Interesting information about the qabalah Thats of interst to some

blanks, most notably scrapping the lineal sequence of the Trumps and the Hebrew
alphabet, as they applied to the Paths on the Otz Hhayim or Tree of Life, in favor of
a geometric one which is for the first time consistent with the verbal descriptions
given in the Sepher Yetzirah, Chapter Six. Further, Gen has here been reassigned to
Chesed; Dui to Netzach; Kun and Neptune to Binah; Yang and Kronos to Kether;
and Yin and Pluto (and Gaia) to Malkuth. The system of assignments to the Decans
of the Signs has been replaced by a system using Planets-in-Signs and Sephirothin-
Worlds. There is not enough space here for further explanation or apologies, but
note the geometry of these on the Xian Tian grid in Dimensions. This geometry
carries into the inherent geometry (or grammar) of all four of these languages. For
example, the Yijing correspondences will exhibit bilaterally symmetrical patterns
when graphed onto the Tree of Life of the Qabalah*. There has, over the centuries
in each of these systems, been a lot of mindless and thoughtless reassignment and
transposition of correspomdences. This amateur tinkering is usually done by one
versed in only one of the systems. The attempted rectification taken up here has not
been undertaken lightly or in haste.
The heart of this system, as it relates to the Yi, lies in the Yi’s Ban Xiang, or
Half-Image dimension, and in the meanings of the Zhen and Hui Gua, as discussed
in the Dimensions. The combining of two symbols into one, which the astrologer
Marc Edmond Jones called Portmanteau Analysis, is a common feature to all four of
these languages. The term Portmanteau, a suitcase with pockets on both sides, was
used by Lewis Carroll’s Humpty Dumpty to describe the blending of two words
into one.
It is important to note in this context that correspondence (ying) means “to
resonate with” and not “is equal to.” It would be more of a loss than a benefit to
equate these four languages. The four systems raise similar issues, deal with parallel
themes, and use nearly interchangeable metaphors, but each has its own unique
identity and history. The common denominator is not some prior Rosetta Stone, or
even Jungian archetypes. It is, ultimately, early humanity’s struggle to understand
resonance: between the mind and the world, and between both of these and Number
(this is discussed in more detail in Xiao Gua). The differences in points of view
between the systems remain significant. One of the ways to appreciate these differences
is by way of an analogy with our own eyes: two differering images are sent to
the brain. It is by way of the differences between the two images that depth is best
perceived, by a brain which integrates the two rather than choosing between them.
This phenomenon is called retinal disparity. In other words, to resolve these differences
“perfectly” would be to flatten the image and texture and lose some of our
dimension of depth.

stressor's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Good News!!!!!

That's funny,when I lived in the hood I used to sing "its a beautiful day in the neighborhood", as I walked passed the early morning heroin addicts,old men would snap their heads at me.BASED ON MY LIFE INCLUDING ESPECIALLY what prudence dictates not to be proud of........WHEN THE STRESSOR"S GO SO DOES certain specific SO CALLED Medical MENTAL SYMPTOM"S(in many cases but not all and USING MARY TODD LINCOLN AS AN EXAMPLE AS SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS !!!!Being well recorded historically,I postulate those afflicted similarly would have a similar result.Here Is the scoop......She got a tidy sum of money in her name and not her son's and moved to the Riviera in old Europe and had merely two symptomatic episodes for the last 12 years or so of her life.My point is when I forget how these stressor's are affecting those around me, or ,I forget out of the myopia of fear and denial how certain situations bring out symptoms.Its hard to be in denial when you have touretz syndrome and your eyeballs and lids start twitching like its doing a stale cha cha.Feeling compelled to say the wrong thing or act out of wack from the proper natural order and make someone else uncomfortable.I used to act out buying mania and did dangerous thing but found an enlightened doctor who showed me how to make most Bi-polar symptoms go away.I am sure that while its hard to measure a person going through major high stress situations(like years of being homeless,going through a complicated divorce {married or partners}),its a great time to hurt someone if that's what you enjoy in life or its a great time to be awake and make allowances for a person with a known Federal registered extra mental symptomoology because the fact is they would have no extra symptomatology, and be far more delightful when the major stessors in their lives are removed.THE BEST PART IS NO MEDICATION WAS NEEDED FOR MARY TODD LINCOLN,WHO HAD IT VERY HARD INDEED.Please note ,I am not suggesting one run from one's troubles.When something is very wrong something is very right while sorrows are joys and problems are always solutions or phantom worries from stinckin' thinkin'."Open the Bombay doors......red light......green light........thoughts away.............".

A favorite Emily Dickenson poem

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag to-day
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory!

As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!

365 Reasons Why I Love You
This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.
Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!

THE BEST PART OF NEW YORK CITY YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO! WRITTEN BY WHALT WHITMAN

.

CITY of orgies, walks and joys,
City whom that I have lived and sung in your midst will one day
make you illustrious,
Not the pageants of you, not your shifting tableaus, your specta-
cles, repay me,
Not the interminable rows of your houses, nor the ships at the
wharves,
Nor the processions in the streets, nor the bright windows with
goods in them,
Nor to converse with learn'd persons, or bear my share in the soiree
or feast;
Not those, but as I pass O Manhattan, your frequent and swift
flash of eyes offering me love,
Offering response to my own—these repay me,
Lovers, continual lovers, only repay me.

more from the last post

C 4 1 thing if I say to my friend "do I look like a person who cares what people think of him?" it only occurs to me if I think about it that this sarcastic remark might be taken as a declaration to be taken seriously.We were told that it was the end of the cali yuga and therefore,on account of the increased speed of events(whatever that means)hypocrisy should be in all individual truths.My friend was tight with the famous Hilda from Dahrma circles and met that Prabadayabadaba dude who used to sit in central park or golden gate park with his harmonium.Although the hari krishna's turned him in to a cult,he told people not to meditate more than 20 minutes a day and expect duplicity and hypocritical seeming things seeming highlighted in spiritual community.A large part of certain very odd circumstances in my life and (this is where I bleed)perhaps and with no certainty ,others,is due to a type of non accidental accident that seems like coincidence on a spiritual level.If I imagine being a well known guitar player I think I would wonder if other guitar players posted on my you tube just to get noticed.I am a very naive person beyond any extent that I am using that statement as an excuse 4 something embarrassing or insulting to someone i initiated,but I would be pissed at that.The amount of odd coincidence in meeting people as regards their relationship to some things and people is not natural.Its uncommon beautiful here and I wish eyeballs c ing this could c it.I doubt a video would demonstrate the experience of satori one gets bwhen walking out the door.There are the mountains the snow and the experience in tactile ways then one becomes a self for a second and thinks "wow I disappeared!Same as being at the beach and watching a perfect and unique brilliant sun set and your friend says "its beautiful" and you say "yes ,and its a pity to say so".I started in on the darma stuff because the best instructor was not afraid to bi-polared out in the middle of a 45 min silent sit cultivating a compassionate heart and run out of the meditation hall to yell at the innocent lawn mower person in a most nasty way.Last night I dream t of an old teacher I studied with in my thirties,Stephen Levine and in the dream we were in a class together and I told him I had a dream about him.I used to believe in finding teachers but I am very against the notion that a human being is not their own teacher and all people and things are always a teacher.Why would the universe make people without the necessary information to learn?Yea but what about the evildoers who cause so much personal harm?I was hoping once upon a time that I would share these questions with others online and i am told i have been looking for icq which seems indecipherable to me.I have no Idea but I can put myself in someone else's shoes to a certain extent and c how a person could be weak and go along with the rest if ignorance of life is the rule. The reason I mention the dream is because,returning to the above comments on the kali yuga and people,I once spoke to a board member of IMS at the suffi center where are vippassanna group met,this board member was filling in for someone and giving us instructions in their stead.I said to him during a break, "man I bet that stephen levine is incredibly verbally mean sometimes", and the instructor said quizzically "why is that", and I said "because anyone who can be that loving compassionate and open in speech must have an equal capacity to speak incisively hateful"."very incite-full" he said.Eyeballs...if you know me you know I do not think it was in itself incite-full to say that.Now that I have lit the candle in more places I see my insecurity and false pride being more of my motivation then.This connects with the hypocrisy in the weave of life idea I mentioned above.I have studied this and it usually goes like this "if you have a number 10 fear of life you have a number 10 fear of life, a number 10 capacity for kindness and forbearance then one has a number 10 level of icy cold hate and a cold heart".I wonder how true this is but it makes sense on some levels.It sure reeks of someone trying to tell someone else "how things are", which bothers a lot of us.These words are here because ultimately we are born alone and die alone(at the absolute point of entry or exit)so if I can be sincere and not thoughtlessly crass then better to walk the road alone on account of my expressions.My grand dad S. Ralph and grandma rose were once going in to a passover dinner at their synagogue and my grand dad was smoking a cigar.His response to my grandma telling him to put the cigar out before going in was "that's alright, they'll make me".Or,similarly and perhaps more relevant here he was fond of saying "show me a person everyone likes and I'll show you an ass".While I revile the first attitude I must admit trying to please people is a fools errand while permeating calm through conscious centered awareness and being a responsive listener and helpful associate,friend or companion is essential in achieving the common human goal of being valued for oneself in relationship with our activities and actions as part of a holistic life with our worlds.I do know that some of us see patterns in things others might not.Perhaps they are seeing something else? I now am sure that other people are seeing their own patterns in a similar way which is dangerous because these patterns can sometimes be very individualistic.Mistakes can occur also due to misidentifying a pattern which was a real experience yet processed through the ever changing personality.Art and reality meet because I just stopped writing and went up to the road and loaded the toboggan with wood patsy/earthma and her son Aaron (seen on one of my video's)just split with this wood splitting machine they have,and slid it back to the house.We work together and that's what makes us good friends.I have been coming here for more than 5 years and I don't think you would say I am helping to curry favor(well maybe a little).It makes me happy to help and their glad to be helped.Silly example but it is exactly the manner of living I am not allowed to do when I stay at my dear friend and companion's house.How can one say they are in a relationship with me if they don't tell their family about me.When asked how long would she live with someone until she would want to know why she was not introduced to their family,she replied that's totally different.Well yes,I was introduced to her family and I was never much for forced family functions anyway but they blame me for her divorce and she thinks it alright 4 me to live in a house owned by a man who wants to call the police if he c'z me!!!!! He correctly wanted me to go away so she could find someone with more money which I often feel was right and I hate to c her hassled while I have to avoid helping so as not to upset the old man.The joy of working together is as important in a serious relationship as sex,although we all know what poor decision making good sex can have on people sometimes.I could write and one day shall,a poem about how wonderful our time has been together on the cool Adam's family third floor we share with her son and nephew.Nothing will change the endearment one feels for someone that is kind but the whole "opposites attract thing wears thin replaced with differences being the commonality putting aside day to day share pleasure.People change and I guess my soul becomes hungry to see itself through its own eyes in another.Oddly this sort of experience can be misconstrued as requiring further commitments or requiring expectations but true love is free.Anyway I can't imagine myself seven days from now much less claim to know something.I think things and want to share them if only with that weird web bot or whatever its called that culls all words written on line and accurately predicts things.(I saw it on national geographic).I am experimenting because It seems to me that I went to far in some regard that is still quite opaque to me and I have been told that if you go to far to turn back its best to adapt and correct what one can and go further.Not as before but as a phoenix might.I hope this makes some sense if I am so honored to have eyeballs here.I appreciate it although I have no idea if their are eyeballs here!It must be very upsetting 4 people in the limelight to c or hear what people who do not know them think.I have always looked under rocks and things but odd coincidence is no excuse for mixing myself up with someone else's private life or throwing it in to the ethos which is crass and leads to making a very bad impression if so misconstrued.Regarding some things I noticed in previous months,I agree one is really being insufferable giving advice or commenting on someones personal life with out being asked.I figure its part of who I am to sometimes get over excited and thus insensitive to the results of my actions on others.I liken it and the many aspects of the personality to a music track that one needs to fade down part of.I make a good scape goat for blame I suppose because I have been told I am fairly transparent and wear my heart on my sleeve.I saw something that was rather odd but none of my business,something like "how about if I tell Katrina".I do not know what this means and I won't dare you to hit me in any event.One has to do what one feels is right but its silly to threaten those weaker than yourself.I am no better than anybody but my habits are different such that remorse forces me to express my remorse to the person.It doesn't take away the hurt 4 them much.I hope to play only my position and hopefully not offend and I hope and pray that if there are people who enjoy causing pain on purpose that they may stop.I do not know if these things ever happened to me while fiddling on line and let the possibility go. with openness and a compassionate heart 4 you ru

eeeeeeeeesh snow and soon going home

Wow! lots of snow and cloudy days.I had forgotten the affect on low pressure on a wood stove which is to push the smoke back down the smoke pipe and smolder the fire after starting it.This is rare however;we all felt a strange ennui supporting the idea that extremes of pressure cause severe changes in mental perception,(perhaps).Once,in the last two weeks, the sun was out until 10:00am and a few moments once or twice.Actually its sot of pale beige/yellowish tinge over grey right now.The birds are busy with the feeders especially the cardinals that amazed the locals when these vicious birds shat on me two days in a row in the middle of the field.This morning the stove was luke warm, which I addressed promptly until it was a good fire and now its nice to be cozy warm in the snow.I am gratified often when I see someone speaking truth to power officially, in our nation.In general I have found that the people who do this are often artists or academics.This includes the art of businesses.Leaving aside what constitutes an artist,my point is,its often musicians who like to explicate their expression in many valid ways, who can be seen and listened to on corporate owned media outlets articulating a more useful,peaceful and universal message.Particularly in programed music,because there are words,the art of song writing becomes very relevant politically,socially,psychologicaly and probably and in my opinion,our spiritual lives.It was through the study of history that led me to the conclusion that the divine speaks through song.Many years ago while listening to Elton John songs(This song) I realized some of his songs could be songs to God.I came to see that great love songs are often that way for some reason.I noticed reality was fully in the weave of popular music and I have two examples.Six months and up to the summer of 2001 one of the top songs spoke of building castles in the sky.An expression of a deep feeling of sadness regarding the inevitability of things or was this song related to coming events somehow? Through December of 1999 a top song on the charts simultaneously with the y2k craze said "push rewind just in time don't tell anybody,were gunna do it again", also "and the worlds a stage and the end is near".So what if the big horror of y2k was that there was no y2k.Bla Bla so I was studying the signs and symbols one finds when fully studying history and discovered a connection between whatever arts were revered and the signs and symbols contained in the art.I realized this often happens to those who allow their subconscious to speak through them.The artist portraying signs and symbols without planning but making divinely natural sense anyway.Some claim subversion in whatever they see in the mass media.My answer to that is as long as people make bigger telescopes the more stuff will seen forever or until the telescope shows the scientist whats contained up her or his butt.Me and jack Ira wrote a short film about scientists that go through this scenario.One of them recognizes the similar pattern between what the astrophysicists see and what the pattern of corn is in their stool after extrusion in the can.The Printing plate on a twenty dollar bill was drawn in the 1920's or something and when asked if the reason when it folds in a certain manner it shows the events of 9/11 was a conspiracy I got so mas I said yes emphatically to the credulous youth.I said that the conspiracy was him and in him and in all of us when we consider the only other possibility is time travel and that ain't the type of question one talks about without sounding or being nuts.We have our freaks credo anyway to wit:There is no place like home ,home is where the heart is and most relevant here "Pay no attention to the (so called)man behind the curtain.For a long time and under no duress I realized the intense experience of the feminine within me.I considered that A female deity might be be better 4 men and also how much I was programmed about sexuality,women and men.I was interested in the culture in the United States of the "undeserved privileged" I had spent five years intensely involved with assortments of awareness and meditation practice.In days of old china people whether future nuns or monks were thrown out of the practice stage of study at 5 years by coincidennce.The same went 4 me so out in to the world I went to practice in all manner of worldly situations most of which I chose because of my deep fear.I lived in many hoods including a crazed trailer park with any accoutrement you could imagine one ought have.I lived on the keys which was pure hood while in key west I rented a room in Bahama village in a very old building formerly a brothel where Hemingway got laid next to a garden now part of a restaurant where he boxed and drank extensively.I recommend Johnson's take out across the street a lot and if you see men sitting along the benches on either side of the street tell Maxie ralph said hello assuming that is still the main cross street in Bahama village.Maxie could well of left the planet but never that spot.I walked around Harlem freaky on several occasions figuring to be the one to do it.I knew this would be the right way to assist the breaking down of barriers.I lived somewhere that has changed a lot but at one time a most notorious block in new york city was hard to find.Accidental 4 me but one night I was lounging in the heat wearing silly daisy dukes when old miss juanita insisted I go to a bank machine 4 her.Locked out of my apartment I prepared to go barefoot and she was vehement that I wear shoes.In this case all I had was cowboy boots which she made me wear.Sometimes I would walk around with a guitar without a case and rocked out.Or going to larks in bed sty from master stylo's party with goo goo zzz then having to subway back to Astoria in punk over the top regalia next day stumbling in my english punk platforms down the Brooklyn street.I always wanted to apologize to that bass player for him not getting his venice tee shirt back which he prized.I can't stand doing that.Segway back through the goo goo zzz with me to the subject of popular musicians speaking truth to power and altering deep symbolic meanings in mass subconscious cultural levels through presentations and musical notes.Here are some examples , Frank Zappa to congress, Madonna on nightline,jerry garcia on major televised interview,recently through interview and presentation, Lady Ga Ga.Rarely are actors encouraged to speak about anything but as a rep 4 their latest film .It is very important to be consistently tactful at any rate regarding social, political or philisophical opinion.By no accident to this subject,in my little world, I have learned this online in a way fitting my disregard of tact or even consideration or other meanings of anything I shared on line with someone else.( perhaps one person or another).Lack of flexibility in knowing I might require more than crass cavalier expressions assuming an attitude that since there is no acknowledgement in my inflexible myopic way of seeing things then it must not be treated as a real individual.All this 4 the worst of reasons namely of the insecure and unexamined kind.I don't believe someone would be that disdainful to me only because they had or had not been lied to about me or manipulated something I did to suit a need to highlight my ineptitudes or weak moments while under stressors.I also can not believe but have seen me do it, that someone would snoop conversation than become angry over it.People will believe a lie if they hear it enough. People are so much more multi dimensional than the how what and why of what they say from moment to moment.I used to hold things back so much I flooded myself out when I started loving myself enough to speak up.I went passed,way passed a realistic laissez-faire attitude.Well, keeping it low key and wishing any eyeballs and the verbs they belong to my desire for your own peace,wellbeing and freedom to b continued ru PS sorry if this doesn't make much sense like the writer of this post!
