You alone transform yourself into all forms, into the forms of the powers of Rudra as Aghorā, the enlightening and uplifting energy, Ghoratarī, the frightful darkening energy which pushes one down, and Ghorā, the energy which keeps one fixed, neither rising or falling. These forms, embodied in Rudra Shiva, are helpful to aspirants while they are aware, and frightful for the ones who are ignorant, pushing them down and down. Shanna Hughes [addressing Denise]: Would you like to take us through the meditation? Time (4:06) Denise Hughes: Yes. Now lengthen the spine. Bring your attention to your breath. Follow your breath in and follow your breath out. And now slowly inhale the breath. Take your awareness between the two eyebrows and exhale the breath. At the end of the exhale, observe the pause at the end of the exhale. Inhale... ...awareness between the two eyebrows. And then exhale the breath. At the end of the exhale, observe the natural pause. And continue with your meditation. Inhaling and observing the pause between the two eyebrows, and exhaling observing the pause at the end of the exhale. Please continue with your meditation... [10 min SILENT MEDITATION ENDING WITH A GONG!] ...just a little while observe how you're feeling in this moment. When you're ready, allow your eyes to begin to open. Time (16:25) Shanna: What are you smiling about George? George: What am I smiling about? The neverending search for spectacles? Shanna: I know that one now, just in the last six months. George: Good. Shanna: We are going into chapter six now, right? George: We are going to play a short synopsis or short summary of this chapter. It might be nice to put this in context too. Abhinavagupta's Bhagavad Gita is unique. You have to think that he wrote this or he did the commentary on the Bhagavad Gita more than a 1000 years ago, in an environment, which was very much feeling that the only way to get enlightened or to get spirituality was through rituals, basically, that you had to do rituals and you had to do all of ...
War! What is it good for? If you're an evil space wizard who also happens to be chancellor of the Galactic Republic, it's a great front for your rise as a fascist dictator and the transformation of your government into a tyrannical empire with absolute authority, backed by the people who have extended their political sympathy and given into fear after you dubbed a group of warrior monks rebels who made an attempt on your life. Yeah, the Jedi really messed up, and Palpatine got away with it all scot-free. Classic. Meanwhile, Padmé really gets the short end of the stick in this film, reduced to a childbearing vessel who constantly refers to her pregnancy as "wonderful" as Anakin calls the news "the happiest day of my life." What are you doing, George? What do you mean, she just lost the will to live? The regressive objectification of the only woman in the film and the uncritical portrayal of her abusive relationship with creepy Anakin really puts a damper on this movie, and makes us pretty glad it was the last Star Wars film Lucas directed.

"NOPE!" --George What does one talk about when everything that can possibly be talked about has been talked about? This is the dilemma that confronts the BUSY DADS as they take a long, hard (hah) look at STAR TREK 2: THE WRATH OF KHAN. A paramount achievement of not only Star Trek, but of Sci-Fi in general. Kevin, an uninitiated wanderer in the world of Trek, and George, a Klingon speaking Trekkie/er that still pretends he is commanding a starship when he's in the shower, take your hand on this miraculous journey. You SHOULD be scared!
Today's episode tells the tale of a young flesh-bound being caught in the throes of feline-fertilized potato addiction. What happens when one unwittingly sniffs the stench of a potato grazed by the waste of a cat named George? What happens when the whole world screams at you, "Potato! POTATO!"? Have a hear and let your ear tell you what is what. Lila Radio is an auditory experience of non-linear storytelling utilized to peel away the skin of molding perceptions and have a look at the sinewy fruits of the subconscious. You could also call it a podcast, if a podcast were dipped in the waters of childlike abstraction. Your host is Ben Jon Miller (me).
