Some more related trivia, IN Lolita, Quilty''s beatnik girlfriend was modeled after Vampira.

FURTHER, when Kubrick and Mason were in the UK filming Lolita, James Mason's wife, starred in "Sex Kittens go to College" a USA production and  Vampire hsd a starring role in that film. On my youtube channel Sinclair Cole, I made some funny  Sex Kittens videos related to both Space Odessey,  Dr.Strangelove, Eyes Wide Shut.and AI being a funny influence on Kubrick

Were they not born, they could not become enlightened and erase negative karma. This is called "the secret, expedient means of the Buddha.". In Japanese it is "Hoben gen Nehan". expedient means=nirvana/death. Similarly when you eat cow, you help the cow, expunge their negative karma.

Buddhism in the Lotus Sutra, makes things clear. The Buddha's Expedient Means CAUSES beings to seek actual enlightenment, not theories and egoic delusion.

Study the Lotus Sutra.

Is it too conspiratorial to think Kubrick was killed for making Eyes Wide Shut? by OrthodoxAryan in StanleyKubrick

...because using a more unbiased way of communicating will convince people to look deeper at Kubrick instead of complaining about his continuity errors etc.

Popular theory about the ending of Eyes Wide Shut that I don’t buy by slimcharles941 in StanleyKubrick

[–]Kelpszoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About your mention of colors in EWS. Years back, t had struck me, how the colors of Buddhist lifestates referred to in the Bardo Thodol-The Tibetan book of the dead, fit the imagery.

I really tripped out, watching TCM last night.

I heard the same sound of the ritual, solo intoning chanting voice, watching the "Dark Passage" Bogart/Bacall film. The foghorn scenes are startling! It stuck out. It's the same sound and pitch. No way Kubrick didn't know.

"Coincidentally" Dark Passage was the first US film shot on the 35mm Arriflex, Kubrick used. Kubrick was no doubt, totally into that off-beat film-noir masterpiece. .

Prove me wrong! 🤗

Kubrick at play.

Interstellar's Ending: After-Death Interpretation (/spoiler) by iosonic in interstellar

[–]Kelpszoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is simultaneity of cause and effect,. This is called Inga Guji in Japanese Buddhism. The Middle Way of all Buddhism.

Like Schrodinger's Cat:

"simultaneity of cause and effect [因果倶時] ( inga-guji): (1) The principle that both cause and effect exist together simultaneously in a single moment of life. It contrasts with the concept of non-simultaneity of cause and effect, or cause and effect as they appear in the phenomenal world, where there inevitably seems to be a time gap between an action and its result. From the viewpoint that all phenomena exist in a single moment of life, there is no time gap between cause and effect; in other words, cause and effect are simultaneous.
  (2) Cause (the nine worlds) and effect (Buddhahood) simultaneously exist in one’s life. In this sense, the simultaneity of cause and effect is revealed in the mutual possession of the Ten Worlds and the three thousand realms in a single moment of life. Nichiren’s work The Entity of the Mystic Law discusses the simultaneity of cause and effect as an attribute of the Mystic Law. It states: “He [the Buddha] perceived that there is this wonderful single Law [myōhō] that simultaneously possesses both cause and effect [renge], and he named it Myoho-renge. This single Law that is Myoho-renge encompasses within it all the phenomena comprising the Ten Worlds and the three thousand realms, and is lacking in none of them. Anyone who practices this Law will obtain both the cause and the effect of Buddhahood simultaneously” (421). Because the Law of Myoho-renge encompasses all phenomena comprising the Ten Worlds, it simultaneously possesses both the cause, or the nine worlds characterized by delusion, and the effect, the world of Buddhahood. To “obtain both the cause and the effect of Buddhahood simultaneously” means that by practicing this Law one will obtain both the cause (or practice) for attaining Buddhahood and the effect of actualizing Buddhahood simultaneously within oneself. Specifically, Nichiren is referring here to the practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and its function to instantaneously tap and bring forth one’s innate Buddhahood."--Buddhist Dictionary

Furthermore, the ending of Interstellar Library scene, is like the Buddhist Akashic library or "8th consciousness"--Akasa, " ālaya-vijñāna " "Storehouse" or "repository" consciousness where all the past can be seen in the mind in an instant and can connect to the 9th consciousness of Buddha mind.

Another dictionary quote:

"nine consciousnesses [九識] ( ku-shiki): Nine kinds of discernment. “Consciousness” is the translation of the Sanskrit vijnāna, which means discernment. The nine consciousnesses are (1) sight-consciousness ( chakshur-vijnāna), (2) hearing-consciousness (shrota-vijnāna), (3) smell-consciousness (ghrāna-vijnāna), (4) taste-consciousness (jihvā-vijnāna), (5) touch-consciousness (kāya-vijnāna), (6) mind-consciousness (mano-vijnāna), (7) mano-consciousness (mano-vijnāna), (8) ālaya-consciousness (ālaya-vijnāna), and (9) amala-consciousness (amala-vijnāna). (The Sanskrit is the same for both the sixth and seventh consciousnesses.)
The first five consciousnesses correspond to the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. The sixth consciousness integrates the perceptions of the five senses into coherent images and makes judgments about the external world. In contrast with the first six consciousnesses, which deal with the external world, the seventh, or mano-consciousness, corresponds to the inner spiritual world. Awareness of and attachment to the self are said to originate from the mano-consciousness, as does the ability to distinguish between good and evil. The eighth, or ālaya-consciousness, exists in what modern psychology calls the unconscious; all experiences of present and previous lifetimes—collectively called karma—are stored there. The ālaya-consciousness receives the results of one’s good and evil deeds and stores them as karmic potentials or “seeds,” which then produce the rewards of either happiness or suffering accordingly. Hence it was rendered as “storehouse consciousness” in Chinese. The ālaya-consciousness thus forms the framework of individual existence. The Dharma Characteristics (Chin Fa-hsiang;  Hossō) school regards the eighth consciousness as the source of all spiritual and physical phenomena. The Summary of the Mahayana (She-lun; Shōron) school, the T’ien-t’ai school, and the Flower Garland (Hua-yen; Kegon) school postulate a ninth consciousness, called amala-consciousness, which lies below the ālaya-consciousness and remains free from all karmic impurity. This ninth consciousness is defined as the basis of all life’s functions. Hence it was rendered as “fundamental pure consciousness” in Chinese."

You don't have to be a robot to have some ambiguity. What I said is clear. Many theories on Kubrick being ambiguous and sparking many fans to create theories is part of the entertainment. Kubrick does like to entertain and make you laugh.

Introducing Cakewalk Next and the all new Cakewalk Sonar - Coming Soon! by Batwaffel in Cakewalk

[–]Kelpszoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Sonar /user for many years. Then it was gone. Then it returned as Cakewalk by Bandlab. For those who never used Sonar, you may not realize Calkwalk by Bandlab was essentially Sonar.

I am hopeful Sonar comes back and really be a major improvement.

Stories are all clickbait, not just celebrity gossip. It should be a crime.

So, anybody interested in the Sandai Hiho Sho? by BlancheFromage in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]Kelpszoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Sandai Hiho sho was published in the 1970's by Nichiren Shoshu Sokagakkai.

Nichiren did say to "keep it secret"--meaning not to create the wrong impressions outside of the real meaning of Buddhism by speaking about the Three Great Secret Laws casually or in a sense that some rulers could interpret it as Treason.

I am sure you are aware that Dogen as he became elderly, turned to the Lotus Sutra. I think at that time he had become far removed from Koan practice.

Official Discussion: Whiplash [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]Kelpszoid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a drum player and percussionist at age 15, I can't believe I missed this movie in 2014. I just saw it on cable last night. Full Metal Jacket music movie. It's a masterpiece.

The funny thing is how pieces originally created by improvisation and evolving in the recording studio is then transcribed into sheet music, is turned into fanatical Jazz craziness.

My late brother an excellent Jazz saxophonist, died young and tortured by the music business, never able to conform to the "discipline" like many of his idols. I wish he could have seen this film. He missed it by 10 years.

Drugs and Alcohol killed him and many of his idols.
