The Rattlesnake's mind is such that it is very much predictable as to how it will behave, like the positions it will take when threatened. <br /><br />Humans on the other hand look very similiar on the exterior, but you very much cannot ultimately predict what lurks in the minds of a particular human. It might behave like a dove on the outside but in reality a lion may lurk within. <br /><br />These notions do not, and cannot exist within the Rattlesnake because of the nature of its minds form. The snake is not going to think to itself, I'll just act friendly so I can get up close to this human which will make it easier for me to bite them. A Rattlesnake is not like a politician who will say all sorts of things on the outside completely opposite to what they intend on the inside :-)Hotspringswizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215356654367335612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-39556394435909502262010-08-05T12:45:32.721-07:002010-08-05T12:45:32.721-07:00So from this template of grey flesh you will alway...So from this template of grey flesh you will always see propogated generaly the same amount of war pigs, plunders, and other ill minded people of negative intent, a very large component of people who mostly just go along for the ride, and a minority of more independent thinkers who tend to hold dear ideas of the " higher minded " moral and ethical content. Of course this is a very basic generalization, with the actual range being far more complex. <br /><br />The ideas discussed above is why I don't expect at all for there ever to be some " grand awakening " of humanity to the extent that the basic interplay and patterns of human behavior will be altered to something differant than the tumultous mess it has been through human history. The sharks will never be moved in any significant way from fullfilling the destiney that emenates from their form/species. <br /><br />So as Dave Eriqat spoke of, I too think the best we can do is to follow the path within as best we can, according to the species we are. I do think our actions can change certain things in the world, people around us, like seeds planted that sometimes grow given the right conditions, but the greater human terrain will continue on in much the similiar fashion to what it always has. <br /><br />Evolution will cause changes in the grey flesh, but these are alterations that can only occur over incredibly vast timescales, and what direction that takes, and what new species evolves, is something we can not truly determine ( like for expample we might become even a more violent as a species as apposed to becoming more benevolent ). <br /><br />Its a jungle out there and survival of the fittest is a basic species theme, one of the most primary driving forces of human action, so as we see this ongoing collapse unfold, I fully expect the sharks to increase in number, and their rapacious activities to grow in intensity. <br /><br />I am of the species that cares about my fellow man, I care about truth and being responsible, honesty and stuff like that. I'll be spending my time trying to instill these ideas in those around me ( like my children ) since I think this is what makes life worthwhile, meaningful. The sharks will always be circling and threatening so we will all have to do our best to deal with, or avoid the mayhem and carnage that is constantly perpetrated by these types. <br /><br />Now I must add that I have nothing against natures " real " shark species of so many types. I think it is tragic that their numbers are plummeting due to the various activities of the " human " sharks who like to kill the natural ones, eating their fins for soup as one example!Hotspringswizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215356654367335612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-91892380562927583862010-08-05T12:43:08.282-07:002010-08-05T12:43:08.282-07:00Great points you have made there Dave Eriqat! That...Great points you have made there Dave Eriqat! Thats sure enough the way I feel about it too. I see you make the reference to there being differant human " species ". I have thought of humans as being differant species for a long time, and actually I was thinking of posting some thoughts here on that subject lately.<br /><br />To me the similarity of human form between the peoples of the world which might imply that at some base level there is some sameness to us all disquises to varying extents the incredibly vast differances within this exterior form. The grey flesh blob within each of us, represents diversity every bit as great as the range of life forms you would find in any complex web of life, like that found in a tropical forest.<br /><br />Just like the vast differances between a lion and a mouse people within are just as far removed from eachother. Some forms are clearly closer to others in mental framwork than others. <br /><br />So when I look at all of the crap that goes on in this world, I think it can be looked on as an increadibly variety of human mind species interacting with eachother. For example the plunders and war pigs are sharks for example. Thats what they make me think of regarding how they operate. There is a reason they have evolved to be what they are in the course of their breif lives. Why they came to be this way of course is infinitely complex, but it is a real ongoing process.<br /><br />So just like there is a pattern to the the structure of a tropical forest, there are consistent patterns to the ongoing nature and landscape of human mental diversity. Throughout any time we can look back on and reconstruct some history of human groups/civilization, the basic structure of the mind, the " form " it takes has been essentially the same. <br /><br />continuedHotspringswizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215356654367335612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-42331773053446622612010-08-05T09:58:34.577-07:002010-08-05T09:58:34.577-07:00Mrs. P.,

I've been driving up a mountain road to work in a summer cabin at about 7,000 ft every day now for a month. Still have a couple of weeks work. Above the road that switch-backs up the north canyon face are awesome granite rockslide, severely undercut by the road scarp.

The only possible solution today is for ea...Part 2<br /><br />The only possible solution today is for each individual to “check out” of the system, and there’s the rub. The vast majority of people have neither the courage to think for themselves nor the ability to imagine anything better. They are, for all intents and purposes, brain-dead drones, a condition exacerbated by their steady diet of fluoride, junk food, medications and so forth. These people will never change and are beyond redemption. So you have a vast majority of blobs who will simply go along with the system and do what they’re told, a tiny minority of sick fucks – psychopaths – who are currently running the show and profiting richly from it, and finally a tiny minority of free thinkers who want to live and let live, be honorable and kind to their fellow men, live in harmony with nature and all those other good ideals.<br /><br />I consider myself to be one of the latter species and cannot imagine myself belonging to either of the others. With the system stacked against me in the first place and my unwillingness to support the corrupt system in the second, the only solution I’ve found for myself is to “check out,” avoid the “system” as much as possible, be as self-sufficient as possible and cherish a futile hope that things will somehow improve in the future, for that’s all that’s left really, hope. Unfortunately, I fear that the psychopaths in control today are too much in control and that the only way things will change is after they destroy everything, including a lot of innocent bystanders, which is what we’re seeing today, what with their economic destruction, soon to be followed by the physical destruction of a new world war (as if we’re not already in a world war, what with three active war fronts). Admittedly, mine is a grim view of the future, but can anyone argue with it?<br /><br />Sadly, any real improvement may be a long way off, perhaps generations from today. Instead of lamenting a future I may never see, I intend to enjoy my life as much as possible today and hope that things don’t get too awful. Should conditions deteriorate to the point that it’s impossible to enjoy life any longer, I am fully prepared to walk away from “civilization,” literally, Jeremiah Johnson-style.<br /><br />One of my favorite quotations is from the TV show Kung Fu: “No, grasshopper, evil cannot be conquered in the world. It can only be resisted within oneself.” That’s how I try to live my life. Who knows, if enough people adopt such a philosophy and “check out” of the system, perhaps we can slowly create a de facto, grassroots alternative to the present system. That’s long been one of my dreams as well, but it remains to be seen if that can happen. Regardless, any improvement must come from the individuals. Improvement will never originate within the existing system, for it should be obvious that any improvement for the people would result in a loss to those running the system. People who continue to place their hopes for change in politicians who are part of the ruling system will continue to be disappointed, although most don’t even seem to be aware that they’re being let down.<br /><br /><a href="http://daveeriqat.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Dave - Erstwhile Urban Wanderer</a>Dave Eriqatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-80234826987406704192010-08-05T04:42:07.614-07:002010-08-05T04:42:07.614-07:00Part 1 (apparently there is a 4096 character limit...Part 1 (apparently there is a 4096 character limit on comments)<br /><br />You know, “civilization” was the brainchild of psychopaths. Imagine a bunch of prehistoric people living off the land, equals in the eyes of nature. Then along comes one sick bastard who thinks, “Hey, I could declare myself king and make all these disorganized slobs work for me.” Over time the regimented, structured model of “civilization” is refined and becomes deeply ingrained in our collective psyches, with nobody questioning whether civilization actually works for them. Meanwhile, those at the top are loving civilization, which has never worked better for them than it does today. Even the “robber baron” era didn’t come close to the rape and pillage we’re witnessing today.<br /><br />Organized resistance is futile; the powers-that-be have too much control and have systematically crafted the system over a period of centuries for their benefit, eventually mastering every minute detail of control. Christ, look at “protesting” today. Protesters, if they’re permitted to “protest” at all, are corralled into “free speech zones,” well away from that against which they’re protesting. Those that dare to engage in spontaneous protests are simply rounded up en masse and warehoused in massive cages, charged with nothing, denied food, water and medical attention and ultimately released, a form of psychological torture intended to deter future unauthorized protests.<br /><br /><a href="http://daveeriqat.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Dave - Erstwhile Urban Wanderer</a>Dave Eriqatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-9276207174501919102010-08-05T00:06:27.298-07:002010-08-05T00:06:27.298-07:00Yeah Randy, there has been alot of talk and indica...Yeah Randy, there has been alot of talk and indications ( internet info and such ) off and on, especially in the last couple of years about attacking Iran. Seems like the intensity is ramping up again. Could they really be that stupid knowing what a pandora's box they will unleash doing that? <br /><br />I was reading an article last night that suggested any attack would involve airstrikes and then efforts to foment revolution within Iran. I can't see where they will have any real capacity to put troops on the ground besides special opps. I was watching one of the main US generals today talking about the idea that " everything is still on the table " and that they really didn't want to attack Iran but they may very well have to.

Someone called hubby this a.m. with the same name as our landlord and thinking it was, I was holding my breath that it wasn't a call to say we'd have to move. If we ever made it over to the EU, hubby would want to bring his GS motorcycle or rent one, this would make the "adventure" all the more fun and mobile.<br /><br />We'd love to see Belgium and the history, buildings etc. I bet it's beautiful. I was just sayin last night how we should get more focused on plans for a trip to somewhere far like NZ and OZ. but hubby thinks we should try baby steps and enjoy our own backyard, up the coast etc. which we've done before but several years ago. <br /><br />It's terrible how stuck we get and never get out of Dodge. Hopefully someday when hubby retires, (could be too late by then), or at least slows down a bit, we'll get it together and do some traveling. This could be a ways off. I think a visit to some farm in southern europe or NZ, I might not want to come back here. But we have a hard time just going away for the weekend as there's always something more important and everything is so expensive too. We really need to just take a break once in a while but can't seem to get it together.<br /><br />Last night we watched "Creation" which is a fantastic bit of photography! A truly beautiful film about Darwin played by Paul Bethany who was the "barker" in "A Night's Tale"--another great film with a fun soundtrack! The insane cinema photography in this period movie, "Creation" is excellent and keeps the story within a story moving along. Worth a watch! mrs pmrs phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275668463785789879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-80358275611313926322010-08-04T09:23:21.520-07:002010-08-04T09:23:21.520-07:00Hi RAS...Wow 110 you shouldn't have to budge a...Hi RAS...Wow 110 you shouldn't have to budge an inch in that heat. Is it dry heat or humid? The humidity kills me. I'd be in the tub w/ice cubes and a fan. <br /><br />It's great to hear your friend is doing better but I forgot to mention this herbal suppliment my daughter got me--it's been proven through research to promote health and is a strong antioxidant with pathogen inhibiting properties. Sounds so serious but it's just Olive Leaf Extract powder in a clear capsule. Supposedly used for centuries to promote good health. The brand we have is called "natural factors". I think this herbal is fairly popular now ever since that 60 minutes show on old age European Grandpa's, (Greeks and Italians)in their 80's still making babies and working. Bizzare huh. I think it's available in drugstores too. I've taken it a few times for a few days and actually noticed a difference in how I felt.<br /><br />Hotsprings, yes we do live in (northern) San Diego county but our micro climate is very similar to the S.D. bay area. When they do the temps for San Diego they use "Lindberg Field" a lot which is where the main S.D. airport is and just a stones throw off the bay, Shelter Island, Point Loma, etc. where the boats are. Last summer and the one before seemed "hotter" than normal but this summer is like a northern Cal or Central Coast Cal type summer. All the water people, bodysurfers, surfers and lifeguards alike are mentioning how cold the water is. <br /><br />But come Sept/Oct we could heat up a lot more and usually do. I seem to remember last year we even had some real hot days in November. As a teenager I remember occasional Santa Ana's on Christmas day even, but that was rare. Our family has been in San Diego area since the 50's and the summers (which can be late) have been getting hotter but so far not this one.mrs phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275668463785789879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-28424358224746827942010-08-04T04:50:25.371-07:002010-08-04T04:50:25.371-07:00Richie's going to be okay!

I don't even want to go outside. This has been the hottest summer I've ever seen here and it's not supposed to get any better at least through the end of the weekRASnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-35870603556722542522010-08-03T20:23:07.628-07:002010-08-03T20:23:07.628-07:00good piece of writing, Mrs. P

He mentioned that its been really cold so far this summer down there. Sounds like you ( Mrs P ) may live somewhere down that way too.<br /><br />Out here in the high desert the weather all summer has been pretty much a broken record, like ground hog day. Only one day of thunderstorms with lightning so far this year in this area. The night temps have dropped down into the low 70's every night which has been real nice, allowing us to cool down the house each evening by opening up the windows. Usually we have more heat by now. <br /><br />Freeacre in reference to that solar burst you mentioned I saw on the news today that there may be some " northern lights " type actvivity in the US northern states this evening. Maybe you may see something in your skies tonight :-)Hotspringswizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215356654367335612noreply@blogger.com
