CYBERPUNK

Ridley Scott is set to direct a new "Blade Runner." Will it be a prequal or sequal; nothing is know yet except that Harrison Ford Will not be in the movie.  Scott has writers working on the script right now for the movie that is supposed to come out this year. Although the portmanteau was originally coined a year after the movie came out in 1982
the term has been aptly applied to this movie.  Cyberpunk features advanced science such as information technology and cybernetics coupled with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order. Cyberpunk uses elements from hard-boiled detective novels, film noir, and postmodernist prose to describe the underground side of an electronic society. The usual trope isthat there is a direct connection between the human brain and computer systems.

The movie was a box-office flop when it came it. Later, through TV and DVD releases it became a cult film par excellence. The movie is based on Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dram of Electric Sheep. The movie asks the questions: 1) who am I, 2) why am I here and 3) What does it mean to be human? In a signicant scene in the movie one of the androids, played by Rutger Hauer, kills the head of the corporation that actually designed him. His words to the genetic engineering genius - "It's hard to meet your maker."

ADI DA SAMRAJ REALIZED OR/AND DELUDED?

A new book by William Patrick Patterson addresses the first critical assessment of Franklin Jones, the first American-born Guru. The book takes Jones through his meteoric rise that brought him thousands of seekers until the sex scandals brought  a public shaming and his withdrawal to a Fijian Island hermitage where he, Adi Da Samraj, annouced he was God incarnate.

Mr. Patterson speak on his new book in New York and Towson, Md.

Occupy what?

Yes, we bailed out the banks and investment houses, but whith whose money? Doesn't the FDIC protect the depositor, so what if the bank goes under? Does anyone know who owns what anymore? What is a degree from any college worth now if I can't find a job? The movement is leaderless and without direction, so far that is. My parents had their dreams, what about my dreams? Hey wait a minute, the homeless are moving in, uh... Things are moving very, very fast and...
These are other questions about being asked around the world right now. But how to understand this, all in the moment, how to take this in and make sense of it. I'm usually thinking about my future and my past. How can I be present in the moment and not be living through my past or fearing the future?
It's interesting, isn't it, these are mostly young people. Try this link and see if there aren't other possibilities?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glr_geZS0zo
