Alan Cohen, August 19, 2011, Express, Repress, or Heal?
Emotions are a vital part of our guidance system, spiritual guidance to get us at the right place at the right time. Every emotion is a call for you to look deeper for the place within you that wants to love or to be loved. A call to love or a call to BE loved.
Expressing emotions: it’s possible to express yourself without being brutal.. sometimes people who express themselves brutally are more interested in brutality than expressing
Affirmations
love requires no cost
happiness requires no pain
I can have it all (cultural baggage: how dare you? how selfish and horrible of you, if you keep on doing that you will see what can happen!!)
I know that ALL of my emotions are guiding me to deeper and richer levels of awareness
I claim that wholeness NOW (I don’t wait for conditions to be right or anything else..)
at this very moment I claim my power to be happy right where I stand
I claim my power to have what I want sexually, emotionally, monetarilly
in my home, in my work, I have a right to have a joyful self-expression
I partner with Spirit, I partner with God to manifest this in my life
I and God make a team that cannot be defeated because
love is the only reality [truth] all else is illusion
Final words: “I don’t express myself, I just grow tumors” Woody Allen

Healing the Judgment Habit
There is an important distinction between discerning and judging
and author Jennifer Hadley offers to expose it:
Hadley relates the roots of our habit of judging, among others, to what she calls "old" or "traditional" belief systems:
"Many things in life seem painful, horrible, destructive – even evil. Yet if we live in a universe of oneness and divine order, there must be a spiritual purpose to everything, regardless of whether [or not] we see it. [Ernest] Holmes taught that evil is: 'that which appears destructive. And we all know that appearances are deceiving.'
When[ever] I’m willing to give up my opinion, I’ll finally have a chance of seeing divine order… Each time I demonstrate [this] willingness, I become lighter."

Rewire your circuits to feel JOY!!!
In this on-line radio talk show, Laurel Mellin describes
"The Eudonic rewards of life"
that feed our hearts and souls in ways that Ice Cream simply can't!
Sanctuary
(feeling safe and at ease inside)
Authenticity
(being really who you are inside and accepting it)
Vibrancy
(feeling at your physical best)
Intimacy
(sharing feelings of closeness with another)
Integrity
(knowing your purpose in life and staying with it)
Spirituality
(enjoying the expansiveness of our beings, beyond the physical realm)
and I would add: Voluptee / Sensuality
(enjoying the delights that our senses provide)
These rewards flood your brain with feel-good chemicals..

REbirthING yOUrself!!
Alan Cohen on expressing a “death desire”.
You ask yourself:
What is it, in me that needs to die, in order that I might live?
What has this situation come up to help me clarify?
Reframing suicidal desire:
You wanna die to your old way of being?
You want out of a way of thinking or
out of a way of living that hurts?
and it really SHOULD hurt, because when
you live from that place there really IS NO reward in it
the old life that you've been living is too small for you.
and it's (squeezign you through a birthcanal)
pushing you to a higher level of living, of consciousness
this does not require death, it requires greater life
(you wanna be reborn)
you want to die to your old life that is too limiting!
What is it that really needs to die?
What part of my life is this calling me to let go of?
What old way of life, of fear, or reacting, what upset is this asking me to let go of?
Do self nurturing things that make you feel good!
Affirm:
“no one has the power or the right to push my spirit down
unless I give it to them
unless I give my power away”

Make yourself attractive to your goal!
On Christiane Northrup's show, Gail recommends the following:
to truly flourish
one must change one's friends and associates.
when we don't have our goal yet, but we make ourselves
attractive to our goal,
usually our ability to receive something [different] WILL change us,
and it will change what we have been attracting!
N.B.our income is the average income of our five closest friends

Mankind's Seven Social Sins
According to Julia Baird, these are Mahatma Gandhi's seven social sins:
commerce without morality,
politics without principle,
wealth without work,
pleasure without conscience,
education without character,
science without humanity,
worship without sacrifice.
To receive: to accept willingly! (Amanda Owen, author of The Power of Receiving))

IN THE HOUSE OF THE MUSES
"In April of 2007, Susie travelled to Egypt to photograph individuals working at the Library, and this visit enabled us to include a range of very different people from scientists and antiquities experts, to cleaners and guards. “In the House of the Muses” is a collection of 70 portraits reflecting images from from this trip."
Thank you, Ray!

The Way of Transformation
Mystic, Philosopher & Alchemist
The masters say that the great work consists in corporializing the spirit
and spiritualizing the body
In making fluid the fixed, the body
And in fixing and stabilizing the fluid, the spirit
In manifesting the mystery and in making mysterious the manifest
The philosopher's stone, the final product of alchemy
is the spirit arrived at the density and concrete reality of a body
I raise myself to god to compel god to descend into my being and to give birth to god
And for that i must have a body, a belly,
my body must exist in my soul,
I must develop a strong body
powerful, sensual, sexual, volcanic, fertile
Oh god, i love Life!!
as quoted by Andrew Harvey on hayhouseradio.com
* "Riche de l’enseignement de Carl Gustav Jung, Etienne Perrot(1922-1996) est un témoin, il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages, traducteur, conférencier, éveilleur d’esprit. Son parcours, sa pensée, ses pérégrinations et explorations de la profondeur de son être, son expérience d’interprète de rêves sont révélateurs d’un homme dans le présent, le dynamisme, la réalité.."

Tonight Amre Heiba
Amre Heiba
Still Life (Acrylic on canvas)
Mashrabia Gallery of Contemporary Art
March 6, 2011 to April 7, 2011
Opening, March 6 at 7 pm
In between graffiti and new expressionism, Amre Heiba's new work causes the viewer a sense of disorientation. Although it represents scenes of daily life, time and space remain undefined, almost suspended. Human beings and animals are part of the scenes, but the artist treats them as objects, reason for this exhibition's provocative title: Still life.

The Truth About Red Bull?
The Red Bull drink is discussed at length pages 4&5 of a National Geographic article on Caffeine "the world's most popular psychoactive drug" as the article calls it.
Briefly: <<< Last year the European Union, guided in part by the Irish study, began requiring packaged drinks with more than 150 milligrams of caffeine per liter to be labeled "high caffeine content" drinks. By that standard, Red Bull and most of its competitors are high-caffeine beverages—so is any cup of coffee, for that matter—but most colas and other soft drinks are not. The labeling requirement applies in all 25 EU nations. Australia and New Zealand have also adopted warning requirements. The United States has no such rule, but many canned energy drinks sold in the U.S. carry warnings anyway.
One member of Ireland's Stimulant Drinks Committee who was not at all
satisfied with its proceedings—indeed, he decided to withdraw from the
study group—is Jack James, a psychologist who believes there is little
to be gained from labeling some drinks high caffeine. He says that
such a label implies consumers are perfectly safe in drinking
beverages with lower levels of caffeine, a conclusion he says isn't
supported by the evidence. While consumers around the world continue
their intake of the drug year after year, James sits in his spartan
office at the National University of Ireland's Galway campus,
documenting the reasons they should stop. A colleague once dubbed him
a caffeine crusader. An Australian native with curly hair, wire-rim
glasses, and a steely determination, James sips at a glass of tepid
water over the course of a four-hour interview. Previously a daily
consumer of caffeine, he's mostly sworn off the stuff for years.

موسيقى وأغانى مصرية... بصوت جديد
لناس من مكان
في ساقيه الصاوي
27 فبراير 2011
تجربة ابداعية موسيقية نسعى فيها لطرح "صوتً" موسيقيً جديدً يشارك فيها عمالقة الموسيقيين فى مصر من حفظة التراث ومن ورثة المقامات والتقنيات الموسيقية الشعبية والحديثة.
تعتمد التجربة فى أساسها على مفردات وقواعد وتقنيات الموسيقى الشعبية بجمالياتها وتفاصيلها الدقيقة وثراءها الشديد وقدرتها على النفاذ إلى قلب المستمع.
منذ أن بدأنا فى العمل فى مجال الموسيقى الشعبية قبل سنوات مضت وهناك سؤال يطرح نفسه: ماذا بعد؟ ماذا بعد الوصول إلى ما تبقى من المصادر الحية لتلك الموسيقى؟ ماذا بعد تسجيلها وحفظها على وسائط تقنية حديثة؟ ماذا بعد تقديمها بدون "شوائب" وإضافات مُستغربة؟ ماذا بعد تقديمها مرات ومرات بنفس شكلها التقليدى؟.
جاءت الإجابة من مقولة الشيخ أمين الخولى
"أول التجديد، قتل القديم فهمًا".
لذلك تعد هذه التجربة محاولة فى طريق هذا التجديد نقف فيها على القواعد والأساسات المتينة والثرية لموسيقانا الشعبية لنبنى عليها أشكالاً وأصواتًا وألحانًا وتراكيب مختلفة لنخرج فى النهاية بتجربة إبداعية جديدة.
"Nass Makan"
At El Sawy Culture Wheel
27 Feb. 2011
The latest project of ECCA Makan, Nass Makan (« The people of Makan ») brings together the greatest musicians of Egypt on stage in a new sound. Famous custodians of the legacy of musical tradition, such as Zar performers Om Sameh and Om Hassan, singer Sayed Rekabi together with many unqiue instrumentalists.
Gypsy Music from the Delta joins hands with Zar songs and Sudanese music styles, traditional instruments join contemporary ones. In the thoughtful and exhilarating arrangements, each singer and each music style is presented on a platform that respects the diverse musical tradition and brings out its in a new way.
Musical director Ahmed el Maghraby describes the process:
Since the beginning of my work in the field of traditional music some years ago, I always ask myself the following question: What happens after? What happens after we have located the last living resources of certain musical traditions? What happens after we record and preserve this music with the means of modern technology? What happens after we present it the way it is, without additions or alterations? What happens after we present the same music for many times? The answer I found is based on the words of Sheikh Amin Elkhouly:
"The first step in a renewal is to contain and totally assimilate the old".
With "Nass Makan" I tried to find this road to renewal by analyzing Our music, by building on techniques, shapes and sounds of traditional music in a way that will produce a new creative experience.

"I set out on this ground, which I suppose to be self-evident, 'that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living,' that the dead have neither powers nor rights over it."
usufruct = "right to the use and profits of the property of another without damaging it," 1618 (implied in usufructuary ), from L. usufructus , in full "usus et fructus", meaning "use and enjoyment"
what about the earth? does it have rights? does it remain undamaged in this usufruct?

what about the yet unborn? the generations to come? do they have rights?
