This vid explains what I posted in the description of the upload of me talking
verfremdung (*have never forgotten that term) variously translated as ESTRANGEMENT, ALIENATION, DISILLUSION, DEFAMILIARISATION, DISTANCING EFFECT
https://blogos-haha.blogspot.com/2020/07/tar-please-observe-critical-distancing.html
Verfremdung as a single word that describes a process: making the familiar strange.
The biographical tradition is littered with apocryphal tales about Bodhidharma's life and circumstances. In one version of the story, he is said to have fallen asleep seven years into his nine years of wall-gazing. Becoming angry with himself, he cut off his eyelids to prevent it from happening again.[36] According to the legend, as his eyelids hit the floor the first tea plants sprang up, and thereafter tea would provide a stimulant to help keep students of Chan awake during zazen.
Yeah the source for that is Alan Watts - who admittedly just made things up. Then there is another source - on "essential Buddhism" - so the problem with caffeine as the original qigong master notes - too much caffeine then obstructs real meditation. For one - it lowers blood flow to the brain - because when sleeping there is increased blood flow. So meditation also increases blood flow to the brain and sleep is natural meditation. Secondly caffeine increases dopamine but meditation relies on converting dopamine to serotonin and then to oxytocin.
So the idea of cutting off the eye lids and then drinking tea to stay awake - this does not make sense because when the third eye is fully open then someone sees light outside their body even with the eyes closed. haha.
Brecht - Alienation Effect - to push the audience away and think "WHY" is this "happening"
So it's also called the V effect
The idea is so that the audience is not emotionally attached to what they are experiencing.
not to encourage an audience to suspend their disbelief, but rather to force them to see their world as it is
So back to the example of the origin of drinking tea by Zen monks - in effect it is a crutch such that if a monk wants to drink tea then they should first pull out their eye lids (metaphorically). Meaning only true ascetic purification will achieve real results whereas self-injury may be a side effect of the training when not practicing the "direct path."
And so what is the "direct path" - this is another name for Jnana as self-inquiry known in Buddhism as vipassana or in Zen meditation as the "inner ear" method - the k'oan of "one hand clapping" or "Who Am I?" as the k'oan.
So the Yes Men is held up as a Bretchian critical distancing method - to use satire to infilitrate
The "Veritas Project" does this from the right wing perspective - although each side's ideology is going to question the authenticity of the contextual awareness.
So this combines the queer gay liberation movement with the right wing racist white supremacy movement. The combined effect is cognitive dissonance - as shown in the above NRA (national rifle association) presentation by the Yes! Men.
So the idea here is that what would seem to be an absurd conflation of opposite views actually is an ideological amalgamation - due to the subconscious psychophysiology that controls human modern culture since agriculture as settled societies.
The original human culture did not even know that homosexuality existed nor did they have rape nor warfare - yet this basic truth is not allowed to be discussed EVEN in the "counter culture" since even the counter culture is dependent on physical use of drugs, etc.
A native indigenous Yes Men stunt - spoofing the patronizing corporate propaganda b.s.
The Yes Men argue that it's more efficient to just have corporations pay people directly to vote
And the "law" conference about global trade doesn't care when they say the Nazis were good at trade...
Their goal of the Yes Men is to get the people to REALIZE they are being scammed as the scam is in operation - thereby undermining the very ideological "jouissance" (Zizek) of the message they are spoofing.
So the indigenous Yes Men confront white people trying to copy native drumming spirituality
So someone comments:
Their history was lost and their mother tongue forgotten when they sailed to America. Their culture is consuming and if they like it they buy it, as a lack of solid identity, the romantic idea of being native sounds perfect to feel a connection to this land.
Yes I read a book called "Education of Little Tree" that turned out also to be a fake native book.
Forrest Carter was actually Asa Earl Carter was further documented in a 1991 New York Times exposé by history professor Dan T. Carter (no direct relation). The supposed autobiographical truth of The Education of Little Tree was revealed to be a hoax.
And similarly people still believe that the Don Juan "spiritual" training books are real.
The Fake Carlos Castaneda - Indian Country Today
Mar 24, 2011 — He sold more than eight million copies of his books, starting with “The Teachings of Don Juan.” The Don was supposed to be a Yaqui medicine man who divulged his secrets to Castaneda in Mexico and in a bus station in Tucson. ... Unfortunately, there was no Don Juan, and Castaneda never met him.
At some point as white Westerners - we have to realize that the very origin of Western civilization from Plato and Archytas is also fake - what we are taught to believe as Pythagorean teachings is also FAKE appropriation.
When I met the primitivist art professor - a former Beatnik - he told me how he saw qigong master Yan Xin in NYC and he felt the energy. But he said he would never practice qigong himself since it was not his culture. So I'm sure he didn't want to be seen as "assimilating" or "appropriating" qigong. But the word "qigong" is actually from the Communists and China itself has assimilated Western culture as Marxism and science as the religion of technology, etc. Whereas qigong originates from a mystic training - we can call it "shamanism" but that word itself is an assimilation from Asian culture.
So this is why I rely on music as a model but if someone is doing a drum circle in trying to mimic Native drumming - even if they are not using Western music tuning - this is still an attempt to "capture" or "contain" some other kind of form.
Whereas the Form of the Formless with music as meditation is based on silence as the truth of logical inference. So in Western science the noncommutative phase secret of alchemy - as Eddie Oshins realized was the secret of Neigong - is applicable to any culture as based on music tuning. But the results can only be listened to in silence - the end goal is beyond any type of physical result in form.
Reservations | The New Yorker www.newyorker.com › magazine › 2010/12/13 › reser... Dec 13, 2010 — It became necessary to intermarry, and the Shinnecocks often married African-Americans. http://createsend.com/t/d-541E3EB63E1D1608 In the mid-seventeenth century, though, the Shinnecock population dwindled, when new diseases came ashore with the colonists. It became necessary to intermarry, and the Shinnecocks often married African-Americans. Today, most Shinnecocks look black but feel Indian—an identity quite distinct from both the crisp Yankee austerity of Old Southampton and the flamboyance of its more recent summer immigrants....Long Island’s Native Americans have been marrying African-Americans since the seventeenth century, when the Dutch started bringing slaves into New York. John Strong, the premier historian of Native Americans on Long Island, told me, “Slave status was defined by law in terms of the woman—a child becomes the property of the mother’s owner. If you’re a slave and you want to make sure your children are free, you marry an Indian woman.”

My review from 14 years ago:
Professor Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty in her book "Dreams, Illusions and other Realities" provides a nice counter-weight to the view of Rosen, Ken Wilber and so many others. She states, for example, that the Hausa believe dreams are real until 10 years old then learn dreams are not real and then finally, by say 18 years old, learn that dreams provide a means to travel beyond the body and see the future.
Meanwhile us Western "modern" people still think that dreams are not real. Other examples are numerous from the anthropological literature. Farley Mowhat's "People of the Deer" gives a good "altaic" example (although it's on the Innuit of midland Canada). Paul Stoller. The book on the Senufo of the Ivory Coast is another good example. "In the Eyes of the Night: Witchcraft among the Senegalese People" is excellent. "Women Like Meat" is a recent Ivy-league anthropology professor analysis of the sophisticated magic of the Koi-San.
What's tragic of course is that this real sophisticated knowledge has been rapidly destroyed although rare lineages do still exist.
Let's just state that a recent study proved that melatonin dramatically increases with altitude and melatonin then turns into DMT -- the spirit molecule (so traveling up a mountain enables human consciousness to "descend" to it's quantum foundation).
Anyway the emphasis on topology by Rosen is greatly underscored by mathematical biologist professor Steven Strogatz' best-seller "Sync" (2003) wherein the twisted scroll-ring is the equivalent of the double torus kleinian analysis. Strogatz (via the fastest supercomputers at Los Alamos) discovered that this topology is truly a universal alchemical structure which can heal heretofore chaotic diseases (like heart arrhythmia).
Another excellent source on consciousness and topology is psychology Professor Harry Hunt's work (Yale U Press) -- he cites Ralph Abrahamson's "double torus" model.
Strogatz, though, being a truly mature scientist, has also admitted that the Pythagorean harmonic series (which is the foundation for the Riemann Hypothesis at value zero and predicts all numbers) is "a conspiracy between nature and number, between atom and arithmetic." (promo for the 2006 book "Stalking the Riemann Hypothesis")
Better yet Strogatz has come out stating that the latest math proofs rely on computers to demonstrate their logic such that humans are no longer in control of math, the foundation for all science. This loss of control will, for structural reasons, spread to the rest of science.
I submit, and would hope that Rosen would agree, that humans were never in control. The "zero linking value" discovered to be the key for Strogatz' twisted scroll ring universality should also be the "apeiron" central to Rosen's metaphysics.
Apeiron is truly the empty awareness which secretly guides all of "evolution" or "progress" -- what have you.
So free will and intention are inherent to the platonic form in the higher dimensional topology -- hidden within the 4th dimension of space.
This topology is literally the full-lotus body position, as taught in the most traditional form of qigong. The hands face the heart-mind, as taught by Master Yan Xin, the national treasure of China.
The knees and spine form an equilateral triangle with great pressure on the hands and elbows so that a Kleinian free-energy dynamic is created through:
tensigrity -- the key principle to Bucky Fuller's topological universality.
The double torus equilateral tetrahedron (pyramid power) is the same as the Kleinian analysis and the twisted scroll ring of macro quantum chaos theory. Freemasonry is based on the same pyramid power full-lotus secrets, as professor Hugh B. Urban reveals.
The equilateral triangle is composed of two Pythagorean 3:4:5 triangles taking us back to the Pythagorean Logos, now central to Rosen's new book.
The key mystery to the Pythagorean Tetrad is that it's ASYMMETRICAL while science is based on symmetrical logic. Even Alain Connes points this out in his new book "Triangle of Thoughts" (2001). Connes, the top mathematician of France, and creator of non-commutative geometry, realized that One plus One does not equal Two!! Connes states that music theory is the key to understanding, the formal language, for quantum computing.
The Golden Ratio is actually derived from the Law of Pythagoras but it violates the symmetric logic of Eudoxus (in otherwords A:B::B:A + B is not the same as 2:3::3:4 even though it is the same as 1:2::2:3.
So this basic paradox, at the foundation of science, created a "deep disharmony" (math professor Luigi Borzacchini) that has resonated, building up exponentially as science.
In otherwords the music logarithmic spiral which Rosen promotes will not work -- because of macro quantum chaos!! The nonlinear results of technology derived from the non-real continuum (as John Wheeler stated since "it comes from bit" for black holes there can be no real number continuum governing black holes. Black holes are governed by the golden ratio and the Pythagorean triangle. Only music theory resolves this paradox of which comes first -- math or physics). This paradox of math over physics has been the focus of debate for David Deutsch and Paul Davies -- music theory resolves it as both Steve Strogatz and Alain Connes realize.
Brian Josephson has turned to music theory as well and he has also promoted Rosen's work.
My background is music theory and for this reason, just as professors Charles Sayward and Philip Hughes could not accept the logic of the Pythagorean Theorem (see spring, 1999 issue of the journal Philosophy) I also was forced to research the deep paradoxes which have resulted from a misunderstanding of the Logos.
Music is not left-brain logic, nor is it right-brain topology. Music, as natural resonance, turns into pressure as anti-gravity phonons which drives the evolution of quasars and galaxies. But, again, music is transcultural and defined by the Law of Pythagoras yet he was forcefully driven out by the imperialism of Plato and Archytas as Dr. Peter Kingsely so well documents in his masterful book "In the Dark Places of Wisdom." (1999)
I recommend "the small universe" Pythagorean practice to work the body back into the full-lotus position which truly enables realization of the Kleinian action proscribed by Rosen in his brilliant tour de force.
Rosen emphasizes Chinese alchemy via Von Franz but the best source for the small universe (an ancient Chinese secret documented in India in Mircea Eliade's book on yoga) is "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality" trans. by Charles Luk.
