If only you could read it in the original.. heh

I gather all kinds of facts this way- or should I call them opinions.  Too many sources to remember.. but generally I do.

I was showing some students the nature of multiplying by the number 9, and the results..

9 X 2 = 18, 1 +8 = 9

9X 4 = 36, 3 +6 = 9

9 X 32 = 288, 2 + 8 +8 = 18, 1 + 8 =9.

I cited my source.  It was from Sesame Street.

Of course it is far more interesting when Muppets are singing and dancing about numbers.. heh

I wonder if anyone here has lived "in the moment". Time and space kind of irrelevant, just melting away- it happens to people with absolutely zero drugs involved at times.

 Squirrels are connected to Everything.  All you had to do was ask..  :)

I know that it is Wednesday.. let's call it an extended Saturday Night..

I loved these ladies as well.. they loved Zepplin

Here is the darkest night of them all.. I don't think that anybody else could "cover" this tune.. without mindless wailing..

maybe we should have three glasses of wine and philosophy on a Wednesday night..

Those guys had so much fun n performing...they all smiled frequently on stage. Huge fan here...as if you couldn't tell.

Yes, you can tell.  Look at the drummer on the Comfortably Numb clip..  he's like.. God I hope that I can keep up.. and it is a slow song

Undertow.. escaping.. somehow I think that the Cult escaped me..

just too much. Me that is.

Love watching Pulse...some of the best post Roger Waters live footage ever....

Me too.  This is pure blues on acid.. and they can play it with a smile on the face..

Good for you.. despite feeling old I bet it makes you feel pretty young though..

The night, the darkest of them all.. Led Zepplin described this once..

Enough of my Saturday Night.  How is yours?

What's up?

I've always liked the Dark Side of the Moon.. this is perhaps the darkest..

Any Philosophical questions should be addressed to:

The Squirrel

New Knoxville, Ohio.

They (whoever "they" are) will know where to send it.

From the many ones of myself, guided (?) by a supposed organizing principle of all my parts to the corresponding parts that is "you" (?)

Have a nice evening.

Thought that it would make a nice sequel.  Three glasses of wine.. I'm ready to discuss Philosophy.. heh

Yep.

Forgiveness is for the forgiver. Forgiveness is never for the forgiven.

For the awakened, reality and truth are presented on the end of a club whacked upside the head. The ringing bell is violent disillusionment. Clarity is a brutal, unexpected visitor.

Though finally free and clear of the cult leader or the NPD, the awakened, for a time, may imprison themselves in a cage of resentment.

Real healing for the awakened survivor begins with letting go of the resentment, the anger.

However, the survivors of VPW and LCM and the NPD are fully justified in their anger and resentment. When I say fully justified, I mean completely, completely complete in justification.

The awakened survivor need not forget. Never, ever forget! Moving on with healing doesn’t mean ignoring the fraud, the spiritual crimes and the spiritual and physical rape.

Examining and analyzing quacks like LCM and VPW is important for many reasons, including healing, but the examining and analyzing need not imply a lack of forgiveness or inability to move on. This is important, noble work for the current and next generations.  

Forgiveness is letting go of the righteously justified anger. It is for the forgiver only.

The forgiven will certainly get his on that day. 

In a sense, I think that this is true.. but still.. in a way.  I think that thinking that the forgiven will get his on that day- is a condition on forgiveness..  but that I can put conditions on forgiveness for the forgiver.. I would not dream of doing so..

I think that it is all up to the forgiver..

I't trying to figure out what it was that we supposed to actually have known..

I dunno.  I think that it is over-rated.  Freedom of Will that is..

There are times..

I've chosen to lay down in front of the steam roller-  and yet it comes.  Will I do it again?  Probably.

Nice evening it has been here.. I am at peace.  What about you? 

I've seen a few others presented with it and turned it down flat.  Maybe that will be their only usage of it..

Paradox, isn't it?
