Just in case all you Highlanders didn't get the memo, here's the news article...

REINCARNATION BANNED IN CHINA
2013-08-26 08:11 PM

The Chinese government has issued a ban on reincarnation! Tibetan monks are forbidden from reincarnating without government permission. Interesting choice considering the Chinese Communist Party is officially atheist. Of course the real reason behind it is so that when the Dalai Lama passes away, the Chinese regime will be able to choose their own Dalai Lama to further lead Tibet and the Tibetan people into subjugation.

Here's an older article from the Huffington Post...

China Bans Reincarnation Without Government Permission

In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation." But beyond the irony lies China's true motive: to cut off the influence of the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual and political leader, and to quell the region's Buddhist religious establishment more than 50 years after China invaded the small Himalayan country. By barring any Buddhist monk living outside China from seeking reincarnation, the law effectively gives Chinese authorities the power to choose the next Dalai Lama, whose soul, by tradition, is reborn as a new human to continue the work of relieving suffering.

At 72, the Dalai Lama, who has lived in India since 1959, is beginning to plan his succession, saying that he refuses to be reborn in Tibet so long as it's under Chinese control. Assuming he's able to master the feat of controlling his rebirth, as Dalai Lamas supposedly have for the last 600 years, the situation is shaping up in which there could be two Dalai Lamas: one picked by the Chinese government, the other by Buddhist monks. "It will be a very hot issue," says Paul Harrison, a Buddhism scholar at Stanford. "The Dalai Lama has been the prime symbol of unity and national identity in Tibet, and so it's quite likely the battle for his incarnation will be a lot more important than the others."

Go Dali Lama!

You Rock!
China does not.

I wonder what the punishment for knowingly reincarnating in China without the Chinese government's approval would be?

I bet it's probably really, really not very good at all...

Oh, Randall, that's not the half of it. *sigh* But, I wouldn't want to get myself in trouble because I am a very good girl and I most certainly wouldn't want the plug pulled on my little carnival, so read between the lines...I mean listen to the song I'm posting...esp. the first two lines.


CALIFORNICATION - RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation

Little girls from Sweden
Dream of Silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of Dreams
It's Californication

It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication

Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain (Pisces) can you hear the Spheres
Singing songs off Station to Station
And Alderon's not far away
It's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody's been there
and
I don't mean on vacation

[Chorus]

Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And Earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And Tidal Waves couldn't save the world
From Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the Spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving
[Chorus]

Alderon's (astronomy)
Not to be confused with the star Aldebaran. For the fictional planet in the Star Wars universe, see Alderaan.

Alderaan and similar spellings (e.g. "Alderahan") is a disused name for the two pairs of stars á and â Canis Minoris (Procyon and Gomeisa) and á and â Geminorum (Castor and Pollux).

Alderaan was a terrestrial planet in the fictional universe of Star Wars. It was the home of the characters HRH Princess Leia...

From PSYCHIC DISCOVERIES BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN...


Naumov added another tidbit. "If an interceptor is a very powerful psychic, he can skew the transmission." It seemed the receiver might get the ideas sent by the interceptor instead of those the sender is transmitting.

If the Soviets are right, and this is an area they would likely investigate fully, it seems even the modern sophisticated spy armed with ESP might still have his messages bugged. But he might stand a chance of tuning in to any other circulating telepathy. Knowing whether telepathy can be intercepted or distorted is important if you want to use psi practically, which is the Soviet goal.

One big reason for all this concern in Russia seems to come out--the Chinese. A rumor circulating the West has it that some of the push in parapsychology is engendered by fear of China. As a rumor within a rumor, we hear in Russia that Chairman Mao two years earlier had ordered his scientists to make one of their inimitable full-steam-ahead approaches into the frontier of parapsychology. Interestingly, there is psi research going on in the far eastern Vladivostok and Khabarovsk on the disputed Chinese border.

ESP has always been particularly prevalent in wartime.

Station to Station is the tenth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1976. Commonly regarded as one of his most significant works, Station to Station was the vehicle for his last great character, The Thin White Duke. The album was recorded after he completed shooting Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth, and the cover artwork featured a still from the movie. During the sessions Bowie was heavily dependent on drugs, especially cocaine, and recalls almost nothing of the production. At this time in his life, he said that he lived on "red peppers, cocaine and milk".

*******************************************

Station-to-station is a method of placing a telephone call, with or without assistance, in which the calling party agrees to talk to whoever answers the telephone. With the introduction of direct dial telephone service and the subsequent drop in the price of long distance telephone calls, person-to-person service is virtually unheard of. Fax machines and modems, due to their inability to ask for a party by name, use the station-to-station technique.

********************************************

In public-key cryptography, the Station-to-Station (STS) protocol is a cryptographic key agreement scheme based on classic Diffie-Hellman that provides mutual key and entity authentication.

In addition to protecting the established key from an attacker, the STS protocol uses no timestamps and provides perfect forward secrecy. It also entails two-way explicit key confirmation, making it an authenticated key agreement with key confirmation (AKC) protocol.

*********************************************

Public-key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography, refers to a cryptographic algorithm which requires two separate keys one of which is secret (or private) and one of which is public. Although different, the two parts of this key pair are mathematically linked. The public key is used to encrypt plaintext or to verify a digital signature; whereas the private key is used to decrypt ciphertext or to create a digital signature. The term "asymmetric" stems from the use of different keys to perform these opposite functions, each the inverse of the other – as contrasted with conventional ("symmetric") cryptography which relies on the same key to perform both.

Zodiac discrimination very real in China

China takes the signs of the zodiac seriously - seriously enough to discriminate against job seekers born under a certain sign.

That's the allegation of the Bandao Morning News, which interviewed recent college graduate Xu Jingmin, who talked about an employment ad that allegedly read, "We are looking for Geminis, Libras, and Aquarius," meaning Xu, a Leo, was ineligible. One employer interviewed denied that this was a factor, but Terence Wong, a Hong Kong public relations executive, said employers will often secretly refer to applicants Chinese zodiacs during the hiring process, though they discount Western signs. Maybe you should put that voodoo priest down as a reference, after all.

Kind of makes me wonder how a dreamy Piscean would fare in China?

If I lived in China I'd probably have to go Underground...like the Underground Railroad.

The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by 19th-century black slaves in the United States to escape to free states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists and allies who were sympathetic to their cause.

Remember before when I was talking about cars?

About how we used to ride around on our beautiful, brightly-painted carousel horses and now we drive cars while the horses are out to pasture frolicking about?

And when your CAR breaks down you feel like shouting out, "What did I do to deserve this CAR-MA!" while you sadly sit on the side of the road on the highway of life...waiting & waiting...for a TOE-truck to Tow your car to the mechanic's shop.

(If speed turns you on, you'll probably need a Pit Crew too.)

Lucky for us in the US to live in a country where rein-Car-Nation hasn't been officially banned!

Let's take a trip to the 'CarMike Cinema' and see a movie with Mike & the Mechanics:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxfkD8UxhEU


Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground) - Mike + The Mechanics

Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don't believe the Church and State
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the High Command

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

There's a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?)
(Can you hear me) hear me calling you?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running?
Calling you, calling you

POLO

Sorry, Randall...I have tickets for the Eagles and I figure if I start getting ready last week I might make it on time.

And I'm been having a situation here...my little nugget figured out how to escape from his child containment systems. Last night it was the baby gate. I slept with one eye-open all week...I don't know what I'm going to do now...I think he's on a mission to completely wreck my house. I'm pretty screwed.

*replacing poofing post*

As I was saying, Randall...lol...I thought you might know a little something about blood, sweat & tears. Yeehaw!


SPINNING WHEEL - BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS

What goes up must come down
Spinning Wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin

You got no money, and you, you got no home
Spinning wheel, spinning all alone
Talking about your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel turn

Did you find a directing Sign
on the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting Sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colours that are real

Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning Wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the Riverside
Catch a painted pony
On the Spinning Wheel ride

Someone is waiting just for you
spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the Riverside
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel fly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi9sLkyhhlE

******************************************

You know about the "wheel", right? I've mention CARS quite a bit now, which of course have wheels. I think Journey song, Wheel in the Sky, explains it pretty well...

WHEEL IN THE SKY - JOURNEY

Winter is here again oh Lord,
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer
Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay

Ooh, I've been runnin' down this dusty road

[Chorus:]
Ooh, the Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'

I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
Ooh, I can't take this very much longer, no
I'm stranded in the Sleet and Rain
Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
The mornin' sun is risin'
It's kissing the day

[Chorus]
Ooh, the Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'
Whooa... My, my, my, my, my... For tomorrow

Oh, the Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'
Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the Sky keeps me yernin'
Oh, I don't know, I don't know

Oh, the Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'
Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'
Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't knowohoh
Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'
Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'
Ohh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Wheel in the Sky keeps on turnin'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF1HCMGZ4Ok

(Maybe a good professional can tell you where you're going to be tomorrow, though. )
