Nice. Had my opinions 'bout the Doobies. All Michael McDonald weren't they?

The working man. I never saw Rush in person, nor have I even seen videos of their live performances. I love the idea that these long haired hippies were working men. Knock down those stereotypes.

What is the difference between namaste and om namah shivaya. Om Namah Shivaya means I bow to the Self within. Namaste means pretty much the same thing.

Nothing I could do but I understand needy times.

Tulsi. He was a poet who expounded on the Ramayana. I have a concise Ramayana by Valmiki but is there another by Tulsi? Somehow today I woke up with Nina Rao on my YT teaching about the Hanuman Chalisa. I recalled a recitation of it at the Siddha website. I would like to share it here at BlueSky.

I suppose we will have to accept this as the facts. Wikipedia can often miss the mark by a mile. www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/...

I heard some fact about Bobby Richardson, the NY Yankee 2nd baseman. Something about 1960. I'm skeptical. He is called the MVP of the 1960 WS. Must be sarcastic as his inability to catch a line drive over his head made him the goat. It is denied that he was the AL MVP in 1962. 209 hits that year.

ONE While the rest of us are busting our asses to afford rent and maybe a bag of off-brand cereal, Elon "I-Pissed-My-Pants-for-Patriotism" Musk was out here tripping balls on ketamine, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms like a frat bro who inherited a rocket company.

I used to often read of the Guru being omniscient. I read many things regarding Gurus. Gurumayi Chidvilasananda said it is not so much that the Guru is omniscient as one lives in this moment. The self-realized live in the Now as Eckhart speaks of it. Now I am lost as to the Guru's power and grace.

Found something good, but is he a feed?

Jon Stewart answered the question which he asked a guest of his during Katrina, what is consciousness? But he did not come to what is pure consciousness. His guest was under the prowess to answer him effectively. The idea was that an understanding of consciousness would help the disaster of Katrina.

Interesting discussion between two spiritual leaders.

Here is that doc. John Kennedy's assassination certainly did change us and the Beatles were a sensation but there was Frank Sinatra and Elvis before them that created similarly joy and in 1948 I recently read there was a movement to draft Eisenhower, over Harry Truman that is interesting, too.

Watched this doc on 1964 and I enjoyed a lot of it. Lots of fine information but a suspicious flattery of our era. I know you've heard the joke, flattery will get you everywhere. It's a turn on the real advice, often from women, that flattery will get you nowhere.

Suppose anyone, oh my, won't it be Trump, will reference Ram Dass over Harvard's antisemitism? I had some meditation tapes of another Jewish come yogi, his name Kriyananda and from Chicago, lost somewhere in the past. Did he try to enter Harvard but was rejected? He may be dead by now. 80's yogi.

Born in 1960.

Almost Ali like creativity. Must take a lot of thinking.

Narayani is Lakshmi.

A doc on white farmers being killed in South Africa. Now I must ask was it FOX? I have my bias. Nonetheless, I look back and see it was produced in 2018, a long time ago if you ask me. British sound, but what difference could that make? I first thought of that movie about Cambodia.

Your individuality is a contraction of the great Shakti. All appears to be multiplicity and duality due to this contraction.

Instead of changing the schools, the republicans would change the student body, encourage dropping out.

I've heard the Sufi, Rumi, said God is not in a book. Might have been his inspiration Shams of Tabriz. Don't take that to mean the Bible, it was critical to read the Koran for Muslims.

George Floyd was murdered 5 years ago today. His death sparked a movement. 5 years later, we still have a lot of work to do to build a world where Black people are freed from state violence.

A previous republican candidate for president. I feared him. He wasn't half bad. 1996. Look at his war record. I find that interesting on this Memorial Day weekend.

at the meditation center I attended regularly a former teacher at the college I graduated from used to call me Fast Eddie. At one time I left the center not knowing I had to pay for a meal I had consumed. In the 80's I think. This teacher pursued me to my car to collect payment. I was the hustler.

a prolific writer and please don't corrupt that to pro-life as in anti-abortion.

Another tube on post apartheid South Africa and the whites efforts to separate themselves as well as the government's responsibility toward all poor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY6Q...

A book I highly recommend. A concept you need to know to study American history. How apartheid like it was. Sorry to link the Amazon, but I never much buy books anymore. I get them at the library. I have it order them. Done that since school ended. No more financial aid, you know.

Actually write, with your hand and a pen? OMG. I can hardly do that anymore. It hasn't been encouraged for decades. I can keyboard 31 wpm. Computer words, well, I don't know. I was a writer who hunted and pecked but then encouraged to IT I learned.

I think of gerrymandering. They want to get around majority rule, which where they live, means black rule. Similar here, isn't it? I used to have a black democratic congresswoman but now I have a white republican congresswoman. What happened?

Trump the big rocker that many rockers don't want to be used by. Notice there was no Jimi Hendrix in his play list?

I don't drink. No booze at all for me. No beers or glasses of wine either. My vegetarianism is frustrated. Oh, I'm 72, too. Carless, btw. Osteoarthritis recently diagnosed. Not too sexually experienced.😬
