monumentally new moment

just started another one
http://compostartist.blogspot.com it has some lbo-talk conversation snippets for starters (from the week before last)

ps: on the 4th of august another blog saw the light:

http://poetpiet.tripod.com/blog includes speculations as to why lycos dumped me.

.. . might it be bycause all my blogs so far shun their blogging software and they were deeply hurt I wouldn't use and/or become a payfordigital space member?

those 2 come on top of 3 earlier blogspot.com sites:
wellbredrock = evening reading
compostartist = cloudy day reading
powdertowell = sunny day (or behind unbudgeably in too bright and unshadable light situated monitor) reading

... .and another 5 places at web-log.nl (posts there in dutch mostly; these pages have the nasty drawback of not allowing discriminate text selection and so the following sites are as good as dead unless they change that):
wwwoord
sjeesasverlostkristallen
gezondverstand
teelteelt
gekkestek

on top of the (pretty much equally) unused possibility to just send me an e-mail (though, for folks who don't know me yet, I'd prefer close collabies in matters like large swaths of landscape nurturing community living).

Anybody know a good name for the 11th and last of my blogs?

pretty-lonely-for-a-dead-on-charismatic? thisblogismylastbet?

is Eric reciprocating my interest in him? (+ note on lycos)

He certainly must have noted I noted him if he ever used to peer into the mirror googled (before loads of stuff disappeared from the caches some weeks after being blocked abruptly by my former host Lycos-europe*)

http://www.sociologyesoscience.com/ E.P.Wijnants July 23, 2005: Humans tend to see themselves as living in a civilization. And they understand civilization to be centred on a shared destiny, often called the public good. Today our obsession with a certain kind of austere, abstracted measurement is closely tied to the idea of a civilization that believes it is being led by economics. That sort of leadership involves a bizarre contradiction: an aggressive certainty that these economics can be measured with great precision versus a passive certainty that they can only very marginally be shaped. Aggressive on the details, passive on the larger picture.

*A plausible speculation on the discrepancy between referrers (almost all via google) at this former site (over 300 everyday for just the para- and preblog url, ../logbriefer.htm, never mind the plus or minus 20 files per year since the turn of the century) and the visitor numbers lycos' own stats showed just as consistently (15 a week for the whole site) : the latter number refers to (ad)clickthroughs and the fact that these numbers remained low made them jilt and chuck me unless the fact that I crossed the 50 free megabites without volunteering to pay for the overweight has something to do with it .... . anybody know?

highest holiest of rainbow chumpchamp shamen strikes again

http://www.livejournal.com/users/northanger/82004.html I like the new northanger a lot, specially since she comes at a time of all time high attention to dust plumes on one of her fave foci .. .. keep it up and your peteypiet (tweettweet) will keep up with your upkeep

Here's the big man's new sermon; he's following the classic rules:

Empasize importance of your work by claiming it is parenthesized by solar flares 91 days apart (8 years ago)

Complain that this particular revelation has been taken for the artistic liberty rides which aren't faithful nor respectful enough of the original; hell, it ain't even been done produced in Europe (though it came out in Brazil and Japan), all due the downdumb of cellphone and internet.

End with a euphoric upbeat read out (you know, the feudal kind of royal/nobility title read-off; heck you can do it yourself, prick a pin in the middle of a round piece of paperstack; colour each sprocket with a different amount of number/teeth and set time a ticking; garanteed new read out for aeons!!!!! Hop, that's credit creation in action for ya. I laugh and you already knew all this; wait till I tell my fans.

Here's a sample (from lawoftime.org):
For a humanity trapped in its accelerating densification these magical mind expanding tools are of the utmost evolutionary necessity. But it seems that less and less people actually care. Their lower selves trapped in the quagmire of mass consciousness, on a daily basis they experience the shrinking of their will to transcend or to exert in something that is truly from beyond the matrix. This is a problem, the solution of which lies in the understanding and exercise of planet sorcery.

2. Planet Sorcery and the AC-CA Plate ShiftWaking up Single Luminous White "A" by the Power of the Original 144,000 "... It is important to set your motivation from the outset and to maintain a very strong motivation, while abandoning all self-interested and temporary motivation." Yangthang Tulku, Dzogchen, p. 4

Indefatigably, we move onward! Planet sorcery, you say? Yes, planet sorcery - how else are we going to tame the demons of lower self that prevail over the affairs of Velatropa 24.3? The introduction of planet sorcery as a method allows us to get more profoundly to this matter of the Way of Conduct and the Way of Wielding Power. Sorcery is the method of taming lower energizes and converting them for higher purposes. We are talking about such an action on a planetary scale - hence planet sorcery, a basic principle for activating the templates of Cosmic History (See below, Section 4).

......
We are only trying to bring to attention that at this stage in the closing of the cycle we need a new time of action and activism. The revolution will not be won on the Internet. The telepathic tests that are necessary to engage the rainbow bridge must be done in living biopsychic energy fields. The new society will not be organized by e-mail, but by getting together in councils and sacred circles and by assigning tasks to living beings to begin to transform their lives with new patterns of thought and behavior. We must begin to remove ourselves from the material energetic force field of the monitor screen back into the garden and planning councils. We must restore the balance. We need to breathe fresh air, plant corn and study and discuss matters together by the hearth or by the fireside, where it all began, in a time so long ago.

4th of august:
Although 'space mere matter but time of mind' Arguelles (coming to Switserland soon) has lately held back on and retreated from touting the Khalifite version of numerical or mathematical miracles in the Quran, the socalled 19 code he is not disavowing his conviction that him and Mohammed are pals from way back as a former one yet and so I consider the following related and timely enough to post here:

Comment at a northanger (livejournal) blog item: beware the sun/moon equivalencers, equivalencizers, equivaluators such as the stonehenge erectors (per whats his name), the rashid khalifa factions and those opposed, the ones opposing portions such as the author of 'The Miracle of Nineteen Between the Backwardness of Muslims and the Perversities of Impostors’who also wrote: www.islamnoon.com/language/en_studies.htm# The Decline of Israel 2022 AD

-------2020 Visions? Some while back, http://www.beadgaming.com/AnalysisHawali.html I suggested that Al-Qaida's strategic timeline might be responsive to a comment made by Sheikh Safar al-Hawali at the end of his book, Day of Wrath, to the effect that Jerusalem would likely return to Muslim hands in 2012. Al-Hawali drew this conclusion from his study of Biblical prophecies, and as bin Laden has been known to read al-Hawali's writings, the possibility exists that he might think in terms of the Sheikh's apocalyptic timeline.

This DoublesQuotes presents an even longer timeline, juxtaposing the strategic thinking of Makkawi (ie Sayf al-Adel) of al-Qaida with an apocalytpic date from Sheikh Bassam Jarrar, a Hamas leader whose prophetic predictions are to be found in his book The Wonders of 19: Between the Inattentiveness of the Muslims and the Errors of the Falsifiers. Hamas is not al-Qaida, and I am not claiming a direct connection between the two dates -- merely suggesting that these two quotes between them are suggestive of an even longer possible strategic overview than the one I proposed earlier.
I am grateful to Anne Marie Oliver and Paul Steinberg, whose brilliant, poetic book The Road to Martyrs' Square (Oxford, 2005) tipped me off to Jarrar's work. posted by Charles Cameron at

of interest to Reza et al: http://www.sociologyesoscience.com/muslimm/

Explaining Muslim Neofundamentalism

Exploding the Middle-East Myth

Jihad: Who is Culture?

Probably the fact of the location of beliefs and values in culture adds no additional barrier that the subject must escape to contact objectivity. Thus what marks the special nature of Islamic fundamentalism, is its modernism. Like E. P. Wijnants pointed out in early 2003 in his two part essay on various radical groups, the intellectual roots and historical precedents of today's Islamic revival can be traced back to Sayyid Jamâl al-Din (1833-97), called al-Afghani. And entail a closeted form of the Western modernism that it so publicly claims to oppose. This included also the Deoband movement that emerged from central India in the wake of the ill-fated revolt against the British in 1857. Founded by Mohammed Zasim Nanautawi (1833-77) and Rashid Ahmed Gangohi (1829-1905), it set up madrassas in India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

piet: All true but too conventional in focus; not quite long wave enough in the sense of showing how close the ME monotheisms are inextricably entangled, attempts at extraction by the likes of Hamas scholar Bassam Jarrar (www.nashiri.net/imag march 2005 has 2 Jarrar articles) for instance notwithstanding. His harangue about semitc sibling Israel's sins (not allowing enough fallowness ((sabbath)) in other words overgrazing, over demografixyfucksing) claims they will some time soon now lead to the third chase out as sure as the Quraniclockwork (which Jews ((who prefer bible code distraction and)) won't count with/by/on or countenance) ticks on even while going down toilets and such. However, the abjabobinariouslessly abject way he casts his net (starting simple enough to lure the unawarare with the odds and even trick for instance ((serial order of suras, chapter two in the 'numerical miracles' pamphlet freely available from multiple websites))) betrays the shortcircuit absolutist pretence these people suffer which if we let'm cleaves whole worlds into famously and variously named cliffedges and destroys all synthesis, systemicism and synergy (counting beyond dualities, 2s, etcetera), a perversion of the true cleaveage leavesage .. .. hey, I AM a leafsage come to think of it; dust into rain blowing archaonizer .. thought I'd be explicit about it for a new monumental moment since I despair about others taking such perfect notice. Quit substituting for multi-micro-cultural soil populant demographix with way too specifically singling out ID attempts and favoritisms of the digital abstract or even human kind; leave proliferation and abundance up to the subtly hoppering and size segratory ache shaking earthans: soil organisms; all we can do is feed life with death and that doesn't mean putting the former to the latter like trying to drag a horse to water either.


Chapter 2
The Miracle of the Serial Order of the Suras in the Holy Qur’an

Since the early centuries Muslims have paid attention to numbers in the Qur’an. Dr Ghanem Al-Hamad, the verifier of the book Al-Bayan fi Ad Ayel-Qur’an (‘The Inventory of the Qur’anic Verse Count’) by Abu Amru Al-Dani mentions 36 books on the science of Qur’anic numbers, from Kitab Al-‘Adad (‘The Book of Numbers’) by Ata’ Ibn Yasaar (103 AH) to Zahr Al-Ghurar fi ‘Adad Ayat Al-Suwar (‘The First Blossoms of Verse Count’) by the Andalusian scholar Ahmad A-Salami (747 AH). This interest has not flourished sufficiently through the ages to yield definitive results but as the Qur’an is the word of God Almighty who created and perfected the universe and counted everything, it is to be expected that the book will be different from conventional books written by fallible humans. However, with the ascent of human consciousness, people today are more capable of criticism and evaluation through modern sciences and other means.
Scholars have differed in their understanding of the order of Qur’anic Suras. The majority have maintained that the order of Suras is Tawqifi, that is by command of the Apostle (Peace be upon him) on the instruction of the Angel Jibreel. Sayuuti believed that the order was an act of revelation except Suras 8 (‘Anfal’) and 9 (‘Tauba’). Some believe that it was the independent judgement of the Prophet’s companions, though the evidence for this is insubstantial and this matter is not for elaboration in this context. We merely observe that the opinion that regards the order of the Suras as not being a revelation is based on implicit evidence, while belief in the order inspired by revelation rests on direct evidence. In any case, our intention is to present mathematical evidence to support the revelation viewpoint and, in fact, we may even go beyond that to assert that the order of verses is an act of revelation that is in itself evidence for Prophethood and an aspect of miracle.
There are many publications in contemporary intellectual scholarship related to Qur’anic miracles. These include the rhetorical, the scientific, the legal, etc. However, what we today call the “numerical miracle” is still controversial, which is why it has been out of favor with scholars and researchers. This is despite the fact that there have been partly successful attempts to study the subject, such as the one by Abdul Razaq Nawfal and the Jordanian researcher Abdullah Jalghoom in his book ‘The Secrets of the Order of the Qur’an: A Contemporary Reading’. Here we will acquaint the reader with the most important points made in his book and with what we have done by way of development and follow up.

I just asked http://hyperstition.abstactdynamics.org author Reza if he knows any of the mentioned authors

The PANfachefuckwits and cultoids are of course very welcome to comment also . .. . but . .. I am sorry .. I can't afford to give you the pleasure of watching me hold my breath here.

starting at 75 people, to gather takes a permit

"According to media reports of the June 28 proceedings, encampments of as little as twenty campers that have contact with other campers in the national forest can be cited for failure to organize themselves into a "group" as was the case with some of the accused who were found guilty by U.S. Magistrate John Kaull. This chilling precedent could apply to any family who camped in the woods and made friends with other campers a mile down the trail." http://moongulch.net/pipermail/gathering_info

Well, my differences with the family on the 'failure to organize' front are of a wholly different from legal nature yet as a way to urge halfway fine folks to mature I can see some convergence between my take on legitimacy and the state's state (federal) idea of legality down the line . . .. .way waaaaaay down the line .. .. .

I've written about (how to get on the good side of) the anonymity (as a way to ensure a healthy dynamic between unity/diversity/) conundrum enough to resist temptation to repeat my self yet again*. The family's refusal to bow down/answer/give in to the official, final and fateful status of spokesperson/contract signees is a healthy impulse, but that said, I don't see why one shouldn't set/draft up ideal sit/rules and in/under which signing would be no prob, even welcomed.

* ughgnnngnghhhggrrrhhhhaaah, nope, can't restrain meself much longer .. . . lemme tell ya, there's a world of difference between anynymity from the top down ((erased identity and dirty tracks covered really; floating signifiers (((like power terms of some status or other))) are only so many bombs lifted aloft and sure to drop unless supported by substantial and preferably living (d)rafters)) vs from the bottom up ((consistently voluntarizing for lack of a better term)); perhaps a current thread about possibly shared (etym.) roots of terror and terra (shake/shock, dry/drought)) is apt but am thinking more in the direction of a present convergence ((vs the by contrast more and more neglected, rudely ignored and otherwise off( )ended humic aspects of humanitarianism))).

Maturing into permanent enclaves of the sort hinted at and alluded to in the bottom of the next post down would leave little, by me anyways, to be desired.

ps: speaking of permanent rainbow gatherings, here's the best we do so far: http://www.wildernesscollective.com/page01.htm
geocities.com/a_rainbow_way_of_life/about.html
I linked to Monte Venero (in spain) a (long) while ago and am acquainted with one of the driving forces there who's traded his staying put and building powers in for saving money (trade in wool blankets, artisanship of trinket and tipi construction) for travelling with a warm relation.

rainbow gathering EU (germany this year)

http://daslebenistgruen.de/rainbow/

It will be in the hills of Thueringen, close to the former border between east and west Germany, east of Meiningen, south of Bad Salzungen. . ..

NEWSFLASH: Childbirth has taken place in the wild, under those primitive circumstances wherein the rainbow family likes to be immersed in order to feel secure; now if a tree thinning circus would move every month or so, in order to end up with inhabitably branched out and leafy spaciousness with patches of sun reaching incredibly well mulched (and of course lustily bedusted) ground I wouldn't begrudge them the seemingly wasteful ways open firemanagement entails. .. .

.. . .anyway, due to a consensus (of some sort or another, I never agreed to it but wasn't there to block it either) i can't post the directions; they happen to sit in a mailinglist archive that will take your subscription: http://lists.open4all.net/mailman/listinfo/vision5 . .. and at a whole bunch of others of course: http://www.rainbowinfo.ch for instance

Even at the german rainbow forum http://www.rainbowinfo.de/ folks are wondering .. . where the hell do we go .. . .?

I shall post the 5th message in thread (babys at rainbow) with that endearing example I started this post with:
http://www.rainbowinfo.de/phorum/read.php?f=25&i=60&t=60
Hallo liebe Schwester!
Bin zurzeit am Österreich Rainbow und hier sind viele Familien mit Kindern in jedem Alter. Rainbow ist für Kinder genauso wie für Erwachsene eine unglaubliche Bereicherung. Gestern hatten wir eine Geburt am Rainbow. Die Eltern entschieden sich unter Anderem dafür, weil sie sich am Rainbow beschützt und geborgen fühlen. Es war für uns alle ein wunderbares Geschenk!
Liebe, Licht und Liebe
Seoo



Elsewhere at this forum in a thread mostly in english: http://www.rainbowinfo.de/phorum/read.php?f=25&i=3&t=3 Rainbow meeting in Germany
Rainbowcircle wishes respect for our consensus not to put the direction of the place in to the internet.You can get information by sending a mail to
gathering05@web.de , via rainbow telephone in Plessa (number on this page, preperation eur. gathering) or from your local focalizer.All infos will be shared in the family but please dont write the place on this side.There are good reasons to do so,Thank you viktor

There is a poster/flyer/drawing/description which has a phone number if you're really ansy

.. .. .. .. meanwhile, over across the big pond, Karin is still at it, helping people lose their questions and pick up some confidence and pointers to comfort, love you Karin: http://moongulch.net/pipermail/gathering_info

Mmmmm, .. . .she's a rather split subject cause once her helpfulness (see previous post) has been succesful and she's gotten/directed/eased/delivered you out of your troubled mind you may find yourself beset, surrounded or at least af- and/or confronted with stuff like this: http://users.netonecom.net/~cyberpsychos/cpsub.html "Mind you, they're examples only. Nothing psychological is set in stone, nor should it be." -- yeah right, that's exactly the type of inversive distraction schiz person of pyromaniacal fire walk and worship would say, hogging the rock (cr-), saying 'move along, nothing to see here, . .. .oh look over there (-ash) ----

Karin offers 6 'crash worship' links and 9 literary ones from the list at her own place


Time for a new 'gratefully receiving' or 'eager acceptance' theory of my own:

When folks fail to integrate/contain/package/store fire (tweak the reciprocality of outer world, phizzical manifs of the old one way tide from solar to solid into a more mutual meet halfway kind of deal, iow, help the oxides to meet the heat in/as reducabling crucibles ((puddles, compost heaps)) halfway in order to come up with hormone balancing, invigorating sustenance) nature has to perform this trick the crude and rude way she is wont and been known to use, namely by way of volcanism . . .. and perhaps the way culture and consciousness focuses on outer extreme and negative fire (defined here as everything that isn't soil building/deepening is ecologically damaging), iow, exothermal flames is in a vicious circle with and a reflection/indication of the declining 'earths' (grounding trace minerals as Julius Hensel called them) .. .. .. perhaps this even gets reflected in the way fire elements are 'exposed' in people's charts .. .

In light of all of the above, it seems no less a paradox that my vision for rainbow (to stick to the jargon) is to mature (rather than simply starting over with a different cast) into simply and effectively deal with freshly and flamelessly manufactured ashes (paramagnetic dusts, sludges, milks, sprays, etcetera) to consciously mimic/prevent volcanism and (in)form sanity in ways that should be as clear as a clod (odd word that; this attempted lowland expression translation plays on cute ass/sweet, concentration, clear crystallization and cleverness; the sugar ndustry in the EU, that least logical of all subsidy gobblers, has just been told to shape up) to anyone who (has taken the time and) proved himself (not to me alas*) able to keep up with what I am on (and on and on) about.

* perhaps good it doesn't mean it keeps me up (with corrrespondence and the like); matter of fact my upkeep has been characterized by reluctance and resistance if not dissociaton toward what i more and more emphatically and filling damn near fuller than full time insisted on keeping up since day one and i am ashamed to say I haven't grown out of it to earn my keep with pleaching, permaculture and percrushion (gee, been a long time since that word rolled onto the screen; http://members.tripod.com/~poetpiet/rainbow_fabul_n_ation.htm here is proof that google refuses to acknowledge anyone else's ownership of the term ha ha!!!! Just kidding) which is one reason why I felt most comfortable taking no more (than a minimum) to keep (myself) up , iow, no more than what keeps a person subsisting on income/support below poverty levels; it's just too bad the super-rich would rather invest in outrageous yachts than little experimental communities big enough to be viable on a rotation route a la John Michell basis. It's been too long since the likes or Robert Owen lived and breathed.
