The Daily Mandala By Henry Reed

The Daily Mandala
By Henry Reed
Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning circle. In this case, the circle refers to the symbol for "All that is," especially all that can be, or Creation's complete and full potential, the unmanifest. The psychoanalyst Carl Jung brought mandalas to our attention and noted that they often appeared in conjunction with the square motif.
Jung noted that the square, a four-sided figure, seemed to be a universal (archetypal) theme about life on earth, as in "the four directions" or the "four corners of the earth." What is the significance, then, of the circle and square together?
The mystical geometers of ancient Egypt used only two tools—a compass and a ruler—to explore the realms. Using only these, they devised methods of creating known forms in creation. However, they discovered that for a given circle, it was not possible to create a square that contained exactly the same area within it as the circle.
They interpreted this fact to mean that no one could, in their lifetime, give complete expression (manifestation within the four corners of the earth) of the full potential the creator had implanted within each soul. "Squaring the circle" came to mean the imperfect expression in the earth of the perfection of the underlying creation.
Both Edgar Cayce and Carl Jung expressed the same idea, in different terms, about the goal of a lifetime. Cayce called it "individuality," Jung called it "individuation." What both meant by these similar terms was that we each grow to become individual, unique, incomplete, and imperfect expressions of the universal creative principle that underlies all life. A mandala expresses that blend of the unique and the universal.
I started a blog to share my daily attempt to "square the circle," in the form of a mandala. I believe that there will come a time when the collective consciousness is aware of all our voices, and we will learn to sing in harmony. To me, singing in harmony means each of us sharing of our authentic voice, and the harmony is the harmony not of sameness, but instead is expressive of the great mystery: how the underlying oneness manifests in so many particulars.
Before the advent of separation and judgment, as detailed, for example, in the fall of the Garden of Eden, there was an instinctive, although unconscious, harmony among the particulars of creation.
It has been our path to move beyond separation and judgment to achieve the next phase of creation. My studies and personal exploration in spiritual psychology, from Anthroposophy to Zen, has led me to the hypothesis that simply "being yourself" is the path. It is a path with heart, as it requires a certain acceptance and love for what is, rather than for what, according to judgments, "should be."
So I create and share my mandalas daily even though they are, from the standpoint of judging their artistic merits or quality of construction, imperfect, irregular, coarse or roughly hewn. Nevertheless, they reflect me. They express, I believe, the prayer that goes into their creation, that when viewed by others, the mandala will remind the viewer that it is OK to be themselves. It is OK to be as they are.
There has been a lot written about the inner effect of making mandalas. I'll not repeat any of that here, but encourage you to find out for yourself. I hope that these mandalas awaken the heart of the viewer more than words can do, maybe even inspiring the viewer to muse inwardly, "Hey, those mandalas look like fun; I could do one myself!"

Why We're So Rude on the Internet
via unknowncountry by astrieber on 10/5/12
Most people join social networks like Facebook in order to MAKE friends, but in the process, they often end up LOSING them instead, because people tend to become surprisingly nasty to each other online, texting things they would never say to someone face to face.
Blue Book Stopped Too Soon
via unknowncountry by astrieber on 10/5/12
Starting in the 1958, the Air Force's Project Blue Book investigated over 12,000 UFO sightings, before being closed down in 1969. More than 700 of these sightings were labeled as "unidentified." Retired Col. Robert Friend was assigned to direct the project in order to determine whether UFOs were a national security threat or could give us scientific knowledge.

Google’s Self-Driving Cars and Some Android Tech That You Can Use Today
via Pocketnow by Joe Levi on 10/4/12
A couple states have passed (or are working on) legislation to “license” cars that can drive all by themselves. No, really! Google is at the forefront of this technology, but it’s still going to be some time before it lands in your garage. Google, learning from its Street View project, is taking things to the next level: self-driving cars. Self-driving cars use a variety of sensors to identify where they are and what’s surrounding them. You can’t go down to the dealership and have one of these car drive you off the lot — not yet anyway. You can, however, ...
Kick Down TRRR (Torsion Reaction Recoil Reduction) Stock
via The Firearm Blog by Steve (The Firearm Blog) on 10/5/12
A company called MDEK Systems has developed a prototype stock (patent pending) which they claim reduces felt recoil significantly more than traditional spring or hydraulic recoil reduction systems. The TRRR reduces recoil by "converting the linear in-line kick forces to dynamic torsion impulses within the stock. The torsion impulses rotate the gun download and away from the shooters's shoulder and cheek and eliminates barrel rise. This action eliminates flinching and helps keep the target acquired making the shooting experience painless and more pleasurable."
Prototype on Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun
Like with any new miracle technologies, the proof is in the pudding shooting. I hope to review this stock on TFB when it comes to market.
The company founder told me they plan on manufacturing them for AR-15 5.56mm and 7.62mm rifles and Remington 870 and Franchi SPAS-12 shotguns.
M1903 Springfield KABOOM
via The Firearm Blog by Steve (The Firearm Blog) on 10/5/12
Different gun, same story. The owner of this gun was shooting "factory reloads" (remanufactured ammunition) and did not stop shooting to clear a squib.
Kappy at WeaponsCache.com wrote ...
This happened at my range a few weeks ago. The owner of a Springfield 1903 was shooting some of the nastiest looking factory reloads I've ever seen. I looked at the bag of bullets (never a good sign) and saw old military spam, corroded ammo, etc. all mixed up.
People were picking up pieces of the stock, mostly splinters, from all over the shoot house. Fortunately for those around him, we have baffles to separate shooters for just this eventuality. The shooter received superficial injuries to his hands. A few stitches sufficed.
He was expected to be a bit gunshy, but was back out this past Saturday.
Apparently he had a squib which parked itself a round 10" down the barrel. Instead of checking, he racked another one, pulled the trigger, and suffered the consequences. I'm glad he's OK, though. Split that beautiful barrel like a banana peel, though.
By all means, save as much money on ammunition as possible. Buy cheap military surplus, buy in bulk, but don't buy bags of loose "factory reloaded" ammunition from shady vendors at gun shows.

Iran’s “Shaher” Anti-Material Rifle
via The Firearm Blog by Steve (The Firearm Blog) on 10/5/12
Iran's Ministry of Defense has been making a big deal about a new .50 BMG rifle thier defense industry has produced. Just a few months ago I wrote that if Iran had not done it already, they were bound to clone the Steyr HS-50. The new Iranian rifle resembles a clone of the HS-50 designed primarily with manufacturing cost in mind.
The lower portion of the gun looks to be identical to the version of the Steyr HS-50 which was sold to Iran. The butt stock looks a lot cheaper (just a rubber pad screw on to the end) and the upper receiver and handguard are simple heavy tubular affairs able to be made cheaply in a machine shop using lathes.
I am not usually this critical about a new gun, but it really says something about the state of Iran's firearm industry when a terrorist organisation hiding in the mountains managed to produce a better looking, lighter and more ergonomic DIY anti-material rifle than they did.
The version of the HS-50 Steyr sold Iran.
Iran clones all the defense technology they purchase. Any company that sells Iran arms is just asking for their technology to be cloned. Eventually Iran is going to find that nobody will be willing to sell them modern defense technology.
UPDATE: Kit Up is reporting that the rifle is chambered in the larger 14.5mm round. I still stand by my assertion that it is a clone of the HS-50, albeit a scaled up clone.
