what do you really need?

  there is truly no reason for worry or fear; there are many for caution and concern.

you only live almost once so make almost the most of it

Be One, in No Time

There is something which feels very important I want to share with you and have resisted publishing, if blogging could be considered so.  So, I have decided, and will do so here. In this writing, the essence of what I want to share is expressed through the stories and language of the Christian faith doctrine. There is every reason for me to say I am a Universalist, and from that, any single faith is not the only way, therefore this narrative could be retold within any doctrine, including those without faith, such as those knowing there is no God, but who possibly believe in the potential of quantum entanglement. Nearly everyone would like to think there is a One to be one with, an Afterlife, a place of infinitely interesting Peace. That's the topic. In this writing I hope to express a thought which came to me when I was 10 or so, dealing with conflict between linear time we live in and the timeless aspect of God, Heaven, the afterlife. This was a Great Paradox, a cognitive di...

What is Life?

upon the horrific death of their son and daughter-in-law --in front of them in their car-- my dear friends are experiencing one of the darkest corners of 'Why?' any human may face.  so what is life? may be better defined as what it is not. and maybe, what we can, or not, control.  To be honest, I'm not counting on anything. Absolutely not. but, just to clarify: The only thing I count on are the things I can control. Which leaves out a lot: Death, life, health, statistics, probability, other people, risk, actuarial tables, maybe everything.  Part of me says I agree but hope springs eternal.  I reply to The Self, "but the greatest of these is love."  The rest are intangibles which are also usually symptoms of light psychosis. (hope, faith, trust, beliefs).   an Optimistic Attitude, however, is quite worthwhile.  so are encouragements from others.  each morning, each  breath,  each  bite,  each  minute of horror,  e...
sometimes we want to help someone else through a problem. that's paradoxical though, for one to solve another. not that it can't be done. that's what really adept counselors can do. and only if one chooses that path. however, fear of the process, and subsequent discoveries, paralyze most into stasis. it froze me for years. it was difficult and liberating simultaneously. indeed. the Great Deceiver, as some call it, does not evolve, nor would this imaginary spirit want us to, either. we are trapped in the ghosts of our past, and way too often or easily. we decide we can't change. that we are flawed at core, therefore setting us up to repeat the behavior that again, leads us to believe we are flawed. forgiving the self is immensely difficult. with equal benefit. It is said that forgiveness is not for the one who is forgiven, but for the one who forgives. When one is both the forgiver and the forgiven, it seems almost impossible. forgiving oneself.  it is, at the core, lo...

medical grace

Toni Corbin of Lebanon Tennessee, whose son, Wallace Peterson, suffered a traumatic brain injury after a motorcycle wreck testified in Nashville.  "If God made this cannabis plant and God made us with this Cannabis receptor in our bodies, maybe God has a plan. Who are we to question and interfere in God's plan?"

it's all coming back to me, anyway

If you think evil, don’t say it. If you say evil, don’t write it, and if you write evil, don’t be surprised. unless you want that.

Key Points, incomplete

keep up.  be strong.  stay calm.  slow to anger.  quick to compassion.  always honest.  sometimes silent.  quickly say thanks.  do your best.  regret nothing.  avoid guilt.  forgive others quickly.  forgive yourself immediately.  fear is useless.  be cautious always.  laugh often.  fear nothing.

Heal Thy Body = Healthy Body

Quantum-entangling God provides both the sustenance and science to be taken into the body.  Then it actually becomes our body. It is another way that we (can choose to) recognize God in side of each of us.  It also says much to you bein' what yer eatin', ie, .  Heal Thy Body = Healthy Body .

the future of digital audio

  it must require: very high speed sampling rates. ultraSampling So high we'll use >100x data rates and storage. this is to have ultra-low latency for tracking and live work. most likely this would not run on a standard computer-based system very well due to driver latency. standalone embedded systems would provide best performance. the systems require end-to-end very high sample rates, from ADC to DAC, in order to achieve very low latencies far below the ability to hear it. simple integral upsampling provides backward compatibility of media assets. current practice zero-latency analog monitoring will remain essential, allowing favored outboard analog inserts, but ultrasampling will add near-analog latency, allowing favored processing in digital. sampling rates required are one to two orders of magnitude greater than present to even begin to approach near-analog latencies, more specifically, below perceptual threshold. many claim 7-10ms being below threshold...

air travel

ever amusing to watch as the plane fitfully fills with passengers carefully hideously fearfully evaluate each new face chest shirt aura spirit demeanor comes down the aisle and their careless willingness to watch people trapped in line by some seasoned traveller who disdainfully brings a huge bag into is seat space and wastes precious 67  seconds trying to force fit under the ancient passenger seated in front of him jostling the elderly who has no idea not a whim of why their seat is jerking and bumping when they haven't even taken off yet then as finally the attendant grimly cheerfully takes the bag and puts it overhead where the oaf should have and the line staggers forward at fractional feet per minute and the person they evaluated as the worst one passes them by not to be seated by them heaving a sigh without moving praising god that wasn't their seatmate a truly horrific blind seated date for 5 hours and 23 minutes except for the headwinds we are ready to ...

you can handle the truth

the truth is: the hyper-rich use politicians as their proxies to get things they want done.  the hyper-rich do not care that the country is deteriorating, that people are out of work, can't get health insurance, or in fact, anything to do with the "general population". they only want more money and more power.  the politicians (mostly the ones who think they are Republicans) enjoy working with these hyper-rich because they see the power as flowing through them, and of course sometimes there are kickbacks. then their very clever wordplay fools middle- and lower- income people into believing their hyperbole.  Bush used his brother's focus-group studies in FL to figure out exactly what words to use to get people to agree with a stated policy (btw, the focus-group person was Rove). It worked. Now, those same tactics get the "right words" which are then are fed to the haters in the media.  Eventually you have very angry "conservative voters" who actuall...

more on the passing

we are such a very small part of this universe, how could further becoming part of it be anything but wonderful? each person who dies, who "leaves the planet", now knows all the secrets we wish we knew, not as their personality, but as their soul, the very essence which was birthed into their little baby form years ago. eventually, that soul-essence will have returned, merged, melded, with the universe from where it was borrowed. how could that not be a wonderful experience? is this maybe what our human minds has conceived as being "heaven", or "with God"? i think so. what an amazing thing to ponder, to know the universe, and all of time. our little minds can not contain this now, we can not believe in something bigger than we are. however, we can believe in the concept of it. timothy leary said "now i'm going on the greatest trip of all". the universe is clearly so wonderful and startlingly amazing, we should easily assume o...

when we slip across

this is in regard to death. remember, we are not humans having a spiritual experience. we are each a Spirit, having a human experience. raised as a Christian, my young mind raced around many questions, including the issue of Time, in regards to my grandparents "waiting for me" in heaven. it didn't make sense to me. the more i thought on it --armed with some knowledge about space-time issues-- at somewhere around the age of 13 i came up with a view which makes many people pause. the premise is simple: here, in this physical reality, we see time as a linear progression and we can't seem to get around it either by heartfelt meditation nor intellectual application. in all the hymns and stories, we are told that "when we've been there ten thousands years... we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun"... which is a very nice way to try to present eternity to 19th-century singers of hymns. and it was that stanza which gave me...

Love is the goal of all other goals

Dr. Bill Shiell said "If you have a normal family, or, even if you have a functional one..." --and I think he completely captured family reality in that eloquence-- it gave me heart and courage to continue embracing my failings, to see the faults in my family, then to un-see them. It may sound cliche, but truly it is Love --impartial compassion-- which can lift us out of our normalcy. It cuts through the little interior soap operas, the despair, the imagination-projection-neuroses. It's the one time zappa was wrong: love does conquer. the beatles were right. all you need (to solve the wrongs, pains, injustices).
no matter what we do, children are definitely their own and make decisions. i teach my son "you make your choices, you'll take your consequences, whether you know it or not", i.e. some people are not even aware of their consequences, nor that those consequences are related to their choices. they just think they're on TV. *that* is the key to making a lesson received not become a lesson lost . if you learn the lesson, don't lose it.
please note that Healthy Body can be rewritten Heal Thy Body

expect a shun

whatever you're expecting, you'll be disappointed. a bit like pre-attachment.
