>
> The Sulukule neighborhood, situated in the Historic Peninsula of

>
> The alleged "urban renewal project" is a reconstruction plan which
> involves the complete demolition of the current neighbourhood, home
> to more than 3000 Roma, and its replacement with housing which is
> unaffordable for most of the original inhabitants. The Roma will be
> forcibly moved from their 1000 year-old historical neighborhood to
> an area 40km outside the city. Moreover, as the municipality wants
> them to pay for the public housing they will receive, this forcible
> move is accompanied by a debt obligation that they will not be able
> to meet.

> Because it will evict the Roma of their home, annihilate and
> assimilate the Roma culture in Istanbul, the project needs to be
> stopped. Your support is crucial to carry out this feat.

> The Roma first came to Istanbul from India in the 11th century when
> the city was still the capital of the Byzantine Empire. And they
> spread around the World from here. Following the conquest of the

> Mehmed the Conqueror, they were settled near the city walls in the

>> Subject: Ram Narayana
>>
>> Stephen LaBerge, Lucid Dreaming (New York: Ballantine Books,
>> 1986), pp265-267, Dreaming, Death, and Transcendence.
>>
>> The case of Ram Narayana vividly illustrates how far delusions of
>> grandeur can be taken by the semi-lucid dreamer.
>>
>> Narayana, an Indian physician and editor, had been perplexed by
>> the problem of how to convince "the creatures of his dream,
>>
>> during the dream state, that it really is a dream."
>>
>> He finally gave up trying, having decided that even if he
>> succeeded, convincing them could serve no useful purpose.
>>
>> Therefore, Narayana resolved to enjoy himself instead and to pass
>> his time while dreaming "as comfortably as possible."
>>
>> Consequently, next time he went to sleep, he addressed "the
>> assembly of his dream characters" as follows:
>>
>> "Friends, why don't you try to attain the state of extatic and
>> immortal bliss, entirely free from pain of every description?
>>
>> This state of bliss can be obtained only by entering into the
>> celestial region, the abode of the Supreme Creator.
>>
>> To this region I go daily and enjoy its pleasures for twelve hours
>> out of every twenty-four.
>>
>> I am the only incarnation and representative of the Supreme One."
>>
>> Narayana indicated that "the majority of dream creatures believed
>> in the above speech."
>>
>> A minority were skeptical of his claim of being the "Only
>> Manifestation of the Supreme Deity."
>>
>> What about Krishna, Christ, Buddha, or Mohammed? demanded the
>> doubters.
>>
>> They received the reply that "all those great men had come from
>> lower regions and were only theoretical in their teachings
>>
>> and nobody ever attained salvation through them, that the dreamer
>> alone came from the hihest spiritual plane,
>>
>> and that he would teach them the only sure and practical method of
>> reaching that region."
>>
>> Having been made the usual promises, they were charged the usual
>> price, being then told the chief condition of initiation was
>>
>> "to have implicit faith in their preceptor, the dreamer."
>>
>> Narayana went on to explain, in terms well known by the leaders of
>> cults everywhere, that "the most effective means to hypnotize
>>
>> them all in a body was then employed, which consisted of looking
>> intently into the eyes of the guru, the dreamer,
>>
>> while sacred hymns and songs of love and devotion were being
>> recited in a chorus.
>>
>> They were further impressed with the idea that ultimately every
>> one of them would reach the highest region, after one, two or more
>>
>> re-births, but having complete faith in the dreamer would reach
>> there the soonest."
>>
>> Narayana claimed that "the method proved so satisfactory that the
>> dreamer was actually worshipped by every one of the dream creatures
>>
>> and was pronounced to be the only true spiritual guide.
>>
>> He now considered himself in no way less fortunate than so many
>> leaders of the various faiths, in the waking world,
>>
>> who enjoy the pleasure of being devotely worshipped by their
>> disciples."
>>
>> This comical parody of spiritual cults would have its tragic
>> aspect as well, were it not for the fact that Narayana was eventually
>>
>> able to progress beyond this state of inflation.
>>
>> He dreamed that he fell in among a group of yogis who managed to
>> enlighten him in the following dream:
>>
>> ... another elderly figure from amongst the dream creatures rose
>> from his seat and overawed the assembly with his long grey beard
>>
>> and his yogi's staff.
>>
>> He began his oration in a curious and amusing manner, though with
>> an authoritative tone, his voice quivering with anger and his
>>
>> gaunt index finger pointing towards the dreamer: "What reason have
>> you to call us your dream creatures and yourself the creator
>>
>> of us all? If you are our creator we say equally empathetically
>> that so are we the creator of yourself. We are all in the same boat,
>>
>> and you can claim no sort of higher existence than ours. If,
>> however, you want to be convinced of my statement, I can show you
>>
>> the creator of us all, i.e. of yourself as well as ours."
>>
>> With these words, he struck the dreamer on his head with his heavy
>> staff, who, in consequence, woke up and found himself lying
>>
>> in his bed with his mind extremely puzzled.[15]
>>
>> The yogi's point is that the dream ego (mistaken for "the dreamer"
>> by Narayana) is just another dream figure.
>>
>> The actual creator of the dream is not part of the dream at all -
>> being, in fact, the sleeping self.

Drowning Man with Cellphone

Second Life

When life appears as a film
of a drowning man's self and its dead fight
shows the face of a film of a drowning man's
drowning in a whole which drowns.

de verdrinkingsmens

Second Life

Wanneer leven verschijnt als een film
van de verdrinkingsmens zelf en zijn dode strijd
het gezicht toont van een film van de verdrinkingsmens
eigen verdrinking in een geheel dat verdrinkt.

Memento Morti


Definition:

Abbreviation for 'Before Common Era', a non-religious alternative to
the use of B.C. in designating the first period of the Gregorian
Calendar, the era of prehistory and much of antiquity.
B.C.E is the partner of C.E. - a replacement for A.D.: Anno Domini,
The Year Of Our Lord – and itself replaces B.C., Before Christ.
Unfortunately, the repetition of c and e means B.C.E can often be
confused with C.E., especially by someone scanning quickly.
