Well now it’s just getting mean. Hilarious, but mean.

is a reductio ad absurdum mean?  I thought it was just a logic technique.  His argument has the same structure as mine, so if mine is bad, his must be bad. 

Which logic techniques are not mean?  I’m autistic, so I can’t tell what’s appropriate to each situation.

^^^drew you got banned for spamming the guys blog—you posted that radin quote three fucking times! you don’t even address people, you just dump quotes on them.

On Tim’s blog, you were posting utterly irrelevant comments CELEBRATING the fact you got blocked on Science Blogs

I did the search work because I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but damn, man, you act like a child online.

with that said, though, I will never block or ban you here—your right to act like a child here is sacred. feel free to keep insulting me, too.

“37”—the Dean Radin quote that you claim I posted three times wasn’t ME—the COMPUTER posted it three times.  Reposts are a common computer error and I don’t own a computer but I use the computer to LEVERAGE a means for getting out into the community. haha. 

Yeah I joke around a lot—which is actually the norm for most forums these days --- check out the typical http://gnn.tv dialog (half of it is sophmoric attacks).  These types of ad hominems are just the typical “male bonding” that is the norm online and, again, reflects the inability for males to properly transform their repressed sex energy.  To be a “real” male is to create electromagnetic energy which can then be given to those with electrochemical (emotional) blockages.  It’s a process of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system—so it’s IMPERSONAL from the dynamics of complementary opposite harmonics.  A good book on this is WORLD WITHOUT WOMEN by Professor David F. Noble, about the rise of modern science as misogynism.

Sounds like quite an interesting book, I will check that out.  BTW, what’s the best Vadana Shiva book in your opinion?

Monocultures of the Mind is good but maybe her very first book is the best—I’ll get the title while you can read this:

1988, Staying Alive: Women, Ecology and Survival in India, Zed Press, New Delhi

Monsoonthunderstorm—that book looks excellent.  It’s a fascinating issue.  I’ve been watching tons of movies lately and I watched a couple Bollywood movies recently.  I hadn’t seen any in one sitting and I was amazed at how powerful they were—I was actually crying. haha.  That’s an excellent catharsis—and the music really opens up the heart chakra.  I shared this with the d.j. at http://kfai.org for the SANGAM show.

I had given some Tuareg music to my Moroccan friend and asked him to be honest about it.  He played it on his restaurant sound system and he said he didn’t like it.  He then said he doesn’t like music at all!  In fact the cafe makes a point to be completely silent because then students can study better.

I find this to be true—that for reading and focusing the mind you really do want total silence because in effect you are LISTENING to the music of the written words.

I think this true abstract form of religion—like the shofar in Judaism—and not allowing images since it’s idoltry—it’s all about getting to the SOURCE of sound that is pure consciousness.  Whereas in the West it’s the exact opposite—sound is a means to desensitize and numb the mind—with nostalgic sentimentality or warlike marching machine music.

I watched Guy Madden’s really amazing and radical incest-mountain movie, filmed in Winnepeg.  It’s a spoof on early German movies with a campy take on Freudian repression.  The best part of the movie though was his use of sound and he states in the DvD interview that it was because of the solitude of Winnepeg - the white noise of the artic, etc.  In fact I had read recently that the artic culture (or a friend told me about this) relies on LISTENING more than vision because of all the white-outs.  Maybe it was in that Artic Nights book as well. I live this of course—the snow makes everything nice and quiet so it feels like you’re under a blanket.  That’s how Guy Madden describes it as well. Anyway it’s ironic that the far north recreates the equator jungle reliance on listening for perception—it’s the extreme environments.

The Fellini film—Dolce Vita—has a commentary about this—recording natural sounds and then combining it with an innocent comment of a girl:  “Who is the Mother of the Sun?” The men in the film are trying to escape the mind control of civilization and this moment seems to break through—even though I doubt Fellini even understood the real esoteric significance.

Then the one Bollywood movie was about the early revolutionaries against the British and the one Muslim was chastised by his dad for being used by the Hindus.  The son responded that he was for Hindustani—not Hindi.  But I’ve pointed out the paradox about this before—how Gandhi’s promotion of Hindustani was actually based on the visual dominant—phonetic script.  It’s obviously more complicated but people like Steve Pinker and Gregory Bateson attempted to look at the logical paradoxes of “double binds” in language which indirectly have metacommunication.

Qigong actually relies on the source of language directly—the electromagnetic energy—so that the source of language is reached which originally is emotional.  People in the New Age community often assume they can KNOW what they should do—the law of ATTRACTION is the most prominent example.  So a person is supposed to know what they desire and then express it in language—and the whole subconscious body-mind connection is lost.  Perfect for the typical self-help techno-fix (quantum science) gadgetry that is the true message of the Law of Attraction explosion.

Did you give him Tinariwen?

Yeah http://radiok.org international show clued me in.  It didn’t get as much attention as VENUS ON EARTH c.d. by Dengue Fever—which is led by a mind-blowing Cambodian female singer. haha.

Drew, my only criticism to your posts is that when you say all is formless female awareness that’s still a left-brain approach. I don’t get even half the things you write, but the other part always blows my mind.

What’s the deal with “Left brain/right brain?” That distinction is obsolete and distorts the truth.  Both “left brain” and “right brain” functions involve both halves of the brain working together.  Further, when one side is damaged the other side can often pick up the slack.  (yay for slack!).  I’m on my iPhone so no cut and paste but type Lateralization of Brain Function into Wikipedia.

What does “left brain approach” mean to you?  Too logical?  Why is it a criticism?  I certainly understand criticizing this, but not on the basis of being too logical…

The left-brain/right-brain issue has become something of a “reverse” mainstream science myth, meaning that lately it’s become vogue to claim there is no left or right brain specialization which is just the opposite extreme of the original right/left brain claims.  While it’s true that the brain can relearn what previously had been a left or right brain specialization (hold on I have to turn off the music because it’s cutting into my left-brain focus! haha).  OK so I’m back in full-lotus—now what enables the switching from right to left brain dominance is the pineal gland which is connected to the cerebellum.  If we cut the corpus callosum (as used to be done more commonly in psychiatric surgery) then NEITHER the right nor left brain can function properly—

So the real issue is the “synchronization” which is actually a function of TIME not space.  This was originally emphasized by Oxford biologist J.W. Pringle.

For example—the whole “hemi-sync” craze, a tool used by the CIA funded remote viewing.  The time of the resonance “beats” is still measured as a spatial function.  In fact cutting edge science—the quantum chaos sychronization—states that “time breaks down” (Art Winifree’s classic book) as a PHASE-SPACE geometric function.  All of Western science is based on measuring time as a spatial function through “divide and average” logic (be it statistical or logarithmic).  The time “empties out” into a singularity which can not be measured spatially except only by the computer iterations, in an undeterministic manner.  The computers have ALWAYS been in control due to the inherent dualistic closed logic which converts time into a symmetric spatial measurement.

And so the “female formless awareness” is based on complementary opposite harmonics—whereby time can not be measured or even perceived visually but is LISTENED to through pure logical inference.  It’s an experiential process that is internal yet resonates with something beyond spacetime.

Meghna—Sufism is based on left-brain mind yoga with repression of sex energy and the males isolated away from females. So full-lotus, in contrast to just sitting cross-legged, opens up the lower body channels so that the yin electrochemical energy is sucked back into the body as electromagnetic yang energy. If a male is practicing alone then the male focuses his mind on his lower body—and even tilts the head down towards the hands in front of the body—so that the male’s own electromagnetic energy then shoots back into his own electrochemical energy, thereby converting his body-mind to light energy while storing and building up the energy. If the male does not cycle his energy back into himself or cycle the energy from outside back into himself—from transfering it outside of the body—then the energy has to be replaced by food which means that there is again a deconversion back to physical energy without the healing transmutation into the light energy.

Since this process relies on the sexual energy it became repressed as religion—left-brain mind yoga—instead of the conscious sublimation and transformation. This is a point Gurdjieff emphasized and it’s also why tantra has always been the subversive trend of society.
