  <description>well, I&apos;ve been busy with music a lot these days.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a Novation Launchpad for use with Ableton and I am loving how intuitive and LIVE it makes the software.  I&apos;ve also been digging in to Ableton and getting very excited about how powerful this program truly is... it makes me WANT to play gigs and get all &quot;scene&quot; and stuff.  I wish I still knew &quot;people&quot; etc...  it is just awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m currently using my launchpad, a nano-kontrol for lie mixing and two keyboard controllers (mpk49 and Novation remote 25 for those who care or know about these things)  coupled with Massive, Omnisphere, Absynth and sampling alongside my Virus Snow and I don&apos;t think I have had a more inspiring and creative rig in ages (maybe back to the psytrance days and all that hardware I used to play with)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am returning to the stage this weekend with John (my partner in Chemical Angel and long long long time friend) to do a noise/ambient/beat show.  It will be interesting in that I haven&apos;t played out in a while... but I&apos;m in it for the art and the fun of it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My hope is to take the new setup solo as well (or team up with someone I haven&apos;t considered yet) to do some more beat and groove driven Glitchy IDM stuff with the same rig.  Maybe play some coffee shops/art galleries... that sort of thing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has also been talk of reviving Chemical Angel and doing it far more live and spontaneous... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m looking forward to making music for people again and I hope I&apos;m genuinely able to find the time with everything else I am commited to these days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&apos;s to it!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;s</description>

  <title>i wonder id anyone&apos;s still around</title>

  <description>it has been ages since i have posted anything meaningful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i figured i might take a minute and update.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;most people hve nipped off to myspace, cancelled their myspace and ran away to facebook by now... and that&apos;s why i never see posts from them anymore i think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that&apos; not the case with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i just one day a couple of years ago decided that i was sick of &quot;hearing my own voice&quot; and shut up.  I often still read... and i kinda miss the folks here.  But I&apos;m terribly busy these days and have no real time for the online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An update:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a fourth son now.  We welcomed my son, Lucas Cuinn, to the world in April.  He was born premature and in the midst of mom&apos;s very bad high blood pressure (bed rest sucks, I hear!)  But he is happy, healthy and blessing us every day with little bits of vomit and a classic Aries temper... far and away the most explosive temper of any of my children (oh, yes, you can tell even at this age.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am currently the Sales manager of the local guitar center... it pays ok (though not great at all) and allwos me to have a job doing something i know well (pro audio and synth sales.)  Actuakly as the sales manager i don&apos;t really sell directly to folks as often as I like but I DO get to teach others and that&apos;s pretty cool.  My boss is impossible to work for and I may be looking for work here as I feel that I can&apos;t progress and promote up and away from this guy until HIS boss deals with him... and that could be a while (if ever) and I don&apos;t really have a while!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still make music, mostly drum and bass these days... but I left the band I was in last year and now my music work is hobby-ish since I have no meaningfuL NEED to producean little time to spend on it.  Its funny and ironic and stuff, because I finally have the means to have al the gear I want due to my employee discount and greater opportunity to build professional relationships in music due to all of the contacts i have at work... shrug&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not a whole lot else to report I&apos;m afraid.. i kind of have a policy of not dicussing the ol&apos; dharma any more (there were too many people making more of what I banged out on the interweb than was appropriate and no one benefits from the ignorant spouting ignorance... so i shut up!)  hmmm, what else since way back when?  shrug... I miss my friends, I have so few any more!  It&apos;s like the SIMS (that computer game) where you have to put all that work into calling and chatting or people feel slighted like they aren&apos;t important to you.  Most of the people I knew in the past few years were terribly important to me... and I&apos;ve never understood why time passing without words from one another should be so costly... i just don&apos;t get it!!!  My old friend Naomi was like me in that, we were best friends right away even if we only saw one another every few years.  i miss her too these days... wonder where she ended up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder a lot... hehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hit me back if you read this and care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;s</description>

  <description>got the wyclef jean album yesterday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as a musician i&apos;m humbled&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as a man i&apos;m embarrased&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as a human i&apos;m hopeful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it&apos;s really a really good album... it drifts into &quot;radio-pop&quot; now and again, but only a little... and even then, its the best music on the radio hands down... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Welcome to the East&quot; shows more thought and creativity (not to mention AWESOME production and mixing) than anything the trite, retarded and reactionary modern hip-hop scene has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;just a damned good album&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>healthcare in america is the most glaringly obvious example of how utterly BAD capitalism is as an economic device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the idea that something so important to the fabric of a community comes with a price tag... a fucking PROFIT margin.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Capitalism is not good, America is not good, Selfishness, Greed and Apathy are not good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every couple of days I vascialate wildly from satisfied to sick and fucking tired of it all.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its like the karmic pendulum is swinging so quickly I can no longer make sense of which extreme it&apos;s cutting through.  I&apos;m just clinging to it and shutting my eyes but it keeps moving faster, faster... Its a ride I can&apos;t get off of, but unlike most tumultuous madcap experiences it will only end when I do... Meditation, practice... its said these lead to whatever I seem to need... but i&apos;ve nearly stopped entirely.  Two years ago my world started collapsing, then it got worse... now I&apos;m supposedly through it, but i feel like i&apos;m just lying in the shambles of it all.  And its so thick, so fucking oppressive that even breathing takes work.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two posts here... not just one... and i suppose i&apos;ll likely delete one of them by morning... i hate the idea of all that hopelessness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>ok, so I&apos;m taking just a minute to post, cause i never do anymore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cause I&apos;m working my ass&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a horrible paying job, minimum plus sales commission.. if I ever get into the swing of consistent sales, i might make enough money to get by, heheh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;until then it&apos;s all about HOURS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve spent no time with my family in two weeks, because we REALLY need the pay this month.  I work from 1 to 11 every day, and i&apos;ve only hade like ONE DAY off since I started there... of course I&apos;m not complaining, I need the work and I&apos;m glad to have it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it does mean that I go like two days straight each week without seeing my youngest AT ALL.  and i really don&apos;t see anyone else much either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh,well, eh?  at least I&apos;m working, which is more than I could&apos;ve said last month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of course this means I am ABSENT from my life.  i suppose for now it must be one thing or the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>cool&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;try as i might i am undereducated for the jobs I qualify for, and over qualified for the jobs I am now applying for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guy at Target laughed at my last week for applying... because I, &quot;Should be mailing my resume, not walking in an app&quot;  not surprisingly I haven&apos;t heard back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guy at Guitar Center last night seemed determined to explain to me how the job could potentially make me, &quot;Half what I&apos;m accustomed to&quot;  I thought my answers in the interview made him feel pretty positive about hiring me... (at $8.00 hrs plus sales commision) but he said he&apos;d call me back last night, and he hasn&apos;t.  I called him this morning, and got brushed off after being on hold for 5 minutes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOTS of other jobs have come up similarly and not materialized.  I can&apos;t get call backs from the places I&apos;m qualified to work at... and no one else seems to think I will take working for them seriously because I have held responsible positions and made more money than they pay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the local temp agencies tell me, &quot;We aren&apos;t used to placing managers.&quot;  I say, &quot;I don&apos;t wanna be a manager, I&apos;m happy to work on the phones, etc...&quot; ... &quot;Oh, well, we are accustomed to placing students and young people with out so much expereince, but if something you seem suited to comes along...........&quot; apparently that hasn&apos;t happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thing is I can&apos;t coast on savings/windfalls anymore.  This will hurt, starting now... and I don&apos;t know what to do... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, it&apos;s the bitch and the whine.  shrug.  Not much else to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>ya know... i am reticent to post anything like real life in my journal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think its because i feel like i should be this thing we work toward rather than what we are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate that, cause i know better&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its stupid... of course there&apos;s no sense in it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i&apos;m ready to quit right now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ready to drop the whole fucking thing in someone else&apos;s lap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sick and worn and pretending not to be i will walk further down this pointless path &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;one day maybe i&apos;ll just stumble in to the bushes and take a long fucking nap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;doubtful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>so many are wishing the frosting on their cake was white instead of pink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its that simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we smush and fold our lives like oragami amateurs in these vapid attempts to get circumstances to appear as we expect them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;they don&apos;t.  they won&apos;t.  sometimes they&apos;ll seem to... but then we slide back down the crease of the colored paper and wonder how our swan ended up looking like an airplane.  and then we have the unmitigated gall to whine and cry about it.  LIKE WE&apos;RE SOMEHOW ENTITLED TO SWANS!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the truth is that the swan is just an angry goose with a crooked neck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we won&apos;t find what we need in a stranger&apos;s kiss... or a bottle... or in embracing what we think is &quot;US&quot; as we collide with our dreams and our feelings and the fears our parents taught us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not the circumstance of our living, not even our actions or our precious snowflake emotions that bring us happiness and suffering.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and therefore none fo these things will free us from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NONE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;shhhh... there&apos;s another opportunity to put a drink or two away.... another chance to orgasm on the vibrator of our desires... another time or place to glutton on senses and INPUT!  like swine at the feeding bin we stick our necks out and chomp chomp chomp on our shit.  On the dead!  on our own acrid, wasted flesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and dive headlong into what pains us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>it&apos;s been two weeks... haven&apos;t heard from unemployment... called... but the auto recording just say, &quot;Call back later&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haven&apos;t had any replies to my job search yet.  &quot;It&apos;s tough timing, at the end of the year,&quot; I hear...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waiting for final check from last job to bounce.  Because, the next to final check did...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now owe the bank $1800... if the final check bounces that debt will soar to $5200... cause, ya know, I deposited those payroll checks from the UNIVERISTY in my account assuming they would not bounce.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food&apos;s low... bill&apos;s are piling.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we don&apos;t make it, Tell my family I love them... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lost in the desert of NO MONEY!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cheers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE:  I have been denied unemployment.  Good thing I don&apos;t own a gun!  Seriously... &apos;cause this is how that shit happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <title>In which Our Hero Remains Unflapable in Some SERIOUS Wind... or, The Illusion of Stability</title>
  <link>http://porksound.livejournal.com/106141.html</link>
  <description>i&apos;ve been absent... i know... things are very hectic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here&apos;s my story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in October I travelled to Oklahoma on work.  I am a non-exempt, hourly employee.  In California hourly employees are paid for travel time to and from a work site that is out of town... even when it&apos;s overtime.  I asked my boss how to report the travel time as overtime since there is NO option for reporting overtime on the university and timecard and I was told, &quot;We don&apos;t do over time.&quot;  I said, &quot;Well, you must do overtime, it&apos;s illegal to not do over time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day my boss and her supervisor, the dean of our department, came in my office to tell me that my position may not be funded at the current salary due to some grant concerns but they were sure we could work something out.  They then proceeded to explain to me how the University won&apos;t pay overtime, &quot;It&apos;s not even covered by the federal grant...&quot;  but it was so unfair to not pay me for those hours so i should just falsify my time card &quot;under the table&quot; and claim it as comp time.  I was pretty surprised at this low ball strong arm style of management.  I was also a Program Director for 4.5 years and knew full well that they were breaking the law.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agreed, as I wanted to protect my salary and job.  I falsified my time card and took the &quot;comp&quot; time... and I sent an email to my boss explaining exactyl what I was doing, and that i was doing so because she ordered me to.  She replied, &quot;That&apos;s great Steven, thank you!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day work she had approved and appreciated was sent back to me to be re-written to maintain the University&apos;s &quot;LEvel of Excellence.&quot;  This was three weeks of work that she approved prior to the overtime discussion.  That same day there was a fire alarm and eveyrone in the office went out on the quad... I was conspicuously dissed like a high school freshman by the entire staff.  The next day my boss had me present the program to an engineering class and when I got there the entire point of the presentation had been misrepresented.  The professor was sure she was quite clear as to the point of the discussion.  Fortunately I REALLY know what I&apos;m talkng about when it comes to disability and assistive devices and I did quite well... but the set up was frustrating.  And after, my boss came in and accused me of sidetracking the presentation to my own concerns and not those of the program.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day I quit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have not ever in my adult life just walked off a job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 days later my boss acknowledged that I&apos;d quit and got my final paycheck out the same day.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 days ago the paycheck I received for hours worked in September (received on October first, 23 days before I quit) BOUNCED.  My bank account went $1780.00 in the red.  I expect my final check will do the same in the coming weeks.  Megan&apos;s account, which is with the same bank, was siphoned off to cover the negative in our joint account to the tune of another $350.00.  We now have .01 in our mutual accounts and about $30.00 in cash.  I wait to hear if I am eligible for unemployment.  I have been old that abuse and failure to pay and ordering me to falsify documents are legitimate reasons to quit but I&apos;ve been screwed like this before. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am filing a claim for wages with the Labor Board.  I&apos;m told ther is a hefty penalty for this sort of thing and expect to receive a nice chunk of change eventually.  But that will t5ake a couple of months.  Fortunately Meg works and we have enough cash for a few weeks... but Christmas is gonna be LAME.  I feel it&apos;s ok though, because gifts and money should never determine whether a good time is had... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously I&apos;m looking for work now... a lot.  Someone needs to tell the government that things aren&apos;t nearly as in our economy as they think.  I have been out of work for three weeks and have had not one offer for an interview.  We shall see, though... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, over the last few years I&apos;ve learned to trust life to work itself out.  Once I got old enough and wise enough to not sabotage my opportunities even the most dramatic events seemed to work themselves out to the good.  We will get through this and might even come out ahead in the end.  And all will be perfect, just as it is now, just as it was a moment ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but that&apos;s why you aren&apos;t hearing from me... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;early in the year it was my family and some mental health issues with my son... the time I took away to deal with them caused me to be passed over at my last employer for the two job saving positions when the grant ran out.  In July I passed on a job opportunity out of town, so he wouldn&apos;t be displaced again... he really needed (and NEEDS still) some stability.  Now it&apos;s other concerns.  it&apos;s been a LONG year.  hehehe... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All is perfected, all is just as it should be.  And these phantoms are simply my habits, my karma... I see it and I know it to be empty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>Today is Tokbul with Anam Tulku Rinpoche.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&apos;s it?  Anam Tulku Rinpoche is a guru, or Buddhist Lama, and my spiritual teacher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tokbul is a regular meeting where we discuss my meditation and stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually we just sit on the phone, not saying anything.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he says &quot;Thank you so much for calling, Steven.  It was wonderful to hear from you again.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I say, &quot;Thank you Rinpoche...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first I tried to think of things to say to him when I called... because the opportunity to speak with your lama can be rare and precious.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first he would say, &quot;Shhh, you are too smart.  Stop all that thinking.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we just sit, on the phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love my teacher.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>i haven&apos;t posted in forever and THIS is what I post?!?!?!?!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I know... but it tripped me out, man.  I would never have guessed.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grass is always greener... .. .... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way...  I LIVE IN SACRAMENTO...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;20&quot;&gt;

Sacramento is the capital of California and the seat of Sacramento County. It is located in the north-central part of the state at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You love to absorb everything you can from your environment and the people that live in it. You are highly cultured and appreciate diversity, which is a wonderful thing. Being &apos;in style&apos; isn&apos;t as important to you as just &apos;being&apos;...living and experiencing all that life has to offer, especially the Arts. You are a people-lover, and while you prefer a warmer climate, probably little will keep you indoors and away from all the action. And hey, San Francisco is just a skip and a jump away, too.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;img src=&quot;http://is2.okcupid.com/users/990/824/9918256287518720853/mt1122923620.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;20&quot;&gt;

  <description>Walking across the campus heading to your office a wind comes up.  It blows against your skin, cools your arms and face.  You bask in its power and think, “This immediate moment is pure and perfect.”  And, BAM, the wind goes right through you, at first you feel it in your bones, between muscle and sinew, in the cavity of your chest it howls and echoes in the chambers of your flesh.  Then, all at once there is no you for the wind to pass through, and no wind.  It is there, you feel the effect but you KNOW the truth.  The wind is a condition caused by other conditions.  And you are also.  This self, this body, this awareness, are all conditions with causes.  There is no INHERENT real thing here, just a made up conditional experience based on some other conditional experience just past.  Even YOU, this person, is all just a fabrication compiled of previous conditions coming together to cause the illusion of a thing.  And so the wind and the self become one, and fly away together in a meaningless, boundless conditional bundle caused by this realization.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the reason that the Buddha called things empty.  They are not just empty, they are empty of realness.  There is NOTHING that is not caused by some previous condition.  And therefore there is nothing that won’t be changed by new conditions.  Conditions are the causes of new conditions.  HAHAHAHAHA… there’s nothing HERE.  NOTHING!  Just a collection of forms arising from an empty bed of previous forms!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHOA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAHAHAHAHAHA!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let the effect of wind be the cause of whatever it pleases.  Let it cause leaves to push across the grass. They are simply effects caused by conditions.  Let it chill these bones and tussle this head.  Let the effect be the cause of a new effect.  MEANINGLESS.  PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL!  RIGHT NOW there is no fear, no fearlessness, no care or carelessness, NO PURPOSE or purposelessness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>I am in the middle of a three year dharma program with Anam Tulku Rinpoche.  We are studying the three &quot;yana&apos;s&quot; in Tibetan Buddhism.  The Hinayana, or basic path in year one, the Mahayana, or superior path in year two and the Vajrayana, or Diamond or bestest path EVAR! in year three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s been a very powerful experience already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This month Rinpoche asked us to write a short essay on the 4 Noble Truths of Buddhism to give him an idea on whether we get it at all... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&apos;s mine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course if you couldn&apos;t give a damn about buddhism or my buddhist experience you might just avoid reading this altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the Four Noble Truths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You begin an essay like this thinking, “How will I do my best to explain these ideas and sound real smart in order to please my teacher?”  I can go back and study the history of Shakyamuni Buddha and tell all about the events that led to his awakening.  Or I can read page after page of other people’s essays and try to describe what I have learned.  But these things would make for either a stale delivery of words on a page or simply be information I have no experience of.  And besides, my teacher has a far better grasp of the Four Noble Truths than I, he does not need me to educate him.  So I decided to simply list them and describe what I think they mean.  Based on my experience of them in my practice and my day to day experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first came to Buddhism I learned about the Four Noble Truths.  I could recite them and I could explain them some.  But I found a few years later that I had come to forget about them.  After studying and receiving teachings on Dzogchen I felt like the Four Noble Truths were elementary.  I believed them to be valid, and useful, but not worth a lot of attention once you had an understanding of them.  What I have learned since is that their profound meaning expands and becomes more educational every time I revisit them.  No wonder The Buddha began with these.  No wonder all of the great teachings in Buddhism reference the Four Noble Truths.  Without them, every thing else in my practice would be like magic or ritual.  All of Buddhism would simply be more distraction to puff myself up and make me proud.  Even meditation might become an activity of making me feel accomplished and special if I didn’t have the Four Noble Truths to remind me of the games my ego can play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, we are suffering.  This is not to say that we always hurt and should be miserable.  It just means that events are impermanent.  Things change.  The causes for the conditions we experience are determined by previous conditions.  We are caught in an ugly cycle of conditional experiences that may lead to fleeting moments of happiness and pleasure but always return to pain and dissatisfaction. Simply, if we are happy today the causes of our happiness will end and we will become unhappy.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, we are suffering because we view experience from our conditioned mind, we will measure each experience with judgment.  Do I like these events?  Do they meet my satisfaction?  We do this because we look at our activities as having a fundamental self that is directing them.  We protect this idea of a self and cherish it to the exclusion of anything else.  This forces us to view events as being related to us.  Events either support the idea that we are precious and individual or they attack that idea.  We come to enjoy the events we view as supportive, and to reject those that we view as unsupportive.  This causes us to swing back and forth on the extremes of happiness and suffering.  Always seeking events that please our sense of self and avoiding events that do not.  Since anything that is happening is based on things that have already happened, and we have experienced unsatisfactory events in the past, it is impossible to avoid unsatisfactory events in the present and we therefore suffer.  Or, if my precious self loves the rich texture and sweetness of chocolate it does so by discriminating between the taste of chocolate and some other food it does not care for (like asparagus.)  When I get to have chocolate, I am happy.  When the only food available is asparagus, I might go hungry, or force myself to eat something distasteful.  Chocolate on its own does not bring happiness, asparagus on its own does not bring suffering.  But my attraction to chocolate and my aversion to asparagus can cause all kinds of concerns and problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, we do not have to live with this conditional view.  It is possible to end this judgmental thinking that leads to these contrived experiences.  We can end this personal selfish view we bring to everything and therefore we can end suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth, we do this by following the teachings of the Buddha dharma and applying the eightfold path of righteousness to our actions.  We know it can work because the Buddha was a living example of the effectiveness of the dharma.  And there have been countless others who have applied the dharma to their own selfish minds and ended the cycle of suffering.  As we apply the dharma in our own lives we begin to see its ability to effectively alter our selfish view.  And we see the potential for awakening to our own “Buddha-ness.”  Eventually all of the causes and conditions for the cyclic suffering we have known are exhausted and we fully awaken.  This means that the Four Noble Truths are only true for those who have not awakened.  Those who have practiced the Four Noble Truths through to the fruit of enlightenment are not suffering.  The truths are not true for them, because they have exhausted the conditions that make them true.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the rest of us, we have a plan to follow.  A wonderfully simple path laid out for us more than two thousand years ago and applied by countless people just like us throughout the ages.  Today we have living representatives of the effectiveness of this path.  We need only study their actions and attitudes to see the effect this amazing path can have, right here, today.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am quite sure that in a few years I will see these truths in a different way.  When I first found them, I did not see the hopefulness and joy that they represent to me now.  I thought they were a dour and nihilistic view.  But after trusting the path and trying to apply them to each moment, in even my very limited fashion I find that today they are a great inspiration.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I don&apos;t believe that I get it really, as I say in the essay.  I post it here because more than one of you has asked me to share my experiences of this program.  This should not be taken as &quot;right&quot; or as some kind of guide at all.  If you care about the Four Noble Truths, I suggest you find books or a teacher or someone who knows more than I do... for what it&apos;s worth, this is a better glimpse into my own spritual path and the way i view it today than anything else.  Take it for what it is.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>

  <description>&quot;The U.N. Mine Action Coordination Center, which has so far assessed 85 percent of the bombed areas in Lebanon, has identified 379 bomb strike areas that are contaminated with as many as 100,000 unexploded bomblets.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;these &quot;bomblets&quot; are cluster bombs.  They are unexploded among the rubble of southern Lebanon.  Families returning to their homes are finding these &quot;spray paint&quot; cans lying all around the streets and yards of their communities.  Children are picking them up, and having 100&apos;s of little pieces of sharpened metal blow through their little bodies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;90% of cluster bomb strikes in the conflict were made in the final 72 hours of the battle.  Isreal, KNOWING a ceasefire was approaching, deliberately dropped these munitions all over southern lebanon.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuckers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p</description>
