The Strange Case of Dr. Henry Gates

Michael Jackson A. D.

Jul 29, 2009 07:29PM

When you’re a world famous celebrity nothing comes easy… not even your death. Controversy rages around your last moments, what drugs you might have taken, what your doctor did or didn’t do, not to mention your will, the custody of your children, and what about all those tickets people bought for your big comeback tour.   Actually, a comeback tour from his present location has only been done once before, so I recall.

Americans love our freedom and we love to fight.  This volatile combination is how our country was formed and grew and why we can justify planting our flag anywhere in the world where human rights appear threatened.  It is also how small unimportant incidents between two male egos can escalate into major national issues that grab the headlines and stir the pot.  Take the strange case of Dr. Henry Louis Gates of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

On Being Connected

Michael Jackson and Higher Consciousness

There’s something nice about being connected.  Whether we’re talking about knowing the ‘right’ people in business, having someone you love waiting for you at home, or even being part of a street gang, being connected is good.   In the words of the West Side Story Jets… “You’re never alone… you’re never disconnected.  You’re home with your own… when company’s expected… you’re well protected!.”   But I digress.  Being connected can come in handy in many situations.  I, for example, use it in my yoga practice.

Michael Jackson died yesterday.   He was the King of Pop, sold more albums than anyone else in history, was an icon throughout the world, and at the time of his death owed a half billion dollars and stood accused of heinous crimes against children. What a life.  So how does this fit into a blog on Higher Consciousness?

How The Other Half Thinks

Stealing Elections, Being a Dictator, and Higher Consciousness

I received an email from an old friend the other day for the purpose of trying, once again, to convince me why the right is right.  The scary part is that the story it told and the example it contained portrays quite accurately the way a large part of our population really do think and act.

So is there anyone in America who didn’t think that Ahmadinejad was going to rig the vote in Iran, come out the winner, and be elected to another term?  If so, shame on you for being so naive.

Hooking Up Jun 10, 2009 08:11PM

When I wrote the last post on Twittering I didn’t expect to be back covering social interaction issues so soon, but a recent item on NPR makes this follow-up seem quite appropriate and connected.  Read more about Hooking Up

The Real Reason For The Recession – 1 May 11, 2009 10:03PM

Jun 2, 2009 09:02PM Economic pundits are amazing.  They have the answer to everything.  The day after the stock market rises over 100 points they will recount in precise detail the logic behind the day’s upswing and tell you the exact reason why the market was so optimistic.  And the day after that, when the market goes down that same 100 points plus… 

Every technological advancement, however innocent it may appear at first and benign it may seem to the masses, has its evil underbelly that festers behind the scenes.  And though I’d be hard pressed to find anyone under the age of thirty who agrees with me…

Reflections on Prop 8 May 27, 2009 04:00AM

May 4, 2009 12:31AM It always strikes me as funny in a “black humor” sort of way that it is the people who most loudly and most prominently shout the Lord’s name who act so overtly against the Lord’s word.  Take war, for example.   Read more about Reflections on Prop 8

Call me a goody-goody, but personally, I don’t like it when people do nasty things to other people… like shooting them or blowing them up or burning their houses or any number of other things that can only be categorized as being very mean and anti-social.  Yes, there are times when the invaders march in over the hills…

Personal greed has not always been the driving force behind human self interest.  There was a time, long before the modern era, long before Capitalism and the rise of Hominum Economicus when individuals knew that they couldn’t make it out there on their own.   

There is certainly no question that Swine Flu, Mexico’s latest and most virulent export, has brought the world together, if only in making certain that we all stay separated.  While reactions around the globe have varied…

Human consciousness is currently going through a major evolution.  In the same way that our mind evolved out of pre-human mind so long, long ago, adding new and undreamed of capabilities to animal mind, a new mode of awareness seems to be generating

Meaning and Measurement Apr 13, 2009 05:42AM

Just over three hundred and fifty years ago René Descartes looked around at his world and realized there was a lot that did not make sense, especially when he applied his method of experience, reason, and logic to the prevailing view of the day. Contrary to that view, which called for blind and unquestioning faith in the dictums of those in authority… Read more about Meaning and Measurement

Games Of Consciousness – Introduction Apr 13, 2009 05:42AM

I want to share my experiments with you… my experiments in consciousness. In one sense this should be no more difficult than the task faced by any researcher who has studied a subject and wishes to offer the objective results of that study to those fellow scientists who are interested. All I need do is to explain my methods, allow you to duplicate them in your laboratory, and let you come to your own conclusions. Read more about Games Of Consciousness – Introduction
