I´m surprised how much people (not only here) talk about the Sting-ego. Sting is highly interested in yoga and imo in buddhism as well. And the main goal in buddhism is nibbana, which means that the mind is free from the context of ego. Ego is an illusion (a projection of our minds). In the space of our minds we project ideas about ourselves and "the others". All these projections and material wishes forms an ego. Sting is imo higly aware of this. It´s not "his" ego, because Sting is ego. What makes us alive is not our personalities, but the energy of spirit. Mind is a tool of spirit and this tool creates ego. I´m not amazed by Sting. I´m amazed by the spirit that manifests itself through Sting. We are spirits in the material world.

I hope this was understandable. :)

Yes absolutely right, I read some books about a fascinating part of buddhism called Vajrayana, I might say it's close to tantrism. The main goal is to realize the illusion of our ego (although this idea is a really profound and complex idea). Sure Sting is aware of that.

Well said sting1993, I think peoples image of his ego is vastly misunderstood.

I don't know what this train is doing up here, but never mind.

About Sting and "his" ego. Well I think he is just an ordinary person, with more life experience than a lot of other people. What makes him extraordinary is the fact that he is doing something with it, he is in a constant learning process and is inspiring people to do so as well. He is not living the ordinary life of ordinary people, but he is also not living the ordinary life of other celebs.

....so.... let me get it.... the spirit beyond Sting is.....errr....... a choo-choo?...

I agree with you, sweetwine but don't you remember that the pleiades cluster core radius is about 8 light years and tidal radius is about 43 light years. The cluster contains over 1000 statistically confirmed members, although this figure excludes unresolved binary stars.

THE NIGHT TRAIN

In the unreason of a rainy midnight
France blooms along the windows
Of my sleepy bathysphere,
And runs to seed in a luxuriance of curious lights.

Escape is drawn straight through my dream
And shines to Paris, clean as a violin string,
While spring tides of commotion,
(The third-class pianos of the Orient Express)
Fill up the hollow barrels of my ears.

Cities that stood, by day, as gay as lancers
Are lost, in the night, like old men dying.
At a point where polished rails branch off forever
The steels lament, like crazy ladies.
We wake, and weep the deaths of the cathedrals
That we have never seen,
Because we hear the jugulars of the country
Fly in the wind, and vanish with a cry.

At once the diplomats start up, as white as bread,
Buckle the careless cases of their minds
That just fell open in the sleeper:

For, by the rockets of imaginary sieges
They see to read big, terrible print,
Each in the other's face,

That spells the undecoded names
Of the assassins they will recognise too late:
The ones that seem to be secret police,
Now all in place, all armed, in the obvious ambush.
(by Thomas Merton, written in 1944)

This thread got so lost it is ridiculous. But I am anxious to see Narnia Prince Caspian but am more anxious to see The Dark Night. But what has any of this has to do with The spirit of Sting you guys. I am so so confused.

Some Sting appreciation from the movie Dear Frankie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P6Ldw-vYt8

Yes I know he wrote this for the movie Kate and Leopold but this is such a sweet movie and this song goes with it well and that is the Spirit of Sting at work. And if I am not making any sense. I just decided to join the club.

Now dreaming . . .It went like this. I found myself walking in a casino. As I walked by a slot machine I put in a coin. With one play I found myself surrounded by blinking lights and coins spilling forth from the machine. I had won the jackpot. It was either S900.00, or $900,000 dollars I can’t remember. (I think it was $900.00).

As the machine was spitting forth its prize suddenly the flow of coins slowed, became clogged, jammed, and stopped. An attendant appeared over my right shoulder and opened the bottom with a key. As he opened it 5 small rodent like creatures scurried up the sides of the machine and up the wall. I thought they were mice.

The attendant said “It must be rats”.
Sure enough as he swung open the chest of the machine several dead rats and a filthy nest like area were exposed. What we saw running away were babies.
I said “It looks like they have been there awhile, couldn’t anybody smell this when they were decomposing?”
The attendant smiled and chuckled as he pointed off in no particular direction and said “Look around, how could we”.

Disclaimer: Although I don’t spend too much time in casinos, I have nothing against casinos at all - to each his own. It was just a very real, vivid, movie-like dream.

Any psychologists in the house?

Is the movie Casino any good?

OH yuck yuck yuck. I am not afraid of rodents but I can't tolerate them either especially Rats. You think they would clean out their machines once in awhile. I live very close to a lot of casinos so I go there once in awhile If I thought there were rats in them I would walk away and never come back. I have never won more than $80 though. Too bad it wasn't the $900.000 Strabismus. Stop Laughing there are a lot of casinos in the midwest. There are 3 just across the river from Omaha in Council Bluffs Iowa.

The video was lovely.
And yes the movie "Casino" is good if you like those kind of movies.

yes there are psychologists in the house and pretty much Sting is a narcissistic arrogant ego dystonic prick

STing will always be an egotistical man. HE needs to control and manipulate the situation. For now he is doing that with the POlice. That is why the set lists are boring, short and he is not challenging two other great musicians and the crowd. Sting has become boring banal. HE talks about challenge but his last album and this current tour proves that it is not. Sting should just make the Police album

"MAKER'S MARK"

Well, it`s a very strange thread... - the only one thing I understood here...

As I was riding my cycle down the road I noticed a group of crows pecking at something in the middle of the road. As I approached they all, except one, fearfully and cowardly, retreated to the high canopy of the trees. As I passed their smeared dinner I couldn’t believe my eyes. The one that was left was one of their own. Crippled from the lower half down, still alive, it appeared to be devouring itself. Some sort of twisted self-abuse I suspect. It appeared to be tastefully enjoying the humiliation of its own massacre. It may have been a trick of the wind which appeared to be giving it life but my testimony would be that this creature was still alive and feasting on its own self.

I am what I am and that's all that I am
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man
I'm strong to the finish 'cause I eats me spinach
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man

STing is still an egotistical man
no amount of buddhism or yoga has obviously helped but I can think of some psychotropic meds that can

every person should think about what he's done himself firstly or thou shalt not throw stones

where's that piece from , Strab?

This site has fast become a place for "tantrum throwers" and just "utter silliness"...

Do we need to make a "time-out" section for some of you little kiddies?

Wait until your Father (or Mother) gets home!

What is up with this thread it is all over the planet. I agree Sport lets make a time out room. Maybe thats what Karel should do.

Ok this is really getting... oh wait can't use that word per um... I will let you the readers insert your own word in that spot.

Stewarts site is being sane compared to whats happening here at Stingus.net

The Police fans got a reunion tour, Stewarts fans know this and for what I've read are happy with it (granted I didn't read many of the threads). I figured that the tour would start, more people would become members, we would start having Police VS Solo wars during the tour. Then more of the same afterwards - which we seem to be having.

We have those people that love to stir the pot, thats fine its their opinion. We have those that swim in the pot while its being stired. We have those that um smoke the pot... and then we have me whose body has gone to um pot (I guess I better go to the gym - yeahhhh rightttttt)

Now we do need that Romper Room Time out room whose building it?

excellent idea, romper room!! That is the first thing you've said that I can agree with.

we like to see you pleased

only once so far but STing still needs to make that Police album now that Dom has gone in a corner crying away. I'm sure there is room for him in the romper room

we like to see you dimmed

You read my dream sweets.

I was on Bet-lehem road just outside of Jerusalem asleep.

In my dream I found myself, and I, in a restaurant in the Armenian quarter of Old Jerusalem having a pizza. On the television in the restaurant there was a horse race going on and the whole world was watching. The track ran around the perimeter of the wall of the Old City. The two horses in the lead were named Ashqelon and Ashdod. I awoke before my dream ended to a whispery voice saying "Iran may deliver". I wish I would have sent it to you two weeks ago.

Yesterday during a nap (still dreaming) I was in a hospital in a meeting with all the "heavy hitting" leaders of that organization. I saw a plastic bag moving around the room and tried to interrupt their meeting but it seemed unimportant to them. Suddenly, a great black bird of some kind swooped down and flew in the bag. The bird seized a mouse (which was causing the bag to move about) in its beak and it too became trapped into the bag. The bag left the room and began causing turmoil throughout the hospital. To the observer it was just a bag moving about wreaking havoc. Its contents were a mouse and a great black bird of some kind.

Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

GRIZZLIES DROP OPENER TO RASCALS


http://www.gatewaygrizzlies.com/news/?id=6732

June 10, 2009 - O'FALLON, MO.-The River City Rascals defeated the Gateway Grizzlies 7-2 Wednesday night in the first of a two-game series at T.R, Hughes Ballpark. The game was called after seven and one-half innings due to heavy rain.

The Grizzlies (6-11) managed just four hits against Rascals' starter Jake Laber. Laber went the distance for the win.

Thought for the Day, June 15, 2009
http://www.mertoninstitute.org/weekly_reflections.php

"... before reading, meditation and worship turn into contemplation, they must merge into a unified and intuitive vision of reality.

In reading, for instance, we pass from one thought to another, we follow the development of the author's ideas, and we contribute some ideas of our own if we read well. This activity is discursive. Reading becomes contemplative when, instead of reasoning we abandon the sequence of the author's thoughts in order not only to follow our own thoughts (meditation), but simply to rise above thought and penetrate into the mystery of truth which is experienced intuitively as present and actual." ...

"[T]he contemplative intuition of reality is a perception of value: a perception which is not intellectual or speculative, but practical and experiential. It is not just a matter of observation, but of realization. It is not something abstract and general, but concrete and particular. It is a personal grasp of the existential meaning and value of reality."

from "The Inner Experience" by Thomas Merton, pages 59-60.

Chicago White Sox nip Chicago Cubs 8-7

"For much of the afternoon, it was a ragtag playground contest of leapfrog, one that finally ended in a massive impromptu game of piling on.
Yes, the White Sox celebrated at second base like kids, burying Gordon Beckham, the youngest of the bunch, in a scrum after he drove home the winning run Saturday with a dramatic walk-off single against the Cubs.
"To do it against the Cubs in the ninth inning with a walk-off is pretty special to me," Beckham said." ... :-)

"... as Hawk would say, "Sit back, relax, and strap it down.""

Chicago Cubs forever. At least they beat the first place Cardinals 2 out 4 games. Which in itself is a miracle. But I do love the White Sox too.

Obama kicks off historic night in St. Louis

"Over the top. Unbelievable," said Tim Brosnan, Major League Baseball's executive vice president of business. "It was overwhelming. You saw history.

"No major sport has ever taken its biggest marketing platform and dedicated it to the 30 people in local communities. This is the first major sport to do it, and we did it with the cooperation of the president of the United States." ...

Brosnan was asked about the pitch, and he said of advice that had been rendered: "I tried. I wish he'd threw it high and hard. But he made it."

I couldn't believe they had the President in the booth. I was astonished.

"Court Finds Bear Guilty Of Stealing Honey
9:28am UK, Friday March 14, 2008

A bear has been found guilty by a court of stealing honey from a beekeeper.

The animal was convicted of theft by the court in Bitola, in Macedonia, following a year-long case.

However, he was excused from attending court.

The case came after a beekeeper reported the bear for stealing his honey.

He told the court he had to protect his hives by playing thumping folk music.

Beekeeper Zoran Kiseloski told the court: "I tried to distract the bear with lights and music because I heard bears are afraid of that."

He said he bought a generator, lit up the area and played songs by the Serbian turbo-folk star Ceca.

The court heard the bear stayed away for a few weeks but returned when the generator ran out of power and the music stopped.

Mr Kiseloski added: "It attacked the beehives again."

The court found the bear guilty but since it had no owner and is a protected species it ordered the state to pay for the 140,000 denars (£1,700) damage it caused to the hives

There is no information on the bear's whereabouts."

From "Pop"artmachine

"The exact origins of the use of a checkered flag to end races are lost in history, although there are many theories. A possible theory is that horse races during the early days of the settlement of the American Midwest were followed by large public meals and that to signal that the meals were ready and racing should come to an end, a checkered tablecloth was waved."
