	brian jonestown massacre brian jonestown massacre Anton alfred newcombe fjordson	Virgin: the world's best passenger complaint letter? Here we reproduce a complaint letter sent to Sir Richard Branson, which is currently being emailed globally and is considered by many to be the world's funniest passenger complaint letter.   Published: 12:48PM GMT 26 Jan 2009 Previous 1 of 7 Images Next 'Look at this Richard. Just look at it' Dear Mr Branson   REF: Mumbai to Heathrow 7th December 2008 I love the Virgin brand, I really do which is why I continue to use it despite a series of unfortunate incidents over the last few years. This latest incident takes the biscuit. Ironically, by the end of the flight I would have gladly paid over a thousand rupees for a single biscuit following the culinary journey of hell I was subjected to at thehands of your corporation. Look at this Richard. Just look at it: [see image 1, above]. I imagine the same questions are racing through your brilliant mind as were racing through mine on that fateful day. What is this? Why have I been given it? What have I done to deserve this? And, which one is the starter, which one is the desert? You don’t get to a position like yours Richard with anything less than a generous sprinkling of observational power so I KNOW you will have spotted the tomato next to the two yellow shafts of sponge on the left. Yes, it’s next to the sponge shaft without the green paste. That’s got to be the clue hasn’t it. No sane person would serve a desert with a tomato would they. Well answer me this Richard, what sort of animal would serve a desert with peas in: [see image 2, above]. I know it looks like a baaji but it’s in custard Richard, custard. It must be the pudding. Well you’ll be fascinated to hear that it wasn't custard. It was a sour gel with a clear oil on top. It’s only redeeming feature was that it managed to be so alien to my palette that it took away the taste of the curry emanating from our miscellaneous central cuboid of beige matter. Perhaps the meal on the left might be the desert after all. Anyway, this is all irrelevant at the moment. I was raised strictly but neatly by my parents and if they knew I had started desert before the main course, a sponge shaft would be the least of my worries. So lets peel back the tin-foil on the main dish and see what’s on offer. I’ll try and explain how this felt. Imagine being a twelve year old boy Richard. Now imagine it’s Christmas morning and you’re sat their with your final present to open. It’s a big one, and you know what it is. It’s that Goodmans stereo you picked out the catalogue and wrote to Santa about. Only you open the present and it’s not in there. It’s your hamster Richard. It’s your hamster in the box and it’s not breathing. That’s how I felt when I peeled back the foil and saw this: [see image 3, above]. Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking it’s more of that Baaji custard. I admit I thought the same too, but no. It’s mustard Richard. MUSTARD. More mustard than any man could consume in a month. On the left we have a piece of broccoli and some peppers in a brown glue-like oil and on the right the chef had prepared some mashed potato. The potato masher had obviously broken and so it was decided the next best thing would be to pass the potatoes through the digestive tract of a bird. Once it was regurgitated it was clearly then blended and mixed with a bit of mustard. Everybody likes a bit of mustard Richard. By now I was actually starting to feel a little hypoglycaemic. I needed a sugar hit. Luckily there was a small cookie provided. It had caught my eye earlier due to it’s baffling presentation: [see image 4, above]. It appears to be in an evidence bag from the scene of a crime. A CRIME AGAINST BLOODY COOKING. Either that or some sort of back-street underground cookie, purchased off a gun-toting maniac high on his own supply of yeast. You certainly wouldn’t want to be caught carrying one of these through customs. Imagine biting into a piece of brass Richard. That would be softer on the teeth than the specimen above. I was exhausted. All I wanted to do was relax but obviously I had to sit with that mess in front of me for half an hour. I swear the sponge shafts moved at one point. Once cleared, I decided to relax with a bit of your world-famous onboard entertainment. I switched it on: [see image 5, above]. I apologise for the quality of the photo, it’s just it was incredibly hard to capture Boris Johnson’s face through the flickering white lines running up and down the screen. Perhaps it would be better on another channel: [see image 6, above]. Is that Ray Liotta? A question I found myself asking over and over again throughout the gruelling half-hour I attempted to watch the film like this. After that I switched off. I’d had enough. I was the hungriest I’d been in my adult life and I had a splitting headache from squinting at a crackling screen. My only option was to simply stare at the seat in front and wait for either food, or sleep. Neither came for an incredibly long time. But when it did it surpassed my wildest expectations: [see image 7, above]. Yes! It’s another crime-scene cookie. Only this time you dunk it in the white stuff. Richard…. What is that white stuff? It looked like it was going to be yoghurt. It finally dawned on me what it was after staring at it. It was a mixture between the Baaji custard and the Mustard sauce. It reminded me of my first week at university. I had overheard that you could make a drink by mixing vodka and refreshers. I lied to my new friends and told them I’d done it loads of times. When I attempted to make the drink in a big bowl it formed a cheese Richard, a cheese. That cheese looked a lot like your baaji-mustard. So that was that Richard. I didn’t eat a bloody thing. My only question is: How can you live like this? I can’t imagine what dinner round your house is like, it must be like something out of a nature documentary. As I said at the start I love your brand, I really do. It’s just a shame such a simple thing could bring it crashing to it’s knees and begging for sustenance. Yours Sincererly XXXX Paul Charles, Virgin’s Director of Corporate Communications, confirmed that Sir Richard Branson had telephoned the author of the letter and had thanked him for his “constructive if tongue-in-cheek” email. Mr Charles said that Virgin was sorry the passenger had not liked the in-flight meals which he said was “award-winning food which is very popular on our Indian routes.”   Posted by brian jonestown massacre on Thursday, November 05, 2009 - 13:23 [Reply to this]

	brian jonestown massacre brian jonestown massacre Anton alfred newcombe fjordson	Projective Synthetic Geometry in Lady Frieda Harris' Tarot Paintings and in Aleister Crowley's Book of the Law Claas Hoffmann It was in 1904 when the english magician Aleister Crowley wrote the the Book of the Law. It was dictated by a praeter-human intelligence calling itself Aiwass. The book consists of three chapters written down in Cairo on 8th, 9th and 10th April at noon. 33 years later, Crowley met the artist painter Lady Frieda Harris. He had decided to create a new Tarot deck and asked Harris to paint the cards according his ideas, that is according his instructions. Harris agreed, became a member of the O.T.O. and they becan their work. A lot of the cards had to be painted several times. The drafts still are in private possession while the final originals can be found at the Warburg Institute London, a part of the University Library. The Library Warburg was founded in 1903 by the jewish son of a banker, Aby Warburg in Hamburg. At the beginning of the Nazi regime in 1933, the complete collection (80,000 books) was sent to London where the Warburg Institute now was founded. There, I was able to study the original Tarot paintings. I also saw the unpublished drafts of earlier versions, in private ownership. Lady Frieda Harris painted far more versions than the published ones. All in all, she worked five years on them. At the end of his life, Crowley wrote a book about this new Tarot, called The Book Thoth. About the card The Aeon Crowley wrote in the Book Thoth: >This new Tarot may therefore be regarded as a series of illustrations to the Book of the Law; the doctrine of that Book is everywhere implicit.< (Book of Thoth, page 115) If you cut out these cards and remove their frames, especially the trumps can be put together in a very harmonic fashion. Why so? Crowley noted in the Book of Thoth that the harmony of the cards was proof of the correct application of symbols and colours of the holy cabballa, upon which this tarot was created. By making collages of these cards, I learned that the link between the peculiar cards was not only made through their colours or symbols but through their geometry. Which kind of geometry was used by Harris, which made these links possible? The Geometry she used was an evolution of the strict Euclidian geometry. Its roots had been developed by the mathematician Descartes in the 17th Century. It's called "Projective Synthetic Geometry" and was developed by many mathematicians and scientists throughout Europe. Many of Descartes' ideas were based on both mathematical and mystic assumptions, e.g. his axiom of parallels meeting at infinity. The ends of parallel lines lie in two opposite directions, but the idea of the point in infinity is that the point, infinitely distant in a direction, is the same as those infinitely distant in the opposite direction. This step in the development of Projective Geometry, based on the idea of elements in infinity, brought movement and perspective to the Euclidian concept of rigid, fixed forms. In the following centuries the next step based on the idea of polarity (center and periphery) was taken; in other words, the concept of a polarity between a central point and an infinitely distant surface. These thoughts then had the consequence that each point in each conceivable space is the same distance from a surface in infinity. The next step, taken in the 20th century, comes from the concept of space, polar or opposite to our three-dimensional space. Can one move one's concept of a surface in infinity into an infinite center? ... How did Frieda Harris come into contact with the concepts of Projective Geometry and their practical, graphical conversion? Three people, whose spiritual paths were different from Crowley's, were responsible for this: Rudolf Steiner, George Adams and Olive Whicher. Rudolf Steiner was the founder of Anthroposophy, from which, among other things, come Waldorf (Rudolf Steiner) schools, Eurhythmy and biodynamic agriculture. George Adams was one of the people who helped to bring Anthroposophy to England. He met Rudolf Steiner personally during a trip to Dornach and at the same time beloned to a group of scientists who worked on the advancement of Projective Geometry. They worked on the concept of a space whose center is infinity. Rudolf Steiner recognized that people required in their concepts the idea of infinity in the center as well as infinity in the periphery. Mankind needed the concept of infinity in the center in order to find their mental and emotional equilibrium, and in order to further develop spiritually. Steiner assumed infinity in a center in the sun. That is, infinity can be found in the sun, or perhaps better said, infinite nothing. Olive Whicher tried patiently to explain the principles of Projective Geometry to me. She wrote and published together with George Adams books about Projective Geometry and worked after Adams death until today as an author, Anthroposophical researcher and teacher. Her last large publication was the book Sonnenraum (Sun Space), in which she explains in particular the mathematical research through the spiritual- scientific realizations of Rudolf Steiner. It is taught at Emerson College, a Rudolf Steiner school in Forest Row, South England. In March, 1935, she met the Anthroposophical Society in London and therefore also George Adams a short time later. Adams taught Projective Geometry in the Rudolf Steiner house. Whicher attended Adams' lectures and soon began to work together with him. Adams and Whicher gave courses in Projective Geometry when Frieda Harris visited the Rudolf Steiner house. This occurred as Harris began work on the Crowley Tarot cards, probably in the year 1937, because from this time on there are entries in Crowley's diaries about his work with Harris. Harris took courses in Projective Geometry and made friends with Whicher and Adams. George Adams called her Diana, because he found that this name fit her substantially better than Frieda. A representation of Diana can be found on the tarot trump Art. Frieda sometimes told George and Olive about her work with Crowley, and that she used what she learned in the courses for her work on the tarot pictures. Whenever Olive told me about Harris, she spoke of what a special and friendly person she was. The meetings with Harris also gave Adams and Whicher quite practical impulses in their own graphical work. Harris suggested that they use very hard colored pencils as well as very soft pastel colors for work with plant pictures. Some of these plant pictures that Adams and Whicher worked on still hang in the Rudolf Steiner House in London. On these plant pictures they worked in order to show the ideas of Projective Geometry in the world that is visible and well known to us. They also wanted to include Goethe's scientific ideas in their work. For me, the essential contents of Goethean research is a revolt against the mistake that one can analyze and understand something alive in the same manner as something dead. One can not attain an understanding of a tree by taking it apart and analyzing it like an automobile. Goethe's idea of changing forms in the plant world is referred to by Adams and Whicher in their understanding of the constant process between space and anti-space, whereby anti-space is betterdescribed by the word Sun-space, because it is the source of the power that makes life on earth possible. That this power in the plants is visible to everybody, was recognized by Adams on a spring day in 1947 with Olive in Regents Park (it lies about a minuts from the Rudolf Steiner House), as they walked by a budding hedge Adams suddenly stopped and exclaimed to Olive (I quote from Whicher's book George Adams): >"Naturally! That IS an ethereal space!" And then he described in geometric terms how the germinating impulse - the united group of small flat leaves or an individual leaf, how it emerges as a cone from a point of growth and as it grows it loses ever more of its vitality - actually the living substance is a physical manifestation of an etheric space. This growth process is found, instead of in an ethereal space, in the space and with the powers of the "point of growth", which contains an infinity in the inside. So a seed or a germinating embryo is physically small, but ethereally large! It was an exact analog to the concept from higher mathematics.< Also in the Book of the Law the infinitely small point, which contains the vitality of the infinity, is clearly emphasized. The book calls this point Hadit. Hadit describes itself in the Book of the Law as follows: >I am not extended< and: >I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life, yet therefore is the knowledge of me the knowledge of death.< The three chapters of the Book of the Law refer to the three Egyptian gods Nuit, Hadit and Horus. Had or Hadit stands for the internal center of each human. It is the spark of light which transcends death and rebirth. Hadit is not extended. Its space is of the quality of the sun space. Nu or Nuit is the goddess of the sky. She is the starlit sky and encloses everything that surrounds us. Hoor or Horus is the child of Nuit and Hadit. He is the result of the interaction between the infinity in a center and the infinity in the periphery. The second chapter of the Book of the Law begins with the following verses: 1. Nu! the hiding of Hadit. 2. Come! all ye, and learn the secret that hath not yet been revealed. I, Hadit, am the complement of Nu, my bride. I am not extended, and Khabs is the name of my House. 3. In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is nowhere found. 4. Yet she shall be known & I never. In these verses we find a reference to the thoughts contained in Projective Geometry and to the concept of the sun space.A quotation from Adams' essay Die Weltenkräfte des Umkreises und die Pflanze (The World Power of the Circumference and the Plant) will clarify this: >We should as clearly as possible build the concept of real picture forces, which float over the universe as two-dimensional pages, instead of like terrestrially constituted forces of punctual centers shooting outward like arrows. Thus we obtain in a scientifically accurate manner the concept of forces with no focal point, but having a perimeter ...< We can also find an analogy to sun space in our sensory organs: If we look into the distance, things appear smaller the further they are away from us. It is not possible for me to clearly describe how my eyes are connected with my soul in the sun space, but I know that the laws of optics corresponds with the laws of the sun space: The nearer visible things come to me, the larger they become, the nearer things are to the center of my perception, also coming to my soul in the sun space, the more space is available for them. With reference to the concept of sun space I would also like to discuss the following verses from the first chapter of the Book of the Law: 6. Be thou Hadit, my secret centre, my heart & my tongue! 7. Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat. 8. The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in the Khabs. 9. Worship then the Khabs, and behold my light shed over you! Aiwass is the envoy of the passive, introverted part of Horus. His nature corresponds to the sun. Hadit is located completely in the sun or anti-space; likewise the Khabs, the house in which Hadit lives. The connection between our soul and our body exists in the Khu. The Khu is our light- or astral body. Steiner wrote in Die Geheimwissenschaft im Umriss (An Outline of the Secret Science) that all of our passions and feelings are located in the astral body. In the Secret Science Steiner writes further that this astral body penetrates a further body in us, which animates our physical body. The astral body, the Khu, also penetrates the life-body, which further penetrates our physical body. This life-body exists in an interrelationship between space and anti-space. It alternates between material and non-material existence. Since the Khu penetrates the life-body and this consists of an interplay between material and non-material, the Khu is always in direct contact with our flesh body and through our flesh body it can be influenced. The Khu has the proportion and nature of the Material, such that it is transitory. This is not so of the house of the soul and the soul itself. The house Khabs and its inhabitant Hadit are immortal. With the request >worship the Khabs<, Aiwass requires us to worship the eternal and therefore our internal, and to the things around us he counts not only our rough-material, but also our fine-material body. The space- and time-structures described here aim at our internal and holiest and finally pursue a single target: They are to help each human to carry out his free will. This free will rises from the spiritual world: Our higher self, our soul. Postscript 10. October 1999 Since September 18, 1999, I am again attending Emerson College and have the possibility of continuing discussion with Mrs. Whicher. In March, 2000, Olive turns 90 years old, health permitting. She has strong memory problems and did not recognize me at first. With obvious effort and after several discussions she remembered our meetings from 1990/91. Whicher read the above article about Projective Geometry in the Harris-Tarot in its corrected prototype form and confirmed the relevant facts. Today Olive describes the history of Projective Geometry in the Harris-Tarot somewhat differently: Around the year 1938 she became aquainted with Frieda Harris. Frieda's studio was very close to Regent Park and also very close to the Rudolf Steiner House. Olive remembers visiting Harris several times in her studio, which must have been on an upper floor, since she remembers stairs. Deviating from the 1990/91 version, Olive today tells me that she privately taught Harris in her studio during the time she worked on Crowley's Tarot. The difference from the first version is that in the earlier version Harris learned Projective Geometry from Adams' and Whicher's courses in the Rudolf Steiner House. I personally assume that both are the case. Whicher also remembers that Adams became friends with Harris and they were very impressed by her personality. Whicher acknowledged again that Adams called Harris "Diana", which refers to the goddess represented on the card "Art" in the Crowley Tarot. Olive told me that Harris had colored her hair red, which at that time must have been very special and unusual. Harris was a woman of liberal politics and had a very free-living, spirited and strong personality. Olive told me that she regretted when Harris left England for the rest of her life to spend her old age on a houseboat in Kashmir. Quite particularly, Whicher expressed her regret that Harris did not turn to Anthroposophy. In 1991 I requested permission from Whicher for me to publish an article about the connection between Projective Geometry taught in the Rudolf Steiner House and the Harris Tarot, with the help of some pictures from Whicher's "Sonnenraum" ("Sun Space"). After much hesitation Whicher gave me permission, with the reason being the freedom of information, as in Steiner's philosophy of the three-way arrangement of society (freedom in culture and religion, fraternity in economics and equality before the law). Of Thelema and Aleister Crowley, Whicher holds nothing good. It is completely incomprehensible to her why Harris did not find her way to Anthroposophy. At our last meeting, Whicher told me that it seemed to her as if Harris had been "under Crowley's spell", because she held to him so strongly. It caused Harris much grief that Crowley suffered so much due to asthma. Adams and Whicher both had an absolutely good opinion of Harris. Harris held absolutely to Crowley. Whicher considered each work with the person or the teachings of Aleister Crowley to be false and dangerous. She regards a connection between Anthroposophical and Thelemic philosophy to be a mistake. To clarify this, finally a quotation from our last discussion: "Forget everything that you know and read all of the books that Rudolf Steiner wrote!"   Posted by brian jonestown massacre on Thursday, November 05, 2009 - 14:04 [Reply to this]

	BlackieMaddie Scott Blackie	Transsexual Jesus sparks protests Jesus, Queen of Heaven portrays Christ as a transsexual About 300 protesters held a candlelit protest outside a Glasgow theatre over the staging of a play which portrays Jesus as a transsexual. The protest was held outside the Tron Theatre, where Jesus, Queen of Heaven - in which Christ is a transsexual woman - is being staged. It is part of the Glasgay! arts festival, a celebration of Scotland's gay, bi-sexual and transsexual culture. Festival organisers said it had not intended to incite or offend anyone. The Christian protesters gathered outside the theatre ahead of the opening night of the production on Tuesday. Jesus, Queen of Heaven, which runs until Saturday, is written and performed by transsexual playwright Jo Clifford. The demonstrators sang hymns and waved placards. One read: "Jesus, King of Kings, Not Queen of Heaven." Another said: "God: My Son Is Not A Pervert." Festival organisers described the banners as "fairly provocative" and said they could be viewed as inciting homophobia. Glasgay! producer Steven Thomson said: "Jesus Queen of Heaven is a literary work of fiction exploring the artist's own personal journey of faith as a transgendered person. "Glasgay! supports the right to freedom of expression and offers audiences a diverse view of LGBT life. "This work is not intended to incite or offend anyone of any belief system. However, we respect your right to disagree with that opinion." He added: "We welcome genuinely interested audience members who wish to understand the artistic intention behind this work." 'Christianity marginalised' Pastor Jack Bell, of the Zion Baptist Church in Glasgow, who took part in the protest, said: "We didn't threaten anyone going into the play or any of the cast members. "It was a peaceful protest with hymns and placards. "You can't blaspheme God and use freedom of speech as an excuse for that." He added: "True biblical Christianity is becoming marginalised through political correctness. "If this play had treated the prophet Mohammed in the same way there would have been a strong reaction from the Islamic community, but that just wouldn't happen." Glasgay! is described as "Scotland's annual celebration of queer culture" and is funded by the Scottish Arts Council, Event Scotland, Glasgow City Marketing Bureau and Glasgow City Council.   Posted by BlackieMaddie on Thursday, November 05, 2009 - 14:23 [Reply to this]

File-sharers could be jailed under proposed ACTA provisions Leaked details of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement being negotiated in secret by most of the world's largest economies suggest Internet file-sharers could be blocked from accessing the Internet if they are repeatedly accused of sharing copyrighted material, say media and digital-rights watchdogs. And the worst-case scenario could see popular Web sites like YouTube and Flickr shut down because of a provision in the treaty that would force them to monitor everything uploaded to the site for copyright violations. Internet law professor Michael Geist published details of "leaked" portions of the discussions on ACTA on his blog Tuesday, as a new round of ACTA negotiations began in Seoul, South Korea. The US, along with all the countries of the European Union as well as Japan, Canada, Australia and a handful of other countries, are involved in the negotiations. "The provisions would pave the way for a globalized three-strikes and you're out system," Geist blogged Wednesday, referring to a proposal from copyright holders to have Internet service providers cut off service to anyone accused at least three times of illegally sharing copyrighted material. "This means that your entire family could be denied [access] to the Internet -- and hence to civic participation, health information, education, communications, and their means of earning a living -- if one member is accused of copyright infringement, without access to a trial or counsel," blogged tech writer and digital-rights supporter Cory Doctorow. Doctorow also noted that another provision being proposed for the treaty would mean "that ISPs have to proactively police copyright on user-contributed material. This means that it will be impossible to run a service like Flickr or YouTube or Blogger, since hiring enough lawyers to ensure that the mountain of material uploaded every second isn't infringing will exceed any hope of profitability." And, as Geist noted in a follow-up article on Wednesday, the proposed treaty could end up seeing file-sharers jailed for sharing copyrighted material, even if they had no financial gain from the transaction. Geist wrote that the treaty, as currently proposed, would "extend criminal enforcement to both (1) cases of a commercial nature; and (2) cases involving significant willful copyright and trademark infringement even where there is no direct or indirect motivation of financial gain. In other words, non-commercial infringement could lead to criminal penalties." "The US government appears to be pushing for Three Strikes to be part of the new global IP enforcement regime which ACTA is intended to create -– despite the fact that it has been categorically rejected by the European Parliament and by national policymakers in several ACTA negotiating countries, and has never been proposed by US legislators," writes Gwen Hinze at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. ACTA negotiations were being held entirely in secret until this past May, when the Wikileaks Web site released a 2007 draft proposal. The Obama administration has resisted attempts to make the negotiations public, though it did make an exemption for a long list of senior executives at major corporations. In June, the administration announced it would continue the ACTA negotiations started under the previous administration.   Posted by brian jonestown massacre on Thursday, November 05, 2009 - 14:24 [Reply to this]
