Brand New Civilization

Warmest spiritual greetings, Awoke early to accommodate “deep cleaning Wednesday” at Adam’s Place Homeless Shelter in northeast Washington, D.C. On the way to the bus stop, picked up all of the litter on the way down the hill, (because the juice heads and junkies from the shelter, and also the two trendy night clubs, cannot get the empties and associated litter into the available trash containers. Proceeded to Whole Foods on H Street for a breakfast nosh which included wild salmon chowder mixed with corn and shrimp chowder. There are some advantages to being in the Chesapeake Bay region. Then, pushed on to the MLK Public Library, and upon being encouraged by a librarian to get a temporary District of Columbia library card using the California driver’s license as ID, am now on a computer for 70 minutes. Having a D.C. library card will enable me to write lengthier communiques, as opposed to the previous snippets condemning the insane stupidity of the American experiment with freedom and democracy, which you do understand includes the aggravating and completely crazy fact that it has become impossible to get affordable basic housing anymore in the United States. Whereas I am forever identified with that which is “prior to consciousness”, as a result of profound meditational and other mystical experiences resulting from decades of regular spiritual practices, the ignorance of identifying with the body and mind cannot ever be my problem. And so, having fulfilled my commitment and objectives insofar as being supportive of the Washington, D.C. Peace Vigil for the sixteenth time, I am now prepared to leave the homeless shelter, and return to California. For those of you who have also freed yourselves from the delusional spectacle of samsara, particularly the schizophrenic American variety, please contact me. Let’s set up a brand new civilization based on the Immortal Atman, or sacred heart chakra.

The Last Word

Nirvikalpa Samadhi is the mind absorbed in the Absolute. Stop identifying with the body and the mind, and your problem is solved.

God Is the Eternal Witness

One time in 1993 at Yogaville in Buckingham, Virginia, a woman asked Swami Satchidananda: "What is God?" The guru replied: "God is the Eternal Witness." 🕉️
