I attended a meeting last Friday

 

FN #14 -Death / 18 reserved, and about 10 attended

upload

• 3 days ago · 7:00 PM
• Caffe Pascucci

It is a subject a few people want to talk about. But once you think about it, death is a whole lot more than the fear we have of it.

Especially in the time we live in......See all

(I found this relevant and interesting interview with Mr Dannion Brinkley):

 

Ep. 592 FADE to BLACK Jimmy Church w/ Dannion Brinkley : Died Three Times : LIVE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fcPH2dIDi8

Published on Jan 19, 2017

Dannion Brinkley is author of The Secrets of the Light, Saved by the Light, and At Peace in the Light. He is loved and respected worldwide for his inspirational lectures on the Near-Death Experience, Palliative and Hospice Care, Complementary and Alternative Healing Practices, and Self-Awareness. Since 1977, Dannion has worked diligently, looking for the best way to integrate conventional and complimentary medicine.

Having survived numerous brushes with death, Dannion is an expert in the dying process. He was struck twice by lightning and has since survived heart failure, open-heart surgery, ruptured subdural hematomas, brain surgery, and a massive grand maul seizure. That first lightning strike radically changed his life. Dannion became a hospice and nursing home volunteer. In the past 25 years of volunteer service, he has been at the bedside of over 600 people at the point of death, and more than 2000 during their final days, accruing more than 32,000 hours of service.

THE STREET ARTIST of Don Bosco : Jhalanie Lava Matuan

 

A mentioned this woman at the last Meetup. Almost every morning, she sits with her art outside the Don Bosco church.

Though she has a tough life, she lives by sharing the beautiful dreamy images from the inside of her head.

 

 

Look at these pictures - They are Joyful! (despite her hard life.)

 

I cannot read her messages, which are written in her own language,

but I am told they tell of an illness, and her need for money.

And also maybe some past documentaries that she was in, or was involved in making.

 

I give her a little money everytime I see her. And she gave me permission to take the above photo.

I pass other beggars, and sometimes I give them money too. But not always. This one, I always give her something.

Why? Because she wants to share something. She does not just want money. And it is inspiring that whatever challenges

that she may be facing, she can still find beauty in life... and wants to share that.

 

I would buy a picture too, if I had a place to hang it so others could see it, and may be be inspired too.

 

*****

Turns out that she is famous - at least on Youtube - see posts #18 and #19

CONFUSION Reigns! ... and then gets resolved in a "loving way"

 

/ 1 /

First, I got THIS message:

Your Organizer, Oj Condaya, just stepped down without nominating a replacement.

Without an Organizer, Friday Nights Philosophy Club will shut down on February 19, 2017.

Step up to become this Meetup Group's Organizer and you can guide its future direction!

Other members can help you. Ask them to suggest

 

To which I responded"

"I got a message like this: "The Group is shutting down. The organizer stepped aside"
Seems a shame, since the meeting that I attended was interesting, and the group was well-attended.
I wonder if it would help the group to stay alive, if they asked for donations?"

 

/ 2 /

Then, I got THIS message:

 

11:07 PM

Attention FNPC members: We are having payment issues on the subscription.

Hence the current status of me not being the organiser. We are still working on the payment.

The next meetup would be on February 10 and the topic is Love. Fitting for the current season we are in.

In Tonight's Meeting the group will discuss Changing Courtship patterns

FN #18 Romantic Love In Modern Society

• Friday, April 7, 2017

  7:00 PM

• Fundamental Coffee

  G/F Retail 3, Park Terraces Tower 1, Ayala Center, Makati, 1226 Metro Manila, Makati (map)

• Modern Filipino society and culture saw a change in the way we view love, courtship, and sex. With the popularity of social and dating apps, our preferences in finding our partners also changed. New norms in dating are created and many traditional ways are considered obsolete.

  
  

  But are these new trends make it easier or more difficult to find love in the society we live in?

  
  

  What effect technology plays in finding potential partners?

  
  

  And all the stuff about sex. Lol (Let's be honest here this is an inevitable thing in these discussions)

  See you on Friday. Please join our Facebook group:

A Future Topic? : The Four Horseman Video

 

(It was so-agreed. See next post, with some background on the film.)

[drbubb]

FNPC Metro South 2 -Four Horsemen

Friday Nights Philosophy Club

Saturday, April 29, 2017
1:00 PM

Exchange Alley Coffee House
Molito Complex, Alabang

The Four Horsemen documentary will be our topic for Saturday.
This will be an interesting discussion about society and its many problems. Join us this weekend!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1671513/

 

5.83 million hits with 46,289 Likes (0.79%)

 

A popular and fascinating documentary, which should yield an interesting discussion

===============================

(I won't be able to go - because I am out of the country - but let me share something with you all):

 

BACKGROUND on the Film

The modern day Four Horsemen continue to ride roughshod over the people who can least afford it. Crises are converging when governments, religion and mainstream economists have stalled. 23 ... See full summary »

Director: Ross Ashcroft

Writers: Ross Ashcroft, Dominic Frisby

Stars: Dominic Frisby, Gillian Tett, Lawrence Wilkerson

The funny thing (for me) is that I know both the Director and the Writer of this film reasonably well, from my days living in London.

 

In fact, Dominic is an old friend, who used to be a regular reader and a poster on this website - he used the name C--- C--- and has posted here over 3,000 times.

The final product is a good one, The documentary was successful, with over 5 million views - and I think it must have generated some substantial revenues.

But there were some disagreements over the final cut, control, distribution, and financing of the film. At one stage (and maybe still) the Director and the Writer/Narrator were not speaking to each other. That is a sad thing, since it killed the chances for operation between these two guys.

 

Here's an interview from last year with Dominic Frisby : 3,222 views

 

Comedian & Author Dominic Frisby On Why Brexit Is Great For Business and For UK Independence

 

> link to Dominic Frisby's own Video channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Frizzers

 

I have done several interviews with him, as both host and interviewee.

Here is one of the most recent we did together

ABOUT MONEY - and Dominic's Book : we talk about Cuba and the importance of freely circulating currency

Dominic has also written several books , and you can find more about them here:

I am no longer in direct contact with Ross Ashcroft, but wish him well - and he has done many interviews with Renegade Economists

Frisby's Bulls and Bears is still going strong - and here's an interesting interview

 

 

Sam Wilkin: Wealth Secrets of the One Percent

Wealth Secrets of the One Percent sounds like one of the self-help books what will show you how to unleash your inner potential. Actually, it tells the story of some of history's richest - from Crassus of Rome to John D Rockefeller to Bill Gates - and shows how they earned their vast fortunes by, simply, eliminating competition so they enjoyed vast monopolies.

Its author is economist Sam Wilkin and he joins me on today's programme.

MEET-UP Group "no longer exists" (officially)

 

But the meetings are continuing...

 

I have been told there will be one this evening

Where?

Rumors are - it will be here: Caffe Pascucci

[drbubb]

Future Topic?
Simon Sinek and his Ideas ... about Motivation & Belief

 

(as suggested by email):

 

This is one of Donald's Trump's friends, Simon Sinek.

I first heard of him about 10 years ago and he has been doing the speech circuit around fortune 500 companies. This is the guy that Donald Trump trusts to help grow his business for the last several years. His most famous speech is call the "Golden Circle". I think he is interesting and might be a good topic for the philosophy club....

Let me know if you think one of his speeches might be interesting for a topic

Here are some other videos that might inspire

 

The excellent Stefan Molyneux - the rising philosopher on Youtube - with 666k subscribers

 

He recently did an excellent interview with a guy who made the journey from being a leftwing member of Antifa > to being right wing

If you ask the right questions, and really pay attention to what is happening around you, this journey seems inevitable.

To many people have been brainwashed by jealous people academia to see themselves as victims, and members of victim-groups,

rather than independent actors who can think for themselves, and formulate their own views
