Jedi Redneck?

Anahata — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 19:27:56 GMT

.......made me giggle........

You Might Be a Redneck Jedi If:

Your Jedi robe is camouflage.

You have ever used the force in conjunction with fishing.

At least one wing of your X-wing is primer colored.

You have bantha horns on the front of your landspeeder.

You describe the taste of an Ewok as "jus' like chicken."

You have ever had a B-wing up on blocks in your yard.

The worst part of spending time on planet Dagobah is "them dadgum skeeters."

Wookies are offended by your B.O.

You have ever used the force to get yourself another beer so you wouldn't have to wait for a commercial.

Your father has ever said to you, "Shoot, son, come on over to the dark side...it'll be a hoot!"

You have ever had your R-2 unit use its self-defense electro-shock thingy to get the barbecue grill to light.

You have a confederate flag painted on your flight helmet.

You ever fantasized about Princess Leia wearing Daisy Duke shorts.

You have the doors of your X-wing welded shut and you have to get in through the window.

You kinda think that Jabba the Hutt had a pretty good handle on how to treat his women.

You have a cousin who bears a strong resemblance to Chewbacca.

In your opinion, that Cee-Threepio fellow "just ain't right."

You suggested that they outfit the Millennium Falcon with a Lazy-Boy recliner.

The REAL reason you got into a fight in the cantina was because you ordered Bud Light...and they didn't have it.

You knew Princess Leia was your sister all along.

Custom Saber Ideas

Dante Lee — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:03:37 GMT

Hey all. Dante here. Unfortunately, it seems that Balance of Power is going to be halted until further notice, considering i've torn my ACL (Shouldnt be doing backflips on a bad knee.) and the fact that about three people dropped out of the production.

However, with all this newfound interest in Star Wars and Jedi, i've become quite the avid duelist. And, naturally, i'd like a saber (or apparently a couple of them) to choose from so i may duel with friends, family, and maybe even start a fan film of my own. Multiple sabers would certainly help with fan films, as well as allowing friends to borrow them if they needed a duelling blade.

So i've been coming up with some designs, and i wanted a bit of feedback. I've come up with four designs...well, ok. three designs; four sabers in all. (dear god is this gonna empty my wallet quickly.) I would love to hear what you all think of the designs; what you like about them, where there could be improvement, and maybe a couple of names would help too, considering i'm blanking on blade names these days.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/shaelasche/Sabers-1.jpg

The first two are my duel wielding sabers, but can also stand on their own, perhaps as master/padawan blades. The second design is much more sith-inspired. And the third is just to kinda round everything out, with a sort of sage-like consulor saber. Funny thing is, the last one was supposed to be a small, simple design, and ended up being the longest saber of the bunch, and will probably be one of the more difficult ones to build. But yeah, that's enough backstory, tell me what you think!

Discuss :P

SW: Balance of Power

Dante Lee — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 01:46:05 GMT

Hey all. Just wanted to bring this to your guys's attention. I'm a part of this Star Wars production (Live action, quasi-theatre/stunt group) called Balance of Power. So far there have been 2 episodes, and we are currently working on Episode 3. Again, this is a LIVE performance. No stops, no effects, no wires, no help of any kind. Just a buncha people with some swordfighting and acrobatic skills putting them to use.

Go ahead and rate the videos, tell your friends, and if you're in the California Bay Area, give me a message here, and you may be able to be part of this wonderful production. We're currently in production of Episode 3: A Force Undying. We could use all the help we can get. If you think you can help in any way (Finances, acting, costuming, venues, ect) then please contact me. But anyway, onward with the videos!!!

Ep 1: Into the Lions Den

ote #24 from pan prometheus to HALOS AND AURAS:

oh good, i was wondering whod start.

-----
Its not a mainstream concept,it lost traction for a few centuries there.
----

>I thought of the subject of "Halos" as a matter of ancient history.

yes, it is those things, but it is also as modern as the people you know
who've
got the glow.
----

vanity halos in advertising seems like a poor taste rip off to me.

well, there are, tho they are immensely more complicated as an anatomical
feature than a simple
white circle.

Specifically, that person is open to spirit enough that they aren;t just
themselves in a body.
They are CONNECTED. They are "plugged in" to the "force."

Not only about Jesus and Mary, and in some instances the

well observers can perceive subtle reality.

>There is energy, or a genius, or love, emanating from some people. A

---
love is a good word, because it is the love relationship between that person
and
spirit which forms the halo. Genius is a good word because once the Halo is
open,
that person is incessantly "inspired" with potentially whatever information
the mind
of god wants to impart to them.
----
>

>
>And everyone connected to that person may not see anything special

----
That really depends on the people and how open THEY are to subtle reality.
Most people in our society can't see subtle reality AT ALL. But then again,
a very strong
Halo event might be enough to be seen even by those who are normally blind
to that
level of reality.

It may take many forms. And so I think "Aura" is a good
>connection.
----
The Halo is one part of the Aura.
---

It may appear to some who have an unusual gift or vision,
>as an aura. It may be white it colour, but it can be many other
>colours as well. It may surround the head only, or the whole body.
>It may take many shapes.
----
generally, its 3-5 inches above the head and between 8 and 20 inches in
diameter.
----

>There may be a connection here with the traditions of native people.
>We can probably learn a world of knowledge and insight from them.
----
errr.
You know its funny i just got into an argument over that. You see, some
people claim
that Halos originate with sun worship. This is false. Halos originate with
judiaic mysticism,
and artists drawing circles around peoples heads were not always drawing
halos.

I am a highly eclectic world religions studier, and i can tell you its
wonderful to find
crossovers and assorted proofs that some native culture was doing something
first.
However, Halos are indigenous to Judaic mysticism, don't let anybody tell
you different.

What the traditions of native people help with is the addition of Chakras,
so that we
can understand that the Halo is an operational condition of seventh chakra.

The rest of the most useful information comes from esoteric Judaism.

peace and light

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

The Dark Side on FRONTLINE

vulcan — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 17:46:17 GMT

On September 11, 2001, deep inside a White House bunker, Vice President Dick Cheney was ordering U.S. fighter planes to shoot down any commercial airliner still in the air above America. At that moment, CIA Director George Tenet was meeting with his counter-terrorism team in Langley, Virginia. Both leaders acted fast, to prepare their country for a new kind of war. But soon a debate would grow over the goals of the war on terror, and the decision to go to war in Iraq.

Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and others saw Iraq as an important part of a broader plan to remake the Middle East and project American power worldwide.

Meanwhile Tenet, facing division in his own organization, saw non-state actors such as Al Qaeda as the highest priority.

FRONTLINE's investigation of the ensuing conflict includes more than forty interviews, thousands of pages of documentary evidence, and a substantial photographic archive. It is the third documentary about the war on terror from the team that produced Rumsfeld's War and The Torture Question.

Amid daily revelations about prewar intelligence and a growing scandal surrounding the indictment of the vice president's chief of staff and presidential adviser, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, FRONTLINE goes behind the headlines to investigate the internal war that was waged between the intelligence community and Richard Bruce Cheney, the most powerful vice president in the nation's history.

"A lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly, without any discussion, using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies," Cheney told Americans just after 9/11. He warned the public that the government would have to operate on the "dark side."

episode III i think was kinda lame.
Off with the jedi...
and then they were dead, it was kinda pathetic.
I mean, from all the Jedi games i've played, i've learned that even a padawan can take on 30 troops no problem. Is anyone else pissed off that the jedi just kinda... died?

Why didn't Obi-wan kill Vader when he had the chance?

obi-nine — Thu, 09 Jun 2005 23:43:37 GMT

My confusion centres around why Obi-wan didn't kill Vader at the end of Episode III? I know that Jedis are supposed the seek diplomatic solutions and honor all life and bring criminals to trial but it seems to me against the Jedi code to leave Vader alive, suffering and all mangled up by the lava river.

Was he just so confused from all the fighting, etc.?

Thoughts?

3D Instant messenger

FyreChyld — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 17:26:20 GMT

Greetings!
I'm PdxDruid. I want to invite you all to a really awesome 3D chat
messenger. I have alot of Pagan friends there & been drawing many
from other areas on the Net to there. I'm hoping to create a really
strong Pagan presence there. When you join through my link you will
automatically be added to my Buddy list. This will help you find other
Pagans here as almost every single person in my Buddy list is Pagan of one
flavor or another. Heres a run down of how to earn credits here to buy stuff.
When you join they start you off with a 1,000 credits (Credits is our virtual currency).
The main ways to earn credits is to invite folks. When someone first accepts
a invite from you, you earn 500 credits then another 500 credits when they have their
first chat. They give you credit when they hit their 5th chat and others too
but I haven't kept up on how many. LOL Anyway if they buy their name ($7.95)
you get 2,500 credits. NOTE: You don't need to buy your name if you don't want to.
If you don't then you just end up stuck with the word Guest in front of your name.
Alot of folks have guest in front of their name & been here since the beginning.
Also Guest have little ads on there homepage. No biggy. The benefits of buying
your name is it drops the Guest from name, drops the ads from your homepage.
Allows you to download the Developer program & become a
Developer and design & sell clothes & other stuff in the catalog and
a few other things I haven't really learned yet. But mainly unless you
want to be a Developer you don't need to buy your name unless you don't
like Guest in front of your name. One of my friends I invited husband
bought her the full adult access pass & I got 10,000 credits. Adult
Access allows you to buy adult mature stuff like nudity skins and stuff.
So unless you like doing rituals online Skyclad or (LOL) a real flirt
you don't need it. LOL You can buy credits but unless you are loaded
why bother? You can earn plenty just by inviting folks and its a great
way to make friends as well. Speaking of Rituals online. No one is
doing this yet here & one of my good friends is a Developer & I'm
learning to be a Developer. Me & her are working on creating ritual
scenes/themes so folks can do ritual online. Great for those who are
in secluded places or don't have other Pagans in their area to work
with and like to even if it is online, experience ritual with others.
I have a Stonehenge Theme that has a Ritual/council like lodge & hold
little workshop discussions within it. Its a great little lodge to do
Druidic 101 or Wicca 101 classes in also. I also have a Redwoods Theme
and I just did a cyber handfasting in it for 2 and that was kinda cool.
Their Avatars were all dressed up for it & mine wore its celtic robe
and deer antlers on his head (This avatar is temporarly down and I'm
using my PdxDruid one). LOL There are alot of cool Pagan themes
already but they are mainly Pagan social themes. Like the Wiccan
Retreat Cafe & the Goddess Cabin. 2 of my favorite. The first time I
chat with you its in the Cafe. The Cafe can seat like 12 people so its
kinda cool though its still in Beta and can usually only get 3 avatars
to appear in it though I did have up to 7 Avatars in there once. They
are busy working out the kinks though and many I have invited love it
enough they willing to deal with the little quirks. LOL Anyway when
you join and I'm on I spend my first chat with you teaching you how
to control your Avatar and to get to know you then set you loose to
have fun and explore. If I'm not online when you join just click Chat
now & someone will pop up and help you. If you get a newbie learn what
you can then say thank you and try Chat now again till you get someone
whose gotten good at it.
You can also click my homepage in your Buddy list & there you will
fine my buddy list and it will show you who is online (this is great
if you perfer to have a fellow Pagan help you rather than a random
person in the Chat now mode). Click their pict then it will take you
to their page. You can leave a message (If its a question make them
private so their page don't get flooded with questions) or click there
homepage pict & it will launch a chat with them. Let them know I
invited you & they will help you learn how to use your Avatar. Once
you learn to use your Avatar start inviting your Pagan Friends and
earn shopping credits & have fun. Hope to see you there! Below is the
link. http://www.imvu.com/catalog/web_registration.php?userId=1547889

go na Tiarna agus Bantiarn coill glas beannacht glas tu!<br>

Sec of State Condi Rice responds to hurricane disaster by buying several-thousand-dollar pair of shoes in NYC moments ago, and spends last night at Broadway show!

Gandalf — Fri, 02 Sep 2005 04:25:15 GMT

http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/09/breaking-sec-of-state-condi-rice.html

http://www.buzzflash.com/?time=24

According to Drudge, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has recently enjoyed a little Broadway entertainment. And Page Six reports that she’s also working on her backhand with Monica Seles. So the Gulf Coast has gone all Mad Max, women are being raped in the Superdome, and Rice is enjoying a brief vacation in New York. We wish we were surprised.

What does surprise us: Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.

Angry Lady, whoever you are, we love you. You are a true American.

For anyone who still doesn't get it, let's talk for a moment about why this story matters.

The president, finally, has decided that the hurricane is a problem. He claims yesterday at 5pm, finally, that he's going to be devoting his entire administration to saving the lives of the people currently dying in this growing national disaster. And what does a top member of his cabinet do? She goes to a Broadway comedy and today is buying multi-thousand-dollar shoes on 5th Avenue at the same time CNN is showing dead grandmothers in wheelchairs abandoned on the streets of New Orleans.

This is more than just a cheap shot at Condi. What in the blazes is this woman doing at a Broadway show in the middle of a national emergency? This is akin to going to a Broadway show in the middle of September 11. Don't we expect the Secretary of State to work past 5pm on a day an entire American city is being wiped off the face of the planet? And shouldn't she be doing something else today than shopping at filthy rich stores on 5th Avenue? Could she be - oh, I don't know - working with foreign leaders, like the Mexicans, to see what immediate assistance they can offer to the neighbor?

New Orleans is ceasing to exist. What in God's name is Bush doing letting his secretary of state go on vacation in the middle of this?

New Order

spinningmonkey — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 17:20:56 GMT

~~I think we need a new order: The Jedith, hybridyzed teachings of both Jedi and Sith. There is no Light without Shadow and vice versa. You must understand the fullness of the circle and your path in the end is all about intention. Always was, but to make a choice in ignorance of half the truth isn't a very informed choice.

Good/Evil...Light/Dark....Jedi/Sith...All are nescessary and have their place.

sword2soul — Sat, 25 Feb 2006 09:37:46 GMT

Good is the creation of harmony, the crystilazation of an ideal, pattern, concept. A crystal is solid and can withstand the tests of time. But what happens when that crystal is formed with a flaw? Or if the parts that make up the crystal can be put to better use elsewhere?

That is where evil comes in...the dark side. It is only the evil that can destroy that which has been crystilized in reality. It is the evil that breaks apart the gem so taht it may reform into something greater...or simply something different. With out the darkside, the jedi counsel would still be removed from the masses. Sitting high in their towers, growing weaker and rotting from within. IT is this darkness that paved the way for the new jedi council to form. For new levels of the force to be found and understood. With out this darkness...all would be lost...crystilized for eternity....stagnent.

Yet it is the Lightside which reforms these fragments, joins them anew to create a better manifestation of the whole. And the dance continues....perfect.

Genetic flaw

RatUhlm_Shadi — Wed, 08 Feb 2006 18:08:59 GMT

Has anyone found it humorous that in ep. IV there is a trooper that hits his head on the door when chasing Han and Chewie? This was originally a slip in the editing, but it was unfortunately un-cutable. What I mean is that the pace of that scene is just so that it would have been very noticeable had they cut it out.

So what did they do to remedy this little editing flaw? Why they did what all good story tellers do they improvised.

When they were filming ep. II they show Jango getting into "Slave 1" and hitting his head on the hatch door and they als ogave him a scare for it. You'll notice that the Clones, Boba and Jango all have a scare on their forheads.

All of this for a simple little thing that could not be cut out of an earlier episode.

I would assume this has been covered somewhere already, but is there an official or reasonable explanation for why in A New Hope, Ben seems to have forgotten that he did previously know R2 and C3PO?

Ahhhhhh... Great to be come back to the Tribe after a hyatis and see it thriving with such awesome posts!

First I must say that-- I can totally understand how some may see the Midichlorian Thing as demystifying the zen-like ambiance of the Force with scientific concepts-- though I must say that I, personally, was never thrown off by it, but immediately was absorbed even stronger INTO it. To me it only made sense, really-- the whole symbiosis thing... reciprocity... "Lifeforms working together for mutual advantage". To me it never seemed scientific, but even MORE mystical, really... Higher Reality stuff.

All Living Things ARE a part of the Universe. "Luminous beings are we... not this crude matter". All matter is TRULY moving vibrations of energy-- this is FACT... Quantum Reality. Nothing is truly SOLID... we and Everything are mostly... something other than solid. And from a scientific standpoint we really haven't been able to define the "space" between each atom that buzzes in orbit around a nucleus within a molecule that makes up a strand of DNA within the nucleus of a cell existing in an organ of a complex biological system within each living being on any planet which orbits similarly to (a) sun(s) which spiral in only a single galaxy that itself is spinning and changing in an expanding and contracting universe. It boggles the mind, but All things are truly connected, AND...

To me, Midichlorians just add ANOTHER dimention of thought and mystery to the Force... They DEEPEN my spirituality with the Force. It is MY understanding that Midichlorians are not limited to the number that one is born with. Now follow me on this one...

Energy resonates-- which means similar waves attract to each other... An individual then attracts what (s)he puts out, and focuses his/her consciousness on. "Your focus determines your reality". "Be mindful of your thoughts". One common instance in which this can be seen is the destructive way that the Dark Side may scar those who wield such powers.

I believe that yes, some people may indeed be born with higher Midichlorian counts than other people (particularly legendary figures of power, especially children of immaculate conception). But, to me, it seems clear that if one continues to act in a way that nurtures thier Highest, then those higher vibrations will be what is recieved. And acting in a way that feeds our lowest will attract lower vibrations.

And it can grow exponentially... aquiring more ability to tap and use the Force as a RESULT of using it. Now since we seem to channel the Force THROUGH the Midichlorians-- then the more Force proficient we are, the more Midichlorians we have-- and thus have willfully ATTRACTED into or BIRTHED within ourselves.

If we excercize compassion, peace, and righteousness, then THAT is what we resonate with, and thus become MORE of.

If we excercize intollerance, conflict, and selfishness, then THAT is what we resonate with, and thus become MORE of.

All the natural Laws of the Universe-- or The Force-- still apply: Causes lead to effects, and-- even WITHOUT upholding cultural human peerceptions of "Good" vs "Bad"-- certain intentions and actions simply attract or create peace and focus and healing, and certain other intentions and actions attract or create agitation and seperation and dis-ease.

The Power of The Force may be felt by those who have the Will (and perhaps an Opening to learn new beliefs that awaken oneself to empowerment) and focus of mind to plug into it the Flow that "surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together". That which "controls our actions, but also obeys our commands".

For me, it's not an interpretation of a Star Wars concept. It's a realisation of a Truth that I, for one, KNOW for myself, as it IS my reality, and I believe, too, that it is equally a reality for all of you. I see the power to BE the Jedi that you ARE existing RIGHT NOW-- if not in full-bloom then perhaps blossoming, or at least as a Seed of Possibility that DOES exist Here and Now within each of us. Perhaps I've lost some readers by this point (Boy, can I babble deeeeep stuff... and I can babble Star Wars!), or perhaps some of you already know of what I speak. For those who have read this far and STILL think it's quantum-hippy psychobabble, then I at least thank you for expanding your mind into a new direction for a few moments, and I invite you to ask yourself what ways the Midichlorian theory DOES tie into what you love about the Good Ol' Force. You'll probably discover some correllations of your very own!

Ahhhhhh... It's good to be back!

Djedi

Zachar — Sat, 01 Oct 2005 06:18:11 GMT

A friend of mine has been working on startng a academy based on the trainings of the Jedi. Only George Lucas loves money so there is no using the name"Jedi."
Thanks to Ormungander(OM108X) I suggested the origin of the name. Djedhi. The were the high preists of egypt and on their way to becomeing ascendant masters, and the djed pillar is a symbol of stability and regeneration. I interpret regeneration as a form of imortality.

Now researching it more I found very little use of the actuall word/name Djedhi or Djedi. More than anything it was Djed or the city of Djedu. One Djed wizard was told to have been able to resurect the dead. He refused to demonstrate on a slave, so instead killed and animal(a sheep I think) and brought it back to life.

I am asking for any assistance, advice, teachings, comments, recomendations, and anything that can help further this intention along it's path. I will let you all know more as it progresses.

Be the force

Penari Saber: Fact or Fiction

Obsidian_Black — Sat, 09 Jul 2005 09:05:31 GMT

Is the Penari Saber part of the Star Wars Universe, or is it just a random piece of Fan Fiction not recognized by George Lucas?

For those unfamilar with the Penari Saber, it was suppose to have been invented 2000 years before Phantom Menace. Built by Jedi scientist Crutus Penari. This yellow bladed saber was said to be able to cut through other lightsabers, and was ultamtely ordered to be dismantled because the Jedi Council of that time found it to be too much of a threat.

Dose anyone know of what story, novel, or comic book the Penari Saber origionated from, or is it just some piece of fan-fiction that is by no means cannon in the Star Wars Universe.

The concept of a lightsaber cutting through another saber fasinates me. How would it function? Dose it disrupt the energy flow of a normal lightsber, causing the Penari to slip through a normal energy blade? Thus would it be useless to block with because as the Penari passes through the other blade, that other blade would be left unaffected and intact as it continues it's arc towards you. Try to do an over head block as the Penari slips through the other blade. ouch

Or.... dose the Penari so Severly disrupt a normal blade that it causes the other blade to shut down, thus damaging the lightsaber by causing some kind of energy feedback frying the electronic innards of the saber.

Any ideas? Dose anyone know anything about it?

The Djed

Wed, 11 May 2005 07:43:51 GMT

Some notes on the nature if Djed . . .

Some Awesome Geometry :
http://evolutionoftruth.com/abennett/djed.htm

The DJED COLUMN

Appearance: The djed is an Egyptian symbol that is depicted as a column with a broad base and capital. At the top of the column the capital is divided by four parallel bars. The image has been interpreted in several ways. It is said to be:

four pillars, seen one behind the other
a man's, or Osiris' backbone
a Syrian cedar with its branches removed
the pole around which sheaves of grain were tied
History: Osiris was originally an agricultural deity from Syria. When his followers immigrated to Egypt, they brought with them their fetish (cult object). Their fetish was the djed and they named their city after it, "Djedu". As the popularity of Osiris grew, so did the djed's appearance in art, especially in tombs. The djed was often painted on the bottom of coffins where the deceased's backbone would rest. The djed was also often created as an amulet of stability and regenerative power.

In Old Kingdom times, the djed was associated with the chief god of Memphis, Ptah, who was called the "Noble Djed."

The Djed Pillar Festival was a cultic celebration of the symbol and its powers. It was held annually in Egypt and was a time of great spiritual refreshment for the people. The priests raised the djed pillar on the first day of shemu (the season of harvest on the Nile). The people then paid homage to the symbol and conducted a mock battle between good and evil. Oxen were driven around the walls of the capital, honoring the founding of the original capital, Memphis.

Meaning: The djed column was the Egyptian symbol of "stability". It was the symbol of the tree that grew around Osiris's casket and was used as a pillar in a Byblos palace. The djed was considered necessary to aid in the transformation of human flesh into the spiritual form assumed by the deceased in eternity.

great disturbance in the force

connected1 — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 00:15:36 GMT

I feel there's been a great disturbance in the force.

After leaving episode III I felt out of balance and ill for three days. It was not because the film ended on a down note. That was inevitable. After meditating on it I've concluded that:

GEORGE LUCAS has gone to the dark side.

Why, I haven't clarity at this time. But maybe some of you have. There were always the rumors that it was not his brilliance that created episode IV at all, but perhaps stolen from Alan Dean Foster. This is a lot more believable now. There is no way that episode IV and III are from the same spirit in any way.

Let alone insulting any true fans with the numerous inconsistencies in III. I shouldn't go into it all, but an obvious one was Leah's conversation with Luke where she claims to remember her mother being very beautiful and sad, etc. Oh yeah, we're supposed to accept she got that 75 seconds after birth. I could continue, but it is unnecessary.

The true give away is that Lucas paints an entirely weak and pathetic image of the Jedi, their ability, power, and use of the force throughout episode III.

It's hard to believe it was pure Hollywood glamor that drove him to do it. He must have read the reports of hundreds of thousands of people world wide who claimed Jedi as their religion on census forms. As well as the well known reality that for many people the fleshing out of the concepts of the Force has become their true connection to their own personal power and an opening to their spirituality. Lucas has to be aware of the intense influence the Star Wars saga has had on the collective spirituality of the species.

So why did he do it? Why did he make the much anticipated seduction of Anakin Skywalker to the dark side so weak and pathetic. This one soul turning is going to make quite an impact on their entire galaxy, he annihilates Alderon, etc. Let me get this straight Anakin turns to Darth Vader because of a nightmare? That's it. WEAK!!! His diluted shift to the dark side made jedi look weak, made the force seem like a set of mind games, it makes the dark side look like no real threat. What type of emotion did this evoke in his audience. Not a lot. I was groaning, with "Oh, please, how pathetic" disappointment. Now when Anakin slaughtered an entire tribe of Sand people after his mother dying in his arms, that was more believable. Each member of the audience could question their own feelings, and wonder if they too would have done the same. But a nightmare with no real detail, who could relate?

What about Padme? What was Lucas's intention there? Her character was developed as strong, intense, sworn to duty, and very much like a Jedi herself. Now what is the image Lucas leaves us with? Pathetic, absolutely pathetic, and out of character. Lucas has her die of nothing. A broken heart, how pathetic. Padme, Leah and Luke's mother who served her duties with all her soul. We're supposed to accept that she just "loses the will to live" while being called to the highest duty any woman ever could be, motherhood. She names them without hesitation, and then rolls over will less and dies of nothing. Was Lucas trying to make us sick? Leah remembers her mother, Padme was also strong with the Force. Well, not any more! Lucas just rewrote history and made it ugly, spirit less, and pathetic.

What about the numerous Jedi he showed being taken out by a few cloned storm troopers. Like they wouldn't have felt the shift and seen it coming. Lucas didn't even have the decency to have thousands taking down each Jedi. Since when do storm troopers take out main characters anyway. They had been shown previously as hardly able to hit a target the size of a barn. Let's all forget that Obi Wan said that Darth Vader assisted the Emperor in hunting down and destroying the Jedi, not a few storm troopers. Why would Lucas now choose to make the Jedi look so weak, unintuitive, and pathetic?

Tell me anyone left the theater sympathizing with Anakin or Padme. I bet most people left feeling weak and nauseated the way I did. Lucas let down his true fans. He also let down those who considered Star Wars a true awakening to our inner power and spirituality, those who are developing the force, or who live or practice in the ways and faith of the Jedi.

I've had to exert personal energy to try to shift my emotions continuously since the 19th of May. My judgment has been clouded with hateful emotions... I just can't see at this time why he did it.

If this sounds like an exaggeration, or a bit over doing it. I ask you what image of Jedi you left the theater with? How did you feel? I invite you to search your feelings.

Bad News for diversity in movies... AMC, and Carlyle Group owned Loews Cineplex To Merge

Gandalf — Fri, 24 Jun 2005 04:30:26 GMT

The Carlyle Group (http://www.hereinreality.com/carlyle.html)which last year aquired Loews just 2 days after Fahrenheit 9/11 opened has now merged with AMC.

It does make me wonder if Michael Moore and others will be able to release their future movies as easily.

What do people think?

http://cbs4boston.com/entertain/entertainment_story_172172850.html

AMC, Loews Cineplex To Merge
Will Have Interests In About 450 Theaters
Jun 21, 2005 5:28 pm US/Eastern

Movie theater chains AMC Entertainment Inc. and Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corp. said Tuesday they plan to merge, and will be led by current AMC Chairman, CEO and President Peter C. Brown.

The new company will be called AMC Entertainment Inc. and will be headquartered in Kansas City. The combined entity will own, manage or have interests in about 450 theaters in 30 states and 13 countries. An integration committee will be formed in which Travis E. Reid, president and CEO of New York-based Loews Cineplex, and Brown will serve as co-chairs.

The merger agreement also provides for the merger of AMC's and Loews' holding companies. In late 2004, a group of private investors purchased AMC, the nation's second-largest theater chain, for about $2 billion. Bain Capital, Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Investors acquired Loews Cineplex from Onex Corp. and Oaktree Capital Management in 2004 for $1.5 billion.

Michael L. Savner, an analyst with Banc of America Securities, said in a research note that the merger "makes sense ... given the similar urban focus of both companies and the benefits that can be achieved through economies of scale."

Savner said the nation's largest movie theater chain, Regal Entertainment Group, and the third-largest chain, Carmike Cinemas Inc., focus on different markets than AMC and Loews, so he does not expect "meaningful competitive implications."

And although Hollywood has been experiencing its longest box-office decline in 20 years, Savner said he expects trends to improve in the second half of the year.

AMC spokeswoman Pam Blase said the industry always has ups and downs.

"It's safe to say we're in a down cycle right now, but it will go up again and we will be there with a very strong company," Blase said.

She could not say if the merger would result in theater closings or layoffs, saying those details would be determined in the next several months.

Marquee Holdings, which is controlled by JP Morgan Partners and Apollo Management affiliates, will continue as the holding company for the merged businesses. Bain, Carlyle and Spectrum - stockholders of LCE Holdings - will own about 40 percent of the new holding company.

The companies said they plan to refinance their senior credit facilities in connection with the closing of the merger. The merger will not constitute a change of control for the outstanding senior notes of Marquee Holdings Inc. or the outstanding senior notes or senior subordinated notes of AMC Entertainment Inc.

AMC and Loews said they expect the merger to close within six to nine months, subject to antitrust approval and financing completion. Financial details of the deal weren't disclosed.

In 2004, AMC reported a loss of $10.7 million on revenue of $1.78 billion. The company currently owns more than 230 theaters with about 3,500 screens. Loews Cineplex, the oldest theater circuit in North America, has about 2,100 screens at 200 theaters worldwide.

Blase said the merged company will own, manage or have interests in theaters in 14 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China (Hong Kong), France, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, the U.S. and Uruguay.

The Empire Strikes Bush - Star Wars in political context

Gandalf — Wed, 18 May 2005 14:44:14 GMT

Hi everyone,

I thought I would share the review in the Washington Post that makes note of all the reviewers who catch the political context of these films.

Yours in haste,

The Empire Strikes Bush

By Dan Froomkin

Special to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2005/05/16/BL2005051600615.html
Monday, May 16, 2005; 12:48 PM

"This is how liberty dies -- to thunderous applause."

So observes Queen Amidala of Naboo as the galactic senate grants dictator-to-be Palpatine sweeping new powers in his crusade against the Jedi in the final "Star Wars" movie opening this week.

It's just one of several lines in "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith," that reveal the movie to be more than just a sci-fi blockbuster and gargantuan cultural phenomenon.

"Revenge of the Sith," it turns out, can also be seen as a cautionary tale for our time -- a blistering critique of the war in Iraq, a reminder of how democracies can give up their freedoms too easily, and an admonition about the seduction of good people by absolute power.

Some film critics suggest it could be the biggest anti-Bush blockbuster since "Fahrenheit 9/11."

New York Times movie critic A.O. Scott gives "Sith" a rave, and notes that Lucas "grounds it in a cogent and (for the first time) comprehensible political context.

" 'Revenge of the Sith' is about how a republic dismantles its own democratic principles, about how politics becomes militarized, about how a Manichaean ideology undermines the rational exercise of power. Mr. Lucas is clearly jabbing his light saber in the direction of some real-world political leaders. At one point, Darth Vader, already deep in the thrall of the dark side and echoing the words of George W. Bush, hisses at Obi-Wan, 'If you're not with me, you're my enemy.' Obi-Wan's response is likely to surface as a bumper sticker during the next election campaign: 'Only a Sith thinks in absolutes.' "

Agence France Presse reports that the movie delivers "a galactic jab to US President George W. Bush."

It's been generating "murmurs at the parallels being drawn between Bush's administration and the birth of the space opera's evil Empire."

Are some people reading too much into the movie?

Filmmaker George Lucas insists that the genesis of his story dates back 30 years. But he pointed out that certain themes do seem to repeat themselves, whether here and now or a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Bruce Kirkland writes in the Toronto Sun: "Star Wars is a wakeup call to Americans about the erosion of democratic freedoms under George W. Bush, filmmaker George Lucas said yesterday.

"Lucas, responding to a question from the Sun at a Cannes Film Festival press conference, said he first wrote the framework of Star Wars in 1971 when reacting to then U.S. President Richard Nixon and the on-going events of the Vietnam War. But the story still has relevance today, he said, and is part of a pattern he has noticed in his readings of history.

" 'I didn't think it was going to get quite this close,' he said of the parallels between the Nixon era and the current Bush presidency, which has been sacrificing freedoms in the interests of national security. 'It is just one of those re-occurring things. I hope this doesn't come true in our country. Maybe the film will awaken people to the situation of how dangerous it is.' "

David Germain writes for the Associated Press: "Lucas never mentioned the president by name but was eager to speak his mind on U.S. policy in Iraq, careful again to note that he created the story long before the Bush-led occupation there.

" 'When I wrote it, Iraq didn't exist,' Lucas said, laughing.

" 'We were just funding Saddam Hussein and giving him weapons of mass destruction. We didn't think of him as an enemy at that time. We were going after Iran and using him as our surrogate, just as we were doing in Vietnam . . The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable.' "

Lucas said he has long been interested in the transition from democracy to dictatorship.

"In ancient Rome, 'why did the senate, after killing Caesar, turn around and give the government to his nephew?' Lucas said. 'Why did France, after they got rid of the king and that whole system, turn around and give it to Napoleon? It's the same thing with Germany and Hitler.'

" 'You sort of see these recurring themes where a democracy turns itself into a dictatorship, and it always seems to happen kind of in the same way, with the same kinds of issues, and threats from the outside, needing more control. A democratic body, a senate, not being able to function properly because everybody's squabbling, there's corruption.' "

Harlan Jacobson writes in USA Today: "Since screenings began last month at Lucas' Skywalker Ranch, people have been discussing parallels between the final film in Lucas' six-film Star Wars saga and current political events. . .

"Lucas said Darth Vader's saga is about how a good man turns himself into a bad one.

" 'Most of them think they're good people doing what they do for a good reason.' "

Marijke Rowland writes in the Modesto Bee: "Lucas' longtime producer Rick McCallum insists that the resemblances are coincidental.

" '(The film) was started well before we even knew this disaster was going to happen,' he said, referring to Iraq war.

"Scottish actor Ian McDiarmid, who plays the evil mastermind Chancellor Palpatine, who installs himself as emperor, said the film manages to reflect modern events while addressing timeless themes.

" 'It is a film about how easily (freedom) can disappear, how easily we can all be seduced into surrendering it while thinking we're having a good time,' he said. 'It chimes with the zeitgeist.'

Adds McDiarmid: "It's a film that reflects contemporary events, but it is a film. Enjoy the metaphor."

A new generation of Jedi

trevtherev — Tue, 15 Feb 2005 06:13:04 GMT

The tribe's description made me think about an international orginzation dedicated to promoting the ideals listed.

-- charity
-- volunteer work
-- political solutions

A single organization which can voice all one's social concerns sans religion. In fact I can think of only a few international orginizations that are not religion related. Let's say for instance that I would like to get involved in some volunteer work and be sure that my charity contributions are not misused and be involved in penning a solution to campaign finance reform. Imaginge an organization which provides me the structure and quidance to accomplish all these goals. Think globally act locally........ "Keep you concentration here and now where it belongs --- But master yoda said I should be mindful of the future"

Use the Star Wars popularity to get attention and start with a Jedi Creed to establish the goals of the organization. It's basically an organization of people who are not soley motivated by self-intest but rather best for society.

Could it happen?

Ninjas

allan — Mon, 18 Apr 2005 21:48:33 GMT

according to a book I've read called Mind of the Ninja by Kirtland C. Peterson, the ninja actually find truth in the darkness inside themselves. They try to explore the darker sides of life without losing their "inner flame" that keeps them - themselves. They do this for personal power and understanding and as a tool.

This seems completely different compared to the jedi who maybe almost suppress their emotion and darker sides. Anakin obviously wasnt able to and did gain alot of personal power as Darth Vader. He also lost his "inner" flame, at least for a very long time.

Any thoughts? I just sort of liked this view alot more than being good all the time.

Balance...

Zachar — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 20:22:26 GMT

Anakin was prophecized to be the one who will bring balance to the force, right? I've been thinking a lot about what that meant. By the time episode IV come out there are only two Sith, the Emperor and Vader, and only two Jedi, Yoda and Obi-wan. That seems to be, in a way, more balanced than hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith. Then there is the universe of the old republic, which does shift from a seemingly balanced world of light and dark, to a strictly controlled universe of the dark side. What balance was he supposed to bring, because deating all the Sith would certainly unbalance it all as well.

Enter the Dragon: Special Edition

sensei — Thu, 05 May 2005 15:33:10 GMT

Allen brought up Ninjas and exploring the dark side.

On a related topic, I wonder if anyone has seen the special edition of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon?

It looks a LOT like Star Wars in theme and even the way Bruce Lee's master speaks to him in his mind.

And I should mention that Enter the Dragon was produced and created BEFORE Star Wars.

Jedi Mind Tricks - Communion: The Crop Circle Thesis

Thu, 28 Apr 2005 17:10:42 GMT

[Verse 1: El Eloh]
I am he who walks beyond the cycle of Tan
A guinea systematic survey
On the heavens long before the spells of Kimet
I had advanced cosmos journey apologist
Substantiate statements
I commands the aspects of creation
Astronomers cant even interpret my ancient civilisation
Of Andromeda
The Dragon of Dracos come touch the inner sun
I went forth, a life force out of the core of Epsu
Bring forth the possibilities of solar energy into infinity
Like a Nimbo; endless, trapped it, Kingu;
A myth too ignorant Like the Sumerians
Explorer of the solar system like Galileo
Bring the mist of Mahabharata
Celestial God symbolic to the disagreeable complex mathematics
Of the Hebrew bible
Receive and transmit the letters of the Rasqiniaans
Who have seen the 3rd suns
I am like Milton Milankovich
Who outline the theory of ground philosophies
Messiah of all biblical tablets
Watch how the process of creation
links with the measurements of Tan
Scientifical like a geologist
I bring the geological changes to the world
Like the prophecies of the Book of Revelations

[Verse 2]
The compartment allies
Now my device shatters the fusel anomas
And for my dialectical, destroyed innocuous sinconquent
Travel beyond 5 dimensions
A cipher cytoplasm or phantasm
An Orc’s sight;
Antithetical to atoms
I leave you vacuous like an Organtoron, pulses
Facilitate my brain waves, determining what planet I’m on
CyberTron transmit my Mhakabaraso over the sea of influence
Never neglect My lobular units
Stereo-material movements
Painfully Cranials statisticals giving your Cerebral Cortex
Damaging Demigods
Crushing egos, into which a wench began by
Extracting a Trans-cordial
Connections of Macros-manic animals
Caves of sleek stature, once sabbatical
Once bring drama
I’m bright on harrowing lava
Within the Plexus from my anatomical
It gets darker
A sense of urgency
Enters the atmosphere with my excursion
In this Microcosm, a third version!
Specifically a generation
Of Mutated
Warriors from the Nether;
That’s ‘Neva Antiquated’
My flux is like somatic stimulation
As macro-electrolytes converge
Eternal recurrence
My mentals merge; its cyclical
But it revamps its own thesis, Reaching
The premium blend in the communion

[Verse 3: Rasul]
Follow me beyond the cloud
In the stratosphere, to the House of El Huul
It should lead you to a place opposite my heavenly throne
In the temple of ancient Kimet
Who discovered the wonders and the 24 elders
These beings, the Rasqiniaans
Come to enlighten you
With supreme Mathematics
Dramatically stood
12 disagreeable
12 agreeable
7 feet tall in diameter
These elders sit
On the flight in the craft Niburu
Passing through the universe density levels
Heading straight for the wrath of Andromeda
Elliptical physical galaxy
Containing beings in the line of Dracos
Stomping on negative snakes like Broncos
Create magnetic field around my aura
Incapacitating ships
Negative energy creates the spiritual slaughter
Where you dwell in the physical world is horror!
My mind returns to El Yeum
To inform the elders of the incident
In case of the need for assistance
To return to my epic form
From my physical;
And see my soul arise into a sham
Hitting the arcs of Cumulus clouds of Annun
I left my image of a crop circle in the form of a galactical star map
Perhaps to another plane of consciousness

[Verse 4: Ikon The Verbal Hologram]
Through a series of psychological tests
I have been declared a demon
Traveling through dimensions fatal weapons leave you bleeding
Dissecting gray matter, doesn't matter in my cathedral
But how could you stand my timberlands in your cerebral
Faces of space probes be scattered through my mental
Acoustics in my chamber just endanger instrumental
Fundamental rhythms are symbols of paternal power
Get devoured, by my infinite skills to disappear
Getting lost in the holocaust that rage between my ears
Complex like gravity
Tragically and mathematically
I defeat ya squadron black magically
Analyze the tangle
As you get mangled by my triangular rhythms...
Systematic rotations of my words cause cataclysms

[Verse 5: Breath of Judah]
In the farthest universal
At your communion Neffum council
Beings come to some planets in your galaxy
That were most frequently visited
Because life existed there
In various forms and deities it was
Why they explore mars
Gives meanings
Ahnk is Jah, foremost to the firm-land
Super friends of man
Fore-prophesise sight
Tight with a photon of light
Rubber band…
Others in Orion, skies or heaven
Star sections, constellation
Ploughing towards us
Lending aid to help our Taurus
Routine, orbit on the slate, clean
Took a thousand
One fall sure four
Equinox a birth time deemed;
The team of thirteen
Searching our rich natural resources
And minerals
To take back after retrieving
Our responsibilities are fulfilled!
Like the Onus of Annun!
And En Yil!
So build the unstoppable force of Evol-u-TION!

AUM

"No matter what we attempt to do, no matter to what fields we turn our efforts, we are dependent on power. We have to evolve means of obtaining energy from stores which are forever inexhaustible, to perfect methods which do not imply consumption and waste of any material whatever. If we use fuel to get our power, we are living on our capital and exhausting it rapidly. This method is barbarous and wantonly wasteful and will have to be stopped in the interest of coming generations." Nikola Tesla

jaymiles — Wed, 30 Mar 2005 01:45:18 GMT

Hey ~

I need some help for a street promotions project that coincides with the release of the final Star Wars installment, “The Revenge of the Sith”.

To help spread the word about our light sabers, helmets, blasters and other prop replicas, I'm organizing marketing efforts in US cities. We’re planning sweepstakes, discounts, giveaways and special events - all with Stormtroopers and Jedi escorting our street reps.

Here’s where I need YOU! Send me any ideas that you, your Mom, your friends, cousins, classmates, coworkers or parole offices have about the COOLEST CINEMA in the cities listed below. Know which theatre already! has fans lining up? Has the best sound? The best seats? Or is just so cool that you KNOW it’s the place we should be?

Here are the cities we’ll be in, over premiere weekend, May 19, 2005:

NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami, SF,
Boston, Denver, Phoenix, DC,
Atlanta, New Orleans, Orlando,
Minneapolis, Seattle, Dallas and
Austin (TX)

Any ideas, info, tips and scoops are welcome. Also, anyone in these towns looking to help us out should get in touch with me. Spin through our site and check out all the gear we have from Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, AVP and more. I have items ready for trade...

Action Hero Training Camp in Mexico

solomax — Thu, 02 Dec 2004 07:12:56 GMT

In 2000, I experienced a trial of thirst and pain blazing a trail on the Mountain of Death... which led to a vision and a divine opportunity that I want to share with you.

Contemplating death by dehydration on a pathless mountainous mess of thorn bushes, I bargained with the universe to let me live, promising to devote my life to creating a learning center that would teach appreciation for the simplest of things, such as clean drinking water, peace, freedom and friendship.

In 2002, I made a trail up the mountain of Death, lead five boys from the village of Roblito to the top and made a video doc of the adventure for them to enjoy. They lived close to the mountain, but nobody from the village had ever climbed it.

Seed, an art teacher from Louisiana, joined me and we taught art classes in Roblito. We picked up litter scattered around the village, juggled, walked tight rope, caught fish, took pictures and visited the beach. This was the first Action Hero Training Camp.

The next three steps:

#1. The Action Hero Network is a catalyst connecting people and resources for forming collective efforts to create community centers and common spaces.

#2. Action Hero Training Camp brings together talented and inspiring individuals to teach skills and get stoked on mission-focused educational adventures and environmental awareness.

#3. The Roblito Community Center for Cultural Exchange becomes a seasonal eco-village/retreat providing learning and leisure opportunities people of all income levels.

Until recently, I’ve called this project The FAR OUT School. Now I realize this title is too narrow. The FAR OUT School is a journey I’ve created for myself, where I am the principal and the student. I think of being in school as a state of mind, one of openness, curiosity, and exploration, so as long as I am seeking, I am in school. This is the quest I am on…. this is my question. I want to learn how do we make education more fun and purposeful.

The Action Hero Network vision is to promote self-directed learning through action and community involvement. It is the U of You. You get out of it… whatever you put into it. What’s the quest ya on …your question ...your mission?

I invite you to join me and other fun loving friends in Roblito this winter, between New Years and March break… to create your school! We’ll work on our Action Hero-self, wear capes and fuzzy clothes, develop our powers, meet peaceful people, play with kids, make art from trash, sleep in tree house hammocks like monkeys, spend very little money, find quiet places, sing and dance around a fire, swim in waves and water ski, and through all this… create at curriculum connecting natural cycles and community needs. This is the vision that gives me purpose.

I'll be leaving LA around Christmas, driving down to Roblito via Tucson. There is room in my car. Meggio will also drive her van down from San Francisco if there are enough passengers to pay for gas. Taking the bus to Roblito from Tucson costs $70. You can also fly into Mazatlan, and bus south for $10.

Details will continue to be posted at actionhero.tribe.net …. Please add to the thread if you are interested in joining us. Also see www.solomax.com/farout.html for past stories and photos from Roblito.

Please pass this on to others who may be interested.

Have fun and shine on!

some advice please for a wandering Jedi

espsnow — Tue, 15 Mar 2005 23:52:04 GMT

I've dreamed of traveling for a while now. My soul never loved the corporate world working at Geico and I freed myself. Took off to Arizona, travled around for a few weeks. Moved back to VA to care for my Mom. She's all better after a few months now i'm back on the road. While I was in VA I had a great opportunity working for Intregal Yoga a very new age openminded store. I purchased a full seven bowl crystal singing bowl set. They are incredible for meditation and I hope to share them in my travels. I also met a really awsome woman online while searching where I wished to travel. So I left for a week and ended up meeting this woman in Salt Lake. No... she's not mormon hehe .
She is a really cool chick I dig her and i've been here for the past couple weeks living with her. Split rent with her which did hurt my budget as i've not yet found a job. Ultimately I feel like she's kinda drawn me into a serious relationship i'm not ready for. I've tried to talk to her and shes come at me with some serious reactions. She showed me how big of a bitch she can be which she admits... Virgos... /sigh. But I don't think I can deal with that or really want that.
Let me shut up now and get to it...

I believe my lifes mission is to serve. God... the Tao... Humanity... whatever. I'm very spiritual no particular denomination if I had to pick I would be Taoist. In meditation I am constantly reminded my mission is to be selfless. This is something i'm slowly growing into and is amazing. The bowls helped me a lot allowing me to really help and share something with people. Now I want to further my selflessness, letting go of my ego, building on my future skills as an artist. I'm ready to travel if needs be or stay in Salt Lake. I don't think i'm meant to be with this woman which I will tell her shortly.
If you have any advice of some great places, communities, monestaries, schools, or a couch to lend? I think i'd like to continue west as i've never been to California. I also really wanna see Montana, Oregon, Washington... ok hell I wanna go everywhere.

Anyway much love, thanks for reading my plight.

the power of star wars mythology

drc — Wed, 23 Feb 2005 05:25:15 GMT

what is it about the star wars stories that can have such a real, powerful impact? i have had to put in a lot of effort to like and appreciate the last two movies, but even so, the power of the stories seems to be able to burst out of the confines of sometimes uncomfortable quantaties of squirming and groan-worthy movie minutes. the story that the prequels are struggling to express can still inspire passion and inspiration and creativity and change.

Luke's decisions

allan — Sat, 19 Feb 2005 02:18:09 GMT

when luke was on dagobah and about to save his friends, obi-wan and yoda advised him not to go and that it would destroy everything they had worked for for. What did this mean exactly? I have been thinking about it.

Also I thought that maybe Luke taking his own decisions into his own hands was part of what made him a Jedi. the fact that he thought for himself - in doing the right thing. Maybe thats what makes up a Jedi. There are probably basic codes of conduct for jedi...but maybe its up all to the person to make the right decisions to help others.

what do you think?

Aliens and underground cities - Star wars for real.

Solar Bob told me about a coal burning power plant to be built in the Black Rock Desert.... yes the site of our lovefest Burning Man.

He said that the power would go to Yucca Moutain to build an underground city. A bit of searching found these links:

http://www.ufoarea.com/bases_top_secret.html

http://www.elfdata.com/darkside/lfa/masterindex.html

...and well... See for yourself.

I'm blown away. There is energy to dig holes... deep, deep down... but no money for schools. This today's journal... sharing some key links:

Anyone out there know about other cool underground parties we could crash?

Stay open... and shine on!

RIGHT F$$KING NOW
IN A GALAXY RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE
(2K3)
----------------------------------------------

how many of our offspring
will be forced to sing
the same old song
will be fed to the greed machine
slowly, surely turning green
as they chug along
in fossile-fuel burning earthcraft
turned green by rot and corruption
green like a dollar bill gathering lint
in the pocket of a three-piece suit
purchased with absconded tax money
fear and envy knocked back into their toxic hearts
feeling funny, tasting like honey
mixing together nicely like their
poisonous compulsory post-workaday cocktails
as they watch the storm-troopers roll by like snails
and wait for ineffective public transit
to herd them home from their timeclocks?
how many drops of blood squeezed from rocks
will they swallow
before they refuse to wallow
in the job-sty?
how long will they suffer
how long will they cry
before they refuse to pay
some boss's salary with their labor
how long before they light up a saber
and decide not to say, "someday....
someday some hero
will show me what it means to be a jedi..."
don't think you are radical beacause of the ring inyour nose
your red eyes, your long hair, or your tattered modest clothes!
!START NOW!
what you do or do not do matters, not what you try
Force your oppressors to respect you without telling lies
don't abuse The Force & it'll protect you
erect you infinite column of light
and you will BE what is right
BE the secret weapon that wins the fight
without fighting
without even lighting up your saber!
some people think i'm mad as a hatter
or that i lie
when i say The Force is with them
but it's true
and so it is with you
YOU have the power
to break your bonds
and lead all your people on
to freedom!
just let The Force flow,
let your hatred go
and you will know
what the future holdes
what to do and what not to do.
