everything that is human can be related to the 8cb, the question always remains if it really matters..


A quality about me that relates to the hinduism thing? I have travelled and studied in india and have been given the title of a freelance indian sadhu, my username on tribe being related to the name i was given - but I won't really make a big deal of it so i more relate to myself as an urban post-punk psychic poetic terrorist.,. haha.. or nothing at all of course. in fact, i usually don't relate to myself... theres nothing to it!

Actually to tell you the truth i never finished Autobiography of a Yogi, despite buying it and reading it many times. The first time was when we were 16 and starting to take magic mushrooms (having been initiated into lsd at 14). It helped me a lot i guess

Mostly he talks about being in Bliss (C-5) then he talks about the extraordinary psychic powers, or siddhis, of many of the dudes he was with (C6).

The Samadhi thing is basically Circuit 7 and Cicuit 8. Engaging with the unity of all life and the boundless infinite connecitivity tying together all things (C7) and then actually merging with it and being completely absorbed in it to its final source (C8)

There are elements of all the last 4 circuits in the state of Samadhi. You are bliss enfused because of body-mind yoking in asana and pranayama (C5), deeply concentrated in Yogic Dharana (C6) united with element of observation in yogic Dhyana (C7) and more or less in union with the beginning and end of all things (C8)


Reading stories of indian saints such as that in Yogananda's book - I mean they are so fucking far out and intense that one can easily blow their mind with it and create all sorts of fantasy around them - which many people do. Yogananda was a good guy but he was just as easily tranced out in a body-denying bias as most indian gurus. He had moments of really radical and innovative intelligence but a lot of it was very religious and transcendant and what not and the Christians that he met with when he travelled to the US were all to willing to scoop it up. The glamour of guru saint characters sitting there looking all complete and enlightened n'shit - what about if you asked them to play tennis or to come raving? They probably couldn't handle it. Sometimes it doesn't help to fill your mind with those stories of teleporting, levitating saints - though i used to love it. Just increases the 'wow, man' factor - too much absorbtion of information but not enough integration and transmission - fuel for space-cadet status.

I always wanted to know:

RAW counted Ayn Rand and the 'objectivists' amongst the list of morons whose world-view and ontology reflects the falacy of aristotelian logic.. etc etc.

But Christopher Hyatt counted Ayn Rand and her brand of Libertarianism amongst his greatest influences.

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Never read Atlas Shrugged myself.

And early Southpark episode slanders it also

Just saw Public Enemies, with Johnny Depp.

"Whaddya see, whaddya say, whaddya know?"

Dillinger, as portrayed in this movie, exudes intelligence throughout C1-C4; a man of action who took responsibility for his own security, power, sanity, and relation-ships. A true American Hero.
