inanga > The Polymath I'll let wonderful wiki do all the talking: "Walter Russell (1871–1963) was an American polymath, known[1] for his achievements in painting, sculpture, architecture, and for his unified theory in physics and cosmogony.[2][3] He posited that the universe was founded on a unifying principle of rhythmic balanced interchange. This physical theory, laid out primarily in his books The Secret of Light (1947) and The Message of the Divine Iliad (1948–49), has not been accepted by mainstream scientists.[4] Russell asserted that this was mainly due to differences between himself and scientists in their assumptions about the existence of mind or matter.[5] Russell was also proficient in philosophy, music, ice skating, and was a professor at the institution he founded, the University of Science and Philosophy. He believed mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed.[6] In 1963, Walter Cronkite in the national television evening news, commenting on Dr. Walter Russell's passing, referred to him as "... the Leonardo DaVinci of our time."[7]" dedicated to Walter Russell, a man before his time...

inanga > Marty and i learning Life Mastery Mary-style I had the pleasure recently of meeting the most gentle of men. One was named Marty and he is centered above. He taught me about reptiles and the ancient Eastern Martial Arts. I promised to provide him with information on Aotearoa's ancient creature - the tuatara. Hey Marty this is as good an opportunity as any, so here goes. The tuatara is old, very old. It predates the dinosaurs that perished in the Jurassic, and is reliably reported to be 260 million-years-old and yet still survives as a distinct species. It is the only survivor of the Sphenodon Class. It has a third-eye that is still highly photo-sensitive to light and fully operative. [Marty, they spend hours staring directly at the Sun because it activates calcite crystals in their pineal-gland-equivalent initiating a second harmonic generation process whereby incoming and splitting photons leave with equal frequency and third-phase entangled.] As I said Tuatara is a Class of its own, similar to Reptilia. I suspect that Sphenodon punctatus, still living, was the only member of TUATARA Class. The correct taxonomic sequence is: Kingdom Animalia; Phylum Chordata; Subphylum Vertebrata; Class TUATARA; Order Sphenodontia; Family Sphenodontidae; Genus Sphenodon; and one species only of the entire Class SPHENODON PUNCTATUS. I agree with you, tuatara are more dinosauric thus birdlike than reptiles, hence the exposed vertebra. Curiously, the diet of tuatara is Clematis (a local climbing plant), kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum) with properties similar to the indole alkaloids of kavakava, and several weta species (the largest insect in the world and also endemic to NZ). I will send some pictures to www.northernberksreptileshow.com and you can use them if you wish. I got some great pics of Henry, currently imprisoned in Invercargill, New Zealand, when I was working there for Lonely Planet. Wiki gives this news: "Tuatara eggs have a soft, parchment-like shell. It takes the females between one and three years to provide eggs with yolk, and up to seven months to form the shell. It then takes between 12 and 15 months from copulation to hatching. This means reproduction occurs at two- to five-year intervals, the slowest in any reptile.[11] Wild tuatara are known to be still reproducing at about 60 years of age—"Henry", a 111-year-old tuatara at Southland Museum in Invercargill, New Zealand, became a father (possibly for the first time) on 23 January 2009.[50][51]" The oldest living creature on earth - the tuatara - is considered here to be the Keeper of the Twelve Kete [Baskets] of Knowledge, an appellation it shares most probably because of its manipulation of serotonin, melatonin and epitonin in third-eye visualization - SUN, MOON and SOMA as discussed. I treasure the chance to meet you again so we can do some Sufi spinning and enjoy a laugh. Jeff thanks to Helen Gale for the great photo of Marty and I.
inanga > Avocado Sunset, St Louis, Missouri i had the privilege of visiting St Louis when i wrote the 'Plains States' for the first Lonely Planet US guide. i was fascinated with St Louis as one of my heroes Thomas Stearns (TS) Eliot was born in that city. He said that it inspired 'The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock', one of my all-time favorite poems. Here is what wiki says: 'In 1915 Ezra Pound, overseas editor of Poetry magazine, recommended to Harriet Monroe, the magazine's founder, that she publish "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". Although the character Prufrock seems to be middle-aged, Eliot wrote most of the poem when he was only 22. Its now-famous opening lines, comparing the evening sky to "a patient etherised upon a table," were considered shocking and offensive, especially at a time when the poetry of the Georgians was hailed for its derivations of the 19th century Romantic Poets. The poem follows the conscious experience of a man, Prufrock (relayed in the "stream of consciousness" form characteristic of the Modernists), lamenting his physical and intellectual inertia, the lost opportunities in his life and lack of spiritual progress, with the recurrent theme of carnal love unattained. Critical opinion is divided as to whether the narrator leaves his residence during the course of the narration. The locations described can be interpreted either as actual physical experiences, mental recollections, or even as symbolic images from the sub-conscious mind, as, for example, in the refrain "In the room the women come and go." ' Across the 'river' from St Louis's famous arch are the Cahokia Mounds - hence the dream-catcher above. i have visited there also and i was fascinated with the pivotal location of the site, at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. For more on these see Another Roadside Attraction - the Treasure Hunt in this site. I left pounamu (greenstone) in many locations in the US when i was on my spirit quest - but not here under the arch. So with Google's Street cam, a wiki download and a painting of greenstone/pounamu (from Kuri's Big OE) amends have been made. Bernice, a friend of Ms P's, decided to send a message into the ether to her late father. Don, also born in Missouri, i hope you get this by ether-mail. courtesy of Picasa 3, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox 2009

inanga > FJ Holden Cafe, Hughendon, Queensland, Australia detail from 'Beyond the Town, Oz' And here is a great place to put AUSTRALIANA, by Austentayshus 'Sittin' at home last Sunday mornin' me mate Boomer rang. Said he was havin' a few people around for a barbie. Said he might Cook a burra or two. I said, "Sounds great, will Walla be there?" He said "Yeah and Vegie might come too". So I said to the wife "Do you wanna go Anna?". She said "I'll go if Ding goes". So I said to Boomer "What'll we do about Nulla?" He said "Nulla bores me to tears, leave him at home." We got to the party about two and walked straight out the kitchen to put some booze in the fridge. And you wouldn't believe it, there's Boomer's wife Warra sittin there tryin to plait her puss! Now, I don't like to speak ill o' Warra, but I was shocked, I mean how much can a Koala bare. So I grabbed a beer, flashed me wanga at her and went out and joined the party. Pretty soon Ayers rocks in and things really started jumpin'. This Indian girl, Marsu, turns up, dying to go to the toilet but she couldn't find it. I said to me mate Al, "Hey, where can Marsu pee Al?" He said "She can go outback with the fellas, she's probably seen a cock or too". Well just then Warra comes out of the kitchen with a few drinks for everybody. Fairdinkum, you've never seen a cooler bar maid. I grabbed a beer and said, "Thanks Warra - tah". A couple of Queenslanders at the party, one smellin' pretty strongly of aftershave. He sat down next to me and I turned to him and I said, "Ya know mate, You reek o' Stockade!" It was a really hot day; Oscar felt like a swim. He said to Ina, "Do you want a have a dip in the river Ina?" She said "I haven't got my cossie Oscar". Well Bo says, "Come in starkers, what'll 'ey care!" Ina says "What, without so much as a thread Bo?" Ah, perish 'er thought! Has Eucum been in yet? Well a few of the blokes decided to play some cricket. Boomer says "Why doesn't Wom bat?" "Yeah, and let Tenter field". He said I should have a bowl but I was too out of it to play cricket so I suggested a game of cards. I said to Lyptus "Wanna game of Euca Lyptus?" He said "There's no point mate, Dah wins everytime." Well Bill said he'd like a smoke. Nobody knew where the dope was stashed. I said "I think Maree knows." But I was just spinning a bit of a yarn. Barry pulls a joint out of his pocket. Bill says "Great, Barry, a reefer. What is it mate?" "Noosa Heads of course. Me mate Ada laid 'em on me." And it was a great joint too, blew Mountains away and his three sisters. Well I thought I'd roll one meself, I said "Chuck us the Tally Ho Bart". He said "They're out on the Lawn, Ceston, can you get em for us?" Burnie says "It's okay mate, she's apples, I'll get em for ya" Just then Alice springs into action, starts to pack Bill a bong. And you wouldn't believe it, the bongs broken. I said "Lord, How?" "Hay-man" somebody said "Will a Didgeridoo?" I said "Hummmmm mummmm mummmmm mummmmm maybe it'll have ta." I look in the corner and there's Bass sittin there, not getting into it, not getting out of it, I said "What, is Bass straight or somthin?" Boomer said "As a matter a fact mate, he's a cop" I said "Ya jokin mate, a cop, I'm getting outta here, let's go Anna." She said "No way, I'm hangin round till Gum leaves. Besides, I don't wanna leave Jack around a party on his own. Have you seen him? I think he's trying to crack on to Woomba, he's already tried to mount Isa And he'll definitely try to lead you astray Liana!"
