Okay, "krishna smurf" pops out at me. What the hey?

that was my first thought that someone would ask about...just because i'm the only one who lists it,for starters. hee.

anyway,it's a color thing. have you ever seen a picture of krishna? he's the same light blue color as the smurfs. for some reason 'krishna smurf' popped into my head one day and the picture in my mind made me laugh. i think i like krishna just because he IS such a pretty color!

Flower consciousness.

i'm really glad you asked that,because as it turns out,the term i want is 'floral consciousness' and it's from dannyboy's theory in jitterbug perfume by tom robbins.

(deleted comment)

yes,i thought i remembered that you did! i realized it when i typed in "flower consciousness' and "tom robbins" together on google to find that passage on the 'net and all i got for a result was my user info page! i was very puzzled for a bit there!

NO SHIT. I just recommended that book to someone yesterday. It's been too long since I've read it, obviously, because here is a sign I should read it again ;-)

All Hail Pan!

ooh...i love it when we're all tuned up!

What is huna?

ah,that's a slightly tricky one,because it may not be 'pc'. however,i like to be considerate and i also like to follow my heart and not someone else's rules. this preamble is because 'huna' is the hawaiian word for 'secret' and serge king uses that term for what he practices. i absolutely love his book the urban shaman his interpretation,if you will,of huna. so i'd say huna is a hawaiian way of looking at the world. some hawaiian natives don't like serge--he goes by the name serge kahili king,as he says he was 'adopted' by a hawaiian family) and i don't know if that's because he's not a native or because he has distorted the teachings. if he has distorted the teachings,i think his 'distortions' are wonderful. he's got a great website at huna.org if you are curious.

while i'm talking about it,i may as well share his 7 principles,because it's those principles,more than any shamanic techniques (i'm not much into shamanism or rituals myself) that i really love about his book and philosophy. they jive well with the ideas of the abraham teachings,which have added immensely to my life.

1. the world is what you think it is.

2. there are no limits

3. energy flows where attention goes

4. now is the moment of power

5. aloha-to love is to be happy with (love increases as judgment decreases)

6. all power comes from within
(ooh,i'm sure some fundies wouldn't like that one,but their saviour said the same thing 'the kingdom of heaven is within'.)

7. effectiveness is the measure of truth (or as i say 'the proof is in the pudding' and jesus said 'by their fruits shall you know them'.)

thanks for asking!

Thanks for the detailed answer - always fun to learn something new! :)

Ok...what is: "ludic revolution" ??

excellent question! thanks for playing!

it's a great question because it required me to go do some research. i probably swiped it from

woolgatherers but i was also aware of bob black and he talks about it in this essay.

as you probably know,'ludic' refers to play. (which reminds me,i still haven't read the glass bead game-have you?)
a related interest of mine is 'play ethic' which is the name of a book by pat kane. i had to order it from amazon canada because it wasn't available in this country. i'm just glad that the credit card companies do the money conversions because i wouldn't know how to do it!

anyway,i think life should be fun,dammit! i was in a cranky mood this morning and not having much fun but then you asked this question and i researched it and learning is fun to me,so thanks for the boost!

Hmmm...interesting. I read the essay and it is a nice idea in theory, but I don't see how to put it into practice...at least until Bucky's world of the non-employed becomes a reality.

But it is interesting! :-)
