Hi,  

I’m one of these random drop-in's the net delivers these days, you won’t know me and i am in tasmania, australia, but i have been intrigued by your videos on the net and deep but simple understanding of shakespeare !

i think i’m open to your insight and way of looking at him because i followed up on sir henry neville being the true author of shakespeare’s works and understanding his life SO opens up an understanding along the ways you think !

just wondering if you had ever come across him as there seems to be an academic conspiracy to blackball brenda  james  (not one of the “boys” so to speak, such as they are !)

it actually takes quite a while to “jump ship” so to speak, i spent a full week researching and as far as i can see it's way the best fit!

well i hope you read this and i would be interested in knowing what your view was, but understand you are busy, tho imo sir henry neville will completely invigorate the public attitude and interest in shakespeare as he is a far more interesting and colourful character and knowledge of him deepens one’s appreciation of the plays !

real hypocrite, had an affair with her zen teacher while married and now preaches against genpo merzel for having affairs

i really dislike her because she has no understanding of what zen is about, but presents herself as knowing, maybe i am projecting my antagonism for barbara rhodes onto her a bit, but i think there is substance to it

there's been a bit of fuss about it all recently on the web

the daughter of the zen teacher she had an affair with was complaining about her

she's actually quite  competent,   just no sense of the insanity of it all, but what can you expect really?

probably iamovereacting, she is tough and self-assured, that self assurance leads to a stupidity in a certain direction, everything looks sane except what you do !

interesting  interview  on child abuse, she is in a disordered semantic pragmatic or articulated space that just gets in a tangle when trying to make sense of things !

i sort of do little trains of thought of imaginary situations

most of my stuff is actually written like that

hallucinating to oneself

if it's not tempered with reality checking it's pyschotic

on

joan

of

her problem

was

she

took

the

voynich

of

st.

catherine

of

alexandria

who

was

really

hypatia

of

alexandria

and

true

to

her

vision

she

met

the

same

fate !

i

take

a

very

pragmatic

view

don't

get

bound

up

in

the

theory

too

much

is

what emerges

from

pragmatic

trying

and

experience !

very

few

good

philosophers

heraclitis

and

schopenhauer

are

good

philosophers

but there's a large rank

of

middling

or

middle

philosophers

amongst

whom

i'd

count

aristotle

and

perhaps

socrates !

what's important is to get some solitude on a daily basis so that one can recollect and get some headspace to be more in touch with god/infinity/buddha nature !

with friends and family it's just a question of being more objective about them (and oneself and one's reactions !)

fundamental

feature

of

democracy

the

might

in

terms

competent

and

there

is !

zen

it's

really

their

property

i

won't

it's

i

owner

and

to

won't

i

am/have

vacated

them

much

trouble !

now

i

think

charles

bukowski

had

dai

kensho

when

he

was

young

because

his

father

beat

him

mercilessly

and

he  (charles)

was

not

actually

a

hard

natured

man

the

thing

about

kensho

it

doesn't

matter

to

anyone

except

yourself

people

are

just

to

think

you

are

mad

are

strong

social

prohibitions

against

anything

that

disrupts

the

fabric

of

reality !

except

death

of

course

a

s

all

the

inheritors

crowd

in

for

their

share/loot !

basically there

is

a

god

or

in

zen

buddhist

terms

but

it's

difficult

to

talk

about

meaningfully

and

i

don't

feel

that

religion

in

general

succeeds

this is really a riveting experience that really there is no possible normal explanation for and eventually totally dissociates you from reality or any belief in normative reality or the purpose of things

there's plenty claiming this, but it needs to happen several times and in childhood at least once otherwise you are never in touch with the dissonance enough

your

life

is

always

disaffected

when i was seven or so it happened spontaneously, but as an old it is (simply?) a reflection of consistent work and that fundamental disillusionment with life which comes partly from a totally dysfunctional life that doesn't/never works out !

people can only get what they can handle is one thing i think and actually that's not much, the real deep experiences have to be glancing or you would be wrecked, but there are gentler modes which can still be pretty rough, one just has to stay there despite always wanting to leave !

when i look at zen teachers like warner and merzel they are too egotistical to have got far and basically that's the problem, the degree of self intelligent abatement is just beyond them

amber and me would be the only non-slashies

doing what we do best which is pretty much nothing

others get distracted in things

well i am always brought back to being self defeated, can't seem to help it

i think ambers like me, the self defeating is always so close you can't ignore it !

you fail as you do it
