SHACK 185 HERE AND THERE, HERE AND NOW

quotescover.com
You may not be able to see the author--it is Albert Einstein

Years back there were two themes that went around some circles; the first was that when the first Westerners came to an Island near Borneo and anchored their large ship off the coast due to the rocky shore and used small boats to go in, the islanders were amazed and said 'how did they get here' apparently they had never seen a large boat and so they did not actually see it.  The Shaman did apparently.

The second; in the Kalahari Desert the bushmen had an imaginary border and anything outside it did not exist, when the first helicopter arrived and parked near the border, they only saw that bit that was over the border.

Another incident I came across was a blind boy who lived on a sheep farm in the UK, he was operated on by a surgeon who had determined he could restore the vision because it was possible with this boys condition. The boy used to carve sheep out of wood by touch of model sheep given him. 
When after a month in bandages around his eyes and face were removed, he cried because he could not see, the surgeon gave him a carving and said this is a sheep, the boy immediately saw the sheep and all else.

Another such incident was in the Khmer Rouge and the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia they used to carry out psychological and strange experiments. One was to have caves where youngsters were tied to the walls and only allowed by special lighting to see shadows, I have seen films of this and when soldiers liberated them they could not see them until they saw shadows which led them too them.  Its like looking at the space between leaves and other objects and that is the reality, I know of other experiments which did just that.

Then there is the so called 'Hundred Monkey or Critical Mass' regarding one monkey learned a new thing about washing potatoes in the sea and using a plastic cup to use as well from the scientists visiting this uninhabited remote place . When the tribe all copied the original monkey that was understandable.  However when the scientists went to another Island the same species immediately used a cup dropped by the scientists and washed the potatoes in the sea.

Rats were put into a maize and the reward was food at the end. This was done in the UK it took the UK rats three days to solve the maize, freshly built maize's in Japan and the USA with different but same species rats did it in one day. Children learning poems in a foreign language and repeating them often although not understanding them repeated the sounds until they could speak them fluently and yet still not knowing the translation, when this was done with other children in the same country, although not understanding what they were saying, the repeat time lessened and the more it was done the time became shorter.

This also happened in a experiment done in the Arthur Koestler Unit.

The Challenge of Chance: A Mass Experiment in Telepathy and Its Unexpected Outcome, a book on this subject; He set up a trust fund to establish, after his death, a Chair of Parapsychology at a British University. Edinburgh won this honor, and with it Koestler's own archive of most of his surviving manuscripts, correspondence and annotated books from his library.  The experiments were fascinating; in rooms in a long corridor apart there were comfortable seats and a computer screen in one and just a chair and goggles(in the early days a table tennis ball cut in two and painted pink) the first person selected an image on the screen and the second with goggles was asked to see what came into mind, by the end of two years they had a 85% success rate, then something really strange happened the goggles room anticipated the image before it was selected by the person at the computer and they selected the image of the goggles.  It reversed itself.  The participants were people asked from Princess Street in Edinburgh if the would like to take part in experiment just ordinary passers by. You might like to see Dr Dean Radin's work you can see the experiments on videos, they are not fake and those scientists who denounce him ignore the actual provable  facts and will not repeat them, why, because it will blow their local mind and not they are not big enough to encompass the unknown, a tribe member or Shaman.


Alfred Rupert Sheldrake (born 28 June 1942) is an English author,[3] and researcher in the field of parapsychology,[4]known for his "morphic resonance" concept.[5] He worked as a biochemist and cell biologist at Cambridge University from 1967 to 1973[3] and as principal plant physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics until 1978.[6]

Sheldrake's morphic resonance hypothesis posits that "memory is inherent in nature"[3][7] and that "natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind".[7] Sheldrake proposes that it is also responsible for "telepathy-type interconnections between organisms".[8] His advocacy of the idea encompasses paranormal subjects such as precognition, telepathy and the psychic staring effect[9][10] as well as unconventional explanations of standard subjects in biology such as development, inheritance, and memory.[11]
I was acquainted with Dr Sheldrake when I was a member of the Scientific and Medical Network, I feel a morphic resonance was set up at the Edinburgh University and those incidents above and below.

So is reality a conditioned reflex, is it a programmed, brain washed thing or can we put a real marker on this is real? It is tied in with with one's belief and cultural upbringing.  Was Tarzan of the Apes reality that his parents were Apes(books by Edgar Rice Burroughs)?

Perhaps if we questioned our own reality we might come to a startling conclusion---is my reality real or just based on my upbringing and Life experiences?

Strangely enough if this puts doubts in the mind then the quest to find out who one really is may lead to the fact that the only seemingly real reality is that emptiness and calm when the mind is at complete rest and there is nothing in mind.


SHACK
Then the question how did the Shaman see the ship? Well they deal in dimensional shifts in the mind and not tethered to one reality of the tribal ethos, so the mind is not local and the non local mind embraces all and everything.
Also pygmies seeing a TV programme looked inside the box to see where the tiny people were. The first lighter and match they saw frightened them and they ran away. 
when we say there are no ET and life on other planets------well are you a tribal member or a Shaman?

WHERE IS THE MIND?

IN THE BRAIN

ARE YOU SURE?

SHACK 183 ONLY THOUGHT

quotesgram.com



You know that feeling when you have a disturbing dream and you cannot remember it or only part of it.  Well some thoughts can have a similar haunting residue.

I used to have a repeating voice at certain bodily sensations that said 'cancer' or a reoccurring fantasy about a family I deserted. I did have suspected cancer of the lungs and caught it in time and did natural remedies and healing, that was in 1999 and then followed with prostate suspect cancer and followed the same protocol as the lung one. 

The saboteur  voice is the voice of a very negative 'pocket' that runs through my family which my late mother and brother and now my nephew calls the Freed Curse.

I do not blame them for blame is denial and I do not blame myself although the cloud of fear sometimes 'bugs' me, especially when I am tired and stressed or if my energy levels are down due to chemtrails and a bad few days diet.  Since I have been on my 'fast' routine it has cleansed a lot of toxins from me and my senses are sharper than they have been for a long while, so if I take too much food or any additives and preservatives I get really 'off' and my body muscle and fascia memory with cellular memory click in and I am noticing that they rebel very easily if they do not get their 'fix' not to be taken for recreational drugs, I have never done them, I used to smoke cigars, roll up cigarettes and  a pipe some forty years back for about two years. So when I get knocked back by overeating as in the fast I tend to overeat when the first meal was due now I am eating even less and feel fine.  Its mainly psychological that I  have to eat more when the fast is over.

However, dealing with the cloud or fog that persists I find that meditation even when on the bus or train, washing up and so on, just letting the thoughts arise and the bodily symptoms that accompany no matter what horrors they bring 'you'll be back in hospital' 'You haven't the strength to go all through that again' ' You are not a victim of your family ethos, the world media writing about 'have you this and that symptom---it could be a sign of 'xxxx' 'Men are more reluctant to go for help---check with your GP before its too late' 'Prevention is better than cure that is if it can be cured'

So watching not letting the fear arise, be careful not to suppress, judge, analyze, push away or manipulate and you might find the mind slowly or suddenly clears and there is a softness and sometimes a joy and one realises 'oh its only a thought'.

A really persistent thought brings the worry and anxiety I am manifesting this by its constant bantering and mockery of me, is it real or is the ego just trying to regain its foothold on the slippery slope of its demise?

A test is the real you is not an anxious being and does not get disturbed-----so its up to me and you to do something about it and that mainly is nothing.

SHACK 182 GOOD OLD DAYS

list25

Many senior citizens like to say 'it wasn't like this in our days' or 'if only my Arthur or Gladys were alive'. If we always live in the past we are living only in memory and not what is happening now and so we might misread the information and its gets filtered and assessed through the sieve of memory and altered to suit present day occurrences and the consequences and unhappy outcome unless in the company of like minded folk.

Not all of the above can be said to be the past in a way.  For instance coming back to Judo and The Way in Tao if it becomes as in Judo an Olympic Sport where it uses weight categories and the training in the gym of resistance exercises muscle gain and physical dominance and skill perhaps not cultivated so much then we have mere grappling and that is OK if you wish that but it should be called another name Japanese Wresting as other forms have their name, Greco- Roman, Sumo, Catch, Free Style, Folkstyle and Collegiate, Northumberland, Cumberland and Westmorland and a host from many countries.

 So Judo and Kungfu as taught by my teachers were linked to Zen Buddhism and Tao and were primarily based on meditation and was a spiritual pursuit as in distinction to a religious one. So yes I feel it one of the good old days that is good or rather appropriate. 

I  might be accused of being pedantic and not living in the now of things. The now is in meditation and empty mind, the mind full of thoughts is a mind of lots of facets and innovations built from experience, the mind that acts from being is a mind that adapts and that is alright, however if one lives with just technical and mechanical means, that is how one becomes It seems Judo has followed the ego---strength, power, medals, trophies, dominance and not caring about the finer elements 'giving way to defeat' that is mainly counter defense, so one takes part in a kind of dance and uses the momentum to cause off balance and is relaxed and feels the other persons 'mind and intent' Judo and Kungfu as a meditation.

It seems wars, cheating, corruption, violence and so on is the name of the game today. win at all costs-----take professional Soccer with its huge salaries and sacked managers if the teams fail to produce results---many a player and manager crack under the strain of always winning---many other celebrity players of sport such as tennis, golf, motor racing, horse racing and other games are stretched to limit of human endurance and their bodies break down under constant injury.  Soldiers and Police face the same strains as this mania for success produces crime and adulation for celerity status.

SHACK 181 RADAR

wikipedia


The size, the weight, the speed, the wind and terrain can determine the 'wave' following and leading a ballistic missile . This then can be detected by a radar dish or antennae.  These arrays that pick up the frequencies merely relay it back to a computer screen and the incoming analysis is made by a software intelligence programmed to recognize the frequencies or a person who determines the outcome. The person is an organic Intelligence as in distinction to Artificial Intelligence.

The dish, antennae or array is not intelligent or sentient, nor is the software AI.  It is merely what it is Artificial Intelligence and can determine threat or Safe.

In meditation be the radar dish.  Just let the frequencies flow and let the logic and the intellect rest, they have their place in the scheme of things, for that is the way of things in Human Life.

Tell me what is the difference between Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence.  You could say AI was created by Humans and then who created humans-----the answer is the difference between AI  and Humans.

SHACK 180 THE WAY

The Tao Ba gua


Tao Tao or Dao (/daʊ/; Chinese: 道; pinyin: About this sound Dào (help·info)) is a Chinese word signifying 'way', 'path', 'route', 'key' or sometimes more loosely 'doctrine' or 'principle'. Within the context of traditional Chinese philosophy and religion, the Tao is the intuitive knowing of "life" that cannot be grasped full-heartedly as just a concept but is known nonetheless through actual living experience of one's everyday being. The Tao differs from conventional (Western) ontology in that it is an active and holistic practice of the natural order of Nature and its universal awakening, rather than a static, atomistic one.[citation needed]
Laozi in the Tao Te Ching explains that the Tao is not a 'name' for a 'thing' but the underlying natural order of the Universe whose ultimate essence is difficult to circumscribe due to it being non conceptual yet evident' in one's being of aliveness.[citation needed] The Tao is "eternally nameless” (Tao Te Ching-32. Laozi) and to be distinguished from the countless 'named' things which are considered to be its manifestations, the reality of life before its descriptions . (COURTESY Wikipedia).
JUDO;Dr Kano believed that "jūjutsu" was insufficient to describe his art: although Jutsu (術?) means "art" or "means", it implies a method consisting of a collection of physical techniques. Accordingly, he changed the second character to dō (道?), meaning way, road or path, which implies a more philosophical context than jutsu and has a common origin with the Chinese concept of tao. Thus Kano renamed it Jūdō (柔道?, judo).[19]((Courtesy Wikipedia)

 Dr Jigoro Kano was the founder of Judo---good reading.  He was caught in a snow storm on his way back from China and went into a cave to shelter. He observed a cherry tree branches snap under the weight of the snow and force of wind, while a willow tree branches bent and returned hence the ‘Gentle Way’ not the monstrosity and barbaric modern Olympic games Judo.  Giving way to defeat an opponent, avoiding.  Refer to SHACK 178 AND 179.

Neither of these two explanations above satisfied what Sensei and Sifu had explained and taught me.  They both called it the ‘Way less Way’.  It was the way of the Universe, Sensei described Ju as an implementing Do the way of the Universe. Sifu said the Tao was the same as Do and that the Universe worked as an intelligence that was beyond logic and understanding, that we had to be quiet and still even in action to ‘feel it’.  Both would say that explanations were useless and that if pressed would just say ‘this is the way it goes ---this is the way of things ---this is the mystery--- there is no logic it is as it is until it isn't'.  If pressed again for an answer they would walk away or say things like ‘ stick your head in the fridge’, ‘go play with the traffic’.

Again here we see the development of all the senses combined into one Radar type focused alertness a super fine awareness, which is dynamic, moving yet still and honed to ‘feeling’ as a quote from the famous Bruce Lee ‘Feel don’t think’

From another film the first Karate Kid with the famous Mr Miyagi ‘Mr Miyagi how you do that?’ ‘ Don’t know first time’


When is the way not the Way only when it is the Way. So what then is it?.

Be still quieten the raging storm in the mind, do not strangle thought or block it, neither let it take over--------the stateless state.

 When I spoke to Mr Koizumi he was very despondent and he said that Olympic Judo was a monstrosity, weight, groups grappling, muri ni waza (unreasonable use of physical strength were not his way of Judo. (SHACK)

Gunji Koizumi (小泉 軍治 Koizumi Gunji?, 8 July 1885 – 15 April 1965), known affectionately by colleagues as G.K.,[1][2] was a Japanese master of judo who introduced this martial art to the United Kingdom,[3] and came to be known as the 'Father of British Judo.'[4][5] He was the founder of the Budokwai, a pioneering Japanese martial arts society in England.[2][6][7] Koizumi helped establish the British Judo Association,[8] and founded the European Judo Union.[2] He held the rank of 8th dan in judo.[1] Koizumi's apparent suicide in 1965 shocked the worldwide judo community.[2]



SHACK 179 THE ARCHER

pinterest

Long ago in Japan there was a famous archer he toured everywhere and was never beaten. One day in his travels he came across a remote village and although well off of the beaten track his reputation had gone before him.

The villagers held him in great esteem and the elder of the village said ' Oh venerable master there is an old man at the top of the mountain, a hermit and mystic he was said to be the best archer of all time'.  The master went to meet the old man and said 'you are or were the best archer of all time, how so'?  The hermit took the master to edge of a two hundred foot mountain edge and there the mystic stood right on the edge on one foot drew his bow and fired at a distant eagles nest ( the arrow could not reach the nest, it was just a target) and it was higher than the edge of the mountain.

The master shuddered he was scared to balance on one leg at the edge of the mountain with a huge drop below.  He asked the hermit to teach him.  Two years later the master could stand at the edge and release the arrow. The master then continued his arrogance and boasted he was the best.

The hermit then said you see that village down there a mere speck from that height, well down there is village elder who is better than I am he might have something to offer you.

The master then descended the mountain and went to meet the elder and said 'I was sent here by the hermit and he said you are still the greatest archer' with that the master looked for a bow in the home and could not find one and he said to the Old Man where is your Bow and Arrow and the old man scratched his head and said 'whats a bow and arrow'?

The master went away thinking the old man was senile and a dotard.  But you and I know he wasn't

SHACK
Sensei and Sifu emphasized that the use of training physically with the breath and meditation was to overcome the ego, find compassion and be cheerful, happy and joyous. To have a still mind, empty and free mind.  If one still wants to practice that is fine so long as it is not for trophies and beating another, no fuel for the ego. Having attained a modicum of peace and tranquility many went to write poetry, draw and sketch or just live ordinarily in the village content and tranquil. (SHACK)
