sepher g. asks about

Have you ever read Godel, Escher, Bach? If so, what did you think about it?

They have a chapter devoted to Zen and recursion in Koans. I thought it was cool

my reply

recursion is the inevitable collapse into a blurr between meaning and meaninglessness !

hofstadter's book keeps on the side of meaning too much and thus actually misses this way more significant blurr ! : o(

you can see this problem everywhere !

both the links below are a bit aggressive (synergy, super sensitive) and won't let you back to this page via the back button and you have to go back to this page via another way

otherwise they appear safe and have pertinent info !

the major cat allergy protein (Fel d 1) present in cat dander has a synergy with an omnipresent bacterial toxin called with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to activate our immune cells and excite an allergic response which i think can vary considerably in degree !

“ Bacterial toxins are present at low levels everywhere in the environment and do not normally activate the receptor protein, but when compounded with the cat allergen, the receptor protein in the human body becomes super sensitive to the bacterial toxin and triggers the allergic response ”

i suspect many of those with subtle and not so subtle immune problems (asthma, arthritis, osteoarthritis etc) and some of the elderly would be better off without cats : o ()

more than a few years ago now, a friend had a stroke from a blood clot that had developed in stagnant blood pooling in the heart as she had a hole between the pumping chamber walls and despite being barely able to move, had the huge inspiration to take some of the flush type niacin soon afterwards, perhaps 500mg and it may have been instrumental in keeping the damage quite limited

in addition to opening up the capillaries and permitting more blood/oxygen flow, the ability of b3/niacin/nicotinic acid to step up mitochondrial function may have also been very significant !

“ the nicotinic acid normalized signaling activity not just in PPAR, but across an integrated signaling network, and also improved overall cellular respiration - the cells ability to use oxygen ”

this article is not up to your usual standard, several hours research exposes good reasons to doubt shakespeare's authorship and you don't even mention the most likely real author sir henry Neville who is starting to gain (semi-secretly!) some of his rightful currency in the academic circuit !

to brad warner and the endless web/you tube/hard core zen blog commenters idiots you are not enlightened because you are caught up in explaining things when enlightenment is to see that it's not a question of explaining or even not explaining, but the natural recursion of explaining not being able to explain itself : o )

this recursion is the collapse of self and you have to see it to believe it, otherwise you are just caught up in the endless belief of the adequacy of rather dull semantics : o)

i hope that is not an explanation : o)(

zaroffhound replies to ( not addressed to him ! )

synchronicity: invariably a Jungian assumption/interpretation of events that play out that may or may not have meaning on a subjective level to those involved in the circumstance. Error to an objective observer, not error to participator. How does that error have value?

my reply

you are welcome to write rubbish ! pastiching a bunch of words together don't make for coherence !

zaroffhound replies

ah, well judging from your profusion of comments i assumed it was national twaddle day. Aren't you an angry little animal....

my reply

you are so immersed in the fake and the presentation of false appearances that even being called on it doesn't faze you let alone any idea of that sort of shit making some-one else angry : o)(

zaroffhound replies

immersed in the fake....we all are.

presentation of false appearances...its the web, shock!

called on it...you merely made a statement.

any idea making someone angry...idea yes, i also have the idea that you randomly rant about something you dont like..you've even made a video, not very pleasant, about Brad Warner.

Grrrr arrghh. To quote the philosopher Willow Rosenberg 'bored now'.

my reply

willow rosenburg (ed. a character in buffy the vampire slayer : o ( , yeah that's your life, unintelligent fantasy :o)

I see you need the “protective” environment (ed. censored/moderated) of the hard core zen blog to feel safe blathering nonsense looking for approval amongst the retards :o) there

you are not a complete idiot, why not be honest with yourself about the quality of what you are doing : o )( ?

what I have noticed with viruses is their ability to cause very very rapid changes !

indeed, when you have a very rapid development of a health condition/symptoms its cause can only be viral, like wise improvement is from the virus being defeated in the body :o)(

i prepare my own food and have almost no processed sources of sodium like potato chips, canned food, whatever, (except say 600mg sodium/1.56 grams of salt in cheese) so perhaps am in an almost a unique position to know how much salt i take daily, so i measured what i add (to my food on the plate as i don't cook with it!) on my jewellers scale and it's about .2 grams, or 200 milligrams on average !

the total amount would have to include what was naturally in the meat, fruit, vegetables, dairy products and cheeses i eat, i don't know what that is but obviously my salt intake @ 1.76 grams is way lower than the average, a fifth or less, and i have exceptionally good resting blood pressure readings of about 93/63 (up to 120 after a run!) which is low enough that i have to go for a little run first before going into the blood donation center or i may not be able to donate because the reading is below their specification : o)

yeah too healthy to donate :o)

i always seem to live on extremes, i am right on their lower boundaries for weight, blood pressure and now haemoglobin since i seem to do better on lower iron in my diet, so deliberately keep the haemoglobin low which is easy enough after 12 donations and restricting the amount of high iron foods i eat :o)

to would be authors, looking for publishers, if you are paying, it's vanity publishing !

i guess the trap with publishing is even if they pay you, it's not enough or you forgo too much future income in return for a larger amount presently : o(

you may even have to return the advance if sales don't match up/materialize ! : o ()

if you can't do the vast amount of your marketing and sales via the web then you will never make money now because the costs of talks, presentations etc in real life with all the travelling, accomodation and time costs is too high : o()

why is suicide such a fundamental bone rocking event?

gregory wonderwheel writes

I wonder if Zizek could sit still in meditation without the obsessive compulsive ritualized gestures? Perhaps his rejection of Buddhism is his reaction formation due to his inability to meditate and to deal with his own inner psychological conflicts that are manifested in the compulsive gesturing

my

he has tourettes, your ignorance is typical of buddhists I am afraid, eating the lotus of meditation and being ignorant about life :o( !

wonderwheel replies

LOL! You didn't get it.

my reply

nothing to get, you are in a dated paradigm, so is zizek actually, but he is himself the new and of course old eternal paradigm, developmental disorder

your brain is as aged as your beard: o()

( ed. wonderwheel which is his real surname has abig white, not quite zz top type beard )

wonderwheel replies

More laughs. You are a great attack dog. Well done.Wonderful insults. Very creative.

my reply

what's the point of deflecting? you and I are the only audience ! why does Buddhism make for unreality and mental rigidity, I don't know

you are in california, the land of classrooms for medically injured children, your attitudes are part of that and if you think this flakey buddhist shit you espouse cuts any ice, then why not visit one of these hells?

leonard cohen in 1966 , handsome, autistic and not quite straight in his thinking : o ) (

i think anybody really on autistic spectrum is borderline for a number of conditions, it's depressing to see what happens e.g. donna williams :o(

with me, i have mitochondrial insufficiencies and some tendency to possibly over production of haemoglobin in the blood, and maybe the platelets are abit sticky?

oh, if not for the homemade uvb lamp, understanding vitamin D, its congeners and the sun , and copper supplementation, i think i would have joint problems as well :o(

oddly, i think the compendium has given me another 30 years and it's taking some reworking of my life (life reworking!) to adjust to that ! : o ()

my relatives might avoid my web work, but they can't deny how young i look and physically and mentally able i am : o ()

donna willams so strongly rejected my non-medical approach that for years she has banned me from posting on her blog, i suspect she won't let this reply i have just made through either !

ed. she did reply, must have not recognized or has forgotten me, but the way she looks at things is just an unfortunate example of why an overly medical approach DOES NOT WORK !

i have seen anumber of people die now who rejected my “intelligent supplementation”, nutritional and dietary approach ! : o (

“ you are taking 8/2.5 grams of sodium a day and a low sodium diet is recommended for Diabetes Insipidus ”

“ doesn’t sodium itself have a diuretic effect? ”

( ed. she has Diabetes Insipidus )

donna replies

no, as sodium attracts water to the cells in the body sodium generally causes water retention not water loss

my reply

when my salt intake is higher I drink more and urinate more as the body tries to flush the sodium out and maintain a suitable potassium/sodium ratio !

conversely if I eat a lot of veges and fruit (high potassium !) without enough salt I start to get cramps in the arch of my foot, which i take to be a sign of inadequate salt/sodium !

I really would question the amount of salt?/sodium you are eating : o ()

i prepare my own food and have almost no processed sources of sodium like potato chips, canned food, whatever, (except say 600mg sodium/1.56 grams of salt in cheese) so perhaps am in an almost a unique position to know how much salt i take daily, so i measured what i add (to my food on the plate as i don't cook with it!) on my jewellers scale and it's about .2 grams, or 200 milligrams on average !

yeah too healthy to donate :o)

“alwayslookingatself” replied

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Space, the final frontier. I'm still dealing with a lot of unresolved rage/sorrow and jealousy. Being a social misfit, outcast, financial failure is sometimes a tough thing to deal with. isn't it?

my reply

like myself and brad you are on autistic spectrum, autism is the final frontier in reality : o ()

all human life is failure : o(

ditch the clichés and making your own observations will take you further in a useful rather than toxic direction : o)

chilblains are avoided by not re-warming the finger and toe extremities too quick !

the circulation in the hands and feet in response to cold, or concomitant with raynaud's disease, or fibromyalgia, is shut off by a shunting valve arrangement and if you close the valves off so the shunting reduces too quick, the capillary bed gets damaged, white blood cells leak out and attack your own tissue, and that , i am afraid is a chilblain : o ( )

( ed. norton detected a virus on the above link when i visited it on the 17/08/13 )

salmonella seems to do quite well on iron and an adaptive strategy in my view would be to cut out red meat and other high iron foods if you have an infection, it's the proverbial chicken soup time i think : o)

“ excess of luminal iron could select for enteric pathogens at the expense of beneficial commensals in the human gut microflora ”

watch out for iron in supplements and fortified foods like breakfast cereals ! it's not agood thing !

“ a probiotic strain of E. coli reduces salmonella colonization by competing with this pathogen for iron, an essential nutrient that salmonella acquires in the gut in order to replicate at high levels ”

donna williams (author of nobody nowhere ) may be dying , she has embedded an interesting video on the subject of “choosing to die” by terry pratchett

very poor quality of life extended through medicine is a modern horror story

it's something i am keeping a weather eye on for myself, if one can forsee a certain progression.... blindness, senility, severe immobility, gut problems, cardiovascular and heart .......... then it's better to go before you lose control of your situation .......... imo

one doesn't need some service to do it, below freezing with a frail body should be enough .............

better to go out slowly i think as a deliberate process..............

of course this is all abit neat and tidy for what is avery unstable process : o(

for skin precancers/cancers i had been using copper probes with liquid nitrogen, but that may have been the hard way, a good video showing using a cotton swab technique on warts which i figure is pretty much the same thing

the advantages of doing this yourself are avoiding the viralness of a doctors waiting room, immediacy, the ability to work over a week or so and avoiding punch biopsies and their potential to push cancerous cells deeper though this is a double edged sword since you will be lacking information about what the actual state of affairs is

in my early days of using it with karen, and i used a glass thermos for storing it, it blew up like a grenade when i dropped a copper probe in and it broke the glass

i was doing some superfical melanomas on her back, quite big and long , but only minimally raised, though i didn't do them very thoroughly and thought i had wasted my time, but several weeks later when i looked again they were completely gone ! she must have had apoor immune competence against them and it didn't take much to raise their profile to the immune system and get them destroyed

karen died several years ago, possibly from a haemorrhagic stroke in the brain as she was on warfarin (one of the problems of warfarin is the way it causes haemorrhages in the brain

she was nurse, had worked in the uk for a while, but was overenamoured of medical solutions and when she came down with a number of serious conditions including chronic fatigue, (nurses seem to get this sort of thing way disportionately! : o( , she sorta became a proffesional invalid well able to work the doctors to get get what she wanted but this was her doom

she had a bad amalgam filling removal, (all removed) which took about 9 months to recover from, but after that she suddenly became very much better, putting an ad in the paper looking for work and ending up with a stalker

unfortunately, she managed to talk the doctors into an operation for her back (i think), went to hospital and got a staph infection which that particular hospital had a reputation for, had a punch biopsy on the staph which pushed the stap into the blood stream and never really got rid of it again and things went downhill irretrievably

she had some extreme things happen, a boyfriend who was aristocracy and very wealthy in the uk and later when she had become an invalid, a family friend gave her some very valuable jewellery (karen had hardly a cent to her name) which she had valued and was immediately stolen in the next week, almost certainly by the jeweller

the police told her it was between her and the jellewer which i think implies the woman (jeweller) was a fence or something and known to the police and she should talk to the jeweller, but she never did and in hindsight, i should have

what her death taught me was she would never reappear in my life and that's simply what death was, a lack of this reappearance

this study is interesting because it shows the way a genetic stress like smoking may be hormetic in its initial stages

“ in the cells lining the airways of the smokers's lungs, human embryonic stem cell genes had been turned on ”

embryonic stem cells in the context of cancer have the potential to divide uncontrollably, but in the hormetic contex provide some degree of renewal of cells !

i have had some exposure to asbestos and think an exercise sequence i do mevery morning on waking is useful!

i just sit on the end of my bed , move my eyes from side to side, corners and up and down to get the pressures equalized in the eye, then move my head up and down and side to side as there is a study showing that stretching the neck veins reduces plaque in them

then i resonate the nasal passages and cavities and also the earcanal by humming very loudly so i can feel a bit of vibration in these areas, i do this to stimulate the immune system in these areas

then i also hum and sing and make noises that resonate in the lung “ what shall we do with the drunken sailor ” :o) lol

i think this is why chanting is so important in monasteries and religious groups, to get the immune system stimulation from resonating the lung and nasal cavities and possibly even the ear canal !

anyway, you can resonate the lungs from the top to bottom with different noises and sounds !

i really feel my lungs and general immune resistance is much better because of this !

the type of immune excitation that shiitake mushrooms give may also help the lungs : o)

no doubt you will all burst blood vessels when you try this : o ( )

if you are fat/overweight, you bones are going to be weaker and your “good” (HDL) cholesterol is going to be be lower ! : o (

great work mark, you may have even discovered an explanation for earworms :o)

well i sent the study author, mark scott an email

“ you won't know me, but i thought i'd say what a useful and groundbreaking study you have made, hopefully it is even an explanation for “earworms”

Also i think it will be very useful to mepeople who have ever heard “voices” to have an understanding of what is happening at the neural level :o) ”

you're repeating stuff to yourself brad, and because you have repeated it so many times you mistake what you say for being right rather than the delusions of a half nut : o ()

-------------------

brad, the problem is you are inferring a synchronicity between the world as it is and buddha/god/infinity in too direct a way !

the indirect inference is alifetime's work, requires exhaustive attention and is quantum statistical !

Two-thirds were alcohol dependent

25.1 per cent screened positive for psychosis

More than half (57.4 per cent) were drug dependent

Around a third (34.2 per cent) had attempted suicide

More than half (58.9 per cent) had an anxiety disorder

The exception was depression, which was significantly less common among gang members and violent men

eileen's comment

glad u like my poem Lol funny as it's one of the m ost depressive I've ever written/felt

my reply

Andrew, do you recommend any Zen schools in North America? Are there genuine teachers in NA?

Also, what do you think of Rinzai Zen? They use more koan practice rather than Shikantaza, which damages the knees to inflexible people such as myself.

my reply

the only teacher I thought understood of what it was about in sufficient adequacy was toni packer and it is disturbing to see her present situation, some issues with dementia and needing full time care and not having sufficient financial resources

it's depressing !

I really don't recommend the zen scene now, it's changed from when I stayed in centers and travelled 21 to 17 years ago..........

the new generation of teachers is even more stupid and incompetent and there's too many health issues in these places and the diet absolutely sucks now !

pay attention to income and diet and health and if you really are keen on koans, all my writing is a koan and there's plenty more everywhere in literature and life if you look : o)

you question is actually a koan, just an investigation of reality and you may notice you are going in circles : o)(

michael b. foley/mossy mcsharry writes

You're a mystic. Could you do this over and try to communicate your poem and explanation in a more articulate, comprehensive manner?

my reply

i think that's quite clever, you have picked up that the video of the poem and an explanation is only a part of the story, it's many years since i wrote it and had to think back about the double meaning of words and how i just chose one version of the ending “ dreaming seems ” when there was also “ seeming dreams ” , but in those days i was still locked into the “ there is only one version ” thinking : o (

from the pupil, black stream purling, ink is liquid, dreaming seems !

from the pupil, black stream pearl-ing, ink is liquid, seeming dreams

from the pupil, black stream pearl-ing, ink is liquid, dreaming seems

the poem itself is meta to meaning, that is, it is itself about meaning
