70s invasion ; GUYS and DOLLS *

once upon a time there was a pop band in england that began around '74 or so called GUYS and DOLLS, they made innocent sounding pop similiar to the CARPENTERS and other pop bands of the day

they had a few singles, and an lp in '75, but broke up when glam, and glam pop began to fade and new wave came in , 2 members went off to form a band called DOLLAR, here we feature 2 rare pictures, our other great picture of them from the MAGNETIC comp was lost when angelfire decided to zap our index with that and 50 other pictures.......these gals in this band sure look nice *

GUYS and DOLLS

here is a track listing of their cd out now

"Due to their tendency towards ignorance since immeasurable time, the living beings act, considering themselves the doers or inaugurators of action. The Supreme Lord does not generate their misconceptions of considering themselves doers, nor does He generate their actions or their attachments to the fruits of those actions. "The fully self-satisfied Supreme Lord accepts neither the sin nor the piety of anyone. Cognizance is the intrinsic nature of the living beings, but the living beings are infatuated by the material body, thinking it to be themselves, on account of their original spiritual nature being enveloped by the deluding potency (Maya) of the Lord."

- Bhagavad gita 5:14-15

Krishna says that the soul's innate free will is responsible for its entanglement in the material world. The responsibility is with the individual soul, otherwise the Lord would be responsible for the soul's distressed condition. The soul has come to live in this world in a mortal body, in a place where there is suffering, disease and death. The soul is a particle of consciousness and since it is consciousness it is endowed with freedom.

"Consciousness" means endowed with free will, for without free will no consciousness can be conceived of. The soul has freedom of thought and the capacity to act upon those thoughts and ideas. But the freedom the conscious soul possesses does not guarantee the soul will always act in the right way. Freedom has its value independent of "right" and "wrong". Because the soul is atomic in size its free will is imperfect and vulnerable. The possibility of committing a mistake is there. An atomic pinpoint of consciousness has very meager free will, and by misuse of their free will some souls have taken their chance in the material world. They refused to submit to the supreme authority. They wanted to dominate. So, with this germinal idea of domination, the soul enters into this world of exploitation.

The first position of a soul in the material world will be like that of Brahma, the creator. Then his karma may take him to the body of a beast like a tiger where he is surrounded by a tigerish mentality, or to the body of a tree or creeper, where different impressions may surround him.

It is the soul who gives light to the world, who creates an understanding of the environment, the world of perception. Here "soul" means individual soul. The individual soul is the cause of his own world. The philosopher Berkeley said similarly, that the world is in the mind. It is not that the mind is in the world but that the world is in the mind.

Thought is coming from the thinker, and if there is "thought" then there must be space and there must be time. Time and space are factors of thought. The whole world has sprung up from ether, from space; and the ether, that substance itself is coming from mind. In the Bhagavad gita, 15th chapter, it is mentioned that just as a tree's branches spring up, sprout up from a seed, the objects of our sense experience are coming from within to out. All our sense experience, of that which we take to be external, has evolved from within ourselves.

I am a particle of consciousness and consciousness is the original substance. Deviation from that sort of spiritual consciousness to some other consciousness must be considered delirium. We have deviated so far, thinking this flesh is our self. My home is in the conscious world where there is proper existence (Sat), pure consciousness (Chit) and ecstasy and fulfillment (Ananda).
