It's All About Me, Man

I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

absolutely!

I'd also encourage new people (and old, if you haven't been there yet) to visit a couple of other sites:

The Homepage for the Waiting for Ishtar documentary:

http://waitingforishtar.wordpress.com/

Jef Leeson's awesome Ishtar fan page:

http://www.ishtarmovie.com/

Bob Helbig's Fan Fiction Sequel, (Telling The Truth Can be) Dangerous Business:

http://www.angelfire.com/pa3/bobhelbig/Telling_The_Truth_Can_Be_Dangerous_Business_index.html

There is lots of evidence out there for intelligent life on planet earth (Ishtar fans) - but it takes some time to dig it out. I have the time, I've done the digging, and I'm happy to share what I learned.

I'm going to close by stealing a comment left on the Waiting for Ishtar site, I thought it beautifully summed up much of what I love about Ishtar:

Well now! This is a funny thing. I never, EVER thought I'd see the day when Ishtar would get an honest treatment. You can measure the integrity of a person in whether they form their own opinions or dance along with group-think. Ishtar is an excellent yardstick in this respect, though I never liked to use it very often as it was sort of depressing most of the time. We live in a world filled with many frightened sleep walkers, and this is a horrible, uncharitable thing to consider.

I saw Ishtar when I was seventeen, and I had no expectations whatsoever because at the time I was a sleep walker of my sort who was incapable of plugging into the notion of hip and cool at any level of society. I didn't know that there was a public opinion with regard to movies, or that one was subtly required to adopt these attitudes. I quite enjoyed Ishtar, but I didn't REALLY REALLY enjoy it per se. That came later as my awareness of the world expanded and I started meeting these wonderful, beautiful creative people who had tons of passion but only moderate talent. People who would never make it big, but who were valid, vital humans nonetheless. Ishtar is bitter-sweet, sad and encouraging and funny and gentle, honest and delusional. It has all the qualities of positive, fragile yet un-stoppable humanity. Chuck and Lyle weren't the sort who would ever write a Simon & Garfunkel song, but I realized at some point that they *were* the sort of people who Simon & Garfunkel might very well have written songs about.

Anyway, some years later I rented Ishtar with a friend, telling him, "You should see this. I remember that it was quite good and I've never understood why it has become so shunned by popular opinion."

–In retrospect, it seems to me that it was more than just the huge budget which turned public opinion against the film. I think instead that it might have had largely to do with the fact that in some ways, High school never really ends for many people. –That is, geeky people like Chuck & Lyle, who are not as talented and not as hip or savvy. . , for some reason those are exactly the kids who are punished by the purveyors of popular acceptance. The popular kids killed Ishtar.

So we watched the film. It has it's flaws, but Oh My GOD! I realized then, (at that point I was in my twenties), that it had some points of utter genius which are almost NEVER seen in film. I didn't realize it as a kid, but it its message was powerful; "Follow Your Bliss." It had Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts and Ray Bradbury written all over it. –And not in that sickly Feel-Good Disney manner which doesn't work. –If you follow your soul, it will carry you to magnificent places of great value, but unlike the false Feel-Good message, those places will often not conform to the narrowly defined, popularly accepted version of success of American Dream fortune as seen on magazine covers. –One's true journey might stop at such places, (why not? Happy, powerful people are often paid attention to), but that is never the goal. Instead, the true journey will take you to incredible, unexpected places, through terrifying challenges, and will teach lessons of much deeper value.

I think that is what horrified many viewers and reviewers of Ishtar. –The popular kids really are the ones who dictate that which is considered proper and 'cool', and the idea of breaking with popular acceptance in order to make difficult journeys for non-material reward is anathema to their mind-set. Abandon slave-hood to popular rule in order to grow spiritually? Argh! Of course it must be shunned! The slaves must not grow strong, must not escape! –And especially when you connect the psychological dots to those 44 million 1980's dollars spent in making the film. . .

Oh, god, Ishtar was an awesome movie!

For anybody who liked Ishtar, there's a less accessible, but in my opinion, even more powerful movie with a similar message. –Also critically panned, also written by a praise-sung genius, and also featuring an otherwise blockbuster cast, (Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.) Go watch, "Joe v.s. the Volcano".

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Re: [progressive] Moon-walker claims alien cover-up, Feds uncover oil price manipulation, Gitmo prosecutor repeats claim 9/11 flight shot down

I wonder if Edgar Mitchell's aliens have anything more useful to say to us than all the other aliens that everybody else claims contact with.  They come incredible distances, violating the laws of physics as we understand them, to say things that a guy with long hair and sandals told us 2000 years ago.  Or other things that we never could have thought of on our own, like "pollution is bad for children and other living things."

When people told the late, great Carl Sagan that they'd been in contact with aliens, he'd give them a list of unsolved scientific problems that should be a cakewalk for beings so advanced.  Sagan instructed them to ask their alien friends these questions, and get back to him with the answers. Nobody ever did, of course.

I wish those damn aliens would get off their "love your brother" soapbox and tell us something useful, like how to double the efficiency of solar cells for example, because we're going to need more than nice words to get out of this mess we're in. When that happens, I'll take these aliens a little more seriously. Until then as far as I'm concerned their just a bunch of little green hippies from space.

And what's up with Mitchell's claims that new information about these aliens is just around the corner - the spaced man has been saying this kind of thing for years:

Wikipedia entry: Mitchell's interests include consciousness and paranormal phenomena. During the Apollo 14 flight he conducted private ESP experiments with his friends on Earth.[3] In early 1973, he founded the nonprofit Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) to conduct and sponsor research into areas that mainstream science has found unproductive, including consciousness research and psychic events.

Mitchell says that a teenage remote healer who lives in Vancouver and uses the pseudonym Adam Dreamhealer, helped heal him of kidney cancer at a distance. Mitchell said that while he never had a biopsy (the definitive test for cancer), "I had a sonogram and MRI that was consistent with renal carcinoma." Adam worked (distantly) on Mitchell from December of 2003 until June of 2004, when the "irregularity was gone and we haven't seen it since."[4]

Mitchell has publicly expressed his opinions that he is "90 per cent sure that many of the thousands of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, recorded since the 1940s, belong to visitors from other planets"[5] and that UFOs have been the "subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and to create confusion so the truth doesn't come out."[6] In 2004 he told the St. Petersburg Times that a "cabal of insiders" inside the US Government were studying recovered alien bodies, and that this group had stopped briefing US Presidents after John F. Kennedy.[7] He has said, that "We all know that UFOs are real, now the question is, where they come from."[8]

On July 23, 2008 Edgar Mitchell was interviewed on Kerrang Radio. Mitchell claimed the Roswell crash was real and that Aliens have contacted humans several times but that governments have hidden the truth for 60 years stating, "'I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real." In reply, a spokesman for NASA stated, "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe. Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue."[9] [10]

Edgar Mitchell is one of the astronauts featured in the documentary In the Shadow of the Moon.

As well as academic papers,[11] Mitchell has written two books: Psychic Exploration: A Challenge for Science (ISBN 0-399-11342-8) and The Way of the Explorer (ISBN 1-57270-019-X). In The Way of the Explorer, Mitchell proposed a dyadic model of reality.[12]

He is currently the Advisory Board Chairman of the Institute for Cooperation in Space, co-founded by Dr. Carol Rosin[13] and is a member of INREES.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Fwd: 2 Choices for Humanity

I got some insulin shock inducing glurge in the mail yesterday. Some children (who in real life show as much kindness to those that are different as fireants shows to an earthworm) show unnatural kindness to a mentally and physically handicapped child.  The boy's life mission of providing a heartwarming story for people to endlessly circulate in cyberspace, cheerfully expires a year later. 

I got to thinking about this - why do the glurgemeisters always kill off the handicapped kid in their stories?  Why do they hate handicapped kids so much? It brings to mind slasher movies (and that guy with the hook lurking up on Skyline Drive!)... the teens have been promiscuous.  Their fate is sealed.  They must be dismembered, that this the only possible outcome for them. 

Filled with reformist zeal, I undertook the task of rewriting this glurge, giving it a much better ending.  Please circulate this new version endlessly through cyberspace.

Thank you,
Matt

: Two Choices

What would you do? You make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fund raising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Georgie, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Georgie, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'

Then he told the following story:

Georgie and his father had walked past a park where some boys Georgie knew were playing baseball. Georgie asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?'  Georgie's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Georgie on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

Georgie's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Georgie could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

Georgie struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. His Father watched with a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Georgie's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Georgie put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Georgie's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Georgie was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Georgie bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Georgie was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Georgie didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Georgie stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Georgie's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Georgie could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Georgie swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Georgie. As the pitch came in, Georgie swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Georgie would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Georgie, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had Georgie ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Georgie awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Georgie rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball ... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Georgie ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Georgie, Georgie, Georgie, all the way, Georgie'

Georgie reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Georgie, run to third!'

As Georgie rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Georgie, run home! Run home!' Georgie ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Georgie did indeed go all the way. He went on to become the President of the United States. It just goes to show that anything is possible if you are born into a large and influential crime family, your father was the head of the secret police and had many, many powerful friends in industry and politics.


AND NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.

If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message. Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.' So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.

You now have two choices:
1. Delete
2. Forward

May your day, be a Georgie Day.
