There is indeed a killing tradition here Gabby. I hover regularly over the Milgram electric moderation control button left in my care, always lacking the courage to send you to the eternal moderation of another. This is a daily routine here at Planet of the Apes Central. The idea of pulling the thorn from the lions foot is not about then sticking it where it really hurts. I sometimes think your days with Uncle Screwtape gave you the wrong ideas.

-- The Zombie notion is dealt with rather well in Mein Kampf, the real bible of modern entertainment, politics and newsrooms. The 'masses', a term one might take as meaning 'everyone except Gabby' forget everything, are confused by multi-faceted argument and need to be fed fairy tales and repeated slogans to keep them on the same correct page. One sorts out a focus, vilified in caricature, for hatred - here roped together old men referred to as 'Zombies' - before making everyone in the way of the ego that must be, the enemy, including, as with the Wahabi Berber warriors in Saudi, those who have done the ego's initial killing. Anyway, the story has long paled. I can love you, poison and all. And Allan owns the coffee machine,
Allan is probably wrong on the Whirling Dervishes. I did see a performance once, with a Jewish woman who thought I was a gift from god. Nice chaps, though I would have preferred to watch women. We had a drink afterwards, once no authorities were watching. Yemen uses 40% of its water growing the 'herb of the prophet' (have we tapped this market Chris?). Sufis do a lot of stuff in pursuit of religious moments of experience. Francis Bacon and Ernst Mach were similar experimenters. I often find what I feel people are doing to each other in company as so distressing I have to drink to stay with the experiment. The Zombie stage seems to be reached early, before lips taste the amber nectar or pinot noir gifts from god.
The Zombie might be a good metaphor for management development. Put under training and therapy, it recovers and gains new strength - to be an even better Zombie back in the workplace. Of course, many mental patients recover in therapy, only to relapse once back amongst normal zombies. I have forgotten the Lord's Prayer, National Anthem and school hymn. They come back to me amongst zombies, a bit like the 12 times table, or at least I can hum along.
My own theory is that zombies are kept in most individuals under a thin skim of 'education', waiting to be broken out when needed by the Establishment as soldiers, voters, workers, prostitutes ... Tony's recent link to Wax Taylor shows a lot of what I mean.

Zombies are those who have no understanding or intellect of their own , but follow blindly the interpretation and direction of others and need not be extremists but normal people.

There also those that study hard memorizing religious documents and selected passage having no real compension following the D&D without questioning the value or truth.
The other problem of those that act to follow ethics of humanity committing rape and enslavement of others.. The question is do you want to become like them by responding in the same manner?

Subject: Re: Mind's Eye ZOMBIESAllan , those of us irrespective of religion or clime , who follow someone or something without conscious effort to understand the dogma and act as if taken along by the current of extremism are Zombies. But those who apply their mind to understand things and then act with resolve and determination to do what they understand to be right are really free as can be. Such extremists who consider themselves to be free and yet act contrary to humanity are not zombies but butchers and need to be exterminated.--On Mon, Feb 9, 2015 at 7:31 AM, <allanh1946@gmail.com> wrote:When I first thought of a zombie topic, it was a dead air filler. One of the things I found out there is an islamic cult that actual strive to reach a spiritual zombie state ..commonly known as the whirling dervish.
And I thought the idea of a spiritual zombie to be an original idea. Goes to show just how little I know. My original thought was that there are what appear to be spiritual zombies mindlessly following religious teachings without questioning the dogma and doctrine. Not to say anything about teachings.
Wonder if it will fair better this time?
