An, Old, Dream Sequence, Re-Visited

Last night, I, had, a very strange Dream.

The details are rather vague, as ,all Dreams, tend to be,- but, I, remember the words, 'Crawley Court'.[a place, I, never, heard of] The Dream, had, Me, searching, for, an, Apartment, that, I, had, once owned. I ,found, the location[in the Dream]but, no Building, could, ever, have been, on the undeveloped ,and, overgrown, piece of land, almost, hill-like, with, a very, steep incline, somewhat like ,a Railway embankment.
I ,woke up, very puzzled.
Today, I ,searched, 'google', and, found, this information.
A local Historian, has, covered the History, of Crawley;http://www.communigate.co.uk/hants/somsoc/page7.phtml
;

Hampshire Sundials Peter Ransom January 2002

Hampshire Sundials.
The subject of the Society's first talk for 2002 was 'Hampshire Sundials' and was given by Peter Ransom who is not only an expert on the subject but he is also a great enthusiast and came appropriately dressed with a waistcoat embossed with clocks and sundials.

Peter's interest in sundials started when he lived in the North-East and discovered that his local village had many sundials, from this his interest grew and he now has photographed sundials throughout the world.

The British Sundial Society which was formed in 1989 now has records of over 6,000 sundials in the U.K
Peter reminded us that the earth's path round the sun is not truly circular or regular and consequently Greenwich Mean Time is 'averaged', as a result sundials do not always agree with clock time.

In olden days people relied on sundials (which can be a very accurate means of telling the time) when their longcase clocks ran down or broke, they then had to resort to a sundial to get an accurate baseline for re-setting the clock.

Peter the took us through the history of sundials starting with the earliest scratch dials dating from Saxon times. There are 4 known Saxon dials in Hampshire, at Corhampton, Hannington, Warnford and Winchester.

These dials can be either vertical or horizontal and consist of scratches made in a stone with a hole for the gnomon ( the stick in the center of the dial which casts a shadow on the stone). The Saxons measured their time in tids and like today there were 24 tids in a day.

The Saxon scratch dials however use the octaval system which divides the day into eight and is presumably of religious significance. These dials are thought to be of 7th or 8th century origin.


Post Saxon dials are more common and are frequently placed on quoins, window piers and above porches or priests doors. Kings Somborne church has 3 scratch dials (why so many?), one of them is upside down and probably was accidentally moved when the Victorians restored the church. Romsey Abbey also has 3 scratch dials, one is on a North face and since it is upside down it is thought that it has been moved from another part of the abbey or recycled from an old chapel.

Scratch dials were replaced by what most of us would now recognize as a traditional sundial. These later dials were much more scientific and the segments of the day were of different sizes with Roman numerals often being used.

Horizontal dials are frequently found in churchyards and during the 1920's it was very fashionable to have a commemorative dial erected in memory of someone .

With a horizontal dial a line extending up the gnomon is in line with the Pole star and the angle between the baseplate and the gnomon gives the latitude of the dial.

Many dials are incorrectly made but with a properly constructed dial the line between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. should pass through the base of the gnomon.

Vertical dials can be very sophisticated and the one at Bramdean is in the shape of a cross so that the sun passes over many faces of the cross and gives an accurate reading of the time in different planes.

The exact methodology of this dial is written up in Peter's very interesting book 'A Dozen Dials' published in 1998.
The lecture was profusely illustrated by many slides of sundials in Hampshire and Peter concluded his interesting address by showing us some modern dials including the globe dial at Portsmouth and the new dial on Gosport esplanade as well as an analemmatic dial which he has constructed.

In this dial the gnomon is vertical and often the observer acts as the gnomon.

I am very curious, as to what this Dream may mean? I, will continue My, 'exploration'......

Does, anyone, know ,of, any, 'similarities'?


Part2, Day2.

Another, night, another, Dream.

This ,one, is, I'm, beginning, to realise, a continuation, of ,the one, I, had, and, described, in, My, last Posting.

Briefly, as follows.

I, am driving 'downhill', on an icy[slippery , but drivable with care]road. I ,reach a Mediaeval town.
A sign says 'Otingen', and, I, realise I am, in a 'Germanic',Country.

I ,leave, the car,and proceed , 'downhill', through a tightly packed street system, until, I find myself, in a kind of 'market place', with a lot of stalls, selling various items.
The one that catches my attention, is selling various, 'Russian hats', similar to the Military type, worn by Russian soldiers, but a more modern design, and some with 'Camouflage', patterning..
The stall is being attended by a giant figure, at least nine foot tall, dressed in Military garb, but with no visible weaponry.
I ,am unimpressed by the figure, and do not stop.
The next stall, is selling a giant , perfectly square, TV set, completely black.
I, look carefully at this , then leave. The 'market' has other people walking about, but none notice me, and, I, pay no attention to them. I ,awaken, knowing, I, must write this down.

First impressions.
1, Germanic country? brings to mind 'Gottingen', and it's , 'University of enlightenment', in Germany.
2, strong Russian symbolism, 'giant [male] figure? maybe 'Bear?'
3, slippery downhill road?
4, black 'square?' Tv set[technos]

So, to start with, 'Otingen'. I ,searched, Google, but found nothing satisfactory. Then, I ,thought maybe it's ot-in-gen? or perhapsm Old Testament-in Genesis?
I ,rather like the idea ,of ,Gottingen! and, it's. 'University of enlightenment!,' so, feel happy ,to follow this idea.
http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/1.html
Mediaeval? town? reminds me of Jung's 'Liverpool Dream', only Jung went upwards! I ,was definitely, going 'Downwards'. Am I entering a depressive state? ...maybe..

Back to the first dream posting. Previously to this, I posted a piece, about, 'Ed Harris', the actor, who starred in , 'Apollo' movies.
'Crawley', is from the old English, 'Craw-leah', meaning , wood, or clearing, of Crows! so, I, was being ,'summoned;, to, the 'Court of Crows?'. Crows, and Blackbirds generally, I know, a lot, about, re; Religio/Mythology research. Apollo, has multifarious Symbolism.
But, as, I am, Self-Analysing, I am interested, in, Jungian connections.
No surprise, then, That I find, 'Apollo', straight, out, of ,Jungian terminology.
[wikipedia]

Apollo archetype

The Apollo archetype personifies the aspect of the personality that wants clear definitions, is drawn to master a skill, values order and harmony, and prefers to look at the surface, as opposed to beneath appearances. The Apollo archetype favors thinking over feeling, distance over closeness, objective assessment over subjective intuition.[1][2][3]

 Background

Early in the 20th century, Carl Gustav Jung sought to find a word that could describe the innate patterns of behaviour that govern our lives. Thus he introduced the term ‘Archetypes’ into modern psychology. Jung described archetypes as distinct themes manifesting in the fantasies and behaviour of his patients, and found these same themes visibly rendered in the arts, religionsmyths,architecture, and social customs of all peoples. Because he did not want the term ‘archetypes’ to become yet another intellectual abstraction, Jung advanced various mythic images to illustrate them. For instance, the Goddess Demeter is a presentation of the archetypal mother; Zeus an archetypal father; Apollo the archetypal intellectual, and so on. Jung went on to personify many archetypes by using general expressions such as 'The Great Mother’, 'Old Wise Man’, 'Shadow archetype’, etc. which have now become standard expressions in the field of Analytical Psychology. Jung writes “The fact that the unconscious spontaneously personifies is the reason why I have taken over these personifications in my terminology and formulated them in names”.[4]

So! my journey continues.....
  Germanic and Russian themes are my interest at this moment. Nietzsche has pre-occupied me for some time now, maybe a little Russian study, will prove therapeutic? The Blacksquare, is very reminiscent of the chessboard! and , as everyone knows, the russians are pretty good at Chess!

'Black Square?'

here's a little from Wikipedia. re; 'Monoliths'.


All the monoliths are black, extremely flat, non-reflective cuboids whose dimensions are in the precise ratio 1:4:9 (the squares of the first three integers). These dimensions are the main source of debate regarding the monoliths' simple external design. It is suggested in the novel that this number series does not stop at three dimensions.[1]
The monoliths are observed in several different sizes - TMA-0 and TMA-1 are both 11 feet long and TMA-2 is two kilometres long on the longest axis, while the monolith that appears on Europa is considerably larger. They may be able to assume any size, for in 2010: Odyssey Two, the starchildDavid Bowman, cryptically notes that the monolith is actually one size - as large as necessary.

Also 'Otingen', may not be Gottingen?

So, far, I have identified a 'Teutonic Knight', with this surname, something 'Polish?', perhaps?
any Polish readers? can help me here?

Day3 Dream3
First, a little background info.
[this is not dream material]
I am a Taxi-Driver, of over 25 years, experience. I work nights.I got into the house at 4am.I was still thinking about this dream sequence.My last fare of the night, had been an interesting experience.A group of people had gone along way out of their intended route, to drop off a female, who was somewhat inebriated. They had tried to get her into her house, for a long time, finally abandoning the attempt, and getting her back into the cab, had driven a long way to another persons house. She would stay the night there. It had been a long time, trying toget her into her own house, but they had given up the attempt, finally deciding, that another key had been left in the lock, at the other side of the door, hence their inability to open the door.
I was very amused by the whole thing, it turned out to be a very good fare for me, and I had arrived home in a happy frame of mind.
Before going to bed, I was in the kitchen, making a drink, when a huge flash of lightening, lit up the room, followed by a mighty clap of thunder! , I smiled,and went to bed myself.
I slept lightly, and uneventfully, the dream came late, it had a much lower'intensity', and I will try to recall the details as follows.
Material[dream3]

I am with my wife,at the top of a hill, in Liverpool. Across a busy road is a shop. We wait to cross, and a caribbean lady, with a baby , in a stroller, wait next to us to cross the road.
She crosses alone, leaving the baby on our side of the road, and goes into the shop.We get down to stroller level, to look at the baby.
Next, I am in a pool hall. A man is playing pool alone. He is very good, but I know I can help him improve his game. So, I watch for a while, then leave.
Now, I am back with my wife, we are going down the hill, in front of us, the caribbean lady is now with my wifes sister, Monica. It is very hot and sunny. A local 'wag' on a bicycle passes us. He says, 'Hot isn't it? I got my mums sunburn, and she wants it back!' ha ha, and disappears.
Monica, the caribbean lady, and the stroller have disappeared. Claire, my wife, says, 'they must be playing the fruit machines[casino machines]', and I wake up.

Primary observations.
1, the dream sequence temperature has changed, from cold to hot.
2, a baby has arrived on the scene, but the stroller , indicates 'dependence'.
3, the man playing pool, is suffering the greatest evil,-loneliness, no one to play with!
4,'Monica', and my wife, are now actively helping, [female intuition?]
5, the 'wag', on the bicycle, I identify as the 'Bicycle joker', seen on playing cards[trickster figure]
6, Fruit machines and Bicycle jokers? [playing cards] indicate 'gambling'.

Dream 2, of yesterday, I discussed with a passenger in my cab, her advice, was to, wait and see. I have difficulty doing this, as my mind is so active.
Checking on the 'perfectly square black box, tv?', I found this;

Black box theory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigationsearch
In philosophy and science black box theories have been proposed for various fields by various philosophers and scientists. Such a prominent theory is the so called "black box theory of consciousness", which states that the mind is fully understood once the inputs and outputs are well defined, and generally couples this with a radical skepticism regarding the possibility of ever successfully describing the underlying structure, mechanism, and dynamics of the mind.

[edit] Example

If we had a black box that we could not open, could not just "look inside" to see how it worked, all we could do is guess how it worked based on what happens when we do something to it (an input) and what occurs as a result of that (an output). If we put an orange in on one side, and an orange falls out the other. We can make educated guesses on what is happening inside the black box. It could be filled with oranges, it could have a conveyor belt to move the orange from one side to the other, it could even go through an alternate universe for all we know. All we can do is guess.
Every now and again something strange will occur that changes our understanding of the black box. Like if we put an orange in and a guava popped out. Suddenly our "filled with oranges" and "conveyor belt" theories no longer work and we have to change our "educated guess" as to how the black box works.
The black box theory is a fairly popular method to describe what psychology is like. We cannot open the mind and simply "peek" inside, we can only do something to the mind (show it something scary) and from the results guess what goes on inside.

Now, I have a different understanding, of the dream sequence.

'Otingen', I was unsatisfied with. I felt a Polish connection, somehow, Nietzsche, after all, was Polish.
No surprise then, that I picked up three people from Poland last night?, one was a girl, soon to be married to an English guy. I asked her about 'Otingen', she said she knew of a place in Poland.
So, I tried an extra 'T', and looked for 'Ottingen'.
Its amazing what a 'T' can do!
http://www.europeanheraldry.org/house_of_ottingen_.html



And this,

http://encycl.opentopia.com/term/%C3%96ttingen_%28pedigree%29


Surprise! Surprise! 'Ottingen', is a root etymol, of 'Edinger!', my fav Jungian Writer!

Now, I, am, really stunned! I, always, thought, 'Academics', were, a bunch of gobshites, I, now realise, that, I am, an Academic! aaargh!
Dreams are just Dreams, but when Thunder and Lightning[Donner und Blitzen!] appear just before going into the Dream state, surely some thing, 'synchronistic', is going on? I, am, leaving off, with the Dream Analysis ,for, a while. I am returning to Art, 'appraisal', starting tomorrow, with some Artwork, by CG Jung himself,
beginning with the picture on the front, of the Excellent, Edward F Edinger, book, 'Transformation of the God-Image'.

Öttingen, Öttinger, Ötinger, Ettinger, Ettingereytinger is Christian and Jewish (#E- style Yiddish  form) family name derived from the city of Oettingen in Bavaria, and as in Jewish pedigree found all over Europe among Ashkenazim families.

[ABOVE POST, WAS, ORIGINALLY, FROM, 2011]

I, HAVE,WAITED, FOR, YEARS,TO SEE, WHAT, THE UNCONSCIOUS ,WAS, TELLING, ME.
I, THINK, I, NOW, KNOW, THAT, I, WAS, BLAMING, MY-SELF, FOR, SOMETHING..

FUNNY THAT?..I, ALWAYS, THOUGHT, I, WAS, A DUNCE...SCHOOL, WAS, NOT, MY, THING, AT, ALL...BUT, HEY!..I, KNOW, HOW, TO LEARN!..MY, CHILDREN, HAVE, TAUGHT, ME...
LAST NIGHT, I, DREAMED, OF, A HUGE, BEE, FLOATING, ON, WATER..IT, WAS, NOT, MOVING, BUT, I, AM, SURE, IT, WAS, NOT, DEAD... 

THE BLOB.

The film functions as a conspiracy theory film. The threat of the original film was an alien entity from outer space. The remake differs in making the threat a biological weapon, created by a secret government agency. The Blob is closely followed by soldiers and scientists in protective suits. The change reflects the mentality of a more cynical era. [12] The sinister government agents are opposed by rebellious teenager Brian Flagg (Kevin Dillon). His depiction as a rebel and a "tough guy punk" includes wearing a leather jacket, sporting long hair, driving a motorcycle, and distrusting authority figures. [13]
Jacqueline Foertsch argues that the blob of the original film served as a symbol of communist ideology. The more "deathlike" 1980s version served as a metaphor for the AIDS pandemic[14] The dull-red colors of the original changes here to a glistening, pearly grey. The change makes the creature resemble a mucous membrane[14] While the original creature rolled and lumbered on, the newer version slides and strikes aggressively, using phallic tentacles[14] The original blob was a singular organism which increased its size, strength, and velocity by feeding. The newer version not only enlarges itself, but also splits into multiple parts, allowing for simultaneous attacks in multiple locations. Indeed the largest part of the creatures is eventually frozen and contained, but a crazed preacher hoards a few shards, implying the survival of the threat. [14]
Foertsch calls attention to another significant shift from the original. The blob invades the bodies of its victims and springs from the remnants of a previous host to seize a new victim. For example, Vicki is infiltrated by the creature and becomes its host. When Scott reaches to touch her breast, the creature emerges to engulf him.

Karl Marx (1818-1883) is mostly known as one of the founders of Communism. His ideology was the foundation for dictatorships all over the world. What a lot of people don’t know s that Marx and his comrade Friedrich Engels were usually pretty smashed when they discussed their ideas for a perfect socialist society. These nights of drunken philosophizing resulted in the Communist Manifesto and the book Das Kapital.
 That’s right, this heavy boozing resulted in the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall, the Cold War and communist regimes all over the world.

Dean Martin - Volare - Lyrics



The word volar, is from Latin vola, ‘hollow of the hand or foot’.
"Volo ‘I wish’ is said from voluntas ‘free-will’ and from volatus ‘flight,' because the spirit is such that in an instant it pervolat ‘flies through’ to any place whither it volt ‘wishes'" [Varro: On The Latin Language, p.215]
Vallum ‘small winnowing-fan,' from volatus ‘flight,' because when they swing this to and fro the light particles volant ‘fly’ away from there. [Varro: On The Latin Language, p.131.]
The Rudolphine Tables have this constellation, Volans, as Passer, the Sparrow, Passer domesticus, the house sparrow, from the Latin term passer for true sparrows and similar small birds.
The Flying Fish is positioned under Argo Navis, the celestial ship:
"Of the monster called the flying-fish. There is a sea monster called the flying-fish, which has huge wings. When it sees a ship under sail on the sea, it raises its wings over the water and tries to keep pace with the ship for three or four miles; when it fails to keep pace, it lowers its wings and folds them. The waves carry it, exhausted, back to its home in their depths. The flying-fish represents this world. The ship symbolizes the righteous, who sail through its storms and tempests without putting their faith in danger or at risk of shipwreck. But the flying-fish, which could not keep up with the ship, represents those who at the start apply themselves to good works, but do not afterwards persevere with them and yield to all sorts of vice, which carry them, like the restless waves of the sea, down to hell. For the prize goes not to those who begin the race, but to those who stay the course" [The Aberdeen Bestiary]




......HO HO HO! LOL!...

NOLENS VOLENS...
From Latin nolens (unwilling), from nōlō (I am unwilling) and volens (willing), from volō (I am willing, I will).

YOU WILL IT,?..I, DON'T THINK SO...!

The Hollies - Gasoline Alley Bred



Contemplating the remarkable natural world Lao Tzu felt that it was man and his activities which constituted a blight on the otherwise perfect order of things. Thus he counseled people to turn away from the folly of human pursuits and to return to one's natural wellspring.

The five colours blind the eye.
The five tones deafen the ear.
The five flavours dull the taste.
Racing and hunting madden the mind.
Precious things lead one astray.Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees.
He lets go of that and chooses this.

ZIHUATANEJO

After their expulsion from Harvard, Leary and Alpert were determined to carry out additional studies in the religious use of psychedelic drugs. They set up a grassroots nonprofit group called the International Federation for Internal Freedom (IFIF), whose ranks quickly swelled to three thousand dues-paying members. Local offices sprang up in Boston, New York, and Los Angeles. IFIF believed that everyone should be allowed to use mind-expanding chemicals because the "internal freedom" they provided was a personal and not a governmental matter. They envisioned a society in which large numbers of people would seek higher consciousness, ecstasy, and enlightenment through hallucinogens. "It's only a matter of time," Leary stated confidently "until the psychedelic experience will be accepted. We see ourselves as modest heroes, an educational tool to facilitate the development of new social forms....We're simply trying to get back to man's sense of nearness to himself and others, the sense of social reality which civilized man has lost. We're in step with the basic needs of the human race, and those who oppose us are far out."
In the summer of 1963 IFIF moved its headquarters to a hotel in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, a lush tropical paradise two hundred miles north of Acapulco. There they sponsored an experiment in transcendental living based on the utopian writings and visionary insights of Aldous Huxley. Leary invited Dr. Albert Hofmann to participate in a seminar on drug research at the hotel, emphasizing that broadcast and print journalists from the most important mass media would be present. Hofmann demurred; he was disturbed by Leary's publicity-conscious approach. Huxley declined an offer to join the fledgling movement on similar grounds. He was seriously ill at the time. On November 22, the same day President Kennedy was assassinated, Huxley passed away after receiving his last request: an intravenous injection of LSD-25 given by his wife. As she administered the psychedelic, Laura Huxley saw "this immense expression of complete bliss and love." She whispered, "Light and free you let go, darling, forward and up ... you are going toward the light."
During its short but spectacular career the chemical utopia at Zihuatanejo was deluged with over five thousand applicants -- far more than IFIF could handle. The group's activities revolved around a tower on the beach in which at least one person at all times maintained a solemn vigil while high on LSD. The ritual changing of the guard took place at sunrise and sunset, and to be chosen for a stretch in the tower was considered a privilege. Beatnik and bohemian types were not allowed to participate in the program, but that did not stop them from pitching tents nearby. Smoking marijuana and lounging in the sun, these scruffy uninvited guests did little to enhance IFIF's reputation; nor did rumors of the all-night orgies that were supposedly commonplace in the hotel. Scarcely six weeks after they had arrived, lurid reports in the Mexican press led to the expulsion of the LSD colonists.

The Sun,and,the Moon...

An interesting Tsimshian belief makes the Moon a kind of half-way house to the heavens, so that whoever would enter the sky-world must pass through the Home of the Moon. The Keeper of this abode is Pestilence, and with him are four hermaphrodite dwarfs. When the quester appears, he must cry out to the Keeper, "I wish to be made fair and sound"; then the dwarfs will call, " Come hither, come hither!" If he obeys them, they will kill him; but if he passes on, he is safe. A certain hero found his way to the Moon's House by the frequent mode of the arrow ladder, and was there made pure and white as snow. Finally the Keeper sent him back to the world, with the command : "Harken what you shall teach men when you return to Earth. I rejoice to see men upon the Earth, for otherwise there would be no one to pray to me or to honor me. I need and enjoy your worship. But when you undertake to do evil I will thwart you. Man and wife shall be true to one another; ye shall pray to me; and ye shall not look upon the Moon when attending to nature's needs. I rejoice in your smoke. Ye shall not spend the evening in riotous play. When you undertake to do what I forbid I will deny you." This revelation of the law is a truly primitive mixture of morality and tabu, based upon the do ut des relationship of god and man so succinctly expressed in a Haida prayer recorded by Swanton: "I give this to you for a whale; give one to me, Chief."

TANTRA

Tantra has developed a system of thought which makes us see the universe as if it were within ourselves, and ourselves as if we were within the universe. Further the forces governing the cosmos on the macro-level are believed to govern the individual in the micro-level. According to tantra, the individual being and universal being are one. Thus all that exists in the universe must also exist in the individual body.
One of our major limitations in discovering this essential unity between the microcosm and the macrocosm is that we are accustomed to analyze the world into its separate parts, with the result that we lose sight of those parts' inter-relationship and their underlying unity. The way to fulfillment is through recognition of our wholeness linking man and the universe. This hence is the broad aim of Tantra art, achieved through visual symbols and metaphors.
Encompassing its whole pictorial range, Tantric imagery can be broadly grouped under three heads:
  • Geometrical representation of deities as Yantras
  • Representation of the Human Body as a Symbol of the Universe
  • Iconographic images

It's, only, 'Make Believe'.....

1. Beauty refers to the purity of heart and transparency of mind. Purity of heart means experiencing moments of transparency as if the self has disappeared. Selfless prayers, infused with the light of God, are beautiful.

2. Goodness means that prayer should be oriented towards good intentions, so we are not ashamed if it is revealed to other people or inhabitants of heaven.

3. Love is the key for genuine prayer, so a prayer must always be accompanied by love. A prayer without love is just a set of dead words. True prayer is for the sake of love and prayer is synonymous with love. Love is prayer and prayer is love, because God Himself is love.

Moby Dick,or,The Whale,Selected Chapters.30 'The Pipe'.

When Stubb had departed, Ahab stood for a while leaning over the bulwarks; and then, as had been usual with him of late, calling a sailor of the watch, he sent him below for his ivory stool, and also his pipe. Lighting the pipe at the binnacle lamp and planting the stool on the weather side of the deck, he sat and smoked.
In old Norse times, the thrones of the sea-loving Danish kings were fabricated, saith tradition, of the tusks of the narwhale. How could one look at Ahab then, seated on that tripod of bones, without bethinking him of the royalty it symbolized? For a Khan of the plank, and a king of the sea and a great lord of Leviathans was Ahab.
Some moments passed, during which the thick vapor came from his mouth in quick and constant puffs, which blew back again into his face. "How now," he soliloquized at last, withdrawing the tube, "this smoking no longer soothes. Oh, my pipe! hard must it go with me if thy charm be gone! Here have I been unconsciously toiling, not pleasuring- aye, and ignorantly smoking to windward all the while; to windward, and with such nervous whiffs, as if, like the dying whale, my final jets were the strongest and fullest of trouble. What business have I with this pipe? This thing that is meant for sereneness, to send up mild white vapors among mild white hairs, not among torn iron-grey locks like mine. I'll smoke no more-"
He tossed the still lighted pipe into the sea. The fire hissed in the waves; the same instant the ship shot by the bubble the sinking pipe made. With slouched hat, Ahab lurchingly paced the planks

Getting Older,none, the Wiser..






A young novice, the future emperor Tai Chung, asked the old master Huang Po:

"If we need to seek nothing, not even Buddha, Dharma and Sangha , why do you still prostrate yourself in front of the altar?"

"Though I don't seek the Buddha, Dharma or Sangha, it is my custom." answered the old master.

The future emperor insisted: "What purpose does it serve?"

The old master answered by a slap in the face of the young novice, who exclaimed: "How uncouth you are!"

And the old master answered: "Where do you find any distinction between uncouth and refined?"

Christie - San Bernadino (1971) HD 0815007

We walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until

The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
