Reflections in a Petri Dish – Aug 18, 2020

Dog Poet Transmitting…….

Any day now… tick… tick… tick… ‘IT’ is going to happen. What is, ‘IT’? I don’t know. I ‘suspect’ that ‘IT’ will be a series of events which result from a TRIGGER moment. Think of it as being something like an electric shock, which enters the body through some point, be it a finger, or a foot; whatever part of the body it is that makes contact with the force. Then the electric surge will move through the form, setting off sensations at every meridian point of its passage. Think of it as being along the lines of ♫The toe bone’s connected to the foot bone, The foot bone’s connected to the ankle bone, The ankle bone’s connected to the leg bone, Now shake dem skeleton bones!♫

For some reason, I feel compelled to include the following commentary. It keeps coming back on and so, I will go ahead and get it out of my head and then move on with the rest of the post. My apologies in advance if I offend anyone. Many famous musicians, singers, entertainers in general, are not very nice people. Unless you run into them on a personal level, you might not know this because of the nonsense and lies being ground out- 24/7 by the Publicity Mill. All famous people need and have publicists. They need them… because… as I already said, they are not very nice people. Think of how your attitude might be if you had to walk around with a hairnet of flies and mosquitoes every time you went out in public.

I KNOW they are ‘generally’ not very nice people because I have met many of them and if I EVER get this autobiography written, there will be many an anecdotal tidbit concerning the same. It is common knowledge to those who have the misfortune of running into him that Neil Young is not a very nice person. He hates the president for using his songs at campaign events. I doubt that President Trump is responsible for the music used at his events. That is more likely handled by campaign staff and even more likely the result of experts in the field of public manipulation. There are experts for picking a jury and experts on social graces (or the lack of them). There are now experts for just about anything these days. There are, no doubt, experts on the ingredients used to cook up a successful public display.

Neil is the author of one of the most poorly written songs I have EVER heard. It runs through my mind (unfortunately) on occasion after it plays in some movie or on the radio in the following fashion; ♫“I’ve been through the desert on a whore with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain. In the desert, you can remember your name ‘Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain’”. It’s that last line that drives me up the wall. The song also includes gems like this “Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love.” Songs are complex items, OR NOT. They have an atmosphere and often people only barely hear whatever the singer is singing and these days… since the lyrics are as bad as they are, in nearly every case, the lyrics are made incoherent.

Neil Young is just one of many who have no contact with the world that THEIR MONEY HAS INSULATED THEM FROM. Now he enters the Curmudgeon Zone. This is where you wind up when the right work hasn’t been done on yourself and you get old instead of ‘young’ which, for Neil, in this case, turns out to be some kind of Double Compadre.

I recognize the danger of criticizing another, especially considering how worthy I myself am of criticism, just as any other man is. Masters don’t do this you might say. Ah… yes, they do, I have directly heard it occur more than once. That said, I am no master and I thank God Above that I am able to know and understand this because… The Purpose of Demonstration awaits for anyone who presumes to permit themselves to be called a master when they are not.

Certain qualities and talents, God does not hand out like candy at the dentists. It’s a known fact to those who know it (grin) that it is often the case that you HAVE TO have certain qualities to get certain talents. The cost of abusing these talents are high and Heaven bears a cost too for handing them out so… some discretion is used but THE FLESH IS WEAK. If you want to hold on to particular VERY HARD TO GET abilities, you have to toe that metaphysical line, unless you have a dispensation but that is going to come with a price for you on the back end too, unless you got put through it for one of those mysterious reasons for which God is so famous.

You know why so many of these sleazy world-famous personalities are famous right? And most certainly the shameless pop tarts of the moment? Satan does it in hopes that it embarrasses Heaven to see humanity portrayed as badly drawn and clueless morons. Heaven has high hopes for humanity and piss poor role models are not the way to reach Heaven’s goals. It’s also a matter of Karma and whatever dreams coursed through that person in their last go-round. We get the opportunity to be and do ANYTHING OR ANYONE at one time or another here. As soon as you start putting the energy of thought into it, the plastic composition of existence begins to draft the blueprint and shape itself accordingly.

The actual cost of Celebrity is EXCEEDINGLY GREAT. You may well not know that if you are not a celebrity. Some people… and these days… many people are willing to do practically anything to be a celebrity. They don’t even care what it is, as long as they can be famous for it. A new theme leaped upon the scene recently… some years ago actually BUT… recently within the parameters of cosmic time. It’s called Reality TV. I don’t know where the inception occurred. Maybe it was MTV and Big Brother. At some point, Ryan Seacrest and Andy Cohen came along and took a simple infection and turned it into a plague pandemic. If you want to see the length to which people will go to be famous you only have to watch some amount of this… this… this… Yikes! I don’t even know what to call it. I have taken BRIEF excursions into this realm. Literally, a few minutes here and there, just to get a sense of the nature of the beast. Now people are famous for being famous and for NO OTHER REASON. The days of actually having to be able to sing and dance or credibly act, or paint, or draw a straight line ARE OVER.

People have made hundreds of millions of dollars from this medium. Each of the Kardashian, Strega Clan have made several hundreds of million dollars. One of them has now made over a billion dollars. You might well ask yourself; “How did this happen?” It is no accident. It DID NOT just appear. It was intentionally designed and NOT BY HUMAN AGENCY. There is a war going on, a spiritual war and the prize is the human soul. From one perspective you can look at it as a competition between the Supernal and Infernal realms. From another perspective, you can see it as a movie and it certainly is a movie in the way that a dream is a movie that is screened in your head by the subconscious. The players are allocated parts BASED ON their predispositions and previous roles at other times, in other movies. The whole of it is far too complex for me to dissect in a limited presentation of this nature.

Lat Tzu said in one of his 81 segments of teaching, something like; ‘when a country is well ruled the people do not even know who their leader is. He barely seems to exist. It is worse when they love and admire him, even worse when they fear him and worst of all when they laugh at him.’ Where do you think we are now? He also said;

“A man of sure fitness, without making a point of his fitness,
Stays fit;
A man of unsure fitness, assuming an appearance of fitness,
Becomes unfit.
The man of sure fitness never makes an act of it
Nor considers what it may profit him;
The man of unsure fitness makes an act of it
And considers what it may profit him.
However a man with a kind heart proceed,
He forgets what it may profit him;
However a man with a just mind proceed,
He remembers what it may profit him;
However a man of conventional conduct proceed, if he be not complied with
Out goes his fist to enforce compliance.
Here is what happens:
Losing the way of life, men rely first on their fitness;
Losing fitness, they turn to kindness;
Losing kindness, they turn to justness;
Losing justness, they turn to convention.
Conventions are fealty and honesty gone to waste,
They are the entrance of disorder.
False teachers of life use flowery words
And start nonsense.
The man of stamina stays with the root
Below the tapering,
Stays with the fruit
Beyond the flowering:
He has his no and he has his yes.”

I used to take LSD, in those days when it was as pure as the snowfall in the Himalayas and I would take the acid and then take my copy of the Witter Bynner translation of The Way of Life and reads it for hours upon hours, more than several times in a row, with the idea of IMPRINTING it on my mind; carving it into the walls of my consciousness (if there is such a thing). I don’t know how many times I did this. It was a lot. Everything one would ever need to know about moving successfully through life and avoiding its unpleasantness can be found in that book. A CAREFUL reading of that text, if even partially comprehended, WILL change your life, most especially if you follow the admonitions. You REALLY can’t go wrong following the course of thought and action laid out there. I don’t have a physical copy of the book now. When I have a copy it is never for long because I ALWAYS wind up giving it away, so it can gather dust at whatever location the one I gave it to sets it down in.

Sometimes I forget how determined I was when I was young. I am no less determined now. The only difference between then and now is that now it is almost all of the time and then it was in spurts of intensity until false life intruded, or somehow got my attention and YOU HAVE TO WATCH THAT! It can get your attention to the extent that you NEVER get it back in that go round. I have observed and do observe this often. This is all about that ‘window’ I have mentioned when one’s mind is engaged in rapid bursts of growth and change. Then the window closes. It doesn’t have to but we are PRESSED to adapt and to integrate into false life. Decades down the road… if it lasts that long, moments WILL come when the person wonders, “What happened?”

In these times, the force of sensation is so great that it is no surprise so many people are caught up in it. When I was getting therapy for my shoulder recently, I used to see, nearly every time I was there, clients being treated, limbs manipulated, etc and they would be scrolling or hammering on their cellphones, unaware that they were even being worked on. Youtube has THOUSANDS of video clips of people falling into holes, walking into walls, getting hit by cars; you name it they got it. You CANNOT see all of them. There are too many BUT it isn’t considered the public health problem that it is. It’s the same with alcohol, drugs, sex… whatever people like getting up to so that they CAN FORGET THEMSELVES. That’s what it’s all about. When you don’t know who you are, there is a basic unease that exists and sooner or later there is mounting pressure to escape that uncertainty.

It is sad what a buzz killer religion is. It turns so many smart people off to the spiritual side of existence. Unfortunately for them, that is the ONLY PLACE where succor, serenity, and sanctuary can be found. You won’t find it in the world. What you will find in the world is an ever-increasing sense of doubt and confusion, attended by mounting fear as the end, the inescapable end, approaches. It is right around the corner this very day, this very hour for some but many do not know this.

Make the Greatest Commandment the centerpiece of your life and the table will ALWAYS be set in this manner;

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”

End Transmission…….
