I'm hoping more folks will read it, posted early; (uh, and that he doesn't mind me swiping his stuff):<BR/><BR/>"The whole "Inte"-grating crew with their multiple 'truths' each being valid - valid by what? True by what? Which separate 'truth' are they operating under, and why does it have any integration with the other 'truths'? All the separate 'truths' are being referenced as somehow contained within... what? If they were indeed separate, they would be separate and inaccessible and incoherent to other 'truths'... as I've said before, they use words as flat images, window dressing, mannequins in their meaningless displays, useful only for making 'statements' and assertions.

"<BR/><BR/>Syncoonicity strikes again! Just yesterday I decided to see what all this fuss was over Sri Aurobindo so I found Love and Death. Before I had a chance to read it, I was stricken by a migraine of severe proportions. The kind that makes you wish for either sleep or death, whichever comes first! Thank God sleep came first a mere 12 hours later. Gotta kvetch a little, but it does really make you appreciate being healthy or close to it.<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, woke up around midnite and went back to computer. I am going to admit right here and now that I am not a huge fan of poetry, more my problem than the poems! Well, was I wrong! First the TV becomes obsolete, now I like poems, what the heck is happening here?! Love and Death was so amazing and real that I cried and then made myself stop so my headache wouldn't come back. Having experienced enough of a life to realize that happiness and love cannot exist without pain and death was once again imprinted in my soul after reading this poem. Letting myself feel both extremes of the emotional spectrum lately has been interesting because I would try to deny the painful side when I was younger. Not that I'm old and wise now, just not so stupid and naive which is always a plus.<BR/><BR/>wv: luhmneh, sure is enlightening!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04969685296436358865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-65882367261030898762007-03-17T08:27:00.000-07:002007-03-17T08:27:00.000-07:00O.K.

So, I began to identify prime numbers. Don't ask me why, I've never done it before.<BR/><BR/>While counting them I must confess my tired mind grew lazy and began to look for a pattern, a foothold, a something to make it easier. Interval patterns. Hmmmm...<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I fell asleep, too.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the next morning I was bumping around the Internet and clicked a link to a story about some math prodigy, a young Australian man who had just won a half-million dollar prize for his work toward discovering an interval pattern for determining prime numbers on an infinite scale. It's apparently important for compressing image information.<BR/><BR/>You gotta know how surreal it all felt. I could care less about prime numbers, and have no idea why they came to me as a sleep-inducing aid. Or why I immediately "got" their importance in compressing information for images, and why the Cosmos is so vast, and, almost, almost thought I should play the Wednesday lottery just to be sure!<BR/><BR/>I'm unsafe, I think.<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>wv: hrliwwnk<BR/>;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-80159796935091590562007-03-17T08:21:00.000-07:002007-03-17T08:21:00.000-07:00Ahhh.

It is a very focused concentration upon a single idea that does the trick.<BR/><BR/>Some people sit and listen to their own breathing, some say a mantra.<BR/><BR/>I like to walk up steep trails in the woods--the exertion gradually kills off all thoughts. Then, when I stop to rest, the gradual slowing of my heartrate and breathing, combined with the peace of the wilderness, tends to produce the desired state.<BR/><BR/>This is a return to Day One. It is very healing for the soul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
