Re Tolle: Let me make myself partially ...Hey Gang,<br /><br />Re Tolle: Let me make myself partially clear.<br /><br />I agree with Jake. Tolle preaches a truth that that has the magnitude of fact (absolute truth). I'm not being coy.<br /><br />Thing is, as universal truth his teachings are fundamentally superfluous, static.<br /><br />Like Mecca, or the Rosary, Tolle's 'wisdom' can be accessed anywhere at any time (in history), in any place by anyone.<br /><br />Therefore the 'message' of Tolle is that it isn't really Tolle's message at all. Instead he is iconic focal point that - as a media sales pitch - 'distracts' the listener and reader from the 'ground figure' of his message/massage/Mass Age.<br /><br />I have spoken ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271416381264855047.post-79755484584734387972009-10-14T11:06:20.617-07:002009-10-14T11:06:20.617-07:00Shaman,

We walk shoulder to shoulder.
Tao = 23 (...Shaman,<br /><br />We walk shoulder to shoulder.<br /><br />Tao = 23 (6 cubed is 216. Tao is T2 A1 O6) Joyce is 11 and 22.<br /><br />I really dig yer Taoist sensibilities. The block of wood thing is a nice analogy. We differ in the notion that a person (say the affable Jon Kidd) can only be Jon Kidd.

I would like to say however that I have nothing derogatory to say about you at all. <br /><br />The greatest Art is an uncut block of wood -Lao Tzu <br /><br />If I were to draw a picture of Jon Kidd... And I'm talking an undeniable picture of him, unmistakeably him. Then it could only be him. If I draw a smiley face, then it could be anybody. And uncut block of wood could be anything, if I carved a horse, then a horse it is. We have problems interpreting our own art. As YSP so perfectly illustrated... <br /><br />Purple Hand Puppet=Purple Yogurt Slinger...<br /><br />I personally think by not putting the word "I" in your work.

You have returned a thousand fold to me anything I hoped to achieve with this particular post. I really mean it.<br /><br />toure...<br /><br />You get me. I just want to make something beautiful. The best way I know to do this is to somehow encorporate my audience into a mystery, something I don't understand, that they can solve and then explain to me.<br /><br />You have apprehended the hidden meditator I wildly self-deny. For me this is profound. Your general appreciation is on the money, too, and yet you still find me out of reach.<br /><br />Truth is I'm just a wannabe, a cheap hood coping with ecstasy. My Art is the means to that everlasting pastime.<br /><br />The real talent is at fivebodies.com<br /><br />Shaman,<br /><br />If you're an idiot, I'm glad I don't know any smart people. Your comment is poetic and incisive. I will re-read it again.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I confess there are no arrows in my words.<br /><br />Please consider my proof as prelude to a question I have for you, or any other reader.<br /><br />Proof: There is not a single word of criticism aimed at any person or pseudo-cultural manifest anywhere in 'In Arkham As I Lumber'.<br /><br />Instead one will find<br /><br />- no personal pronoun ( 'I' that refers to the author)<br />- the celebration of a great song through re-imagination<br />- the consist use of rhetorical eprime<br />- the celebration of YSP's film (in spite of the filmaker's naivete)<br />- relentless humor that is void of grievance<br />- a non threatening mystery to solve<br />- fantastical and richly complex sync work<br />- sub-textual self-deprication<br />etc...<br /><br />The sole negative value is Tolle as Death and is not really a negative. Death kicks iz-azz, my biznitch! I love all the cards in the deck and propose no revision. On the 'cute and full of shit' I call a gimme - I was defending against the mighty Kotze, down from his golden chariot to defend world wide best seller E.T. Besides, applies to babies and I love babies.<br /><br />In light of these findings... my question.<br /><br />Why does my work elicit such a prickly and parochial response? You've got to admit it's a teaser.<br /><br />I am in no way defensive here guys (and goylze), but I am a little confusterated. Seen in this light you must surely sense the mystery I am after.<br /><br />On Pins and Needles I remain<br /><br />Da WWWizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271416381264855047.post-53587624646779475732009-10-13T22:38:02.213-07:002009-10-13T22:38:02.213-07:00By the way I'm and idiot...By the way I'm and idiot...A Few Shots to Shamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125390587502844039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271416381264855047.post-64679897732646567362009-10-13T22:35:39.643-07:002009-10-13T22:35:39.643-07:00I'm more of a Taoist than a Joycian.... I beli...I'm more of a Taoist than a Joycian.... I believe in making things simple and not complicated... I feel that this is key in a large percentage of Kotze's success(yes I'm talking like your not in the room, sir)... However I respect being anti-simple as an aspect to not wanting to be heard.... I feel though that as unimportant as your analysis is trying to be, it makes sense. It really is quit basic. Your attempt in bucking is obvious, your want of the response you got, said by your own lips, is a cry for attention. You want the consciousness to know your there, but you don't want it to look. Your want to be insane, makes you an observer of your own sanity. "Mha ha ha... They fell right in to my trap."<br /><br />Psychiatrist listen to words.... The words most spoken are the most valid. "Masturbation"... "Please read"... <br /><br />The work above is dead on.... From a certain point of view...<br /><br /><br />We see things from the point of observation we are capable of seeing, at that time of observation. That's why movies change... Because we do. Toure sees Qliphoths because he is desperately trying to find their relevance at this point. Kotze sees only giz thrown in the face of death.... <br /><br />And then something else because his perception is incapable of standing still, but I digress. <br /><br />I hear nonsense at first and don't want to read further... For I've got other shit to do, then I see the twist and turns of a trickster poet out of water. <br /><br />You want me to read multiple times so that I finally get it... However you roll the dice in not getting it read at all... <br /><br />But, that's ok to you, or so you tell your self, because for some reason you still write. One writes for others to read. <br /><br /><br />Your not breathing in this work.... You haven't found that groove that so pleases you, that you get something back from it other than the self mutilation you wallow in.<br /><br />Fish flopping around. <br /><br />Your not wanting to hear the collective, once again by your own lips. Others come here to find themselves in others work.... Cute and full of shit. <br /><br />Your welcome hear anytime my friend, find comfort in hiding amongst the trees of Sherwood.... But, please make arrows so that others may shoot.... And realize that your further than some and not as most... At least that's how I see ME/WE.<br /><br />PS The third read of it was the best by the way.... But, you already knew that.<br /><br />Excitement.... Not Excrement.<br /><br />Epiphany..... Not Epilepsy. <br /><br />Love and Thanks.A Few Shots to Shamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125390587502844039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271416381264855047.post-60169099641240759712009-10-13T20:56:53.214-07:002009-10-13T20:56:53.214-07:00Okay, I think I'm beginning to follow some of ...Okay, I think I'm beginning to follow some of this. let me know if i'm smellin what you're cookin here;<br /><br />the medium is brought to new life as it is killed, in the same way the ego is transmuted as it is cut down [and re-realized] by synch. the contradiction-play exhibited via the phallus and womb [and inhale-exhale] Validates the use of complexity to reach simplicity, madness to reach sanity.<br /><br />through the all to get back to the one?<br /><br />i still feel like much of this over my head... am i getting closer to what you mean to communicate?<br /><br />there has Got to be a way to explain this to the un-initiated...<br /><br />your patience is appreciatedtourehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390479522471190544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271416381264855047.post-57811498534795870432009-10-13T19:58:10.544-07:002009-10-13T19:58:10.544-07:00Thanks Wiz.
