Anybody Here Seen Alan?

[MisterBeale]

I forgot his full username but he's a cat lover and loves lingering in the music threads. Is he still a member here?

He told us "bye." So, I am guessing you won't see him again.

Odd that you acknowledged his leaving, but now have started this thread?

Yeah, fbj, he seems to check in every once in a while always some travail over the failings of his love life, and of course, it is always the woman's fault. I can never forget his story from long ago, something about eating pie out of the crack of his date's ass. I can see how that might ruin a date.


Yeah, I try to keep up, my memory is usually good, but it would seem she is our name change queen for some reason. Originally something about Harry Potter, maybe Harrypotterville?, then it was 'The Good Doctor' or something like that, again, apparently some kind of reference to the series, I'm afraid I rate really poor on most all of these newer animated movies and series aimed at fantasy-fiction popular in the youth genre, so most of this stuff goes right over my head.

Then came Roadrunner, apparently over some feud with old moderator Coyote, which while I somehow missed whatever the issue was here because personally, while we disagreed on a lot politically, I never really found Coyote a bad moderator, plus I always wondered, what if the mod has intended her name in the sense of a coyote who smuggles illegals, and not the cartoon type? There is more than one meaning to a 'coyote.'

Oh well, that is about the best as I recall right now, and it is probably only about 80% right because there is just a lot more pressing things in life right now to deal with.

I chose Coyote because I was drawn to the spirit Coyote in Native American stories. I’ve always been fascinating by the trickster beings (Coyote, Fox, Raven) … after all, it was Coyote who brought mankind the forbidden fire.

It was neither the cartoon nor the smugglers….though cartoon Coyote is hilarious.

Pretty sure I'm not the Alan you're looking for.

Hey….you’re back?

Been doing ok, just really busy.

That's good I was worried about you. See toobfreak? All is good here between us now. As long as we don't talk politics that is.

Makes sense; I'm very familiar with the many spirits of Indian folklore: the spirit of the wind, sky, water, mountains... it is these spirits which both guide/control the forces of nature as well as guide the Indians themselves.

I feel close to them quite often.

I understand that the Coyote still has a pending lawsuit out for the past 85 years against Acme Manufacturing for all of the thousands of products they sold which proved defective.

Rat bastards must've gone out of business.

Do you have Navajo in you?

No, I’m just an American mutt.

Well, I can relate to that. I'm a student of archaeoastronomy, and among the many folklore of early people is a lot of mythology about the Sun, Moon, sky, Earth, and the like. Out of that came first the Primordials, then the Titans, and finally the Olympians. These were western man's answer to the same riddle as faced the Indians.

Of course, the scientist in me fully knows the scientific facts of why and how these thing exist and move, but going out in the wild, in the wilderness, in the fortunes of wind and rain and weather, under the stars and Moon, it is not hard to close one's eyes and be moved by these forces, feel the spirit of them speaking to the spirit in you, and understand how these ancients saw and related to the world around them.

Are they real? Who can prove either way, but I've been with enough animals (even cats and dogs) who see and feel these things, and imagination is a higher brain function of cognition that animals are not supposed to have, so I tend to feel these things are real, all around us, and most modern mankind simply tunes them out, desensitized through eons of social conditioning.

Here, Mrs. C, since you are interested in spirits and forces of the earth, here is something for you to cogitate:

A sickly, eastern european man once came to America, and had an uncanny knack to feel the magnetic fields of the earth and hunted out special locations were the earth's field was just right and the rock was just right, then amazingly, hand-built a giant castle for his "sweetheart" out of blocks of stone so big and heavy, we can't deal with them today, and using no heavy equipment. He just "moved" them, including one so perfectly balanced as a kind of "door" that even a child could move it.

To this day, no one knows how he did it it, the place is still there (in Florida), the guy was Edward Leedskalnin, and he even wrote a book on magnetic forces (to which I have a copy).

Watch both these videos, I think you'll find them interesting, the 2nd being a copy of the programming which first brought the matter to my attention in the 1970s.
