Maybe she’s saving her ‘religious’ aspirations for Popedom/Poopdom.
I have never seen her wear a hat, but I’ll bet she would slap that fish head gear on presto pronto. -

The death of sexagisemal…. and the waning of the continuous in favour of the discrete. Sadly this also makes waves, harmonics and frequency more inaccessible.

I can believe it, esp. depending on who the father really is [wink wink nudge nudge]. The claimed ‘real Prince Harry’ – James Francis Alexander – in the photo looks more like he could be Diana’s son than does the current Prince Harry, who bears little resemblance to either Diana or Charles.

Clyde Lewis of Ground Zero finally gets to talk with Quinn and Jason about the nightmarish future that is AI .. (recorded 22nd May)
Quinn begins at around 54 mins .. It’s a GREAT show and well worth a listen ..

Interesting thanks.

I love a good Quinn session; it’s like smoking a huge doob with your paranoid friend’s of your friends and then going home to write morose observations in a diary

You really can’t stand Quinn can you Baz .. Care to elaborate somewhat? ..

“Our data demonstrate that the pioneering designs of Cremonese violins exhibit voice-like qualities in their acoustic output.”
http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/05/16/1800666115-
Yes, but the human voice should not try to mimic a musical instrument, IMO.
I never liked Opera, no matter how highly others thought of Opera. I still hate it.
In addition, music is supposed to be a universal language. — not some kind of aid in singing.
The moment you introduce voice/language, you are making music into a tribal thing IMO.
But…[Read more]-
This kind of singing is universal (no words from any language), pleasant, and fun!

On Wiggling Ears and Curling Tongues
https://www.koshland-science-museum.org/sites/default/files/uploaded-files/Inventory_of_Your_Traits.pdf-
I’ve got a parent employed by ORNL. When I first heard Dr. Farrell mention this theme in connection to ORNL’s research my alarm bells went off. I remember multiple times as a little girl my parent demonstrating they could wiggle their ears, and seeing if us kids could. I occasionally still wonder if this was purely coincidental. I still can’t…[Read more]

“Rapprochement with Russia is now a core policy objective in Berlin, according to a senior German official with knowledge of the chancellery’s strategy.”
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-17/trump-s-global-disruption-pushes-merkel-closer-to-putin-s-orbit-
One has to wonder, could this possibly have been a deliberate objective of Trump’s? Given the monumental establishment forces arrayed to stop any overt moves to make good on his promises for peaceful relations with Russia and a smaller military presence in the world, could his wildly unpredictable behaviors actually belie a kind of Byzantine…[Read more]

In say 2021, the Anglosphere oligarchs, as the balance between warmongers and pragmatists leans away from the former, we could see a “grand reconciliation” with Russia, with all the due theatrics (though the pragmatists, as long as they are just another emanation of the debt-creation system, will not in reality be very peace-loving either!).
-
To be sure, I’m not saying Trump is a peace-loving saviour. But with all the superficial and rather flimsy warmonger victories (hiring John Bolton, the anemic Syria strikes, et al.), the real long term victories appear to be going towards the pragmatists.
-
Remember, Trump tends to surround himself, in certain positions, with people with whom he does not always agree. Those people stay until they are no longer useful to Trump. Consider Tillerson at the State Dept. where he ‘cleaned-out’ some of the folks that were no longer welcome in Trump’s Administration, and eventually Tillerson was no longer needed.

Just teasing. Dr. Farrell is a very upright man, and he deserves WAY MORE than the insignificant financial help we might give him.

The psychological elements of self-discipline in this and other Medieval orders would be worth studying. Would these techniques work today? Or have certain “innate” character traits changed too much?

The tears are a product of “affekt”. And Gurdjieff, in “Meetings with Remarkable Men”, refers to this skill in composers rooted in ancient tradition.

The latest Dialogue mentions movie sound tracks and “affekt”. Two of the greatest composers are Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone (the latter is shown below conducting “Mission”)

Thanks Dana. I was listening just this morning! Few composers can bring me to tears and Morricone is one. Have you heard the album ‘Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone’? Cinema Paradiso! I like Rota, too . . . those wonderful old Italian films . . . Here’s a playlist with some of their best:…[Read more]

Great stuff .. love it .. Sure beats that hideous chintzy baroque crap ..
It’s Thomas Newman for me .. His music ALWAYS moves me .. It’s so haunting .. so simple .. so deep and oh so so beautiful .. “The Shawshank” .. “The Green Mile” and a hundred others .. Link .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ7DVOGRoaQ&list=PL2FE8CA2A10C8EEDF-

I just finished reading his new book “Real Magic” and there is no doubt he is echoing opinions on “NON LOCAL”. He joins people like Julian Jaynes and Thomas Nagel who are “on to it”, and this research will only increase in coming years.
-
Julian Jaynes & Magic? You mean voices in the head? I am not aware of him dabbling in the occult.
-
If you have Julian Jaynes book, go to page 21, which is the first page of the first chapter, he says.

We are also quite conscious that all this wonderful set of operations and contents that we all call consciousness is located somewhere in our head.
On critical examination, all of these statements are false.
