Equations of pain (My Poetry)

A poem I wrote a few years back:

Addictive clinging

Equations of pain;

My nemesis is to remain

Forever entrenched in misery

Burning in a hellish eternal flame...

Slash performing "The Godfather" theme. (Expression of Sorrow)

I find all variations of the 'The Godfather' theme to be a great expression of sorrow.

Love all versions. Slash seems to go out of tune for a few seconds (he's stoned I guess!) but recovers soon. Love the dude!

The secret of survival if you ask me... is learning how to generate POWER in a state of sorrow, learning how to generate strength in a condition of weakness.

Death Part 1 (My Poetry)

(This is my first post, on a series on 'Death.' )

The following is a poem I wrote, when I was going through a bad phase, a few years back.

It is based on the 'The Doors' song, 'The End'.

This is the end
My only friend, the end;
Can you picture what will be
in a world beyond we see;

Will it be fine?
Or will I be
desperately in need
of a stranger's hand, in a strange land...

What if this act of madness is in vain?
What if death does not kill the pain?

What if my nemesis is to remain
forever entrenched in misery
burning in a hellish eternal flame...

Goddess In the Making

Caprice Bourret represented as a goddess in the making, using Photoshop CS2 9.02. (See Artwork above.)

In the graphic...her Manipura Chakra (Navel Chakra) is fully open. The Navel Chakra represents energy and dynamism. People who have endless amounts of energy have active Navel Chakras.

Her Vishudda Chakra (Throat Chakra) represents wisdom and powerful speech. In the graphic, her Throat Chakra is not fully open. Half-open Chakras do not mean the person has wisdom...in fact, a person who thinks/knows that his or her Chakras are open or opening tends to slip into psychosis, mania, violent mood swings, and delusions of grandeur.

The light at Caprice's Throat Chakra is dimmer than the light at her Manipura Navel Chakra. Represents that she is still evolving.

Her Ajna Chakra (slightly above her eyebrows) represents intelligence and analysis abilities. This forehead Chakra is dimmer than the other two (Throat and Navel) Chakras.

A slightly open forehead Chakra may delude the mind into thinking that it is better than the rest. The mind is expanding, adapting, and may slip into delusion in the process.

As time passes, the lights in these three Chakras will wax and wane. Chakra openings are never by the book.

Most people report that Chakra openings are always accompanied by psychosis, delusions of grandeur, wanting to save the world, 'chosen one' fantasies.

Chakra openings are also often accompanied by fearful hallucinations.

Sometimes the person who's Chakras are opening is not aware that his or her Chakras are opening.

The opening Chakras can turn the person into a 'Higher, Stronger Ego'...an ego collapse follows after which some stability comes.

Strong waxing and waning of the ego may happen many times before any real stability comes, but it definitely comes. The peace that passeth all understanding.

The Real Buddha

The above is TOOMAS ALTNURME's "Female Buddha". (Looks quite hot if you ask me! I plan to make my own versions of Female Buddhas out of Caprice Bourret and Angie Everhart...will post them on this blog when I am done.)

"The Buddha adapts to everything"...wrote Dr. Fritjof Capra Ph.D, a very close associate of Werner Heisenberg, in his cult book "The Tao Of Physics", a book on the close relationship between modern physics and ancient eastern mysticism.

I'd agree totally. The REAL Buddha is not a static entity. The REAL Buddha is a dynamic, ever expanding, ever evolving, powerful entity who does not bow to anything. The REAL Buddha adapts to everything. All torments, all suffering, all sorrow. The REAL Buddha does not lose his or her peace, calm, balance. It is impossible to destroy the real Buddha. If the real Buddha goes down, he or she bounces up as soon as possible.

Because the REAL Buddha's true nature is evolution, strength, expansion, growth, peaceful co-existence with the cosmos.

If the illusion of hell is built around the REAL Buddha, he or she will cope. Will make a home in the hellish illusion, and rise up from there. Back to where he or she belongs. In the realm of reality, in the realm of bliss.

The evolving Buddha's trajectory is often called the 'Evolving Spiral'. An iterative process.

Evolution out of chaos and delusion may confuse the evolving Buddha at times, may seem circular and destructive at times, but close scrutiny will reveal an upwardly evolving spiral.

The Observer Effect (Quantum Mechanics and Mysticism)

I am familiar with the 'Observer Effect' phenomenon, having studied Quantum Physics in one semester, but am now studying it in greater detail. Am studying it from the mystical point of view now.

It is not just Quantum Physicists who say what is expressed in the following writeup.

Descartes is a person who might have had ideas that are in tune with the "Observer Effect". (Need to confirm this.)

Will make another blog entry on this subject soon.

The following (quoted text) is written by Alex Paterson, and is from the page OBSERVER EFFECT.


___________________________________

THE OBSERVER EFFECT
Fundamental to contemporary Quantum Theory is the notion that there is no phenomenon until it is observed. This effect is known as the 'Observer Effect'.

The implications of the 'Observer Effect' are profound because, if true, it means that before anything can manifest in the physical universe it must first be observed. Presumably observation cannot occur without the pre-existence of some sort of consciousness to do the observing. The Observer Effect clearly implies that the physical Universe is the direct result of 'consciousness'.

This notion has a striking resemblance to perennial esoteric theory which asserts that all phenomena are the result of the consciousness of a single overlighting Creative Principle or the Mind of God.

There is a delicious irony in all this. Contemporary Western scientific theory postulates that human consciousness is solely a result of the workings of a physical brain, yet if the observer effect is correct, the physical matter comprising a brain cannot come into existence until it is the subject of observation by some pre-existing consciousness.

NOTE: For an excellent introduction to Quantum Physics in laymen's terms see:

1. 'A World with a View' by Ross Rhodes.

2. 'A Cybernetic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics' by Ross Rhodes.


FOOTNOTES:

1. The still-dominant "Copenhagen interpretation" of Quantum Theory developed by Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli, and others says two basic things:

a.) Reality is identical with the totality of observed phenomena (which means reality does not exist in the absence of observation), and

b.) Quantum mechanics is a complete description of reality; no deeper understanding is possible.

In effect, this says that observable phenomena are the whole of reality; and any speculation about a deeper underlying reality is meaningless. Bohr stated it unequivocally: "There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum description" (in Herbert 1985, 17).

Surya Namaskaram

Sun worship (Surya Namaskaram), best performed without clothes...one with the environment, freedom.

She Moves In Mysterious Ways...

A poem I wrote in college days, admiring coastal Karnataka weather. I love South India, it is way too beautiful...

"Mother Nature"

The orange glow of the evening sky
teases my senses

The trees dance with the wind
like the swaying hips of a graceful woman

I take a walk
and sit outside the 9th block

And watch
mother nature's alluring moves

Sometimes ferocious, sometimes tender...

Suddenly there is powerful thunder

And mother nature's gentle meanders

turn fast, furious, fierce, feisty...

I get mesmerised by her beauty

and wish

that the moment freezes eternally..

Devil or Satan & his cronies, and their Hell

An innocent girl stands and watches the ugly looming figure seducing her, trying to woo her...

(The following are Ozzy Osbourne lyrics from the song Mr. Tinkertrain.)

He sings...'Would you like some sweeties lil girl, come a lil closer...I'm going to show you a brand new world tonite...I've got a one way ticket...to take you to the other side....so come and dont feel shy...'

"I've got a palace full of fantasy...Ready made just for you and me...Once you're there I'm gonna take you for a ride...I got a one way ticket...To take you to the other side...I've got a one way ticket, so come along and don't be shy..."

So come along and play my game
You'll never be the same

Close the curtains and turn out the lights
Beneath my wing it's gonna be alright

A little secret just for you and me

I've got the kind of toys you've never seen

Manmade and a bit obscene

Little angel come and sit upon my knee.....

This story repeats itself everyday in this world. Usually in a psychological sense.

Hell seems to exist in everyday life, everyday relationships and not just in fantasy.

But it's not real.

The Devil is not real either.

What people call "The Devil" is nothing more than an anthropomorphism of emotional pain. Vampires, demons, demonesses etc. are also the same thing. Attribution of human like characteristics to emotions and phenomena.

Epilogue:

"When I reached hell, I realised there was nothing there. From a distance it is a very seductive horror show, with graceful vampiresses, evil temptresses, powerful demonesses with beautiful-ugly faces, sharp teeth and fantastic figures and blood dripping from their mouths....but when you reach there, you realise there is nothing there."
