (in the
Rafinesque's big-eared bat).

"If female bats mate with more than one male, a sperm competition begins,"
Pitnick said. "The male who ejaculates the greatest number of sperm wins the
game, and hence many bats have evolved outrageously big testes."

Promiscuity is known to make a difference in testicle size in some other
mammals. For example, chimpanzees are promiscuous and have testicles that
are many times larger than those of gorillas, in which a single dominant
male has exclusive access to a harem of females.

Large brains, meanwhile, are metabolically costly to develop and maintain.
Pitnick's research suggested that in those bat species with promiscuous
females, the male's body used more of its energy to enhance the testes
giving it the greater adaptive advantage and lacked the energy it needed
to further develop the brain.

The study found that in more monogamous species, the average male brain size
was about 2.6 percent of body weight, while in promiscuous species, the
average size dipped to 1.9 percent.
