Elvis believed that there is one God who is within us all. Elvis had an open and questioning mind and a thirst for knowledge; he explored all sorts of ideas - reincarnation, theosophy, metaphysics, mysticism, gnosticism and numerology, but generally shied away from astrology, psychics and fortune-telling. He attended the Self-Realization Fellowship outside Los Angeles, which is an interfaith organisation covering both Hindu and Christian teachings. He raised questions and expressed doubts, accepting nothing at face value. Geller states that Elvis was too sharp to be taken in by charlatans of any persuasion.
At the same time, Elvis never rejected his religion, only its rigid adherents and their intolerance of any deviation from the accepted word, remaining a Christian his whole life, but not a Christian to the exclusion of anything else. He believed in the unity in all religions and saw no conflict between Hinduism and Christianity. This is very much a Hindu viewpoint too. Maybe the influence of Hinduism on Elvis has been understated, although his interest in Buddhism has been noted elsewhere.
Geller explains that there was a dichotomy between Elvis' spiritual quest, his charitable nature and his kind and sensitive side - and his shadow, his self-destructive tendency that caused him immense pain and agony. He was exhorted by Daya Mata of the Self-Realization Fellowship to harmonise body, mind and soul. His failings, as we know, were his impatience and his temper. He tried hard to control his ego but neglected his body. He made attempts to change his diet but invariably reverted to the ingrained bad eating habits that had their roots in his childhood poverty.
I have been questioning myself for my teens time about what for this big sole tree based near this small stoned hutt.
So far I haven't gotten any answer !
Always makes me smile to think about it ! :)
Bright orange faithfully flutters defiantly against the deep blue sky

I'm not questioning the usefulness of traffic lights. But I wonder about their (in)efficiency: it seems to me that a lot of time we waste time waiting, and smart vehicles which sense the surrounding environment could be much more efficient
"There is No God." How often we hear it; how more often we see it being lived out.
But seldom do I hear what rationally should follow the statement above...that.."SInce there is no God, there is no good, and neither is there evil, for there cannot exist a standard to measure these, except by the intensity of pain or pleasure these 2 opposites [good and evil] exert on us. "
But as time runs out, perspectives change.
With the intention of questioning the structural and aesthetic nature of the virtual image, the video installation Slow Track forgoes the excess, speed, spectacle, surrealism, sci-fi, and fantasy commonly associated with computer-generated imagery. The work deploys a ‘perceptually photorealistic’, slow, gentle, and possibly mundane image which is wary of the software that produces it. Rather than a computer-generated image that seduces us with spectacle, this is one which asks for patience.

People are always questioning Guan Liang’s paintings: they look just like children’s work, why are they so valuable? Even some great writers applauded Guan Liang’s paintings, and some famous painters exchanged their works with him. The answer comes from the question itself. Guan Liang’s painting is valuable because it’s just like children’s work, with the innocent heart of an art addict.

Monday wash day!
Questioning the status of ordinary washing places, Caroline Jacob has shifted the usual location of the laundrette and will transform Mediamatic into a laundrette to present wASH. Preserving the social aspect of the laundrette, Monday Washday Laundrette is an opportunity to gather, try out wASH, as well as tell the stories emerging its creation. As an homage to the heirloom custom and the recipe embodied in the laundry detergent, visitors will be invited to wash their laundry in the space. The laundrette will open its doors every Monday and will be available for free use all day long. Visitors might become performers, clothes gesticulated, machines resonated.
Apparently...yes:
"John,
Last week I forwarded the attached picture to you questioning what animal might be leaving these gems on my trails and driveway. My mystery has been solved as under the full moonlight a few days ago and the fierce barking of my dog, I had the pleasure of a large bear visiting my bird feeding area right close to the front of my house. The feeders had been knocked down a few days earlier, and I had assumed coons had been the culprits as I've discovered them previous years enjoying the feast.
When I opened my door and tried to persuade my dog inside to observe the bear longer, my dog charged at the bear and it did run off. Although I was quite concerned I might have a wounded dog if it decided to swat or be irritated with him. All is well and feel privileged to have had this wild visitor. But the birds are on their own till November I guess. Don't even dare hang up the humningbird feeder!

Creating this piece began by questioning my assumptions about how humans and technology collaborate to create art. Humans are often assumed to be the source of creativity, and technology works mindlessly to realize the human’s vision. But technology is inherently just as creative as a person – for example, it is certainly much more creative at guessing random numbers. So, how could I reverse these roles? In my Collaborative Drawing Machine, a person draws lines on a blank canvas, and the machine creatively reimagines these lines as a landscape.
This process embodies collaboration by allowing users to consider non-human agents as creative equals. OpenCV image processing is used to determine the location of the Axidraw head and the line drawn on the paper. The contour is parsed internally, and my algorithm nondeterministically places features such as birds, houses, trees, towers, lakes, and boats upon the contour to turn the lifeless line into a tiny, floating world.
This project was made possible with support from the Frank-Ratchye Further Fund Microgrant #2025-002.
For 12 years New Hope Christian Church as presented the Journey to Bethlehem; a live outdoor nativity. This program reaches thousands of people from around the Southern Indiana region. This 45 minute program requires the participation of hundreds from the church and some help from other area churches as well.
I have now been three weeks without alcohol. Most days are good days but today has started off not so great. Not that anything bad as happened just one of those days that my mind races around a lot of different things. It seems like the two things I have been battling with the most is alcohol and my faith. My faith went out the window when I began drinking and I assumed when I stopped I could gain it back but instead I am left questioning it even more.
The photo was actually taken May 29 2012.
