KBOO, If you don't listen, you should.





It's a great source of local and international news. They recently were the only news coverage at a huge convention in Washington D.C. consisting of veterans talking about war crimes they have witnessed first hand... You didn't hear about that? The corporate media will not tell you about it.





Go to this website to listen to amazing war stories told by the soldiers.



They tell you exactly what life is like in Iraq right now!

I think everyone in America should be forced to listen to this stuff and come to terms with reality. This is the world you live in.

Every day is like waking up to a dream
When I go to sleep I find myself in another life
complete with past and goals for the future
only every time I am a different person
waking life has distinguished itself
by persistantly being a person with the same past
only changing future goals a bit as time passes
as I lie in my bed I am completing a great work
I often wake up to a feeling of accomplishment
as if I had done something last night
my past comes to me as it does in my dreams
that way I know what I need to do today
sometimes my objectives are more clear when I am dreaming
I am never bored and never lonely
for that time I am free of the Samsara of daily life
I often dread the weight of my physical state as my awareness of it fades in
waking life seems so heavy compared to my ultra-dimentional existance
I press on, ignorant of why, knowing there is a reason
Now and then, I stop to ask:
"Where are you?"

Back to the blogosphere

It has been a while since I last posted a blog. I found some really old writings I had done back some day off a bender I am sure. I should warn you that they may not make sense... to you. I thought that some of them were worthy of sharing. I am going to release them one by one as a series. With out further ado, part one:

This one is called "Beauty"

You,
Would be so proud of me today. I did what I really love to do. I got in touch with my roots, and became the healer again. I can with only truth be proud for there is no other purpose. Think now of a porpoise. Dolphin night jump into the wilderness. I am an animated fact of an animal mating faction. This is not a whale of a tail for I seem to have lost mine. Check by the coal mine. Shall I panta-mime? Nine lives can't explain why. Wednesdays 7 to 10pm

I feel like I am really on to something. It started with syncronicity but I've been feeling more and more like I'm not predicting these things, I'm materializing them. It would be nice if things always worked like that. I think that the actuator of this reaction is truly being happy but not just happy, it's love. When I say love I don't mean sex or even an attachment to another human being (Although both of those certainly help). It comes from within so you could say that you must love yourself but that would not be entirely accurate. That would be selfish. Love is best when externalized. I used to wake up each day with a heavy feeling of dread upon my brow. I made a conscious decision to welcome the day with love for the goddess and our mother the earth. I am delighted by every plant I pass on the way to work. I feel they love me too. Colors seem brighter to me now. Maybe eating healthy has something to do with that too. Don't just stop to smell the flowers, truly appreciate them for the work of living art that they are. My views of many things are changing. Art is everywhere and more beautiful than any dead representation that the great artists ever made. For once in my life I feel like I really know what I want and I'll figure out how to get it. I have come so far from the chaotic world of hate and discontent I thrust myself in to at the tender age of 15. For anyone who knows what I am talking about know that I love you too for going through that with me and being here to read this simple blog. I couldn't have done it without you. You too will find happiness. It's in the sunlight, go and bask. It's in your next meal, savor every bite. Listen, can you hear that? it's playing just for you. It's in your eyes and it's right here in my arms. It's in your dreams, I hope your bed is comfortable. Good night.

Tonight I climbed a tree for the first time in years, it was a spiritual experience. I made attonement with ancient spirits tonight. Aforethought: a few days prior I noticed that a bulb of garlic that I set out had sprouted green tips, every time this occurs I am compelled to plant it. I normally just stick it in the ground wherever seems fitting. On this occasion I decided to make an experiment of it. I forcefully removed one clove and stuck it in my mouth. Whilst salivating on one clove I planted the rest of the bulb (Aprox. four other cloves) and then I planted the solitary clove that I had placed in my mouth separate from the rest, yet in the same potter, near the edge of the container so that it would be obviously farther away from the cluster. This evening when I arrived home I thought to water my garlic with bloody hand washings from the evening climb of the tree and BEHOLD; the one clove off to the side of the cluster was significantly taller than the rest of the bulb which I had planted in the same pot. Seemingly unaffected by the lack of soil it flourishes with my blessing against odds of being outnumbered by the bulb in the center of the pot. I will attempt to include an image of the extra-ordinary garlic growth.

Vladmir found Anastasia living in the forest of the Siberian Taiga in 1995. She and her family have lived in the forest naturally the way people used to live for generations. She asked Vladmir to write these books in hopes that they would have a positive impact on the human race. I think she is decendant from druids because she and her family worship the Cedar tree. There are eight books in the series. Five of them have been translated from Russian. I have almost finished the first one and I have already ordered 2-5. I heard that book 6 is being released in february. You cannot buy them from book stores yet. You can order the first one and learn much more about them here:

It is similar to Tai Chi except it resembles a religion and so has been a cause of opression in China this last year (2006) Essentially it is a set of movements that have healing effects on the body like a sacred healing spell.
