You make a critical mistake in your analysis, perhaps you know and just phrased 
it poorly.  
Reality is not subject to perception - nor is it influenced by perception - 
Reality is Reality.

Certainly experience and knowledge color how one perceives a given reality. 
Take the 
question of whether the redevelopment is a success or not.

The less one knows about it the more positive the opinion based upon cursory 
observations. Sensory inputs tip the scale.

The more one knows about it the more negative the opinion based upon the facts

Its not unreasonable for someone to visit, have a good time, do some research

I have to respectfully disagree with your assertion. Any given individuals 
perception is their reality. No one can state something as reality without it 
being skewed by their perception. So I guess you can say my reality is that 
perception is reality.

Well exactly who would pay for it and what would the turn out be?  
Haven't we all learned that you can't just spend money without any 
thoughts about what the reason is for the spending.  The town has no 
money (12 million deficit) and MM has already spent millions without 
any payback as of yet.

It's not about spending for the economy's sake. It's about spending responsibly.
Too many of our citizens are over there heads in debt. Too many people bought 
homes they 
couldn't afford. I think that's what Oak is talking about.
We also need to curb predatory creditors that pray on people's inability to

How about spending smarter and/or healthier?

It's great when it's coming in - if you/your spouse or family have 
seen no impact or worried about job security-  then spend away.

But those who live day by day check to check or have other concerns - 
really have to pay attention to where it goes.

The old fashioned way:

Column A - what comes in
Column B - what goes out and where

Eating less is a good way to save your life and money.

The portions some places serve and the prices they charge saves your 
body but empties your wallet.

[AsburyPark] Re: How come no one

2009-01-20 Thread Jack Pitzer
You know what was great for me on the eating less issue?
Finding out I have high blood pressure.
First thing I learned was how to live a low sodium lifestyle. Awesome and 
healthy.
Second thing was I had a really long bout with insomnia, so my dr prescribed 
Ambien.
In order for Ambien to work, you have to take it on an empty stomach, which in 
general is 
3 hours after eating dinner. So, that meant no more before the bed snacking.
Now my BP is normal, I'm sleeping like a baby, and I'm losing weight.
Love it.

[AsburyPark] Re: Reality vs Rose Colored Glasses

2009-01-20 Thread Jennifer
-I am not quibbling on the definition of reality.  It is the way that
things actually exist.  The reason I said I was writing as a counselor
is because human beings see reality through perception.  That isn't an
argument.  It simply is something that needs to be seen when dealing
with human behavior.  Arguing with someone who is optimistic about the
same reality that another is pessimistic about is not going to change
their view.  We all see through the prism of our own perception.  

It is interesting that your definition included reality TV.  Is that
truly reality or is it a manipulated reality?  A great example of
perception's role in reality.

I stand by my own perception that Newbee's very strong opinion of
local AP centered politics and happenings does not fit his or her
self-description. I also personally take the posts of those who put
their real name after their perceptions much more seriously than those
who do not.

Thank you so much Jennifer and Jadee for the perception thoughts.
Jennifer, your balance and equanimity is an inspiration for me and
something I need to learn from.

Werner, I am truly sorry for going off on you some weeks ago. I know
how valuable your knowledge of Asbury is. Your love is clear. But
science does tell us that perception has a lot to do with us. Is it
Heisenberg's principle that even suggests that we CHANGE reality with
our perceptions?

I just listened to a talk by Russel Targ, physicist, CIA trainer and
author of a new book called I think the end of suffering. Thats
where my passion lies. I used to be so negative about everything (ask
my mother). We have to change if we want our world to change. Be
negative if you want, but it really only hurts yourself.

Jack, you take things way too personally. Life is so much more
enjoyable when you don't. Whatever someone says has nothing to do with
us. Only egos get offended. No one can touch who you are at essence.
Thats freedom. And insanity is doing the same thing over and over and
expecting different results. And complaining is useless. I don't have
the time to be as involved as I would like, and I don't have the
tolerance for the BS, phoniness, scheming etc. And I don't live in the
past, or reminisce about it.

I am an optimist and most people would look at my life and wonder how
that is possible. I'm 41 about to enter vocational school. There are
so many good things happening in the world its amazing. Find a talk on
FORA tv by Paul Hawken. So beautiful. And it may sound kooky on this
board, but the only reason we are here is to expand in consciousness
and love. Yes for our enemies, those who would take us down, etc.

Happy Happy inauguration Day!

My name isn't Gabie Dubie. Maybe I'm wrong, but businesses in AP seem
pretty busy, certainly on weekends. Do you drive around here much?
Maybe some are hurting, but there are lots of people around

Complaining isn't useless when it leads to meaningful discussion, and it breaks

when you interrupt that discussion by projecting thoughts in which you suggest

I thought about what you wrote before, about me taking things too personally.
I'll admit that I'm too sensitive, so you are probably right.
So, in the spirit of change that is so prevailing today, I'll take your 
observation as 
constructive criticism.
I'd also like to suggest that you read the book The Tao of Pooh
Best wishes on this amazing day.

[AsburyPark] Re: Reality vs Rose Colored Glasses

2009-01-20 Thread Gabrielle Obre
Jack, I did NOT call you insane. I repeated a line I have heard over
and over that has been helpful to me. When I get insulted, I AM taking
something personally.

Complaining IS useless. I even found a site (connected to the work of
Eckhart Tolle) that aims to end complaining, gossip and criticizing
http://www.acomplaintfreeworld.org/howitworks.html

AND, I do not say this because I am free of complaining, gossip or
criticizing. 

There are tons of things that the city does that I find absolutely
ludicrous. The bike unfriendliness of cookman (the new section) is one
of the grossest examples of absolute idiocy. So I make fun of them for
it and ride my bike smack down the middle. But I also have to
acknowledge that I wasn't there at the meetings, so I have to take
some responsibility.

All of my experiences sitting in the council chambers were a hoot to
me. Ridiculous really. They are not smart people generally speaking. A
friend who lives out of state for part of the year and is very active
in his community once asked me about one of the council members. Does
that guy have ANY education he asked me, He's a buffoon. That's why
I can't go to those meetings. I once listened to one of the council
members respond to a question and it was perfectly clear that the guy
had no idea what the question was about. It was embarrassing. I'd give
anything for someone educated in communication and government to sit
and write comments about it.

Another thing as I yab on. I was at an event where women in smaller
government were being celebrated. A fairly well known woman asked me
where I lived and when I told her, her response was Oh boy, you've
got problems down there.

They should NOT be sitting above members of the community, they should
be sitting beneath them. 

Go sometime for entertainment. I recommend a few cocktails beforehand.
I'll go with you, but I need a buzz. And it will be killed fast.

That said, we can enjoy what is here. And it genuinely just makes me
sad when it seems to bum you out so much. One of my favorite spiritual
teachers says something like, everything is a mess and everything is
exactly the way its supposed to be. He's the I'm an ass your an ass
guy. Anthony DeMello. 

I will shut up with a quote from Ani Difranco The world owes me
nothing, we owe each other the world.
