Statement to the members.

[mex]

The Video is based on JD Salingers book Franny and Zooey,
 The guy has learnt of the Jesus Prayer.(said from the seven centres of the body). Its very complicated book but estemtially its an state of enlightenment you achieve without trying, problem is once you know how to achieve it your trying!!! So you get trapped into a paradox of self prayer.
(very Taoist concept).


the guy is trying not to try, you can't see what he says as the camera cuts away from him when tells.
Radio head represent Zooey, who's sister Franny has learnt abouth the prayer and is withdrawing from the world due to nature of the prayer, they are sitting looking on knowing of the outcome but unable to do anything to alter the results.

Can't wait till i get to bore someone with that later on. Don't know why i never looked into it, having watched the video so many times and wondered what it was about.

Whats really sad is that i only know that because the song reminded me of the book, and then i saw the video it clicked straight away, i forgot about it then about 10 years later i saw Tom talking about how frustrated he got with the idea if the jesus prayer/ uncarved block theory(pu).

btw anyone heard mark ronsons version of just?

[matt674]

hmmmm, i'm an expert when it comes to "not trying" but no sense of enlightenment here. Maybe that will change once i get electricity connected to the treehouse!!

[I KNOW IT]

Damn, Ive been to Asia for a couple of weeks and seemed to have missed all the fun

Are there any links to the original  "Nemesis" thread which has caused this debate , if so PM me.
I do not know the reasons behind Nemesis leaving, suspension or banning ,but I would feel it an injustice in not posting my sentiments about him.

Nemesis has helped me no end with any techy probs ive had, and sometimes i bet it has be infuriating for him trying to get me to understand via PM. As Im a total novice with that type of stuff.
He was one of the few members posts i took time to read as he has a good understanding of the game and true poker world.
I for one truly hope he returns,if allowed too,that is.
If not, Good luck for the future Nemesis, if you happen to read this.

Most of us feel the same Craig, Nem was most helpful to many of us.

He was not banned, he was suspended for 2 weeks, which has expired now, & he is free to return, if he so wishes.
