Meditation

Becoming your own therapist by Lama Yeshe

"Through meditation you can easily see the truth of all this. Meditation reveals everything that's in your mind; all your garbage, all your positivity; everything can be seen through meditation. But dont think that meditation means just sitting that on the floor in the lotus position doing nothing. Being conscious, aware of everything that you do-walking, eating, drinking, talking-is meditation. The sooner you realize this, the quicker will you realize that you yourself are responsible for the happy feelings you want and the unhappy feelings you dont, and that nobody else controls you."

Nouvelles...

Cela fait un moment que je n'ai pas ecris. Un moment aussi que je n'ai pas etais sur ce blog. Je m'amuse un peu avec la nouvelle interface, je fais mes petits tests habituels, et je me lance. Une photo pour le top de la page, des rizieres a l'ouest du nepal. Il faudrait vraiment que j'organise mes ecrits, peintures et autres creations dans un coin, au lieu d'avoir des trucs ici et la. Enfin, cela viendra avec le temps, peut etre un jour a la retraite je prendrais le temps pour ranger ma vie. Je vois que la nouvelle interface a une correction d'orthographe, tres bien, cela me servira.

Novembre, l'hiver est la. J'ai un peu de temps a moi, je me retrouve seule, et cela me fait du bien. Les journees de Kathmandou sont pleines de soleil, rechauffant tout de sa chaleur, les nuits froides et bonnes sous une couverture epaisse. Ayant un peu de temps a moi, je me retrouve, me recentre comme on dit. Me demande quelle est la prochaine etape de ma vie, dans quelle direction aller, mais cela, je me le demande toujours.

Alors, je prends le temps de voir mes amis, mais surtout, je prends le temps de lire, quelques tentatives d'ecritures commencent meme a voir le jour, de regarder des films et d'etre tranquille. J'organise des photos, j'organise mes pensees, je flanne et je feniasse, bref, je me reconstruit un peu et ca fait du bien.

Pour premiers tests, publions ces quelques mots et continuons de jouer;)

New place

They say good things never come alone. As if a new shop, Funky Freaks, wasn't enough, we also got a new apartment.

Welcome to the new place.

2 little rooms, 1 kitchen and bathroom.
One bedroom and one living room where we can all eat. After 5 years of moving from room to room, it is much enjoyable to sit for a little while, wake up and make coffee or tea.

Here is Zen and Narkul making dinner.

The kitchen has a real sink, with running water, and gaz cooking. The bathroom even has gaz hot water.

The hallway to home...wawawouhhhh! Let's get cooking and relaxing:)

Talking tree

 “The secret of life is in art.” Oscar Wilde 

A talking tree sits in all of us. It's this part of us, growing, learning, every day a new day. The tree knows all, rooted, standing the passing seasons. The tree digs deep inside the Earth and elevates it's branches to the sky.
The tree is us. Each leaf a thought, each branch an area of learning. As the seasons pass, we drop our leaves, letting the old ideas pass, in order to let room for new thoughts, which will also go, as next season comes.

Don't hold too tight to your thoughts, let them float to the  winds. New thoughts will come, blossom, and go. Their impermanence being part of their beauty.

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Thomas Merton 

So go look for yourselves, create, find new selves, let them go, start again. So goes the song of the talking tree. Your Self is the ultimate creator, the one giving form to your many selves. Just remember not to get lost in your creations, for they are just that, leaves on a tree...

Magritte

 

Hommage to Magritte and the surrealists. 

"My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable."

Dead Bachelors in Remote China Still Find Wives

CHENJIAYUAN, China — For many Chinese, an ancestor is someone to honor, but also someone whose needs must be maintained. Families burn offerings of fake money or paper models of luxury cars in case an ancestor might need pocket change or a stylish ride in the netherworld.

But here in the parched canyons along the Yellow River known as the Loess Plateau, some parents with dead bachelor sons will go a step further. To ensure a son’s contentment in the afterlife, some grieving parents will search for a dead woman to be his bride and, once a corpse is obtained, bury the pair together as a married couple.

The rural folk custom, startling to Western sensibilities, is known as minghun, or afterlife marriage. Scholars who have studied it say it is rooted in the Chinese form of ancestor worship, which holds that people continue to exist after death and that the living are obligated to tend to their wants — or risk the consequences. Traditional Chinese beliefs also hold that an unmarried life is incomplete, which is why some parents worry that an unmarried dead son may be an unhappy one.

In some villages, a son is eligible for such a spouse if he is 12 or older when he dies. None of the people interviewed considered the custom shameful or overly macabre. Instead, it was described as a parental duty to a lost child that reflected Confucian values about loyalty to family.

“Parents have a sense of responsibility for their son,” said one woman, Li Yinlan. She said she had attended ceremonies where the coffins were placed side by side and musicians played a dirge. “They have this custom everywhere,” she said of her region.

The Communist Party has tried, with mixed success, to stamp out beliefs it considers to be superstition. But the continued practice of the ancient custom in the Loess Plateau is a testament to the region’s extreme isolation. In other parts of rural China, it is difficult to know how often, if at all, the custom is followed.

Bodhidharma: the blue eyed barberian

For today, here is a bit of the story of the Blue Eyed Barbarian, the son of a Indian King, who chose monkhood over governing a state.

Travelling across mountains, through winds and skies, he came from India to China to share a sutra which was until then unknown by the then established buddhists schools, Bodhidharma belongs to the Buddhist legend. Some writings give him up to 150 years, and even see him walking around India’s counry side after his death, a shoe in his hand.

For 7 years he sat in front of a wall, in a cave, practicing the wall meditation, that is sitting in zazen with no words or no outside contacts. On the 7th year, he fell alseep, and angry at himself he pulled out his eyelid and threw it on the floor, creating the tea leaf to keep monks awake.
The 28th patriarch of buddhism, a direct line from the Buddha himself, the 1st Zen/Chan patriarch, a form of Mahayana buddhism, some call him the fundator of Kun Fu, the martial art practiced in Shaolin temples.

Here is a fine exemple of buddhist humor, in the legendary meeting between Bodhidharma and the ruler of the time, Emperor Wu, an emperor who happened to be a devoted buddhist of the Liang Dynasty (around 520 on the gregorian calendar).

The emperor asks Bodhidharma:
"What is the highest meaning of noble truth?"
"There is no noble truth." answers Bodhidharma.
The emperor then asked Bodhidharma:
"How much karmic merit have I earned by ordaining Buddhist monks, building monasteries, having sutras copied, and commissioning Buddha images?"
"None."
The emperor out of patience with the Blue Eyed Barbarian then asked Bodhidharma:
"Who is standing before me?"
"I don't know."

Salut l'abbé.

Article en francais ici.

A good bye and good trip to Henri Grouès, also called the Abbé Pierre.
Voted for many years as the French favorite man; a wwII resistant, a rebel Capucin priest who dared saying yes to condoms, a direct disorder to the Pope's orders; creator of Emmaus, an international organization helping the needy; an inspiration leaves this world for his next trip.
Famous for his cry out to help in the cold winter of 1954, when a woman died freezing in the snow after getting evicted from her room. From this event he fought to pass a law that made it illegal to evict someone during too cold weathers.
L'abbé Pierre died at 94, living this world a better place for all those he helped, and for those that will be helped by his services which will outlast him by many thanks and prayers.

Bon voyage l'abbé...

Quotes from the abbé:

"Hell is the others" wrote Sartres. I am intimately convinced that it is the opposite. Hell is oneself cut from the others. "

"The responsability of each of us implies 2 things: to want to know and to dare saying it"

"We can not, under the pretext that it is impossible to do everything in one day, do nothing at all"

"L'Abbé Pierre (born Henri Antoine Grouès in Lyon) (August 5, 1912 - January 22, 2007), France. Abbé (which means father and is also found in abbot) is a courtesy title given to a Catholic priests...."

Recycling myth

I am sure most of you hippies are active recyclers, maybe even go shop at co-ops, and are able to buy in bulk, saving plastic baggs and packaging.

There is one good news and one bad news about this.
the bad news first:
Recycling paper, seperating cans, and plastic might be an utter waste of your time, and might actually pollute more than it helps the environement. On top of it, this pollution cost you and your community, the tax payers, some extra money. Now it does create jobs, but is sorting through shit really the types of jobs we want to create?
Why would recycling be so bad?
Well, for exemple paper. To recycle it, recycling plants use chlorine to get the ink out, a chemical extremely harmfull to the environement.
Also, think about how much gaz was used to get those trucks from each of your houses and apartement complexes to the recycling plants.
You seperate things in your kcthen, yet, it all goes back into one big rotting pile when it gets to the factories!

Now, the good news:
Buying from bulk at your local co-op IS the best you can do for the environement. It saves on packaging, and it saves people from having crappy jobs designing cereal boxes after toothbrush adds and whatnot.

For more details and information about aspects of recycling which you might be surprised by, check out the excellent Penn & Teller show: Bullshit!.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7734998370503499886&q=penn+and+teller

In the end, the best for the environment is a mindfull consumer, and a non wastefull one. so, think about it twice next time you buy candies that are each individually wrapped, next step is wrapping the air and selling it by the ballon, with a nice clean logo on it that says "save the earth, buy fresh air"

What about you? do you recycle, and would you be ready to stop if you realize it is just a nice and conforting fashionnable trend? What facts do you know about recycling business that might help make up our minds?
What trick do you know that saves resources? such as the sticker on your door that says "no advertisers or i'll shut you"?

Respect and the flower

Text en francais ici.
Part 5 : Reality
4 : what is respect.

Many people confuse admiration with respect….
Respect means to observe yourself when you have contact with someone or something. First you will notice that you are hypocritical or prejudiced. You will also notice that it is impossible to understand others. There is always something that you do not understand. As a result your attitude changes. This is respect.
For exemple, you see a flower. If you think it is a flower, you have no respect for it. If you obeserve yourself, you will see your thoughts have no value and you will start to see the flower more attentively. You will also discover many things that you do not understand. Then respect for the flower is born.

Park Service Can't Give Official Age Of Grand Canyon For Fear Of Offending Creationists...

"Due to pressure from Bush Administration officials, the National Park Service is not permitted to give an official age for the Grand Canyon. Additionally, a book claiming the Grand Canyon was created by Noah's flood is for sale at the National Park's bookstore.

The sale of Grand Canyon: A Different View was scheduled for review over three years ago, but no such review has been schedule or even requested. The creationist book was the only item approved for sale in 2003 (22 other items were rejected)"

See also: www.peer.org/news/news_id.php
"In order to avoid offending religious fundamentalists, our National Park Service is under orders to suspend its belief in geology,” stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch. “It is disconcerting that the official position of a national park as to the geologic age of the Grand Canyon is ‘no comment."

Sur la route pour Samadhi.

Un extrait du livre "Voyage Intérieur d'un Etranger". Chemin vers une Nouvelle Perception. 2002.
Ecrit par Kenjiro Yoshigasaki, Maitre de ki-aikido et successeur de Morihei Ueshiba.
Publication: Werner Kristkeitz Verlag.
Part 3 : Perception
"La plupart des gens utilisent 2 mots pour décrire l’intérieur du corps. Pensée et sentiment. Cela veut vraiment dire mots et pas de mots. Les pensées sont des mots dans notre corps, qui peuvent être dits ou exprimés, et le sentiment est quelque chose qui n’est pas un mot mais que l’on peut reconnaitre et qui pourrait éventuellement être décrit utilisant des mots. La psychologie a donnée au public l’idée qu’en exprimant les sentiments nous pouvons maintenir une bonne sentée psychologique. Si vous êtes interressé par aider les autres, cette idée peut être convenable. Par contre, vous serez dépendants sur l’aide des autres pour exprimer vos sentiments aux autres.
De l’autre coté, si vous êtes intérressé de vivre votre propre vie, c’est mieux de ne pas exprimer vos sentiments.
Vous devez retourner à la compréhension de base que lorsque la perception de votre corps est exprimée avec des mots, c’est ce que l’on appelle un sentiment. En l’exprimant, la réalité est que vous le distordez parce que vous l’associez à de la mémoire.
C’est pourquoi le concept des sentiments est utilitaire à comprendre et qu’éventuellement peut aider les autres mais ce n’est d’aucune utilité et nocif si appliqué à vous même. De plus, lorsque vous percevez à l’intérieur de votre corps, vous trouverez qu’il est trés riche comme de la musique ou une peinture. Il est beaucoup plus riche que les sentiments, qui ne sont que des mots. C’est vrai que la plupart des gens ne comprennent pas la richesse de la musique ou de la peinture et restent avec les mots pour les décrire. Vous devez apprendre a écouter votre corps tout comme écouter de la musique ou regarder de l’art sans interpreter avec des mots."

On the Road to Samadhi.

Extract of the book "Inner Voyage of a Stranger". Pathways to a New Perception. 2002.
Written by Kenjiro Yoshigasaki, a Master in ki-aikido, direct line from the creator of aikido Morihei Ueshiba.
Publication: Werner Kristkeitz Verlag.

Part 3 : Perception

"Most people use two words to describe the inside of the body. Thought and feeling. This actually means words and non-words. Thoughts are words in our body, which may be pronounced or written, and feeling is something that is not a word but is recognisable and could eventually be expressed using words. Psychology has given the public the idea that by expressing your feelings you can maintain good psychological health. If you are interested in helping others, that idea may be a suitable one. On the other hand, you will be dependant on other people’s help by expressing your feelings to others.

However, if you are interested in living your own life, it is better not to express your feelings.
You must get back to the basic understanding that when body perception is expressed in words, it is called a feeling. By expressing it, you actually distort it because you associate it with some memory.

That is why the concept of feeling is useful to understand and eventually to help others but it is useless and harmful if applied to yourself. Furthermore, when you percieve inside your body, you will find it to be very rich like music or painting. It is much richer than feelings, which are only words. At the same time it is true that most people do not understand the richness of music or painting and just stick to words about them. You must learn to listen to your body just like listening to music or looking at art without interpreting with words."

Stoned in Suburbia

Here is a superbe british documentary, alook into british pot smoking. The video is a nice change from the myth of the lone and lazy teenager, and depicts every day people, that happen to enjoy smoking the herb along with the other millions of smokers.
Favorite line is when grand ma baking chicken pot pies for her community of elders, says : "i only use pure bud"! Grand ma sure knows her stuff.

Check the video "Stoned in Suburbia"here:
"Stoned In Suburbia is a social history film, examining the change in people's opinions to cannabis over the past 50 years. Discussing the all impact of the 60's sexual revolution, the Hippie movement, the emergence of the Punks right up until the modern day."

Art?

I have been doodling since i can remember.

Starting by copying any interesting images I could find in magazines, I went on to an early fascination for classical artists such as Van Gogh, Modiglianni and many Moores. Along the classical forms, I was also greatly influenced by the comic book world, as I grew up with the European school of comics mixed with a dose of the Xmen I could read from my sister.
I studied printing and ceramics at San Fransisco Community College and got a degree in multimedia at Portland Community college. During my studies in multimedia, I found a way to let my nerdy side express itself, as I found pleasure looking through basic code.

I now enjoy doing digital work as much as i enjoy splattering paint all over the place. I have painted murals, designed 3D rooms and twicked applets.
My last projects have been backdrops, painting on textile for party decos, which was extremely fun, and of which i hope to do more.

I enjoy taking and looking at pictures.
For more on my art work, go and see my galleries in gamatron’s archives.

Roots dish

Plats de racines d'hiver, excellent plat de saison. Recette en francais à venir.

Winter dish of local roots, excellent season's dish.
For first recipe:
Winter roots dish: many roots are underused by people, especially in Europe, where in some countries, the roots are associated with the bad memories of the war and being hungry and poor. Yet the roots are a great provider of many needed nutrients and vitamines, so, use this winter, to re-discover the wonderful and savory world of roots.
Take any roots you find in your local market. Parsnip, beets, various types of patatoes, carrots, celery root, and more.
Cut them in equal shapes (so they all cook alike).
Add ginger, garlic, curry if you'd like, your fav spices.
Fry the mix.
Extra: add green beans, or whatever greens you might want to add, also it adds color.

Serve hot, or cold as a salad. Sprinkle with some seeds of your choice, and enjoy this simple and nourrishing winter dish!

Strange Princess and Naive art

Gérard Willemmenot et son Etrange Princess:

"Son enfance et ses années d'architecture feront de lui un inadapté chronique qui n'aime guère son époque. Alors faute de refaire le monde, il va le peindre, à sa manière assez décalée voire intemporelle. Il faut rappeler que depuis presque un siècle, la peinture (celle dont on parle) est entièrement tombée sous la coupe du discours intello-médiatique et qu'il n'est pas rare de voir un critique d'art écrire huit pages à propos d'une toile vierge intitulée « sans titre n°12 » ou juste une chiure de mouche (« opus 3 »). Cette masturbation intellectuelle a depuis longtemps gommé toutes les valeurs dites anciennes et décadentes : composition, métier, créativité, etc. pour ne consacrer que ce qui est moderne, nouveau. La modernité est forcément bien... une « merde » d'artiste est belle! elle est d'autant plus belle Si c'est la dernière, celle du Jour! hier, il n'en a pas fait, il était constipé."
