Many of d Asatru n other so called Pagan Believes r similar to my own but there is a Fundamental Difference. I am a Xotingor (Gothic Mystic) n as such Yule Tide, d Winter Solstice does not represent Fear, that d Sun will not rise again. It's Focus is not represent d Death n Rebirth of d Sun.
Our Sun is just one of countless other Suns in this Universe never Mind d Arguments about other Dimensions n other Paranormal Universes. Our Sun like our Squirrely Intellect Occults No-Thought, d first Stage to Xothood (Cosmic Consciousness, Enlightenment, Dharmakaya etc.).
True Power of d Universe is Hidden in d Darkness that gave our Sun, Planets, Moons etc. LIFE. "Seeing the Light" actually blinds us to a greater Reality. “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” --Jung 1945 rr23aee
In some legends, Odin bestowed gifts at Yuletide upon his people, riding a magical flying horse across the sky. This legend may have combined with that of St. Nicholas to create the modern Santa Claus.
Winter Solstice represents for me, d longest Darkness of d Year, which allows d Spirit of d Universe to impregnate d Earth w Xothood. When we Ritually Participate in this we leave our selves open to be impregnated w d Seed of XotHood. Repeated Yule Rituals waters a Quickening of our XotHood. --Tiwaz 201012202205 rr05eoh

Reading duum Book, Fussell's POETIC METER AND POETIC FORM, Ik look up thru dum Moonbean Cafe Window, thru unem tangle dus Phone Lines, high above perched on top dus unem Lamp Post, Ik see uunen Pigeon alone.
Ik look back to dum Page "pleasures of meter are essentially physical and as intimately connected with the rhythmic quality of man's total experience as the similarity alternating and recurring phenomena of breathing, walking, or lovemaking." p6
Ik look back contemplatively to duum Pigeon as duum Wind ruffles uut's grey Feathers. Ik realize dun Pigeon is not alone. Ut is one with duum Wind, with d Cycles dus Day n Night, Summer n Winter. Birds can migrate using dum Sun, Stars n Earths Magnetic Field. It is in Harmony w dum Universe.
What is out des Harmony, that PROJECTS Aloness, that creates Heidegger's Fallness, is mis Mind. When Descartes said 'I THINK, THEREFORE I AM' he did not give aenen new Ground for Philosophy but revealed daen prehistoric Ground for Separation. Before Man's Hi-story, when we sat around Campfires surrounded by Darkness, it was not "the Dark Side" outside dum Circle that created Fear, Hatred, Aloneness but daem fiery Mind in dam Center das dam Circle, w it's continues squirrely Chatter, thaet separated us from dom Ground dos our TOBE.
First aner Seperation das Inner n das Outer was created. Dar Inner was dan Campfire das Mind. Dur Outer now became dun "Dark Side" which was really don Ground dos our ToBe. Im Abraham Religious Terms we became separated from God. God became dan Campfire Light, anen BURNING BUSH, anem Image das our Ego. Dor True God, dor ALL ONENESS became dun Evil dus Darkness. Soon dar Mind expanded "Inner-Outer" creating aenem Matrix, daes Time n Space. Daer Mind imposed Time n Space into dom World creating daem Illusion daes Separation n Death.
"The ticking of a clock constitutes an unvaried succession of regular sounds: when no one is listening to a clock, it goes tick, tick, tick, tick all day long. But let a human ear approach, and the clock goes tick, tock, tick tock, and the ticking now "becomes" rhythmical because the listening ear wants it to be." p18 And now EEOk realize more deeply that even dar Harmony n Rhythm that Ik projected on dum Pigeon is aner Illusion!
ONCE, Ik realize mos Immortality, mos ALL-ONENESS, then Aloness - Company, being loved - being hated, Life-Death become delights, silent Clouds passing in front dus Moon, all to be contemplated in Bliss n Joy.

It was fifty years ago today...
Published: 16 Aug 10 17:53 CET
The Beatles might have hailed from Liverpool, but the band that changed the world got its big break in Hamburg. David Sharp traces the steps of the Fab Four fifty years later.
When John Lennon was once asked what it was like growing up in Liverpool, he quipped: "I didn't grow up in Liverpool. I grew up in Hamburg."
That’s because though The Beatles formed in Liverpool, they learned their licks in the backstreet clubs of the gritty northern German port city.
...
When the Beatles rolled into the shabby dockland neighbourhood of St Pauli in a small van early in the morning of August 17, 1960, Hamburg’s post-war resurgence was just beginning.
That same night, the then Fab Five of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe, a raggle-taggle gang of leather-jacketed, pompadoured Scousers played their first gig at the Indra, a self-styled ‘music and vaudeville’ club. This tiny venue, at Große Freiheit 64, is still going strong today.
Fuelled by a heady mix of youthful enthusiasm, raw talent and Preludin pills, the nascent Beatles hurtled through an eclectic assortment of rock, pop, and R & B covers at high volume and breakneck speed. The boys bunked in a windowless cell behind the screen of a local cinema, the now defunct Bambi Kino, at nearby Paul-Roosen Strasse 33.
After two months of incessant gigging at the Indra, five hours a night for 30 marks each, owner Bruno Koschmider promoted The Beatles to his flagship club, the Kaiserkeller, a short stroll down Große Freiheit towards the neon lights of the Reeperbahn.
The band shared the bill with rival Liverpool group, Rory Storm & the Hurricanes, whose drummer happened to be Ringo Starr. ...
A broken bottle’s throw away is the site of the Star Club (Große Freiheit 39), where The Beatles shared the bill with fellow Liverpudlians Gerry & the Pacemakers and big-name US acts like Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard. It went up in smoke in 1983 and only a gravestone-shaped plaque remains etched with the names of other Star Club legends such as Gene Vincent and Jimi Hendrix.
Prior to their stint at the famous Star Club the fledgling Beatles had graduated, in the words of McCartney to “the big club where we aspired to go,” The Top Ten, situated in a basement in the heart of the Reeperbahn (#136). Formerly the Hippodrome, a subterranean circus, today a disco, it was here the band really found their feet with an echo-laden, reverb-friendly sound system, perfect for The Beatles’ raucous performances, and slightly less dingy sleeping arrangements, in an attic above the club itself.
...
Round the corner is Paul Hundertmark’s Western Store where the Beatles assembled their trademark Hamburg look: cowboy boots, drainpipe jeans and Gene Vincent-style leather jackets. You can still go and get yourself kitted out in Beatles clobber at Paul’s store at Hundertmark 9. Then head for Wohlwillstrasse 22 and re-create the publicity shot taken by local snapper Jürgen Vollmer, who became a fast friend of the band, in 1960. John Lennon posed in the doorway of Jäger-Passage 1 as three blurry figures walked past him in the foreground. Those figures are McCartney, Harrison and Sutcliffe. The photograph was unearthed years later and became the iconic front cover of Lennon’s 1975 Rock ‘n’ Roll album.
When The Beatles returned to Hamburg in April1962 for their residency at the Star Club they were broken the news of bass player Stu Sutcliffe’s tragic premature death from an aneurysm. By the time of their second stint in November, Ringo Starr had become the group’s drummer, and the, now officially, Fab Four were big enough to warrant actual hotel rooms; first at the Germania (Detlev-Bremer-Strasse 8) and then at the Pacific (Neuer Pferdemarkt 30). Both hotels are still running and are a short stroll away from Heiligengeistfeld (Holy Ghost Field) where Astrid Kircherr, Sutcliffe’s German girlfriend, took the famous fairground photos at the Hamburger Dom that launched the new image she’d inspired them to adopt: collarless jackets and mop top haircuts.
...
John Lennon once bought a pig here, christened it Bruno after his boss at the Kaiserkeller, and chased it round the market causing such a commotion that someone called the cops. This time they weren’t arrested, or deported, but The Beatles’ love affair with Hamburg was in its final year anyway. They got back to where they once belonged, Liverpool, and recorded their first single, “Love Me Do.” The rest is history.

When Uuch was at Seneca College in duum 1970's AAch wanted to b onem Mystic. IIch was taught anti-Racism n incorporated that into mos Mysticism. Now A-Ech realize more fully what AAch was "taught" was not how to b more tolerant more compasionat but how to b a self-righteous Racist. IIch was taught what to think but not how to think. It has been said that Language is don Garment dos Soul. When an awesome Thinker like Martin Heidegger, demonized by dum "Good Guys", challenges us to reawaken dom Importance dos Meaning dos "is", daer Education dos Racism reveals itself as Victor's Second World War Propaganda. Language structures Thought. When we study Language, especially Etymology we learn how to program n de-program our Thinking. How can we tell if we r programed against our true Spiritual Will when we do not even appreciate don Meaning dos "is"! Noam Chomsky has revealed daen Injustice daes "worthy victims" n "unworthy victims". Dur Victors r protected by anti-racist Laws but dur Vanquished r punished just like in dam Dark Ages when Christians where Instruments dos dom "True" God n dur Vanquished where Evil to b tortured n burned at dum Stake. Great Mystics have unen History das being crucified by Sociopaths.
There can b no Spiritual Evolution without Political Revolution.

z 10 Peacock "When that marvellous beauty of color and form and light appears, then you have a feeling of things unfolding. [is this why I like d Term "Spiritual Unfolding"] ..The spring and the sunrise. ... used as a symbol of resurrection ... [I would also ad that it can become d Symbol of d Self, a Mandela in d Individuation Process] In the symbolism of the East the peacock also plays a certain role, but more unfavourable. There, it is a proud Luciferian kind of a bird, self-produced and disobedient to the creator of things. In the Kurd tribes there were so-called devil-worshipprs who worshipped the peacock as their symbol of creative power. ... "
zz This supports d Arguement that we have to be very careful when we take on Symbolic Meaning from one Culture n impose it's Symbolic Meaning on another. This is one of d great Failings of Comparetive Religious Studies n d New Age Movement that can lead a naive Follower into a Spiritual Psychosis & Spiritual Sociopathology. In d Hands of Spiritual Colonialists this can be used as a Tool to subjugated d Targeted Group to be subconsciously Colonized.
z 14 One Fundamental Difference between Jung n Freud in my Opinion is that Jung believed that Dreams where a Product of a Transcending Healer n not a Product of a Sexually Neurotic Animal that needed to be tamed. Jung therefore believed d Doctor was within while Freud believed he was d Doctor w d Power of Life n Death. This is one of d Reasons i speculate that Psychoanalysis became an Instrument of State Power.
This Argument is supported by Masson's The Assault on Truth http://www.jeffreymasson.com/other-publications/assault-on-truth.html "In 1895, Sigmund Freud formulated what was perhaps his most profound theory: that emotional disturbances in adults stem from actual early traumatic experiences, the knowledge of which has been repressed. But Freud eventually renounced this theory in favor of a new view, that his women patients had "fantasized" their early memories of rape and seduction - a view on which the whole budding science of psychoanalysis would be based."
If U r a Rebel or believe U r a Vampire d Jungian will more likely see this as a Transcending Archetype while d Freudian is more likely to lock U up in a Mental Institute n then lobotomize U w Electric Shock Treatments until U r NORMAL for State Consumption!. --Jung's Visions c1976 p14
z 15 "We can b God knows where in our consciousness, on top of Mount Everest in our intuition -- n in our unconscious, not even out of d cradle."
z 16 "When s plant grows up it is wise enough to develop leaves on both sides,"
Going over some Notes that I made in Jungs’s Kundalini Book awhile ago, it becomes more apparent that what I Experience and what they describe from “original texts” is d same Problem that I have between Mysticism of Christianity based on Experiential Reality n d Religion of Christianity based on Texts. St John d Gospel talks about “In the beginning was the Word” (Jn. 1:1) but in my Experience “In d Beginning was d Experience”. Thoughts based on Texts are open to deceiving Realities and oppressive Matrixes. Texts can be Preached, Bought and Sold but not Experiences. Texts and Spiritual Leaders have their Value in bringing ONE to d Water of Possibilities but it is d ONE who awakens to their own Infinite Possibilities that must be d Sovereign Core of any Spiritual Discipline. Every Being has THE Immanent Right to that Spiritual Awakening! --TIWAZ 200911151252
I have found MSM very helpful in my life and I use it on a regular basis. When I was around forty years old I started getting knee and arthritis problems. I started using MSM and not only did my knee and arthritis problems go away my allergy of twenty years also went away. Here is some Sites to check out.
A master should not speak anything that is not deeply rooted in his mind, in his experience; that he has not known, he should not speak. He should only speak that which he has known, for which he can stand the witness, for which he can say, 'I am the witness' – only that.”
(pp. 34, Rajneesh's Vedanta, c1978 ISBN 0880501669)
“My emphasis is not on the approach; my emphasis is on the disciple. … Hinduism cannot be a world religion, Buddhism cannot e a world religion. Up till now there exists no religion which can be a world religion, because every religion chooses one approach.” (rr17ae, rr09ae)
“Whatsoever I am saying can be a world-comprehensive thing, because I don't choose any approach. All approaches lead to the same goal.” I have not a fixed approach. When a different type of person comes to me, I immediately change my approach. I always adjusts to the person. I never try the reverse. I never try to adjust the person with an approach. To me that looks absurd. (rr17ae, rr09ae)
“I don't make ready-made clothes for you and then say, 'Cut your legs a little because the dress …' I always cut the dress immediately if I feel it doesn't suit you. The dress is wrong, you are never wrong.” (rr17ae, rr09ae)
(Rajneesh's Vedanta, (Side Jackets) c1978 ISBN 0880501669)
“Ordinarily we use words without moving with them – even such beautiful words as 'love.' We go on saying to people, 'I love you,' not meaning it at all. You may not even be aware of what you are saying. If you were aware, you would be very guarded. How can you say such a sacred word, 'love', so easily? Or go on saying, 'I love my car, I love my dog, I love my wife.' You can love anything – even chocolate, ice-cream. Your love is not rooted any-where; you are not moving in it. How can a man love ice-cream? And if you can love ice-cream, then whenever you say 'I love' it is not reliable. Then don't say 'I love' to any person, because no person would like to become like ice-cream or chocolate.” (rr01aei)
But we go on using words, not to express something, but on the contrary, to hide something. Just watch: when you say to someone, 'I love you,' you may be just hiding hate. It was so bubbling you were afraid the other may come to know it, immediately you have to hide it: you say, 'I love you.' This must be some type of screen, some form of hiding, suppression.” (rr01aei)
(35, Rajneesh's Vedanta, c1978 ISBN 0880501669)
