Some funny things

I came across two really funny things recently. One is Not Damien Hirst's blog (http://hirstdamien.blogspot.com/)


Thoughts on Eternal Life by Someone Living a Mundane Life in a Tiny Flat
Description: "A physical presence of a not too typically looking ladybug which I found dead in my room a few days back and remembered that I probably saw it perfectly alive a few days before that when I even wondered what was a ladybug doing in my room and how did she got inside it since I mostly keep my windows closed and I don't have any flowers on a white plastic windowsill" on a photograph
Dimensions: 10 x 15 cm
Price: 1€

...And the other is...

Extra Transmissions

The first performance of Transmissions from Deep Space is nearing. Be prepared to learn about your origins!

------

The actual rulers, or directors, of a world ready for light and life are the Material Son and Daughter, the Planetary Adam and Eve. The finaliters are invisible, as also is the Prince-Sovereign except when in the Morontia temple. The actual and literal heads of the planetary regime are therefore the Material Sun and Daughter. It is the knowledge of these arrangements that has given prestige to the idea of kings and queens throughout the universe realms. Kings and queens are a great success under these ideal circumstances, when a world can command such high personalities to act in behalf of still higher but invisible rulers.

When such an era is attained on your world, no doubt Machivena Melchizedek, now the viceregent Planetary prince of Urantia, will occupy the seat of the Planetary Sovereign; and it has long been conjectured on the headquarter world that he will be accompanied by a son and daughter of the Urantia - Adam and Eve who are now held on Edentia as wards of the Most Highs of Norlatiadek. The children of Adam might also serve on Urantia in association with the Melchizedek-Sovereign since they were deprived of procreative powers almost 37,000 years ago at the time they gave up their material bodies on Urantia in preparation for transit to Edentia.

The Dogon tribe and Sirius

The Dogon are a West African tribe who have known about, and worshipped, Sirius A and its twin the invisible star Sirius B, for the past 5,000 years. They are have also been aware of the planets circle the sun in elliptical orbits, the four moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.
They say that Sirius B is immensely heavy, invisible, very small, yet extremely powerful. Their understanding of the two stars' orbits coincides exactly with modern astronomical findings, yet was arrived at thousands of years before it was scientifically proven. They also claim that a third star Emme Ya - Sorghum Female - exists in the Sirius system. Larger and lighter than Sirius B, this star revolves around Sirius A as well.

The Dogon also believe that approximately 5,000 years ago, Amphibious Gods, called Nommo, came to Earth in three legged space ships from the Sirius Star System. They have described perfectly the DNA pattern made by this elliptical orbit created by the two stars as they rotate around each other. They believe Sirius to be the axis of the universe, and from it all matter and all souls are produced in a great spiral motion.

Robert K. G. Temple (born in the U.S. in 1945) is an American author best known for his controversial book, The Sirius Mystery (1976; though Temple began writing it in 1967) which presents the idea that the Dogon people preserve the tradition of contact with intelligent extraterrestrial beings from the Sirius star-system. His writings on the Dogon are based on an interpretation of the work of ethnographers, Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen.[1]
Temple attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where in 1965 he received a degree in Oriental Studies and Sanskrit. He was a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and an occasional broadcaster with the BBC.
Other books by Temple include The Genius of China and The Crystal Sun. He has also written several articles for Time-Life, and has contributed to journals such as New Scientist and The Poetry Review.

Outside the dining room window

...and lo, it has come to pass...

For it was foretold that upon the third month a bird of prey shall watch over you through the night...

interAKtiv/ sterEo

I just finished putting together a recording of the piece Heather Frasch wrote for us last year. There are a lot of interesting challenges with this work, and every time I break it open I find more problems that I should have dealt with more completely.

The piece almost suggests the possibility of a continuous experimental collaboration where a new performance of the piece could build off of the discoveries of the previous interpretations.
