i had a really odd dream, i lived near her and was part of her social circle and suprisingly fell in love with her, but it was not reciprocated !

from watching  this  i think !

i am not a fan of harry potter at all, just something in her personality to that extent that sort of thing is !

on ebay people seem to pay  too much  too !

the past couple of weeks with wallabies aplenty has led me to eating a lot of testicles

this, especially since i only cook them for ten minutes at 85 celsius has inadvertenly put me on testosterone replacement therapy about which i have some observations !

the biggest problem is developing  “ back pumps ”  (a common side effect amongst weight lifters taking steroids)  which caused back pain and noticable tightness in the gut due to increased production of red blood cells

now i have stopped eating the testicles, or perhaps will cook them more to denature the hormones, the  “ back pumps ”  has gone, but i expect the back pain to remain some weeks, in other words its not a trivial side effect !

stopping the eating of the testicles has given me a massive migraine and now i think of it, the period of eating the testcles was remarkably migraine free, another effect of testosterone replacement therapy !

the rebound migraine really sucks though !

the effects of testosterone  (and other androgen)  therapies  on the blood  should really give anyone pause, perhaps there is a subset of the population it suits, but imo its dangerous !

i have to say this has been one of the weirdest experiences of my life, the high red blood cells are a dangerous condition and to know what the feeling is like when you could be on the road to dying of it gives an unwanted insight

the pain of the rebound migraine was out of this world and stuffing my back as well is not good !

i think why the underlying problem of north korea having nuclear weapons is the intense focus and instability of decision making at the senior level due to the kim personality cult !

basically north korea will have to change its system of government and that of course is being strenuously resisted !

over centralization of power was also behind the fiascos of the german and russian war efforts in world war II, though stalin eventually conceded his ineptitude and let the generals run the war !

basically north korea’s development of potentially effective ballistic nuclear weapons is re-igniting the korean war and you can’t pretend its not happening !

in the context of the titanic’s final hours and parallels with depression, we all know what the iceberg is, but unlike the panicked helmsman, you want to steer away from it and not towards it and thus steered the ship does eventually move from the fatal course !

i have seen so many hell bent on collision with the iceberg, the remedies of exercise, diet, supplements and being  ‘ out in nature ’  they steer away from !

its an odd thing, but i researched the titanic quite obsessively some years ago but had forgotten

there is some very good but obscure info on the web you can glean

an explanation for the ship hitting the very visible iceberg was in the panic the helmsman steered the opposite direction he was told to go because he would have trained on a sailing ship which inverts the steering direction, which may have been a common problems in those days of transition

the ship would have sunk very much more slowly if they had stopped steaming after the  “ contact ” ,  this continuing under steam was bizarre

the actual iceberg was photographed by the chief steward of the SMS prinz adalbert liner with the  red paint marks  on

the ice was unusually far south for that time of year

the wireless operator who worked for  “ marconi ”  neglected to pass the information on about ice in the area from another ship

the captain didn’t think that modern liners could sink

they couldn’t get quality rivets when the ship was built because of supply shortages and made do with what were obviously unsatisfactory rivets

the ship was barely economic because of intense competition and the last throw of the dice by the owner

it was a disaster in more ways than one !

hmm   .   .   it was no wonder archimedes  was killed ,  the romans wanted vengance !

there are two skill levels

the first is identifying a problem and criticizing or avoiding it

the second and higher is to use the disagreement as an impetus to providing the correction

well you know i took hallucinogenic mushrooms and went to the beach where i sat on a pile of sand where a lifeguard stand would be

where i closed my eyes for a while and when i opened them the sky and ocean was showing more color than i had noticed before

well before i opened my eyes i had a vision of what seemed to be a past life of a young asian man like eighteen or nineteen at a buddhist monastery with a lot of young children and teenagers

‘ i ’  was in the courtyard and i was surrounded by thirty or more of these other younger people while i was being cheered on and picked up and i had this big smile on my face and everyone else was happy and smiling too

don’t know what they were cheering about, or if it was just some drug induced imagination thing

your experience with hallucinogenic mushrooms was typical of drug experiences and why they are a waste of time, the brain is too random and the experience is meaningless

the point about reincarnation or reconstructing past lives is that it makes no less sense than anything else about what might have existed when you didn’t exist !

so you have this basic unsolvable problem of what is the meaning of when we don’t exist !

exercise is a basic for depression, taurine and mk-7/k2 help, there’s a lot you can do to get off the titanic !

i was thinking about the  intellectual failure  of isaac newton when it came to philosophical and theological thinking, quite unlike leonardo da vinci btw

newton’s strength was when he interacted with physical reality, prisms, astronomy etc. he developed from interaction with that reality

the problem with philosophy and mysticism is its only self observation which can supply the reality to test against and he just lacked that introspection and hence imagining ancient texts to be some sort of  “ house built on rock ”  was always so far off target that his non scientific writings look absurd today !

i’m using taurine now instead of magnesium taurate

magnesium taurate is 80% taurine and its really the taurine that does the work

i am getting very good results by going to good quality taurine rather than taking magnesium taurate, however the amounts need to be kept quite small, possibly under 150mg or you can develop sleep problems

my basic supplementation is vitamin D, mk-7 (K2), taurine, selenomethione  (plus possibly methylselenocysteine) ,  topical iodine, occasional houston zyme, pep and no fenol enzymes, very occasional folapro

occasional vit E for migraine, but taurine has helped hugely with migraine

selenium supplementation may not be needed in the usa as some areas have quite high selenium in the soils

jason has some thoughts on his experiences watching twitch

i need more deconstruction time and less music listening

is trauma always a positive learning experience ?  do you want to avoid trauma ?

i think i should continue watching the streamers, where i think i’ve gone wrong is getting involved in their discords since there are just so many insane males, and some females, in the servers

there are a lot of these schizophrenic troll assholes on twitch  .  .   these gamers

and as you saw with brittany’s first interviews that we saw where her friend asks if she would like to join his harem and do a threesome, they play characters and can’t really distinguish reality from this

so they say a lot  “ nigger, kill yourself faggot, neck yourself ”  (ed. to brittany)  course they’ll say they’re just joking.  they do a lot of drugs and drink a lot

so idk if i’m being sensitive and fragile or ?  i think charles bukowski knew how to fit in with these kind of people from his going to bars

i just joined a new server for this young woman from england, brittany  ‘ hosted ’  her channel which is how i saw her.  i submitted a video to brittany’s stream the other day and the english girl was laughing , then i went on her stream and i was typing about brittany and other things and she was responding

i said something like  “ eventually all these damaged people will get to you ” ,  and she responded  “ i know, its just part of the job ”

caroline burt, ice poseidon’s ex, has the most toxic trolls in her chat  .  .   she closed it down not too long ago and reopened it.  she was in brittany’s chat one day and i told her brittany’s chat is more relaxed cuz you have to pay to join

well i turned off the music and computer last night and was sitting up in bed when i just started to enter a different space, like i walked into a new room i suppose   .  .   felt like massachusetts when i was getting a lot of contemplative time in

i guess what i’m dealing with is non-autistics ?  the streamers that i follow seem autistic but i’m bad telling who really has autism

i suspect there’s a lot of cat fishing going on too

these people love to doxx and will get you swatted if they don’t like you

like in caroline’s discord server i uploaded my internet download and upload speed and it showed my ip address when i posted a screen shot of it

i’ve shared some photos of myself

and the first interview i had with brittany she and her henchman got me to say a restaurant some blocks away from me, which they did on purpose of course

why do you think i’m getting pwned by brittany ?  well i do have some egotistical issues that brittany has been pointing out to me, and i keep forgetting she’s playing a character

i think with time i will get better at these fencing match interviews and yeah she may react even more strongly than that woman i met in massachusetts

brittany uploaded a new video to youtube  “ brittany venti talks to virgins online on valentine’s ”  well she edited the video to make sure i looked like an even bigger idiot

my  comment

streaming i feel is giving you good life experience, don’t worry about brittanny’s editing of the virgins video, its harmless and telling you about how she operates, making entertainment, her big donors won’t be on that for sure, just remember she needs an income

however from a practical point of view you need to be gaining animal handling and administrative skills at work, its a question of what you put your time to

“ well i turned off the music and computer last night and was sitting up in bed when i just started to enter a different space, like i walked into a new room i suppose  .  .   felt like massachusetts when i was getting a lot of contemplative time in ”

yeah, that’s what it is about

yeah i didn’t take the editing of the video too personally, we had a good conversation

this streamer i’ve been watching has been to kazahkstan nine times, she’s seventeen and is half english half kazahk

sort of reminds me of brittany when she was younger and streaming, so i feel like there’s more hope.  her name is neritesOG  .  .   not as intelligent as brittany but there’s something to her i think besides that she’s pretty and autistic

i pointed out to her that her discord and stream chat are a bit toxic and she agreed

i guess i have to make my own decision if i want to interact with the streamer’s viewers but like i explained they’re so fucked up.  the guys in caroline’s discord will go into voicechat and i talked once.  these people remind me of my ex friend who tried to steal my xbox

fructose is processed in the small intestine, but rate limited, so overflows go into the bloodstream, some of which ends up as fat in the liver or remain in the gut lumen thence to feed  colonic microbiota

so clearly  excessive amounts  of fructose at one time are a problem !

the arguments against plastic surgery are the same as against trans operations and hormones, the induction of health problems and disfigurement risk by disrupting finely tuned dynamical biological systems !

michael jackson’s nose for instance is proof of bone remodelling with different skin and tissue tension coming from his surgery !

plastic surgery is a medical procedure and like all medical procedures the known problems and risks can be offset by the repair of a major issue like burns and stretched skin

trans have high rates of schziophrenia and suicide !

dr. richard carrier in his disproof of the historical existence of jesus goes through what is required to prove the historical non-existence of a religious founder  (buddha in this case)

its not a minor effort, i would suggest you start there !

it requires quite a bit of historical research

i was brought up nominally christian, it took me years of work to understand jesus was a fiction because its so against the grain of cultural assumptions, i can’t spare you the work to sort it out yourself, have fun !

basically you need to look at the archaeological evidence, historical evidence and the degree to which the stories are memetic and can be traced to other religious or general literature of the time and non conformity to ordinary and historical reality !

for instance, every religious figure has a lot of hagiographical memes about their lives, but that doesn't invalidate their historicity, but if the entire life is memetic then that does !

in terms of buddha, there is good archaeological evidence that buddhism originally had no founding figure and memetically the family life comes from persian royalty !

the name gautama is taken from the murdered  (by darius I)  persian king  “ gaumata ”  who was  “ a man of the people ”

its such a huge amount of work to go through the detail, i don’t have the time or interest really !

one of the big things against the historical buddha is that history is invariably fatal to prophets, execution or death in prison ,  mani  is one of the rare historical prophets, his followers met an even worse end and there’s a later perisan prophet with a similar fate for him and his followers

mani’s  killer ,  from sculpture we know what he looks like which is a total thug !

the powers that be don’t take kindly to a disruption of the cultural belief system putting them on the outer !

though jesus’s crucifixion is memetic, the story does get that right !

interestingly the pharaoh  akhenaten  was essentially the prophet of a religion counter to the entrenched state one, it took him being pharaoh to make it stick while he was alive, but after his death all traces were removed !

sir henry neville being the real author of shakespeare’s works is another culturally ingrained error, very difficult to accept without man-weeks of research !

comment to jason  :  i gotta admit, from what i have seen of brittany venti, she’s a hell of alot of trauma !

zen having historically real  “ teachers ”

versus buddhism with its fictitious founder

i hadn’t really thought of it this way before, but its a huge difference

buddhism has its origin in deceit

but zen is reliant on  “ transmission outside the scriptures ”

why people seem to think zen is the dishonesty of organised religion i don’t know !

it always was the renegade !

donald stoker gives a  good talk  on carl von clausewitz at google

ester ledecka  wins  the women’s super-G by one hundredth of a second, but appears with ski googles on at the following news conference

“ because i wasn’t prepared to be at the ceremony and i don’t have makeup on ”

supercompetent

what the commentator called  “ mistakes ”  could have easily cut her time down !

life is always open ended and without resolution

why do we try to contain it ?

life is always open ended and without resolution

the interesting thing about carl von clausewitz is he was basically a failure as a military man, his one big success in perusading the prussians to abandon the french grande armée and join the russian - german legion was more of a diplomatic coup

but his insights on war were born of defeat and failure which is really the truest base for understanding, the insight that springs from success is limited !

new testament deconstruction

You have heard it said  ‘ An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth ’ 

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you

revenge is a waste of time, punishment not necessarily so

to love your enemies is a form of hari kiri

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ?

worrying can add years to your life when it progresses to productive action !

Can you give an example of something in the ten precepts you consider psychotic ?

ed.  listed below with my rebuttal under each one

Not to kill or encourage others to kill

kill in self defence or war

Not to steal or encourage others to steal

steal if you can get away with it and its a large sum of money or whatever and its not disadvantaging those close to you

Not to engage in licentious acts or encourage others to do so.  A monk is expected to abstain from sexual conduct entirely

monks and monasteries are famous for various perversions, pope benedict was sacked because the vatican under his influence has become too obviously gay  (i’m not saying  “ gay ”  is a perversion, just an example of more going on behind the scenes sexually than the public face, greek orthodox is especially notorious for homosexuality)

Not to use false words and speech, or encourage others to do so

when the secret police are torturing you, you immediately blab on all your friends etc because  “ thou shalt not tell a lie ”

Not to trade or sell alcoholic beverages or encourage others to do so

what’s wrong with selling alcohol, like prohibition wasn’t a complete disaster !

actually i think prohibition has its place with rural aboriginal communities in australia, they just have no genetic protection against addiction !

Not to broadcast the misdeeds or faults of the Buddhist assembly, nor encourage others to do so

this is just pretence, some misdeeds should be held accountable and publicised

Not to praise oneself and speak ill of others, or encourage others to do so

some self promotion is always necessary or the bastards will just walk all over you

Not to be stingy, or encourage others to do so

“ stingy ”  is simply a perspective, living within your means and  “ thrift ”  are other ways of looking at it !

Not to harbor anger or encourage others to be angry

you can’t not harbor anger, but you can be rational about it !

Not to speak ill of the Buddha, the Dharma or the Sangha  (literally  ‘ the Triple Jewel ’ )  or encourage others to do so

the buddha, dharma and sangha are just toxic swill by bullshitters !

happy ?

I disagree

well i got some good writing out of  “ your disagreement ”

there’s a billion million  ‘ rules of life ’  guides out there, if there’s no historical buddha why would you raise the ten precepts up above all the other crazy shit ?

if you read them they are actually more psychotic than just about everything else actually

its like the new testament, if jesus is a fiction  (which he is)  then it just reads as lunatic ravings !

the  link  you gave is most explicit about the context  “ being a disciple of buddha ”

that context is used to validate the ten precepts, once you take away the historical reality of   “ buddha ”’ they become apparent for what they are, just some form of mental illness and that’s easily seen with the hypocrisy of the san francisco zen center, some sort of deranged bastion of promiscuous sex and drug use !

did dogen go to china ?

what i find interesting is that some people read  the title  and take that as overwhelming evidence that eihei dogen never went to china

in fact steven heine, the author of the book says explicitly in it that he thinks dogen did in fact go to china !

new depths of attention deficit on the web !

jason, what works for you is your  blog ,  you need that  “ slow thinking ”  to be effective

ed.  compared to being  “ pwnd ”  in online debate with brittany venti !

what works for you is your blog, you need that  “ slow thinking ”  to be effective

when i first got onto the internet it was way more intelligent because it was new and dominated by   “ first adopters ”  and privacy was not such a concern

the rot started to set in as it became more popular to the point now where it is almost ruled by the dunning-kruger schizophrenics

the other side of the coin  (ed.  the combative nature of the internet)  is something intrinsic to publishing, you can write something that upsets people that you would never say to them in real life

i’m absolutely staggered at the damage the wallabies have done, they have cleaned out the parsley and chomped down on the silverbeet !

i was reading about descartes who sought objections to his ideas and i was thinking, a well handled subreddit is like that !

its when people have no purpose except to missionize unreal and rigid ideas that things go wrong, why people do this i do not know

successful subreddits always attract people who want it to go in a different direction so weasel their way into becoming mods !

i don’t think rules matter, its entirely who the mods are and their ability to communicate and be guided by a common process !

that is, that there is a subtext that arises from this !

the other thing i have found is it is necessary to ban schizophrenic behavior fairly quickly, these people are totally non-negotiable and usually have some missionizing platform

if allowed to persist they mess the whole subreddit and attitudes !

a far better explanation of god, is that god is not perfect, rather than being perfect

j. krishnamurti had life issues as well, but rajneesh is over the top in any terms !

Are you implying that, for example  .  .  .   if the wisest words in human history were uttered by a man, but then this man commits a crime, these words are no longer wise nor useful ?

What if someone stumbles upon those words, ignoring the mentioned crimes ?

its not  “ crimes ”   rather things which show they are away with the fairies !

rajneesh’s 85  rolls royces ,  the bioterrorism plot was of course a very serious crime, his dying on laughing gas   .   .   .

but as you say good writing speaks for itself, this is where we really differ, to me he’s just talking smooth rubbish

he basically ran a sex club as u g krishnamurti pointed out !

what i have learnt over the years that if there’s problems with the life, then there’s problems with what they say !

r|zen has become toxic farce and the mods are clearly using ewk as a stalking horse for whatever aims they have !

There is nothing that is true, and there is nothing that is not true

there is something that is true and something that is not true !

well like an addiction it doesn’t pay to go  “ cold turkey ”  but step out which i am doing, replying as i feel has some point to it, no new OPs or comments and the final step will be complete abstinence which means i can’t read it

like alcohol in the house for an alcoholic, if its there one will imbibe at some point !

i have found this helpful to type out, the early stages of leaving an addiction, regret at so having wasted one’s time is starting to dawn    .    .    .    .

has ewk ingrained pathological lying on r|zen ?

imo he’s basically taught everyone to continually lie pathologically as the standard, i know this because there’s only four or five posters who no longer do it !

its subtle pathological lying, not outright lies but constant distortion, you can’t post to him because he distorts everything you say !

r|zen didn’t used to be like this, moderators, you are to blame  !

r|zen has become a point scoring game and you can’t lose if you always distort what is said to you !

the problem is constant distortion of what is said in a way that is effectively  “ pathological lying ”

jason writes more on what happened at the 2018 ice poseidon NYE party at the sheraton, times square

i was looking at the video on demand from NYE’s again, from when it started streaming

a security guard comes up and says he smells pot, ice says no one is smoking pot and then some people start cracking jokes, brittany says  “ yeah it’s bad for you ! ”  and looks at me, i had been laughing at her jokes until then but i just didn’t respond to that one

later ice says we should give our neighbors $50 to get them to shut up, brittany says yeah and ice asks  “ who has $50 ? ”  brittany looks at me but i don’t say anything

my  reply

what she took was that $50 was a big deal to you and you don’t have the income she needs for a new partner !

the bottom line with brittany is she has health problems, she is barely surviving, she’s happy in her present relationship apart from the poverty, only wealth would pry her into a new relationship

without money you both would be struggling too much in a relationship

two hundred years ago, men could literally not get married until about 30 because they needed that long to gain financial traction, that circle has come around again for some !

men are only a road to children with women   .   .   .   children need huge amounts of care time and financial support !

you have a useful job, you need to work out the health stuff more, you are learning a lot about women from the streaming

things are heading in the right direction, especially if you get the diet and health stuff righter, a relationship now would destroy you

jason  writes

why am i thinking that if i were with brittany she might motivate me to make more money ?

this is one of the problems with the net, its so selective for these people, it distorts your sense of reality !

you can’t correct a million people, or even one !

this is the trouble ,  once you hit the actual streaming audience, like r|zen, it is just endless stupids and idiots with no understanding of anything except how great they themselves are !

i think you are right about tom waits stealing a lot of charles bukowski’s style

entertainers are notorious plagiarists, especially some of the modern female artist like madonna and  lana del rey

but so did bob dylan and he got a nobel prize for it

the world does not reward creativity, only sucks the blood from it, after a while you will get jaundiced with the whole pathetic idiocy and especially the vigour with which the morons defend their stupidity and plagiarism

but then there was the  “ spanish inquisition ”  if you want to know how bad things can get

life is robbery !

I had some experiences that have been explained by the Zen masters in the old texts.  At a certain point, I want guidance on the path.  I tried to look around for living teachers.  They all SUCK !

the reality is that what zen is about is self-taught !

you haven’t had valid experiences so why not play golf, knit or do some other activity that might be useful !

you are captured, like most by an unsuitable cognitive style for this sort of work, have no interest in remedying it and so waste your time

they seem constantly engaged in some imaginary  “ status ”  game ,  like a top game player or something all decided by imaginary points and obfuscation bluff and antagonism are justifiable tactics

why people are so blind to the only benefit being developing your own understanding and this requires personal honesty about one does and does not understand is beyond me

“ Years ago, my great aunt was diagnosed with brain tumors.  Like eighteen of them, some the size of golf balls.  They operated and said she’d have a fair chance at survival

Shortly after surgery, she came into contact with an illegitimate sister, who had a family out West.  She packed up all her things and left, to go live with them, seemingly overnight

My great aunt had been the devoted wife to my uncle for forty years, they had a wonderful and colorful social life, went on multiple vacations a year, and threw the best Christmas parties every year.  They’d never had children, and she doted on the many children in our family.  We all loved her so much

same issue with dogen ,  these  ‘ founders ’  are treated as never changing or refining what they said or even dramatically changing their minds, rather their writings get converted into hagiographical rigid thought systems that are almost entirely a product of the organisation rather than the person of dogen or hakuin who like the rest of us vary with our life and are imperfect !

i had dai kensho when i was quite young, about 6 or seven

i never really fitted into anything the perspective is so different

my intial contact with zen was effectively through the qin female line of zen which the book  “ dream of the red mansions ”  taps into and imo is simply the best zen book around   .   .   there was a lot of contact between the qin aristocracy and nuns effectively in the ch’an tradition and i really think zen died out almost completely after that point   .   .

later i joined the auckland zen society which had weekly sits which i really quite liked because it was between teachers and effectively non denominational, the society later schismed into groups supporting different teachers

my intial experience with these teacherless sits was so good that it was only after extensive involvement travelling visiting zen and other centers that i realised the whole thing was fraud and the teachers schizophrenics clueless about what zen was really about

i had dai kensho again at a zen retreat in nelson new zealand with john loori and you see how these people are all fake, just like r|zen really, idiots with other interests beside sorting out what zen is really about

no-one could understand what had happened to me because they had no such experiences themselves   .   .

so i had this understanding, but couldn’t match it up with anybody i had come across in zen in new zealand, so i visited several centers in the usa and still came up with blank, but fortunately when at the providence zen center  (a great place btw and i found the kwan um people easier to get along with, not the anal retards in japanese zen)  i was leafing through old kwan um magazines and came across a talk by toni packer who had visited there for some sort of as it turned out disputatious dialogue, rather like the old stories, they didn’t like her challenging the way they did things   .   .

anyway i made my way up to the springwater center and was extremely fortunate in that she was living at the center for periods and really it was a revelation to come across some-one else who understood !

of course she had left  (been kicked out of)  the rochester center which is pretty much how it goes, the moronic mass always reacts very badly to anything that shows them up

so it was a huge thing to meet some-one else with an understanding

i also felt george bowman  (at that time still in the kwan um school)  has some sort of understanding but he was always distant  (lol with woman troubles as it turns out)  and i feel there is some shortfall, i don’t know what it is

yeah so to come across toni packer who still is really the only person with that sort of understanding was really settling how things were with the world in relation to this sort of understanding

i do feel some of the current springwater teachers have an understanding of sorts

zen is about something, its multiple transmissions in a lifetime, then you have to integrate it and the zen records are so corrupted or wrong minded that mostly they are no use and that you can’t actually garner anything useful except astonishment at the way idiots worship voynich like it means something   .   .

i have owned more than few message boards and the one golden rule i found, was you had to ban very occasionally because there were some people that clearly were schizophrenic and there’s nothing that derails a message board like mental illness !

the net is just chock a bloc full of mental illness, it is over selective for it !

another important thing is as the owner or mod, publicly discussing with the people concerned the approach of a ban and why you are considering a ban for them so they have an opportunity to change their ways and this is where the mental illness shows, the mentally ill are unable to modify their behavior !

this advice comes from years of hard experience on message boards i am afraid

ownership and moderation is highly skilled and a lot of work which was why i  “ drew my horns in ”  in the end, too much work !

pope benedict xvi was a raving queen, too much so even for the catholic church, which is why he was removed

the real mystical truth is counter to human continuation !

Might as well just off ourselves collectively and let the universe figure the rest out then eh ?

nah, true understanding and completion is exceptional, the rest only exists so that can occur !

the samurai bullshit was always a big problem for japan, nothing very glamorous about their behavior in world war 2 or entering a war so badly led and so sure of defeat !

it still has echoes in the highly toxic yakuza culture !

rationality is ill suited to the schizophrenia of religion !

rationality is ill suited to the schizophrenia of r|zen !

layman pang pang didn’t get enlightened, went bankrupt and his children and wife committed suicide !

the modern perception of zen is actually based on a political construct of the meiji era in japan as part of the disastrous move to  “ ultranationalism ”  finally terminating in the defeat of world war 2 !

monks were permitted  (required)  to marry because celibate monks were too independent and powerful swayers of public opinion !

so the big joke, is this disastrous ultranationalist form of zen coupled with sex maniac non celibate japanese priests is what modern zen is founded on !

joshu sasaki is not given credit for his record breaking continued sexual assault past the age of 100 !

you can’t ride two horses at once, family and sexual relationship is one horse, celibacy is the other, they go to different places and zen including r|zen is chock a block full of pretenders !

zen has really been damaged by sex scandals and i have to say it, the stupidity of the teachers !

all you  (ed. brad warner)  are doing is creating  “ goodwill ”  that is being squandered by these people

isn’t  “ teaching ”  itself an absurdity ?

they don’t have substance problems like the rest of the streaming scene ?

there will be a team as well behind her

basically its the new wave of entertainment, especially with the  “ faux ”  philosophy ,  sorta  “ dada ”

zen in the 1960s to the 1980s was really quite dominant, but now its just a backwater and really apart from brad warner and george bowman, all the teachers are rubbish !

i don’t know what happened !

one odd thing is that recent medical research is showing that  “ physical stillness ”  which zazen is, is actually quite unhealthy, but the people running zen have so little competence, they don’t know how or want to move out of that !

in fact what has killed zen is the transmission system, seems to produce nothing but idiot incompetents, brad warner excepted !

i used to be much more of a  “ fat shamer ”  but i have got more sympathetic understanding the epigenetic programming

personally my epigenetics are such i cannot put on weight if i try !

i’m really up with recent research on the subject

1.  being seriously overweight is partly genetic to do with epigenetic coding and your parents diet in conception and pregnancy and circumstance so its a difficult problem to solve, despite my negativity i do understand !

2.  the flow-on health problems with being seriously overweight are so severe that it is a life threatening disease, its very pro inflammatory with myriad inductions in cancer, cardiovascular health, joint problems etc

once you understand the way it is programmed by epigenetics its scary, you have a difficult problem but it absolutely needs to be solved !

basically the programming has interpreted the world as being one of  “ feast and famine ”  with long periods of starvation and that is what the constitutionally overweight are designed for !

i have actually spoken to joko, very  “ no nonsense ”  and actually rather put upon by people in her life !

she is totally a dai kensho zen master followed by working on that !

she was fan of toni packer so i don’t think she was into the religious side so much

her daughter was predated by maezumi roshi, joko was understandably negative about the hypocrisy and  “ boy’s fuck club ”  zen was at that stage !

fat in the body and fat in the brain

overweight people should not do zazen  they should lose weight  !

you have a massive health issue  (ed. overweight)  and you are not doing anything about it, what does that say ?

full of yourself, but not looking how the world sees you

so ewkian !

yoga never holds poses for anything like the length of time that zazen does

if you inquire you will find that most yoga teachers regard seated meditation as dangerous !

look you are bit fucked in the head, zen shouldn’t be about deflection !

when i travelled around visiting zen centers years ago i noticed that the teachers and senior people never sat in zazen more than five minutes if they could help it so figured there must be problems

its healthy young mans game, i would never do it now at my age, too dangerous !

the glaring deficiency in the german invasion of russia was the lack of a four engined long range bomber which mean the germans were unable to target russian factories in the urals

if they didn’t quickly conquer they were doomed !

well  “ the three pillars of zen ”  has an interesting story behind the scenes, philip kapleau made up the enlightenment stories and wouldn’t share any royalties with yasutani roshi who provided a lot of the material for it

he was a good business man and the aim was clearly to write a popular bestseller, but he wasn't enlightened and unenlightened wannabe’s get sucked into the trap !

the most interesting thing about him imo was his service as a reporter at the ww2 war crimes tribunal !

toni packer who was enlightened was not treated well by the rochester center and was always a bit anti them and kapleau !

the power of a non doctrinal retreat

if you been to zen and catholic retreats where bizarre doctrine has been pushed down your throat, its a  revelation  to do one at springwater which was a breakaway group from philip kapleau’s rochester center and who the late toni packer knew very well !

the rochester center is easily the most wealthy zen center, i saw their books once !

the seventh patriarch put on his rotten tomato proof suit, mounted the rostrum and said  “ to be honest all you people are wasting your time and golf or knitting offers about what you can cope with ”

later he thought, just as well i wore that suit !

the one zen book everyone should read is hakuin’s autobiography because it gives such a real view of zen in the world and its sheer difficulty and  “ against the grainess ”

a zen master is in part con artist, impresario, stooge and door mat

monks in general are disloyal, conniving and a bad lot

parishioners are easily distracted and having to be converted away from pure land

incidentally zen historically has always been outcompeted by pure land

addictions rewire the brain and you can’t fight the brain

from a physiological point of view most substances have to be  “ stepped off ”  as cold turkey is damaging from a health point of view

learning to modulate the dose and being prepared to live in the space of feeling rather crappy is half the battle

stopping addiction is not an all or nothing thing, rather its a learned skill of some complexity   .   .   .

you have to build in a tolerance for relapse so that if you relapse you have the skills to quickly get off again !

the big problem with building the skills to stop the addiction is heavy substance abuse damages the brain to the extent no learning is possible

the problem with ewk is you cannot have a conversation with him because he distorts everything you say to him, this is how he maintains a communication barrier

he literally posts into r|zen in a one way vacuum because of the impossibility of getting feedback to him !

this  seems particularly pointless to me, if only i didn’t do pointless things !

zen is marvellous for addiction

it has helped many well known sex addicts by giving them a plentiful supply of compliant young women and for alcoholics it provides a justifying veneer

for coke and heroin addicts it provides poverty and for psychedelics it provides a puzzle they can pretend to solve

i was just thinking, charles bukowski for all the drinking, fighting, smoking and bad food lived to 74, 18 years older than emily dickinson’s 56

that’s a rather shocking difference for one born only 90 years later

he did have tuberculosis for a year, once he would have died from it, the astounding ninety year advance in medicine is a good part of the difference i think !

yeah people  “ invest ”  in particular theoretical systems whether its religion, philosophy or psychology and like medieval fiefdoms spend all their time trying to take and defend territory

these are the limited intellects that seem unable to grasp the vast expanses that could await them by simply moving on

the very nature of language is communication, so intrinsically its in the public domain

there’s

the view along  the tilt

the whole streaming scene has to do with the instability of drugs and substance abuse, its not very interesting otherwise

ice poseidon was fined $14,000 for getting a permit for one location, but changing the location for his recent  attempted party  in los angeles  (26th jan 2018)

plus losing $4000 for the cost of the party

he’s getting very well known now and since he live streams he’s going to find it more difficult to get away with what he has been getting away with

if there’s no trouble, women make it

i think they like the instability, gives them more  “ purchase ”  on men

if there’s no trouble, women make it

i tend to listen to music in its context ,  learning something about the composer or singer or whatever and let the whole process propel me forward rather than get caught in its role as a life deadening anesthetic

you see lots of things  .  .  .

“ when we went to the second apartment after ice poseidon’s party her boyfriend wanted to order pot like i said, he started listing off ten different names of the strains that we could order and i said  ‘ i probably know one of those names ’  and brittany says  ‘ me too  .  . ’   ”

everything is consumer

one negative against brittany is she is anti-creative, effectively dissing your poem, you are a creative artist with your blog and my writing you up, so many of the moronic mass will just diss you

i feel she’s a bit of a bitch actually and has lines of resistance to the wider world of art and literature

meta :  public domain meanings versus private

i think since r|zen is a public message board, that arguments have to stick to public domain currency otherwise you can just redefine everything to suit yourself !

an example is ewk redefining eihei dogen to be  “ not zen ”  whereas in terms of the public domain he is a pre-eminent zen master

he can’t lose because he has created his own private definition !

similarly huang po is considered a zen master but imo he is not fully enlightened, i’m not taking the heft huang po has out of the public domain

ewk keeps telling me i am mentally ill, again his own private definition as in real life there’s no such suggestion

i suggest to ewk he sees a therapist and he has various psychiatric conditions, this is an objective fact in the public domain !

people in his offline life will be suggesting he has issues !

i just see this endlessly, everyone is creating their own definitions without any regard to public domain use, and this is where a lack of real life experience of zen really shows because real life zen is the dominant influence on public domain use !

r|zen_private_definitions really !

“ God is faith, faith is believing in something that can’t be proved ”

god is not faith !

“ Show me a god.  You can’t.  There is no supernatural immortal beings ”

i just did !

god is not faith

that’s a definition of god !

ie discovery and working things out !

a monk asked  :  what is the way beyond ?

yunmen replied  :  nine times nine is eighty-one

the chinese have a lot of associations with numbers, there’s a dimension missing in that translation !

philological research is necessary to get an idea of what that might be since you not dealing with the meaning now, but in medieval times

yunmen was quite fond of this expression :  it occurs no less than five times in this text.  professor iriya found that multiplication tables used in the tang dynasty start out with this.  thus it could correspond to some very basic knowledge, something that everybody with minimal education knows.  here it may mean  “ first things first ”  or, more aggressively ,  “ you have not even begun learning to calculate and are already talking of such big numbers ? ”

well it will be like good poetry, that’s one possible layer of meaning, but there will be others we don’t know about and actually will take a lot of philological research to recover and it may not even be possible !

this is what people miss about zen because they only know the records through translations, that really the sayings and dialogues of the ancients are much more like good western poetry, not really graspable because what is said is so dynamic and yet something comes through without any explicit deconstructable understanding

there’s something else there, you can feel the lack !

my reworking

a monk asked yunmen  :  what is this all about

yunmen replied  :  why do you ask !

That is in one of the notes of the book. I assume they made some research at least.

yeah, but they are not going to put a year in sorting out one phrase which is what it might take and even then there's no guarantees

a very old language like chinese can change the remaining of words and phrases every hundred years or so !

its even a problem with japanese !

if you look at shakespeare/ sir henry neville, he's a great user of double entendre which because we are not in his culture completely miss !

this problem with translations is one of the reasons zen is not a scripturally based religion, but a "sort it out for yourself" and "speak from your own experience and observation" which is why it places so much emphasis on meditation retreats !

of course r|zen avoids any solitary contemplation and so created a faux zen out of scripture !

“ do you believe in god ?

i’m looking for someone with experience in the matter ”

what is god ?

‘ belief ’  is a shortcut for a detailed functional understanding

it may be grounded somewhat in the reality, it may not !

you’re a good buddhist, passing off quoting another’s work and making nothing creative yourself !

its a  great story , well worth reading !

as far as i can see with bodhidharma, he liked the good life, which if he came from india and was of royal parentage would figure

indian buddhist clergy of his rank lived as well as royalty as recent excavations of a monastery show its only real equivalent were royal quarters and this is also true of european monasticism

a criticism needs to be valid, if the criticism is valid the the words will flow right

you are just engaged in some sort of defensiveness, but you need to let that go and plough on into uncharted territory and see what comes up !

when i say you are  “ psychotic ”  this is how you’re mentally ill, you don’t wind in enough depth and thought to what you write

you follow me around, you read my  “ digital scribble ”  you even had a subreddit about me

you are just not putting two and two together, you are drawn to what i write, but you won’t listen to what i say !

my poems and writing may appear stupid but on the second or third glance they shouldn’t

i told james i got some good advice yesterday and told him how you said you should look at how women act rather than their breast size

first when i tell him i got some good advice he says  “ it wasn’t from brittany was it ? ”  and then when i told him what you said  “ jason, do you really have to be reminded of that ? ”  he said as a gay man he just didn’t understand

my  comment

well gay men are notorious for poor judgment about attractive young men !

“ you could ism zen no problem ”

i don’t think you can actually, it has a broad range of meanings whereas an  ‘ ism ’  is fairly specific

ewk, what zen master was so entirely without a sense of humor it was pathological ?

an interesting phenomenon is child protegies revitalising classical music and opera !

as its young girls mainly its opened my eyes a bit to how previously they and their parents would not have had social permission to do that !

the bottom line is posting in r|zen helps me think about things !

the problem with the place is the extreme hostility of some and the large amounts of time consumed in defending what i post

but at least the mods let me comment, for instance it didn’t take temicco long to ban me from r|zens !

jason  asks

well how long was eileen single for ?  you don’t have to say but i think it makes a difference

my  reply

i knew eileen when she was in a relationship with the father of her last daughter and they broke up and i didn’t see her for a while

i met her initially though going to a meeting for parents of children with aspergers syndrome as i was interested in autistic spectrum at that point

the problem with brittany and yourself and even her and her current boyfriend is conveyed in the phrase  “ too much autism under one roof ”

its just an endless walk up golgotha !

i wish i could be more optimistic : o(

i’m just old and tired these days, what you do when younger is hard to fathom !

if i hadn’t gone through that trauma i wouldn’t be  “safely celibate ”  today

i think one of the problems with eileen is we didn’t add very well, the relationship wasn’t particularly functional and actually it was mostly to her advantage and i was the one who got wrecked !

brittany is scattered and grasping, she’s not a good choice !

i think if i have learnt one thing about women is to judge them as a person and not by their looks and breast size !

what are they thinking, what are they like, what does their behavior say about them ?

the russians still can’t  get to grips  with what ioseb, a georgian, did to them !

i was at my friend’s apartment in philadelphia and there was a painting portrait of a woman and her son, the painting seemed to be more than fifty years old

jason, this is like a puzzle, what is in this that i am sending  this  to you in the context of your infatuation with brittany

jason  replies

what stick out to me in that performance was the children on stage and close around, the purple dress, and the depressive quality to the song ?  maybe i’m bringing that over because i know brittany is depressed

my   reply

its the dream women are chasing on the backs of those unseen there, men the beasts of burden

when a crocodile tries to eat you, its behavior is not random but has  an evolutionarily  directed purpose !

i had a bit of a think and fundamentally my view is if you are going to form rigid opinions about a subject that matters to you, but have no real life experience of, then you are insane !

anything can be argued, but its constrained by the real life implementation !

i think music can be used like an anesthetic to shut out what needs looking at, passing life without observing it !

its insane to formulate views of something without real life expereince of it !

a hunagpo quote

such a method is not to be compared with suddenly eliminating conceptual thought, which is the fundamental dharma

he’s a proponent of sudden enlightenment or transmission outside the scriptures which is not a buddhist thing at all

since zen is fundamentally  “ a transmission outside the scriptures ”  i don’t think you can say its buddhist

the masters supposedly have this transmission

there’s nothing in buddhism that’s a reasonable guide to this transmission whereas some of the zen records are !

What is the essence of zen ?

If you only had like 4 paragraphs to describe it what would you say ?

what’s unique about zen is it is a celibate mystical tradition where its not a state vehicle of social control

that is, it can be relatively straightforward and doesn’t have to couch everything in some ruling dogma

its weakness is the huge amount of voynich that the obscurity of the subject matter allows
