The Brahmic Vrittis Take Over

Awoke early at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, California. Holding fast to "the constant", understanding that the body and the mind change, but "the knower" never changes, there is no interference with the Dao working through the body-mind complex. Neti pot followed by tongue scraping followed by teeth brushing followed by shaving followed by a hot shower. One action flows into the next, effortlessly, the Brahmic vrittis having taken over. Walked to Plowshares and enjoyed a free pork lunch with apple sauce, pasta, and a slab of German chocolate cake; compliments of those dedicated Catholic Workers. Left there and checked the Powerball ticket, not yet not yet, and purchased another one for the next draw. [The Brahmins at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, South India said that they play the lottery, because if God wants to give them money to do God's will, they have to get it somehow!] Since 1994, have been playing three major lotteries twice weekly. The winnings have paid for the tickets thus far. Continued on to the Ukiah Co-op for a small drip coffee enjoyed in the cafe. Energized, walked to the Ukiah Public Library with a brief stop at the Hospice Retail Store. Presently on public computer #4 at the library. A thought arises and is observed by "the knower", and then the thought dissipates. No action is taken as a result of any particular thought. The body remains still. All action is as a result of the Brahmic vrittis, which will dictate for the remainder of this incarnation, all the way back to Godhead. This is the summum bonum of the Sanatana Dharma, or non dualistic vedantic way of life. All other paths are inherently included, because paths are many and the truth is one. It is full and it is complete. The mahavakya from the vedas is Tat Tvam Asi, which translates from the Sanskrit as That Thou Art. The deep, mysterious, divine, absolute is one's true nature. That thou art. Now you know the mystery!! As this civilization heads into 2023 Anno Domini, (which the yearly prediction issue of The Economist foretells will be an insane hell), I am available to leave the homeless shelter in Ukiah, California and am available for spiritually sourced direct action. I've got $166.81 in the checking account, health is basically good for a 73 year old two-legged, am basically sane, and ready. You are welcome to make contact at your earliest convenience. ~Happy New Year~ ☺ Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com Telephone Messages: (707) 234-3270 Share 💲Here: Paypal.me/craiglouisstehr Snail Mail: P.O.

The Full Realization of the Inherent Emptiness of All Phenomena

Years ago, following my participation in a month long repentance at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Talmage, California, (which featured reciting Buddhist chants in Chinese along with thirteen thousand bows), I asked Abbot Lau what his goal was. He said: "My goal is to allow the Dao to work through me without interference." Prior to this, in the summer of 1994 at the Shivananda Ashram in Muni-Ki-Reti, India, the long time secretary of the Divine Life Society, Swami Krishnananda told me that: "It is difficult not to identify with the body and the mind, because the body itself is a reflection of the Divine Absolute." He encouraged everyone to chant: "I'm not the body, I'm not the mind, Immortal Self I am!" The swami left his body using his will power, by going into mahasamadhi, which was videotaped and is available at Shivananda online. Swamiji even sent out invitations to be with him, and foretold the day and time of his "going up". Left the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, California this morning and walked to the Ukiah Co-op, not identified with the body nor the mind. Gave the mind the panchakshara mantram Om Namah Shivaya to do. Following a caprese sandwich with coffee, ambled over to the Ukiah Public Library. Presently am sitting in front of computer #4 tap tap tapping away. If you haven't read it yet, check out the latest issue of The Economist, which predicts the year 2023. Why don't we just say that it is not "warm and fuzzy". The future on the planet earth is predicted to be one insane hell. My new year's resolution is to "let the Brahmic vrittis take over". ~Happy New Year~ Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com Telephone Messages: (707) 234-3270 Money!!

Between the Worlds

Awoke at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, California December 16th, 2022 Anno Domini, with the mind reciting the Catholic Hail Mary prayer; none the worse for a previous evening stop at The Forest Club, having enjoyed a couple of pints of Sierra Nevada's Hazy plus a shot of 12 yr. old Glenfiddich, Also played an assortment of tunes on the juke box. Left early because we could not get through to the shelter by phone, due to their faulty phone system, and thus did return there by 8PM so as not to get "rolled up", and have to move out of doors. Morning ablutions were followed by a walk to Plowshares dining room for a free pork lunch. Left there at noon and walked to the Ukiah Co-op for more coffee. That propelled me onward to the Ukiah Public Library. Somewhere in all of that, the mind's activity changed to chanting Om Namah Shivaya, which was serene and appropriate with the surrounding hills and the bright sunny day. This chant from the Sanatana Dharma has huge magical properties, and will thoroughly cleanse karma. In the way of Integral Yoga, in which "paths are many and the truth is one", the jiva has a lot to work with. Given the incalculable amount of chaos on the planet earth presently, plus the propensity for the humanity to rival "worms in excretia", one having a full array of spiritual tools in the one's divine tool bag is essential. Although the Anderson Valley Advertiser Publisher this morning encouraged me to live in Mendocino County permanently, I had to respond that 1.money and 2. housing WITHOUT OBLIGATION is a requirement. Anybody interested in my offering to stay on here longer term, please send money to Paypal.me/craiglouisstehr, and let me know when I can leave the homeless shelter for a more socially integrated housing situation, at Building Bridges (707) 234-3270. I am willing to make a commitment, but I have to receive something, other than the world's problems. Is that clear? Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, as the earth spins around the sun! ~Peaceout~ Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com Telephone Messages: (707) 234-3270 Send Money Here: Paypal.me/craiglouisstehr Snail Mail: P.O.

Merry Christmas

Awoke this morning at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, California, having concluded a commitment to voluntarily bottom line the trash & recycling chore there, since March 1st. Ambled over to the Express Mart to check LOTTO , then headed for the Ukiah Co-op for a caprese sandwich and a cup o’ coffee, enjoyed in the cafe; presently am seated at a computer in the Ukiah Public Library. I AM READY TO MOVE SIGNIFICANTLY ONWARD! It has been unique being in Mendocino county since returning from Honolulu in November of 2020. Was supportive of the trimmer scene in Redwood Valley for 13 months before they kicked me out. Was supportive of Andy Caffrey’s effort to digitalize the Earth First! video archive and place it for perpetuity in the cloud. Got a pacemaker inserted at Adventist Hospital, because all of the stress caused the two heart chambers to misfire. Redwood Community Services gave me a bed at Building Bridges March 1st. Enjoyed many fine free meals at Plowshares. Made friends with a very wide range of displaced individuals at the homeless shelter. As of this moment, I am available on the planet earth for spiritually focused direct action. I already am enlightened, and do not require watching mental activity (thoughts) anymore. They repeat over and over and over, to eventually wanting to beat the crap out of American postmodernism, before the mind returns to silence. ~Merry Christmas~ Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com Telephone Messages: (707) 234-3270 Send Money Here: Paypal.me/craiglouisstehr Snail Mail: P.O.

Craig Louis Stehr Interview (Anderson Valley Advertiser, Boonville, CA)

NAMASTE, EVERYONE by Marilyn Davin After reading his messages in the AVA for lo these many years, I finally met Craig Louis Stehr in downtown Ukiah. Having no idea of what he looked like (he emailed me an AVA profile from years ago but I never read another writer’s impressions of someone before doing an interview myself, and online images didn’t offer much), I imagined Stehr might look a little like my blonde, blue-eyed Hindu brother: highlighted hair down to his elbows, tie-dyed tights, tennis shoes (no leather, he’s been a strict vegetarian for more than 40 years), and the stunted, worn teeth that his SF dentist told him are common in people who spend a lifetime eating a high-acid strictly vegetarian diet. No such imagining could have been further from the truth in Stehr’s case. When Stehr walked toward me after passing through the gate of the Building Bridges homeless resource center on South State Street, I knew instinctively it was him even though he looked like one of my literature professors at Berkeley — clean-cut, but somehow hip at the same time. And when he took his hat off the curly white tendrils of hair on his forehead gave him the distinct vibe of a bust of Julius Caesar. He carried with him the Winter 2022 edition of Slingshot, a self-described independent anarchist’s newspaper, but with undertones of Mad magazine. One prominent article entitled “The Rise of the Anarchists” features the caricature of a young guy with dollar signs wearing a sideways baseball cap, with the accompanying caption: Most people who say they’re anarchists don’t want to give up unearned forms of hierarchy or make the changes that would entail. True enough. The front page article on the “revival” of Berkeley’s People’s Park took me way back to when I was 18 and cheering on the “people’s” struggle over that infamous square of downtown Berkeley real estate. Stehr had asked ahead of time if I minded driving him to his post office box in Redwood Valley, which of course I did not. Why Redwood Valley? “The Ukiah post office wouldn’t give me a post office box because I’m homeless,” he explained, so he only collects his mail every few weeks or so when he scores a ride up the freeway. He carried his bundle of mail back to my car and we set off back down to Ukiah in search of a quiet place to chat. Stehr chose Black Oak Coffee Roasters on North State Street, where we settled in with café lattés (with complicated milk-foam decorations on top) and pastries. He recommended a pastry with a dollop of raspberry jam in the middle and it was indeed delish. Stehr’s physical presence is engaging and open. He laughs spontaneously and often, and its joyous sound is infectious. He sees the follies of the world for what they are but says he doesn’t sink into their sorrows. “I am in the world but not of the world,” he said, a foundational biblical belief that provides emotional distance from the noisy, divisive issues that so bedevil us. He told me that one of the main differences between himself and others is that his beliefs afford him that emotional distance: a quiet, spiritual space in which to retreat from the nonsensical madness of the world. “It can anchor the mind,” he said, “a place I can go to.” Stehr added that he has concerns and worries just like everyone else but doesn’t respond with the high emotion expressed by others who wish our world could become a kinder, gentler place — which isn’t to say that he has no opinions about worldly goings-on. For example, though Stehr was raised Catholic and chose a different spiritual path, he says he harbors no resentment toward Catholicism. Nor does he see any spiritual conflict with his pro-choice beliefs. “I stand what I stand on and I know who I am,” he said. “Your sense of God dictates your life.” Stehr told me that his relationship with the AVA began many years ago (he couldn’t recall the exact year) when he met Bruce Anderson at the Anarchist’s Book Fair at 9th and Lincoln in San Francisco. He said he also met Anderson with Alex Cockburn at a “Save Our Jobs” protest. “We went there to support the workers,” he said. Stehr has written for dozens if not scores of publications, including Slingshot and the AVA. He comes by his writing honestly; his mother Margaret, a real estate broker in Milwaukee, left her obit, which she wrote herself, next to her body when she died. About his own inevitable death, he said he is “uncomfortable but not afraid,” adding that, “I’ve never left the body before.” Spiritual seekers and devotees often share life experiences that validate and intensify their beliefs, and Stehr is no exception. He described one of particular intensity that happened years ago in San Francisco. “I got to a point when there was nowhere to go, either backward or forward,” he said, and ended up drawing a circle in the sand at Ocean Beach and sitting in the middle of it to meditate. As day turned into night he said he gained clarity in the stillness of his meditating mind. “I just accepted my circumstances,” he said. “When I came back to consciousness after a whole day I just started laughing into the dark.” On a very different occasion Stehr said he received a special request from Swami Prabuddhananda to become the live-in assistant to ailing William “Bill” Edward Corcoran for the last years of his life. “I was there for three years, sleeping on Bill’s kitchen floor,” Stehr said, adding that he was present for Corcoran’s cremation and the scattering of his ashes beneath the Golden Gate Bridge from a rented boat. Stehr said he is always searching for opportunities to support causes that he believes can improve life on Earth, a life-long quest he describes in his regular messages in the AVA. Ideally, he said that he would like to participate on a larger national platform — which brings us to the state lottery, which Stehr plays twice a week. He has plans for his winnings should Powerball or Mega Millions pick the lucky numbers on one of his tickets. “I’d move to Capitol Hill,” he said, which he’s visited 16 times and believes to be ground zero for raising issues on the national stage. But for now he’s bunking at Building Bridges while seeking out that next opportunity. “They call me The Mayor,” he laughed. “It’s warm, it’s comfortable, and they like me, so for the moment I’m parked here.” But talking about the local homeless situation did touch a nerve. “Talmage could have been used,” he said, referring to the former 488-acre, multiple-building site of a large state hospital. Purchased on the cheap by the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association, the “City of Ten Thousand Buddhas” now generates an estimated $244,862 in annual revenue from its restaurant, day care, classes, and many other activities. We left Black Oak for Safeway, where Stehr often buys his fruit and yogurt for dinner (though he does enjoy the occasional steak dinner at Applebee’s, along with one of his favorite beers and a shot of whiskey). As we said our good-byes back in the Building Bridges parking lot, he offered some advice for spiritual seekers, which he no longer considers himself to be since he found what he was looking for: “Stop identifying with the body and the mind and your problem is solved.”

Crucial Message November 30th, 2022 Ukiah, California

Am now chanting Om Namah Shivaya continuously, as an alternative to “random discursive thinking”. The stupidity of the cannabis trimmers putting me out of my place in Redwood Valley twice, because they did not want anything incredible to develop there, has now been realized as a blessing in disguise. Totally free, sleeping at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah paying zero dollars, health at 73 is good, Self realized, which means that I know what I am, $759.88 in Social Security benefits due in the next couple of days, and the Goddess loves me! You tell me, (and don’t bother sugaring it): WHO IS THE FOOL?

Post Thanksgiving Pre Christmas in the Total American Fantasy

Warmest spiritual greetings, Following a day of volunteering with the trash & recycling chore at Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, California, am this moment on a public computer at the Ukiah Public Library. I have no idea what is next, and cannot even begin to explain why I am in Mendocino County anymore. The entire future in postmodern America appears to be a blank.

Warmest spiritual greetings, Yesterday afternoon, meandered north on State Street to The Pub for a necessary and well-deserved three pints of beer, a shot of Woodford Reserve, and played all of the blues on the juke box. Lively conversation ensued! Moved on to Miss Saigon restaurant for an equally necessary and well-deserved lobster & steak meal. This sufficiently ameliorates the impossible situation of being, for no particular reason, in Mendocino county living on less than $800 monthly social security, sleeping at Building Bridges homeless shelter (which is an alright place, well-staffed, safe, and appreciated), and being unable to answer any of the mundane questions such as 1.Why am I here on earth?, 2.What does the immediate future hold?, and 3.When am I leaving this world to return to my true spiritual home forever? I am NOT identified with the body nor the mind. This includes the ego,which is one of the 8 aspects of the mind. I am identified with that which is prior to consciousness. I am available for spiritually focused direct action on this planet of confusion and conflict. I would like to hook up with others who are similarly here on the planet earth, as soon as possible.

Still Here! Right this Moment!! Typing this at 11:43AM PDT @ Ukiah, CA Public Library

Good morning postmodern America and worldwide friends, Awoke early at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in the Mendocino county seat of Ukiah, California USA. Following morning ablutions, inquired as to where a staff member put my shorts and bright orange shirt after they were of necessity independently laundered last night. Unable to locate them, proceeded to empty all of the baskets inside of the shelter into the container barrels just outside of the entrances, and then, due to insufficient trash & recycling clothes to wear, had to leave the next step of taking the outside containers to the enclosed area to separate the trash from the recycling (includes the redeemable for money bottles and cans), for later. After picking up all of the litter in front of the building which was left last night by the roving bands of loudly cursing, beer chugging, fentanyl smoking, needle freaks, I proceeded to the Ukiah Co-op for a breakfast burrito and a cup of coffee. And then walked to the Ukiah Public Library to read the New York Times. This concludes my report insofar as being here in the Golden Present is concerned. 🆓😃🆒 I wish all global Jivan Muktas to know that I am identified with that which is prior to consciousness. I am not identified with the body nor the mind; particularly the ego, which is one of the eight aspects of the mind.

Arose early at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, California. Following morning ablutions, bottom lined the trash and recycling voluntary chore to keep the place tidy. Then walked to the Ukiah Co-op for sushi and coffee, afterwards venturing to the Ukiah Public Library. Read through four back issues of the New York Times. Nothing at all appeared interesting.

Birth Day #73 Message

The very warmest spiritual greetings to all, Please know that on September 28th, 1949 Craig Louis Stehr was delivered by caesarean section at the catholic hospital in East Cleveland, Ohio. Many years later father Donald Louis Stehr observed, "I was present at your birth. You came out screaming, and you haven't stopped yet!" I am identified with "that which is prior to consciousness", id est, not the body and not the mind. Rather, that which works through the body-mind complex. Indian vedic scriptures describe this as the condition of the Jivan Mukta, which translates as Spirit Liberated. I am presently housed at the Building Bridges homeless shelter located at 1045 South State Street in Ukiah, California, 95482. The telephone message number is (707) 234-3270. My email address is craiglouisstehr@gmail.com. Health is good. The checking account balance is $320.35. Cash and coin in the wallet is $66.00 in cash and coin is $0.88. The staff associated with Redwood Community Services informs me that although I am on a list for subsidized housing, it will be difficult to realize because I cannot afford any rent money, since I am living on $425.00 social security plus $334.88 SSI for a total monthly income of $759.88. I am accepting money at PayPal.me/craiglouisstehr. The reason that I do not have more social security income is because I spent the past 50 years involved in peace and justice activism, which included 23 years of serving the American people free of charge with Catholic Worker and related voluntary social service groups. I want to move on. I wish to be active, not passive, on the planet earth in these dire days of environmental implosion, economic instability, and spiritual confusion. I am particularly seeking opportunity in the Washington, D.C. area, where I have been 15 times since June of 1991 as a part of the 24/7 anti nuclear vigil in front of the White House, and also volunteered at the Zacchaeus Kitchen at 11th & G Streets, and bottom lined the pots 'n pans station at D.C. Occupy as a part of the kitchen working group, and have written extensively about all of it, which was published all over the place, both on and off line. I request assistance to leave Mendocino County and relocate to Washington, D.C. because it is an alternative to being in Ukiah doing nothing of any particular importance, (aside from performing a voluntary chore of taking care of the trash & recycling at the homeless shelter). Nota Bene: The United States of America owes me this!! What can I get, and how soon can I get it? Thank you very much.

Spiritual Message for the Age of Kali

~No Yesterday, No Tomorrow, No Today~ Following an absolutely splendid afternoon yesterday at The Pub (585 N. State Street, Ukiah, CA) quaffing three pints of Russian River’s Blind Pig plus a shot of Woodford Reserve, played every blues tune on the juke box and met many more local residents with generational intertwined regional histories. Awoke early today, and following morning ablutions, bottom lined the trash & recycling chore at Building Bridges homeless shelter, and then hoofed it down to the Catholic Worker Plowshares Dining Room for another sumptuous meal. Today’s fare featured sliced pork, rice, steamed squash, salad, apple sauce, slices of pear, bread, a piece of cherry pie, and a beverage. As well, their prices are unbeatable, since it is all free! Nota bene: carried a trash bag and picked up litter on both sides of S. State Street. Am right this moment at the Ukiah Public Library on a computer, about to read today’s New York Times to enjoy “all the news that’s fit to print”. And then, it’s off to Schat’s Bakery for a java jolt. And then, and then, and then…MIND ABSORBED IN THE ABSOLUTE…NO PLACE TO GO!!!

4th Dimension Anchor, 3rd Dimension Non-Attachment, Avatar Duty, Return to Godhead

Warmest spiritual greetings, The weather has cooled on the California north coast, as the Autumn season begins replacing the oven-like days, and rain, blessed rain, is forecasted to hydrate the parched region. Life at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah goes on. The free meals at the Catholic Worker Plowshares Kitchen are sumptuous and open to all. Praise the Lord! Mendocino county social services continue to assist those in need of everything, from medical and dental to basic housing to employment to whatever it is that one requires in the American experiment in freedom and democracy, and for whatever reason one does not have. I am doing nothing of any crucial importance presently, and am available to intervene in history, in order to destroy the demonic and return this world to righteousness. If you are telling me that you are on the spiritual path, then you know that there is no other reason to be on the planet earth than to do this. For the liberated, it is the reason that we are here. And beyond that, we may drop these body-mind instruments and go up. This is the view of a Jivan Mukta. I would first and foremost like to exit the homeless shelter in order to give the bed up to one of the campers outside. I would like to hook up with others who realize that we must let the Dao work through us without interference, because realistically, this is the will of God. And this is the whole point of Self-realization. And this is the way to Immortality. I'd like to get this message out very far and wide. Please forward. Thank you very much. 🆓😊🆒 Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com Telephone Messages: (707) 234-3270 Share💲Here: PayPal.me/craiglouisstehr da blog: http://craiglstehr.blogspot.com Snail Mail: P.O.

Message from the Spiritual Platform

Warmest spiritual greetings, Identifying with "that which is prior to consciousness", not the body and not the mind, non-attached to the constant flow of activity in the third dimension, there is nothing whatsoever for me to do any further in Mendocino County. I may leave at any time and go forth on the planet earth, to take action in order to destroy the demonic and return this world to righteousness. YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN WITH ME! Physical health is good at 72 years, mind is functioning properly, a thousand dollars is available at this time with no debts anywhere, educated, published, and Self-realized. It has been a splendid past six months in Mendocino County: rent free accomodations at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, CA, a $21,000 expenditure for a heart pacemaker which the insurance paid for. two stainless steel crowns and a cleaning at a dental office in Sonoma County paid for by the insurance, eye exam plus new eye glasses on the way also paid for by the insurance, and free meals at the Catholic Worker inspired Plowshares Dining Room. That left $800 social security monthly plus LOTTO winnings to finance an irregular visit to The Forest Club for $3 pints & a shot, playing all of the blues on the juke box, and am welcome back at any time. You tell me: what does enlightenment look like? P.S. I am happy. 🆒😃🆓 Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com Telephone Messages: (707) 234-3270 Share💲Here: PayPal.me/craiglouisstehr da blog: http://craiglstehr.blogspot.com Snail Mail: P.O.

“Everything physical and mental is a reflection of the Divine Absolute.” Craig Louis Stehr September 2, 2022 Anno Domini

No Subject

Dropped by The Forest Club in downtown Ukiah, California Thursday afternoon and enjoyed three pints of Sierra Nevada Hazy Beer plus two shots of bartender recommended Pendleton whiskey, brewed in Oregon. Sufficiently empowered, proceeded to play all of the blues on the juke box, choosing artists who covered the compositions, as opposed to the performers who made the tunes famous. This resulted in discovering some real gems on the juke box. For two hours, participated in lively conversations with the other patrons, while occasionally watching the sports screen. Awoke happy and fully satisfied Friday morning. Following the usual ablutions so I appear clean and bright all day, co-bottomlined the trash & recycling chore at Building Bridges homeless shelter, and then headed out to the Ukiah Co-op for a black bean burrito and French roast coffee. Am presently on a computer at the Ukiah Public Library, and soon will read The New York Times newspaper. Will eventually drop by the SBMC for some wallet money, and then it's off to Safeway to purchase evening food to get me through the night. In fact, I have no idea whatsoever what lies beyond the present moment. I have no idea whatsoever why I am in Mendocino county. I have no idea whatsoever why we are even on the planet earth. I have no idea whatsoever about why this mind has no idea whatsoever about anything at all. Of that I am certain! 😊 Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com Telephone Messages: (707) 234-3270 Share💲Here: PayPal.me/craiglouisstehr da blog: http://craiglstehr.blogspot.com Snail Mail: P.O.

Brahmic Vrittis, Resting Comfortably in the Svarupa, the 4th Dimension

Warmest spiritual greetings to everyone on the planet earth, Am at the Ukiah Public Library having just finished reading the New York Times appreciation of Mikhail Gorbachev. That, plus "all the news that's fit to print", which resulted in sitting in an easy chair, mind resting comfortably in the svarupa (heart chakra), breathing slow and rhythmic, an occasional thought crawling through. The global news was fully digested, with no apparent side effects. Social security money comes in tomorrow, an appointment for September 7th will result in new eye glasses, and otherwise there is nothing whatsoever on the horizon. Considering the psychological hell and material confusion which defines daily life, at least according to The New York Times, maybe it is okay that relaxing in "haiku spelled backwards" is the present situation. But still...contact me if you wish to do anything crucial. I'm available. 🆓☺🆒 Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com Telephone Messages: (707) 234-3270 Share💲Here: PayPal.me/craiglouisstehr da blog: http://craiglstehr.blogspot.com Snail Mail: P.O.

The Brahmic Vrittis Take Over

O Jivan Muktas, Awoke early and following morning ablutions at Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, California, proceeded to bottom line the voluntary trash & recycling chore, finishing at 9AM. Went to the laundry in the shopping complex at S. State Street and Talmage Road. Thomas Cook, out on an amble, dropped in with big stories about past adventures in Mendocino county. Returned to the shelter and put the clothes away. Headed out with a trash bag to pick up litter, and did so all the way to Plowshares, where an impressive free Irish style lunch was served. Walked back on the other side of the street picking up litter,(while dental flossing the corned beef from between the teeth). Took a cold shower upon returning, and then headed out to the Ukiah Co-op for an adaptogenic mushroom drink, and then, floated north on Main Street to the Ukiah Public Library. Am right this minute on a public computer at 4:08PM Pacific Daylight Time. The brahmakara vrittis have taken over! Please contact me if you wish to do anything crucial on the planet earth.

Om Namah Shivaya in Ukiah

Upon awakening Sunday morning, began chanting the panchakshara mantra "Om Namah Shivaya" while still in the bed, and kept it going all the day long. (Still going at 8:47PM while sitting on the Building Bridges homeless shelter dorm bed writing this.) Following the morning ablutions, checked the lottery tix at the Express Mart & gas station across the street, and then ambled on to the Ukiah Co-op for a breakfast burrito and French roast organic coffee. A woman named Joanne walked up and inquired if I often submitted my jottings to the Anderson Valley Advertiser, which of course sparked a unique chat. Exited the co-op and walked north toward The Dragon's Lair's new location across from the Goodwill, and then doubled back going east on Brush Street. A woman who used to be at the shelter was out taking a walk, and asked what I was doing on foot in that part of town. I offered that I was walking all over Ukiah chanting ancient vedic mantrams. She said that was a cool thing to do. Eventually arrived at Lucky's supermarket and downed a cold yerba mate to hydrate. Empowered, walked straight south on Orchard Avenue to Gobbi, then headed west to the Safeway for bananas, yoghurt, and mango juice for the evening nourishment. Booked back to the shelter in 15 minutes and took a shower, and then laid down on the bed. The panchakshara mantra continues silently being recited. This practice is an effective alternative to the psychological hell of postmodernism, and the nausea of materialism. It confers immortality and final spiritual liberation.

Summer. Ukiah, California. The 4th Dimension.

Huge spiritual greetings to all, Awoke Sunday morning in my bed at Building Bridges homeless shelter in sunny Ukiah, California, and following the voluntary chore of trash & recycling, realized that there was nothing else to do, nowhere to go particularly, and had some money to spend. Walked to WalMart and spent the morning perusing every single aisle. Purchased nothing, and then walked to Applebee's restaurant. Two Sierra Nevadas and a Firestone 805, plus a shot o' Buchanan's Deluxe scotch whiskey, prepped me for the 8 oz. sirloin smothered in shrimp and parmesan sauce, (switching out the broccoli for onion rings of course). Throughout, watched baseball, featuring closeups of former American president George W. Bush in the box with the sportscasters. Left Applebee's and got a chocolate covered king size PayDay for the walk back. Awoke Monday morning, and following the voluntary chore of trash & recycling, walked to the Plowshares Dining Room for a free meal. Returned to my comfortably cool men's dorm room, and stayed there the entire day and night, mostly in the bed, watching the mind's thoughts. That is correct...you got it...spent the entire day and night on Monday doing nothing but watching the mind's activity, as an alternative to pointlessly walking around Ukiah in the heat. This is called "being mindful". There are now magazines devoted to the topic at Safeway. Awoke Tuesday morning, and following the usual morning ablutions, plus the trash & recycling voluntary chore, walked to Plowshares with a trash bag collecting litter along the way. Following another delicious free meal, walked back with the trash bag collecting litter on the other side of South State Street. The City of Ukiah needs to appreciate the fact that the homeless are an asset, not only "not a problem". Hopefully, this will be understood at the time when budgetary considerations are made, and more money may be allocated to serve the needs of the neediest. Meanwhile, am reading "Gleanings from Nisargadatta", containing excerpts of talks from 1976-7, preserved by author Mark West who was at the Jnana Yoga master's place in Mumbai, India. This is the 4th dimension. This is where all of the bullshit stops. You can live there!! Nota bene: The ACER computer has lived out its life. Technicians at RespechTech checked it out thoroughly and have pronounced it dead. RIP. If anybody in postmodern America wants to do anything amazing with me again, leave a message at (707) 234-3270. Or email me at craiglouisstehr@gmail.com. Otherwise, I will continue identifying with that which is prior to consciousness. Hopefully, you are doing the same. 😁📿🆒 Craig Louis Stehr August 23rd, 2022 Anno Domini

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Instruction

"There are always moments when one feels empty and estranged. Such moments are most desirable, for it means the soul has cast its moorings and is sailing for distant places. This is detachment--when the old is over and the new has not yet come. If you are afraid, the state may be distressing: but there is really nothing to be afraid of. Remember the instruction: Whatever you come across--go beyond." ~Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj "The Blissful Life", compiled by Robert Powell, page 67. Copyright 1984, The Acorn Press, Durham, North Carolina. ISBN: 0-89386-014-X

Happy Earth Day

In the midst of this insane glorious dark phase of the Kali yuga, please continue to identify with that which is "prior to consciousness", do not go on the "journey of the mind" lest you destroy thyself, eat healthily and take long walks. Otherwise, am allowing the bank account to slowly build itself up again since living at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, CA is free of charge. Am eager to move on and perform spiritually based direct action, in defense of Mother Earth. I'm ready.

Brahma Muhurta @ Building Bridges Homeless Shelter Ukiah, CA

Good morning postmodern America, It is 4 a.m., the "hour of Brahman", and almost everybody is asleep at the homeless shelter here in the Mendocino county seat of Ukiah. Sitting at the computer in the common area, mind is happy and free. We are Jivan Muktas all! Identified with that which is prior to consciousness, and not attached to the body nor the mind, we make up our own rules. This is divine anarchy. Totally free. Like the geese in the sky, we go where we need to go and we do what we need to do. We leave no trace. I am able to leave Haiku spelled backwards at any time. When would you like to assemble a spiritual direct action group for the purpose of destroying the demonic and intervening in history? I am ready. 🙏📿😊 Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com 💲PayPal.me/craiglouisstehr Telephone Messages 24/7: (707) 234-3270 Blog: http://craiglstehr.blogspot.com Snail Mail: P.O.Box 938, Redwood Valley, CA 95470 18.IV.'22

Alive in the Mendocino County Social Services System

Warmest spiritual greetings, Please appreciate the fact that the Mendocino County Social Services System has come through incredibly well in ensuring my survival at the moment. Being evicted from the cannabis trimmer scene (which developed where I was living for over one year in Redwood Valley), necessitated having long time friends Pay Pal me money to remain indoors in Ukiah motels, which eventually resulted in the heart's two chambers not working together properly due to a number of factors related to my social situation, which necessitated a pacemaker being implanted at Adventist Hospital, and concluded with my being safe and secure at Building Bridges winter shelter where I am right now. Social Services is working to place me in a subsidized studio somewhere in the Ukiah area. Ukiah Crisis Care is meeting with me on a weekly basis for a relaxed conversation, which I am finding to be very important and effective...just being able to interact with somebody else in an informal manner is valuable beyond measure right now. Beyond all of it, I remain resolute in continuing to do the peace & justice & environmental activist work that I have been involved with the past 50 years, and ultimately, I am only really interested in doing that which is pleasing to God.

Pacemaker Installed..Shelter Bed Applied For...Love to All

Warmest spiritual greetings, Please know that I have received a heart pacemaker, due to an advanced level 2 blockage. Was discharged from Adventist Hospital in Ukiah last night. Today am interviewing with Building Bridges to get a shelter bed. Am looking forward to working with Redwood Community Services ongoing, in order to address my homelessness. Thanking everybody for your friendship. Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com PayPal.me/craiglouisstehr March 1, 2022

Trusting the Mystery

Attended Catholic mass at Our Lady of the Redwoods in Garberville, CA Saturday at 5 o'clock, after which the priest said that he will continue praying for me so that I "move on to my next highest good". Spent the remainder of the evening walking around the town that's four blocks long enjoying the feeling of solidity and warmth that comes from receiving Holy Communion. Picked up all of the aluminum cans and recycled them, picked up the litter too, bought new LOTTO tickets, and watched the mind which was calm for a change in the midst of the ever changing social circumstances. On Thursday February 17th by agreement, I am scheduled to leave the apartment which doubles as The Earth First! Media Center. Having no idea whatsoever where I am going to go, this brings up the entire subject of trusting the mystery. If you haven't tried being this detached, you might. When not feeling that you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown, you find out that you are free. As the priest said: "You will be rewarded in heaven".

Warmest spiritual greetings, Please live in the golden present happily, knowing that under all conditions we are knowledge, bliss, absolute. Am right this second sunk into the big green couch at The Earth First! Media Center in Garberville, California, listening to bhajans from Vrindavan, India dedicated to Srimati Radharani (Lord Sri Krishna's eternal consort). It is raining and cold outside, which is normal winter weather for Southern Humboldt county. Am packed up, the laundry is done, am sipping a cup of Humboldt Coffee Co.'s "Pirate Blend", and prepared to go anywhere worldwide that Brahman (God Almighty) wills this body-mind complex to go.
