 Buck, this crap is beneath even *your* fake persona.

 You know what would happen if someone missed a TM
 meditation? Or what would happen if everyone in Fair-
 field missed a meditation, or stopped going to the
 domes?

 Nothing. That's how little effect any of it has on
 the world.

 To believe anything else is self importance, or
 dangerous levels of delusional narcissism. To try
 to *impose* these levels of delusions on others is
 in my book on the same level as child abuse. Get
 some help, dude, even if it is for a fictional
 persona.


Shut the fuck up Barry, time to heal your wounded child rather than
trying to compare Buck's simple message with child abuse.

radio files but Windows movie maker didn't recognize it. In a last ditch
effort I tried to figure out how to download music from YouTube. I Googled
download YouTube on Mp3 and linked to a guy screaming Developer. WTF?
I'm really a novice at this. Any suggestions?

The reason you are my bitch Barry is that I was a low-vibe slimeball
like you and unlike you I didn't externalize my pain. I was married to
someone who constantly made fun of this but rather than externalize my
pain like you on to others like Buck, I internalized my love, pain and
guilt and received the benediction.

Some of the inexpensive video editing packages come with some background
music. There wasn't a CD with the camera that might have some special
edition of a video editor?

Since I'm a composer and arranger I just write my own music. YouTube
has added a Creative Commons license option if I get time I was planning
to upload a bunch of videos with some original background music and
scenes people can use. I did a search on free video background music
and got a list of sites and heres one:
http://www.freesoundtrackmusic.com/
They have some tracks you can use free (the ones with the blue arrow) as
long as you give credit and some for sale.

Keep pluggin' away at it. You have a good sense of editing. It's just
like anything else: you'll get better the more you do it.

Nah, Turq is just practicing tantra, Ravi.  You should know that 
tantrics believe in hanging out in dark places, near the edge of death 
and such.  Then they are prepared when death comes.  The ostrich 
people will be unprepared if the US winds up being like war torn Bosnia 
during Depression 2.0 or Civil War 2.0.  As a friend said they may even 
lose what progress they made in this life time.  The only thing Turq 
could do better would be to hang out in Libya or Syria these days and 
even I wouldn't do that! :-D

 The way I've saved audio from YouTube in the past was to fire up one of the 
 programs that came with my soundcard that lets me record anything that's 
 playing through the computer's audio system. I'd click the record button and 
 then click play on the YouTube video. When the video was over, I'd hit stop 
 on the sound recorder, and I'd have a recording of the audio from the video.

 I'm quite certain that you can use the open source program, Audacity

 http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

 to do the same thing on any computer. Do a Google search on 'audacity youtube 
 recording' and you'll find articles and YouTube videos detailing how to do it.

  hoping and praying that this post actually makes it through 

For YouTube you get DownloadHelper to download the YouTube file.  It's a 
Firefox plugin.  Then download and use FFMpeg (also a download) to rip 
the audio stream which for FLV files will be MP3.   MP4 files will be 
AAC.  Then from the command line:
ffmpeg -i name of the YouTube file -vcodec none -acodec copy output 
file.MP3 or (.AAC).

There are some free video editing programs on the net.  YouTube even has 
a cloud editor for members.  And yes Audacity is a good audio editor.  
I use Magix Movie Edit Pro 17 which I paid all of $20 for at the local 
Fry's.

I don't know that I'll be prepared, but I sure won't
be surprised. According to a friend of mine who was
a nurse, most dying people claim to be actually sur-
prised by the fact that they're dying.

As for hanging out in dark places, I found one too
dark even for me to hang out in. The Victorian era.
I watched a short UK TV series called The Crimson
Petal and the White, and although it's very, very
well done (excellent performances by Romola Garai 
and Chris O'Dowd), and in fact is just *full* of
prostitutes and debauchery and lowlife, the whole
Victorian uber-mindset rubbed me SO the wrong way
that I had trouble making my way through the series.

Those people had 'TUDEs, dude. BAD 'tudes. Hypocrisy
elevated to a sick artform.

Yeah he sure is practicing tantra, you would think he would get a clue
from other tantrics like Ravi Yogi. A real tantric internalizes his
pain, he encounters his shadow, he channelizes the dark energy to
ascend. Mother Kali is a powerful symbolism for the tantrics, she who
has a garland of the heads of the demons, she who has conquered the
demons, the demons of the shadripus - lust, anger, greed, attachment,
pride and jealousy. Mother Kali, the benevolent mother who helped me
encounter the shadow energies - Jai Kali Ma.

My predominant sign is Scorpio(8th of the natural zodiac) in 12th with
Jupiter, Venus  Mars - all watery signs denote Brahmins, and Scorpio is

The channel from Muladhara (Scorpio, 8th) to Crown (12th) is completely
open, I suck up all negative energies and I get high.
I curse I get high.I get angry, I get intoxicatedI masturbate, I get

Nice work! Guess how much my first HD camera which did only 720p cost
me back in 2003? $3500 (they threw in a JVC HD VCR). Now you can get
them for $100 or less and they take better video.

Thanks, Bhairitu. Love the Flip. I'm fiddling with Windows Movie Maker to
jazz up my slide show. I want to build a better music library for
background music. I updated iTunes and found out the good stuff is way too
expensive and the free stuff linked to internet radio, sucks. I downloaded
some iTune radio files but Windows movie maker didn't recognize it. In a
last ditch effort I tried to figure out how to download music from YouTube.
I Googled download YouTube on Mp3 and linked to a guy screaming
Developer. WTF? I'm really a novice at this. Any suggestions?

 Well obviously you are not proud of being a low-vibe slimeball. You

 Nah, Turq is just practicing tantra, Ravi.  You should know that
 tantrics believe in hanging out in dark places, near the edge of death
 and such.  Then they are prepared when death comes.  The ostrich
 people will be unprepared if the US winds up being like war torn
 Bosnia
 during Depression 2.0 or Civil War 2.0.  As a friend said they may
 even
 lose what progress they made in this life time.  The only thing Turq
 could do better would be to hang out in Libya or Syria these days and
 even I wouldn't do that! :-D

 Yeah he sure is practicing tantra, you would think he would get a clue
 from other tantrics like Ravi Yogi. A real tantric internalizes his
 pain, he encounters his shadow, he channelizes the dark energy to
 ascend. Mother Kali is a powerful symbolism for the tantrics, she who
 has a garland of the heads of the demons, she who has conquered the
 demons, the demons of the shadripus - lust, anger, greed, attachment,
 pride and jealousy. Mother Kali, the benevolent mother who helped me
 encounter the shadow energies - Jai Kali Ma.

Kali Ma peels away the onion layers of maya, which is why one must take 
care to have a master of the path guide you or you go nuts.  Powerful stuff!

 I don't know that I'll be prepared, but I sure won't
 be surprised. According to a friend of mine who was
 a nurse, most dying people claim to be actually sur-
 prised by the fact that they're dying.

 As for hanging out in dark places, I found one too
 dark even for me to hang out in. The Victorian era.
 I watched a short UK TV series called The Crimson
 Petal and the White, and although it's very, very
 well done (excellent performances by Romola Garai
 and Chris O'Dowd), and in fact is just *full* of
 prostitutes and debauchery and lowlife, the whole
 Victorian uber-mindset rubbed me SO the wrong way
 that I had trouble making my way through the series.

 Those people had 'TUDEs, dude. BAD 'tudes. Hypocrisy
 elevated to a sick artform.

And the same might be said of the 1920s era portrayed in HBO's 
Boardwalk Empire.   But then people might look back 20 years a from 
now in horror of what the start of this century brought.

Speaking of darkness, I watched John Carpenter's The Ward starring 
Amber Heard on Saturday.  Despite the panning by his fans who I guess 
expected him to keep raising the bar it was a fairly good flic starring 
Amber Heard.  I was amazed at how well Carpenter captured the atmosphere 
of a state mental hospital.  Well, the credits rolled and to my surprise 
the reason the hospital looked sorta familiar was because it was the 
only one I've ever visited: Eastern State Hospital at Medical Lake, 
Washington.  Like Albuquerque, Spokane has become another movie city 
with films being shot there and the surrounding area.  I also say 
sorta because a lot of state hospitals including ones I've seen as 
locations in films on the east coast seem to have the same architecture 
as if the same architectural firm designed all of them.

I also watched Burning Palms  a dark comedy of 5 stories of madness 
taking place in Los Angeles.  I'm a big fan of LA independent films 
because unlike the studio crap they are long on story and art.  This one 
stars folks Bell Lake, Zoe Saldana, Nick Stahl, Dylan McDermott, and Paz 
Vega.

I did go nuts, Mother Kali my guide and FFL the witness. The energy eventually 
overwhelmed me and led to psychosis. And psychosis was the boat that carried my 
body, mind and intellect to the other end. The shore of benediction, the beauty 
and on-demand bliss. That's why I had so much appreciation for Robin's use of 
the word mystical deceit - indeed a deceit of mystical proportions that I 
will be forever grateful and indebted to.

Kali Ma sneaks up behind you and peels the maya away.  You realize the 
maya you've been experiencing is going.  It actually makes you chuckle.  
Without a guru it could become confusing and scary.  You have to 
experience it though to fully understand it. ;-)

If you want to do that contact my teacher, prepare to spend a week in 
the SF Bay Area and you can get started.

Bhairitu:
 Kali Ma peels away the onion layers of maya...

Kali Ma IS Maya: Time and Change.

The Shiv tattava (Divine Consciousness as Shiva) 
is inactive, while the Shakti tattava (Divine 
Energy as Kali) is active. Shiva, or Mahadeva 
represents Brahman, the Absolute pure consciousness 
which is beyond all names, forms and activities. 

Kali, on the other hand, represents the potential 
(and manifested) energy responsible for all names, 
forms and activities...
