    More Love?
    it might have been when she started calling me dude,
    that i knew things were going south.

    Calling someone dude? The ultimate defacing term of enderement?
    it takes away any semblance of character of who the person is,
    just a real lack of respect as a human being, sorta like taking away
    their dignity.
    But what do i know?...right now i'm a train wreck...
    ...feel like someone reached in and grabbed my heart and threw it into the meat grinder.

    Right...see you around sometime...

    Anyway, life goes on...
    If i have learned anything from this ,
    it would be that i discovered Love.
    Love so deep, i didn't know that it was possible.
    So overwhelming that i could feel such emotion
    such feelings that it made me feel completely at home,
    feelings of being complete...

    So, if this depth of love is possible with one person,
    why not experience this depth with everyone?

    i'll tell you why not, because it would be a bleepin emotional roller coaster ride
    that would = insanity, and a blown head gasket to boot...

    Love is...
    As i sit in front of the computer
    and look out into the garden, i can see the meditating buddha sitting amid new beautiful flowers (100?) wow and zow.
    From the bare essentials type garden to a flowering, georgeous environment.
    Many thanks to the new upstairs neighbors.
    She just got married and back from extensive honeymoon , you can tell...just look at the garden.

    Love is so much to deal with. You know what i mean?
    never thought that it would find me this lifetime since choosing a spiritual lifestyle.
    and all of a sudden i met tina
    and it was like literally i was swept off of my feet.
    Magic, like God had actually placed us together.
    Emotions?
    my God, feelings that i thought had long vanished from existence came to being...
    jeez,
    ever been in love?
    what a roller coaster of emotions.
    How do you deal with it?

    Whew.

    Never been in love before,
    it's totally frightening
    don't know why.
    totally turned on at the thought of her,
    go to bed thinking about her,
    and then... wake up thinking about her...

    this is insane,
    and i seem to be possessed with this insanity.

    and as i look back at the Buddha...
    He sits in meditation,
    beyond it all...

    Greed
    Heard the latest buzz?
    Haight Street has officially sold out.
    yeah, i know and remember when the Gap snuck in
    that it was going Union St.

    But have you heard about the little greedy landlords who are kicking out the small business in favor of the Big Bucks?
    It's out of control, that's what it is.
    Distractions...Been there 26 years? their lease just jumped from $ 2000+- to like$7000.
    rumor, yep They're moving.
    Newbee "Your Skirt" can't cut the humongous rent they have to pay...
    like it must be in the $8000 range...Sad
    All those new places opening up in Brannan's buildings ...Humongous rent like "Your Skirt"...sad
    The Surf Shop? Good luck with Union Street Costing Surboards to make the rent...
    been by there a few times...empty.

    Another big rumor:
    "So Good" the new jewelery store?
    in New York their store? sells something for $4.00 there,
    but here it's $14.00. Go Figure
    their rent?
    a whopping $12,500?
    this is on Haight Street!

    and you wondered what was happening to Haight Street
    and where the love went?
    Peace and Love

    London England
    Barbaric acts of ignorance and stupidity. Devoid of any spiritual content. Totally insane, inhumane actions.
    Now, can i tell you what i really think about this? all these words cannot put it into words....
    People that are lost within the mind, and it's craziness and who do such horrendous acts should be hung upside down by their big toes.
    Hung by a rope around each toe in the Radiation Waste storage facility covered in honey they would be.
    And then? The mutated radioactive ants the size of rats would carve a new understanding into such a person.
    And then the mutated radioactive rats the size of rabbits would eat the mutated radioactive ants for the new wave of blood.
    And then the mutated radioactive rats would escape through the inescapable doors and go after all of the terrorists. Probably.
    Meanwhile the radiation which is constantly dumped into the ocean, begins escaping from the leakproof inescapable mountain, and we all evolve
    into mutated radioactive humans , that go after all of the mutated radioactive rats,
    because that's all that's left.
    It's a good thing that i'm not working the gates of heaven.

    anyway, be it known to these people that they will not be seeing those Golden Gates.
    nay, what will welcome them will be the hell that you would not wish upon the devil...

    Jeez...What Journal?
    a wise person once said,
    that we are what we think...
    ...do you have rambling thoughts?

    New to the Haight are a real surf shop called Aqua, Your Skirt, Ideele,
    Yolo Designs, and a few more places that i can't remember at this particular moment...
    ...lost in the moment,
    Speaking of jewelery,
    Have you seen the new jewelery store at the corner of Haight and Belvedere?
    jeez, talk about being together with their stock...
    millions, at least millions, of pieces of jewelery...all for you.
    Just Because

    Global Warming still growing,
    water is becoming warmer.
    Soon warm water sharks will be in waters that used to be cold...
    Be aware
    ocean has been the recipient of so much toxics, so many toxins, toooo many toxins,
    that all of it.s residents are complaining...
    but no one will help.
    Topside residents are in same peril...
    have you had your daily dose of toxins and radiation?

    The Everchanging Haight
    Welcome to the neighborhood "Your Skirt"
    ...just got situated in their new digs on Haight Street
    and already getting pictures and writeups in the Chronicle...

    Have you heard about Lindy Hop Dancing?
    Quite the swing so i hear, a cross between Swing Dancing and
    the Charelston...
    with everyone having a Swinging time...

    as well as lessons in the haight

    Test Subjects?
    Something really annoying...
    just saw a commercial for women to have only 4 periods a year.
    this is a drug you take regularly with the following side effects such as :
    Extra bleeding
    blood clots
    strokes
    death

    how long will the people continue to be led like lambs to the slaughter?

    LIfetimes of war?
    it has been awhile since any thing has been written in this journal,
    and you are not going to like what will be written today.

    But the truth cannot be denied...well, you can deny it if you want to because you have free will.

    so what do you think of this...
    and please do respond.

    i have this sinking feeling that the US has joined into the
    war that has been fought since the beginning of time.
    The many countries that play these war games for real
    call their wars just and holy, and now that the US has joined in the death games in their countries,
    i fear that it will spread across the US
    and over there will be right here.

    Is this a rational fear from a rational mind
    i ask you
    or is it just a rambling mind that has gone nuclear?

    Dharma is Gone
    Dharma is gone from the Haight Ashbury.
    Even the President of the Haight Ashbury Merchants Association
    is Sad..that's KC for short.
    You will be missed.
    what is a life without Dharma?

    also in the news,
    All you people that have passed
    by where the Eye Beam
    or was it I Beam, yeah that was it, the "I Beam",
    passed where it used to be Lately?
    mr b tore it all down
    put in housing over storefronts..
    nearing completion it is.
    He also tore down the straight theater {Haight Theater}
    on the corner of Haight and Cole.
    It was sad
    it was such a beautiful building
    big stage,
    Big Beautiful sweeping Balcony and angelic murals covering the ceiling.
    Such a Beautiful building,
    you could feel the energy resounding from the past Performances
    of the great bands that used to play.
    we tried to keep it as our center attraction of the Haight Ashbury,
    but money talks
    down it went with a silent crash and a cloud of dust filling the street.
    So mr b built a big store and leased it to some big drug store chain..
    someone burnt it to the ground.
    So he built it again and leased it to
    Goodwill.
    and the Haight Ashbury continues to change.
    Yep we have the Gap and the big Mac as well.
    but without Dharma
    can we go on?

    The Ultimate lifestyle
    Be patient, be aware, be relaxed,
    be still...
    have complete faith in yourself
    to have all of the necessary stuff that you need
    to prevail in any situation.
    You are the captain of your ship
    with the ability to steer your vessel in any direction
    that you choose.
    You are the master of your life with
    the power to manifest any thing you choose.
    You are the Buddha...

    So choose wisely the karma that you indulge,
    for your choice will be your merit.

    Greetings all sentient beings
    greetings to all intelligent life in the universe
    you know what it all means right?

    Today we will talk about desire.
    the Hashbury is full of desire.
    So many beautiful people,
    beautiful things in beautiful shops,
    so many kinds of food places to enjoy.
    Many nice buildings that we all live in,
    Cable tv & Satellite dishes
    Plasma tv and Fast Computers
    Fast cars and fast Sex.

    easy to forget about some higher power
    when we have so many desires to indulge in.
    so many pleasures to experience.-+*

    Some desires we carry with us all of our life.
    so we make a choice to indulge in this desire and then afterwards,
    sadness, anger, frustratrtion fill us with misery.
    Yet we do this all of our lives and even when we know the outcome.
    If we fight against our desires.. that only gives the desire energy and makes its roots become stronger.
    if we deny it we give credence to it.

    desires fall away when their existence is not supported.
    we can think we have gone beyond the desire
    while we flirt with the idea...
    and end up right in the clutches of the same desire.

    If we become free of desire it will be because we have shifted our attention to the higher intelligence within.
    The more we become aware of this the more the desire will fall away. And as we meditate on this higher consciousness
    we become aware and conscious of
    the ultimate lifestyle.

    LOVE
    Love Love Love

    if we could be in such a state of Pure Love...

    Looking back on a tender love relationship that lasted for maybe 17 years or so,
    i can see all of the good times and the dedication toward taking care of someone,
    but i can also see how i hurt that love and how i took it for granted.
    And i can also see that it was She who took care of and looked after me for all these years.
    Thats an incredible cat.
    Angel of my life,
    my spiritual roomate
    an incredible spiritual being that i will hold dear in my heart forever.
    an ode to Quinto,
    for bringing so much joy to my heart.

    She was here before you know.
    She showed me that she was living in egypt,
    in luxury.
    She was a princess.
    once when looking into her eyes,
    she opened a door that put us both with a vision of egypt.
    she showed me a view at ground level where she was walking
    and then from a level like she was being carried.
    It was egypt in the time of life around the pyramids and palaces
    and Pharoes and Princesses.
    There was definitly a Very strong feminine presence when
    quinto showed me egypt,
    don't know Who she was or what the Year was
    but let's just say
    it was very very interesting.

    Life in the Hashbury goes on...

    Question of the day for you.
    "How many planes of existence are there?"

    So all is well...
    here at least, hope the same for you and all the world.

    Usually go to Blue Front Deli on Haight Street for sun morn
    coffee & croissant
    and of course the sun paper,
    Nice to say good morning to friends...
    nice people own and run the place.
    from Jeruselem.
    all born again christians who are waiting for Jesus
    to walk upon the earth again. waiting...

    Someone is talking very loud about steroids and Barry Bonds and then more talk of this and that
    and then more talk of this and that...
    the mind is constantly rambling.

    How much do we know?
    how much do we really really know?
    not much...
    after thousands of years of existence,
    we still hate
    we still perpetuate violence
    we still kill other beings
    we are still lost in the mind...

    we were taught God is love.
    very simple...
    yet we have mucked it up quite good haven't we?

    So easy it is to hate and to find fault.
    one of the main foods for the web of illusion that we live in.
    The veil of illusion is woven so tightly into a web of lifestyles that perptuate living in ignorance and denial of the truth.

    We are so into our story,
    we hang onto so tightly to the physical plane structures...

    this is not a life of fullfillment-
    this is a life of living within a self imposed structure.
    and any structure created has made a wall of ignorance as thick as a brick.

    We have become totally locked within our minds,
    we have searched to eons for the truth of the universe through the telescope.
    The truth of the universe cannot be found through the telescope,
    it can only be found within the Self.

    The breath comes in
    the breath goes out...

    reflection upon this will stop the story that the mind continually churns out...
    the veil is woven tightly with thoughts...
    reflection upon the breath will slow down the thoughts,
    even allow some space between the thoughts,
    To Let You See The Truth come shing through...

    "All you need is Love"
    "Love is all you Need"
    the beetles-

    The centre of your being
    your self ,
    is within your Spiritual Heart.
    When we become completely still...
    when we become Quiet,
    the True Nature of the Self can be known.

    Meditation upon the breath is Very Powerful.
    reflection upon your breath during your daily routine is equally as powerful.
    this is one of the first meditation steps to finding your self
    and becoming fullfilled and complete.

    Greetings upon this earth plane
    to all of its beautiful, wonderful people that you are.
    Sunday in the Haight Ashbury...
    Praise be to the Lord of the Universe.
    Well
    whom else would you praise?
    ...
    Well
    who else would you praise?
    now what makes one right and one wrong?
    and if the President can change the constitution of the U.S.
    that means we could change Whom to Who...
    So where is the Truth?
    if everyting is relative,
    where is the absolute truth in all of this?

    This is where we are.
    our truth
    is hanging onto something relative
    that will change as our desires see fit.

    So we can see that we have the power to move energy
    to mold our desires into whatever we wish
    and we seem to be a product of everything that we think.

    In other words we seem to be stuck in a rut
    a virtual slave to our desires
    without any spiritual insight into the
    light of the Absolute Truth.
    just
    Another Day in Paradise
    in this Garden of Eden.

    also,
    heard that Dharma was moving out of the Hashbury,
    can't see The Hashbury without Dharma...

    Bon Jour, Ohio Gazaemus, Namaste, Aloha, Sawad Dee Krub,
    Buenos Dias, Guten Morgan,
    Greetings and Blessed Be.

    Gung Hai Fat Choi

    its Sunday here in the Hashbury....
    life is good here in the city,
    the weather is never too extreme and the breezes keep it relatively free from smog.
    Sure we have our Fog but we love it.
    we love a lot of different things and peoples here in the city.
    But mostly we love.
    You'll find many expressions of this love here in this city.

    Could be that it is an inherent thing about San Francisco...
    People that live here are aware of that love within their heart.
    and that is the greatest start to finding
    unconditional love.

    Unconditional love exists on a higher plane of our consciousness,
    So when tune into that realm we raise our level of awareness.

    and that is what it is is all about...

    So who's bright idea {the voters} was responsible for the tearing down of the freeway entrance and off ramps at fell streets.
    one of the biggest blunders of our times...
    When it was there ,
    it was easy to get into and out of the city.
    NOW?
    it is a congested mess.
    Mllions and millions of $'s and all that time and hard work
    a tremendous boost for the city,
    and it was all torn down to please a few property owners
    in that area.
    that one gets the peabrain award.
    oh and there is one more peabrain award.
    putting turn arounds in the middle of already small intersections
    in the Haight Ashbury.

    Just another day in Paradise,
    the leaves they do fall every year
    and that completely bare tree will once again grow
    all those leaves in a completely new fashion statement.

    The year of the monkey.
    well,
    monkey see monkey do
    see no evil hear no evil speak no evil

    a year for getting into mischef?

    no matter...
    the breath comes in
    the breath goes out
    those whom are aware of it
    at every second ,
    are freed from the enslavement of their mind.
    Wednesday, January 21st, 2004

    Another Year Another....?
    Greetings my terrestial friends
    my earthbound buddies of the realm of the endless mind.
    Happy New Year and endless Good Cheer...
    speakiing of the mind,
    Ever notice how our "chatter" just goes on and on?
    Mind chatter, our continuous thought that we weave
    into the veil of illusion {Maya}, our story that we continuously tell,
    the theatre that we play our life in...
    That continuous thought process that we engage in...
    We all know that right? only too well.
    SO,
    what happens if it all stops?
    What happens if all those thoughts are not thought anymore?
    if all that mind activity were to just stop and everything became quiet in the mind,...What would happen?
    Til then,
    The breath comes in and the breath goes out
    and the river of life flows on eternally in Rhythm

    yeah, yeah
    Sunday Muse

    life is exactly how we program it
    you know that, right?
    There are no accidents, no coincidences.
    everything is cause and effect.
    we have everything that we have set ourselves up to have.
    That being said
    all things follow.

    Our level of awareness
    our level of consciousness
    is a result of how many thoughts and desires
    we currently hold onto
    which regulates how thick and dense the Ego is.

    so we can sumize that we are creating our Heaven
    and we are creating our Hell...
    our destiny, we are creating, simply by how we feel and think.
    Our world is being created and maintained by each
    and every thought that we hold onto.

    Problem is
    all thoughts are inside of a box.
    like that is your stage where all of your thoughts dance across the screen.

    just like the chatter inside our mind that rambles non stop....
    the performance across that stage or screen
    is non stop....inside the box

    we believe in thinking and thought because it is all that we have ever known.
    it is what we have been taught to do since the beginning of birth,
    to keep ourselves inside that box.

    but i am telling you
    it is all a lie.

    Truth,
    God, Paradise, Enlightenment, happiness....
    Only found when the chatter stops.
    when the constant stream of thought stops,
    when the mind becomes completely still,
    then consciousness expands
    and one evolves into higher planes of awareness

    and be aware of it continuously
    and your elevator will begin it's ascent
    into higher awareness...
