zombiebaby 7021 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-06-05, 09:27 AM (EST) "Dharma Initiative Orientation Film" Polor bears! Asian man! Swan project! Magnetic research! An incident! What else! Thought we should start a thread devoted to the Orientation film. I googled Dharma Initiative and found this( I thought Dharma Drum Mountain looked like it would be related to our hatch). Not much except I thought this was interesting: http://www.dharmadrum.org/mission/mission.asp "The Earth Charter Campaign is a global campaign involving individuals and organizations from around the world working together to protect the Earth, our home." However what I thought was funny that when I Googled there is now a Lost sponsered link on the side bar! A PhoenixMons Creation   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Look at the projects the foundation supports. ____________________________________ All Rights Reserved Terms of Use The Hanso Life-Extension Project The Hanso Foundation Electromagnetic Research Initiative The Hanso Quest for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence The Hanso Mathematical Forecasting Initiative The Hanso Cryogenics Development Imperative The Hanso Juxtapositional Eugenics Development Institute The Hanso Accelerated Remote Viewing Training Facility _____________________________ Did you notice that there is a mouse-over that says "Dharma Institute" under the Remote Training Facility. Link is not active. When you try and access the links to any of those projects, you get some bogus access denied message. What is cool is the message at the end: Thank you. Namaste. Good Luck. I always do this in yoga class and didn't know why... Namaste: For, Hindu(s), of course, the greeting of choice is "Namaste," the two hands pressed together and held near the heart with the head gently bowed as one says, "Namaste." Thus it is both a spoken greeting and a gesture, a Mantr(a) and a Mudr(a). The prayerful hand position is a Mudr(a) called Anjali, from the root Anj, "to adorn, honor, celebrate or anoint." The hands held in union signify the oneness of an aparently dual cosmos, the bringing together of spirit and matter, or the self meeting the Self. It has been said that the right hand represents the higher nature or that which is divine in us, while the left hand represents the lower, worldly nature.

Hinduism & Buddhism: The principle or law that orders the universe. Individual conduct in conformity with this principle. The essential function or nature of a thing. Hinduism: Individual obligation with respect to caste, social custom, civil law, and sacred law. Buddhism: The body of teachings expounded by the Buddha. Knowledge of or duty to undertake conduct set forth by the Buddha as a way to enlightenment.

"Summary of Film - and comments" LAST EDITED ON 10-06-05 AT 11:30 AM (EST) Film from The Dharma Intitiative Film # 3 of 6 entitled "Orientation" Lost episode 3 entitled "Orientation" Station 3 - The Swan logo is an octagon - stop sign imagery? Presentor is an asian man named Dr. Marvin Kandel (sp?) Dharma Institute was founded in 1970 by Gerald and Karen DeGroot who were PhD candidates at the Univ. of Michigan. Followers of B.F. Skinner. They wanted to develop a large scale comunial compound that studied meterology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology and electromagnetism. Zoology - polar bears. Parapsychology - Walt. Electromagentism - drawing planes and boats to the island Funded by utopian, social, cursive (didn't get that word) Danish industrialist and munitions magnate Alvar Hanso. Does anyone recognize the building that the Danish guy is in. Has a sculpture in front of it. Don't think the Danish industrialist is Locke's dad, but it must be someone we know or will know as his face is obscurred. Munitions magnate...can anyone say magnetic bomb? Maybe that Easter Island theory isn't that far off. Station 3 is there to study the unique electro magnetic fluctuations that emanate from that part of the island. There was an incident and thus the 108 minute protocol began. Alarm sounds within 4 minute of something. The numbers - 108 the total of previous number. Repeat of # 4. Computer should not be used for anything but... setting up future conflict or mystery? Film is copywrited by the Hanso Foundation, 1980. Film was made 10 years after the Institute was created. 108 minute incident happened before 1980 since it was referenced in the film.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

It is the bagua in the Later Heaven configuration. Traditionally has the T'ai chi symbol in the middle and the Swan's curved neck matches how that works. There is thread around here where I talk a bunch about it. Here is a look at the traditional symbol I think the logo is based on. It is fairly standard chinese philosophy in graphic form you see it used a lot. Some Feng Shui practioners use it Here is one item with what it is for http://www.luckywonders.com/BaguaYinYang.htm A fair number of people make jewlery with the Bagua on it, one of the people in my Tai Chi School does them.

zombiebaby 7021 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-06-05, 02:52 PM (EST) 21. "Swan Project" Now I have been trying to look for swan references in mythology online. But unfortunately two little kids keep getting in my way! I don't know if I am barking up the wrong tree by going the Buddhism route, but here is a link about some of the basic teachings. There was not much with a swan either with Buddhism or Hinduism. But that could be that I did not look hard enough http://online.sfsu.edu/~rone/Buddhism/footsteps.htm Buddha: The Enlightened or Awakened One. The word 'Bodhi' means to awaken Dharma: Teachings of the Buddha Four Noble Truths: The first teachings spoken by the Buddha: the truth of suffering, the cause of suffering, the end of suffering, and the Path leading to the end of suffering. hungry ghosts: Ghosts that suffer a lot because they are greedy karma: 'Action' or the law of cause and effect. For every action there is a cause lotus: The lotus symbolizes the purity of the Buddha. It grows out of mud, yet it is not defiled by it Noble Eightfold Path: The Buddha's prescription for ending suffering. It is made up of eight parts: right views, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. Of course since I am looking for stuff to relate to Lost you can read anything into any website I am enjoying the hunt in all this, perhaps more than anything. Props to the creators for trying to use the internet to gain further interest!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

WaterDrop 592 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 10-12-05, 07:51 PM (EST) 43. "RE: Swan Project" LAST EDITED ON 10-12-05 AT 08:09 PM (EST) Following your Buddhism lead, here's information about Dharma. Whether it's relevant or not, I don't know, but there is some information about the "Wheel of Dharma." About Dharma: Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to suffer, but very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering. We tend to look for happiness outside ourself, thinking that if we had the right house, the right car, the right job, and the right friends we would be truly happy. We spend almost all our time adjusting the external world, trying to make it conform to our wishes. All our life we have tried to surround ourself with people and things that make us feel comfortable, secure, or stimulated, yet still we have not found pure and lasting happiness. It is time we sought happiness from a different source. Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions. If our mind is pure and peaceful we shall be happy, regardless of our external circumstances, but if it is impure and unpeaceful we can never be truly happy, no matter how hard we try to change our external conditions. We could change our home or our partner countless times, but until we change our restless, discontented mind we shall never find true happiness. About the Wheel of Dharma: Buddha's teachings, which are known as "Dharma", are likened to a wheel that moves from country to country in accordance with changing conditions and people's karmic inclinations. The external forms of presenting Buddhism may change as it meets with different cultures and societies, but its essential authenticity is ensured through the continuation of an unbroken lineage of realized practitioners. Buddha's teachings are said to be like a precious wheel because, wherever they spread, the people in that area have the opportunity to control their minds by putting them into practice. *ETA* From this link: Most Buddhists use a rosary called Jyuzu when they pray. Jyuzu, the 108 beads, is said to represent the number of earthly desires which common mortals have. and from here: mala: a string of beads for counting prayers and other spiritual practices (like a rosary). The ideal number of beads is said to be 108, which is the number of different basic types of obscurations and obstacles that need to be removed or purified. and from here: (5) Why are there 108 beads in a mala (rosary)? Answer: According to the Upanishads, a person will breathe 21,600 times a day. It is broken up into two parts, day and night. Therefore, during the day we breathe 10,800 times and at night we breathe 10,800 times. Because it is not practical for us to chant the name of God during every breath, we should chant them at least 108 times. Every time we chant the mantra its fruit is multiplied by 100. Hence, if we say it 108 times it will really equal 10,800. Now my brain hurts, but I have 30 minutes to work on my thesis before Lost starts.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
