Metabarons and Technopriests TM U N I V E R S E G U I D E WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF ALEXANDRO JODOROWKSY ABRIDGED EDITION PREFACE Phew! My head’s on fire!… I just blew a diode! But I’m not complaining — quite the opposite. I’m happy, for I know at last that I’m not human… The limitations of my bio-organism had been depressing me. Even more than that, it’s been the walls of the mental prison that hem us in from childhood, the “rational” mold called school. But then came the Yéti Mu- tants: Fred Le Berre, Marc Prudhomme, Kurt Mc Clung, and Julien Blondel. They put me under the red-hot rays of their psycho-interrogation lamp and bombarded me with questions for a full fifty hours. Initially, I was overcome with feelings of anger. What right did these young griffins have to dare infringe upon the inner recesses of my cerebral maze in this way, hunting down answers that like giant jellyfish were floating along the veins of my unconscious? But I had a plan! Slowly, step by little step, I was going to give them the keys to the Incal Universe, which is the same as the Metabarons and TechnoPriests. A hugely immense “oeuvre” that would have taken me at least ten years to recount. But I hadn’t been counting on the young mutants’ impatience. They wanted to know every- thing, right away. Showing no respect they fired off their mental probes, assaulting my impregnable Data Bank and under the incessant fire of their questions, my human mask disintegrated. I ceased being a man and became a universe. Far, far away, in an ethereal zone where my body didn’t exist, I saw myself giving away tons of secrets, with an absolute precision that I had never before dared to imagine, even in my dreams. At the height of the trance, streams of words — barely comprehensible for they were of human origin — gushed from my mouth, laying bare the hidden structure of the cosmos, the nature of the people who live there, the mysteries of parallel universes, thousands of centuries of history, countless weapons and vessels, outrageous doctrines, judges and laws, and billions of other things as well… A new chapter in the history of my Jodoverse came to life with each one of their questions. A moment of extreme ecstasy! A singular experience that can only be compared to what happened to me one day in Mexico while meditating in a Buddhist Temple with a Japanese Zen master. Suddenly, he subjected my spirit to a koan — a sacred riddle conceived to break the straight jacket of the intellect: “I have no beginning, nor end. Who am I?” I knew very well that some monks go into retreat for ten or twenty years looking for an answer, which isn’t necessarily expressed in words. But, body taught with effort like a readied archery bow, I wanted to find the solution in that very instant: “I am god; that’s it, I am everything.” Full of wrath and disdain, the master threw me out of the temple: “Intellectual! Learn to die!” My failure was filled with such disgrace and shame that a part of me died on the spot. Instantaneously, I became another. And from the deepest reaches of my unconscious, a voice that was already no longer human exclaimed: “There is no beginning and there is no end. There just is.” Thank you for your questions, Yéti. They blew my diodes. They made me into a galaxy of answers, nothing but answers. Ever since, I roam infinite space, in search of the first and last question.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 4 8 1 0 6 - 1346 Abstract The majority of research for this thesis took place during the Thai general election of 1988 when the new religious movements Santi Asoke and Wat Dhammakaya were subject to investigation for political activity despite, respectively, defiance or denial. The relationship between the Thai Sangha and lay devotees is examined in order to discover how it is that Thai monks, whom many researchers find powerless, can be accused of political activity. In the past, monks have been used to legitimate lay political leaders and have taken active roles in local leadership. This thesis aims to determine whether monks in Thailand have power and, if they do, how such power becomes politically threatening to the status quo.

  • New World NW 271 Jazz Historians Explain the Coming of Bebop—The Radically New Jazz Style That Established Itself Toward
    Bebop New World NW 271 Jazz historians explain the coming of bebop—the radically new jazz style that established itself toward the end of World War II—as a revolutionary phenomenon. The motives ascribed to the young pioneers in the style range from dissatisfaction with the restrictions on freedom of expression imposed by the then dominant big-band swing style to the deliberate invention of a subtle and mystifying manner of playing that could not be copied by uninitiated musicians. It has even been suggested that bebop was invented by black musicians to prevent whites from stealing their music, as had been the case with earlier jazz styles. Yet when Dizzy Gillespie, one of the two chief architects of the new style, was asked some thirty years after the fact if he had been a conscious revolutionary when bebop began, his answer was Not necessarily revolutionary, but evolutionary. We didn't know what it was going to evolve into, but we knew we had something that was a little different. We were aware of the fact that we had a new concept of the music, if by no other means than the enmity of the [older] musicians who didn't want to go through a change.... But it wasn't the idea of trying to revolutionize, but only trying to see yourself, to get within yourself. And if somebody copied it, okay! Were he able, the other great seminal figure of bebop, alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, would probably amplify Gillespie's opinion that the new music arose from inner needs rather than external factors.

A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF LONE MOTHERS ON LOW INCOME WITH REFERENCE TO SUPPORT IN THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES By Josephine Patricia Dearlove BA (Hons) Sociology / Social Policy Thesis submitted for the qualification of PhD University of Warwick Department of Social Policy and Social Work March 1999 ABSTRACT The thesis invites women to voice their perceptions and experiences on being lone mothers, in receipt of Income Support and what 'support' means to them in their daily lives as carers of pre-school children. This qualitative study is set against firstly, the backdrop of the increasing numbers of lone mothers and their reliance on income support. Also prevalent was a negative discourse around lone motherhood. Secondly, lone mothers were encountering the consequences of a restructuring of social and welfare policy and practice, with the changing boundaries between public and private responsibilities impacting on their daily lives. Thirdly, within this changing socio-economic and political landscape, both neo-liberal and 'third way' governments identify kinship as the appropriate resource for families in need. The study draws data and analysis from the perceptions and experiences of, initially, thirty-three women in five focus groups and more particularly, from thirty- seven lone mothers on Income Support.
