Life does not go on
(A late realization from Memorial Day)
It is not true that life goes on. People keep saying it like it's true, but it's not. When someone dies on you, your life, as you knew it, ends. Your family is still yours, but it's different. Your parents are different; the order in which you are seated around the dinner table is different, the way you remember that trip to Greece, with the funny photo album that turned into a memorial album.
It is not true that life goes on. People ask you a simple question like "how are you?", and you know they mean to say "we know" or "we're here for you". Whenever you are sad everyone is there to cheer you up and there is no way to tell them that you don't want a support group, but rather to be left alone for an hour under the blanket.
It is not true that life goes on. Even you are no longer the way you were. You are the one who has lost someone. When you see "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" on TV you remember only with whom you saw it first, back then, at the old Esther Movie Theatre, that has since been brought down. When you laugh, they say that you overcame. If you go away for more than two weeks they say you ran away.
It is not true that life goes on. Even your past is re-edited, every time you tell that story of how you took the bus to Bloomfield Stadium to see the derby, you contemplate if you want to call him "my brother", or "my late brother", or "my brother may he rest in peace". Sometimes you just take him out of the story completely, to avoid the embarrassment from everyone. Every so often you meet someone who's been abroad for a long time, and when he asks how "he" is doing, you answer that he is no longer with us, and of course, in the end you need to comfort him and say that life goes on. But it doesn't.
It is not true that life goes on. It stops, and starts all over again. Differently.

I've taken the liberty to translate this passage written by Yair Lapid several years ago.
He said it better then I ever could... I hope he wouldn't mind.
The video introduces us to Atma Gnani Pujya Deepakbhai who attained Self Realization from Dada Bhagwan at the age of 17 years.

The ultimate goal of human life should be to achieve liberation which is possible after Self Realization that is knowing ‘Who am I’ and for realization an Enlightened person is needed. If you do not get the opportunity of Self Realization then use your mind, body and speech to help others. If you give happiness, then you get happiness.

CAMPUS - Prof. Han Slawik Architect
Principles for the realization of the temporary project 'Campus' - with a life of 5 years - were:
· Mont table> removable> remo table
· Use of containers
· Use of industrially manufactured products
· Reuse of building elements
· Experiments in function space and construction
Reflected these essential ideas in the realized object:
· Building elements are fully equipped with demountable connections
· Modular design with seven shipping containers 20 ft (6 m)
· Standard products: concrete slabs (Stelcon) for foundation, kasgevelsysteem for the greenhouse-like gap
· Formwork girders as supports between the containers, scrap wood floors
· Dealing with limited dimensions of containers, Space spiral staircase with a crooked pole
Experiences with the use of the object:
· Mounted vertically containers give additional problems in connections and seals
· Second components are labor intensive and maintenance
De Realiteit, Almere NL - On the south bank of the Noorderplassen in Almere is situated “De Realiteit” (The Reality). An unusual name for a street. Seventeen winning designs of the Second Competition of “De Fantasie” (The Fantasy) were built here in 1986. A year earlier the foundation organized "Fantasy" a design entitled "Temporary Housing". The prizes consisted of land, plots of approximately 20x20 m, where the winners, 17 could realize their ideas. By their nature offered the opportunity to contest the freest design, especially as the building codes did not have to be observed. Concepts such as removable, repositionable, limited life were central. The decommissioning of the building regulations meant that the awarded works were to be considered temporary. The participants knew in advance that the normal funding, namely the mortgage, was not available because of the transitory character. Nevertheless today (after 27 years) the houses are still present and inhabited and most are in good condition.

Towards the end of the Korean War, the USAF came to the realization that their transport fleet was becoming obsolete. The C-46 Commandos and C-47 Skytrains in service were no longer adequate, while the C-119 Flying Boxcar was having difficulties. In 1951, the USAF issued a requirement for a new tactical transport, an aircraft that would need to carry at least 72 passengers, be capable of dropping paratroopers, and have a ramp for loading vehicles directly into the cargo compartment. Moreover, it must be a “clean sheet” design, not a conversion from an existing airliner, and the USAF preferred it be a turboprop design. Five companies submitted designs, and six months later the USAF chose Lockheed’s L-402 design—over the misgivings of Lockheed’s chief designer, Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, who warned that the L-402 would destroy the company. Little was Johnson to know that, fifty years later, the L-402—designated C-130 Hercules by the USAF—would still be in production, and one out of only five aircraft to have over 50 years of service with the original purchaser.
The C-130 was designed to give mostly unfettered access to a large cargo compartment—the ramp forms an integral part of the rear fuselage, the wing is mounted above the fuselage, and the landing gear is carried in sponsons attached to the fuselage itself, while the fuselage has a circular design to maximize loading potential. The high wing also gives the C-130 good lift, especially in “high and hot” situations. The Allison T56 turboprop was designed specifically for the Hercules, and has gone on to become one of the most successful turboprop designs in history.
After two YC-130 prototypes, the Hercules went into production as the C-130A in 1956, to be superseded by the improved C-130B in 1959. The latter became the baseline Hercules variant: C-130As had three-blade propellers and a rounded “Roman” nose, while the B introduced the more familiar, longer radar nose and four-blade propellers. (Virtually all A models were later retrofitted to the long nose, though they kept the three-blade propellers.) In the 50 years hence, the basic C-130 design has not changed much: the C-130E introduced underwing external fuel tanks, while the C-130H has a slightly different wing. Even the new C-130J variant only introduced new engines with more fuel efficient six-bladed propellers: the basic design remains the same. Lockheed also offers stretched versions of the Hercules, initially as a civilian-only option (the L-100-30); the British Royal Air Force bought this version as the C-130K and it was later adopted by other nations, including the United States.
The basic C-130 is strictly a transport aircraft, but the versatility of the aircraft has meant it has been modified into a dizzying number of variants. These include the AC-130 Spectre gunship, the HC-130 rescue aircraft and WC-130 weather reconnaissance version. Other versions include several dozen EC-130 electronic warfare/Elint variants, KC-130 tankers, and DC-130 drone aircraft controllers. The USAF, the US Navy, and the US Marine Corps are all C-130 operators as well. Besides the United States, there are 67 other operators of C-130s, making it one of the world’s most prolific aircraft, with its only rivals the Bell UH-1 Iroquois family and the Antonov An-2 Colt biplane transport. C-130s are also used extensively by civilian operators as well as the L-100 series.
The “Herky Bird,” as it is often nicknamed, has participated in every military campaign fought by the United States since 1960 in one variation or the other. During Vietnam, it was used in almost every role imaginable, from standard transport to emergency bomber: as the latter, it dropped M121 10,000 pound mass-focus bombs to clear jungle away for helicopter landing zones, and it was even attempted to use C-130s with these bombs against the infamous Thanh Hoa Bridge in North Vietnam. (Later this capability was added as standard to MC-130 Combat Talon special forces support aircraft; the MC-130 is the only aircraft cleared to carry the GBU-43 MOAB.) It was also instrumental in resupplying the Khe Sanh garrison during its three-month siege. Hercules crews paid the price as well: nearly 70 C-130s were lost during the Vietnam War. In foreign service, C-130s have also been used heavily, the most famous instance of which was likely the Israeli Entebbe Raid of 1976, one of the longest-ranged C-130 missions in history. C-130s are often in the forefront of humanitarian missions to trouble spots around the world, most recently in the 2011 Sendai earthquake disaster in Japan.
As of this writing, over 2300 C-130s have been built, and most are still in service. It remains the backbone of the USAF’s tactical transport service; attempts to replace it with the Advanced Tactical Transport Program (ATTP) in the 1980s and to supplement it with the C-27J Spartan in the 2000s both failed, as the USAF realized that the only real replacement for a C-130 is another C-130.
This aircraft--or what's left of it--is Bureau Number 156172, built as an EC-130Q TACAMO aircraft. TACAMO (Take Command And Move Out) aircraft are built to allow both the Navy and the National Command Authority--the President, Cabinet and Joint Chiefs--to talk to ballistic missile submarines from airborne command posts. In case of nuclear war, the President would board the E-4 NEACP, then use Very Low Frequency transmitter antennas to communicate with TACAMO aircraft. The TACAMO would then verify the messages as authentic and pass on the launch codes to submerged American submarines. The VLF antenna is resistant to electromagnetic pulse and jamming, and consists of a mile long cable strung behind the E-4 and the TACAMO aircraft. At first, a fleet of EC-130Q Hercules converted transports were built to fulfill the TACAMO role, but their age and slow speed led to the aircraft being replaced by the much more advanced Boeing E-6A Mercury, based on the 707 airframe.
156172 was delivered in 1968 and served with both TACAMO squadrons--VQ-3 ("Ironmen") at NAS Barbers Point, Hawaii and VQ-4 ("Shadows") at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. It was retired from VQ-4 in 1990 and put into storage at AMARC, but by 2002 was sold to Aircraft Restoration and Marketing a few miles west for use as a spares source for other Navy C-130s, namely those being restored at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida.
Today, not much is left of 156172--only the fuselage and tail remain; even the nose and wingbox have been removed. The only way to identify this aircraft is through its Snoopy nose art: shortly before 156172 was retired, the crew added Snoopy on both sides of the aircraft, with the name "The True TACAMO Warriors." Some of this art still remains, otherwise this C-130 would be nearly indistinguishable from the other ex-EC-130Qs in ARM's scrapyard. Other than being used as a prop for Boneyard Safari tours, more than likely 156172 will be scrapped completely in the next decade or so.

Before taking Gnan there was a lot of clashes with my family. But after doing pratikraman, the clashes that were ocurring for the past 20 years with my in-laws and husband all stopped. Even my mother-in-law who is not religious started watching Niruma's satsang.

Everything is in shambles!
Somehow it'll all work. I know. I hope. I wish...
The 7 things I hate about you!
The 7 things I hate about you, oh you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature."
~ Anne Frank

I had a disturbing realization today. In the cat food aisle at the grocery, I was looking at the other cat ladies, all frumpy, talking to themselves and purchasing more cat food than people food. I suddenly realized that I too am one of those cat ladies.
I only put the pepper and tomato in the cart for color.
But possibly the best moment of shopping - the best moment all day (yesterday was unbeatable as far as great days go) - was the checkout conversation. I was in the checkout with my favorite checker, Alvin. A very young and surprisingly handsome and intelligent bag boy named James admonished Alvin for asking me if I needed to replace anyone at home...he was willing to be the replacer. Alvin responds with an attempt at a Mom Joke:
Alvin: Hey, watch out James. Your Mom, um, told me today...I mean this morning...she said you should get to work on time.
James: That would be my step-mother. I don't got a mother no more.
So much for my evaluation of James' intelligence. And while I appreciate Alvin's attempt at the "I'm implying I slept with your mom" joke, it's bland and ill-timed delivery made James' response all the more tragic.
Happpiness from worldly things is like a loan which will have to be repaid. So if you wish such happiness keep readiness to repay. After self-realization, you can get permanent happiness from Soul, which is full of bliss. Yet repayment for past loans taken from previous lives will have to be made.

After Self-Realization, I felt inner peace in the event of a death of a family member, that happened before realizing the Self. The wave of emotions came and i realized it was that wave making me emotional and it was the circumstances that were meant to be like that. Neither the emotions nor the people connected to the situation could touch me anymore which was not the case before, and I felt complete peace thereafter.
