Worker in the Light

[Frys Girl]

Here are some passages I've compiled from this "literary" work by George. They're not in any particular order. Basically, it's like the Book of Hafez poems; you can randomly open up the page and find something that will interest you. Except with Hafez, you find beauty and literary genius. With this asshole, you wonder WHY THE FUCK did he get a book deal?

Here goes:

Page 266, Chapter 13:
"What is your defense? I cite again the last line from one of my favorite poems, "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." It means that evil will come to him who thinks evil. So, if you can find a way not to think evil thoughts, conjure up evil ideations, you will have a defense against the coming of evil. How is this a defense against someone sending evil thoughts your way? It works because the sender of evil thoughts has projected himself into your mind. Your boss, for example, becomes a negative voice in your thoughts, challenging you, telling you you're not good enough, belittling you. So how do you keep him out of your thoughts? Send him love and good wishes. It's a way to keep him out of your mind. He pops up, give him love, he goes away."

Picture this. You're happy. You've seen a nice movie, had a nice evening, and now the day's over and you're going off to bed. Ooops, in pops Mr. Bad Boss. You interrupt your happy thoughts and engage this image. You will counter ill will with your ill will. Mr. Bad Boss has made you mad, made you hate, made you concentrate on evil. He wins.

Mr. Bad Boss goes on for 2 more pages. What BS. This is a book for adults as classified by the Library of Congress!

Page 131, Chapter 7:

"Most people think that to be a talk show host you have to be a great talker. I'm here to tell you that's a myth. Sure there are hosts that can keep an audience entertained for an hour, maybe two, but after that, the romance fades away. Want to know what makes a good talk show host? You have to be a great listener."

Basically be good at being silent and responding with stupid responses like George.  ;

Born for this Job? and how George is so powerful: P 28

"Some people train for the jobs they have. Other people seem to be born for it. I believe that I was born for this job of hosting Coast to Coast AM."

"You need logic in a job like mine, of course, because you have to be able to figure out what does and doesn't make sense. I learned to figure out when to turn the logic off and go by instinct and when to turn the logic back on. They're two different kinds of filters. It's a balancing act, which, when you learn to do it, can make you a very powerful person."

WOW!

Why do I have the feeling Snoory has never actually read Sir Gawain?  Or, if he did, it was under protest for some high school class.

Okay - I'm being a lit snob - if it was something common from, say, Shakespeare, maybe I'd buy it.  But, Sir Gawain - while hardly obscure - isn't' exactly pop-culture fair either.

Oh there's Shakespeare in there too. There are amazing pieces of bull shit in this book. I'm busy with some Whitman at the moment, but it's nice comic relief.

P 20, Chapter, "THE OUIJA BOARD":

"For every failure there's a fix. That's what you learn on the job". True! There is a fix for Snoory and it's called Knapp.

P 230 Chapter 12

George describes an elderly lady who calls and complains about not being able to remember her mantra three times per day - she calls it "Senior Moments". Here's George's response:
"There's no such thing as a senior moment. In fact, there is no such thing as forgetting, because everything is stored in the mind, like a recording tape."

Keep going... this is great... We approve!

Or, failing that - who's that Canadian guy? Syrette?

[Frys Girl]

Maybe we should be grateful George is in radio. Consider the alternative and HOLY SHIT!

Page 81, Chapter 4 "THE HUMANOIDS"

If you'd asked me what I wanted to be, way back almost 40 years ago when I was a freshman at the U of Detroit, at a time when the Midwest was just waking up to the words of Dr. Tim Leary and the lyrics of Jefferson Airplane (LOL!!!), and when the rumblings of change and protest were rolling out of Berkley (goddamn hippies!), to listening posts in the heartland of America, I would have told you in one word: Dumbass! Denist! Dentistry, the profession, ran in my family like a tradition and all of my relatives were dentists. My father was only too happy to see me join the profession. He agreed to pay my education bills (this is aka TUITION, Mr. Editor asleep??). It would have been a great deal. There was only one problem. I wanted to be an actor even more.

Sound the dramatic music please!
I dutifully studied chemistry, organic chem, algebra, physics, and all the other requirements. But the dream of being an actor flickered inside me like a candle in the darkness. Like the collective opprobrium of a Greek chorus, everyone told me that I was supposed to be a dentist. Plopping drops of orange and blue syrupy stuff through an eyedropper into a test tube just didn't turn me on.

OMFG/ WTF??? Basically, this story continues into a generic american story - immigrant kid changes major to communications. Dad doesn't speak to kid who wants to "chase his dreams". Sorry George, but daddy was right on this one. Maybe we can't blame George's dad after all. It was always his aunt Shafica....

This is SO BADLY WRITTEN - and he had a ghost writer.  WTF?!

Here is the google books copy. It's stunningly stupid. It really hurts to read this, considering the state of publishing today.

Good GAWD even the cover design sucks dead rat's ass.

The Worker in the Light had a senior moment the other night during the last houf or the 2012 show.  He called the last hour guest by the wrong name.  How much more forgetful can you get, I mean the guests name.  Put it on a post-it-note for goodness sakes.

I think it's clear why. It's just like when someone forgets your name - it means you're not important. Bad hosting etiquette. Nothing really new by George. These are just pawns to him. So is this stupid 2012. It's just a dumb theme to use for the show. He knows it's dumb and therefore doesn't tune in 100%.

2012 is the new Y2K. or Y2KXII

[11angeleyes11]

What if nothing happens on 2012?  Will George stay on or will he give up the cause?  I read somewhere that Art had really emphasized Y2K, and then when it did not materialize that his attitude shifted  and he lost some of his enthusiasm.  Maybe 2012 will be George's Y2K. 

I suppose that he can always fall back on his literary career and Wanker in the Light volumes.

Here's George's words on the subject. Vague, as usual. But here goes:
I am listening to a caller from east of the Rockies. She reminds me what I have told audiences for the past few years. I have said it on the air and I will say it right here. In 2012, the end of time according to the Mayan calendar, I have said I will retire. I want to be on the air in May 2012, when we encounter the end of time because I intend to report it as it happens and after that, I will stay on the air until they take me out in a box. (133)

That we need to go find him in his "cave" and carry a big-assed box.

Take him out is easy. But he can still get back in is the problem.

That depends on where we leave the box  ;

At a clown school.

That is certainly one viable possibility -- I had at the bottom of some river with bags of concrete in mind

Page 153, "THE ART OF LUCID DREAMING", where George teaches us to learn how to jump like "Superhero Michael Jordan" (126) and "hang on to impossibly slippery objects like the comic book Spiderman" (126) and avoids any lawsuits from people who puncture their faces with BIC pens.

"You can begin by writing down your dreams. Take a pen or pencil and a pad of paper or even your trusty PDA and set them within easy reach of wherever you're sleeping. For most people it will be a night table, but it should be anywhere within a quick reach. For safety reasons, I strongly caution you against putting a pen or pencil under your pillow. "

This book = horse shit without the positive nutrients.

[EvB]

this is tepid re-hash of every lame "new age" BS line out there - and when I say that you have to knwo I don;'t think EVERY "new age" line was BS - jsut too many for my comfort.  Anyway - there I've yet to see one original or insightful idea here. 

Barf - choke - hack

Someone tries remote viewing and George tells us about it on p 128, "THE PSYCHIC SUPERHIGHWAY, SHAMANISM, AND THE POWER OF DREAMS"

"The location was so alluring that while Smith was walking down a Manhattan street, he allowed his mind to float back there and the physical presence of that place became so real, Smith found himself falling over right on the street. He had come to the edge of an actual out of body experience. Unfortunately Times Square is not the best place to have one of those."

WTF?!!!!!!! And no, George doesn't expand on this.

Excuse me - I need to puke now  --

Carry on!

Try this exercise from page 197, chapter 10: THE PRACTICE: LEARNING HOW TO REMOTE VIEW

"Take in lots of healthy oxygenated air - as much as you can, and exhale deoxygenated air - as much as you can. It means taking deep breaths and expelling the used air out of your lungs. Sounds simple, right? But 90% of us don't do it! We have to learn how to do it."

Thanks to George Noory, more morons are using precious oxygen. Arrest George and ban this book!
