The Real Football Factories: London - Documentary

Later for you Pats haters, it’s Monday people. Last night was a terrible night for American football, so I figured we take it back to the motherland (of white people) and talk about some real football.

I know Americans are too good for soccer, because we like sports that are more controversial, corrupt, and easily fixed, but sometimes you just gotta branch out (esp. when your American Football team just giftwraps games for their opponent). I mean, think of all the soccer fanatics in the world!

Besides, soccer has this great thing going on with hooliganry, the likes of which could only be found in a Red Sox v. Yankees rivalry in America. I know there are other heated sports rivalries, but none where the fans kill each other and crap. Anyway, watch the video and enjoy. It’s about hooligans for God’s sake.

First Light: An Introduction to Meru Foundation Research by Stan Tenen

The Hebrew Alphabet, Genesis, and Kabbalah: What is The Meru Project? Using the objective tools of science, Stan Tenen has studied the mathematical structure underlying the sequence of letters in the Hebrew text of Genesis. His research has shown that the geometric patterns fundamental to modern physics were available to us long before physics per se was considered an independent science. These patterns are intrinsic to the Hebrew letter-text of Genesis, and were known to traditional Kabbalists and sages. Studying these patterns leads to a deep understanding of the framework of our own existence, and ways to access our potential to improve ourselves and the world around us. The Meru Project has discovered that the sequence of letters in the Hebrew text of Genesis reveals a simple yet extraordinary and unexpected series of geometric models whose intrinsic meaning describes processes inherent in fields as diverse as embryology, modern physics, and consciousness studies. Meru research demonstrates that the Hebrew alphabet, in its early rabbinic form, is at its core a universal language of gestures. People from all cultures, even those who are blind from birth, and children before they speak, make spontaneous use of this natural language. The gestures of the Hebrew alphabet express universal needs and choices. The benefits of using this extraordinary and uniquely elegant model range from personal and spiritual growth to the expansion of scientific knowledge.

Crazy.

Just as some fun facts - Meru is a section of Kenya, and the people who live there are the Meru [which becomes more interesting when you consider that Hebrew is a Semitic language - a language family that may have its origins in Ethiopia, which currently borders Kenya]. Meru is also the name of a mountain in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions - which sits at the center of the cosmos.

I’d appreciate it if some of you ninjas could let me know what you think of this film. *Note: Mouse over the actual image and a play button will appear!*
