TEMPEST SAID TO STY*ME:

*

"Please let it (or him) die. Also, don't tell me what to think, what not to think, what to say, what not to say what to perceive, what not to perceive, what to judge and what not to judge. etc. Let me be me. Don't try to control me or tell me what to do & what not to do."

*

*

In other words:

*

I REFUSE TO ALLO*W YOU OR ANYONE ELSE TO STY*ME!

*

*

I guess that would bother me if my name really was Stymie. Nah, no it wouldn't.

I called you out because you are a hypocrite but I find the majority of people I have met that called themselves Christian are hypcrities, hence the reason I have nothing to do with most religious people.

I DID let it die. I was not going to respond anymore but here you are.

Just as batshit crazy as ever, Tame.

BING was running through my head this morning when I got up. Thought I'd share since it's related to the word STY (fence). I haven't heard or listened to this song in many, many, many YEARS! I'm guessing it's a sign cuz I have no idea why it was in my head when I woke up.

*

DON'T FENCE ME IN

*

*

*

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above

Don't fence me in

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love

Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze

And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever but I ask you please

Don't fence me in

*

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies

On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise

*

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

And I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

*

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies

Don't fence me in

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love

Don't fence me in

Send me off forever but I ask you please

Don't fence me in

*

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies

On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise

Ba boo ba ba boo

*

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

And I can't look at HOBBLES and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

*

No. Poppa, don't you fence me in.

Hopefully, you meant to say that I'm not a hypocrite.

I don't like "religious" people either. However, I love the Lord's true servants. They're wonderful.

*

I've run into PLENTY of hypocrisy myself over the years (from "religous people"). Trust me.

*

However, I thank the Lord for the wonderful truly God fearing people in my life. You know, all 5 of them.

You are indeed a hypocrite.

Simply put, no I'm not.

Tempest said:

Simply put, no I'm not.

That book you like says don't judge people. Hence, you are a hypocrite.

And since I have shot Trem's thread to hell, I'll leave you to your own devices.

You're absolulely WRONG about the Scriptures and judgement (sin etc.). Obviously, you haven't spent much time in the Bible.

*

Here's an example of Paul passing judgement on sin: Read 1 Corinthians 5 (especially verse 3).

*

Therefore, you don't know what you're talking about. There are many examples if you would take the time to actually read and study the Bible.

*

Once again, I'm being projected on and now being called a hypocrite. A title I don't deserve. First a hater and now a hypocrite.

*

I think I'll take Tremolina's advice and leave this place. I'm not welcome here at the Org. That's clear.

*

I trust myself to God and no one else. He will expose the truth in due course.

*

Take care.

You are welcome here T, and I didn't advice you to leave the org.

My only issue with you is that you didn't keep this thread about Prince, after I explicitly and repeatedly asked you so.

My issue with stymie is that she took it even further off topic. Now it's really all about you and even how she sees you. No, no, no girls!

Either behave respectfully and stay on topic or leave my thread alone. Is what I am saying to both you, any of you that wants to share his or her piece.

Everybody is free to do so, but those are the RULES. And I've stated them plenty of times enough.

Thank you all.

So far, only dJJ has had the guts to get into the checklist.

Superconductor said:

Tremolina said:

Definition: A superconductor is an element or metallic alloy which, when cooled to near absolute zero, dramatically lose all electrical resistance. In principle, superconductors can allow electrical current to flow without any energy loss (although, in practice, an ideal superconductor is very hard to produce). This type of current is called a supercurrent.

In addition, superconductors exhibit the Meissner effect in which they cancel all magnetic flux inside, becoming perfectly diamagnetic (discovered in 1933). In this case, the magnetic field lines actually travel around the cooled superconductor. It is this property of superconductors which is frequently used in magnetic levitation experiments.

Superconductivity was first discovered in 1911, when mercury was cooled to 4 degrees Kelvin by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, which earned him the 1913 Nobel Prize in physics. In the years since, this field has greatly expanded and many other forms of superconductors have been discovered. The basic theory of superconductivity, BCS Theory, earned the scientists - John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and John Schrieffer - the 1972 Nobel Prize in physics. A portion of the 1973 Nobel Prize in physics went to Brian Josephson, also for work with superconductivity.

Technically correct. Although I borrowed my name from Andy Allo's album with Prince and their understanding of the term was focused on the energy flow.

To stay technically correct', it's the electric flow without energy loss.

That is physically speaking very hard to find and achieve.

In Prince terms, it seems to refer to that.

Can you post the lyrics to the song? I can't seem to find them...

[Edited 8/26/13 10:44am]

I would like to go back to what stymie said, when she was still behaving. She said that she thinks Prince tried to live up to his name.

I think that's a really interesting and on topic statement.

And I would like to discuss it. Unless of course nobody dares to. Then I will just "let it go" and we shall just leave this thread "to die".

I think stymie is spot on with that observation. However, I think it goes a little further and deeper still. I think Prince didn't just live up to his name, he still does and it's not like it is a simple choice, it's like who he really is.

Pretty complicated but awesome guy. Kinda negative, yet also very positive.

I don't have time to stick around the Org for all the games. Honest.

*

I have a life and a business to run (amongst other things). Therefore, no time for games.

*

I'm sure the checklist will get figured out in time.

*

I have nothing more to discuss about Prince. At least not at this time. I'm giving the Org a rest.

*

All the best.

In that case, all the best to you as well.

We all need to give the org a rest every now and then.
It's only healthy.

Tremolina said:

Here are the lyrics to Superconductor. I misheard a few words lol. Feel free to correct any mistakes.

And I noticed a few new things in the song, like the chant and Prince's use of the mickey mouse voice like in Breakfast Can Wait at the end.

I wanna be loved by a superconductor

Every night another symphony

Some like a spiritual music

You and I in perfect harmony

The first time, anticipate

Don't need a reason, it's better to wait

Rock'n roll, marriage, consumate

Everyone's invited so don't be late

Every time we lavitate

Our body rhythm it's just so great

In perfect time, never late

Never to early, we syncopate

I don't need to know about your past, you don't need to know about mine

Maybe until I see every words and actions match up in rhyme

I don't need to hear about the things you want to find out and die???

Then we gonna see if we gonna stay at your place or mine

I wanna be loved by a superconductor

Every night another symphony

Some like a spiritual music

You and I in perfect harmony

[piano and chanting]

From ???? City to Cameroon

We make 'em happy, we make 'em swoon

This rock'n roll life, sleep until noon

Might take its toll very soon

Despite the odds we like our chances

The music heals, the spirit dances

In a moment too a spare room ain't???

It's just another reason to get in my pants

We don't wanna talk about the ones who say we're living in a dream

Maybe they are the ones that are sleeping need something to believe

Obviously give us a towel???, give us more reason to stare

As long I got you by my side I really don't care

I wanna be loved by a superconductor

Every night another symphony

Some like a spiritual music

You and I in perfect harmony

I wanna be loved, loved, I really do

Never knew a feeling like I do with you

Sugar sweet verse, ??????, all around the world

I wanna be loved by a superconductor

Every night another symphony

Some like a spiritual music

Love

Superconductor

All around the world

Sup Sup Sup Superconductor

Superconductor said:

Is it true that in the last few years (maybe since 2010?) Prince's lyrics do not have so many spiritual references anymore? Also lyrics in songs released this year have none of that spirituality. Even FIxurlifeup which should have some serious lyrics given the song title, imho has really silly lyrics.

To me these lyrics seem pretty 'spiritual':

Prince's last truly spiritual or religious album was TRC.

It seems he decided not 'go there'anymore. You should have seen the many fans crying bitching and complaining then...

Lotusflower has some elements, and there is some song here and there on 3121 and PE.

But 20ten was his last official album, so I am not really sure about the last couple of years.

The 3rd eye is a 'spiritual' concept.

It all depends upon what is ur definition of spiritual.

To me spiritual refers to that which is not material, or all that is immaterial, not physical or ruled by the laws of physics. Not necessarily just God, but God included.

spir·i·tu·al (spr-ch-l)

Superconductor said:

Tremolina said:

To me, this is not a spiritual song. Yes it has the word spiritual in the lyrics but it is essentially a love song, about meeting your soul mate, being onthe same wavelength or in sync with someone. Which btw has nothing to do with superconductivity. [Edited 8/28/13 18:18pm]

I think "meeting your soul mate" is quite "spiritual".

Superconductivity is indeed a physical phenomenon.

However it's one of those hardly understood phenomena that borders on the spiritual. After all, a superconductor loses no energy.

Superconductor said:

raddahone said:

Indeed. The word spiritual could refer to gospel music. Or it could refer to metaphysical or religious themes. And more broadly anything non-physical. The 3rdeye is a mystical concept and New Age (mis)uses it. That concept can be found in ancient Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish mysticism thought/writings. But the songs performed by 3EG are not at all mystical or spiritual IMHO. There is a song called 3rdeye on The Truth album. And I guess playing with three women lends itself to calling it 3rdeyegirl. Makes it sound interesting. Is someone with the name Prince/Primeal supposed to be mystical/spiritual?

The 3rd eye can be more than just a concept. In yoga, it is one of the chakra's that once it is 'opened up' will give you 'clear sight'. Not with your physical eyes, but with your 'spiritual eye'.

I wouldn't consider superconductivity as spiritual however it is mysterious.

That superconductor concept is quite different from what the song lyrics are about, which are about being in sync, bodies moving to the same rhythm. Maybe the superconductor in the song is a super conductor, as in a very good conductor of an orchestra. See the use of symphony in the lyrics.

In any case, it's more than just 'normal'. More than just 'natural'. It seems special and a mystery.

Something that is very high and hard to achieve. Pretty mystical concept, even tho' the metaphor is a physical phenomenon. A physical phenomenon tho' that borders on the spiritual. Or is closest to it. It's like the song is saying: I want to be loved by somebody spiritually.

I also wanted to share this, from the website that I got this from:

Numerology

Our basis for reflection is numerology, or the science of numbers. Nine essential characters allow us to keep count and express all possible concepts and ideas. This simple surface appearance conceals other more profound, symbolic and esoteric significations. Pythagoras, the father of modern mathematics, was also an initiate of this discipline and he taught his students about the hidden face of numbers and their occult meanings.

The Pythagorean tradition, issued from the school that he founded in Greece in the late 6th century BC, has passed down this knowledge. As ancient as astrology, numerology explains that everything is composed of cycles, periodicity and vibration. We discover this approach in all of the archaic traditions, oral and written. The sacred texts of all of the major religions are filled with references to this effect. The Hebraic tradition associates the twenty-two letters of the alphabet with the twenty-two corresponding sounds and the twenty-two paths of the Tree of Life. The Bible, another coded language, allows us, in the Apocalypse of St. John, to pose certain questions about the relationship that exists between the symbolism of numbers and the contents of the twenty-two chapters of this text. Closer to home, Jung, the father of modern psychology, associated this symbolism of numbers with the notion of the collective unconscious: we retain within ourselves the memory of all of the symbols, archetypes and myths from which humanity was engendered. But our objective is not to explore the theoretical aspect of the science of numbers, so the references and historical analysis will stop there; however it is necessary to understand these basic principles. The Christian tradition constituted a list of all of the known saints.

From the Scriptures, we know about their respective lives, their deeds and even their personalities. Their names are already attached to the myths and symbols that are inscribed into the collective unconscious, which contributed to the formation of their personalities through their vibrations. Many centuries separate us from their time, and the way of life was very different then, however, we each carry the memory of the whole of history within us and conform to certain behavioural schemas without even realising it. The first nine numbers, beyond their primary quantitative representation, are in essence profoundly symbolic, esoteric and qualitative, of incredible scope and amplitude.

http://www.first-names-meanings.com/numerology.html

Numerology also borders on the physical and the spiritual. It's basically an ancient science, but with strong spiritual connotations.
