The scene is a bunch of old ladies sitting around watching slides of old summer vacations endlessly. Among them are some disgruntled men with varied expressions on their faces. Occasionally one man in particular will let out a remark "Oh this paradise- - this is bliss, let me tell you" and finally another man there asked him "We've been stuck here for three days watching these slides interrupted by an occasional Lawerence Welk record, and I'm so uptight I'm ready to claw my face off. Yet you seem completely as Peace, what's up with you?" The other man replied, "Believe me after being chased around with pitch fork wielding demons endlessly for centuries over smoldering rocks and leaping flames, this is paradise. And the old ladies come around with soft drinks and all the snacks you can eat from time to time. Do you know how many centuries it's been since I have Eaten?"
Ghandi said he would lecture on "The value of goat's milk in the daily diet" once, to desguise the basically political thrust of most of his remarks. As you know we talked about in that other posting the idea of various forms of "Worship" or some would say "Wholeistic Living". One means of doing this is watching what you put into the body, and also knowing what to keep out. You don't want a lot of all those things such as tryglycerides and free radicals and other gunk and schmootz in your system. (Not to go Yiddish on you or anything) A good guide is "Let the cure fit the problem". For instance, if your problem is a problem with the "Soul" so to speak- - if that's how the problem was caused- - you need to look elsewhere other than the physical. I have often spoken of the idea that if a BASIC program doesn't seem to be running right and you seem "stuck" then just "look under the hood to see what is going on". This is true both in the physical and in the metaphysical. Scottie of Star Trek claims he used to be able to tell you a lot about the engine just by the sounds it made and the way the floor boards rumble. Though I suspect this is more of a cry of long haul truckers rather than a Star Trek officer. In the original Saturday draft of this I went on to say that the problem lies often not in the foods we eat but our ability to digest it properly. I got on Dr. Oz's case about eating foods that just sit around in your stomach for hours undigested, and this is not good. Any more than a vitamin or iron or calcium pill does the body any good found days later in a medical X ray of your GI tract. I spook of all of the gunk and "shmootz" in your digestive system, that only develops toxins in the body. And I then spoke of the idea of it's not just what you put into the body but what you should leave out. And I would maintain the same is true for your Soul. The only thing is we can't put our souls under a flouroscope to look at it. This is why I said in the last posting of Saturday morning "If you don't trust me and think that I am peddeling a bogus product, it's prudent to go with Logic alone. Because logic will take you a long way by itself. This is why I am passionate in defending Atheists more than I am in defending Church people. Yesterday on KTLK they had the "37 strawberries" thing and then the product with the six digestive enzymes after that- - running from eight to nine PDT. I spoke of my own life and how I don't have a problem digesting proteins or fats. I don't have "fatty blood" from failure to break down large fat molicules into the vital "fatty acids" our bodies need. But I do have a problem with whole grain and not just any grain but wheat. I do fine with corn. Going Mexican is no problem for me. I'm OK with oats and rice. But wheat is a different story. I told you about the times Bill Gunderson brings over these whole grain muffins. And how I often feel bloated and gassious from that. In the same way that attending Bible Studies makes you feel mentally "bloated" and a little- - whatever. I would rather just see people eat processed foods and pizza and pasta are great even though they are processed. I would guess processed grains would not be so successful if the people didn't want them. And need I say that one reason why pizzas sell so well is that they are very digestable. You can eat a lot without feeling bloated, like you have a hunk of cement in your stomach, or at least I can. On the other hand people eat those macro biotic diets of alphalpha sprouts and other organic greens and seeds or whatever- - and many of them get sick, because although it's the "right food" your body isn't assimilating them the say it's "theoretically" supposed to. When I write something in a blog I want it to be in a form that can be "assimilated" by you. If I can't do that I'm not doing my job. A good school teacher should teach the book in such a way that if he's on chapter seven now- - - his students should be able to teach other students who just arrived chapters one through six without a problem. I would not go so far as to say that "everything should be simple" as Einstein did once. But you should be able to strike a "positive association" within the brain. As I said we learn through four ways. Some by authoritave means alone. Others by visual imigry. Memory people like visual images. Others go by the hard knocks of experiance. Some have said 'Experiance is a hard task master". The other way we learn is by body senses. We have this "sense memory" where we program our bodies to act almost on reflex to - - make coffee in the morning when we are half asleep. Or to respond in a certain way when told to give our name, rank, and cereal number. This is rote. High School bands at football games rely on this all the time- - both in the tunes they play- - and in their own half-time routines- - like "second nature". If logic were "second nature" to more of us and not just Commander Spock, it is my contention this would be a lot better world.
I wasn't going to post at all today first because my internet was down, and secondly in honor of John Lennon's mother. I am reminded that today is the 54th anniversary of the tragic death of Julia Lennon, John Julian Lennon's mother. She was hit by a drunk driver in a car on July 15th 1958. So they played "Julia" and "My Mommy's Dead" and "Mother" and "Hey Jude" in her honor. In the book SHOUT the next chapter was "Cynthia and Stewart" because these two people came into John's life when he really needed close friends. It's better to offer your services when there is a real need. Mitt Romney can talk all he wants to about how he "really feels for the minorities and unemployed" and the "gut wrenching" unemployment numbers. However where the rubber meets the road he falls down on the job. Now his aid is saying that "You know I think it's a dirty political trick to demand Romney make his income tax records public because they'll only use the material for more political adds". That's right up there with a lawyer asking Mark Fermin in the OJ trial "Did you ever use the word Nigger" and Fermin takes the fifth to every question. What can be done for you when you make a statement like this??? The media as a whole is so hoodwinked that they let the Tea Party frame every qestion they ask. Of course that guy on Meet the Press spoke of "Well I'm concerned about our tax laws favoring relocating off seas". Well so am I. And yet the tea party fights any bill to rewrite the tax laws to discourage relocation to another country. When the President asks you about what you call your Strongest Point- - and you say in response "It's beneath the dignity of the President to raise such an issue" this is silly. David Gregory kept trying to get that guy to answer the question "Does Mitt Romney support the outsourcing that Bane capital did? Does Mitt Romney say it's a bad idea for Olympic Uniforms to be made in China? And the guy refuses to answer. According to the Mc Laughlin group Romney is close to picking Tim Polente for vice president because they are such good friends. So I will defer to Pat's judgement on this one. I had a lot of other notes written down, but I think I've made about all of the points I need to make right now. Yesterday was "moon the train" Saturday, the Second Saturday every July. The first Saturday I remember them doing that was July 14th 1990.
It could be that the reason to push for no physical DVD's in Movies and such is that it cuts down on piracy of movies so the companies like things like Netflix rentals. You can apparently rent any movie you want for $8.95 a month. Unbelievable! Leo Le Port continues to insist not only audio CD's but also DVD's which have only been around since 1998, will become a thing of the past. I certainly hope hot. I don't trust "the cloud" entirely. And people won't even store their Movies that they own on their own hard drives but these, too are in "the cloud". Apparently "Hand Brake" is a company that RIPS DVD's. "Fresh Books" is a business program that makes out its own Invoices, but also can be set to automatically send customers Late on payment notices. Leo likes the I phone for people that have never owned a smart phone before. He says that you can't trust some Android products (even though that is an open system) because they use obsolete programs of Android. But there are two Android phones he likes even better than I phones for the seasoned purchasers. It seems the I Phone keyboard is always in caps even when you are typing in small letters. Also Leo says that Android offers up multiple keyboards to make use of. Apparently Chris Marquardt had the assignment today of shooting photos under the theme of "barbecue grilling".
HELP IS ON THE WAY I think "Pink" contacted me this morning so as to give a sign things would improve and I wasn't forgotten about. It would seem that Pink, like Kurt, prefers to disassociate from his past because that "Isn't him any more". In other words he's gotten past it. John Lennon must have been having some sort of identity crisis in late 1958 having more time on his hands with the Quarrymen no longer together. Now he was back in college but in the late summer of 1958 John was not yet seventeen. But the schools are different in England and they had what you call 'O Levels". Since Lennon majored in Art himself I wonder if there any of HIS paintings in evidence. Just how into Art was John himself? I know they interview a lot of overnight rock stars wondering if they'll be doing what they're doing now- - when they are forty, and many of them say "Well, I'll ride this tide till people discover something Else." I think Lennon himself contacted me this afternoon because I was going comment about "addressing 2nd person remarks in the Feminine gender" and is there some kind of "secret message" conveyed in the song "Instant Karma" and would the Crestorians be offended. John reassured me, "Look, it's just me writing a song. How can THAT possibly be tied in with the crestorians. The song could make reference to the implied existance of another individual. The question is whether I came up with all that "Death" stuff in 1969 myself. There was a whole Comic Strip thing that had been going on for a year and a half- - - and Death had become a predominent note in the past few months. The whole idea behind Cold Turkey (maybe) was that it was to be a parody of an Eric Burden song turned around from a "Film Rose' to a "Film Noier" or "Dark film". So in the song all the good stuff in the original Animals song was turned around 180 degrees to look dark and ugly.
