Keanu Reeves is indeed a bit stiff in his acting, but so what? What does it matter if he or Nicolas Cage aren´t models of acting expression? There´s something here that I am missing.

Judgment Proclaimed

…"Declare this in the house of Jacob And proclaim it in Judah, saying, Now hear this, O foolish and senseless people, Who have eyes but do not see; Who have ears but do not hear. 'Do you not fear Me?' declares the LORD. 'Do you not tremble in My presence? For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, An eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it. Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail; Though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it.…

Those who want fame, power, spell-casting abilities, demons at their beck and call, and to recognize the godhead within, as well as to know the past, present, and future, Aleister Crowley extolled to his apt students, must consistently, with intensity, practice talking (reverse speech), walking, thinking, and playing phonograph records, backwards ...

Kind of explains why ChopShop couldn't look me in the eye after I was talked into going to one of his lectures.

I found it hard to keep my eyes and ears open to listen to him...

Maybe he picked up on that?

Interestingly enough, the person I went with....we had the same kind of go arounds ChopShop was having with Harris....

I can't even listen to him on the videos. Just spews the same thing over and over and over. Is he a minimalist composer? Is he like the Philip Glass of thought or something?

The Apprentices Challenge

It has been said that before young wood carvers can even think about
carving the fine and delicate details of the human face they are given a
challenge to carve something from a single chunk of wood. That
something is the powerful physique of the weeping Buddha. These young
wood carvers begin their apprenticeship by honing their craft mastering
the curves of the human body as portrayed by this statue.

"Incidentally, you may notice that the term “fool” hardly embodies the
“non-judgmental” attitude that so many westerners expect the Buddha to
have had. He seems to have been a feisty old coot, and didn’t suffer
fools gladly."

Mastering this Sanskrit lesson will enable you to pick up any Buddhist sutra and begin to read. Why? Every sutra spoken by the Buddha begins with the words ‘Thus I have heard’.

      “Fine,” you think, “but isn’t there a contradiction in those words? The last lesson explained the Sutra’s invocation.   Namah Sarvajnaya, ‘Homage to (the Buddha) the one who knows all’. If the Buddha is all-knowing, how can he say; ‘I’ve heard’?”

      Quite right. The Buddha indeed:

            Is omniscient (sarvajna) and self-taught,

            Follows no one else’s system, plans or path 

            Speaks Dharma never having heard it spoken.

Only the Buddha is beyond instruction, because there is not one thing he doesn’t know. Therefore the Buddha would not begin a sutra by saying, “So I’ve heard.

      But it’s not the Buddha who says the words , it’s Ananda,  the Buddha’s cousin and disciple, who speaks them. After the Buddha entered Nirvana, the disciples met to assemble the Buddha’s teachings, and because Ananda could remember every word the Buddha had said, it was he who recited the sutras for the assembly. At the beginning of each sutra Ananda said, “Thus I have heard”.

It's possible to hear many things that have never really been spoken.
