It's amazing to me how many of these supposed traits of an awakening soul can 
be seen as traits of something else. It's even more amazing to me that the 
idiot who wrote this -- and many of the people who'll read it -- can't see 
that. 

Psychiatrists would see numbers 1, 3, 5, and 7 as indicators of a person on the 
brink of a psychotic break, unable to cope with everyday events and attempting 
to turn that into a supposedly positive thing.

Similarly, numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 
and 21 are all signs of delusional narcissism, otherwise known as runaway ego 
or out-of-control self-importance. 

In other words, if your first reaction to reading through this was to think, 
Wow! I'm really close to being awakened, you're much closer to awakening 
into a full-blown personality disorder than you thought.

I guess it depends who's running the show. In the old days of the academy I 
probably would have been burned at the stake for bringing any sort of 
non-Marshy movie into the sacred grounds. But the couple who were running 
things when I was there were pretty cool, they knew that not everyone is suited 
to a life of devotion and studying the vedas, so they let us be ourselves.

Not that some other visitors didn't object, some of the sponsors were outraged 
that money they had donated for a TV for watching knowledge tapes was being 
used for entertainment, the horror. It's like they gave money to live the 
spiritual life by proxy, we were intended by them to be purusha when we weren't 
anything of the sort. 

You should have explained that you *were* using the TV to watch
knowledge tapes, and then played them the following segment:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities
of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the
name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of
the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of
lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and
furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And
you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you.

It may not be from the Gita, but it *is* from the Bible. Ezekiel 25:17, to be 
exact.

Ah, what a classic, they don't write 'em like that any more. 

I consider Pulp Fiction to be the Casablanca of our age, it's the movie that 
saved cinema.


One of my favorite places to sit and write when I'm in Amsterdam is the 
front-window table of a coffeeshop where Quentin Tarantino sat and wrote most 
of Pulp Fiction. None of his success has rubbed off on me, but I think some 
of his sense of humor has.

It's amazing to me how many of these supposed traits of an awakening 
soul can be seen as traits of something else. It's even more amazing 
to me that the idiot who wrote this -- and many of the people who'll

This sounds just like the words of an awakened soul. LoL!

10.  We see the possibilities before others do.



Psychiatrists would see numbers 1, 3, 5, and 7 as indicators of a 
person on the brink of a psychotic break, unable to cope with everyday 
events and attempting to turn that into a supposedly positive thing.


Similarly, numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 
19, 20, and 21 are all signs of delusional narcissism, otherwise known 
as runaway ego or out-of-control self-importance.


In other words, if your first reaction to reading through this was to 
think, Wow! I'm really close to being awakened, you're much closer 
to awakening into a full-blown personality disorder than you thought.

I always loved Tarantino's story of the real-life source of some of the 
dialogue. He got busted one night for some sort of public intoxication, and had 
to spend the night in the drunk tank of a jail with a bunch of primarily black 
guys. And he was so fascinated by how they talked that he started writing it 
all down. All he had on him was one letter-sized envelope and a tiny stub of a 
pencil, and he described writing the things he was hearing down on it in the 
tiniest letters possible, to try to fit as much of it as possible into his 
writer's notes. 

I wouldn't go so far as to class it as one of the best movies ever, but it 
*was* extremely clever, and ground-breaking in many ways, not least of which 
was the non-linear narrative. Riding on the relative success of the previous 
(and more violent) Reservoir Dogs, he managed to fight the studio heads and 
insist on casting John Travolta, who they thought were washed up, but who he 
thought was perfect for the part. Jump-started his whole career again. 

And from a spiritual perspective, what's not to like about casting the daughter

 This gets overdone so much nowadays and often for no reason. In PF it cleverly 
gives the two gangsters the appearance of a happy ending which was clever, my

others!

 And Bruce Willis too!
 

 I didn't like Reservoir Dogs at all though, apart from Mr Pink getting away 
with the loot, it was all a bit grim and humourless.
 

 Jackie Brown might be my favourite of his, I do like a nice love story!
 

 Kill Bill was amazingly artistic and had a really good ending that I wouldn't

 Inglorious Basterds was half-good. Nail bitingly tense and then Brad Pitt and

That's what I like about this place, you can learn interesting stuff!

Not to mention that Robert Thurman traveled to Asia in search of a

salyavin, I've not seen Pulp Fiction except for little bits and 
pieces. I'd say that in these very violent movies, the morality tale 
message can get lost pretty easily. Then the meta message takes over. 
Which can be quite different from the morality tale message!


Some sociologists think that playing violent video games and watching 
violent movies on TV and in theaters leads to incidents of violence by 
troubled individuals. What is so weird about this is the cognitive 
dissonance displayed by Barry and Sal - they don't even see the 
connections, or want to admit them. This came up before in our 
conversation about individuals who own guns. It may be that people who 
enjoy violent movies are somewhat stunted, mentally, and still living in 
a fantasy of their childhood. Go figure.

I consider Pulp Fiction to be the Casablanca of our age, it's the
movie that saved cinema.


One of my favorite places to sit and write when I'm in Amsterdam
is the front-window table of a coffeeshop where Quentin Tarantino
sat and wrote most of Pulp Fiction. None of his success has
rubbed off on me, but I think some of his sense of humor has.


OMG! I hope neither of you two guys is thinking about going postal on 
us. I wonder how much of Tarantino's gun-nut humor has rubbed off on 
you two? You guys must be two of the most fucked up in the mind 
characters I've ever met on the internet!


/Two pacifists that love Tarantino./ Talk about your cognitive 
dissonance! Go figure.


I wonder if you've ever actually understood/anything/ Willy?

Pulp Fiction is a morality tale. Two hitmen have a very near death 
experience at the hands of another gunman, one decides that being 
spared is a sign from god and vows to go straight, the other thinks 
that's a load of hogwash and gets killed the next day.


Try paying attention next time.

According to himself he is on the verge of a psychotic breakdown :-)

Actually Mulholland Dr. was supposed to be a TV series for ABC. The 
racier scenes were probably added a year later when the French company 
Studio Canal financed it's finish as a movie.  The movie has even played 
on Ion TV here in the states which is a second tier broadcast network 
back around 2005 or so along side Christian TV shows.  I found that 
amusing having seen the movie in a theater but the Ion version was tamed 
down a bit, quite a bit.

Well why didn't you satisfy everyone by watching David Lynch stuff? I

crowning achievement Twin Peaks?


I'm not sure if we ever got round to discussing Lynch, and my choice 
of movie was always overruled after the Pulp Fiction disaster anyway!


I did suggest that the Marshy channel show a season of his movies 
after DL came out of the closet. Being culturally clueless, they 
thought it was a great idea!

I guess it depends who's running the show. In the old days of the 
academy I probably would have been burned at the stake for bringing 
any sort of non-Marshy movie into the sacred grounds. But the couple 
who were running things when I was there were pretty cool, they knew 
that not everyone is suited to a life of devotion and studying the 
vedas, so they let us be ourselves.


Not that some other visitors didn't object, some of the sponsors were 
outraged that money they had donated for a TV for watching knowledge 
tapes was being used for entertainment, the horror. It's like they 
gave money to live the spiritual life by proxy, we were intended by 
them to be purusha when we weren't anything of the sort.

 Silly bawee, what about if you realized Salyavin was posting this in jest and 
you open it up just to see what it is all about, get to point #2 and close it 
up again because it is so humorous and pat and simplistic. What does that mean 
about the reader?







 
 It means that Barry read the whole thing and related to it, so he copied the 
page and is still reading and replying to it?
 And, furthermore, he concluded that this was a verrryyy dangerous article. I'm 
still trying to suss that one out. Maybe his employers the lurking reporters 
told him to say that.
