Zigzag Idiot

i tried to post this song near the front of this thread but the link was no good. Maybe this one will stick.

@DrewNows Thanks I'll check it out sometime this evening. I've thought about this quite a bit. May decide to have some comments about this a bit later. Claudio Naranjo is the Granddaddy of The of Let's trash can the patriarchal era. He left his Automaton behind last year. Claudio Benjamín Naranjo Cohen (24 November 1932 – 12 July 2019) was a Chilean-born psychiatrist of Arabic/Moorish, Spanish and Jewish descent who is considered a pioneer in integrating psychotherapy and the spiritual traditions. He was one of the three successors named by Fritz Perls (founder of Gestalt Therapy),[citation needed] a principal developer of Enneagram of Personality theories and a founder of the Seekers After Truth Institute. He was also an elder statesman of the US[citation needed]and global human potential movement and the spiritual renaissance of the late 20th century.[1] He was the author of various books. from : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudio_Naranjo

The journal keeper here who Perfectly exhibits the characteristics of the Queen of hearts is absolutely right about the degree to which most men these days are absolute pigs. I confess to having a bit of that in me myself but I have just enough of a conscience to cringe when I see it in others or experience a degree of remorse when I catch a mechanical Part of myself that has dipped into that territory a little. You're assessment of Leo is not accurate though. You project. I say that with out a doubt. It’s not a judgement either. I catch myself projecting at times. Everyone does it to some degree. Reaching conclusions is a recipe for becoming emotionally miserable. I know I often sound like a know it all but it’s just a component of my essence type and those who it grates upon can rest assured that I frequently pay a price for it. But it’s worth it When on the rare occasion the arrow hits the bullseye and as a result I’m shown Love for taking a chance and going ahead and putting it out there. Queen of hearts is passionate and in the heat of emotion says- “off with their heads”. The King of hearts is also in you potentially or at times already. King of hearts follows behind and pardons those who are being hauled to the guillotine.

Mechanical personality traits of the counterphobic enneatype 6, which is my enneatype- overcompensating the compulsive need to make qualifying remarks destructiveness rooted in the passion of fear mistrusting authority fighting for the underdog

Im chilled, Laugh and have fun as well brother friend. ??✌️?‍♂️

L Fascinating interview here. I get tickled at Russell Brand's quick wit. Actually this was a little overwhelming. The power of multinational corporations, military industrial corruption complex and the problems that seem to be on the horizon. Somewhat depressing with the picture painted of the powers that be. Jacques Perreti's description of how the Chinese frame problem solving reminded me very much of Gurdjieff's Law of three..Oddly enough the two videos below that I've watched in the last couple of days compliment it in a roundabout way. A lot of information is packed into this one for processing. This jives with the Fourth Way map of human development in that our 2 higher centers, higher emotional center and higher intellectual centers are already fully formed but remain disconnected until the lower centers are integrated and purified. More Rapture, Apocalypse, end of the World stuff. Delores Cannon has replaced David Icke, Drunvalo Malchezedek, and David Wilcock for me in the department of far out Woo Woo material that I'm drawn to. Trickster types and shady people seem to rely on plausible deniability. I can't name it at the moment but Delores Cannon has maybe the opposite of plausible deniabilty that allows her knowledge to rest in the "as if" category of possibly true which is entertainment for me.

Read this back about 2013. I have a great appreciation for the book title. Overall, it's just a so so read. If I can remember the story rightly,,,,The highlight for me was when this guy went off the deep end one weekend and called the suicide hotline only to discover that no one answered. Not only that, it was vacant because as it turned out he was the one who was responsible. He was a part time volunteer for the suicide hotline and had forgotten to have someone cover for him this particular weekend.

"The absence of joy is slow suicide"- Ocke de Boer

He healed some people simply through his presence. Like the mystic Gurdjieff, there are many who dismiss the extraordinary Work of Healer, David Hawkins. In reading Power vs Force, I was hooked. Psychiatrist, Physician, Gifted Healer, Author, and communicator https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/11784.David_R_Hawkins My two favorites,,, re-read many times over

Please pardon me this evening if need be. I have no idea. This fever has left me as unboundried as about any drunk could get. The good thing is, I feel free!

Either way, due respect. It doesn't get anymore real than looking at a corpse. And with that corpse, a story of a life lived and broken hearts left behind.

Folks mean well,,, usually But that's a whole other can of worms,,, ? ❤️?

The News these days,,,, Tailored and custom spun for confusion.,,,,, Transparent manipulation for anyone with common sense to see. Too bad that there is some kind of mid-generational hiccup going on relative to what’s historically been known as ‘common sense.‘ Yes,,, I made the mistake of clicking on one of these “news” links today.,,,, From a “relative” clairvoyant perspective also spiced this evening from a medium fever, infection induced, I might ad in my best Monty Python Affectation ,,, just a mere flesh wound you know,,, well what can I say,,, Psychological T ball methods to re-entrench preprogrammed Neo-Ayn Rand stylized alt-right morons and convincing them of how smart they are in figuring it all out. Yeah,,, you know man,,, them Chinese were halfway behind this whole thing,,,,, you know,,,man Jeez,,,, Cant claim said clairvoyant capacity Is pristine, though. It’s filtered through a dirtied lens in relation to what remains in regard to my emotional purification. But still yet, In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King who at the moment is being played by the Joker. Ahemm,, I need to exit news and politics this evening anyway,,,,for the sake of my unreliable sanity, naiveté, remaining goodwill and innocence.

??‍? ? The World of the Ego by Dr. Jim Rosen ©2020 Dr. Jim Rosen ?? We call it our “identity.” We call it our “personality.” We try to make it into something we consider special, and then we cling to what we have made. As if we can really make ourselves. We fashion these egos of ours, but we do not make the Self. You don’t make your Self and I don’t make mine. Think of the ego as your little self in a little body on a little planet in the middle of a huge ocean of universe. The ego is indeed the little self. It gets its feelings hurt easily. It feels threatened, and then it gets scared and angry and wants to retaliate. It gets in little power struggles. It thinks it needs approval and recognition from other little egos. It’s unsure and insecure, but it tries to act like it knows what it’s doing. And then it wants to blame everyone else for its mistakes. You do not have to rely on that little ego. By its nature, it is unreliable. Do not accept the idea that your ego is you. Do not believe that that is all you are. We are just passing through these bodies, learning and growing from our experiences here on this earth, on our way to our Higher Self. You know what you are really capable of. You know there is a real person inside of you who can love so deeply that the people you love are a part of you. You know that you can see right past their errors and shortcomings, and peer into their hearts. You know the joy this brings to you and to them. You know all this from the moments of really experiencing it. And because you can touch it and experience it for even a moment, you have the proof of who and what you really are.

Another genre of 80's music. Great dancing! Reminds me of how loose half a bottle of Wild Turkey used to make me back in the day. Prince was as talented as much as Jeff Lynne is a harmonic genius.

Same = Same = Same Yogananda - Ra material - Acim Yogananda said the second coming of Christ would be the widespread development/ arrival of Christ Consciousness in humanity. Christ Consciousness The projected consciousness of God immanent in all creation. In Christian scripture, the "only begotten son," the only pure reflection in creation of God the Father; in Hindu scripture, Kutastha Chaitanya or Tat, the universal consciousness, or cosmic intelligence, of Spirit everywhere present in creation. (The terms "Christ Consciousness" and "Christ Intelligence" are synonymous, as also "Cosmic Christ" and "Infinite Christ.") It is the universal consciousness, oneness with God, manifested by Jesus, Krishna, and other avatars. Great saints and yogis know it as the state of samadhi meditation wherein their consciousness has become identified with the divine intelligence in every particle of creation; they feel the entire universe as their own body. -- Read more: http://yogananda.com.au/g/g_christ_consciousness.html#top The Holy Idea which acts as a catalyzer for the transformation of this ego is Holy Love/ Divine Love. This can lead to the Virtue (energy) of Action. According to Ichazo, Divine Love is as he describes “The awareness that though the laws which govern reality are objective, they are not cold, because these cosmic laws inevitably lead to the creation of organic life, and Life itself, like all natural phenomena, fulfills a cosmic purpose. As soon as the mind’s word mechanism is destroyed, love, the natural condition of the mind, appears. Love begins the moment man contemplates the Creation and says, ‘Thank you, God.’ All men feel this somewhat, no animal can feel this at all. Man alone can know that all comes from God.” This odd quote, just above from Ichazo about the when mind's word mechanism being destroyed begins the chapter on Holy Love in my favorite book on the Enneagram. AH Almaas's Facets of Unity. Divine Love is at point nine on the Enneagram. Love is the virtue. Sloth is the passion at point nine. The mind's word mechanism being destroyed sounds like being in a state of inner quiet.

I'm fond of the country music around the early 1980's. Don't really care for a lot of contemporary country music..

You're welcome,,, ? Yeah, I think you could phrase it like that. In a way it's considering what might be beneficial for others with no concern about ones own self image or going down the rabbit hole of worry about what or how others may see oneself.

I've struggled with this myself in different ways. Over time I've come to recognize the significance of what in the Fourth Way is referred to as internal and external consider. I think these concepts can be pondered and worked with and one does not necessarily need to take on understanding the whole of the Fourth Way approach. In these two short videos explanations of inner and external considering at first, one may easily have the experience of ,,, duh,,, no shit. At least, I have had that reaction to these concepts. Over time though, I've come to appreciate the depth and practicality of these notions or phenomena,,,, Added below- When these notions are delivered through a Castaneda perceptual filter; "What distinguishes normal people is that we share a metaphorical dagger; the concerns of our self - reflection. With this dagger, we cut ourselves and bleed; and the job of our chains of self - reflection is to give us the feeling that we are bleeding together, that we are sharing something wonderful; our humanity. But if we were to examine it, we would discover that we are bleeding alone; that we are not sharing anything; that all we are doing is toying with our manageable, unreal, man-made reflection. Sorcerers are no longer in the world of daily affairs, because they are no longer prey to their self - reflection.” Hope what I've shared is beneficial. It's very difficult for some of us to abandon unnecessary self criticism. Good luck!

@modmyth I don't think I ever bought one of their albums. It's just that a lot of their songs were always being played on the radio. Like Duran Duran,,, I don't miss being that age either but sometimes in brief intervals, there are powerful waves of nostalgia that wash over me.

They had a bunch of good songs back in the day,,, I was about 16-17 at the time having a short lived romance with the High school Principals daughter. I think she caught me snorting dope and decided to let me go.

“Unless we know the basic mechanics behind the workings of the ego, we won’t recognize it, and it will trick us into identifying with it again and again. The act of recognizing the ego is one of the ways awakening happens. Arising consciousness makes this recognition possible.” — Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth I just got this quote from Eckhart Tolle off of an Enneagram website. It really contradicts what ACIM says, of which Tolle is an advanced student I would say. My point being that it's a beneficial attribute in being able to sit with contradictory statements and being ok with it. Maybe even making statements where you contradict yourself as an exercise in non identifying. Lately it has struck me again that Eckhart Tolle experience of nearly loosing his marbles and having his spiritual breakthrough happened around the time of his Saturn return 29 1/2 years. Which is the same for everyone. A lot of people experience a major shift in their life around that time.
