Sooo, I wikipediaed "church of scientology" to prepare for my presentation Tuesday ... (we'll see if I go Tuesday; there are a million people scheduled to present). Annnyway, I printed the article and read a few pages, learning about Scientology's orgin and locations ... But there wasn't much of anything about its beliefs. I guess I'll YouTube the South Park episode to find out about them. I also guess I'll present facts about the Church of Scientology and ask discussion questions during my presentation. But what to ask? The article had a section debating Scientology as a religion or a business, so I could ask whether it's a religion or a business, but I could ask whether any religion is is just that or a business, really.

Remixin' Genesis ... finally.

 

God creates heaven and earth. Earth is pretty lame, so He adds cool stuff.

 

*Wham!*

    Day and night ...

*Bam!*

    Land and seas, plants and trees ...

*Wham!*

    Sun, moon, and stars ...

*Bam!*

    Beasts ...

*Wham!*

    Man

 

God is mad-tired after six days of adding cool stuff, so He blesses the next day and chills. He creates the "week" intentionally or unintentionally.

Ughhh! It's been a long day. I've been on campus, lugging around 10 times my body weight in camera equipment, for 11 hours. In the past 11 hours I've done a lot of daydreaming about my MTV Cribs dream home. It is:

 

    - a log cabin

    - near Jonestown, Pennsylvania

    - on land that used to support an old, crappy house (till I knocked it down)

    - with solar panels on the roof

    - and heated tile and a fireplace in the master bathroom

 

    - and no more than two flat-screen TVs period! These celebrities who have flat-screen TVs in front of their beds, their bathtubs, their toilets, and probably in the bottom of their laundry hampers need some God damn sensory deprivation. Maybe some God damn floating ...

 

I've done a lot of daydreaming about my MTV Cribs dream cars too, but I can't ever decide what to put in the two-car garage. A Land Rover Range Rover is an obvious choice. A Toyota Prius is a obvious choice to make an environmental statement. A Porsche 911 is a obvious choice. Maybe I'll just park my '95 Geo Prism there and realize my on-again-off-again plan to drive it till it dies.

 

Totally switching gears (haha, cars, gears, haha), I found the quote "you're the best at being you," which Mobius said on the ninth, to be very, very true. Honestly, who would be better?

The Siva Sutras on transformation ... The Siva Sutras on transformation are vague. "Individual knowledge, in itself, cannot lead to higher knowedge, although it might be informed by it." What? If someone doesn't know ice is cold, touches ice, and realizes it's cold, wouldn't he or she highten his or her individual knowledge? I agree that individual knowledge might be informed by higher knowledge. Like, personal knowledge might be hightened by community knowledge. "This process requires a calm mind ..." Indeed, learning requires a calm mind. Who can learn with a mind tormented by distractions?

biotelemetricites posted on my page! Thanks Echan, GoNZo, and biotelemetricite who didn't sign!

 

I was on wikipedia browsing for something to be a guru on. I searched for "lost in space" (I watched the movie last night). From "Lost in Space (film)" I went to "Mimi Rogers" (she plays Professor Maureen Robinson (the mom) in the movie). From "Mimi Rogers" I went to "Tom Cruise" (Cruise and Rogers were married from 1987-1990).

 

Anyway, in addition to discussing Cruise's "couch incident," Cruise's page discussed his membership in the Church of Scientology.  All of a sudden it hit me. I found something without really trying I sort of want to be a guru on - the Church of Scientology. Mobius was right, allowing yourself to be distracted does yeild productivity. Now to narrow my topic ...

Ughhh! I hate, hate, hate posting on our wiki. I like going to our class, but I hate posting on our wiki. See, I'm lazy and don't want to read or write postings. Also, I don't think anyone's reading my postings. Why the hell (religious reference!) would I read and write postings if I'm lazy and don't want to, and why the hell (religious reference!) would I write postings if I don't think anyone's reading them, other than to pass our class?

And (started a sentence with "and!") why the hell (religious reference!) doesn't biotelemetrica have a built-in spell-check?

Anyway, I'm taking Mobius' advice and multitasking while I post. I'm studying for a public relations exam. A person who gets publicity for a cause, an individual, organization, a product, or service is a press agent.

 

I think it is good you are getting your frustrations out. But guess what? I am reading. If you keep your entries short (1, 2 paragraphs at the most) I will continue to read and respond. - GoNZo

 

Hey, we check postings from the homepage and a link to the syllabus, Composing The Sacred - A New Course!, and then again to The Rule of 3:  A Rule of Writing Rhythm 

you can add in a hyperlink in your page or that page by first clicking the edit button, then clicking the Earth Figure Eight image Link. For me, today, my writing has no face except the media loop that places me there, getting publicity for your product in your mailbox if its like mine.. However, if you change the wiki page, not out of fault but as an intention that we as a class can see and access your page at any time and you can see yours, maybe you will understand why my writing is longer but in no way better then yours. In fact, you started with getting rid of faults in your circumstances by basing your moral standpoint on what you want to be doing. Congratulations. However, do you reaallly hate it? And is it so bad to be illogial or misspell things? Am I bothering you? Shit, my writing would really bother you because I am illogical, or at least - that is the fault I seek to eradicate in myself for my behavior of being in school on the computer writing this, and even enjoying it (Not that I do completely - it's weird having my work be public and I have a hard time communicating in an interconnected web of a noosphere with no fear of a snicker bar or a gun (religious reference!) or even justifying, except for the connections' hilarity itself......... Riddleculous!? - Hell, (religious reference!) I like your writing. What do you like? What else do you hate? I find no fault in your writing, so perhaps I am a well-suited person to suggest what to write about? I wrote about shit over the rainbows - I may have even gotten out of hand, but that's why I said it was shit - it just felt like the right thing to say because of my potential audience and what they want. I relate to music, and so I write about it alot. I haven't yet... Honestly, I want to talk about what's important to us so it offsets the shit we do anyway that isn't important to us, like studying for a public relations exam? But fuck it, I'm 2 hours late for a jam..

"If you find fault in your brother or sister, the fault you see in them is within yourself."

 

I'm not sure I believe this statement. If person "A" rocks at math, then he or she is well-suited to fault person "B" who sucks at math.

 

"Get rid of those faults in yourself, because what bothers you in them bothers you in yourself."

 

I'm not sure I believe this statement either. It's supported by the faulty logic of the first one.

 

I'm not sure that it actually means that if you think someone is bad at math, then you are yourself bad at math. I think these statements are more saying that if you are criticizing other people, you need to look at yourself because you probably have some kind of attitude problem. I mean, if you are good at math, what do you care if other people are not good, unless you're really egotistical and want to point out how bad others are to make yourself look good. I think this passage is really saying to stop looking at the faults of others because it is a waste of your time, and to look within yourself.-Echan

 

Hey, I'm reading your postings, too. And also, you don't have to read every single posting, just "browse". If you find something is not interesting to you, it's as easy as clicking onto something else. I suppose it can be sort of daunting, being expected to read everyone else's blogs. That is sometimes why I don't do it either. But maybe if you browse enough, choosing to actually "read" what you want to, you may find someone on our wiki who feels like you do. -Echan

 

Oh, and also the more you post, the more your name will pop up in the recent activity screen, the more likely you are to have your postings read. So post a lot.-Echan
