Flood was coming. As the water began to rise, a fellow went to his rooftop. A car came by and the driver said, "Hop in and I'll take you to safety." Fellow refused and replied, "God will save me."

Water rose more. A motor boat zoomed up. "Hop in. I'll take you to safety." Fellow replied, "S'okay, God will save me."

Water was up past the eaves. Helicopter hovered. Pilot said, "Get in. I'll take you to safety." Fellow answered, "God will save me." The water rose higher and the fellow drowned.

He got to the Pearly Gates and there was God. He said, "God, I prayed to you all my life; went to worship every week; lived a good life. How could you let me drown like that? Why didn't you help me?"

God replied, "Look. I sent you a car, a boat and a helicopter. What more did you want?"

Joke: (cuz if we can't laugh at the Big Stuff we're probably in the wrong frame of mind to be thinking about Big Stuff)

God's e-mail

One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the rascally behavior that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out. So He called one of His angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time. When he returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth: 95% are misbehaving and 5% are not."

God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion." So He called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time too. When the angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes, the Earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving and 5% are being good." God was not pleased. So God decided to E-mail the 5% that were good because He wanted to encourage them-- give them a little something to help them keep going.

Do you know what that E-mail said? --




























No?


























I didn't get one either.

I always liked this parable:

A Zen guru had just brought home to a young aspirant the realization of himself as identical in essence with the power that supports the universe and which many theologically personify as God. The youth, exalted in the notion of himself as being at one with the Lord and Being of the Universe, walked away in a state of ecstatic and profound self-absorption.

When he had walked through the village and out onto the road beyond it, he saw a great elephant coming in his direction with a driver riding high on its neck. And the young illuminated one, meditating on the proposition 'I am God; All things are God', added the obvious deduction: 'The elephant is also God.'

The elephant came steadily on and the driver shouted at the youth, 'Clear the way! Clear the way, you idiot! Clear the way!' The youth, in his rapture, was thinking still, 'But I am God and that elephant is also God. Should God be afraid of God? Should God get out of the way of God?'

The elephant came steadily on with the driver at its head still shouting at him. The youth, in undistracted meditation, held both to his place on the road and to his transcendental insight, until the elephant, simply reached out with its trunk and swatted the enlightened one off the road as it passed.

Spiritually stunned and physically bruised, the youth landed in a heap in the bushes. Rising, after a few minutes, he returned slowly to his guru to relate his experience and demand an explanation.

'You told me,' he said, 'that I was God. You told me that all things are God. That elephant, then, was God?'

'Yes,' nodded the guru, 'So why didn't you listen to the voice of God, shouting from the elephant's neck, to get out of the way?'

The sort of thing Dewey is experiencing may not be unique, but it might be new to his awareness. If that's the case, I can understand how he might want to discuss it with others, as he says in his opening post. I don't see why anyone should have a problem with his wanting to do that. Discussing things that are new to us is a great way of gaining perspective. That seems like a pretty healthy impulse to me.

I think Nietzche only wrote one book that way--the rest of the time, he wrote things the old fashioned way--with considerably better results--

As for Dewey, you are laboring under the illusion that what you are experiencing is something unique--it isn't, it happens to everyone--

There is a Zen story to the effect that a student begins meditating, and spirits begin to speak through him, he becomes psychic, and he able to transport himself through time and space--he excitedly tells his master, who says, "Don't worry, keep mediating and it will all go away"--

By definition, everyone is in touch with the Universal Mind--Lot's of people have music running through their heads--only a few can manage to write it down, and ever fewer manage to turn it in to something worth listening to--

All depends on your viewpoint. Eternal verities are mere banal cliches to a cynical mind, but a cynical mind is a limited mind. All true spiritual writings are scoffed at by cynical minds, which have neither the goodwill nor the vision to respond to what is being offered in those writings.

Dewey is right: A positive mental attitude is the number one form of wealth and abundance in this world, and it leads to every good thing imaginable. It is the open door, the step forward, the extended hand in friendship and cooperation, the engine of useful accomplishment.

Aloha nui loa Kat:

If he is NOT cincere; give him enough rope to hamg himself.

My brother composed all of his symphonies, concertoes, etc. through a kind of conscious connection to the Cosmic or whatever one wants to call it. He called it writing by Inspired Selection©. His article on it and what he calls MetaMusic© was published in the American Theosophist and reprinted elsewhere, along with several others on the power of music, etc.

Neat!

Sometimes, when I let all of the "little" mind stuff go and open to my higher self, I feel my writing comes through as inspired that way, too.

Amen LH, especially to the last part about riches residing only in material goods. Napolean Hill places money at the END of the list of things that constitute real riches. The greatest riches he defines as the following #1 a Positive Mental Attitude (Note that it heads the list) #2 Sound Physical Health #3 Wisdom with which to understand people. #4 An open mind toward all people on all subjects.

Observe with great benefit that money comes at the end of the list of the things that make men and woman rich!

Good for you, Dewey. I believe you are exactly right about the superconscious mind and it works as you say. It's called the Higher Self in some traditions, and it is what people try to reach through meditative techniques, by quieting the busy personality-mind, which is the mind most people think with most of the time.

And those very same little personality-minds are going to leap gleefully on your every spelling and grammatical error as proof that you're on on Cloud 9 and totally deluded...just wait! :-) The personality-mind is very critical and pedantic in nature, because it is competitive and always seeking some advantage. It plays survival games.

It's also called the "monkey-mind", because it's restless and essentially rather frivolous, and acts like a hyperactive monkey. It loves to argue, loves to pick, loves to debate (not to seek Truth, but merely to win), and has a hard time concentrating on any one thing for very long. It also loves to interrupt, if having a conversation with someone, and it has very little patience (specially in traffic). It's selfish, petty, and vain. It's also a great servant if you can master it through activating the Higher Self. Most people can't. The monkey-mind masters them instead. And it imagines itself to be the lord of all it surveys...yet lives in fear.

Now this superconscious you speak of is a wonderful thing if people can tap into it. It produces wisdom and equality. I have only the most meagre experience in reaching it myself at this point, now and then when writing songs and that sort of creative thing. If you can do it regularly at will that's great.

I'd be interested to know what you're getting in those writings. Consider joining the 'Cat and PMing some of it to me...if you like.

You see, if you're a member then you can PM other members quite easily. PM means "private message".

And thanks for reminding me about Napoleon Hill's book. It's one I've been meaning to take a look at. His title is a good one "Think and Grow Rich", because Abundance is a natural thing, and should come naturally to any person who taps into and makes use of his or her higher mind, just as abundance is found in the World of Nature. It is limited thinking that produces the extreme limitations most people find themselves trapped in.

One would be best to think of the word "rich" not just in terms of money if one wants to grasp the true concept of Abundance.

No more caps, I was just funning and I guess sometimes I like to think that what I have to say is important cso the caps come out, again sorry they offend, they were sincerely meant to emphasize, not to shout. Althoug sometimes I get irritated too.

Yes, I am the same Dewey that discussed Cuba, I play 5-string banjo, and flat-pick guitar as well. I am also the one that discussed money habits and recommended the book "the Richest Man In Babylon" as a means to obtain financial responsibilty. I was also the one who posted the thread about hearing new unique and full musical pieces in my head that have never been composed. (I tried hard then not to come across as boastful and I am trying hard not to come across as such now)

If any of us do have these abilities they are not of our own doings but are a gift from God.

I have played the banjo for people who could not play I lick of anything, yet many times the patterns came to me, I played them first instinctually and understood them later- this is what the super-conscious mind is. It does our bidding for us and can organize thought faster and more furious than we in our own punny little capabilities can do.

I get very anoyed by people who think they are something special becasue of their abilities, those abilities are not theirs: they come from God. I am NOT a bragger but I will comment on any capability I have developed, if I think it may be of use to me, or anyone else in mankind.

I developed this sixth sense (and that is exactly what it is) By Reading a book that I higher recommend anyone read. The Book is entitled "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. Do A search on the net and you will find that he discusses the universal mind. This book is endorsed (and the formula followed and used by U.S. Presdients) Teddy Roosevelt, Henry Ford, Alexander Gram Bell, Andrew Carnigie all recommended the principles in it as essential for achieving any goal beyond the ordinary. The greatest minds in civilization found their greatness by following the formula they endorse in this book.

The Carnegie formula is as follows: all achievement, all creativity has its beginning in an idea. When the priciples of desire, faith, auto suggestion, organized planning specialized knowledge, imagination decision etc are all mastered (and I have been attempting to master these principles for over 7 years) The spiritual and organizational powers of the mind are unfolded and a new sensory powers in the mind is developed (this part of the brain is know as the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex controls this stimulation The stimulation is cuased by organized postive emotions in a spirit of expentancy, This triggers the super-conscious mind, The superconscious will volutarily contact the individual without the individual even trying to make the contact. It will reveal its plains and ideation and explain itself, which is exactly what happened to me about one month ago. I used to hear mucis only, now I hear words and paragraphs and they my breathtakingly stunning sense.

I now can effortly contact this higher mind and it will tell me exact what I need to do to reach a particular objective I am aiming for, it is like a computer it you feed it information, it will not only give you the information, but even a great deal more information that you even had originally bargained for. Carnegie used the mastermind in conjunction with about twelve other individuals to form united states steele, this universal mind thought ands helped all the member tapped into into it in a way that would help the orgnaization reach its goals. It was the most power organized group of minds ever assembled and it guidance and power came not from the individuals but from the mastermind itself.

the mastermind is currently teaching me through my writings how to think after introducing itself to me. It is telling me word for word and paragraph for paragraph how to control my thought implusive and direct them toward an end. Much like a Soap opera I get I paragraph ended and it is like a clifhanger, The last line leads right into the next and is even more deeper and organized and also tells me exactly how it is helping me and what I need to do on my own part to make the experieince and the insights even more vivid.

Anyway that's what's going on and I really don't give a rat rear-end whether anyone believes me or not.

I believe Dewey--he sounds just like Dr. Bronner--only thing is that automatic writing/channelling usually generates more than a page a day--

Madam Blavatsky wrote volumes, with the aid of Hoot Koomi, and Crowley wrote a book in 4 1/2 days(it took me longer than that to read it)--I think that Nietzche wrote "Alzo Sprecht Zarathustra" using automatic writing --check it out here, in both English and German (for Wolfgang--though I'll bet he's read it already) Also Sprecht Zarathustra

One of the first things you learn in graphic art design is that large amounts of copy should never be printed in all caps, and should preferably be in a lower-case serifed font. The serifs help guide the eye along the line of text and produce less strain from the eyes having to search around among the lines to make sure you're still on the same one as you progress from one word to the next (even though you don't feel this happening, it still wears on the eyes after a time). That's why serifed fonts were designed (the Times Roman font, for example, has been fine-tuned over many years to be very readable in large amounts).
The lower case letters also provide a distinct and memorable shape to a word which we recognize and skim over. It all allows us to read more quickly than sounding out all the letters each time. (Capital letters at the beginning of a sentence or proper name help with getting information across in a clearer way too, obviously) Printing in all capital letters defeats these functions and makes it harder to read. That's why newspaper stories and magazine articles and novels and short stories are printed with lower case serifed fonts. They save the non-serifed fonts or all caps for titles or headlines or short captions (or sometimes for emphasis on small numbers of words within the body of the text).

Whatever Internet protocol says about all caps being considered SHOUTING (whether you accept that or not), if you want people to read what you've typed, it's best not to make them work too hard. We've all been conditioned by media overload and television advertising to have the attention span of a chipmunk these days, so why do spammers and other crap-mongers make self-defeating decisions like posting and sending large amounts of copy in all capital letters in the first place? Perhaps they're just really fucking stupid as well as being obnoxious.

Ah! Well, that is interesting. That's if it's the same Dewey, and I'll assume it is.

Dewey has been posting to the Mudcat since March of 2001, and has made posts on music threads as well as BS threads. LH, you had an interesting little discussion with him/her on the subject of Cuba back in July of 2001.
