I think your right Ted H. It would seem that it looks a lot like auto generated random words within a context parameter.

Kind of reminds me of stoned rock and roll lyrics from the 60`s. They were fun sometimes, and sent you off on a trip.

I looked at the videos jwx, and found that particular guy boring. To each their own, but I find Suburban Buddhism not so intriguing. To deep a well to stare down into for me anyway.

I don’t think Tim is around. I think these posts are autogenerated.

Assuming this is stream of consciousness, sort of talking in tongues, it still leaves me with no idea about any ideas behind it.

Sometimes ideas get in the way. Don’t get me wrong, they are important, but not everywhere and always. They are really just bridges (more like tightropes) between images. A different way of looking at the etymology of concept, Con (against) cept (taking, accepting, receiving). Believing in your ideas as absolutes leads to ossification. So get off your oss and wrestle with some images. The universe speaks in metaphors, the metaphor contains the message:

Try distilling ideas into images. Mull and ponder the image. Turn it every which way in your mind. See if it attracts any other images. Change the colors, give it a strange sound. If you get bored with it, don’t toss it into the trash. Put it up on the knick knack shelf. It may just gather dust, and rot away to nothingness there. Or maybe some day you will suddenly grab it off the shelf, proclaiming “Eureka!”. No rush. There’s nowhere to go.

The real Jesus and Jesus the Actor, I would like to point out, were just normal guys.

Props to Mary Magdalene though.

During the grueling 18 month Lord of the Ring film shoot, Elijah Wood said he frequently felt near collapse due to the stress and fatigue… yet he looked at Peter Jackson, who was working unimaginable hours beyond any of the other over-worked actors, and said to himself: “If Peter can do it, then I can to.” And do it he did.

Religion as we know it, all comes from Babylon circa 2200BC, and then spun into civil society constructs (Hammurabi) from the 18th century BC.

Are you trying to ‘do’ something by presenting these concepts of fake religious ideas ?
