Legendary master filmmaker Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, Cave of Forgotten Dreams) examines the past, present and constantly evolving future of the Internet in Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World. Working with NETSCOUT, a world leader in-real time service assurance and cybersecurity, which came aboard as a producer and led him into a new world, Herzog conducted original interviews with cyberspace pioneers and prophets such as PayPal and Tesla co-founder Elon Musk, Internet protocol inventor Bob Kahn, and famed hacker Kevin Mitnick.
These provocative conversations reveal the ways in which the online world has transformed how virtually everything in the real world works, from business to education, space travel to healthcare, and the very heart of how we conduct our personal relationships. In the words of executive producer Jim McNiel, “It’s a journey even Werner, with his immense imagination and inquisitive mind, didn’t expect. Unless you have lived in the technology space, you don’t yet fully appreciate what dwells there.” Herzog adds: “It is one of the biggest revolutions we as humans are experiencing.”

If I had to pick a favorite from among Cream‘s many excellent songs, this would probably be it. There are a couple of “live” versions of it posted on YouTube, but the sound is far from the best, here is the “studio” version.
Maybe with a bit more research I can find something that shows what these guys were really capable of in the heat of improvisation. Jack Bruce once remarked that he and Ginger Baker were “refugees from Ornette Coleman” (or something along those lines – at any rate, basically free-jazzers at heart). What that makes Eric Clapton in this context, I’m far from sure.
And I seem to recall that Mike’s favorite café in Paris was called “Cream”, too. One wonders, did they have the complete works of this band playing on an endless loop inside?
Also, last but far from least, many thanks to Richard Branam for posting “White Room”, reminding me of this music…
ADDENDUM: I find Jack Bruce’s singing here to be pretty clear, but just in case, one can find the lyrics to this song here.
“To tell someone, with fullness of heart, ‘I love you,’ is virtually the same as saying, ‘You shall never die.'”
–Gabriel Honoré Marcel (December 7, 1889 – October 8, 1973) was a French philosopher, playwright, music critic and leading Christian existentialist. Wikipedia
“In each of us there is a rejected part which can become the cornerstone like it’s written in the Bible, and we have to be aware of the stinking side, of the bad smelling side, as Jung says, about the urine, about the excrement and all that in our lives and this is the beginning of the way of God. This is the beginning of the transformation.”
–Dr. Lilliane Frey-Rohn
“The psychology of individuation has nothing to do with politics at all because it deals with the ultimate values, but yes, it has shattering political implications. We cannot behave as if this journey into the collective unconscious hasn’t happened, because it has happened. We can’t plead ignorance any more. It has happened and because it’s happened, because we are facing an objective universe within as great as the universe without, we can never be the same again. We cannot ignore it and it has enormous political consequences for us. And the kind of society, the kind of politics that will save us will have to be aware, more important than any other quality in our politicians. We must demand psychological illumination, psychological awareness, because otherwise we get people sparring with their own shadows. Otherwise, you’ll get nations, as we had in 1939, by the Germans projecting their shadows onto the Jews, and then when they’d eliminated the Jews, onto the Poles and God knows whatnot. Jung often said to me, the human being who starts by withdrawing his own shadow from his neighbor is doing work of immense immediate social and political importance.”

Cream – White Room, studio version.
Lyrics:
In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment
I’ll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
I’ll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She’s just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
I’ll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
I never met a girl could make me feel the way that you do
(You’re all right)
Whenever I’m asked what makes a my dreams real
I tell ’em you do
(You’re outta sight)
Well tweedle dee, tweedle dum
Look out baby now here I come
I’m bringin’ you a love that’s true yeah, get ready (get ready, get ready)
I’ll stop makin’ love to you, get ready (get ready, get ready)
Get ready, ’cause here I come (I said I’m on my way)
Get ready, ’cause here I come
If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind ya
(You’re all right)
The lovin’ you’re gonna miss, and the time it takes to find ya
(You’re outta sight)
Well tweedle dee, tweedle dum
Look out baby now here I come
I’m bringin’ you a love that’s true yeah, get ready (get ready, get ready)
I’ll stop…
“If you’re aiming at something difficult and profound [say, the actualization of your own divinity] and you’re really working at it, then your life is going to become perhaps more difficult and profound.”

Today August 21st 2017 marks the day of the total solar eclipse. Watch it live as it passes over the United States.
Greetings and salutations. This morning, with the eclipse happening, I was prompted to do something different.
This time, I wanted to experience the eclipse as a personal integration of myself. Not often do I take the opportunity to examine my ordinary human activity as a cosmic event, but I took this eclipse as an opportunity to do so. To spend time in quiet reflection of the heights and depths of my life experience, looking at those eclipse moments.
I considered my reactions, to the experiences, the cycling of so-called darkness and light in my own life. Those places where the light in my life has been temporarily affected by darkness and how I responded to it. Surprising, how I had grown during and after those times of darkness in unexpected ways. I contemplated on how we, as human beings, try to hold back the dark, “the unknown” by desperately trying to hold onto our static experiences.
I chuckled because sometimes static experiences may feel that we are able “To Live In the Light,” when in fact, it is by consciously embracing our own natural cycles of darkness and lightness we live fully, adding a richness, depth, and meaning to our lives by revealing the Light that would not be there otherwise.
While doing this process, going through the cycles in my consciousness, that of light to dark then cycling back into light once more, I did a simple ritual of release – considering and in some cases naming, those things in my life that may be ready to change or that I need to let go of in order to receive the re-conceived Light. I then had a quiet, yet an internal moment of a high hot shout, where I stated to the Universe “Come on Something.”
I am looking forward to next meeting perhaps it will be a meal and/or cocktails, but it will, of course, contain Life tales.
Love and Hugs
