JOEL S. GOLDSMITH

2008-05-13T22:34:00.000-07:00

---Many books and teachings are attributed to Joel Goldsmith. He was the founder of The Infinite Way.

---Why he was so important to me, is, that there was a time I was questioning the legitimacy of any meaning at all, in Christianity. I read one of his books and, finally, it made sense to me. 2 + 2 (suddenly) = 4. Until I read Joel's book, I was NOT able to fit ''the way I learned Christianity, into what I empirically knew to be true.'' I think that their are many, many in that boat.

---A lot of us were taught in a way that relies heavily on blind faith. Reading Joel S. Goldsmith, straightened much out. It was a missing puzzle-piece, for me. Joel and J. Krishnamurti were the two that I spent time reading. The date, above, was my brother, Peter's, 65th birthday.

A Favorite Website -

2007-10-28T13:17:00.000-07:00

BBC Homepage -
http://bbc.co.uk/radio/

---This website has a lot of shows to listen to. For the COMEDY minded, I recommend BBC 7. I listen to The GOON SHOW, Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, etc.

---Their are a lot of things to listen to on the other BBC stations, also. They are very accomodating to SERIOUS subjects, too. Check them out, and see if you may find something of interest.

TV Comedy (Earlier Years)

Classic Television Showbiz -

http://classicshowbiz.blogspot.com/

---Bobby D. steered me to this site. I saw many of the clips when they showed, originally. I watched a lot of television, over the years. UHF was in the planning stages, then. Cable was a dream and the Internet was close to being - ridiculous, to most.

LAUGHTER and YOGA?? -

2007-10-22T20:39:00.000-07:00

LAUGHTER And YOGA -

---I am sure that you must have realized how healthy, laughter is. It is a very therapeutic thing to do. The article points out that the body doesn't know, if you are faking it or NOT. A good laugh makes you feel better. And, that is, because, through it, you are better.

---Read The ARTICLE, and SEE FOR YOURSELF.

CHLOE The CAT -

2007-10-22T15:46:00.000-07:00

---CHLOE...MY CAT

.
---Chloe was my cat, until I had the stroke, June 2, 2002. Though, technically my cat, she now lives with Marceline R. I supplied the catfood for her, and she supplied the hairballs. I was not ever quite sure if her affection, was all about the food.

---Whatever the case, Chloe and I had a good time (I'm assuming, here, as I never asked her how she felt about the arrangement.) The bites, scratches and emotional scars, have more or less, healed. At least, she hasn't brought them up in awhile.

---Chloe has three blogs of her own. Typical is NOT a word I would use, describing her. She is very intuitive, for a feline. (I do realize that every CAT owner would, probably, say the same thing.)

Some Situations Are More Fitting, Than Others -

2007-10-17T21:54:00.000-07:00

---It, usually, doesn't pay to force things. A lot of times you endup having to fix them. What's that they say about,''look before you leap?''

Pictured is, left-Me, middle-Joe L. (Bobby Darling) and right-Ernie D. (The Dinsdale)

---I have enjoyed my time spent with Bobby Darling and co-creating The Bobby Darling Show. I met Joe L. in High School. We took that relationship to the stage and rolled that rapport into The BDS. We had such a fun time together and it was so nice sharing that with many others. Bobby is going strong with BDS Productions, some thirty-plus years, later.

---I have written about it in the BOBBY - OGRAPHY blog.

Experience The FUN!!

Good Way To Start The Day!!

Kind of INSPIRATIONAL

The BEATLES - MIAMI (1964)

2007-10-09T19:34:00.000-07:00

---In 1964, a phenomenom hit the USA. It was the year that the BEATLES, played on, ''The ED SULLIVAN SHOW.'' Everything was, now, different. It was one of those things. The ''change,'' was happening.

---As uptight as I was, I, EVEN, began changing. At this point, no one was supposed to notice, but, ''Internally...Watch Out.''

---I would even go so far as to say, that that night, I turned in my ED SULLIVAN SHOW, personna, for my BEATLE, personna. I, may, still, have looked like ED, but thought like JOHN And PAUL. My hair was long, now, you just couldn't see it...YET!!

(In February, 1964 - I was 12 years old)

''THIS,'' I Happened To Find, 10 Years Ago -

2007-10-09T16:55:00.000-07:00

---Very Poignant. The ''PERSPECTIVE,'' Is Much Like My Own. I See How RELIGIONS Have BASTARDIZED Love. I Think ''RELIGIONS,'' Can Do Much Better.

---Try UNDERSTANDING What They Are Supposed To Be Teaching. When You Understand That GOD And LOVE, Are The Same Thing... Practice What You KNOW.

LOVE EXISTS - Whether Feeling is There, or Not...But, It Is Good To Feel Good, Too.

CATCH - 22

2007-10-08T21:27:00.000-07:00

---A double-bind, pointed out by Joseph Heller.

For Example - ''One cannot work without experience, but one can't get experience unless he works.''

---From Book - ''Too insane to fly bombing missions, but proves sanity when stating case.''

Two COMBINE - To Make THIRD

2007-10-08T21:15:00.000-07:00

HOW SEX WORKS -

---Two COMBINE To Make THIRD. Two different things get together and form something else. We find that this happens in sex, and every place, else, we can think of.
---This piece of knowledge has shown itself, in every fundamental thing that exists. The more that LOVE is involved, the more the Third resembles one and two. Sex is then, actually, making love.

Boundaries Are Important, Sometimes -

The PETER Principle -

2007-10-08T20:34:00.000-07:00

Dr. Laurence Peter -

---It is a bit of observational wisdom, from Dr. Laurence Peter. He had the realization that people were being ''promoted'' and were becoming obsolete or inaffective, in the process.
---An example seems the best way to explain:

An excellent teacher gets a promotion and is now a
mediocre principal.

An good worker gets promoted to less than good, foreman.

---We can go a bit further, and see that the wrong person is, sometimes, doing the wrong ''job.'' Or, something, sometimes is in a place it doesn't belong.
---It is like a jigsaw puzzle, that is put together wrong. The pieces are NOT in the best, possible position.

''People, Sometimes, Are DOING Things, That DON'T Suit Them.''

Good For Contemplation, While -

2007-10-08T06:12:00.000-07:00

---Keeping yourself occupied, doing something as mesmerizing and mindnumbing as the following:

SWAMI SATCHIDANANDA

2007-10-06T22:37:00.000-07:00

---I wrote about my encounter with Swami Satchidananda. I heard him speak on one occasion. While proceeding to leave, he stopped and told his disciples that, ''You should ALL be like this man. He is NOT, even, really, here.'' He was indicating that they should be like me. Their is more on the ATTITUDES, blog. It was a very nice moment, or encounter, as I called it.

JOHN POWELL S.J.

2007-10-06T22:15:00.000-07:00

---John Powell, SJ wrote some pretty neat books. They were small and easy to read, once, again. I gave Bobby Darling a set of books, one time.

---Their were a few others than the ones pictured. I liked all of them.

KEN KEYES -

2007-10-06T21:58:00.000-07:00

HANDBOOK To Higher Consciousness -

Ken Keyes

---I had a very goodtime reading this book. It is a ''Westerners'' version of the seven chakras. I thought it was easy to read and very practical. This book was originally lent to me by friend, John C. I owned it a few different times, after.

POSITIVE RESPONSES TO BOOK -

2007-10-06T17:00:00.000-07:00

---I really like the fact that someone may get something useful from my book. As the French may say, it's a, ''raison d'etre.''

---It was put together with that in mind, but I didn't realize how nice it is, until it happened. It is a short book, almost booklet, but if one is ready for such things, it may be quite enlightening. There are, only, 47 pages.

---The FIVE STAGES of ACCEPTANCE:
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Despair (Depression) and ACCEPTANCE.
.
---Though, our friend, ''The GIRAFFE,'' is having trouble, (he is still trying to control the outcome.) It is a PROCESS, that gradually, takes hold, over time. Don't force anything, and it works just fine.

METAPHYSICAL BOOKCLUB - BOB JOHNSON

2007-10-06T10:22:00.000-07:00

---Bob Johnson had been a CARTHUSIAN Monk for 11 years. He lived in the French Alps. He had taken a vow of silence, so had spoken very little.
---Through his meditations, he decided to leave the Monastic life, behind. He came to Massachusetts, married and had 3 children.
---He and his family, bought a small piece-of-property, that had a barn near the house. He converted the barn into The AWARENESS CENTER. Many area people ended up there, to share in what Bob Johnson had brought back with him. They were in search of a certain knowledge and experience, that he had.
.
---I visited there, myself, in the late 1970's. Bob was someone who understood much of my own plight. He could see that I didn't know what to do with my own experience.
---I was, eventually, placed in a metaphysical bookclub, and was asked to lead it. This was a special time for me.
---What would happen is, we would read a Spiritual-type, book, and discuss the meaning of certain questions that would arise during the reading. I very much enjoyed the bookclub, as it was easy to see why I was put in charge. Much of what was confusing to others was very clear and apparent to me. I have been known to say that the bookclub was the most fun I ever had, that didn't involve laughter. This is the bookclub that I alluded to, in the poem, - ''Without Laughing.'' What a wonderful time.

A BIT SELF-CONCERNED

Too SERIOUS

JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI -

2007-10-05T22:00:00.000-07:00

Jiddu Krishnamurti -

---I have enjoyed reading his books, back in the 1970's and beyond. He was very influencial to any clear thinking I may have done, or do. I am and was very glad to know that ''seeing'' things the way he does, is, OKAY and very confirming to me. From the very first time I read anything attributed to him, I agreed with it.

---His BOOKS - (Many)

1. Commentaries On Living Series - Vol 1
2. Education and the Significance of Life
3. Awakening of Intelligence
(I recommend anything that bears his label.)

---His Vids (YouTube, etc.)

---I, first, read the book, ''The Flight of the Eagle.'' It was a book Bobby Darling had forgotten at my house. Bobby had been talking about Krishnamurti, lately. As I said, I found myself agreeing, constantly, when I read the book. I had had an experience in my own life that left me with a vision that could be cooroborated by his own.

BDS STYLE -

2007-10-05T21:43:00.000-07:00

---A practical bit of wisdom, put forth by the Bobby Darling Show

--An example - ''We are becoming polished, at being unpolished.'' It is a way of thumbing ones nose at the conventional wisdom that ALL things must be perfect, according to how it has, always, been.

---An example - ''We must be sophisticated to be so unsopisticated, and get away with it.''

---An example - The Beatles having long hair, when no one else did.

This is what I FINALLY learned -

''The Way It Is, Is Sometimes,

Good Enough...Or, NOT.''

Vacuum Tubes vs. Transistors

2007-10-05T14:20:00.000-07:00

---I put forth the comment that I wonder why some musicians favor the vacuum tube to transistors. I was with my friend John T., at the time. I didn't really expect an answer...at least one that seemed right.
---I should have seen this coming, but I was very ''unused,'' to getting any kind of viable response from anyone along these lines. But, then comes John. He had been homeless for a number of years...and who'd a' thought?
---He proceeded to say that the tube makes the player sound more human, while the transistor has a mechanical sound to it. Tubes sound more real than transistors. The explanation may sound very simple, but that's the way I like them, in this arena.
