When uploading to the blog, I guess because I do this frequently, I have to prove that I am not a robot.
Fortunately there is no test to prove that I am not a clone, or we'd be in a lot of trouble I guess, especially with the aggressive marketing of Wang-Fitzpatrick, The Human, in six-packs at Woolworth supermarkets now.
John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

Chanting as Entrainment
I really like the Krishna chants not because they are religious at all, to me...but there is something very nice about the cadences that I find really charming...in the real sense of 'being charmed' and that's what I would understand as 'entrainment'...the warmth of sound that reverberates so beautifully within that my whole 'being' just feels quite good and optimistic.
I believe that we are all called into existence for this one time
We live this life for the time we live it, doing good, doing nothing, doing bad, etc., as we most best prefer. We are called into being by some voice that wakes us up from the usual nothingness of universe, and we do live here and we do belong here for this time, and at the end of our time, we don't go anywhere else, we just go into the usual nothingness of universe; but before that natural consequence of being by nature mortal, sometimes we see or hear the face or voice that called us into being. What the job of life is, well, no one knows...because it isn't a job at all...but I do know that face, and I do know that voice, and I do love the music of being, and I do know the meaning of being.
The Pure Delight of Krishna
To me, I love the sound and image of Krishna, tho I have no interest in what it is or means, apart from loving it. I don't know what Krishna is, except the wonder of beauty. I would be very happy for Krishna to me my God. I am most happy with any god who never demands that I give them money...and , of all the Gods, well, I think Krishna suits me most...and I love the entrainment in the songs...so beautifully human.
