gav says: whinging pommy bastards? are you an aussie in disguise andre....you sound like barry mackenzie (and if anyone knows who that is i will take all my hat and pants off).
Andre: Am afraid they'll have to come off mate! 'The Adventures of...'. Never forget the scene where Barry is lost in this English pub in London, getting real desperate, seeing nothing but Poms, when, suddenly he hears some Aussies talking in a corner and he exclaims: 'At last...humans!!!' Whatever happened to Barry (apart from singing the theme song of that dreadful Neighbours)? gav: are you a scandy in china? i am quite taken with your measured and humble posts - you seem a good sort, as they say down under. Andre: No I am not a scandy (if I understand you correctly) I am Dutch by birth, but a bit of a funny (as in peculiar) one.Never felt comfortable there, nor with the language and when I was 9 years old told my mum so.It still took another 10 years to take the plunge and I headed off to Australia, on an 'assisted passage' as they were called. Had no idea what I was getting myself into, didn't know anything about, or anyone in, Australia. Kangaroos parked in the street stuff. Stayed there for 18 years and returned to Holland and have been wandering ever since. Don't know where I belong, but do call Australia 'home' for some reason or other.. I think you're right gav.,we are being too serious sometimes.The world don't give a shit anyway. A 13 year old girl is stoned to death in Somalia, an earthquake hits and wipes out 80.000 lives, bombs keep on exploding in the Middle East...the sun still shines, the birds still sing and the day renews and unfolds itself again no matter how we feel about things. We should get rid of subjects and objects altogether. Call these patterns: 'emergent levels of consciousness' all having found their culmination in our own brains, the capabilities of which we have no full comprehension or appreciation of yet. Communicate to and learn from the inorganic/organic patterns through science (with imagination, flair and a healthy dosis of scepticism). Communicate to, and learn from social patterns through rhetoric ( with a healthy dosis of science,imagination, flair, intuition, feeling, empathy etc etc). Our brain, which 'has' (but is not) this software package called 'intellect' is capable of all these things plus things we are not even aware of, in a continuous, integrated way. We are the four-level patterns become conscious. Most of the time we live in harmony within ourselves.We need to learn to do this without ourselves as well. The MoQ is paving a way, it is not the Way. It is only a 'frame of mind-set' which may help us move a little closer to the moon. I'm begining to sound like a fucking preacher and do not mean to.I am preaching to the converted I know. Call it a soliloquy from a poor bastard in China who is only trying to encourage himself to keep on caring and who is dying for a good glas of Chardonnay. Good to know you gav.
