Great post Wild Erik.

Lent is cool.

Lentil soup is yummy.

Whoa baby, I'm in need of a new toothbrush.

Shalom.

Chemical Erik February 6th, 2008

"But, if we resist the temptation of the evil one and embrace the word of our Father that proclaims that we are beloved children in whom he is well pleased, we will abide in Jesus and bear good fruit."
I think we all produce both good and bad fruit. I've noticed the amount of good fruit dropping recently in my life as I've gone through some big changes (new job, moving, buying a house, etc.). All these things are necessary for other long term good, but it's had some real downside in the short term. I think GOD is trying to teach me to rely FULLY on him. I listened to GOD about what needed to be done, then thought: OK, I (that's a big, bold, underlined and itallic I) will do that. I've tried to do all the details instead of going to GOD to work the details through me. Just a warning, I don't recommend this as it is exhausting. GOD even allowed me to get walking pneumonia, which I'm just now getting over. Why do I continue to try to do everthing myself?

In my rush, I haven't thought at all about what I will sacrifice during Lent. After this post and the Mark Driscoll sermon I listen to on the train this morning, I think it needs to be personally oriented entertainment. By this I mean anything I do to entertain myself that is not done with others or as a means of connecting with others or GOD. This will mean my MP3 player only will be used for listening to bible teaching and PING. It means I will not play any video games on my own (though I may with my wife or daughter). It means I'm going to selve the sudoku books. It means I will not watch anything except news and weather on the TV when by myself. The church I attend follows an calander that does not observe Sundays as part of Lent, so I will allow myself

I've really taken to distracting myself from self reflection instead of asking GOD to show me who I am. This is going to be more difficult for me right now than it would have been before recent major life events; therefore, I'll give an update on the PING blog at least once a week on how I'm doing.

For the non-Eriks observing Lent, I'd like to here what you're doing. This is a great group of people from which I'd like to develop more and closer friendships. All who post here or call the show, feel free to email me though my blog and I'll share even more details.

Erik - thanks for this post, I really needed it right now.

Erik February 6th, 2008

NP Chemical.

"This will mean my MP3 player only will be used for listening to bible teaching and PING."

Either we've been paid a compliment, or the Bible teachers you listen to are total knobs. ; )

Chemical Erik February 6th, 2008

One of the teachers I listen to is Steve Brown!

Erik February 6th, 2008

Then it was a compliment. Thanks!

Obed February 6th, 2008

This will be my first observance of Lent in years. I've really been looking forward to it.

In answer of Chemical Erick's question, I'm not giving anything up, per se (except maybe some time). Instead, I've taken a little bit from the Internet Monk, and am going to follow his suggested Lenten readings from the Church Fathers. I've wanted to get some Church Fathers study under my belt, and this is the opportunity. In fact, today I downloaded the readings from the first 11 days to the PDA software I've got on my Nintendo DS so that I can have 'em even on the road. Ain't technology grand?

Today's reading was The Didache. It's early 2nd Century and is some really neat stuff. Tomorrow is the first half of St. Polycarp's letter to the Phillipians.

Chemical Erik February 6th, 2008

Sounds edifying. Did you get the readings or a link from the Internet Monk's website?

Jordo February 6th, 2008

I wonder if it is possible to give up something as abstract as coolness. It sounds like I'm joking or bragging, but I'm not. I believe that I've realized something about myself that is disturbing if it is true. I try so hard to be cool. The state goes by many names but for this post it will go by the name of "cool". I realize that I do this for two reasons. First, I do it so that people will like me–no, love me. I am next to Niagra Falls dying of thirst and I'm sucking air out of an emtpty juice box. Maybe if I'm clever enough or funny enough people will respond and validate me as a cool person–as someone worth loving. Second, I do it to obtain praise and glory. I've realized in my contemplation that when I am "being cool" I am trying to be God. I even find myself trying to be the God of other people. If this is true, then I am sick. If this is true, it is not "coolness" i am feeling is pride, selfish pride. Let me be clear about something, I never try to be "cool" at someone else's expense or gloat overtly about my "coolness" overtly. I'm still sick because every thing that I do and every emotion that I feel is funnelled into my sense of being cool. I'm not even actually saying that I am cool. Perhaps I am not, which is just sad.

Obed February 6th, 2008

Chemical Erik,

Here's the linky from imonk:

http://www.churchyear.net/lentfathers.html

They've got it in one big .pdf and then as html for the individual books.

Chemical Erik February 6th, 2008

Jordo - If you're anything like me, the times you actually are cool is when your not trying to be. I'm sorry if I hit a nerve on my previous post joking about everyone worshipping you. Didn't realise I was hitting so close to home.

Obed - Thanks!

Christov February 6th, 2008

Jordo said: Maybe if I'm clever enough or funny enough people will respond and validate me as a cool person–as someone worth loving.

Man, I'd settle for just being liked, most days. Jordo, you're one deep guy. I'm glad you posted that.

Elizabeth K February 7th, 2008

Hi everyone,
Never done this before, but I love reading and hearing Steve. I like the comments about Lent - you'll love this - I'm Lutheran reading a Presbyterian site. I was not raised Lutheran however - more non-denom/Bible church style. Anyway, my husband and I joined our Lutheran church 7 years ago (he was raised Lutheran) and I have grown to love the liturgy, church year, etc. We don't make it a point to "give up" something for Lent, but it is a very eye opening experience. I gave up coffee a few years back - not really thinking of it being a "spiritual" exercise. It wasn't as hard as I thought, but it WAS very spiritual. It was interesting to contemplate our sinfulness and how very needy we are. Something so simple can help us identify how deeply we are depraved. Anyway, it's hard to explain - just thought I'd chime in on this. It's a great topic!

Chemical Erik February 7th, 2008

I'm also Luthern (LCMS). In term of how I was raised: As a kid, when I asked my mom what religion we were she said "heathen". From my perspective, the Lent practice of giving something up is about not letting the good gifts of GOD become our god. From what I stated above, you can see I've been going to mind numbing escape far too frequently. GOD obviously want me more focused on him and those he's placed before me to love. When not spending time with people, I need to be seeking GOD or people. I need to stop sitting by myself watching Ninja Warrior or playing Desktop Tower Defense (at least long enough to remind myself these distractions are not my god).

Honestly, I'm not sacrificing nearly as much as Erik G. I don't know if that means I don't need as strong of a reminder of who GOD is, or if it means I'm weaker than Erik. It may not even mean anything. Regardless, it doesn't matter.

Erik February 7th, 2008

Jordo,

I can relate to…

"Maybe if I'm clever enough or funny enough people will respond and validate me as a cool person–as someone worth loving."

I mean, shite, I called my blog "[ping] validation sonar" in honor of my maddening quest to be affirmed as valuable.

I don't know if this was clear in the blog post, but I've found that if I try to quit doing that behavior, it's equally maddening. That's what I mean by, "If we focus on sin and the weakness of our flesh, thereby abiding in our fallen nature, we will bear rotten fruit."

Using the fallen will of our flesh to combat the fallen will of our flesh will make one thing sure…either our flesh will win or our flesh will win. Know what I mean?

I think it's the same thing with mind numbing escape Chemical E. You may in fact succeed in curbing your behavior, but it's like that Whack-a-Mole game at Chuck E. Cheese, something else related to your effort to "be good" pops up. It may be anger or frustration with your family because you're not being satisfied by the entertainment you gave up, or something else you end up using to medicate to fill the void.

I think that the cure is what I'm suggesting (I'm not sure, I'm still experimenting).

Use your will and discipline, but use it in a way that's ultimately effective. Use it to abide in God. Do those things that remind you of how pleased he is with you because of his son…whatever those things may be…liturgy, lent, or something else.

The point is, dwell in his love and forget about the behavior you want to change. You'll never leave the presence of God the same as when you got there. So focus on the presence and trust him to change you in the ways he wants (and ultimately it's his opinion that matters).

Man…this can get confusing. The distinction between the motivations for behavior modification can get blurry. Anyway, what the hell, God's God. I'm his beloved son, and Dad's gonna make everything alright. I'm gonna go abide.

Sorry for going on…I'm preaching to myself…I need to hear this stuff.

Obed February 7th, 2008

Good stuff on the flesh vs flesh and whack-a-mole analogy, Erik. I went to an Episcopalian Ash Wednesday service last night. I think the vicar is a biker complete with pony tail and boots. He talked about how our Lenten efforts would cause eternal ripples both for ourselves as individuals and for the Body of Christ as a whole. He likes to remind us that we're Christ's Body. It was good stuff.

BUT…. seemed a bit on the navel-gazey side, if you know what I mean. Sure, our efforts can have ripples. But without Him being whom and where we're looking at, it's probably just a new mole that needs whacking.

Heh… that's one of the reason I'm doing the patristic reading bit… I *want* to read that stuff. Lent is just the excuse.

Chemical Erik February 7th, 2008

"I'm not sure, I'm still experimenting"
Profound and funny when taken out of context.
Seriously, I think my mind numbing escape is more of an excuse to avoid making connections with GOD and his people than a problem by itself. I think it comes from the huge changes I've been through as I've grown closer to GOD, and fear of just how far GOD will take those changes.

Even after two days of focusing onedifying activity (reading, listening to bible teaching and reading, seeking out friends and family during downtime), I'm noticing a difference.

Erik February 7th, 2008

Good to hear, Chemical.

After two days of my Lenten fast, my bowels are making noises I haven't heard since last year.

Erik February 7th, 2008

Just read this from our (CEC) Archbishop re: Lent. Thought I'd share.

Jordo February 7th, 2008

"Didn't realise I was hitting so close to home."
Heh, no worries dude. This is intropsection fodder, not anything you said.

"I gave up coffee a few years back - not really thinking of it being a 'spiritual' exercise."
God help you woman are you insane! Coffee? I could never give that up. Eeek!

"I mean, shite, I called my blog '[ping] validation sonar' in honor of my maddening quest to be affirmed as valuable."
I just want to say, E, that you are valuable. You have the ability to make people feel like they are part of the [ping] not just callers in. I think your kids are going to grow up to be really strong self-assured people. You keep it real and you don't take yourself too seriously. I love ya man!

Have you honestly tried extraspection for a long period of time. Its difficult. Psychologically its impossible, because we view everything through the self. Our view of the universe is but a reflection off of the self. To stare outward is not to see the true universe, but to see nothing at all. To love another truely, you must know yourself. This is correlary to the golden rule itself. For how can you do unto others truely if you do not know what you would truely have them do unto you. To love another truely you must love yourself for it is commanded that you love others as you love yourself. Therefore, if you love not yourself, how can you love the other by this command?

Sorry guys. "The profit" part of me was dying to say that. *sigh* I gave him his 15 minutes.

Erik February 8th, 2008

"I just want to say, E, that you are valuable. You have the ability to make people feel like they are part of the [ping] not just callers in. I think your kids are going to grow up to be really strong self-assured people. You keep it real and you don't take yourself too seriously. I love ya man!"

[ping] [ping] [ping] [ping]

It's like a pinball machine over here. Thanks man. I would say all kinds of nice things about you too, but it would look like I was saying those things just because you said nice things. So, I'm gonna save my nice things for later so they are a surprise.

I will say this…good stuff from the prophet side brootha.

As an aside, I fell asleep before Lost last night. Can you believe that? I hope ABC still has them online.

Obed February 8th, 2008

"Sorry guys. 'The profit' part of me was dying to say that."

"I will say this… good stuff from the prophet side brootha."

That first Lent reading (The Didache) had some really funny things to say about Prophets for Profit! Huge contrast with the way some stuff goes today…

Jordo February 8th, 2008

Oh thanks Obed, I can't spell. *blushes*

The prophet, for those who haven't been initiated, is one of my four major internal voices or avatars as I call them. The other's are the poet, the dreamer, and the tech. I can control the flow and theme of my writing by determining which avatar has the most say. No worries. I'm not dissociative or anything; my ego brings them all together rather nicely under non-meditative conditions. There are usually two principle avatars involved in any controlled statement. In this case, I am using the vocal avatars tech and prophet. Tech is the dominant voice and prophet is the recessive. Because I'm a programmer, tech is dominant over prophet making him recessive.

When you realize that the self is divided you are truely able to express the self to the universe. Both self and universe are pluralities. (prophet/poet)

Dominant and recessive avatars can be flipped, but usually its like two conflicting tones vibrating the same air and the overall composition doesn't flow well. (tech/poet)

The central concept of man is to know himself and thus know the universe as an aspect of his own awareness. The self and the universe are intertwined into the being of awareness. Principally nothing. (prophet/tech) The whole construction of this paragraph is so harsh, and the idea's behind it are crap. (tech/prophet)

There is a symmetry here. The poet and the tech are polar, as are the dreamer and the prophet. Polar avatars can be combined, but rarely. (tech/prophet)

When I use tech/prophet I sound more like I'm giving a lecture. When I use poet/dreamer I sound more like I've been buying some of Chemical Erik's product. jk I sound almost delirious, flakey, hippie-like.

Poet and Tech look backward toward fact:

A writer is a painter of thought. (poet - short, sweet, artistic)
1 + 1 + 1 = 11, in binary. (tech - factual, to the point)

Prophet and Dreamer look forward toward possibility:

In order to be loved, you must love. (prophet - universal, deterministic)
I will marry the first woman I cannot live without. (dreamer - expressing desire, hopeful, optimistic)

Holy, crap that was exhausting. I need coffee.

Jordo February 8th, 2008

An interesting effect of mixing two polar avatars is that it is really hard to do, but it is some of my best work. Check out my deap cuts for some examples.

Man selfish pride and arrogance is so tiring. I need more coffee.

I walked through the valley
And saw a muffin
Just sitting there, waiting to be eaten
And a man named Solomon
Gave me a balloon

I thought it might be a joke

But it wasn't

It was an invitation to enlightenment
With a balloon, and a muffin

Don't tread on the grass of a man with no teeth

More wisdom = More knowledge = More delight

SPIRITUAL MAN has graced us with his presence

"When will this message board come with spell check included?"
I use google toolbar, it comes with a spell checker. It also has an autofill feature, for filling out forms and blog posts text boxes. This is really just me clicking the "AutoFill". Seriously!

Christov February 11th, 2008

Camino for Mac has spellcheck feature as does Firefox for Mac. On the other hand, "dose" is a real word that wouldn't've got caught. Isn't Google toolbar like the Mark of the Beast or something eschatological? I think Hal Lindsay has some pretty strong opinions on that. He also looks like J.Stalin.

What happened to Lent?? I get the humor . . . a little . . . but maybe some of you need to give up something for Lent. Maybe not so much time at the computer. I still like reading books. Anyone else?

Erik February 13th, 2008

Yo Christov,

I ended up all alone with nothing to say…again, so we didn't do a show, but I was sitting here in the studio. Dang, sorry I didn't see the phone ringing, we could have talked.

I talked to Jordo on the IM. That was cool. If I'd of known you both were gonna call in, I could have been persuaded to do a show. Let me know ahead of time bisques! ; )

Chemical Erik February 13th, 2008

"I still like reading books. Anyone else?"
Most of the people here are reading from the church fathers (linked somewhere above). I started that, but decided to pick up Pilgrams Progress instead.

You can see above what I'm giving up for Lent. I'm only on the comp. to do work and connnect with people (as I'm doing here). If that's not enough, look back into the Etcetera blog about what the other Erik gives up each year!

"I get the humor . . . a little "
None of us get it all, and I don't think McFly will(can) explain himself.

George McFly February 13th, 2008

If you will notice my post on Feb. 11, I said:

For without my mood I am nothing. I am dust and to dust I will—transcend. The universe is screaming my name. It is singing my song, but it doesn't know the words. It fills in the blanks with broken chords and dissident growls that echo off reflection nebulae and super massive black hole jets in the vacuumous abyss. Infinite night! So big! Photonic waveforms of a billion billion suns each melting into the chaos of another dreamless night. Mindless. Formless. Meaningless. A tantric nightmare of ambiguous colliding realities.

Heh, sorry. That was poetic free form Jordo. Peace in!

Here in California (us McFly's are legends in CA) we have many different religions. Us McFly's are not afraid to shop around in the realm of spirituality. Our first stop was at a well known preacher's church. The preacher was John MacArthur. I sat there with Lorraine and Marty (even Doc showed up) and heard this man speak. I didn't get a good vibe so I stood up and shook my fist in the air while shouting, "Hey preacher man! Don't give us none of this jive talk about your quasi-religious terms that have no meaning. The McFly's have spoken! We don't die, we multiply!"

Then I started shouting random quotes from the film "Lord Of The Flies" at the top of my lungs.

When we got home, Marty said Grace before a delicious Spam dinner that Lorraine prepared.

Chemical Erik February 15th, 2008
