Orgasmic birth

Parto orgásmico. Orgasmic birth - subtitulado from Ana B. Camponovo on Vimeo. Here the text that accompanies the video...

¿Se puede parir sin violencia? ¿Se puede nacer de una forma natural y relajada? No dudes en ver estas imágenes que, aunque no son de gran calidad, dan una idea del abismo que existe entre el parto horizontal y el parto natural. La reconocida ginecóloga C. Nothrup y el simpático físico cuántico Nassim Haramein y esposa, nos hablan, entre otros, acerca de sus experiencias.

What do you desire?

Alan Watts: What do you desire? from Omer K on Vimeo.

What do you desire? What makes you itch?

What sort of a situation would you like?

Let’s suppose, I do this often in vocational guidance of students, they come to me and say, well, "we’re getting out of college and we have the faintest idea what we want to do". So I always ask the question, "what would you like to do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life?"

Read here about Alan Watts, the one speaking his ideas on the video.

Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth.

Today, these trends have reached their extreme - but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.

How to cook your life

 93´ film. Spanish subtitles.  Overview+Synopsis, from . http://dogwoof.com/films/how-to-cook-your-life .Esker mila Joli!

Overview: 

A Zen priest in San Francisco and cookbook (Edward Espe Brown ) author use Zen Buddhism and cooking to relate to everyday life.

Synopsis:

HOW TO COOK YOUR LIFE is a cheerful documentary about the art of cooking and the art of cooking your life without burning it, putting too much salt in, or overcooking it.

Doris Dörrie and the cooking Zen priest Edward Espe Brown demonstrate that eating is more than just the intake of food. Cooking is a festival of senses, and an act of love and generosity. During the summer of 2006 Doris Dörrie and her crew filmed Edward Brown at his cooking classes at the Buddhist center Scheibbs in Austria and the two Californian Buddhist centers, the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center and the Zen Center in San Francisco, where he teaches people of all generations.

His recipes are simple but rich in taste and aroma. HOW TO COOK YOUR LIFE refrains from using any commentary. The camera is like a participant of the cooking courses. It captures the flour-covered wooden table, the dough, the radishes, oranges and carrots. One learns to understand the anatomy and liveliness of yeast as cakes, pizza, and bread are baked. The camera joins the lectures of Edward Espe Brown, which are based on the ancient tradition of Zen master Dogen, the founder of the Soto Zen School. Already in 1283 Dogen wrote a cookbook in which he encourages his readers to discover Buddha in simple kitchen chores, like washing the rice or kneading dough.

Practical and entertaining, Edward Espe Brown knows how to translate those philosophical thoughts into today’s zeitgeist.

What is the meaning of cooking and eating for the community and the individual?

Is cooking a political act?

How does cooking reflect our attitude toward life and the world? 

Edward Espe Brown is a happy priest, but for sure no saint; to him, the whole world can be found in a watermelon. In his pots, rivers and mountains are cooked.

HOW TO COOK YOUR LIFE can change your view on cooking, eating and your own life. You will never again cut your vegetables the way you used to.

Love,

Starlings in Otmoor

And it happens everyday,...

Great video by dylanwinter1 recommended by Harrison Owen-2012-12-06 -on the Oslist:

"I think the most beautiful – and for your group, perhaps most powerful – is the flocking behavior of Starlings (birds). Check out www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH-groCeKbE  If the birds can do it, so can you! Or something."

Data honetan kargatu da: 2007 ots 21

www.keepturningleft.co.uk for more bird films. The starlings are an astonishing thing to see - Near Oxford - England. This was filmed at an RSPB reserve called Otmoor. It is the most remarkable thing I have ever seen - and as a video camerman I have seen some pretty amazing things.

The music is from a companny called CSS Music. The track is "soaring with the sun" - .

I have just received this

Hi, Dylan. I got your contact information from your beautiful YouTube video published in February 2007.

Audubon Magazine published a wonderful article about starling flock behavior earlier this year: http://www.audubonmagazine.org/features0903/truenature.html
.
My favorite segment from the article:

Like drivers on a freeway, starlings dont appear to mind having neighbors nearby on their sides—or above and below, for that matter—as long as they have open space ahead. That makes sense, since the presence of a clear path in the direction of travel minimizes the likelihood of collisions should the birds need to shift their course abruptly, as is likely when a falcon attacks. But whats really nifty about this spatial asymmetry is that the researchers have been able to use it to calculate the number of neighbors to which each starling pays close attention—a quantified elaboration of Pottss chorus line idea. By looking at correlations between the movements of neighboring starlings, they can show that each bird always pays attention to the same number of neighbors, whether they´re closer or farther away. How many neighbors is that? Six or seven, says Cavagna, who points out that starlings in flocks can almost always see many more nearby birds— but the number may be closely tied to birds cognitive ability.

The direction of the flock can be coordinated by each birds tracking six or seven other birds. Remarkable. This is a very different kind of cognitive skill.

I´m new here (Gil Sott-Heron)

Yaari Pannwitz plays with the words of this great song to announce his coming back to the oslist... (Oct 2012)

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/gil_scott_heron/im_new_here.html]

I did not become someone different
That I did not want to be
But I'm new here
Will you show me around

No matter how far wrong you've gone
You can always turn around

Met a woman in a bar
Told her I was hard to get to know
And near impossible to forget
She said I had an ego on me
The size of Texas

Well I'm new here and I forget
Does that mean big or small

No matter how far wrong you've gone You can always turnaround

And I'm shedding plates like a snake
And it may be crazy but I'm
The closest thing I have
To a voice of reason

Turnaround turnaround turnaround
And you may come full circle
And be new here again

The American Dream & theories. Who knows?

The video with Spanish subtitles here. 

I received the film link from a good friend and, after viewing its start and appearence I was just going to post it with no comments.

Then, as the subject is quite far from me I started inquiring a bit,... Finally I´m publishing it after some big doubts, specially to help us think about the difficulty to really know... 
Take a look to the lines below to know why I say it...

You can listen to an interview with its director, Tad Lumpkin here.
Here a comment on the film on RationalWiki -with my blackening some words-:

At first glance, the movie seems to explain rather accurately what concepts such as money and debt mean. At around half way through the film however, it deteriorates into a vast conspiracy theory, claiming, among other things, that the Rothschild family (called "Red-Shields" in the film) are controlling the Federal Reserve and that they were responsible for the Assassination of JFK. The film's official website contains a list of "Good Guys" who, according to the film's creators, try to fight the evil Rotschilds from taking over the world. The website Drudge Report and Alex Jones are listed among them. Jones himself has given a positive review of the film.[1]

Some comments by Tad Lumpkin -with my blackening some words- answering to people´s comments to the film on Ron Paul´s page (Wikipedia on Ron Paul. Take a look to Newsletters controversy.)

I took a look at the thread. First off, what people need to understand is that we made this as a way to start a conversation and explain the basics of the economic, banking and monetary system we have. The point is to expose that it is inherently a scam. The film is meant to drive people who are currently unengaged in this issue to become engaged. People within the movement need to look at this not as a competitor or replacement to a longer more in depth examination of the exact mechanics but as a gateway to it.
Think of this film more in the vein of South Park. Its a mix of exposing an issue using fact and storytelling with our commentary obviously laid in there.
On specific issues, like the Thomas Jefferson quote:
That quote is attributed to him over and over again and maybe he didn't say it but most people right or wrong believe he did. Regardless of the reality, it conveys the point we wanted to make. Thomas Jefferson spoke about all the issues and ideas covered in that quote many many times in 100% verifiable historical documents. The rivalry of ideas with Alexander Hamilton is one of the most famous political rivalries in American history. There isn't anything in that quote that is contradictory to the often expressed beliefs that Jefferson espoused. Its not like that quote is counter what he believed. Again, we aren't making a historical book of quotes, we are made a narrative cartoon. Whether the words were the exact way he said those ideas or not it doesn't change anything.
Its the same thing on "I killed the bank' being said by Andrew Jackson" that potentially could be lore, but again its totally consistent to who he was and what he did. If he didn't say it on his death bed, he should have and again, It doesn't change anything. We aren't trying to trick people, we are trying to motivate them to research the ideas in the film and get involved.
On the 10th century scene with the candy man. The point of that was to show the evolution from barter to currency and the move from coinage to paper and how that then provided the opportunity for fractional reserve banking and unintended consequences. The prices went up because the bank, a private bank increased the money supply because of the switch from a full reserve system to a fractional reserve system.
Beyond that, I'll make it clear for the record that we are not endorsing violence. Our website has more information on things people can go do to get involved. What we are endorsing is people to do something, question the system, take these people to task and be willing to be a patriot by risking something to refresh the tree of liberty. Protest, organizing and civil disobedience via many methods is hopefully sufficient to change things. We are not being polite about our point of view. Part of our style is an edgy satire that calls it likes it sees it. We were tame compared to something like South Park that is wildly popular.
Same on the conspiracy theory comment. Again "Its an animated satire" Its not a documentary. There are tons of very dry and straight forward presentations of these ideas, this is something different. Not in conflict with those but again as a gateway.
The biggest thing that people in the liberty movement need to understand is that everyone isn't like them and doesn't respond to the same generally academic methodology. Remember our current President won on what? not a real plan... He won on "hope and change". You have to market these ideas to people.This movement has by far the most superior concepts but it lacks the wide spread acknowledgment that having the best ideas is not enough. We need to present these in a way that can be summarized in words like 'hope and change", not just in 300 page Austrian economics book. If we only rely on that, we'll never hit critical mass to really change things back to a liberty based philosophy.
I have shown this film to lots of people who are everything but a libertarian oriented person and they love it and they get it.
The Pepsi Challenge I'll put forth to everyone, is to show this film to their friends and family that they have been trying to get to read Road to Serfdom for the last 10 years and see what happens. One, you can get most everyone to sit down and watch it because its short and easy to watch. Two, take a look at the impact rate. It is far higher because of the simplicity.
That is my diatribe. Hope that addresses some of the concerns.
best
Tad

Midway between beauty & horror. Love what is

Do we have the courage to face the realities of our time?

And allow ourselves to feel deeply enough that it transforms us
 and our future?

Come with me on a journey through the eye of beauty

Across an ocean of grief and beyond…

MIDWAY : trailer : a film by Chris Jordan from Midway media project on .

Chris Jordan - Director/Producer   For more information:  MidwayFilm.com  Twitter: @midwayjourney

Music Baaba Maal

Text below from the Vimeo page of the project:

A powerful, poetic, visual and introspective journey into the heart of an astonishingly symbolic environmental tragedy. On one of the remotest islands on our planet, tens of thousands of baby albatrosses lie dead on the ground, their bodies filled with plastic from the Pacific Garbage Patch. Returning to the island over several years, our team is witnessing the cycles of life and death of these birds as a multi-layered metaphor for our times. With photographer Chris Jordan as our guide, we walk through the fire of horror and grief, facing the immensity of this tragedy—and our own complicity—head on. And in this process, we find an unexpected route to a transformational experience of beauty, acceptance, and understanding.

We frame our story in the vividly gorgeous language of state-of-the-art high-definition digital cinematography, surrounded by millions of live birds in one of the world’s most beautiful natural sanctuaries. The viewer will experience stunning juxtapositions of beauty and horror, destruction and renewal, grief and joy, birth and death, coming out the other side with their heart broken open and their worldview shifted. Stepping outside the stylistic templates of traditional environmental or documentary films, MIDWAY will take viewers on a guided tour into the depths of their own spirits, delivering a profound message of reverence and love.

Watching and reading this takes us to embrace  chaos, confusion and conflict as Harrison Owen suggests us; birth and death, breath in, breath out; let go through the grief process,... Open Space. It also takes us to Byron Katie´s proposal to love what is.

Best,

SINGING YOURSELF ALIVE - WILL HEWETT

Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening.. Love like you´ve never been hurt and live like is heaven on earth. - MARK TWAIN

Thanks so much @SunniBrown for tweeting on gorgeous video featuring @vocata.

Vocalist and improviser Will Hewett explores the language of sound beneath words. After singing 15 minutes every day for a year, Will Hewett describes--and sings--what he learned about commitment and the ability of a simple creative practice to open us to vibrancy, and to a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Some extracts:

My whole concept of time turned inside out This practice became like a generational center of my day. It was like a fire, hoooooo, that the rest of the day gathered around.

Listen to the singing world around me and find my part on it. Something it was like if the world was singing so fully that there was nothing from me to add. 

I sang whatever showed up. Most times sounds in made up languages.

I got to travel every day into the world beneath words: the world of colour, of life, of vibration, of motion, a world that has no borders, no countries, and for me it feels like swimming. And I think we all know this world. I think our bodies are experiencing it all the time, they´re experiencing it right now. We just tend to cover it up with a layer of words, ideas,.thoughts about who we are or who we should be. But words are really flemsy messengers for the fullness of the experience. And singing can bring us here.

So my simple hope is that we´ll just sing more, that we´ll sing our way into the world of our bodies and the body  of our world. That feels more important than ever.

You can start it´s easy. You can just start humming...

Time bows to authentic commitment and it stretches to accommodate it.

Enjoy life, listen to the singing world around us :-)!
