  3. Beginning Taoist Practices

    Have to admit I stole the mandala off a Zeppelin post at Dimeadozen.org ( hey that's what all good musicians do right?). The bizarre thing about this post here is after I did a search for an image of a brain transversal MRI, my stepson Brett the very next day did a search of a deviated septum after seeing it on a favorite drama of his and immediately found almost the same image. and so it goes... John Bonham sends me to the woodshed Master Eric sends me to the Vision Fest (no pun intended) http://www.visionfestival.org/ stay tuned (pun intended) and endless Thank You's (Page pun intended)

  6. Taoism and Heavy Metal Music

    This should activate everyone's erector pili ! "This is a cover of the song by Black Sabbath, but the original lyrics are replaced by words of protest by Chief Seattle, also known as Sealth, Seathle, Seathl, or See-ahth. He was a leader of the Suquamish and Duwamish Native American tribes in what is now the U.S. state of Washington." How can you buy or sell the sky Or the warmth of the land it's strange to us We don't own the freshness of the air Or the sparkle of the water How can you buy them from us The white man doesn't understand our ways For he's a stranger who comes in the night And takes from the land just what he needs Oh yeah He treats his brothers like his enemies When it's completed he moves on He leaves his father's grave and his birthright His birthright is forgotten The air is precious to the red man For all things share the same breath The white man won't notice the air he breathes Like a man dying for many days All right now The whites must treat the beasts of his land As his brothers not his enemies Tell me what is man without the beasts I'll bet he will die of loneliness One thing we know that the white man will We know our god is the same god You may think you wish to own him Own him as you wish to own our land But he is the body of man And the earth is precious to him Continue to contaminate your bed And you will suffocate in your waste
  7. Career choice...

    A side effect of this career path has been interstate travel and employment, cool seminars, picking up Tagalog: Kali Arabic: dumbek and dancing Hindi: yoga and tabla; Spanish: conga, rumba; Portuguese: samba, capoeira And if you ever visit ( or happen to work on) the 11th floor at Beth Israel in N.Y.C. where Mandarin is the primary language (patient) a little knowledge of the Jamaican culture (employee) might rub off as well.

I would like to ask him how he feels about oil slicks, floods, tornadoes, homeland security, street gangs , Illinois politics, jim baker, jimmy swaggart, kenneth copeland and appiling the tao to the everyday lives of the taxpaying common folk in the good ol' U.S. of A hum... What would Frank do? http://www.youtube.c...h?v=MUAOGt7FmM0 Whoever we are Wherever we're from We shoulda noticed by now Our behavior is dumb And if our chances Expect to improve It's gonna take a lot more Than tryin' to remove The other race Or the other whatever From the face Of the planet altogether They call it THE EARTH Which is a dumb kinda name But they named it right 'Cause we behave the same... We are dumb all over Dumb all over, Yes we are Dumb all over, Near 'n far Dumb all over, Black 'n white People, we is not wrapped tight Nurds on the left Nurds on the right Religous fanatics On the air every night Sayin' the Bible Tells the story Makes the details Sound real gory 'Bout what to do If the geeks over there Don't believe in the book We got over here You can't run a race Without no feet 'N pretty soon There won't be no street For dummies to jog on Or doggies to dog on Religous fanatics Can make it be all gone (I mean it won't blow up 'N disappear It'll just look ugly For a thousand years...) You can't run a country By a book of religion Not by a heap Or a lump or a smidgeon Of foolish rules Of ancient date Designed to make You all feel great While you fold, spindle And mutilate Those unbelievers From a neighboring state TO ARMS! TO ARMS! Hooray! That's great Two legs ain't bad Unless there's a crate They ship the parts To mama in For souvenirs: two ears (Get Down!) Not his, not hers, (but what the hey?) The Good Book says: ("It gotta be that way!") But their book says: "REVENGE THE CRUSADES... With whips 'n chains 'N hand grenades..." TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS? Have another and another Our God says: "There ain't no other!" Our God says "It's all okay!" Our God says "This is the way!" It says in the book: "Burn 'n destroy... 'N repent, 'n redeem 'N revenge, 'n deploy 'N rumble thee forth To the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side 'Cause they don't go for what's in the book 'N that makes 'em BAD So verily we must choppeth them up And stompeth them down Or rent a nice French bomb To poof them out of existance While leaving their real estate just where we need it To use again For temples in which to praise OUR GOD ("Cause he can really take care of business!") And when his humble TV servant With humble white hair And humble glasses And a nice brown suit And maybe a blond wife who takes phone calls Tells us our God says It's okay to do this stuff Then we gotta do it, 'Cause if we don't do it, We ain't gwine up to hebbin! (Depending on which book you're using at the time...Can't use theirs... it don't work ...it's all lies...Gotta use mine...) Ain't that right? That's what they say Every night... Every day... Hey, we can't really be dumb If we're just following God's Orders Hey, let's get serious... God knows what he's doin' He wrote this book here An' the book says: He made us all to be just like Him," so... If we're dumb... Then God is dumb... (An' maybe even a little ugly on the side) And if these words you do not heed Your pocketbook just kinda might recede When some man comes along and claims godly need He will clean you out right through your tweed That's right, remember there is a big difference between kneeling down and bending over... He's got twenty million dollars In his Heavenly Bank Account... All from those chumps who was Born again Oh yeah, oh yeah He's got seven limousines And a private plane... All for the use of his Special Friends Oh yeah, oh yeah He's got thousand-dollar suits And a Wembley Tie... Girls love to stroke it While he's on the phone Oh yeah, oh yeah At the House of Representatives He's a groovy guy... When he Gives Thanks He is not alone...

    Our own Vajrasattva, Santiago, is the lead guitarist for a metal band, Aghora. They are getting ready to release their third CD. He sent me a couple of the new tracks to review. They are awesome. Santi is a tantric yogi and he does place empowerments and transmissions in the music. Santi Rocks!

    More Maiden listen! Pay attention! Believe in me - send no money Died on the cross, that ain't funny But my so called friends they're making me a joke They missed out what I said like I never spoke They choose what they wanna hear - don't tell a lie They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die Saving your soul by taking your money Flies around shit, bees around honey Chorus Holy Smoke Holy Smoke, plenty bad preachers for The Devil to stoke Feed'em in feet first this is no joke This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke Making Holy Smoke Jimmy Reptile and all his friends Say their gonna be with you at the end Burning records burning books Holy soldiers, Nazi looks Crocodile smiles, just wait a while Till the TV queen gets her make-up clean I've lived in filth, I've lived in sin And I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in Repeat chorus Holy Smoke - smells good They ain't religious but they ain't no fools When Noah built his Cadillac it was cool Two by two they're still going down And the satellite circus just left town I think they're strange and when they're dead They can have a Lincoln for their bed Friend of the president trick of the tail Now they ain't got a prayer 100 years in jail Repeat chorus Holy Smoke - hah
