Pelecanus occidentalis: Harbin has always been hippy-flexible, Harbin bought in 1972 & sold to Heart Consciousness Church, Ownership

Harbin ethnography:


... Nudity in the 1970s and '80s, and the 1960s too, may have been much more widespread on the Harbin property.

Harbin has always been loose, relaxed and pretty hippy-flexible, and while Ishvara bought Harbin in 1972 and sold it to Heart Consciousness Church in 1975, which continues to 'operate' both Harbin Hot Springs, Sierra Hot Springs, as well as the new Harbin property in Lake County called the Diamond J Ranch, about 10 miles away, counterculture has played an important role in Harbin ownership questions, as place. So many people have come through the Harbin main gate, and it's everyone in the aggregate that have given form to the Harbin tribe on this Harbin property. And most of these people have paid to visit, or have worked at Harbin, and all are members of Heart Consciousness Church (HCC), as both an important expression of the New Age, and as a tax-advantaged organization; HCC, culturally, in my experience, plays a very low key role on the Harbin property, however. While so many things bring people to Harbin, some significant attractions are the ongoing practice of going into and out of the pools, the visuality, the dances, and the workshops, all of which comprise a kind of Harbin ownership. These are the people – Harbin residents and visitors - who enjoy being there, find freedom there and give of themselves, economically. And, emerging out of a hippy ethos, and radical way of seeing questions of ownership, no one is in charge, in important ways. In one sense Heart Consciousness Church is no one, Ishvara takes a very Taoist/New Age approach to ownership questions where Harbin kind of runs itself, and while there are some low key, hippie-minded managers, a board, and others related to a legal organization, I interpret HCC as letting things take their own course, where Harbin's culture significantly informs a kind of fluid ownership. In many ways, mingling naked in the warm pool, and pool area, is an important metaphor for ownership at Harbin, where the 'shared vision' of Harbin as place is a kind of ownership.

While there are a handful of businesses on the Harbin property, in many ways, being part of this place, this Harbin-family is what makes you able to have a business. ...

Pygmy Seahorse: Is NEUROPHYSIOLOGY a helpful term? Can we LEARN to play our neurophysiologies as musical instruments? Perhaps we do this singing

Is NEUROPHYSIOLOGY a helpful term?

Can we LEARN to play our own neurophysiology as a musical instrument?

(Perhaps we do this anyway when we sing, for example).

Ecstasy - mdma - is my starting point for defining the term neurophysiology as a specific, very enjoyable in this instance, biological experience.

I think the word neurophysiology allows us to begin to think how to make music with it innovatively, exploratorily and naturally :)

Sing more in specific ways (and with music we like, too)?

These musicians are 'ONE-ING' with their guitar four-hands - cross-handed, too :)

Lovely music, as well ... http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1107177801715 :) (worth re-visiting:)

their brains are synchronized, it appears ...

In what ways is it possible to do this with a landscape, or the relaxation response ...

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Relaxation_Response

and exploratorily? :)


... seems they've learned this, together, as well, and neurophysiologically.

... So, can we learn the enjoyable neurophysiology of one-ing, especially with a friend?

Female Elephants: How to create a nurturing, supportive, collaborative, empathic, highest quality World Univ & Sch, Friendly Committee Process

How to create a nurturing, supportive, collaborative, empathic, highest quality World University & School - like MIT OCW with Wikipedia - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects.

(For academic subjects, WUaS uses MIT OCW courses as a basis, and then facilitates wiki-adding to them, or teaching a related course, or starting a subject you wish to) ...


Committee decision-making in the manner of (nontheist) Friends (Quaker) as process - yes ... to create a nurturing, supportive, collaborative, empathic, highest quality World University & School.


‎... with a great manual ... :)

WUaS is a distributive network as is wiki as is the web.


*

Quaker process, emerging, loosely, with the industrial revolution and Enlightenment in England (1650s) seems to have ameliorated and mitigated some of the worst of human Pan troglodytism (common chimpanzee-ness - violence, war), at least within the Society of Friends, -interesting cultural discourse in modernity.



See, for example, both the nontheist Friends' subject
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_%28atheist_Quakers%3F%29


and Quaker subject
(http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends) wiki subjects - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects

- which you can engage. WUaS is like Wikipedia with MIT OCW where you can teach, add, create & learn.



JDM:

My dad's ancestors built the first Quaker meeting house on Long Island. (Or something like that.)


Scott:

For a close-locally article, see Check out the NYT's piece "A Colony with a Conscience" by Columbia University historian Kenneth Jackson on the Flusing Remonstrance and Quakers
a few centuries ago
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/27/opinion/27jackson.html

and here at the Nontheistic Friends' Wikipedia entry
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Friend) or WUaS subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_%28atheist_Quakers%3F%29

- great Friendly historical contribution :)




JDM:

Dig you, big scholar. That's great. Will do. Thanks, Scott.

Space Andromeda: Harbin's vision includes clothing-optionalness, Sierra Hot Springs, Nudity on the Harbin Property

Harbin ethnography:


... A hippie vision of vision has found form here at Harbin in the pool area, as place, ethnographically, too.

While Harbin founder Ishvara's vision includes, and has long included (since 1972), clothing-optionalness, so nudity as a kind of practice, on all of the Harbin property, his vision includes, nominally (Ishvara MacLeod Personal Interview 2008), creating Harbins all over the U.S., although this has never panned out in actuality. Sierra Hot Springs, Harbin's sister springs, about 4 hours away in the Sierra Valley, and also clothing-optional, is an example of how a second place, which shares Harbin's vision has taken shape in actuality; Heart Consciousness Church manages both places, and being a HCC member is required, and share a credit card system. At Harbin itself, one regularly sees people going without clothes around the Gazebo in Mainside, along the village path, and in the Meadow area, but in the the pool area, nudity is widespread, and quite normalized, for men and women. Part of the expression of nudity on the Harbin property has to do with topography – the waters and nudity in the pool area go together. The other places I've mentioned on the Harbin property are all in relatively close proximity to the pool area. And in the Harbin Restaurant, Harbin Market and Blue Room Cafe, California state law prevents clothing-optionalness, and most people respect this rule, although Harbin and visitors could and do readily 'question authority' (as a hippy thing) on property. Sometimes in the dances in the Harbin Conference Center and in the Harbin Temple, people are naked, and dancing, but these, too, are some distance from pool area, where clothing-optionalness is most widespread. This has been a pattern in my observation since 1993 or 1994. Nudity in the 1970s and '80s, and the 1960s too, may have been much more widespread on the Harbin property.

Harbin has always been loose, relaxed and pretty hippy-flexible, and while Ishvara bought Harbin in 1972 and sold it to Heart Consciousness Church in 1975, which continues to manage both Harbin Hot Springs, Sierra Hot Springs, as well as the new Harbin property in Lake County called the Diamond J Ranch, about 10 miles away, counterculture has played an important role in ownership questions as place. ...

Purple flower: Great music circle - would stream it here if I had streamable audio on handheld computer - at the Hall of Flowers in the GG Park

Great music circle -

would stream it here if I had streamable audio on this handheld computer -

in front of the conservatory of flowers in the Golden Gate Park -

they're making music, man -

& via http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School

- and then we could jam along :)


Sax, trumpet, 3 electric guitars, a bunch of drums

- amazing what people bring into the park

- modulated music

- they're jamming, slight smell of doobie, one woman dancing, kids in the circle - they're making music, connected, in a groove


... beautiful hall of flowers behind the music-makers ...


very fine guitar player is playing 'do ray me fa so ... doe a deer'


‎... music moves into some very fine blues ... blooming poppy beds - yellow & salmon - all around ...


... there are a lot of interesting hats among this circle of musicians ...


‎'Take a load off Annie' - Jimmy Page song - (about which there's a good 2009 movie - "It Might Get Loud')

... the song moves into a jam ...

Feels like the Rainbow Gathering



African American man is lying on his belly playing flute


think I'm hearing the 60s again

- guitar player is singing 'cause we are the people and do believe' ...


‎... an African American woman from another circle folds her hula hoop into a figure 8 as she walks away

... now the music starts to get down

... nice sax, good beat ...



O for much much much more bandwidth

...'give me a liitle horn, give me a liitle horn,' someone says, and horn and guitar come in

... so nice

... how to jam better with on this handheld with finger piano keys, in rhythm

... into oneness
