Ed Chiarini returned for his 4th appearance and The Rebel Path and we got into Spielberg, Lincoln, Obama, Kennedy, Maryilyn and a whole bunch of other craziness.
The picture above will make a hole lot more sense after you listen to the show all the way through [downloadable]:
I’d like to once again thank Ed for the spiffy [now somewhat modified] promo image below, which I get the feeling will phase into some form of permanency.
Yes, the Rebel is back, and like it or not, still hosting the best show in this whole[nonrewarding] busyness.
What is man? What makes man what he is? What exactly does As Above So Below mean, and how does it relate to the former questions?
The Celtic Rebel, rested from a nice long vacation was back this past Sunday to address the above questions. That’s the show below [downloadable]:
To answer the question, had to look back on the origins of man, and the origins or the understanding of man. Perhaps, even the origin of many of us lost souls.
Our mythology is a good way to look back and ascertain the wisdom hidden within for those with not eyes to see. Wisdom comes from experience, which includes the luxury of having made mistakes and the maturity to acknowledge them. The adolescent mindset is not capable of such, nor the detective work required to throw out the simple or logical in favor of the emotional, or outlandish.
Hope the wait was worth it. As usual, much more to come on the new reinvigorated Rebel Path. Same time, different channel, making a difference.
I will be taking a much needed break during the month of April. Hence, there will be no posts or uploads during that time. However, do keep tuning in to the stream (rebelmusic.caster.fm) throughout the week, particularly on Sundays at 11:00 PM Eastern (and be sure to “vote” for it if you have not yet). There will always be great music, but on occasion you may hear impromptu live broadcasts, or replays of prior shows plus other goodies.
Have done two live broadcast “sandwiches” during the first two weeks since my last show on Oracle. If you missed the discussion with John/Jonah, you missed a pretty good and thought-provoking show. After this month, I will make these archives and such available, but not before then.
This Sunday (March 31st) was the very last show I will ever do on Oracle Broadcasting, and as a matter of fact (as far as we know), the very last words to every be uttered on the network. All the Bobs (except that limey wanker English Bob) showed up for the “star-studded” event, and then some:
Due to technical matters beyond my control, the show was not fully recorded. The recovered pieces are now [finally] available [downloadable]. Somewhere around 1:20 of the show was lost, and we’ll just consider that time a treat for the live audience (yet, not so much to those unfamiliar with station politics).
There was an after show, where I took calls (the phone lines stayed up for some reason), and was joined by two of my [now] former Oracle hosts, Andrew Sholly and Dennis Fetcho. At some point, I will be making the extended recording available.
This is the end
This is the end
This is the part where all the curtains come down
And they won’t drop Fat Boy on your town
But if they do I hope it’s not a trend
This is the end
This is the end
This is the reel where all the titles come up
And you have no more drink in your cup
So here’s where sweet and bitter rivers blend
This is the end
Of all the bread we broke together
This is the end
Of all that fine and misty weather
I don’t want to hear you’ve been crying
I don’t want to hear you’ve been trying to revive it
Let it go
Let it lay down
Let it go
And if it won’t stay down that’s the surest sign
That something new’s beginning
The March 17th show was a response to the recent announcement concerning the end of the Oracle Broadcasting Network [downloadable]. But, I’ll save my words for those spoken in the show. After all, anything more I could write has already been written.
The March 24th show was a follow-up to the prior show and a review of what this show has done over the years [downloadable]. As a bonus, got some really positive caller feedback near thee end.
This is the end
This is the end
This is the part where all the lights flicker on
And we can see the popcorn is gone
Off looking for new causes to defend
This is the end
This is the end
That mythical place where everybody shakes hands
No hard feelings and no hard glands
The Bible says it’s when cats and dogs make friends
This is the end
Of all the Wars of all the Roses
This is the end
Of kissing ass and rubbing noses
I don’t want to hear you’ve been sorry
I don’t want to hear you’ve been worrying about me
Let it die
Let it lay down
Let it die
So it’ll all break down to rotten
That’s the way we grow new flowers
This is the end
This is the end
Now this is where the screen has led us all to
A sign that says “Please start here anew”
So let me hear the violins all rend
Note: When this write-up was initially released, the first part contained the wrong link (prior week’s show). You may want to verify you downloaded the correct show.
Tonight’s show was about looking at an old film with a new pair of eyes.
There was a homework assignment (view the film) handed out before the show. Those unfamiliar may find it of benefit to give it a view first before listening [downloadable].
This film has a lot to do with a topic I’ve struck on lately, gardening, as a philosophy for consciousness, the universe and our place in it as human beings in a state of being.
This film also has a lot to do with relationships (be they perceived as intimate, or not) and the rewards we derive from them. There is a theorem in physics which expresses the event[s].
Had forgotten about this scene from the film, as it shows him wandering about aimlessly, but it was definitely a foreshadow and an overt hint as to where (whether he knew it or not), he was wandering to. Very prescient when we fast forward to 2008.
Alas, there are great things we can accomplish when we come of reactive mode and flow in synch with the universe, instead of fighting it and whatever imaginary adversaries present themselves.
Hope you are enjoying the new direction the show has taken this year.
Continuing on from Part IV, we got into the concept of the Femme Fatale on this show.
The concept, as with most we have been taught (without actually processing for ourselves and learning) leaves out some of the most important details, which might help us recognize our own faults, and god forbid, grow or something [downloadable].
Some may wonder why this series continues on, and honestly, I think those still underestimate the value of the topic. It has led to us being able to revisit many notions and ideas, that for the first time, make way too much sense. Crystal clear?
I know many of us are terrified by the notion of actually having to grow up. It’s so much easier to live out an adolescent fantasy, where All Us Young Dudes are actually doing something useful. Well, it is useful, but to someone besides ourselves. The “truth” is much more belittling. There’s always been a slot to fill for eager little world-changers to propagate what they’re given.
I feel that is very likely the end of this series, but most likely, far from the end of the topic. Expect more efforts to synch up with nature. Behold the lesson learned from our humble turtle brethren.
Note: There will be a live show on Sunday Night. There is a movie that fits into the theme of the planned show and that is Being There (1979). Whether familiar, or not, some may find it of benefit to preview the film before Sunday; especially, with a new pair of eyes.
