the truth is out there

[click image, video, two and a half hours]

.
I'm still on my hunt for the kernel of space lizardtude and I'll be happy if yer joining me in this thought experiment of not believing or disbelieving, leaving what you already think, the contents of your own mind, out of the hearing of these people. It is a happy thought for me because if you can do that, it opens up yer brain to having ideas again. Makes you able to manifest positive intent, or starts you in that direction. I'm not just doing this to entertain you with space aliens....

This guy is all the way out there... way so all the way out of the box....

Wilcock didn't impress me, but he's fun.

He didn't impress me either, but I'm now listening to a four-hour interview with him... or he's just on camera telling his life story... and it's a very intriguing blend of all kinds of "new age" ideas... and it's helping me figure out how to express Zen stuff without using Zen....

And I found out for certain the other night that the charlatans have corrupted the term "Zen" so badly that we can't use that word anymore.

The real thing can't be called that anymore.

There were just too many turn-offs for me: Wilcock's narcissism, bad-grammar and pseudo scientific B.S. for starters. If he'd had anything real to explain he could have laid it out in minutes, not hours. But I'll grant you, he was more entertaining than Patrick Sweeney, and some of his claims are worth drilling-down into.

Well, yer flunking this weekend's though experiment, Joely, darling... but, yes, there's all kinds of really out there stuff he's talking... as though he's trying to grab Indra's Net and pull it down around all our ears. I'm listening to him primarily for the leads into modes of thought extant, part of my trying to recover from the travesty of Zen I encountered the other night. I'm putting the stuff up here for people's amusement OR their practicing not believing or disbelieving... while I'm looking for kernels of other things in it. I guess I've spent six hours with this guy now, and he is this amazing fountain of every sci-fi movie and tv series and book... and more... ever. He's really amazing as a specimen, quite apart from whether it's wise to heed him or if he's talking about actual reality.... I think he's at least good for shaking off the willies from the horrors of this world and getting a generally positive outlook about possibilities... and people are desperate for that action... aside from whether that's good or bad for them... but it's all reminding me of The Celestine Prophecy, the tidal wave of love and devotion it caused. I kept reminding otherwise perfectly ordinary adults that it was a NOVEL, but this didn't seem to impede them. Maybe this kid is trying to catch that market. Or maybe he's got the general thrust of enlightenment all balled up with the bazillion books full of airy fairy stuff he read and deciding to believe everything instead of nothing. Anyway, he actually does show a marked awareness of the responsibility involved in awakening and so he cannot be all bad.

Anyway, I was going for the entertainment value for anyone who didn't want to bother with the thought experiment... while shaking out my brain and groping around for other jumping off points for the Zen that can't be called Zen anymore....

XOXOXOX

Dear Agent 99 and Friends,

This year has had a crummy start* and I'm in a bad mood.

But I have no real reason to pick a fight with Wilcock.

I'll have to go back and look at the videos with an open mind.

I wish everyone a good new year!

Much love,
joely

*hopefully that's behind me now.

I keep dippily expressing my desire for this year to somehow be better, but I know it can't really be without a miracle.

It occurs to me that 2012 is going to be great whether it's the end of time or this miraculous cosmic shift the UFO people believe in. The worst possible outcome will be that nothing changes in 2012....

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
