MY NEW WEBSITE IS UP- CorpusCallosum.cc

Sub Rosa 4 can be downloaded at The Daily Grail [link] , the magazine should be published in print this summer. The topics include UFO and technology extraordinaire Jacques Vallee, Mary Magdalene, Skinwalker Ranch, Leary and Crowley, and cryptozoologist Loren Coleman. I think all of you would find great interest in it. If you can, it would be wonderful to make a donation.

Tonight I was lucky enough to have seen the advance showing of 'V for Vendetta'. This is one of the most important films ever. Sociopolitically and spiritually... 'tis absolutely sagacious.

I just finished sending off my low-residency graduate school applications this week. I'm applying to Union State & University in Montpelier Vermont, Goddard College in Plainfield Vermont, and the Massachusett College of Art's Fine Art Work Center in Boston/Provincetown. Next week I might also apply to Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

I also just recently found out that my "How to Make Amends?" ( [link] )has been accepted into the Society of Illustrators student competition. This is a pretty big deal for me because the SI is the most highly respected illustration competition there is and thus is great for an in illustrative resume. My artwork will be on display in the Society of Illustrators gallery in NYC through May.

As a prelude to this week's summary of this week's news, here's one of my favorite old poems NEPTUNE ENTELECHY, with its accompanying piece [link] .


Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds rising,
10 billion reflective satellite cells firing,
collective perspective hive breathing.
The occulted fire distilled in the sea of body,
tidal tug across the planes beneath solar wind induction.
Sunspots cultivate the brain’s constellation cryptogram Mandelbrot map,
betwixt molecular crystal lattice embryogenesis.
Narcotic gemstones dance on the rotating celestial chalice rim of our-glass.
Sands drip as gravity congeals the impedance that’s lead to understanding.
Double-bubbles fuse at the junction for communication conduction,
vibratory cerebro-chemical ejaculation.
Ethereal sparks toward the pulsating galactic core of perfect-ion.
The free and infinite ocean of bubbling fermented being coagulates,
and stares back from star-gate in the dew of the deep.
Alchemical harvest on zero-pointed waving backdrop of time-emittance.
Thunder gives the warning for quickening coming cyclone of orange.
It’s now mushrooming midnight and the clockwork’s trident is about to ring 13.
Ensuing meltdown into the marbleized wax matrix interface.
Quintessential alarm sounds from behind the sun dispelling the shadow-play.
Non-linear bloodline awakens to the gateway,
wherein the jewel within the lotus reveals who is Sirius,
and the flickering fetus goes nova.
Global vertebrae axis pole-shifts into ecliptic unity.
Critical mass compassion transmutates in illumination amidst resurrection.
Chronologic quantum joke to the cosmic yoke.
It’s a matter of time De-eMpTied.
POP! Creation ate itself.

WEEKLY REVIEW
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, released a video in which he showed his face and claimed that the Bush Administration had lied about its military victories. “America,” said Zarqawi, “will go out of Iraq, humiliated, defeated.” The United States announced that it would free 141 of the 490 “enemy combatants” at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba because they do not threaten U.S. security after all. In Dahab, Egypt, three bombings killed 30 people, and in Baquba, Iraq, about the same number of people died in fighting. President George W. Bush pointed out that not drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was depriving the United States of one million barrels of oil per day, and it was reported that Iraq’s oil production had dropped by one million barrels per day since the U.S. invasion. In New York City tens of thousands of people marched against the war in Iraq, and in Washington, D.C., five members of Congress, all Democrats, were arrested outside the Sudanese embassy for protesting the genocide in Darfur. It was revealed that in 2005 the FBI had, without court approval, obtained from bank and credit card companies and telephone and Internet companies information on 3,501 U.S. citizens and legal residents. Iran, under criticism for its nuclear program, accused the United States of using “illegitimate and open threats to use force against the Islamic Republic of Iran.” Scientists in Florida were working to improve a “brain port” device that will allow soldiers to perceive things through their tongues. New construction began at Ground Zero.
A Quebec family was offering a reward for their mother’s head, which had been hacked from her corpse a year ago. “Each morning,” said one family member, “when we get up, we ask ourselves: ‘Where is the head? Will it show up on our lawn one morning?’” Chinese bra producers were offering larger sizes to meet increased demand, China announced that it would ban heavy snorers from its army, and a Chinese man used eBay to buy an old MiG fighter jet to decorate his office. It was reported that lobbyists had once provided former (now imprisoned) Representative Randy “Duke” Cunningham with free limousine service, free access to hotel suites, and the services of prostitutes; it was also reported that the limousine service that was used to ferry the prostitutes had received a contract worth $21 million from the Department of Homeland Security. The Louisiana state senate approved a bill that bans abortion except when the procedure can save a woman’s life; an amendment to allow exceptions in the cases of women who have been raped or are victims of incest was defeated. It was reported that the Vatican might permit people with AIDS to use condoms, if they are married, although abstinence would still be preferred. A Vatican official also called on Catholics to boycott the “Da Vinci Code” movie. In Singapore an 18-year-old man, ashamed of his small penis, committed suicide by jumping from a building, and President Bush named Tony Snow, a Fox News host, as the new White House press secretary. The U.S. military, short of buglers who can play taps at military funerals, was waiting for an order of 700 automated $500 digital bugles. After 15,000 tries a California scientist was able to teach starlings some grammar.
A farmer in Brazil pleaded guilty to killing a 73-year-old nun; the farmer had been paid by two ranchers to shoot the nun after she attempted to stop the ranchers from clearing a section of rainforest. The Mexican senate passed a bill legalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana, opium, cocaine, and heroin; President Vicente Fox was expected to approve the bill. In Loreto, Mexico, a 17-year-old boy was killed at a horse race when he attempted to stop a horse from reaching the finish line by jumping in front of it, and in Denver, Colorado, a 17-year-old boy on his first bucking bronco ride was killed when the horse rolled on top of him. “It was,” said his mother, “his first and last ride.” A couple in Milford Township, Pennsylvania, were suing a veterinarian for faking the death of their dog and then giving the dog to someone else. A wheelchair-bound woman in Florida, who refused to put down a knife and a hammer, died after being tasered by policemen, and a Liverpool, England, man was sentenced to 100 hours of community service for getting drunk and singing “YMCA” on a flight from Florida to Manchester while his wife wept and comforted their three children. “He makes no excuses,” said the man’s lawyer, “for his loutish, idiotic behavior.” Jane Jacobs and John Kenneth Galbraith died. Twenty percent of U.S. teenagers admitted to huffing household products in order to get high, and Keith Richards fell out of a coconut tree.

It’s all in your head... you just have no idea how big your head is!

It is not their intention to destroy... Their intention is to feed for as long as possible on the tremendous energies generated by the evolutionary struggle. Their purpose, therefore, is to prevent man from discovering the worlds inside himself, to keep his attention directed outwards. What would man be like if he could destroy these vampires, or drive them away? The first result would certainly be a tremendous sense of mental relief, a vanishing oppression, a surge of energy and optimism. Then man's energies would turn inward. He would discover that he has many 'selves', and that his higher 'selves' are what his ancestors would have called gods.
Colin Wilson, The Mind Parasites

Exec #2: Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: People aren't wearing enough hats. Two: Matter is energy. In the universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this "soul" does not exist ab initio as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.

Exec #3: What was that about hats again?

Exec #2: Oh, Uh... people aren't wearing enough - Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life".

When a human imagines, he actually creates a form on the Astral or even on some higher plane; and this form is as real and objective to intelligent beings on that plane, as our earthly surroundings are to us.

"Time, space and knowledge are the most basic facets of human experience. They are the Being of our being as it manifests in this world. Space allows the world of objects to appear, time makes possible the sequence of events that gives order to our lives; knowledge gives meaning and significance to whatever appears or unfolds. Time and space are the ordinary stuff of existence, which ordinary knowledge aims to know."
(KNOWLEDGE OF TIME AND SPACE - Tarthang Tulku)

_The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whosoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.
Albert Einstein
