How to Neatly Work With Images In WordPress’s Visual/HTML Editor

Editing images and text in WordPress precisely how you’d like it to look can be a tricky task. So I decided to write a blog post to save people all the time that I’ve lost and the stomach ulcers I’ve formed while trying to get this USELESS PIECE OF SHIT TO DO THE SIMPLEST FUCKING TASK.

Step 1 – Obtain Revolver

Obtain a revolver from your local licensed dealer or your local criminal if Anti-Gun Laws are in effect in your locality. The type of gun for this task isn’t really a big issue, because this wont matter to anybody in about 5 minutes….

Step 2 – Strategically Place Weapon

Place above mentioned gun in your mouth. Any old angle will do as long as it’s lower than a 60-degrees. Again… these details wont matter very much to anyone after the job is done.

Step 3 – Blow Your Fucking Brains Out

This has to be the most important step of all 3. Blow your fucking brains out. Because that EXACTLY what you’re going to want to do in no time at all if you expect to get any realistic fucking results from this piece-of-shit software. You might as well cut to the chase and avoid having your final feelings being that of pure rage, uneasiness, and victimization. Check-out while the going’s good.


But really… on a serious note… how come people haven’t gone FUCKING SPASTIC at this?

Do people actually use this software to do anything more sophisticated than type crap?

Every time you try to do whatever a normal HTML page aught to be able to do, eventually you’ll find that the image positioning is all fucked up EVEN THOUGH THE SOURCE CODE HASN’T CHANGED ONE FUCKING BIT.

FUCK YOU WORDPRESS!



What I’ve Been Up To – Journal Entry

I haven’t done anything with the Lynx & Lucia website for a few weeks now because I’ve been working on a new project; An Internet radio station.

EVRN.net is the web address. I’d appreciate everyone’s support in this new venture of mine because before writing and after Magick, my favouritist thing in the world is radio. I don’t have much of an audience, I’m not responding to any unfilled niche, I just have a desire to broadcast TRUE RADIO. Good music of all sorts, local music, and people sharing what matters to them.

As we celebrate mediocrity, all the boys upstairs wanna see how much you’ll pay for watcha used ta get for free

Tom Petty sang it well in “The Last DJ”. In a world where mediocrity reigns, where beauty takes a backseat, and the media has been so co-opted by propaganda and misery to the point no one wants anything to do with any of it, I alone am standing up for what radio has to offer Humanity. I alone am standing up for the dream that once was and is now lost. All these radio stations now days either play what’s on the charts, stick to one genre religiously, or disseminate pure rubbish that clogs up our minds and weighs heavy on our Hearts. What I’m doing is introducing you, the listener, to a range of GOOD MUSIC that you most likely haven’t heard as well as some that you have, taken from all genres, to give you a unique listening experience. I’m also bringing folks on from many perspectives in life so that your head remains clear and your Heart remains light.

So please tune in with me Monday thru Wednesday 8PM (GMT) to 11PM, and on Saturdays (9PM) and Sundays (3PM) if I feel up to it. Give a call in, pop into the chatroom, and get involved as Eclectic Vibrations Radio is a Human Service (much like a Public Service, but for Humans) and is only enhanced by your participation.

And if you like the way we sound, bring your friends along to listen!
And check out the How You Can Help EV Radio Grow page. I can’t stress enough how I need much I need YOUR support over the next few months as I know there is an audience out there for me, but due to the increasing amount of “white noise” on the Internet and in the real world, they don’t know they’re my audience yet!

The first few weeks have been long and hard, but it’s been loads of fun. I really feel like I’m in my element, and it shows me that I do have what it takes to have my own slice of the world while I’m here.
As a Sensitive I allowed the world to crush me. I fought back in my own way. I learned my lessons. And I tried my best to be fair and diplomatic the whole way through. But it finally crushed me, degraded me, and left me feeling alone and afraid. It was only after several months of self-pity and hermetically stealing myself away from the world that I learned that I AM ALRIGHT and that my intuitions about this Human world were correct – it IS a place of confusion, pain, and denial, and that’s all the more reason for a person like me who’s been through the worst of it to come forth and give a space to those still suffering under the weight of The Babylon Matrix.

Come visit my site again soon, and do tune in.



“Straddling The Line” – Social Expectations and Boundaries

My friend Haley made a Youtube video tonight called “Straddling The Line”. This video struck a chord with me, so much so I thought it’s worth sharing on my site. Give her a listen, and you might learn a bit about yourself as I have.

 



Is the Occupy Movement Really Infiltrated?

I’m not Occupy. But I’m also not not Occupy. I’m an individual – I want to live in clarity and share that clarity. For that reason I’m sharing my thoughts concerning The Occupy Movement which I feel are reasonable and balanced.

For a lot of people the beginnings of the Occupy Movement are suspect. For a lot of people it’s been hijacked. For a lot of people this effort is vain and useless. And for another lot of people this is the best thing since sliced bread.
And everyone thinks they’re right.

Obviously The Occupy Movement is a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and for this reason I believe it’s worthy of closer inspection as it is something that is actually going on – it’s “happening” in a way that literally no one could conceive of in this age. This, I believe, is an opportunity for Novelty (in the Terence McKenna definition) as people of many stripes, talents, and learnings converge in their local city and begin to co-operate. A disruption in the usual Programming that makes the likelihood of us LEARNING SOMETHING about ourselves and our world much greater.

So what is Occupy, REALLY?

An idea! Literally that. Whoever you want to say had that idea FIRST (the U.N., U.S. Military, SRI, or NWO or whatever) doesn’t really matter anymore. It began in America – Wall Street in New York City. It was started by the long-standing activist group AdBusters and supported by a handful of other organisations – Tent city, Occupy Wall Street manifested. And the times that we’ve living in brought this to the attention of the International community. With the help of the Internet, individuals used their social networks to organise Occupations of their own. This is literally how it happened.
There have certainly been individuals touring all of the Occupy camps doing their best to impose their vision onto the people. But these were rarely a success outside of America. There have also been organisations and teams of bullies and conmen who try to direct their local camp towards their particular ideology and they fail very often as well.

What I’m trying to do here is paint a picture of where Occupy isn’t actually an International organisation with strict guidelines, laws, and hierarchies. The only common thing you’ll find at any Occupy is the list of Demands that AdBusters published when they scheduled the protest. So we can look beyond the name and title and consider it as a flaky ideology or a precedent that was set in America so Irish men and women may Occupy Galway and enjoy the immunity of a completely new social paradigm.
Even if the U.N. or SRI or whoever wanted to control what’s going on here, they couldn’t. It’s not actually possible to fool the healthy mixture of Conspiracy Theorists, anti-Capitalists, visionaries, lovers, and ordinary people that frequent most of the camps. And if you don’t think so, then please attend your local Occupy and make sure they don’t control it. We’ve got an opportunity here to do something brand new and inspire our brothers and sisters to acknowledge a different way of sharing the planet.



Open-Letter to the Truth Movement and Spiritual Seekers for 2012

I’m writing this because I think at this point in Earth’s transition into freedom someone has to say it, and I’d like the courtesy of the reader’s full attention as I think it’s the key to our ultimate success as a movement.

Where We’re At

The more receptive of us have noticed a change that has been occuring in people in general and in themselves – this has become most noticeable in the past two weeks (since Jan 1st 2012); at the least to me, my friends, and correspondences across the country. The people are making more informed decisions in various ways every day. This is great, but it demands that we take repeatedly newer and fresher looks at the world around us to truly find what matters – one thing we need a fresh look at is who we were over the past 10,000 or so years.

Where We Were, and Still Are At

Man is a slave species – he exists in a world of various caste systems, the most predominant of which is the caste system of violence.
We all too often place things at the feet of the people collectively known as The Illuminati without realising that we (Humans) are their neurological children. They’ve completely transformed how we treat each other and the world. When we see the travesties unfold on national and international levels executed by the elite class, we either deny or forget that it’s thanks to us (the worker ants), who in our own little ways contribute our power to those few, that these actions can be taken.

Mankind has had an age-old tradition of being answerable to others and having others answerable to them. We’ve spent most of our intelligent existence building empires and networks out of Violent  Power instead of Powerful Love. When I say Love, I’m referring to relationships that are predicated upon a mutual attitude of respect and fairness. When we build relationships today we limit or destroy the dreams and opportunities of our inferiors because we fear being out-shone or replaced by them and we only serve the dreams and opportunities of our superiors so they wont kill us (or otherwise make our lives hell) and maybe one day they’ll throw us a bone. Now DON’T YOU DARE tell me that you’re not this person in one way or another – because this is the disease we’ve contracted and get a top-up of every day.

This is a program that will take either a day or your entire life to reverse, it’s a tough nut to crack and is a process. Love and acceptance for where you are and your personal process is a must.

How It’s Changed

Whatever kind of Truther or Seeker you are, whatever you believe is happening in the world: Corrupt government, usury-banking cartels, CIA cocaine and heroin running, mind control programs, political mind control, war – none of this will actually end until we base our relationships upon Love. When I respect you and your personal experience as a Human Being, your goodwill, and your desires and needs, when I observe fairness in our relationship and you return that favour to me then we both feel a little more enthusiastic about offering OURSELVES all of these courtesies.

Respecting our own boundaries, our dreams, and our own experience & Human journey is the most empowering thing to experience as a Human Being. NO DRUG can give you this. NO RELIGION can give you this. NO ASSOCIATION can give you this. NO 12 STEP PROGRAMS can give you this. NO NEW AGE THERAPY can give you this. And when you’re at that point in yourself, in your center, you can achieve things that none of the above can give you either.
It’s been called Existential Facticity; being totally aware that you’re alive and will soon come to physical demise. Ideally every Moment you should remember “I’m Going to Die” and then act accordingly, make one more healthy choice. If you can’t think this clearly, just imagine that you can and act as though another would act if he or she had this revelation.

We need to stop flinging ourselves against the boundaries of other peoples’ realities. We do quite a lot of that. If we’re not tormenting ourselves over trying to make “their world” fit with the new world we’re re-learning about, we’re physically putting ourselves in the presence of people who we know live life under a different rule-book. A lot of the Truth Movement torture themselves by constantly reading about the social and moral decay in the outside world or having COLLISIONS with people of differing mentalities.
I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to do that! Especially not in this year of 2012. At this point in time enough people know that there’s something terribly wrong with the way we all live and the state of our environment (socially, morally, and ecologically): It’s now THEIR CHOICE alone to go and find the solutions to the problems that they have a new-found sensitivity to. This is an event that is happening all by itself and cannot be stopped by anyone – least of all the elite class who are unbelievably divorced from reality.

When we have all successfully stopped projecting our inadequacies and concern (for ourselves) onto others and accepted the responsibility that comes with each fleeting Moment then we will think about what matters to US as individuals – we discover our strengths and the Love inherent in inside us, and we begin to create our own internal world from which comes gifts, creations, and loving service to others.
Plenty of philosophers, great intellects, famous entertainers, artists, philanthropists, teachers and professors, and Spiritual leaders have told us repeatedly that “The Powers That Be” consider the truly empowered and individualised man to be it’s primary enemy. The ultimate reason being that the empowered and individuated Human has a sense of immediacy about his life and is moved by both the great sadness and great joy that comes with life in Western Culture and is driven to spend the few years of his existence DOING AND BEING PRECISELY WHAT HE CHOOSES in both a mood of ultimate Selfishness and a genuine Heart-felt desire to leave a strong Loving impression upon all those he or she meets and a wide an audience as possible.

When a man or woman who is firm within their center and gives a genuine impression of being excited and engaged in all that life has to offer, with a willingness to follow through in their vision of their lives – PEOPLE RECOGNISE IT ON A FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL. A switch inside their very Soul flips, no matter how suppressed. Their inner being recognises the world as a safe place again and begins to release and allow their true nature to shine through.

Ultimately we’re all here to have a good time, and there is a way for us all to have a good time without anyone getting hurt (unless someone’s into that kinda thing, which is why we have Courts).

 This is the impression I intended to convey.

Further, optional, reading

Why we don’t see much of this in our fellow Human Beings is quite clear. If you’ve done your homework well, you’d know that our entertainment and media industries have both been born from Puritanism (Calvinism) and later infiltrated and co-opted by Lucifarianism (if you will). When you become famous enough to impact a substantial enough number of people you are in one form or another compromised or threatened to put an ideological buffer on your artistic output and PR.
Politics suffers the same process, as a man or woman is naturally compromised the higher in a political structure they climb.
A Doctor trained as a GP/MD or any other speciality has more incentive to tow the line he was trained into than branch into more healthy and scientifically-valid medicines unless they go through a spiritual experience or are otherwise impacted by the power of these new and old medicines.
Lay staff, paramedics, nurses, mental-care staff aren’t up-to-date with the newest discoveries in subtle medicines and the psychology of experience.
Teachers and Administrators have no idea what their environment and curriculum does to the Minds of their children – they’re unaware or remaining ignorant of the ancient understandings of Education (Greek; to draw knowledge out of) and the recent discoveries of the Mind and needs of children.

Very few people in these industries are truly living from their Hearts. Is it any surprise then that the common man hasn’t a clue? Like I said, we’re a species programmed into the Dominator-Slave mentality – these people do many great things and they’ve been rewarded magical pieces of paper from the Universities, Colleges, and Institutions that, if not consciously, we subconsciously feel we should attend if we are to amount to anything. They “should” be setting the right examples for us and fail miserably in doing so.

Laying about waiting for the next Zeitgeist movie, the next book, the next lecturer, the next religion, the next social paradigm, or the aliens or the Second Coming to fill those various Role Model-shaped holes in our faulty integrity we should be looking at the parts of us who require these things for us to feel as though “This is When I Become Who I Am”.
Everyone from David Icke, to Michael Tsarion, to Krishnamurti, and countless others have told us this, but what does it REALLY MEAN?

That’s your homework for the next month…



Anti-Household Tax Protest – Galway – January 9th

The people of Galway joined forces on Monday, about 150-strong, and rallied outside The Galway City Council and eventually inside the Council to make their demands for justice concerning the incoming Household Tax which will hit rich AND poor with a flat fee regardless of living conditions.

There have been rumours spread around that protesters, when inside the Council building, threw objects like chairs and office equipment around the place. What the believers and conduits of this lie don’t realise is that the protest was pre-planned and under the supervision of the Gardai. When a Garda is present, damage to public property and endangering of lives in a public space is immediately punished through force-of-Law. This is clearly another attempt to demonize the few common people standing up for the rest of us.

According the Connaught Sentinal, when the interrupted Council Meeting resumed, former Mayor Michael Crowe called the protesters the “lowest form of humanity” and said our actions were “despicable”.
If anyone has a healthy eye sight and takes a good look at all the people in the video above they’ll see that this is a very diverse group – most of whom are well-dressed and well-educated. Does Michael Crowe actually believe what he said? Was there an ulterior (lying piece of shit) motive behind it? If not, then let’s examine his claim. He wasn’t making this judgment based on the appearance of these people as some of them were as well-dressed as he was! They didn’t look diseased or in any way neglectful whatsoever. He was calling average people “the lowest forms of Humanity”, putting the compliant tax payer who continually tightens his belt with a smile and “Societies Managers” (like him) ABOVE the average man.
You and I are lower than bums. We’re lower than unemployed scroungers. We’re lower than complete pricks who live off handsome salaries and handsome retirement payments at the expensive of others’ welfare. This is the Mind of a man who has completely and utterly lost touch with reality and he represents a system and a culture that no longer registers reality.

They want to shut us up. Peripheralize us. Demonize us. Fit us in some kind of box so that we can be explained away ideologically or Legally legislated against as a group/idea. They want to remove Occupy Galway too – as I’m sure they want to remove all the Occupations.

Keep up the good work, Brothers and Sisters, and remember that the Kingdom of “Heaven” resides WITHIN and nowhere else.



My Friends

While visiting my good Polish friends, I got a few nice shots of them “in their natural habitat”.

Bob and his cat

Bob was playing his new game, Skyrim (the latest craze), and I thought I was just capturing his entranced profile. Later the guys were leafing through my photos and spotted the cat, fixed perfectly in the bottom-right corner in that strange posture – with that cold and knowing look on his face.

Marek & Claudia

Marek was obviously in the middle of passionately explaining something. It was by chance I caught this priceless look on his face. The oval curve of his mouth, staring into a fixed point in space. Exciting conversation.



Train Ride

I was lucky enough that my dear mother gave me a HD digital camera for Christmas. My first video project was out the window on the Galway to Dublin train near evening. My SD card only had memory for 8 minutes (8 minutes = 4GB???), but it’s a great video sped up 1.25 times and put to Simian Mobile Disco’s “Sleep Deprivation.

Please thumb this up and comment, I’d like to get as much “feedback” as possible. I like making meaningless videos, and I’d like my meaningless videos to be worth watching. This is also a nice profile of what Ireland looks like at the beginning of the 21st Century.

The train runs out through Galway’s Suburbs and almost seamlessly passes through Oranmore – then after another 5 minutes (in real time) journey through rural Galway reaches Athenry. Sadly I ran out of memory on the camera by time we passed Oranmore. It would have been nice to wrap up the video pulling into the very modern super-lit Athenry Station – maybe when I buy a bigger SD card.



Wearing The Heart

Today I learned how to do something, and I want to share it with you. I tend not to share what I’ve already comprehended and interacted with, so read the following with that in mind.

You can call this ritual, meditation, or what-have-you, but these are just words for “endeavor” in a spiritual or self-development context. Meaning we’ve made routine and predictability of our spiritual practices. This is more of an “act”, a confluence of both a sincere or curious attitude and a genuine choice to integrate and Transcend one’s own pain and fears. I’ve come to call this practice The “Wearing” of the Heart. The name wasn’t given to me, and I didn’t think it into existence, I felt it and then put words to it – I felt as though I was wearing my Heart. If this little “act” tickles your imagination and you can get something out of this, you’ll probably get why it’s named so. Many cultures have placed an energetic vortex or “point” of divinity at the center of the chest. The Greeks believed the Soul to reside in the center of the chest. We don’t have to go into how all our attention has turned to the brain (3rd Eye) of late and the overshadowing of man’s Heart in that process, but it helps the following exercise to mention it so you have an opportunity to observe how much of your attention is right inside your head and how that center of focus/awareness may or may not travel around your body throughout the day. A certain Shaman once told me that his tradition calls this a man’s “Assemblage Point”. The point of where your focus tends to rest or lie in your body. It strengthens that area energetically and that aspect of your being in your personality. So observe your attention over the next few days, what part of your body you “act” from. This is the first step in “loosening it” and being able to guide it.

Wearing The Heart

Stylize this as much as you want, make it yours, and do it spontaniously – in other words enjoy it, otherwise it’s useless to you. Find yourself quiet space in friendly surroundings. Darkness is a good idea, to increase melatonin. Fix your attention on that part of your chest, feeling your body there. Be aware of it’s inherent strength as the core of your being, possibly even imagining this as a resplendent beaming glow. When you give this attention to any of your power-points you’ll feel that it begins to “stick”, you don’t have to focus, because it has your attention. Go deeper into that intimate awareness of that part of your body. Now open up that closet of yours, grab a skeleton or two, and throw them into that Alchemical fire in your chest. Whatever may actually be on your mind that you’re ready to let go of, pull them right into your Heart. You may feel this as a physical sensation and an eatherical cleansing. It’s important to mythologize your past and present (your Life), but there are normally artifacts in both that can’t possibly be digested by the Mind. These psychic objects are very real to the Mind and trigger Cognitive Dissonance and may also go on to trigger emotional states throughout the whole of the body. This is what this “act” is for. We only grow beyond what we decide to grow beyond, when our Minds decide to finally hand over responsibility for things that it has no personal hand in and allows the Heart to hold an equal footing. The Heart assumes it’s responsibility of reminding you of the infinite source of strength you hold and the Mind is free to engage in a world without pathological anxieties. I’m not promising that this little practice will bring you to that equilibrium, but I know the equilibrium exists and if this practice doesn’t eventually bring you there then the question remains for you: Then what WILL bring >>YOU<< there?



What “Occupy” Means to ME

I want to preface this by saying that I’m speaking for myself and on my own behalf. I’m not heavily involved with the “Occupy Movement”, and even if I was I’d still only be speaking on my own behalf. I’ve also never been to any other Occupy except Galway and I don’t read/watch about them either.

I can summarize everything by saying; Unless you’re involved with Occupy you DON’T have an opinion about it – you have speculation. You can’t complain about where this movement might end up if you’re contributing nothing to it. This is true of everything in life as we’re all Free Agents doing our own thing.

I spent a few days with Occupy Galway and I’m impressed by everything that’s going on. I made a blog post back in mid-October (2011) entitled Occupy Galway: An Ever-Evolving Idea? *new tab* where I added a few nice pictures of Week 1 & 2 and suggested that this “project” is an open channel for people of all sorts to come to the table with something innovative and empowering. I have to say that I haven’t seen much more people coming to the table since a month ago: No less than I expected, but no more than I expected either.

Plenty of people, about 30 of them (with a good 100 coming and going and several thousands of signatures), have converged at Occupy and do their best to keep everything running and broadcasting a message. Innovation is the key word here as the group has had to deal with “growing pains” in the form of complaining at each other about a lack of division of labour (as it’s FULLY voluntary), to having to move for the Christmas Market (in Eyre Square), to observing exactly how this kind of group dynamic needs to be managed by each individual – they’ve come out right on top.
There’s always enough food, always enough water, always (just) enough warmth, and enough determination to make sure the mission stays on track. They’ve since erected a marquee to hold meetings in, assemble in, cook in, and for a “livingroom away from livingroom”. The winds are picking up, so the resident carpenter is well on the case securing it with wood.

Most people respect our message considering we’re in Galway – the student and partier capital of Ireland – and a lot of them call by to discuss their concerns about the world and to learn a thing or two from us. We all welcome everyone who approaches the camp with the warm smile we all deserve to be greeted with. Always willing to have a chat, fix up a cup of tea, and give shelter from the elements.

But there’s something dreadfully missing – and that’s you. As able as Occupy Galway is to take care of themselves that’s not the end goal at all. The end goal is to involve everyone, respecting each individual’s gift to the world, and perhaps coaxing that out of you. Perhaps giving the space, the podium, the spotlight, the one thing we deserve – a chance to live our passion and share that with the wider community. Our culture as it stands now is not just “not open to that”, it’s actually in fear of it and conspires against it. If you haven’t noticed, there has been a war going on for a couple 1,000 years ON YOU. On a part of your Soul that you’ve perhaps forgotten or forgotten to foster within yourself. That magical thing that ONLY YOU can be.
And that brings me to what Occupy really means to ME: In every great movement, burst of collective inspiration, the tendency is to jump the gun and leave behind the greater bulk of individuals that actually comprise Humanity. Without that majority, decisions WILL BE MADE by the people who are involved and it runs the risk of losing touch with “the real world” that you and I live in. It’s also impossible for anything to liberate you unless you’re in the process of self-liberation. It’s my determination that coming together in this way is a part of this self-liberation.

So if you’re not there – you’re square. And when the train leaves you can’t start complaining about where it goes and who’s onboard. So do the right thing and get involved in your local Occupy. Flood out any potential hierarchies that may arise with rampant individualism at the highest density. There’s a lot of talk about infiltration or whatever, or that this may ultimately play into the hands of the New World Order: but that would be impossible if the people-in-the-know are just FUCKIN SPECULATING and not adding to the cross-fertilization of ideas that Occupy is.

OCCUPY YOUR HEART
