This thread is intense.

My first post on this website will be to say a word or two about my favourite band.

 

Or about 700

 

My point is, music has the power to change peoples hearts, like personal tradgedy will change your heart.

 

That I do agree on, Coldplay are one hell of a personal tragedy for myself.

I'm No Psychic but...

 

I seem to remember writing something here recently about the ocean currents screwing up and that will lead to colder weather for Europe and .... The British Isles?

 

I could rent myself out as as psychic now with my track record. Soon I will be walking on water...

 

Or, on Jellyfish so thick in the water you can walk on them, like you apparently could walk on the salmon run in early eastern Canda. My how times have changed.

 

 

What is this economic meltdown about anyway, is it a metaphor for something? Why is it that man is continually unhappy when he is perpetually at the center of paradise? Not enough wobbly pop or pills?

 

I guess the reason for that is not everyone sees this world as a paradise, and maybe only people who for some reason feel close to an internal God, might feel that. Because I think that unless you are able to actually have an internal experience of that actual power, by whatever means (music is good / if the universe is one vibration as some mystics and scientists now think, then music might actually be a way to feel God, or at least, feel GOOD.

 

I think it is a common experience for many people who practice some kind of art form, where your mind and you cease to be two things, and you just feel good, because you have turned on the internal feel good tap, simply by concentrating the mind. It's too simple.

 

So maybe if I was some beer swilling yahoo I wouldn't see what I do, which isn't much really, I only look at what's happening and then make a statement about what may happen. But I am always surprised when some new freak weather event happens. Which I predicted, a week after it happened.

 

But really, what if we have really screwed up the ocean current conveyor with all that fresh water, which has a higher specific gravity than salt water. Does anyone know what happens when you disturb the orderly harmonic existence of the substance covering 9/10ths of the planets surface? That is one shit load of water. And, get this, there is a pile of plastic twice the size of Texas, free floating in the ocean somewhere out there. Bird Island maybe?

 

I don't, do you, do they? The US sub mariner geological survey released formerly classified marterials showing about 40% ice loss from underneath the water, that's on top of all the calving that goes on.

 

Meanwhile in Australia, you can cook your dinner without a stove now.

 

Is this meltdown a metaphor for mankind's frustration with being so lost, and if there is a God, why does he not rescue us?

 

Why? Because the real God of this universe takes cash only, no credit, no smoke and mirrors, and no hoo-haa either. And certainly not any silliness.

 

I live in a "nice" neighbourhood, in what is routinely called one of the most livable cities in the world, and I can tell you unequivocally that many people here are what I would call "happiness challenged". Like they have looked everywhere and just can't find it.

 

That because it's inside, which of course is a cliche, unless you happen to be experiencing that.

 

For me, the issue is not: there is no god, so relax and enjoy life. For me, it's more like: there is a God, which lives in me and you and this God by it's own very nature, is the POWER of LIFE ITSELF... nothing more and nothing less. It contains everything within itself and it is only in a plane of existence like this that we think we are the image in the mirror, when in reality we are the observer looking into the mirror.

 

I believe we were conscious before life and are so after death. And some peole are even conscious in this life. But you would'nt know it by what goes on here down on Planet Panic.

 

So good luck as you all ride out this minor downturn in reality the world seems to be suffering through.

 

At least Chris Martin isn't so bummed out that he can't write anymore, which is good, because if that day ever happens, we are all going to have to track him (them) down and have a mass intervention to re-float the band, are we agreed?

 

And may the Chris be with you as breath your last breath and wonder what was it all about.

???

 

What's a hoo-haa?

Meanwhile in Australia, you can cook your dinner without a stove now.

 

:laugh4: You what...!!!

Well if you count microwaveable dinners, hes spot on. Too bad the rest of the world doesnt have this magical microwave technology.

:laugh4: You what...!!!

 

I agree with this statement.

Drifting....

 

So is the world in a state of free drift now? Is any one person or group of people acting in any way possible, is that going to alter our collective future, whatever that may be?

 

It is ironic and extremely disturbing that, during the time England gets it's most severe snow levels in 18 years and the next day gets all of February's normal rain fall in one day, the drought and fire in Australia have now made cooking with a stove redundant.

 

Is Nature trying to tell us something? Is this economic meltdown a metaphor or barometer for what is occurring INSIDE NATURE, where we cannot see with our SCIENCE?

 

Is this not really Nature saying to humankind: "The game is over and now you must look into the mirror of your own existence and ask yourself... why are you alive NOW?

 

Why are you now a conscious entity in a human body, and what is your role in life on this world?

More of the same, let's all compete and hope everything works out in the end? Let's all just settle for a second rate, permanantly happiness challenged world?

 

Darwin was wrong, it's not survival of the fittest, it's survival of the co-operative, as in a wolf pack co-operates to make a kill and survive. They do not compete, not even separate packs. Somewhere along the line, the "marketmind" got a hold of this idea, and immediately saw the ultimate "philisophical camouflage" for their economic nightmare they have been "refining" for decades...

 

Until we now down loaded the doomsday version... wallstreetchaos1.oops.

 

I heard a very good interview with James Lovelock who believes the world is a conscious being, and who also believes it is way to late to change our environmental fate, no matter what we do now.

 

I happen to believe that we have already melted way too much polar ice (40% north and south / and that is from underneath, and above the water line), such that it has now disturbed the oceanic current conveyor, which among other things, will bring cold to Europe . Grow food? Sell snow?

 

And just recently they announce that perhaps one or a few or... Arctic (or Antarctic) ice shelves are about to go swimming and instead of the world oceans rising by only a few centimetres here and there (so don't worry), they now think that some areas will rise significantly (7m).

 

A big part of the problem with the previous "melting understanding" was that no one realized that the already frozen ice is acting as a gravity anchor for the worlds oceans right now. Take that anchor away and oceans will gravitate to... your shore line!.

 

Oops, it seems that the wizards of Expansion failed to factor in PLANETARY FORCES in their economic prognostications, half truths and deception they hold up as reality for everyone else believe in.

 

I know I sound a little negative at times but we have been using the atmosphere, land and oceans as an industrial sewer for over 200 years now and I just don't think we can get out of this caper without some serious collateral damage.

 

20 million Chinese factory workers are now going back to work at no job and millions of "new" Chinese workers are looking to land their first "no job". Here is a hint: the primary "product" of the old system was to create profit, a secondary result was "jobs". Why not have a system where the primary purpose is creative / cooperative employment, and profit gets nailed to a cross and burned alive.

 

Have a pleasant Economic Depression.

 

May the Chris be with you as you too wish you were not Chris Martin, all the time.

 

 

PS, catch my very boring and same sounding amateur music on indabamusic.com / search rob driscoll

Thanks and...

 

I do read all the stuff you other folks write, besides my three blind devotees. It's lonely being a lunatic, visionary, musical dreamer.

I Read the News Today Oh Boy....

 

When I started this thread, or what ever it is, (my mind in space / the space between your ears), I had no idea what so ever that the world would become so completely fucking haywire so God damn fast.

 

Whether it is the world economy / circus or the global warming button, it really is clear to me that mankind could use a good stiff spiritual intervention. What cha goona do when the stuff runs out? I personally believe that this world is on the brink of environmental cataclysm which will force us to co-operate for our own collective planetary survival.

 

Maybe that is the grand lesson / plan here. How do we teach the arrogant, self deluded humans to be more human? Bring down and destroy everything they believe in and trust? We humans have everything upside down, and we have ourselves convinced that anything else would be like saying that the earth is not flat... but roundish. Which, as every civilized person knows, even through the worst alcohol hangover, would be shear heresy, right?

 

Wrong, because this world is about to bite back hard and we are the target. There are no wild bee colonies left in North America, for starters. What's the big deal with no plant life fertilization you say? Multiply that scenario by a thousand other more severe and bizarre events now going on in Nature, the consequences of which we do not understand at all, because we only see the iceberg above the water. We are in effect, "future blind".

 

And yesterday, the lead scientist with the Inter-governmental panel on Climate Change says that, oops, because we did not factor in the massively huge amounts of COAL which China and India etc have burned since 2001, then every prediction /model we have made about future weather intensity / frequency events are... useless. Hang on to that blanket, Charlie Brown.

 

Maybe James Lovelock is right and humanity is metaphorically akin to being on a pleasure craft, in party mode, about two feet from the edge of Niagara Falls, blissfully unaware of the problem they face (snap back combing form nature), as a response to the imbalance we have caused.

 

And maybe it will be 1957 forever? That would be very cool indeed, but as we all know Arnold Shawartzenager changed all that with T1. The rude unknown future comes and smacks you in the face before we ever see clearly. Maybe this is Gods way of teaching man that only love is of value in the end.

 

We leave with what we came with, nothing more and nothing less, except the love we shared in life. Only in this fantastic dream called life, which is powered by love alone, can we actually get to be what we dreamed we could be, as in, God incarnates as you, so you can experience"life", and into that life you will be born and learn a lesson. In that lesson you will find meaning, and in that meaning you will find peace. The peace which has always been, existing forever, in the last place you would ever think to look...

 

Inside of YOU. Because everything else is only scenery, part of the set. Even the jewelry, it's just costume. When you can never again feel sadness, loss, empathy or ever cry again, then you are dead.

 

 

May the Chris be with you as this world melts and a new one is born.

 

 

Are the Washington State show tickets on sale yet? Did I miss something?

MoneyasDebt

 

If any of you want to go to a fascinating website and learn how bankers ruined the world by making money out of thin air, go to... moneyasdebt.net

 

It scared the living shit out of me how it all works and this one hour cartoon style internet revolution in a laptop is information the bank community wishes that you were unaware of.

 

I also got tickets to the June show here in Vancouver. Thanks for adding the extra shows!

 

I have a blog now on mybarackobma.com as I am really more politics etc than one liners.

 

I also have some music up on idaba.com / search robertdriscoll, it is my eric satie side. I'm going to have a lot nmore up soon, as soon as I learn how to upload bigger files.

You can also find out if your boss wants you dead. (of course we're only talking about the good ol' US of A, market leaders blah blah blah and all that)

So, anyone a victim of corporate-owned life insurance? Anyone who answers yes still fancy increasing the population of the good ol' UK from our West instead of our East? We have a juicy carrot of free national health care even when you're pissed and in need of your stomach pumping!

Nice bump Ian
