Midnight In The Desert

[albrecht]

I have seen 2 thunderstorms here in 15 years. The app would be cool but what I really liked was down in Texas sitting on the porch and you could feel the storm coming.

That is weird. I guess the mountains or ocean nearby? But we get storms on our coast? Oh yeah, I like storms. A while back I had an old house above the creek and limestone cliffs and the storms would come up and could watch and the echo/reverb would shake the hell out of the house. Another place, later, when the tv would show radar, also in similar situation we would all go out and drink beers and watch if it was "Mardi Gras" radar pattern, as a buddy dubbed it (due to the colors the tv radar shows for the worse stuff.) Good times. Only bad thing is the floods and tornadoes and such, that never effected me but so many others.

Best line of the night so far. " I didn't write that book. "

"colors that don't exist on earth......"  Wow, I'd like to see that color wheel!

Did you guys see this pic in the news lately? I thought it was cool.
"Pilot captures incredible nighttime thunderstorm photo over the Pacific Ocean"

That's an awesome picture.

[Dr_Blue]

That's an awesome picture.

Ya, I thought so as well. It looks even better as a larger pic. Here is a link that I hope works>

Arizona would be fine.  I'd prefer to be up around Flagstaff though where it is not so hot.

I live in AZ and it got to 115 degrees with 5% humidity last week.

Flagstaff?   There's a huge difference in climate in Flagstaff as opposed to other cities in the state.

Flagstaff is about 7000 ft in elevation - winters are somewhat bitter and very cold. The best elevations to live in AZ are between 3500 - 5500 ft.

I like the seasons.  I miss the snow.  I was in Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon in the middle of last November and there was a wonderful snowstorm that made for some great pictures.  Yeah, maybe it is a little extreme.  Drop down another 1000 feet and that will be fine with me.

G'night, Mr. Blue Sky.

Most of you already know this but for those who missed the memo, "

Take care DR_Blue.

[TigerLily]

Hey Brother Logan. Hoping I would see you in real time so I could welcome you back before you leave again.  How much longer are you here?

[Dwindling Stacks]

There are no boring questions tonight. Nothing but excellence.

It's also nice to have callers that can form coherent thoughts.

Does Heather play any Cusco? I only listen to Noory for Cusco.

I guess that you are right. I'm going to stop posting now on Bellgab now. For good.


Don't respond to this post or any of my other posts, everyone. I won't reply. Good Bye.

Sedona is lovely. Sierra Vista and Bisbee are also nice

for the record, was all her Noory shitposting before or after her enlightening NDE?

When she discussed her NDE a while back, I believe (but am not 100% certain) she said she had it ~2010.  I do not know when Heather's account dates from, so you will have to do the math on that.

Also, I think it is one thing to be presented with an enlightening experience, quite another to take it on board and incorporate it into your life so that it becomes a part of the way you live (as opposed to something you merely trot out from time to time in a "look at me" sort of way).

In 1939, at age 21, U.G. Krishnamurti* met with Ramana Maharshi**. U.G. related that he asked Ramana, "This thing called moksha, can you give it to me?" - to which Ramana Maharshi purportedly replied, "I can give it, but can you take it?" [emphasis added]. This answer completely altered U.G.'s perceptions of the "spiritual path" and its practitioners, and he never again sought the counsel of "those religious people". Later U.G. would say that Maharshi's answer - which he had originally perceived as "arrogant" - put him "back on track". "That Ramana was a real McCoy," said U.G Krishnamurti.

I think that is what Raman Maharshi may have been trying to get at when he spoke to Krishnamurti: giving enlightenment is one thing, receiving it is quite another.  However, since my last name is not "Maharshi," I am left having to guess at this. 


*Not to be confused with Jiddu Krishnamurti
**Definitely not to be confused with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Not to be confused with Yogi Berra, not to be confused with Yogi Bear.

What?  No votes for Snotsdale Scottsdale?  A travesty, surely.

You can't beat the Grand Canyon for the most stunning snow pics, or for the most stunning pic year round.

You're one of those coherency theorists I see.  Cool!  We got jackets!!!
