OOHhh BTW Charlie,

I am Nailcakes from UNDERHOUSE on Cole and Oak. I lived with Shills, Count, Jimmie Painter and Whitney, The ladies, my sisters were, Ellen D Felon, Diane, Cheryl, Gloria Rita and Taurus Barbara.

 

Charlie you remember the little cabin in PV that SGT Peppers had the papers for. After Greg was healed up(we had to fly him back to DC as he was phucked up and infected ) I hitched back to Maryland/D.C. picked him up when he was all healed. When we got back to Boulder we took that Cabin place over, Remember the Cave in the back of PV and that cave up by that little water falls on the way up to nederlands? Also I KNOW you remember the Vigs who busted us up on the mountain road that one time. I also am now blind in Right eye. left eye is well OK I suppose. Glad you are in shape. You knew Greg died on my place in Hawaii back in 78. Yeah I remember LB but that is also a shame too. Hey Dara/Daisy Mae is around she is in MO. Can't remember if you went down to Las Vegas NM before you went to Height? Last time I saw you I think was at upper Cole on a stopover on my way back up to Orygun.
OH YEAH remember JD. he lives in Orygun now and has been playing music and Stinkn Lincoln is playing music in NYC!!! WOW memories of Platte Valley and Colt 45! I talked to Cracker Jack a couple years ago and Candyman too but it has been a while. Not to many STP here. spill a taste for all who went before us! EVEN if it is just water!

Hey yuh'al,
It's been awhile since I've suigned in. I hope everybody is surviving with all the changes going on in our universe. I've relocated from Florida to New York. Right now I'm staying with Nabor until I get my own place. I'm the waterboy and all 'round handyman at Nabor and Threasa's frlower garden bus. Nabor just got out of the hospital. He went fishing and cut his hand on a rock in the river caught some kinda weird fish bacteria, ande came close to losing his arm, blood poisoning. The hospital caught the spread just in time.

For those of you who may have been wondering about the early days. There is a chaper on The Good Earth in David Talbot's book on San Franciscob history including the hippie days: Chapter 17. I thoughjt it caught the essence of those days--- the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I recently sent a collection of poems, short stories, and essays to Scorpio Kenny in connection with the all our writings he has been collecting. In conjunction with that effort I've been asked to write a synopsis of those early days in the development of the Good Earth concept.

I've been reading a book by Eckhart Tolle, 'A New Earth: Awaking To Your Life's purpose. Some of you may already be "hip" to him. His cultural, religious summations atin the first couple of chapters run along the same line of thinking that went into the development of the connection to the Church of the Good Earth Development not to be considered in opposition to other
tennets'. The book reminded mer of books we were reading in the 50's &
60's' --- A Seperate Reality; the Yaquie Way of Knowledge' by Carlos Castaneda---'The Way of Zen,' Allen Watts--- 'Good Is Dead,' Bishop Roberson--- 'The Ground of Being.' Paul Tillic, and "Stranger In A Strange Land,' Robert Heinlein, just to relate some of the thinking that was going on in those early days.

Others who also have a view of those early days; it would be great to read their perceptions. Not only them, but any of your perceptions when you considered yourself as an active conscieiousness within the concept to compare notes on perception and present conceptions.

Regarding gov. and politics you might want to investigate social theroy regarding Oligarcy and The Iron Fist of Oligarcy.

At 73 my claim to having lasted this long is my thirst for knowledge and a search for conccious awaking. One thing I know is "This too shall pass."
Love God and Stay High.;

 

Spacey;

It's great having you back and active. Hopoefully we've all gotten rid of the baggage that seperated us and flung us here and there and everywhere. I am hoping that, by now, I and, all of us, have found out that what we need is different from what we want and that we all pretty much all need the same things. Together, I believe, it is easier to achieve our needs and goals. The time is now to reunite into a rejuvinated family and achieve some of the political and civil goals we dreamed of. Hopefullly we have learned to sublimate our egos to the achievement of our shared goals.

I hope Nabor is recovering well. Every morning, ever since I heard he fell ill, I've been saying Hebrew healing prayers for him. I look foward to seeing both of you soon.

If I may add to the list of writings of that time along with "Stranger in a Strange Land" many of us read and took to heart the wisdom of J.R.R.Tolkien as expressed in the Hobbit Trilogy. (a little known source of certain names among us Shhhh) Among many '69s circles these two tomes were of a near biblical nature. Grok?

 

KEEP IN MIND THAT HEINLEIN, LIKE RAND, WAS A FASCIST.

your loving brother ZEV

 

He was also a 'dirty ole man' as I have it the very good opinion of one of our sisters. I think I still like his idea of the "fair witness".

 

Glad that Nabor is better (was it cellulitice)? A red line of fire and pain running from the cut up his arm on its way to his heart?? VERY Happy it has been controlled as that he is indeed on the rebound. That shit sucks and yes will make you septic!. Damn still fighting the microbs!!

Looks like I am going to be under as I must now go in and get neck surgury. I thought that it would be found to be something else but it is not. Three Docs agree so have asked to get me in asap as this time they will go in from the front of my throat and work on C 2-3-4 from there. No big deal just need to get er done before I cause any permanant spinal cord damage. Then in Neck brace for months with a bone stimulator for daily use.

I was hoping not to have to go this route but it was probaly inevitable as I could not control the narrowing of the spinal colum. I will hopefully get in asap and begin to heal as I will also best this one too! The mind is all powerful and I will GROK HEALING and bone repair!!

As for the must reading...I feel we are/may be at a time where the wheel is in fact turning full circle and "A Canticle for Leibowitz" is where I fear we may actualy be heading . If so we will make it but it will be another testing time for all.

Peace and love M2 and H if you see this I will e-mail.
