This implies that we can artificially induce false memories by adding methyl groups. This would be a good way to test the theory.

Nothing needs to be done!!! See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E8CAWawn2g

I love the acolyte in the background. What's with the sniffles and sweaty head? Bolivian marching powder?

Very cool vid. probably the best 2 minutes Ken's ever done, at least as far as core issue pointers to how to be within the apocalypse.
I can remember the "nothing to do" as long as my period isn't coming and the wind isn't up.
The maintain an attractive presence...I can only manage that with a certain percentage...say 30%, the rest are totally insane and hate my guts.
But if I fast for 90 days and stand on my head for 4 hours a day...I might win the other 60% of crazy mother f*kers also...if I mirror their behavior that is.

Oh Happy New Year

interesting..  havn't seen any wilber in quite a while.  he did manage to go 2 minutes without slipping into his state/stages mantra    
but he didn't really say anything that hasn't been said before, and a long time ago.  i see that his ego is still intact

[Jana]

Modern spirituality is all about ego and double binds, fucked if you do fucked if you don't.
It is meant to drive us insane, so that we give up and go home.
Spirituality is only spirituality when you can't see it me thinks.

The diet of food, experience and vibration we expose ourselves to is a personal choice—all the more reasons to transcend the cultural givens. For if you look at the Western degenerative-stress disease stats, one can clearly see there is something amiss with the accepted conventional reality. One of the last vestiges of the dying paradigm of the culture of fear is the idea of karma as being punitive. This karma slinging is the latest version of monkey shit propagated by those who have not penetrated the matrix (non-initiate). Karma is not about punishment, it is simply the law of cause and effect. The idea that we are punished for sins is a man-made form of social control propagated by patriarchal religions. However, in a culture of original blessing, all happenstance both good and bad provide an equal opportunity for creativity and growth. In this way we propagate the meme of proactive human agency and basic human decency, and recover the sense of innate nobility, which the culture of fear has all but beaten out of us.

hey you're on a roll.

"the last vestiges of the dying paradigm of the culture of fear is the idea of karma as being punitive."

awesome. 


Try this simple technique:
•   Relax the body wherever you are. This can be at work, home or traveling  (though not advised when driving a car).
•   Neutralize your emotional state. Allow yourself to become passive to your environment.
•   Look out to something quite neutral in your environment.
    The sky is a good place.
    A white wall.
    Anything that won’t distract a passive focus.
•   Imagine the space that surrounds you.
•   Imagine that you are that space.
•   Imagine that you are expanding out into the empty space around you.
•   Allow a feeling of expansion to permeate your mind.
•   Allow yourself to become aware that you are aware, but without boundaries.
•   You can close your eyes if you need to, but after awhile you can do this with eyes open.

Yea, the pyramid of inner violence is falling because it is inherently unstable.

If self destruction is not a viable option in coping with intolerable conditions, how do we go about meta-adapting to a dysfunctional cultural milieu. To go forwards we must develop a new operating system beyond that which is “given.” Terrence McKenna says, “Culture is Your Operating System. It is from the position of being outside the cultural operating system that we can begin to ask real questions about what is to be human, what kind of circumstances are we caught in, and what kind of structures if any, can we put in place to assuage the pain and accentuate the glory and the wonder that lies waiting for us in this very narrow sliver of time between the birth canal and the yawning grave…in other words we have to return to first premises. How does one download a new operating system? Well, first you have to clear your disc.”

This clearing of the disc of the fear based self involves a detoxification of the epigenetic processes of memory formation in the neurons. The programming for subordinate (slave) consciousness is laid down through various types of terror and pain-of-deprivation playing on the needs of the lower rungs of Maslow’s triangle. Thus through stress, trauma, sex, greed and fear we remain locked into the patriarchal-antibiogenic matrix. We clear our neurons of this inertial nonconducting dissonance by providing antioxidants to address the free radical overload on our nerves and mitochondria. We have to stop the hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system and spend quality time in alpha, theta and delta wave frequencies. While in sympathetic overdrive our bodies hold onto resources in case of emergency and our chemistry becomes highly inefficient – with cortisol literally eating away at tissues. Through zeroing out in theta brain wave and increasing calming serotonin we allow more complete digestion and assimilation and are able to detoxify taking the stress of the chemical brain—ie: the liver.

In dealing with an obsolete and dysfunctional cultural operating system we have to be willing to "unplug" from the existing one and remain in creative limbo, or quantum space, until informed by new currents of being. Thus the first stage is letting go: We “let go” of the fear-based ego that keeps the pyramidal model intact through moving into our armor, resistance, numbness and pain, to bring breath, Spirit and warmth into the void. This is an art of clearing, detoxing, fasting, resting, waiting, sensing, dreaming and exploring. The second stage is filling up: The more time we remain in bliss and Flow the more we are reprogrammed into a love based operating system.  Ways we can fill up on Spirit include hobbies, art, sex, breathing, trance dance, entheogens, fasting, endurance exercise, travel animals, children, bodywork, water therapy, yoga. Making sure however that these are not undertaken through power status drive or they will simply inflate the fear-based ego rather than liberate us from it.

“Art’s task is to save the soul of mankind. And anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because if the artist - that is self selected - to journey into the other, and if the artist cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.” Terrence McKenna.

[Lawrence]

“Art’s task is to save the soul of mankind. And anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because if the artist - that is self selected - to journey into the other, and if the artist cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.” Terrence McKenna.

… I really like what he has to say with regards to the artist –of which I am one. Some might suggest that he would seem to be placing quite the burden on the simple, would-be artist, and on the surface, such a claim would be hard to dispute. However, if we were to delineate between that of the ‘artist,’ –a potentially very small number- and that of the more numerous ‘craftsman’ –such a burden might then begin to appear just slightly more feasible…
… It has been often repeated, that; “many are called, but few are chosen.” This can be seen as a sort of numerical metaphor, to assist in depicting the very small numbers that our cultures seem to exude, when it comes to a certain ‘calling to arms,’ as it were, when highly critical ‘matters of the heart’ all too often appear, and rear their ugly heads (or should I say ‘hearts?)…
… ‘Many are called’ –it seems- because for one, there are many of us here on planet earth itself, in the first place. And ‘few are chosen’ –it also equally seems- because compared to the actual numbers present –very, very few seem to take up the challenge regarding these very pressing problems we are faced with…

… A craftsman, in any profession, will get the job done -as it were. A master craftsman, will approach the task with a higher degree of skill and expertise even still. An artist however, will immerse him or herself into not only the task at hand, but also into the how’s, the why’s, the purpose, the motivation, the esthetics, and the very meaning itself… An artist ‘becomes’ the project –which does not exclude ‘being’ as well… ‘Few are chosen’ is but a simple, creative, cultural metaphor. ‘Few are chosen’ not only because there just aren’t that many of us around that engage in what Neil Young once metaphorically referred to as ‘deep earth mining’ –‘few are chosen’ because it is still not quite as revered an ‘art’ as that of the technological master craftsman, that must naturally seem to precede it…

… And, as is frequently the case with your posts Jana, you quote numerous sources –most of whom you naturally have a strong affinity for- and as a result, all too often I find it quite difficult to distinguish where ‘your’ words of wisdom end, and those whom you admire, begin… I was reading the bulk of your post, thinking you were simply quoting Mckenna, as I began to think; “Wow, no wonder she’s quoting him, he sounds so much like her.” Then –once again- I started thinking; “Wait a minute, maybe this is Jana after all…” Hehe, with Jana, I can never quite be sure…

…Hey Jana, on a more personal note, I just hooked up with a group of would-be philosophers here in the Portland, Oregon area that meet once a week to ‘dialogue’ on some of the more fascinating figures of our times, and I was somewhat taken aback when the gentleman that seems to be the main facilitator of this group let it slip that he was a ‘New Zealander.’ Thomas Martin is his name if that might mean anything to you… Naturally I immediately thought of you… This by itself might not mean too much, however just a few months ago, at work, my immediate supervisor was replaced by an individual –an American I might add- whom I soon found out grew up in the very same town, and in the very same neighborhood, that I grew up in, although, as I am ten years older than he, we never crossed paths. The more interesting thing however, is that while conversing, he shared with me his deep and ultimate desire to eventually be able to move to New Zealand… Naturally I thought of you… This by itself might not mean too much, however as I was so taken by your inclusion of Terence McKenna’s words, I found your other link in the Dream Diary post to some of his U-Tube videos, and I began watching… Since I found this guy to be such a kindred spirit, I decided to google and see what more I could find out about him… You cannot imagine how many modern philosophers I have fallen in affinity with, only to find out they have left this earthly existence many years prior… This by itself might not mean too much, but I did find myself more than a little intrigued when I discovered the day that he died in the year 2000, and that day was on April 3rd… April 3rd is my birthday… all this by itself might not mean much, but with these two recent references to New Zealand and this other connection to my birthday –thru your own introduction to Terence McKenna- I have more than enough knowledge and experience with the quantum nature of synchronicity to know better than to keep such magical, mystical, poetry to myself…
… I’d be curious to see if there might be any reciprocal synchronicity coming your way as well, or if this is simply a metaphorical ‘one way transmission’ on my part…

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond
measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves,
who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented, and fabulous? Actually,
who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve
the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within
us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~Marianne Williamson

There is a fearsome greatness within each of us, with which we are afraid to connect. This fearsome greatness is known as God. So how can we connect to our inner greatness in order that we can reach self-actualization and enlightenment?

The function of religion should be to help us make just this connection.

…if you don't feel it and get pissed off about it, you won't change. It's a choice. You can choose to be mediocre. You can choose to be depressed, fat, poor or dumb. You can choose to be exceptional. You can choose to be happy, fit, wealthy or intelligent. Now some of you may have said, "Well, I wasn't born into a good environment," or, "Only some people can be great," or whatever other excuse you tell yourself to sleep at night. But what do you say about all those people that had more than enough reason to not be successful but stepped up anyways; the Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Oprahs of the world. The difference between you and them is that they discovered the choice to cast away their security blankets and stepped up ~ Stephanie Ramones

The obstacle is really the socialized thoughtforms that make up most people’s version of consensus trance. These thoughtforms employ fear and other emotions and thereby hold an unconscious sway over people, effectively preventing the limiting beliefs and perspectives from being challenged. The clearing of the disc of the fear based self may well involve the detoxification of the epigenetic processes of memory formation in the neurons. I was going to say "jettison everything you've been taught to believe" but that may be just the process to which you refer.

You are potentially a genius. Maybe not in the same way that
Einstein and Beethoven were, but still: You possess some exceptional
capacity that is absolutely unique. You're a masterpiece unlike any other
that has ever lived in the history of the world.
 
Furthermore, the precise instructions you need to ripen into your genius
have always been with you, even from the time before you were born. In
the words of psychologist James Hillman, you have a SOUL'S CODE.
 
You might also call it the special mission you came to Earth to carry out;
the divine blueprint that contains the open secret of how to be perfectly,
unpredictably yourself; the master plan that is your heart's deepest
desire.
 
Would you like help in deciphering it? The Divine Intelligence Formerly
Known as God is always on call, ready to help. It's your birthright to ask
Her a specific question every day about what you need to do next to
express your soul's code; it's also your birthright to receive a response.
 
The divine revelation may not be as unambiguous as a little voice in your
head. It might appear in the form of a TV commercial, an odd dream, or
an encounter with a stranger. It could be demanding and difficult,
delivering information you'd rather not have to deal with.
Or it might show up as a clear and simple feeling of knowing exactly what
to do, and it could be easy and fun.
 
"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated
through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time,
this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any
other medium. It will be lost. The world will not have it.
 
"It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it
is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep
it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open." - Martha Graham,
quoted by Agnes de Mille, *Dance to the Piper and Promenade Home*

~ Brezsny

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
~ Julius Caesar Act 4, scene 3, 218–224

www.geetfriends.net/persecution/persecution.htm  —This is what America does with their geniuses.

[Francis]

The scoop on Pantone's engine:
1.  Nothing special about the engine itself.  A plain ol' lawnmower engine
would work fine.
2.  Principle:  Run the engine on fumes rather than injecting liquid gasoline.
Only the fumes ignite anyway.  The evaporation of liquid in a normal engine
merely helps keep valves from overheating, but is wasteful.  So that basic
premise is solid.  The approach does in fact increase mileage.
3.  Preheating the fuel vapors with exhaust heat helps increase the tendency to combust.  No problem.
4.  The jar containing the gasoline where the fumes are drawn off can contain mayonnaise or anything else, matters not.  Those materials are non-volatile and stay in the jar.  The only purpose is to spoof people into thinking that they are being consumed.
5.  All the talk about magnetic effects and other wild extraneous claims are to mask the simplicity.  Such claims must be obscure enough that people not understand them, or the promoter would reduce himself to pedestrian levels and sacrifice people's presumption that they need him in any way to produce the same effect themselves.

Folks, if any of you are geniuses out there and have the technology to make hydrocarbon fuels obsolete...do not get your invention patented...instead simply sell the plans to your inventions online internationally, and spread the word.
Open sourcing is one of the few options left in a culture of multiple layers of corruption.

Because of the tendency for the US Patent office to hold up new energy patents, open sourcing may be the only way to make a collective push towards a new energy economy.

Why was he treated that way if there wasn't anything to his invention?

I don't know all the facts. That's why we have courts; to test the facts. If the court is corrupt, that's another problem. Certainly possible. I don't think the fact that he has been treated badly proves anything.
