The Three-Headed Man

Tweaking the direction of life? An advocate for change? Self-Improvement? To tweak or not to tweak?

THE THREE-HEADED MAN wonders about he can change anything in our life.

Striving to use time better? Striving for an idealized life? Somehow in the midst of talking about the possible changes that can be made in one's life, THE THREE-HEADED MAN stumbles into death. A frank discussion of dying ensues.

THE THREE-HEADED MAN talks service. Who do you service? What is service? Service is in the physical realm. Doing the dishes...???

Service industries...do we do the service for ourselves?

Earning merit.

Unseen service and Ego

Jimmy starts us by talking about charging a local guy with assault. His lawyer tells him there's no liability in truth. Opinions and individual perspective. Community communication. Being honest and truthful. Inserting oneself into situations. The boys collectively explore the limits of honesty and lawlessness.

THE THREE-HEADED MAN wonders whether he should die on the cross of his opinion or negotiate and perform deferential behavior.

Season Three begins with Jimmy's return....The Original Cast is reunited -- a hearty welcome to back to Jimmy.

"Other Beings" is inspired by Jimmy's and Jaswant's work in the Labyrinth's Readers Course. As they begin this course, Jimmy is reminded of the need to connect to and communicate with other beings, and this reminder prompted him to bring it to our weekly conversations.

All three cast members are well versed in the readings from the American Book of the Dead, and their conversation springs from this. The course the Jimmy and Jazzy are taking intends to help readers make contact (or better contact) with the being. Often these prayers or instructions are sent to those who have recently passed.

In a broader sense, the conversation centers on applying what has been learned. How does one practically apply the great knowledge? It's nice to know things, that's for sure, but how does one put it into practice?

How does one apply what one knows?

Welcome to Season Three of THE THREE-HEADED MAN

This week's coversation begins with a 1990s recollection of Robert Anton Wilson and his ideas about information doubling. With the context established THE THREE-HEADED MAN explores the various types of information: technology, progress, overload, etc...

One could summarize this week's talk as "boomers talk about the immensity of the world" or "boy the internet has a lot of information".

THE THREE-HEADED MAN attempts to understand, "what is quality?" It's another tarnished word, and its significance can be applied to God and to Toyota. On the other hand, one can ponder the quality of their life or extract quality from a moment.

THE THREE-HEADED MAN ponders, "When wishing for something, who do you ask?"

Who do you pray to? Who ya gonna call? Who do we ask for help? And, when help or good luck has been received, who do you thank? Where do we send our gratitude?

THE THREE-HEADED MAN tells jokes. One-liners, stories, punchlines, and misses.

Can our words change what can happen and/or what could happen? Ordinary words create incantations.

Do we have the power to influence events?

Superstitions -- "Don't say that, or it will come true." Or the "Power of Positive Thinking."

THE THREE-HEADED MAN concludes with a few thoughts about remembering our existence.

THE THREE-HEADED MAN ponders punishment. "Does the punishment fit the crime?"

Consequences, Rehabilitation, and Benevolent Dictators.
