Re: [tips] Tips in quandaries

H.

Well I doubt you're the only one :)

Nevertheless, I do think there tends to be an emphasis on rationality and
quantitative research here at the expense of emotional/spiritual
and qualitative research. But, perhaps the majority of Tipsters are
"quantitative types" and the content of the posts is a reflection of this.

Hopefully though, it doesn't stop others posting about the
emotional/spiritual/qualitative aspects of human experience and the
psychology of such.

I would agree that the Eurocentric position has all too often elevated
rationality such that it appears to be the be-all and end-all of life. But
as most average people already know, in real life rationality usually takes
a back seat to emotion and spirituality (whatever they are). After all,
no-one claims to be in love after a rational assessment of the "facts".

[tips] Tips in quandaries

[michael sylvester]

The Eurocentric conditioning and training and perspectives expressed on Tips 
all lead to the same road.It is the road that is paved with conclusions that if 
a phenomenon can not be scientifically verifiable and  if data do not come from 
a credible source then the data should be discarded.I am, ironically ,the only 
tipster that implements the criitical thinking guideline of considering other 
interpretations.
Some tipsters are in a box and unable to demonstrate brain flexibility 
function.Reducing the idea of mindfulness to agey and other therapeutic touchy 
feely factors is a disservice to the variety of human existential experience.I 
have only one thing to say to the boxed in Eurocentric consensus and it is a 
quote from Michael Jackson -"Beat it!"

I gave zamar a trial run (without joining) and never got the video.

But perhaps it's because I'm in Canada.

Never mind. I finally remembered. It was on the tip of my tongue for over an 
hour!

It's zamar.com

So for those of you who said to yourselves, what the heck is she talking about? 
But, hey, sounds like a great idea, well, you can convert the youtube to an mp3 
clip.

You can also convert videos from a DVD but only by "chapters".

Sorry for the sort of waste of bandwidth. Thank goodness this isn't a monitored 
list ;)

Don't know if this is what we discussed, but I found this, as well as two
great-looking step-by-step videos:

And, I'm only giving you a google
result.  Here's how to embed it - shown in a video:

Here's how to embed it offline:

I'm going to watch those myself
because I don't know how to do it!

I am brain dead again today.

I have been using a website for downloading youtube videos to mp3s for a very 
long time but have not done so in about 2 months and for the life of me cannot 
remember the name of the website. Now I wanted to download a video to put into 
a powerpoint and can't remember the website name.

I believe we discussed this process for embedding youtubes into ppt slides on

RE: [tips] Mindfulness - anything to it?

[Louis Schmier]

Wow!  That was some response.  However, Mike, I'm not sure if you're being 
disingenuous;
maybe you aren't.  In any event, I'm not New Agey by any of the points of the 
definition
you pull from the sites that the "objective" atheism.about.com you sent.  Not 
exactly the
most "scientific" site(s) I've ever visited.  Got a question.  How come you can 
visit and
use these slanted sites while you castigate me for supposedly doing the same 
thing?  And,
let's clear some more air.  I don't where this idea of yours, that I agreed in 
the
comparison of scientists to Nazis by Ben Stein-which he didn't say, though a 
bunch
were--came from.  Do I unthinkingly and unquestioningly grovel at the altar of 
science as
the panacea of all human ills?  No.  Science, like religion, can, has, and is 
used,
misused, and abused.  And, using this computer, and my touch-screen cell phone, 
and my LCD
flat screen, and my Miata MX-5, and my mosquito repellant, and my tankless 
water heater,
and my solar lawn lights, and my AC, and the PSA test that led to the early 
discovery of
my cancer, and my neuro-angiogram, and my synthetic walking socks, and my 
cholesterol
meds, and my grandmunchkin's ADHD meds, and my etc etc etc, show me where I 
have shown an
Amish-like disdain for science or scientific discovery or scientific thinking 
beyond a
healthy skepticism of the oft made claims to totally detached, sinless, 
objectivity free
of slant, bias, and prejudice, or to possession of total truth, or using "in 
the name of
science" as a cover for anything goes, or that being a scientist automatically 
makes for a
highly moral and ethical human being divorced from impacts of  life's personal,
professional, and social slings of outrageous fortune.  Can a scientist be 
religious?  I
say, "Yes."  I think we had this discussion before?  Is "scientist" synonymous 
with moral
and ethical?  I say, "No."  How many speak the moral, ethical, personal, 
professional, and
social teleological precepts offered by science (i.e. the second paragraph of 
the
Declaration of Independence), but no more live them and live up to them than do 
the
adherents of organized religions, i.e. the scientists who used cephalic 
indexing to
legitimatize racism, super-nationalism and colonialism, or who performed 
medical and other
scientific experiments on human guinea pigs in Auschwitz and Buchenwald and 
Bergen-Belsen,
or who engaged in the syphilis experiments at Tuskegee.  But, enough of this.   
I won't be
drawn into that kind of tit-for-tat.  

 

You asked for my source of my definition and understanding of mindfulness, 
awareness, and
otherness.  Fair enough.  I guess it was some sin of omission of cosmic 
proportion that I
failed to use the word Buddhism or Judaism or even existentialism.  I hope 
you're not
inferring that I was plotting some devious theological and philosophical 
infiltration and
undermining of TIPS' scientific soul with the intention of dragging it down the 
ten levels
into the depths of religiosity.  I hope you're not inferring there are no 
members of TIPS
who are church-goers, synagogue attendees, or mosque...?  Sources?  Sure.  You 
got me.  I
make no bones about that.  I plead guilty.  Of course, there are those personal
experiences of mine in arriving at my understanding of mindfulness, awareness, 
and
otherness, both inner and outer, of struggling to live them to the fullest each 
day, of
having my personal--and consequentially professional and social--epiphany 
eighteen years
ago, facing and facing down the "Big C" nearly five years ago, and of beating 
the
overwhelming-staggering: 95%--odds against surviving unscathed a massive 
cerebral
hemorrhage almost two years ago.Now, do I see the "hand" of a divine 
Supreme Being in
all this?  No, never said I did in anything I wrote and shared about these 
experiences.
However, I do appreciatively see the appendages of a lot scientists.   But, the 
last
experience, in particular, revealed--dare I use that word--that death can be a 
means of
inventing and appreciating life; it can be a reminder that none of us have 
anymore
guaranteed than this moment; that it is the ultimate sin of sins not to live 
richly and
fully each of those moments; and that while we cannot control others or other
circumstances, we can control our responses to others and circumstances.  Some 
it is that
Thoreau and Emerson existentialistic thing; some of it is that Judaism and Zen 
thing; some
of it is just a "what really matters" kick in the pants thing.  You call that 
anecdotal; I
call it a piece of datum.  Same difference!   If after having submitted 
Kabat-Zinn's and
Kornfield's name, you can pulled up their stuff in a few minutes, I've done the 
job I
intended to do without cluttering the list with lists.  Sure, you were supposed 
to be
"impressed" with their Ph.D.s, or their affiliations with UMASS medical school; 
I think we
academics call it "credentials."  But, perhaps you're right.  I was too vague:  
Aside
