Johnny Rivers` REALIZATION from 1968. His voice is what makes his music. Good feelings from hearing him sing his songs. Good songs, good arrangements too. The great one on this album is SUMMER RAIN which was a hit single. A song about the summer of `67 and how "everybody kept on playin` Sgt. Pepper`s Lonely Hearts Club Band". He is mostly known for top 40 hit singles which were always a part of growing up for me and enjoying hearing his songs on the AM radio. They were good songs that were always a pleasure to hear and not one of the ones that made you change the station. This album is not a psychedelic album but Johnny`s way of embracing the psychedelic era. A great original, "Going Back To Big Sur." A few great covers, A Whiter Shade of Pale and Dylan`s Positively 4th Street. Dylan has said in his book "Chronicles: Volume One" that he preferred Johnny Rivers' version of "Positively 4th Street" to his own recording of the song.

What is Self-realization (Atma-sakshatkar)? It is to know 'who am I?' Are you the name given to you? No, you are a Pure Soul.

Self-realization is to be aware of the Soul. Such a state of awareness will be a gradual development. No suffering / negativity would touch you when you are totally aware of the Soul. Atma-sakshatkar is to keep observing the non-self part, the mind-body-speech-intellect, and observe what they are doing. Watch this video to find out more about what 'Atma-sakshatkar' is exactly.

Great details here as well.

With latest figures showing that Aussies now spend more on their pets than on foreign aid - a whopping 2.3 billion dollars per year - I’ve been reconsidering the significants of “pet yoga.”

Fascination with pets is something close to my heart.

My mother had the first Waimaraners (a German gun dog especially bread for hunting large game) in New Zealand, and I can’t remember how many litters of super cute silver-grey colored puppies came and went during my childhood.

It wasn’t until I was in my early 20s that I acquired my own dog, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy named Terry because of the white “T” on his black chest, who was gifted to me by a friend. He became a great companion who I took everywhere.

Although friendly to humans he didn’t like other dogs though, and the bigger they were the more he didn’t like them. Hence I spent a lot of time breaking up dog fights and taking Terry to the vet.

After lots of vet bills and arbitration with other dog owners I realized that Terry needed training, so I bought a dog training video and we went at it.

At first neither of us liked such a stiff relationship, but gradually we became accustomed to our new mode of interacting and I noticed that, surprisingly, we were both enjoying it!

As time went by and Terry became more obedient, I could see that he was actually happier as a trained dog than a wild one (and so was I!).

Controlling our senses, a preliminary purpose of the yoga system, is a similar story.

Our senses want to run wild disturbing us and them, so the yoga system gives us the technology to gradually master our senses to serve our highest purpose of self realization.

Initially this can seem difficult and unnatural because our senses are habituated to pushing us around, but as they are gradually tamed, they, and we, become refreshingly peaceful and happy.

In Bhagavad Gita, Krishna warns the yogi not to try to artificially repress the untrained senses, but rather to engage them in the higher activities of Bhakti Yoga, or sense activity for the pleasure of the Supreme.

Such dynamic nonmaterial engagements automatically control the senses through I higher experience, due to direct contact with the source of all pleasure.

Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, Arizona. 2 action sampler photos taken 1 right after the other while on an electric walkway. I love airports.

The walkways going to the main parts of the airport had the silver metal diagrams of different planes on the windows that looked over the runways. The black lines from the first photo are from those metal planes. I thought it was a really cool way of decorating =)

meaning is sometimes hard to spot

it begins with the flickering of cigarettes, in the darkness of a dorm room, somewhere in the suffocated mid-west

and if this is real then i was mistaken, and if there is truth then why can't we find it?

beauty comes to those who have been waiting for something bigger than themselves

this is the sound of the hopeless kids as they scream from the basements of the houses of their parents

and this is the sound of the hopeless ones as they stare down at their books

and realize they have been lied to

but if this is real then I was mistaken, and the vision fades as quickly as it came

consistency like that which I have craved, is that people change so unexpectedly

realization finds you in a drunken airport, some planes depart and others never arrived

so with this in mind I don't plan on waiting, if its time to leave and break these old ties

without something else this vision is fading, but until its gone the pain will make us try

but this is the hope I have been searching for

as the wings catch the sunlight of this cold Nebraska skyline

this is the dream I am dying in

I will wake to find tomorrow, be content without perfection

but if this is real then I was mistaken, and if the vision is gone then I was not aware

Führungen am Campus WU

University of the Future

Internationalism, innovation, diversity – the new Campus WU is the concrete realization of WU’s vision for a modern university. The fundamental principles of the new architecture reflect the values and ideas we cherish at WU.

As a public institution, WU has lived up to its responsibility of building its new campus in an economical, ecological, and socially sustainable manner. WU’s decision to locate the new campus in Vienna’s second district will redefine this area and transform it into an educational hub. We have not only constructed new buildings, but in the process we have also given concrete realization to our ideas of what the university of the future should look like. The new campus is more than just a place for academic research and teaching and learning practical skills; it is also designed to create a new space for social, cultural, and political life.

The imposing Library & Learning Center (LC), designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is a testament to the central importance of research and teaching at WU. The Library & Learning Center is surrounded by five building complexes, including the Teaching Center, which houses most of WU’s auditoriums. The Teaching Center is intended mainly for bachelor degree students, while the master degree programs are taught primarily in the individual Department buildings. The Executive Academy building is the home of continuing education and life-long learning programs. In this way, the various buildings and their functions reflect the three tiers of teaching and learning represented by the Bologna Process.

WU’s Department-based organizational structure was also a contributing factor. In the past, the various Institutes that make up the Departments were scattered across different locations. Now they have been brought together in four Department buildings, which will make life much easier for both students and faculty.

These are not the only improvements the new campus has to offer: All rooms have natural light, and the auditoriums feature state-of-the-art teaching equipment, including digital whiteboards. There are 3,000 student workplaces, three times as many as in the old buildings in Vienna’s ninth district. These workplaces are located not only in the dedicated self-study areas, but also in project rooms that can be booked by teaching staff and students alike. They cater to different needs by providing quiet spots for focused academic work as well as opportunities for work on group projects in communicationfriendly study areas.

The top priority in planning the new campus was to create an environment for WU students and staff that is conducive to productive work and communication.

Not only the buildings themselves, but also the surrounding grounds offer plenty of opportunities for communication and meeting people. 55,000 m² of Campus WU’s total 100,000 m² of floor and surface area is open, publicly accessible space. Fences or barriers would contradict our vision of an open campus.

Visitors and area residents are more than welcome at Campus WU. The campus offers not only food for thought, but also restaurants, cafés, and shops, all in a stimulating architectural environment.

As different as they may look, however, the buildings are all based on the same overall technical concept: the building infrastructure is standardized in terms of construction, energy supply, ventilation, and sanitary facilities. The entire campus has been designed in accordance with “green building” principles. Much of the required energy is obtained using geothermal energy from groundwater.

Another key feature of Campus WU is barrier-free accessibility. All auditoriums are specially equipped for people with disabilities, all areas are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and the campus also features a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.

We have not only made sure to comply with all relevant legal guidelines, but we have also drawn on experience gained from best practice examples. WU aims to play a pioneering role – in all respects.

on realization and time

we concluded part 3 by comprehending that any primitive alter-universe has an ‘elementary moment’ - a pattern which governs how its constituent differentials extend and understand each other.

we also comprehended that at the ‘moment of realization’, each is real as the auto-understanding of the other.

in other words, by being constitutionally nothing but a differential extending of the other, each realizes its own exteriority as a spacing from the other. in this way each understands space.

our task is now to show how the constituent differentials understand time - as progressive reiterations of the moment of realization - as moments of presence.

saturday 21st february 2015

elementary moment:

the pattern of differential extending of an alter-universe.

(graphic)

moment of realization:

the differentials realize their pattern, becoming spatially real for each other.

(graphic)

first moment of presence:

(auto-reiteration of the moment of realization)

the beginning of time for a spatial alter-universe,

for which each presents itself for the first moment of time

to the other as the other

but - so

each differential auto-understands as a spatiality-with the other (by extending constitutionally as the other) but pure singleness extends instantaneously, so the other which the one is spatially real as, is already spatially real as its ownmost other ...which is the one.

in other words, for a moment of presence in a violet-red, two-fold alter-universe, violet is real as that which red is already real as - which is violet. (and the same is true for red-violet) this is what we mean by the instantaneous symmetrical entanglement of pure singleness; and although a moment of time seems to pass for red and violet as an accumulative alternation of their spatial realities, this moment is only how each understands and realizes the presence of the other

pure singleness does not extend spatio-temporally, and is not effected. hence their entanglement extends into itself instantaneously.

sunday 22nd february 2015

eight moments of a violet-red alter-universe.

elementary :

violet red

realizing :

violet is (real as red) but red is already (real as violet)

red is (real as violet) but violet is already (real as red)

first present:

so (real as red) is presently (real as (real as violet))

so (real as violet) is presently (real as (real as red))

second present:

but (real as violet) is already (real as (real as red)) so (real as (real as violet)) is presently (real as (real as (real as red)))

but (real as red) is already (real as (real as violet)) so (real as (real as red)) is presently (real as (real as (real as violet)))

third present:

but (real as (real as red)) is already (real as (real as (real as violet))) so (real as(real as (real as red)) is presently (real as(real as (real as (real as violet)))

but (real as(real as violet))

is already (real as(real as (real as red)))so (real as (real as (real as violet))) is presently (real as(real as (real as (real as red)))

to abbreviate the rest…

fourth present:

but (((violet))) is already ((((red)))) so ((((violet)))) is presently (((((red)))))

but (((red))) is already ((((violet)))) so ((((red)))) is presently (((((violet)))))

fifth present:

but ((((red)))) is already (((((violet))))) so (((((red))))) is presently ((((((violet))))))

but ((((violet)))) is already (((((red))))) so (((((violet))))) is presently ((((((red))))))

sixth, seventh, etc., red and violet continue accumulating the momentary spatial realities of each other as the time of their alter-universe.

Realization. Guilt. Self-loathing. Regret.

Taken from a beautiful garden (Self Realization Fellowship Hermitage & Meditation Garden) above the cliffs at Encinitas. The garden is open to the public and is a must see if in the San Diego area.

Yangleshö cave

We the people are but the puppets of our needs and whims. We worship god for whatever he gave us and for the ability he bestowed us with.

The image above depicts an event when the god is giving a strong punch to the person who is involved in the immersion. He is being pulled up by the almighty for the filth he is spreading in the river.

We should stop spreading filth here and there and worship god so that we attain peace and prosperity. This should not be done at the cost of many lives who unknowingly suffer from the dirt caused by the people.

Disclaimer: I have not tried to hurt anyone's religious sentiment. I have just endeavored to convey a message (mentioned above)

"I was ill with cancer and had lot of fear. After attending the Self realization ceremony, felt really good. At times of fear, an internal voice came saying that you are a pure Soul.The illness is still not cured completely but i am not affected by anything as much as before. I am so grateful that this light of Pure soul within me acquired through Self-Realization has helped a lot.

Originally built to support the trading of ‘pieces’ of cloth, it has been a meeting point of Halifax’s commercial, civic and cultural life for almost 250 years. In an ambitious and exciting new chapter, The Piece Hall has been reimagined as a new cultural and commercial centre. The Piece Hall has recently undergone a £19 million conservation and transformation programme.

I just came to the realization that skiing is just not my thing. Some people may be experts. I am not one of them. I wish, but I don't think I will.

Just the thought of having two uncontrollable long sticks attached to my legs is scary. Maybe Snowboarding. I should try that on my next trip there.

But I would love to learn cross country skiing - if only to get to Glacier Point and witness a sunset.

So that is why when I went to Badger Pass when it opened for the season right after fresh snowfall, I opted not to ski and instead went around shooting photographs. Not only was I trying to shoot some amazing cloud formations, I was looking keenly at the groomed tracks of the snowcat and patterns left by skiers above.

I loved the swishy patterns formed by skiers on a rather steep slope and was changing my lens to shoot it when a group of skiers crossed the path leading to other unwanted trails.

So I did the best I could

It's been weird...

Totally weird.

Things have been pretty much slow this time around.

Waiting for winter break to get over very soon.

But i lie down realizing so many things.. Its the phase that has turned on to me..

But hoping for better time ahead..

A beautiful place! I enjoyed a lovely afternoon here walking through their gardens, enjoying the amazing view, and meditating for a little while in their lovely chapel.

I was able to get extremely close to a hummingbird for the first time. A lady who frequents the Lake Shrine told me while I was chatting with her that there is a legend around the Shrine that if a hummingbird shows himself to you it is the Master Paramahansa Yogananda. I saw the same bird there 3 times during my short visit. He seemed to be following me around!

I felt so at peace and happy here!

The Lake Shrine Temple is located a quarter mile from the end of Sunset off the Pacific Coast Highway. It is a serene 10-acre spiritual sanctuary which surrounds a spring-fed lake filled with swans, ducks and koi. The grounds beneath the Self-Realization Fellowship temple recognizes all the religions of the world and promotes peace and fellowship among all men. Most prominent is a memorial containing some of the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi.
