Not so, invitation only. No tests ( not like MENSA ). And no puzzle boxes. But we have to know you face to face. Joining our organization will be just as demanding as it would be to get into a Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Buddhist Monastery.
But we are also not ready to expand at all at this point. I am still fighting for some political victories and to crush some people with business ventures. We do not operate via Live and Let Live.
No incorporations, copywrites, or dedicated real estate. No dues yet either. Don't want to expand beyond current handful of people until we have these.
One man who would have been our eldest member died of a diabetic coma. So that now leaves me as the eldest.
I only mention the organization just to show, that as things are between men and women now, they suck. But if you think some of it through there could be other possibilities.
"But we are also not ready to expand at all at this point. I am still fighting for some political victories and to crush some people with business ventures."
SJG . . . in order to gain political victories you have to open the puzzle box. That's how the politicians got there in the first place, and you cannot beat them without it.
I have never seen this, just read some blurbs, seen some stills and a few short clips.
Now certainly I am not trying to create any artificial drama, like you would find in a movie. And I will see this movie. But certainly I am drawing on the the same sorts of sources of ideas that the film maker was.
And you also see some of the same ideas in Story of O and its film adaptations. Clearly Kubrick was also influenced by this.
And like with the strip club chain, Deja Vu, that is a clever name. When you are around all the painted up hotties, it does speak to something primal, something which we all seem to already know about and be ready to respond to.
The Deja Vu one feels when seeing all the painted up hotties, in the stills from Kubrick's film, or in strip clubs, I think it is over the ancient world's pagan temples, elevating sex to an art form.
Based on Arthur Schnitzler's 1926 novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story), the story is transferred from early 20th century Vienna to 1990s New York City. The film follows the sexually charged adventures of Dr. Bill Harford, who is shocked when his wife, Alice, reveals that she had contemplated having an affair a year earlier. He embarks on a night-long adventure, during which he infiltrates a massive masked orgy of an unnamed secret society.
Edited for R rating, but uncut version now available.
Must also connect with J. K. Huysman, the source for the idea of offering the naked woman up on the altar, or of celebrating Mass on her lower abdomen.
Can't find the full article, but over the last decade San Jose has seen a 263% increase in rapes being reported. Really more rapes, or just more reporting? Also maybe because some years back because the FBI changed the defn'.

But I fight on, boxing opponents into corners. And these are just the smaller fights that I know how to engage in. There are bigger ones that I don't know how to engage in yet.
Sometimes I read the Book of Exodus, from about ch 3, the call of Moses, up through to where they cross the Red Sea. I see this actually as a book of magic. It gives one ways to oppose powers that look to be unopposable.
It seems to work, really. Curious people appear and strange things happen.
And I continue to educate myself, as I also know that that is one of most powerful means of resistance.
Very few could have ever endured all that I have had to. And the end, final victory, is still nowhere in sight. But I will still fight on, even if it is too my last breath.
As I use the Book of Exodus, the call of Moses through the plagues, strange things happen. Strange people who up and act like they know me and make death threats against me. Others show up who are real nice. And then in political contests I am involved in, curious things happen, and things seem to get unstuck and there is progress.
SJG said "Someone yesterday mentioned Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut."
lol. That was me.
But... but... it couldn't be. You blocked me for trying to breach your ultimate force field of privacy (which is to say, I kept asking you to sensibly justify your bullshit).
A strange episode. Curious woman appeared. She was at the parking lot for an old furniture store building near me. Sort of homeless, except that she doesn't seem to have anything but the clothes on her back. Personable and nice looking. I would say Central American, but she does speak English with no accent.
She built this little hut out of a huge pile of mattress boxes. I told her that was not a good idea, it is too conspicuous. The property owner would take offense. She tries to sleep during the day time. I told her that if you are outside, you need to like others do, follow the Sun.
Sometimes homeless women become rather like stray cats. I walk through that parking lot all the time. Various contacts with her, and today she showed up in a fast food place. She is trying to get close to me.
But I do not want this. I am involved in political matters 24-7. that is what I need to do.
Exodus is a book of magic, if you just read the actual text.

The most strange is what it does to the electromagnetic units, you get this statcoloumb and statampere, etc. It can be figured out, but it takes time and attention.
Ambitious in other ways too, vol 1 Mechanics, goes all the way through relativity, without any waves or electromagnetics. The examples are all either subatomic or out in space somewhere.
Vol 2 and 3 has all mechanical waves and electromagnetics. But thermodynamics is held off until vol 5, after quantum mechanics, so they can do macro and micro together.

Looking at single bore for extending BART through San Jose. One bore, 47 feet in diameter, trains on top of each other and all the stations on the same side.
Not done like that around here, but construction less disruption to retail businesses.
Very important. Though I would still say if you know something arrestable is happening, or where a child must be removed at once, the number to call is 911.
