by Marshall Brain | June 23, 2010 This is a fascinating video that looks at the different ways that human beings perceive time and the effects that these perceptions have on our behavior: - “Protestant countries have higher gross national products than catholic countries.” The protestant work ethic = work hard to succeed in the future.

A full color brochure for the Institute of Chaos Studies and the Moorish Science Ashram in Ong's Hat, New Jersey. YOU WOULD NOT BE READING THIS ARTICLE if you had not already penetrated half-way to the ICS. You have been searching for us without knowing it, following oblique references in crudely xeroxed marginal samizdat publications, crackpot mystical pamphlets, mail-order courses in "Kaos Magick"—a paper trail and a coded series of rumors spread at street level through circles involved in the illicit distribution of certain controlled substances and the propagation of certain acts of insurrection against the Planetary Work Machine and the Consensus Reality —or perhaps through various obscure mimeographed technical papers on the edges of "chaos science"—through pirate computer networks—or even through pure syncronicity and the pursuit of dreams. In any case we know something about you, your interests, deeds and desires, works and days—and we know your address.
Ong's Hat: Gateway to the Dimensions!
It’s not often these days, it seems to me, that a ‘theatre of consciousness’ is proposed or defended: if the idea is mentioned, it’s more commonly to dismiss it or to distance a theory from it. All the more credit then, to Arnold Trehub whose Retinoid theory is just that, and a bold and sweeping example, too. A retinoid system, at its simplest, is an array of neurons which captures and retains a pattern of activity in the retina, the sensitive layer at the back of the eye which translates light into neuronal activity.

The philosophy course I wish I had had in graduate school. Packed with insights. Clearly a luminary, one of Americas foremost pholosophers tho loose repetitive and rambling at times (status post subdural); nonetheless probably the smartest philosopher I've ever heard. Solid background in history of philo and some phenomenology will help but not necessary for bright careful listener.

TEACHINGS OF DIOGENES
(c. 412- c. 323 B.C ) Diogenes was a very playful philosopher who liked to use great wit when challenging the values and beliefs of his fellow citizens in ancient Athens. He lived in great poverty, probably begging and stealing his food, and steadfastly disdained all forms of luxury. It was because of his determination to follow his own dictates and not adhere to the conventions of society that he was given the epithet "dog," from which the name "cynic" is derived."In fact, you get pretty good at understanding how the patterns in the show work, and everyone else chained up is like, 'Holy shit bro, how did you know that that tree was going to fall on that guy?' and you're like, 'It's because I fucking pay attention and I'm smart as shit.' You're the smartest of the chained, and they all revere you." "So eventually, someone comes and unchains you and drags you out of the cave. At first you'd say, 'Seriously, what the fuck is going on?!' Well, actually, at first you'd say, 'HOLY SHIT MY EYES' and you'd want to go back to the safe, familiar shadows.

These koans, or parables, were translated into English from a book called the Shaseki-shu (Collection of Stone and Sand), written late in the thirteenth century by the Japanese Zen teacher Muju (the "non-dweller"), and from anecdotes of Zen monks taken from various books published in Japan around the turn of the 20th century.

Kalama Sutta The people of Kalama asked the Buddha who to believe out of all the ascetics, sages, venerables, and holy ones who, like himself, passed through their town. They complained that they were confused by the many contradictions they discovered in what they heard. The Kalama Sutta is the Buddha's reply. Do not believe in what you have fancied, thinking that, because it is extraordinary, it must have been inspired by a god or other wonderful being.

First published Mon Aug 28, 2000; substantive revision Tue Nov 17, 2009 We see colours, hear sounds and feel textures. Some aspects of the world, it seems, are perceived through a particular sense. Others, like shape, are perceived through more than one sense.
