<div>***a message from Pema*** <br/> <br/>blessed loved ones..... <br/> <br/>here in bali we have been gathering everyday to share abundant meals and hold ritual. we have built alters in honor of heidi and have candles continually burning for her. <br/>everyone here is safe and we have allot of love and support here as we journey through this passageway of pain and transformation together as a collective. <br/>her death has really brought us together and that was always her highest wish. <br/>we are feeling all of you so much linked in the collective prayer field. thank you so much. i am truely grateful to have you all in my life and am so blessed to bring the new life inside of me into this tribe, i know you all will be such amazing god parents to our child. <br/>tears fall from my eyes as i visualize all of you beautiful faces, your reflection means everything to me. <br/> <br/>in this time of transition it it very important to stay in beautiful space of prayer to help heidi's spirit ascend.... <br/> <br/>in the tibetan tradition they believe there is a time period of 49 days after death before the spirit moves on. it consists of 7 cycles of 7 days, each day is a different bardo they must pass through. at the end of each 7 day cycle the spirit has a chance to ascend, if it does not it will repeat the the cycle every 7 days until the 7th cycle where if accession is not attained they will be re-born in whatever incarnation there karma allows. <br/>for the entire 49 days some one will read to them every day from the Tibetan book of the dead to help them move on........ <br/> <br/>an offering to all....... <br/>sit in meditation and visualize heidi in her purest form <br/>after a few minutes read the writing below preferably out loud <br/>do this everyday for 49 days especially on each 7th day <br/>if you don't fully resonate with the writing you can do it in your own way but remember to do it everyday <br/> <br/>honored to join in prayer with you all <br/>x pema <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Tibetan Book of the Dead----translation W.Y. Evans-Wentz <br/> <br/> <br/>. Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns, the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. <br/> <br/>Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home, <br/> <br/>The visions you experience exist within your consciousness, the forms they take are determined by your past attachments, your past desires, your past fears, your past karma. <br/> <br/>These visions have no reality outside your consciousness. No matter how frightening some of them may seem they cannot hurt you. Just let them pass through your consciousness. They will all pass in time. No need to become involved with them, no need to become attracted to the beautiful visions, no need to be repulsed by the frightening ones. No need to be seduced or excited by this sexual ones. No need to be attached to them at all. <br/> <br/>Just let them pass. If you become involved with these visions, you may wonder for long time confused. Just let them past to your consciousness like clouds passing through an empty sky. <br/> <br/>Fundamentally they have no more reality than this. <br/> <br/>Remember these teachings, remember the clear light, the pure bright shining white light of your own nature, it is death less. <br/> <br/>If you can look into the visions you can experience and recognize that they are composed of the same pure clear white light has everything else in the universe. <br/> <br/>No matter where or how far you wonder, the light is only a split second, a half-breath breath away. It is never too late to recognize the clear light. <br/> <br/>p.s. tomorrow ( saturday the 16th) is the 7th day since her passing and today is the first day of the three day tibetan new year and according to mahayana buddism the 8th and the 15th of feb (today) is the day they celebrate as the buddah's day of death......wow <br/> <br/> <br/>Posted by: pema</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goddessalchemyproject.tribe.net">The Goddess Alchemy Project</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>yo fam ~ <br/> <br/>making a last minute decission weather to go to LA tonight or not. I could still go both ways. If I do leave for the show (check out myspace.com/goddessalchemyproject main user picture for more info on the show; MF Doom, H'aiku de Tat, KRS1, Goddess Alchemy w/ Aiema and Apostle, etc...) I would be going in the next few hours and driving my car. I have one other passenger so far and 2 to 3 more seats. However I can't offer a place to stay, so you'd have to work that out on yer own, but I'm sure it could be arranged... lots of fam down there. <br/> <br/>gimme a call if yer into it ~ and don't get yer hopes too high cause I may decide not to go... just puttin it out there. <br/> <br/>*bless* <br/> <br/>robin</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goddessalchemyproject.tribe.net">The Goddess Alchemy Project</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Hi everyone. We were at the party the other night in Sebastopol with our son, and we left his diaper bag there, with some important things in it, including the "smart" key for our car. We have been calling the number of the party, but so far have reached no one, so we are putting out the call: Did anyone find a smallish, blue and white checked diaper bag that says "baby" on it? It was in a corner of the dining room at the party the other night. Please call or email if you know where it is or know the number of the people who live at 1313 Scheibel Lane. <br/> <br/>THANK YOU! <br/> <br/>Kelly and Dean <br/>(415)673-6783</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goddessalchemyproject.tribe.net">The Goddess Alchemy Project</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>yo fam! <br/> <br/>check this: <br/>http://www.false-profit.com/2007/06/28/dividend-16 <br/> <br/>Dividend: A Examination of the ‘More’ Impulse <br/> <br/>Thursday, June 28th <br/>10pm - 2am at Poleng Lounge <br/>Fulton and Masonic, SF <br/>$5 - $15 sliding scale <br/>Partial proceeds to benefit Cyphertown - Hiphop Theme Camp at BM07 <br/> <br/>Backroom: <br/>Kitty-D &amp; Ana Sia (Glitch Mob) <br/>Lux (aka Rodman) <br/> <br/> <br/>Cyphertown Front Room: <br/>Abai &amp; Albert Joseph (Bounce Reflex) <br/>Celena and Dakini (Goddess Alchemy) <br/>Goodfelllow (Cyphertown) <br/>DJ Soulz (Cyphertown) <br/>DJ Delphi (Goddess Alchemy) <br/> <br/>Fashion and Live Art: <br/>Domini <br/>Fati Beloved <br/>Lynn Mandziuk <br/>Mark Scheff <br/>Vibrata <br/> <br/> <br/>*** For Immediate Release*** <br/> <br/> <br/>False Profit, LLC has just released the results of a three-year study entitled, “Inner Ear Neural Linkage to the ‘More’ Impulse”, which challenges the widely held belief that people desire money. <br/> <br/> <br/>The study revealed that the ‘More’ impulse—commonly deployed by economic behaviorist models to account for people’s apparent desire for profit—is actually the result of rapid neuron firings in the inner ear. <br/> <br/> <br/>“Quite simply,” said Alison Bank, a Senior Researcher for False Profit, LLC, “it’s all about the Bass. Or more accurately, about more Bass.” <br/> <br/> <br/>They discovered that the impulse, however, has been frustrated by the silencing of the Outer Atmospheric Bass—a result of the Big Bang—by the excess of greenhouse gases produced by the Industrial Economy. Our desire for Bass, apparently, has lost its way. <br/> <br/> <br/>“Human physiology is remarkable,” noted Mary Zimmerle, a multi-disciplinary scientist at False Profit, LLC. “The ‘More’ impulse, which for centuries has been misdirected toward profit, responds almost immediately to large doses of Bass. And the test subjects just want more. For ethical reasons, we are continuing the study in perpetuity.” <br/> <br/> <br/>“This next Dividend is the day before Raindance,” said Bank, “so I promise you will see a strong demonstration of the ‘More’ impulse. Did you see the line-up? It screams ‘More’.” <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>False Profit, LLC has invited everyone to participate in their continuing study of the ‘More’ impulse at the Poleng Lounge, this coming Thursday, June 28th. There is no placebo group. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goddessalchemyproject.tribe.net">The Goddess Alchemy Project</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div> <br/>Maria the Jewess (see wiki) was one of the founders of alchemy. Several sources equate Maria the Jewess to Miriam, Moses' sister, or to Mary Magdalene. The Bain-marie is attributed to her. Also attributed to her are the invention of the alchemical apparatus known as the kerotakis and the tribikos. <br/> <br/>The “Mara” added at the end of her name, in Aramaic, means “Master” or “teacher.” <br/> <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QKgD8xfLrE <br/> <br/>LOVE <br/>Marc</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goddessalchemyproject.tribe.net">The Goddess Alchemy Project</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Blessings flows. <br/>no less than the start of the end of Babylon Tower ( the big mix up).Will anybody read it ? <br/>One Blessed Love Everytime. <br/> <br/>Marc. <br/> <br/> <br/>During the last hundred years, and under many disguises - rag, jazz, rock, funk, soul, pop, reggae, disco, dance, rap, trance, techno, house or hip-hop - black music and dance has ruled over charts and discotheques. <br/>Absorbed by every culture, it has made a world music possible. Church, Turkish, American Indian or Classical music have been translated or grafted onto rock, house or trance. <br/>Black rhythms are now the universal currency of music. <br/> <br/>Poor cotton picker : <br/> <br/>Present-day black music was first produced by American Negro slaves, about two hundred years ago. <br/> <br/>Since then, their music has spread throughout the world, with hundreds of millions of Europeans, Americans and Asians dancing like Africans to the rhythms of black music. <br/> <br/>There had already been a time when all of mankind only knew black rhythms. For the hundreds of thousands of years that all of mankind lived in Africa . Music and dancing had been simple. Thumping the earth with hands and feet, hitting stones together and marking rhythm with a stick of wood. Music began as drumming . <br/> <br/>Writing with letters was invented by the Semites. Printing, computers and, soon, artificial intelligence, were invented by Europeans. <br/>After they had invented thinking, walking and speaking, Africans proceeded to invent singing, music and dancing. <br/> <br/> Heartbreakers <br/> <br/>Through technology and an increased collective consciousness, the world is fast becoming a single village, and mankind a single tribe. <br/> <br/>The last time we were a single tribe was in Africa. <br/>The spread of black music as mankind unites in only too natural. <br/>Its rhythms are the only music united mankind knows . <br/> <br/>We, humans, need that music. <br/>When we were embryos, the only music we heard was the African beat of the heart of our mother. <br/>And we were an embryonic mankind, we also heard, for hundreds of thousands of years, the beat of African drums. <br/> <br/>With black rythms spreading all over the world, all of mankind is hearing the drumming of the heart beat again. <br/>The entire world is becoming Africa. We are back to the womb . <br/>Another delivery is due. <br/> <br/>Free Music <br/> <br/>Nobody really knows where the word Blues comes from. <br/>It bears the color of melancholy. <br/>Blues refers to the color blue, and, in colloquial language, to feel blue is to be sad. Those who first played the blues were slaves, expected to feel blue.. <br/>Blacks had arrived naked to the New World. They were as black as the nightmare they had to go through. Their masters had wiped their family, their clothing, their language, their food, their religion and their skills. Treated as objects, they were worked to death. <br/>Only their melodies survived. And it, no doubt, expressed their pain and alienation . <br/> <br/>The presence of the color blue in this context is curious. In what sense is blues a blue music? Wouldn’t black be a more appropriate color for sadness and melancholy ? <br/>Blue is sadness tinged with hope. The sadness of someone who misses someone else and cannot wait to meet again. <br/>Black is the sadness of mourning, of permanent loss . <br/>The Negroes sang the blues. They missed everything they had left and hoped for better days. <br/> <br/>Color blind <br/> <br/>Colors are not objective perceptions. <br/>A bee does not see flowers with our colors. Even humans are not too sure about the color of certain things. A large number of humans suffer from some degree of color blindness, confusing, for instance, red and green. <br/>Language is also color-blind. In North African Arabic, KHL is black. In Hebrew, this same root means blue. <br/>With the same word, one understands black and the other blue. They must have looked at something confusing, simultaneously black and blue. <br/> <br/>This confusion exists also between white, black and blue. <br/>The French blanc (white, but the n is not pronounced) is written like the English black but pronounced like blue. <br/>Arabic, Hebrew, English or French park blue, white and black under the same sounds. <br/> <br/>An obvious everyday experience induces this confusion of color : the alternation between day and night . <br/>At dawn and at dusk, all shades of blue turn into all shades of black and white. There are hours, before sunrise and after sunset, when it is impossible to say whether the sky is blue or black. Clouds, when they are present, add white to the confusion. <br/> <br/> Cotton again <br/> <br/> <br/>Blues was invented by people who were as black as the night. Music was day time in their darkness. <br/> <br/>The black slaves who endured the worst aspect of slavery were field workers, the famed cotton pickers of so many pieces of blues. Under the blue sky, with clouds that looked like the cotton they picked, they worked from sunset to sunrise, experiencing with their own tired bodies the blue black alternation of dawn and dusk. <br/>Day time blue or white were bad news and hard work. They invented their own blue : songs from Africa which they sang as they picked cotton or sugar cane. <br/>Singing made slaves more effective. Masters were happy. <br/> <br/>The invention of blues by black slaves reflects a tragic experience of day-time blue. <br/> <br/>Music slaves <br/> <br/>In the morning, blue follows black. We rise from bed, full of hopes. <br/>At night, black follows blue. We go to bed in fear. <br/> <br/>When the blacks collectively invented the blues, at the end of the 19th century, it was the beginning of a new dawn for mankind. The black music we now hear everywhere is as blue as the dawn it announces. <br/> <br/>A century ago, Negro slavery was abolished. Since then, blueness has spread and amplified, with many more slaves being freed : wives from their husbands, children from their parents, pupils from their teachers. <br/> <br/> Tell old Pharaoh <br/> <br/>The blueness and dawn I have just described began in fact a long time ago. Mankind is going through a dawn that began a million year ago in Africa. And the blue of that dawn is reinforced, every time a slavery is abolished . <br/> <br/>Negroes were not the first collectively uprooted and enslaved people. In recorded history, they were preceded by the Hebrews. <br/>Four hundred years, the sons of Jacob had been slaves in Ancient Egypt . They were the first to successfully escape collective slavery. <br/> <br/>They had gone down to Egypt as a ball of seventy souls. Just like a fertilized egg, they had come searching for a nest in the African womb. <br/>They came as seventy cells and left as a newborn people. <br/> <br/>Four hundred years, too, the Negroes were enslaved in a modern Egypt called America . <br/> <br/>Hebrews and Negroes had a common experience. <br/>They were both enslaved in a delta. The delta of Mississipi and the delta of the Nile. Two placentas for two people in full growth. <br/> <br/>Music was their common comfort. Drums and banjos for the black. Drums and tambourines for the Hebrews. <br/> <br/>At the time the Hebrews were in Egypt, Memphis and then Taniss were the royal capitals . <br/>For Negroes, Memphis, Tennessee was the capital from which blues spread to the world. <br/>The spread of black music all over the world marks the Exodus of a people, the Negroes. <br/> <br/>Bob Marley’s Exodus <br/> <br/>MaRLeY means in hebrew “I am Bitter”.No surprise then for his band to be the Wailers.Bitterness is strongly associated with the Exodus.During the jewish traditionnal celebration of the Exodus, Passover, whoever hasn’t said “ bitter ” hasn’t celebrated properly. <br/> <br/>Exodus is a reggae album released by Bob Marley and the Wailers. It was and still is a huge international hit. In 1998, Time magazine named Exodus the best music album of the 20th century. <br/>The Rastafarian way of life started in Jamaica around the turn of the 20th century with a strong emphasis on an “Africanized” Old Testament. The Rastafarians identify themselves with the ancient Israelites and their story of oppression, Diaspora, and redemption <br/> <br/>Bob Marley was the world’s most renown Rastafarian, made popular through reggae music; a legendary singer/songwriter, with his group the Wailers he was the first man from a third world country to penetrate international markets; he was and still is incredibly influential in the political and spiritual struggles of his time and continues to be associated with the fight for freedom in many countries <br/> <br/> <br/>Four centuries of slavery is a genetic duration. <br/>The Bible mentions it for the Hebrews, an obviously incorrect historical fact . <br/>This duration became historic several times: American blacks, Eastern Slavs and Western whites. <br/> <br/>Eastern Blues <br/> <br/>Since the early Middle Ages, Slavic countries had been the natural European reservoir for slave shopping. In those days, one just needed to raid a village in Hungary or Ukraine in order to pick up the goods. <br/> <br/>The word Slav tells this story. <br/>Some relate it to slave, an origin which reflects the sad past of these people. Others relate it to slovo, a Russian root meaning speech. <br/>Slavs are those who share the same speech. <br/> <br/>These countries have ceased to act as slave reservoirs. But they have known slavery longer than anyone else in Europe. It lasted four centuries. From the Tsars who had enslaved their bodies to Communism who had enslaved their speech. <br/>When Communist Russia was at the height of its power, the West was called the free world. The East were the Slavic and enslaved world. Although their bodies had been liberated, they could not speak freely their ideas. This ambiguous freedom is reflected in the double origin of Slav : a mixture of slave and slovo (word). <br/> <br/>In 1990, with the collapse of Slav communist regimes, another Exodus took place, ending four hundred years of slavery. <br/>To the sounds of music, old and new. <br/> <br/>Rock, obviously, was a major force of protest under the communist regimes. But a long time before, during their period of darkness, the Slavs had also developed their own blues. <br/>Like the blues, Slavic music is melancholic in character, comforting those who sang and those who listened. A fact underlined by the resemblance between music and muzhik, i.e., the name of peasant slaves in Tsarist Russia. <br/> <br/>We have seen three major cultures enslaved for four centuries : Jews, Blacks and Slavs . Their Exodus was each time a stronger blue for a mankind living in pitch black. <br/>Music accompanied their Exodus. <br/>The drums of Myriam, the sister of Moses. <br/>The drums of the blacks of Africa. <br/>The fiddles of Eastern Europe. <br/> <br/>A fourth people knew four centuries of slavery. <br/>The young Europeans and Americans that made Rock’s success. <br/> <br/>Carpenter blues <br/> <br/>Blacks are otherwise known as Negroes, i.e., the Latin root for black. <br/>In the slang of slave traders, they had come to be called « coke », i.e., burnt coal. Across the Ocean, they had been transported as heaps of coal. <br/> <br/>This human coal dominates music nowadays. We, humans, are sensitive to that music for the simple reason that singing, anyway, produces coal. <br/> <br/>Human lungs contain a tree, called the bronchial tree. We have seen how it looks and functions like plant trees. <br/> <br/>This human tree is made of bronchiae, an exact sound cousin of branches. We breathe and fill these branches with air, for the sake of the oxygen it contains. <br/>Oxygen is liberated by plants, trees in particular. <br/>It blows off green trees to reach our lungs. Oxygen is wood turned into air. A wood that fills the bronchiae of our respiratory tree. <br/> <br/>When we speak or sing, this wooden air passes between the vocal cords. There, it is cut into pieces of different sizes, called sounds or words. <br/>The vocal cords function like two knives that cut the air that passes between them. They sculpt bronchial air into beautiful wood pieces, all the more beautiful if they come from the voice of a singer. <br/> <br/>Our throat is a carpenter’s workshop. <br/>A field expressed in many languages. <br/>German, for instance, uses the same sound, SaGe, for sawing wood and speaking. To speak is to saw pieces of wood with the vocal cords. <br/>In English, human voices are said to have a timbre. You might as well say timber, i.e., cut wood. <br/>In Hebrew, NGR means carpenter, whereas GRN means throat . In Hebrew again, the root ZMR means both to sing and to prune branches from a tree. <br/>Singing is just that : pruning branches from the air of the bronchial tree. <br/> Burning brain <br/> <br/>Pieces of cut wood leave the mouth of the speaker, headed for those who listen. They penetrate their ears, and there, stoke the fires of our brain. <br/> <br/>The brain is a furnace : it accounts for a fiftieth of our total body weight but consumes a fourth of its energy. The brain burns. <br/>In that furnace, and with the help of the hammer and the anvil bones of our ears, we forge our own ideas. <br/>Our brain forges everything in fact : the images we see, the music we hear, the velvet we touch. Or is the image we have of reality a forgery of our brain ? <br/> <br/>Humans fell trees to make paper. They also cut wood when they speak. Hebrew « ‘ets » means both wood and giving advice. To give a piece of advice, is to give wood for thought . <br/>Irrelevant words and conversations are bubbles that blow off our ears. Interesting ideas are pure wood. They are eagerly burnt. Good music is also good wood and is entirely turned into coal by our brains . <br/> <br/>NeGRo singing is black music, it was burnt down to coal by whoever sang and listened to it. <br/> <br/>Blues emerged from its Southern anonymity at the beginning of the last century. Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, a true cotton-picker, took it North. There, it married the experience of poor white migrants with the protesting words of Woody Guthrie. <br/>It then absorbed the biblical experience of Bob Dylan, the distinction of the Beatles and the cultivated primitivity of the Rolling Stones. <br/> <br/>Dylan and the others <br/> <br/>Bob Dylan stands where all the roads of blues meet. <br/>He sings black music. <br/>He is Jewish. <br/>His parents were migrants from Slavic countries. <br/>He was young and came from the working class. <br/> <br/>Six enslaved people in his background helped him wrote protest songs . <br/> <br/>His original name is Robert Zimmerman. <br/>Zimmerman means carpenter, so that his real name is Robert, the Carpenter . Which is really what all singers are. <br/> <br/>One singer influenced Dylan more than any other. <br/>Woody Guthrie had himself taken up the battle of new slaves America had created, the exploited migrants and workers. <br/> <br/>Guthrie is an old English root which means « throat ». The teacher of Bob Dylan, i.e., Robert the Carpenter, was called Woody Throat. <br/> <br/>With Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, our vocal cords found a way to inform us on how they work. With discs and radio, the wood cut from the lungs of singers could spread everywhere. <br/> <br/> The greatest bonfire <br/> <br/>By the late sixties, Rock concerts had become a major way of protesting against a society which was not fun. <br/>The myth of Woodstock took place in 1969, near Bethel, New York. It was named Woodstock as a tribute to Bob Dylan, the Carpenter . <br/>He lived then in a similarly named nearby village. <br/> <br/>Woodstock marks the end of another four centuries of slavery. <br/>For four centuries, since the arrival of the first Puritans on the coast of America, emotions had been enslaved. They exploded in Woodstock. <br/>Woodstock means a pile of wood. <br/>Taking over from Bob the Carpenter, this festival was a change of paradigm. <br/>At the time of Woodstock , a whole generation of Americans made their Exodus from the slavery of their Puritan culture, a society of war, prejudice and hierarchy. <br/> <br/>Before Berlin, Woodstock had been a breach in the Wall. <br/>Teacher’s power, conjugal helplessness, parental abuse and the military’s right over life and death began their progressive collapse. <br/> <br/>For three days, hundreds of thousands of youth burnt together the wood of the best Rock music ever. Logs and timber from the blues of black slaves and from those prophets of Israel who first cried against slavery . <br/> <br/>Woodstock was a true dawn from a social nightmare. Blue appearing from black. It opened with a black singer and closed with a black singer, with the name of the first, R. Haven, reminding all that heaven was filling with a new dawn. <br/>A dawn that generation chose to adopt as a uniform : the blue-jeans. Of LeVi’S fame . <br/> <br/>The Beatlemania <br/> <br/>As an individual, Dylan towers with achievements. <br/>One band towers over all others : the Beatles. <br/>They began by making good Rock. They ended up with protest singing. <br/>They were pioneers in world music. Their freely mixed country, folk, rock, blues and classical music. <br/> <br/>They chose a strange name, a meaningless word according to dictionaries, but not according to meaning fields. <br/>Having made millions out of Blues, they surely recognized their debt towards those who invented it, when they included the letters BLueS in those of BeaTLeS. And by adding a T to BLueS, they knew they were in for BaTtLeS. <br/> <br/>The Beatles mark another dawn for another enslaved people. <br/>For a whole collectivity, they are another piece of blue appearing after a nightmare. <br/> <br/>With other significant bands, they came from the Northern city of Liverpool. <br/> <br/>England was the first industrialized country in the Western world. <br/>Its aggressive colonial and economic policies had produced immense wealth for the very few. At the same time, it created a whole new class of slaves. English peasants left en masse the countryside to become industrial workers. Industrial slaves would be more correct. <br/> <br/>In Manchester and Liverpool, white people were enslaved in coal mines or in steel mills. <br/>As humans, they may have been whites, but as slaves, they were blacks, black from the coal and the coke. <br/>The color blue was there too. These slaves were called blue-collar workers and had to wear a blouse. <br/> <br/>This slavery had begun four centuries before, under the reign of Elizabeth I, when England established itself as the first capitalist country . <br/> <br/>The sons of these miners and steel workers grew in Liverpool, the blackest and saddest city on earth. The skies were blackened by smoke, and were, at best, dark gray from low, heavy clouds. <br/>Except for the music they played, they rarely saw any blue. <br/> <br/>The world success of Liverpool bands marks another Exodus. <br/>This music gave a touch of freedom and fame, directly or by delegation. But more than anything, for the boys and girls of Liverpool, that music shocked the masters in London. The battle of the beatles. <br/> <br/>And in the end, the stiff danced and freed themselves a bit, too. <br/> <br/>Liverpool again <br/> <br/>Blues is considered a melancholic music. It was born in a time of slavery, when people felt blue. <br/>The word melancholy is rich. Melan comes from the Greek for black and choly from the Greek for bile. The Ancients believed that sadness corresponded to the accumulation of black bile. <br/> <br/>Liverpool is the Memphis, Tennessee of Europe. It was the address of European blues. Depressingly black, Liverpool had to feel blue and invent a blues. <br/>Liverpool can be read liver pool. And the pool that characterizes the liver is that made by bile. In Liverpool, with its black people and streets, this bile was black, i.e., melan-cholic. <br/> <br/> <br/>Rock and Stone <br/> <br/>Bob Dylan and the Beatles had produced a sophisticated version of the blues of the Negroes. <br/>The Rolling Stones represent the other pole : a return to the roots of primitive music. A music danced on stage, with suggestive sexual motions never seen with Dylan and the Beatles , but constant with the Rolling Stones. <br/>Primitivity was cultured and amplified. Rhythms were simpler. A lot of bass, of heart sounds. <br/>The Stones are whites singing back to Africa, back to the music of the hunters. They went back to the African Stone Age, when tools were crudely carved out of stones. <br/>Their Rock claimed kinship with the music of that time. Rock means stone. And the greatest of all Rock bands, the Stones, led this return to Stone age music. <br/>The Stone Age is echoed in the Age of the Stones. <br/>Their key singer, Mick Jagger, embodies this return. The way he danced, the large, negroid lips he sported, and his name belong to Stone Age times. <br/>Mick Jagger means «Mick, the Hunter ». <br/>And everybody got stoned in those days, and rolled like a stone. <br/> <br/>Where to ? <br/> <br/>Universal Music appears everywhere in the world. <br/>Everywhere, this music is colored in black African tones. <br/> <br/> <br/>The astounding success of black music is not meaningless. <br/>It continues a process begun millions of years ago, when Man was first comforted from hard labor by the use of art. <br/>It has accompanied every Exodus since then. <br/> <br/> <br/>After the magic of the sixties and the seventies, music is now confronted to a major crisis of identity. The latest descendants of the blues: disco, rap, techno, house, trance have become ever less melodious. <br/> <br/>It is difficult to appreciate how much further this process of simplification can go. <br/> <br/>The world is giving birth to a new human. <br/>African drumming, i.e., heart beat, accompany this pregnancy and delivery . <br/> <br/>Although the genuine origin of the word that means “she possesses many things” is Ugandan, Nyahbingi musical accompaniment consists of a heartbeat rhythm, played in 4/4 time on a trinity of drums. <br/> <br/> Nyahbingi Drumming &amp; Rhythms has come down to the Rastaman as a concept and theology. Therefore, it is through prayer, music and biblical reasonings that the Rastaman chants bingi, calling on the forces of nature to destroy the powers of wickedness. <br/> <br/>Nyahbingi Drumming &amp; Rhythms can be considered the true origin of reggae music.Reggae music is unique among descendant of blues. It has never been a Mainstream music or a fashion music but it seems the most universal as it’s devellopement is continuing on all continents. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goddessalchemyproject.tribe.net">The Goddess Alchemy Project</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Hi Friends, <br/>I am wanting to find dance space that would be available for personal use to exercise the need to groove that I feel so often. I am either looking to rent out a studio with a number of other people who would want to go in on a space together, or to just get into a space that someone already has that I can take over some of the rent from. Because it would be used for dancing, I would need hardwood floors, and preferably large mirrors, and a stereo available. I am wanting to have space that I can go play my own music and get my exercise from dancing and to be able to further explore my body through dance. I live in Cupertino, so I need to find somewhere that is reasonable driving distance from me. If you have space available that I can rent from, or if you are interested in joing together to also look for space, please contact me through tribe. <br/>Kelley</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goddessalchemyproject.tribe.net">The Goddess Alchemy Project</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>It seems to me that the most significant difference between the Tantric and the Kabalistic orientations of sexual union is in the direction given to the movement of the semen. In both traditions, the semen constitutes a luminous energy, or more precisely, in the words of Tara Michael, “the semen (bindu) produced in the genital organs, at the level of the mldhra-cakra, is only a gross materialized form of the causal bindu or creative energy present in the superior centers of the head” (Introduction aux voie de Yoga, Monaco, 1980, p.210). For the Cabbalists, however, the aim is to concentrate this semen from the brain and all the organs of the body in order to propel it with the greatest force and determination towards the female partner, so as realize a perfect union, which would be the active symbol of the union of the male and female sefirot (Tiferet and Malkhut). For the Hindu Tantrics, on the contrary, “the aim is to reduce this gross form of semen to its original subtle form, to reconvert it into nectar, by drawing it in the ascending movement towards the summit of the skull, which is represented by the path of re-ascent, the susumn. If the yogin has not been able, through the khecar-mudr, to immobilize the virile energy at the highest level, in the cerebral centers, he must be capable of making this accumulated energy in the form of semen re-ascend through the vajrol-mudr [...] Even if he is married or unites ritually with a companion in the Tantric way, the yogin must never let his semen escape. “The fall of the sperm is death; life is the retention of sperm” (iva-Samhit, IV, 88)” (ibid., p.210). Hence the application of a special practice, called vajrol-mudr, which permits the reabsorption by the penis of the sperm which has been allowed to escape. <br/> <br/>The fusion of the masculine and feminine essence must be achieved within the body of the yogin and not outside, in the female womb, and “through this conjunction of opposed elements is accomplished the task of yoga which is the neutralization of the web of dualities"(T. Michael, ibid., p.211). Instead of the tension of corporeal and spiritual energies of the Cabbalist which are oriented by him towards procreation—not only physical procreation but also the procreation or the attraction of a sanctified soul)—the Tantric sexual union aims, thanks to a self-mastery, at the reintegration “of the feminine principle in the masculine principle, a reintegration culminating in an experience of beatitude, of ‘union without end', which is unknown at the level of the senses” (ibid., p.211). No doubt, this radical difference in the orientation of the coupling depends on the differing world-views. Not only with respect to the conception of the passage of time from which the yogin fundamentally seeks to liberate himself, whereas the Cabbalist experiences time as a meaningfully oriented process, polarized by a redemptive end which is more or less near. But also with regard to their respective notions of accomplishment: for the Tantric, what is essential is the movement from below to above which permits the return to the initial state of non-separation; for the Cabbalist the essential consists in best assuring the descent of the superior light and its implantation in an inferior place such that the latter is only the receptacle necessary for the flow, within which the holy union is realized. This feminine receptacle is a vase of light, the power of reception which was never absolutely separated from the power of emission. Between the Masculine and the Feminine, there can be alienation, distance, dissociation, which can take on the traits of a separation or of an exile. But it is never a question of a substantial or ontological separation. However far the Cabbalists may have gone in the affirmation of a fission in the One, of a disjunction between its structuring Masculine and the Feminine poles, never does this fission assume the form of an essential or substantial separation. It always concerns an internal exile, a divorce where the two terms move apart and are disjoined within a continuum which has its source beyond being and which is occupied and totally filled by a tension towards a redemptive future. It is this same tension which is the primary focus in the mystical ceremony of coupling described in the text of R. Moses Cordovero. <br/> <br/>Nevertheless, Tantricism also proposes a conception of union which brings it closer in a way to the Kabalistic vision. When the plenitude of the yogic state is realized, when the breaths stirred into motion dissolve in the uncreated Source—the formless Absolute—the state of samdhi is achieved. The re-ascent of these subtle energies within the body of the yogin amounts to a re-ascent of the akti, the feminine power of iva: “Kualin akti is brought back to iva in the thousand-petalled lotus, the place of identity; the primordial Woman is reunited with the primordial Man, Power with Consciousness, the universe of duality is reabsorbed, and the original Unity is restored"(T. Michael, ibid., p.216). And to reproduce an ancient Hindu text: “This wife entering the royal path, resting at intervals in the sacred sites, embraces the supreme Husband and releases the flow of nectar” flooding the microcosm, the body of the yogin (text cited by T. Michael, ibid., p.216 note 34). The exercises of tantric yoga seek to imitate the model of the integral union of the god iva and his feminine power, called <br/>akti, somewhat in the manner in which, among the Cabbalists, the conjugal union aims at imitating the superior model of the union of the sefirot Tiferet and Malkhut. However, the place and support of this union is in the former case the mystic's body itself, whereas in the latter case this place is the very relation itself and not the body or the mind of the man or of the woman, but their bonding, the in-between where they meet, a place that properly belongs neither to one nor to the other. Neither matter nor substance, but where both find their original unity which is also their final unity, not a unity of reabsorption, but a unity of expansion, the result of the inner tension towards exteriority which is metamorphosed into a supplement, into an increase of interiority. A triumphant interiority which brings about the revelation or the turning back of exteriority, which manifests its pre-ontological proximity. One feature specific to the Kabbalah is to consider the feminine receptacle as already united in advance with the emitting masculine organ, for the one is destined for the other through a bond—the qiddushin or marital sacraments—which transmutes exteriority by realizing the exclusivity of the consecration of a wife. It is thus wholly essential, for the Cabbalist, that the mystical rites of coupling be accomplished by a legitimate couple (who are besides not necessarily a legal couple though they tend to be taken as such), for it is the condition sine qua non for the emergence of the place of union, a place which transcends the body and the soul of either and which is situated at their point of intersection: their own private beyond, an extremity bordering on a non-existent through which is established and passes a certain flux issuing from the Infinite. <br/> <br/>For Cordovero, if the totality of the commandments of the Torah refer to the union of the sefirot, only human coupling, the first prescription enunciated in Genesis, is its perfect symbol (Tefillah le-Moshe, 213a). For this reason, ritual meditations are attached to it, which render life and physical love sacred. However, these spiritual practices enter into the framework of ordinary conjugal relations, unlike the Tantric rituals which are exceptional and extra-conjugal. If the masculine and feminine sefirot are called Brother and Sister, they have that status because at the level of the divine world their union is not an incest; but there is no question of imitating the superior model at the human level, contrary to certain tantric conceptions which recommend this during the sacred mithuna. Finally, for our Cabbalist, in the case where a man finds himself without his wife, on the evening of the Sabbath which is the most propitious moment for mating, “he must accomplish this union through speech” (ibid.): in other words, he should enunciate the Kabalistic text which describes its modalities. Speech can thus substitute for the concrete sexual act, and even be its exact replica. This affirmation will serve us as a conclusion: even if it finds support in the physical reality of the conjugal act, the union is accomplished essentially at the symbolic level. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>by <br/> <br/>Charles Mopsik <br/>(translated from the French by Sunthar Visuvalingam) <br/> <br/>Contribution to Hananya Goodman, edited, <br/> <br/>Between Jerusalem and Benares <br/>(Albany: State University of New York Press, 1994) <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goddessalchemyproject.tribe.net">The Goddess Alchemy Project</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Greetings family, friends, allies, ancestors, and supporting web weavers... <br/>On behalf of our evolving collective we are excited to continue expanding and networking within the vast resources we have available to us among our tribe. Our website is still under construction (we are in full trust of the divine timing of things, and simultaneously igniting the fire under our asses daily, we don't mind if you join us in this effort :) and until it is up and running we are grateful to have resources such as tribe with which we can represent ourselves and organize our systems of support. July seems to be a nice moment to exhale, we are taking the time to transform, integrate, organize, and express. We are currently recording an album, working on our website and new paradigm business models, expanding and refining our clothing line, writing, creating, and refining poetic works, and compiling and organizing all we have created up until now to move forward efficiently. So please, any and everything you are inspired to contribute, reflect, offer, ignite, re-member, inquire, and beyond to this evolving community...come yee forth with thy divine inspiration! Infinite thanks and praise for all that which has lead us to this sacred moment...blessed in the knowing. In life, namaste <br/> <br/>Alchemistas</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://goddessalchemyproject.tribe.net">The Goddess Alchemy Project</a> - 1 reply </div>
