“All experts are blind. Expertise means you become blind to everything else. You know more and more about less and less, and then one day you arrive at the ultimate goal of knowing all about nothing,”
- Osho

“It is wise to have decisions of great moment monitored by generalists. Experts and specialists lead you quickly into chaos. They are the source of useless nit-picking, the ferocious quibble over a comma. The generalist, on the other hand, should bring to decision making a healthy common sense. The generalist must understand that anything which we can identify as our universe is merely part of larger phenomena. But the expert looks backward; he looks into the narrow standards of his own specialty. The generalist looks outward; he looks for living principles, knowing full well that such principles change, that they develop. It is to the characteristics of change itself that the generalist must look. There can be no permanent catalog of such change. You must look at it with as few preconceptions as possible. Languages build up to reflect specializations in a way of life. Each specialization may be recognized by its words, by its assumptions and sentence structures. Look for stoppages. Specializations represent places where life is being stopped, where movement is dammed up and frozen. ”

Specialization is for insects.

Modeling forms the heart of NLP. It is a process of extracting the recipe, the blueprint behind repeatable success. Such recipe typically consists of patterns of beliefs, psychosomatic states and specific behaviors. When modeling from a book, only beliefs are visible (the other two require being with the person), so that is what I have listed above.

(San Francisco, CA) -- eigoMANGA announces the release of the comic book adaptation of 'God Drug' (Diamond Order Code JAN094213) to retail stores on March 29, 2009. The 'God Drug' graphic novel is based of a highly acclaimed American fiction novel originally written by Stephen Antczak.

'God Drug' is a story about the C.I.A. subjecting a group of low-ranking marines with experimental LSD-like hallucinogen. The experiments failed and created a being with destructive psychic abilities who was driven insane after being held in cryo-stasis for over 30 years.

God Drug's comic adaptation was written by seasoned screenwriter Natashia McGough whose television credits include 'Goode Family' and 'Nightstalker'. The original God Drug novel was inspired by punk rock and psychedelic drug scenes in modern society however, Natashia took the God Drug comic into a different direction. She believes that the hidden message within the story is about giving birth to new realities. She also wanted to give the characters more complex and multi-dimensional roles. "It's not a black and white world. Everything has shades of grey. Even within darkness there is still purity and beauty within that", states Natashia.

"I let Natashia do her thing her way. The God Drug manga isn't my book, it's her's and the artist's now" claims novelist and creator, Stephen Antczak. He fully supported eigoMANGA's initiative to create a manga adaptation out of God Drug, "I felt like the story lent itself to the manga world. It could not have been done as an American style comic, in my opinion. Yes, it will be tough, but that's what will make it a kick-ass manga...it will take passion and creativity to make it work".

The 'God Drug' graphic novel is released to retailers on March 25, 2009. And graphic novel can be previewed online at http://www.GodDrug.com.

"I hope that the readers will be visually pleased and mentally stimulated as they read God Drug. There are many profound, subliminal messages about life and our purpose within it in God Drug. This comic book reassures us that we, as humans, definitely create our own reality. It also allows us to understand how our perception can direct our thoughts and actions. I hope the readers enjoy it", adds Natashia.
1. Ideas, beliefs, principles, assumptionsÂ… all these can be tyrants
2. They can also be saviours. Thus one idea triumphs over another by liberating us until it too turns out to be tyrant.
3. ‘Free Will’ is to dodge and duck as ideas do battle around and within us. In vain, while we are the battlefield.
4. It is necessary, therefore, to detach from ideas, beliefs, principles and assumptions. Step back and enjoy the struggle without becoming its victim.
5. This can be difficult and painful. It requires us to abandon our principles (provided that is ‘the one thing that we refuse to do’) and embrace relativity. It requires us to admit that even the most monstrous human beings have probably at times nurtured intentions every bit as benevolent as our own.
6. There is a precedent for this detachment: it was when mankind learnt to detach from Nature. This was progress: the bushman is in this one respect our inferior and we must therefore learn most carefully from them.
7. Detaching from Nature, from Mother Earth, was a phase of growing up. It was necessary for the development of Science.
8. Detaching from ideas is another stage of growing up. It is time to let go of Truth and discover our Selves. It is also necessary for the development of Magic.
9. Goodbye, Mother Earth. Goodbye, Father Sky.
10. A Great Adventure lies ahead.

-Ramsey Dukes

"Magic is about bringing spirit down into matter, giving our lives meaning and producing concrete results, while religion is more about raising us up towards spirit, explaining why things happen and giving us a sense of purpose. "

RELEVANCE OF MAGIC:

EXAMPLE 1. Centuries of scientific thinking inspired technology, and technology has made our world very complicated. Scientific thinking is not good at handling complexity – the usual scientific approach is to begin by paring down the field of enquiry by eliminating or ignoring extraneous factors – and so now we tend towards magical thinking.

In the 70s I recall how we dealt with a software bug: we ran a few test cases then studied the programme or flow diagram to locate where the fault lay and then re-wrote that bit of the programme. Today’s software is too complicated for that. When my iMac refused to back-up I spent a while Googling ”error code –36” and eventually found a discussion of the same problem. one of the suggestions was ”try unplugging all other firewire devices”. I tried it and it worked. But is this so very different from saying ”for a happy marriage, don’t wear green on your wedding day”? Whereas scientific thinking studies causes, magical thinking studies correlations – as in sympathetic magic. That makes magic much quicker in these complex situations.

So, for example, if tomorrow’s news announces a dramatic statistical correlation between cancer and instant coffee, there would be a big public demand for restrictions on the sale of instant coffee, and many people would defend that in the name of science (”it’s been proven”). ”Do we or don’t we?” the argument rages in the name of science. My solution would be to immediately restrict coffee sales but make it clear that this is a magical act in order to give time for the scientists to work out the cause and effect – eg whether intant coffee causes cancer or whether incipient cancer causes people to want instant coffee.

EXAMPLE 2. Magic does to science what science did to religion – it makes it seem unnecessary or irrelevant. At the mental or cultural level, I see the general evolution of religion leading towards monotheism, and that prepares the way for science – because the problem of strict monotheism is that it actually leaves us with two things: an absolute God and this transient yet lived-in world. Science provides an answer by saying that this world is the ultimate reality. To put it in religious terms, science says that Matter alone is the First Cause or ”God” and there is only One Law and that is Physics – ie that science becomes the real monotheism, and we no longer need religion.

So science advances to explore our very souls and reveals the gulf that exists between subjective and objective reality. This explains away so much of our ideas about spirit – they are subjective delusions whereas science tells us about the objective reality that lies behind them. By doing this, science has now recreated that duality – the world we live in as actually a subjective illusion of the brain, just a reflection of the real material world that lies beyond the gateway of our senses. That prepares the way for magic, because magic says that the actual world we live in, the subjective reality, is what matters and that the objective world it is supposed to reflect is merely a useful hypothesis.

That is putting it rather abstractly – so how does this work in practice? Here is an example. Go back a few centuries and I am a man suffering a bad disease so I ask the experts – the priests – and they say God is punishing me for my sins and I must pray. There is, however, this new-fangled ”natural philosopher” who says I should just swallow 3 of his tablets a day and only drink water that’s been boiled and I’ll soon feel better. I decide to go with this guy because I like what he delivers — even though what the priest says makes clear sense, while this scientist speaks a lot of apparent mumbo jumbo about ”invisible bacteria” or whatever. So religion gets sidelined by science in this case. Fast forward to now and I am suffering aches and pains and I choose to go to a local aromatherapist who makes me feel good, even though it sounds like mumbo jumbo, and even though I read in the papers a few years ago that the real experts have done a big double blind test that concluded there was ”nothing in” aromatherapy. So science gets sidelined by magic, just as it once sidelined religion.

It’s the return of the Platonic idea: that the world we live in is but the shadow of a ”higher” reality. The spiritual folk interpret this as the world of matter is just a shadow of a world of spirit which is the true reality. The scientist interprets it as our subjective reality is just a shadow of an objective world of matter which is the true reality. In both cases the ”man in the street” is expected to consult the experts for the truth, while magic says ”just work on the subjective, that’s what really matters”.

I have been asked numerous times “how do I get more power for myself?” The answer is simple. The process is difficult. The difficulties lie in repetition & tolerating the restructuring anxiety, along with real world threats from other monkeys. So here is the secret: “Power” as metaphor is divided unequally between what Freud called the id, ego and superego. Keep in mind that Freud’s labels are simply labels and do not exist in reality but only point to complex structures and processes.

In most people the contaminated id (masochism, self-damaging desires) is controlled primarily by the superego (inculcated authority/cop). Hence, power is expended in impulse and the counter impulse battle. How much power? I would guess the average person expends more than 75% of their total energies in the struggle between impulsive desire (id), and the self-flagellating response to the desire (superego). Ego functions, i.e. rational and social functions, represent about 25%.

This hypothetical model requires reversal. What does this mean? The superego (whose very existence depends on social and native processes) must be defused and its energy given to the ego. This contradicts FreudÂ’s dictate, that in the healthy person the id impulses will be replaced by the ego. Instead the superego will be replaced by the ego and the contaminated id transformed back to the primal id.

The contaminated id must also be defused and the energy given to the ego. This is the purpose and meaning of Undoing.

In practice, defusing the superego alone is not sufficient as the contaminated id will begin to run wild and get the person into practical trouble with the external superego (the “authorities”).

Thus, the contaminated id must be defused at the same time. One problem is that most monkeys cannot separate practical self- control from superego self-control, due to conditioning at an early age to (external) authority. This process is existential, in that the helpless infant deifies the adult caretaker regardless of the caretakerÂ’s qualities. Thus, the infantile processes of deifying the caretaker/authority suffer from an absence of objective evaluation and discrimination. Finally, the original superego is further built upon by other adults, media and social pressure, continuing the innate deifying process to the grave.

CRASS - Punk is DeadMaanantai 19.01.2009 14:39

Yes that's right, punk is dead,
It's just another cheap product for the consumers head.
Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors,
Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters.
CBS promote the Clash,
But it ain't for revolution, it's just for cash.
Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be
And it ain't got a thing to do with you or me.

Movements are systems and systems kill.
Movements are expressions of the public will.
Punk became a movement cos we all felt lost,
But the leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost.
Punk narcissism was social napalm,
Steve Jones started doing real harm.
Preaching revolution, anarchy and change
As he sucked from the system that had given him his name.

Well I'm tired of staring through shit stained glass,
Tired of staring up a superstars arse,
I've got an arse and crap and a name,
I'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame.
Steve Jones you're napalm,
If you're so pretty (vacant) why do you swarm?
Patti Smith you're napalm,
You write with your hand but it's Rimbaud's arm.

And me, yes I, do I want to burn?
Is there something I can learn?
Do I need a business man to promote my angle?
Can I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangle?
I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear,
The social elite with safety-pins in their ear,
I watch and understand that it don't mean a thing,
The scorpions might attack, but the systems stole the sting.

PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.

Tyler says I'm nowhere near ending the bottom, yet. And If I don't fall all the way, I can't be saved. Jesus did it with his crucifixion thing. I shouldn't just abandon money and property and knowledge. This isn't just a weekend retreat. I should run fro self-improvement, and I should be running toward disaster. I can't just play it safe anymore.
"If you lose your nerve before you hit the bottom," Tyler says, "you'll never really succeed."
Only after disaster we can be resurrected.
"It's only after you've lost everything", Tyler says, "that you are free to do anything."
What I'm feeling is premature enlightenment
"where you at now," Tyler says, "you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like."

Vuoden viimeinen päiväKeskiviikko 31.12.2008 15:55

normaalisti inhoon suunnitella ja uudenvuodenlupaus on vähän sama asia. Mutta kokeilen keksiä jonkun suunnitelman ensi vuodelle:

1. Otan pankkilainan
2. Hommaan potkut töistä (tämä on ehdottomasti tärkein kohta!)
3. Hommaan tyttöystävän ja ostan veneen
4. Ostan hotellin jostain Thaimaasta päin sen jälkeen kun olen kyllästynyt mereen

Ei ole hirveän vaikea suunnitelma. Ensimmäinen kunnollinen suunnitelma elämässäni. Ei tunnu yhtään vaikeelta lähtee toteuttaan sitä.
