Merry Christmas
I hope you have a white one, but for me, it’s blue

Blue Christmas, that’s the way you see it when you’re feeling blue
Blue Xmas, when you’re blue at Christmastime
you see right through,
All the waste, all the sham, all the haste
and plain old bad taste

Sidewalk Santy Clauses are much, much, much too thin
They’re wearing fancy rented costumes, false beards and big fat phony grins
And nearly everybody’s standing round holding out their empty hand or tin cup
Gimme gimme gimme gimme, gimme gimme gimme
Fill my stocking up
All the way up
It’s a time when the greedy give a dime to the needy
Blue Christmas, all the paper, tinsel and the fal-de-ral
Blue Xmas, people trading gifts that matter not at all
What I call
Fal-de-ral
Bitter gall…….Fal-de-ral

Lots of hungry, homeless children in your own backyards
While you’re very, very busy addressing
Twenty zillion Christmas cards
Now, Yuletide is the season to receive and oh, to give and ahh, to share
But all you December do-gooders rush around and rant and rave and loudly blare
Merry Christmas
I hope yours is a bright one, but for me, it’s blue…

Gauguin’s changing styles reflect a spiritual journey

By  on December 22, 2018 (SFExaminer.com)

Paul Gauguin, the French post-impressionist painter and rule-breaker whose flattened imagery, bold colors and Polynesian subjects significantly influenced modern art, has inspired an exhibition exploring what he was seeking when he sailed to the islands and how his key relationships shaped his work.

“Gauguin: A Spiritual Journey,” at the de Young Museum, contains more than 60 oil paintings, carvings and other works by Gauguin from Copenhagen’s Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, along with art of the Pacific Islands from the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco collection. Curated by FAMSF’s Christina Hellmich, it traces the career of Gauguin from its impressionist beginnings to its “primitivist” years.

A former stockbroker, Gauguin (1848-1903) was mentored by impressionists Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro in Paris. In the exhibit, side-by-side landscapes by Pissarro and Gauguin illustrate Pissarro’s influence. Gauguin’s “Sailing Vessel in Moonlight” (1878) also features Gauguin’s early, impressionist style.

Gauguin relocated to Denmark with his Danish wife, Mette Gad. The exhibition emphasizes Mette’s crucial support of Gauguin’s art, which outlasted the couple’s relationship.

We follow Gauguin to Brittany, where the down-to-earth peasants and scenery appealed to him. “Landscape From Brittany With Breton Women” (1888), with its flattened shapes and abstracted figures, and “Still Life With Onions and Japanese Woodcut” (1889), containing heightened colors and dark outlines, illustrate his post-impressionist style in the making.

Desiring more exotic and “savage” surroundings, Gauguin, in 1891, traveled to Polynesia — to New Zealand, the Marquesas Islands and Tahiti. Its landscapes and people, especially its young women, rendered in “primitive” mode, became his artistic subjects.

It is not clear to what degree Gauguin truly understood the island cultures he was depicting, and the sexualization of teen girls in his paintings is troubling. Yet, as the exhibit’s Tahiti section demonstrates, some striking artwork emerged from this period.

“Tahitian Woman With a Flower” (1891) suggests a late-19th-century version of a Raphael portrait, with a Tahitian sitter.

“Reclining Tahitian Women,” or “The Amusement of the Evil Spirit” (1894), a centerpiece attraction, is Gauguin’s inimitable salute to Manet’s “Luncheon on the Grass.” Painted in Paris to pay an inn debt, the picture contains Tahitian figures, fantasy colors, and, reflecting Gauguin’s fascination with Oceanic religions, a Polynesian deity.

Together Gauguin’s primitive and earlier post-impressionist works inspired Picasso, Matisse, the Fauves and the German Expressionists. Picasso’s landmark “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” has been cited as an early 20th-century work influenced by Gauguin.

Also on view are experimental works on paper, wood carvings and ceramic pieces. Gauguin called the latter his “monstrosities.”

A diagram details Gauguin’s relationships with his wife and several teenage Polynesian lovers.

Objects from the Fine Arts Museums’ collection of Oceanic art accompany the Gauguin works.

A video by Yuki Kihara features third-gender Samoans (indigenous Polynesians who are assigned male at birth and display both masculine and feminine traits in ways distinctive to Polynesia) discussing Gauguin’s work.

The Intelligent Design of the Universe

Michio Kaku, who is highly regarded in the scientific community thanks to his work in helping to popularize the String Theory, has developed a new theory which he says points to the existence of God or an intelligent designer for the universe.

The American scientist, who is a professor in theoretical physics at the City College of New York, came to his conclusion by studying “primitive semi – radius tachyons”.

These tachyons are theoretical particles that have the ability to “unstick” matter in the universe or vacuum space between particles, essentially leaving everything free from the influence of the universe.

This led Mr. Kaku to the conclusion that the universe was created through design, and not random chaos and that we could be living in a type of “matrix”.

He said of his research: “I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence.

“Believe me, everything that we call chance today won’t make sense anymore.

“To me, it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.”

He said in a YouTube video: “The final solution resolution could be that God is a mathematician.

“The mind of God, we believe, is cosmic music, the music of strings resonating through 11-dimensional hyperspace.”

With all of the calculations that would need to go into creating a successful universe, Mr. Kaku says that God is a mathematician – which could imply that we are living in a simulation, which many experts are considering the notion of.

The 8 Most Famous ‘Functioning Alcoholics’ in History

From the rituals of the Greeks and Egyptians to the formation of countries and culture, alcohol has lubricated the minds of some of our greatest thinkers.

Whether spearheading an empire or founding a cultural movement, some of our most famous drinkers have achieved monumental things despite having a fondness for the sauce.

While their achievements can be admired, their alcohol intake is not to be imitated. Drink responsibly this weekend.

Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great is depicted with sideburns in a mosaic from Pompeii.

Arguably the drunkest overachiever in history. By the time of his death at the age of 32, very likely related to malaria exacerbated by excessive alcohol consumption, Alexander the Great had conquered most of the known world, murdered one of his best friends in a drunken rage and was responsible for a drunken orgy which led to the burning of a Persian palace in Persepolis in 330 BC.

Socrates

Being the father of western philosophy may not have happened if it hadn’t been for the Ancient Greek tradition of holding symposia.

Socrates and Xanthippe

At a symposium, men would dine together and then drink into the night discussing the big ideas of the time.

Socrates was known to drink big but never appear drunk, holding court among his admirers including Aristotle.

Benjamin Franklin

Fresh water during Benjamin Franklin’s time was so unsanitary that it was safer to drink fermented and distilled beverages.

Benjamin Franklin

The Founding Father seems to have enjoyed this more than others and is famously quoted as saying “Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

Lord Byron

One of the leading lights in the Romantic Movement and arguably one of the most influential English poets of all time, Lord Byron was known for spending big and partying hard.

His drank his libations from a skull-shaped cup and is known for writing “Man being reasonable must get drunk; The best of life is but intoxication.”

Portrait of Lord Byron

One of his many mistresses, Lady Caroline Lamb, said of Byron that he was “mad, bad and dangerous to know.”

Lord Byron is also a national hero in Greece for his role in the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire.

Karl Marx

The man who inspired the dictators everywhere was famous for excessive boozing.

Along with his partner in thought, Friedrich Engels, the two drank their way across Europe and changed the course of political history along the way.

Karl Marx

Marx and Engels met in 1844 and during ten beer-soaked days formed a lifelong partnership that resulted in the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital.

Elizabeth the Queen Mother

Bastion of old English reserve and beloved matriarch of the Royal Family, the Queen Mother was known to start the day with a cocktail at noon and end with two glasses of Veuve Cliquot at dinner.

King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at Toronto City Hall, 1939.

During the war, after refusing to leave London, the Queen Mother held court at Buckingham Palace, raiding the wine cellars and ensuring everyone maintained their high spirits.

Portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother painted by Richard Stone in 1986.

The Queen Mother, who lived to the age of 101, famously said that “I couldn’t get through all my engagements without a little something.” And her staff made sure there was always a bottle of gin in her carriage for between engagements.

Winston Churchill

Two-time Prime Minister, Nobel Prize winner and accomplished watercolorist, Winston Churchill also served on the front lines of Cuba, India, Sudan, and South Africa, all while cultivating a mammoth drinking habit.

He would start the day with a Johnny Walker and water, a habit he picked up in India where the water was almost unpalatable, and would end the day with a few glasses of scotch, champagne and a highball.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (left) clinks glasses with Soviet Ambassador Ivan Maisky at a lunch party given by the ambassador for representatives of all the Allied governments, in the Winter Garden of the Soviet Embassy in London, August 1941.

There is some debate among biographers about the breadth of Churchill’s drinking, but Churchill himself acknowledged that alcohol had a significant impact on his life when he famously said, “I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.”

Ernest Hemingway

Hemingway’s love affair with booze started as a young fifteen-year-old reporter in Kansas City and was kicked into overdrive when he went to Europe during World War One.

He proceeded to drink his way around the world and write books that captured the emotional heartache of a generation.

Ernest Hemingway

Having moved to Paris to escape prohibition, he took full advantage of the bars of Europe and famously shared wine with Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Of his drunken escapades Hemingway wrote, “I have drunk since I was fifteen and few things have given me more pleasure.”

Hemingway would publish numerous works including For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Sun Also Rises precipitating a new wave of American literature and was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954.

How to Make the Power of Your Subconscious Mind Work for You

So creative, it seems like magic: a step-by-step guide to unleashing your most innovative brainpower

Our rational, conscious mind is a wonderful thing. But sometimes when we are looking for a solution, it can be a limited resource. I’m always looking for ways to work smarter, not harder.

What if I could come up with answers in my sleep? I discovered that it’s possible to do just that.

To the outsider, it can look as if someone were literally dreaming up solutions to situations. What’s really happening, though, is that a person who is skilled at this is first removing their overeager conscious mind temporarily from the equation, and then mobilizing the power of their subconscious minds through the power of a specific question.

It’s not half as complicated as that last sentence suggests. Questions are the key. I learned how to make this work for me, and I’ll show you how to do it, too.


How Does It Work?

To understand better how the mind works, we’re going to look at an analogy from science fiction: the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek—partly for its shape, and partly for the the way the different departments interact.

The “bridge” of the ship is the place where most of the action appears to happen—it’s the control center. Captain Kirk stands manfully on the bridge of the Enterprise, making decisions and giving orders—with an ego the size of a nearby planet.

Captain Kirk is, in fact, the perfect example of ‘ego’ from the point of view of psychology or personal development: he’s our self concept or the representation of the constructed self.

The Oxford dictionary defines ego as “the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity.”

Despite what he gets up to in the series, Captain Kirk’s job is to ensure the success of his mission and the continual wellbeing of his crew and ship. It is up to him to receive and evaluate information, weigh options, and decide on the best course of action.

Our conscious brain work is like our own ‘Captain Kirk’, standing on the bridge of our mind, taking control and trying to make all the decisions. Any problems or situations to be reviewed come here first to the bridge, and our conscious mind is very good at making those decisions.

However, like Captain Kirk, our ego can be a little too full of its own importance and overeagerness to solve issues. It often doesn’t notice all the possible solutions, or make use of resources better suited to finding those solutions.

The bridge is only a small part of The Enterprise, however. Supporting everything happening on the bridge is engineering. The bridge and Captain Kirk may look like the center, but without engineering, no one’s going anywhere. Engineering is where the warp engines lay, and where all the data is stored from every mission and available databank.

The WILL to boldly go may be on the bridge of the ship, but the POWER to get there is in the engineering bay.

The engines and the supercomputers in engineering never stop, never sleep—unlike Captain Kirk. They receive instructions, then keep processing and working away until a solution is found.

In The Enterprise of our mind, the engineering bay is our subconscious mind. Always processing, it doesn’t sleep like the conscious mind.


The Problem-Solving Power of the Subconscious Mind

Max Maltz likens the subconscious mind to a supercomputer or autoserver mechanism in his work (and subsequent book), Psycho Cybernetics. Maltz originally published this back in 1960, but his methods and ideas are still prevalent, and relevant, today. You can see the influence of his work in that of thought leaders such as Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, and Benjamin P. Hardy.

He explains that in the same way that a machine does not reason or judge, rather it just follows the task set it, so does the subconscious mind.

A really simple example of this is when you’re trying to remember someone’s name. It bugs us, doesn’t it? The simple question of “what is their name?” is sent back from the conscious to the subconscious mind, where our search engine works away until three hours later, while washing up, we think “Jane!”

The original situation has passed, but the subconscious “engineering” has been working away to find an answer while our conscious mind has been doing other things. Now while we’re doing something that doesn’t involve high levels of brain power, the message can get through, “Hey, you on the bridge: Jane!”

Another example of the play between conscious and subconscious is how they work together when we need to make a decision. For example, let’s say I want to buy new shoes.

As I go about my daily tasks, I now start noticing people’s shoes. The file is still open on ‘Which shoes do I buy?’ so my data collection devices (eyes and ears) send information back into the control center (conscious mind) which does a quick evaluation (horrible color/looks comfy).

Did I notice people’s shoes before? Not really.

Were people wearing shoes before that? Of course! I just didn’t have a “scan and search” order set for “shoes”.

Buying shoes is a simple example, but the same principle is in action if we want to change our job, find a course, meet a new partner, or discover a way to change an area of our lives. We can set an order to search and scan. The data comes in, and the amazingly powerful subconscious connects and compiles it, even when we are not consciously thinking about it.


How to Get It to Work for You

We know that asking the right questions are the key, and that we need to get the Captain Kirk of our ego to release its hold on the situation and take a break.

So now we can look at how to practically do that and set up our brains for finding creative solutions and success.

Questions are the key. A question is better than an opinion or affirmation for finding creative solutions. Positive affirmations can be very effective for changing the programing in our subconscious, but it doesn’t send the command to do anything: to search and connect.

I’ve been consistently working on this idea of setting my subconscious a question for nearly a year and I have noticed differences in my results. Here is what I’ve learned, through trial and error, and some corresponding research.

Ask quality questions

Good questions invite action and expansion. The subconscious loves making connections and having something to do, and it loves good questions.

Secondly, the focus of the question makes a difference. A big difference.

If I send the question ‘how can I feel less tired all the time?’ it’s a negative question. The focus is on feeling tired, so that’s what you are telling your computer to focus on. The resulting thoughts and feelings will reflect this focus. ‘Tired’ in, ‘tired’ out.

By rephrasing the question to: ‘How can I re-energize myself this week?’ the focus is positive, on energy and feeling energized, and the results will follow suite. By setting a specific time frame of this week or tomorrow, you are also setting nice manageable parameters for your subconscious to play with.

I found that it was worth spending a little time phrasing my questions so they were positive and specific. The five or ten minutes I spent weighing the question until it felt right and in line with what I wanted was worth it in results.

Get your ego to let go

When we hold on to our issues in our conscious mind, it can cause stress and frustration. It’s not surprising really: it needs options and space with which to consider decisions or have that insight.

Essentially, you need to take a break! It might sounds surprising to say that to find the solution, you should stop consciously working on it. Remember: Archimedes didn’t have his ‘Eureka’ moment until he had his bath.

Sherlock Holmes, although a fictional character, would play chess or the violin when wanting the answer to something that had him stumped. I wonder how many times Arthur Conan Doyle did something similar as he allowed his mind to percolate his stories and ideas?

Personally, I find taking a break allows me release the build up of pressure in my thoughts, meaning that the only headbanging that I do is to music.

Take a break to be more productive.

It is an effective short term solution. It gives ‘engineering’ time to sort through data and make connections, send the results back up to the bridge and … ‘Eureka!’

Nap to release the ego

Thomas Edison would regularly take a nap when faced with a problem. He is famous for taking a nap in his chair while holding two metal balls in his hands, which would drop and wake him if he fell into a deep sleep. The answer or insight would often be there upon waking.

Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla were also famous for their napping habits.

Did you know that famous British prime minister Winston Churchill had a bed in the Houses of Parliament, and was convinced that his regular siestas and power naps were part of the success of his governing?

I used to laugh at the idea of a power nap—they’re for grannies, right? But I found I was wrong and that sometimes a brief bit of downtime refreshes my energy levels, and allows my subconscious mind to shine. The subconscious doesn’t sleep, remember, so a brief bit of shut eye effectively releases my conscious mind’s hold on a subject so that ‘engineering’ can do what it does best.

Sleep, perchance to dream…

Napping is good, but what I find to be most effective is to ask a question at night, right before sleeping.

In bed, nice and relaxed, I like to review my day and send a question to my subconscious to play with while I recharge my batteries.

I’m literally working in my sleep.

One article on neural plasticity published in the ‘Frontiers in Neural Circuits’ journal explains that —

During sleep, new synaptic connections are formed, and old connections are ‘cleaned up’. This can allow you to see patterns where none existed before.”

Edison is said to never have gone to sleep without first setting his mind a question. Those patterns mentioned in the article are what give us the solutions and insights the next morning.

Write your pre-sleep question down

Writing the question down before sleep helps me twofold.

It helps me to think about, and carefully form, the best question to give me the best answer. It also reminds me in the morning what I’d asked.

Writing it down at night to review the next day keeps me on track.

This has become a part of my nightly routine—a sort of mental hygiene. In the same way that I brush my teeth at night as part of my dental health, I also review my three wins and set my question in my journal as part of my mental health.

Journal in the morning

The technique of setting your question at night before sleep works really well in conjunction with morning journaling.

I’m not talking about the ‘what I had for breakfast and my back aches’ type of journaling, but rather a form of writing where we move ourselves into a peak state of focus and set our most valuable priorities for our day, sculpting our future before it happens.

Some use the habit of ‘morning pages’, where they brain-dump, first thing in the morning, as they write without specifically filtering ideas. Nedd Herrmann in his work on brain waves confirmed that there is something special about capturing your mental state upon first waking:

“During this awakening cycle it is possible for individuals to stay in the theta state for an extended period of say, five to 15 minutes — which would allow them to have a free flow of ideas about yesterday’s events or to contemplate the activities of the forthcoming day. This time can be extremely productive and can be a period of very meaningful and creative mental activity.”

This creativity is vital. It allows us to think from a different perspective and see what we couldn’t see before.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that writing morning pages is just for, say, creative writers. It can be used by anyone wanting to access their full range of brain power.


Your Beautiful Mind

Our mind is amazing. What I see in my personal experience and research on this topic is that it is possible to maximize our potential and productivity through a simple habit.

  • Create a question.
  • Let that question resonate.
  • Trust your subconscious mind to come through for you.
  • Go do something else, like sleep.
  • Be ready and aware for the answer.

Promoting greater balance and cohesion in my mind is important to me, as is working smarter—not just harder—to create what I want.

I’m no Einstein or Churchill, but by emulating their habits, I can better my own, and then let those habits improve my life. I also have less headaches now, and I’m having fun playing with this simple technique to increase my creativity, insight, and productivity.

After all, that’s not something that I’m going to lose any sleep over, right?
