Somewhere, over the rainbow, China, there’s a world where birds sing into every night, flowers bloom across every land, each problem has 10,000 solutions, and people live lives only to love and be loved…
Just like under the rainbow.
Ain’t life grand?

One of the coolest things about time and space, China, is that it’s impossible to kid oneself indefinitely.

The Perseids meteor shower happens every year, this year it happened July 23 – August 24 with the peak occurring on August 12th. This is a video of the peak in Joshua Tree park. It is awesome in the literal meaning of the word.

What would you think about today, China, if you knew those very thoughts would command leagues in the unseen?
And what would you say today, if you knew each word you chose would send great waves into motion?
And, China, what would you do today, if you knew I’d glean from the slightest of your moves, whether or not you believed in life’s magic, so that I could prove you right?
No, no, you don’t have to answer! We’ll just wait and see…
Holding our breath,

I deleted bookmarks, rss feeds, alerts and any other half-arsed way of keeping tabs on someone who is no good.
Notice I didn’t say “no good for me” or something like that. I said “no good.” And it takes me a lot to get to that point. I think just about everyone in this world is a lost spark of Divinity trying to find its way back home. I think almost everyone is redeemable. I have never believed that anyone could truly be reprobate.
But this one changed my mind on that. I know this person is no good for me. I have months and months of evidence to support that theory. But now, I’ve seen their history and their current actions and realize that this person has no substance save for the illusion and lies they spin to get good-natured people to support their lives.
Still, every so often something would pop up and I’d learn a little tid bit of what they were up to. Inside I held in reserve an irrational hope that they would some day be bonked on the head by an enlightenment that would bind their consciousness to their action and they would become good- natured as well.
…and maybe that will happen.
But not on my watch. I have currently set marques out their to make sure that this person can in no way interfere with me or my families serenity, peace, ambition or dedication to service. Let them be. Pray that they will be revealed in quick turn so they cannot siphon off resources and hard-earned efforts of other compassionate people.
And in the two weeks since I’ve thrown up the “denial-of-service” to all the negative BS in my life I have to say it’s been quite peaceful.
And joyous.
And it was a good move.

Of course, China, the most deceptive of all illusions is very likely space.
You know, that thing between “here” and “there” that would have you see yourself alone, instead of as the bridge between them. That medium between you and the rest of the world that disguises your role in creating it. You know, that veil through which the physical senses must explore your chiseled secrets.
See? Aliens are the least of your worries…

Yes, China, it’s true. There are so many things you don’t know about. Things, quite frankly, that you can’t know. About the magic, the unseen, and the miraculous logistics that can so swiftly change a life. Yes, it would be enough to daunt even the hardiest of souls.
But, then again, China, one needn’t learn the mysteries of the wind, to sail effortlessly around the world, either.
Actually, you got a pretty good deal.
Land ho,

So much love, blazing insights, a wild imagination, and opposable thumbs… China, do you know what this means?!
You’re nearing the zenith of your evolutionary curve!
Don’t delay!! This is the time to invite fate, tempt passion, and expect miracles by dreaming big and taking nonstop action!!
All things are indeed looking possible and you alone decide how your tomorrows will unfold.
My how you have grown,

Young souls learn to accept responsibility for their actions. Mature souls learn to accept responsibility for their thoughts. And old souls, China, learn to accept responsibility for their happiness.

This is my new favorite artist/mage; Monsiure Panos Tsagaris.
He has inspired me in ways words cannot describe in both worlds; mundane and magick.
I know I can brave the darkness. I know I can obtain the light.
Now, I share that sentiment with you.
Hard choices. Eyes down. One foot in front of the other. Left foot. Right food. Breathe. That is how we get where we are going.
Sometimes there are humans next to us. Sometimes there are not. But we. are. never. never. never alone.
Never ever.

Ibn al-Husayn replied:
– There was once a sheik in Damascus called Abu Musa al-Qumasi. Everyone honored him for his great wisdom, but no one knew whether he was a good man.
“One afternoon, a construction fault caused the house where the sheik lived with his wife, to collapse. The desperate neighbors began to dig the ruins; eventually, they managed to locate the sheik’s wife.
“She said: “Don’t worry about me. First save my husband, who was sitting somewhere over there.”
“The neighbors removed the rubble from the area she indicated, and found the sheik. He said: “Don’t worry about me. First save my wife, who was lying somewhere over there.”
“When someone acts as this couple did, she/he is purifying the whole world.”

But in truth, they’re never little. We just tell ourselves that to rationalize and justify doing what we want to do instead of what we know we should do.
In truth, it is those little things carefully packaged up and presented as free-will that may actually be those invisible lines in the sand.
that is how this free-will thing works.
Verily, it is good that there is some generous leeway built into the system, which benefits we arrogant talking monkeys. We’re thick in the head sometimes, f’shizzle. But there are things, usually painted with a myriad of invisible fluorescent colors and banners and signs and other blinking icons that say “abandon hope, all who enter past this point. Make sure you are 48″ or taller (wearing shoes) and please keep your hands and other dangle-y extremities inside the car at all times. “

I call those “reprobate points“. They are the points that if you cross, you don’t get to go back and pass Go or collect $200 or such things. If you pass a reprobate point, you’re fucked. God turns his back on you and no amount of pleading or praying or wailing and gnashing of teeth will ever get you back into anything resembling grace. From then on, you are outside any protections, the training wheels are off and the stings of a thousand locust (or is it scorpions?) will forever follow you wherever you wander.
Guess what…I think you just passed one. Welcome to Hell. I offer you no protection here. Go get’em boys.

To young souls, China, there are good folks and bad folks.
To mature souls there are only good folks, though some do bad things.
And old souls, only see themselves.
I see you,

Have you ever stopped to consider, China, that due to your eternal nature, you, and everyone else, live forever?
Of course you have.
And therefore, have you realized that in the truest sense, everyone beats cancer, aids, and starvation?
Un-hun, un-hun…
And you totally get that between now and “infinity,” you will meet, and fall deeply in love with everyone, and they with you?
Let’s not wait…

You’re not in time and space to graduate into higher realms of existence, China; you’re here because long, long ago, you already did. And back then you could think of no celebration greater than being with good friends, falling in love, on cool adventures, facing great challenges, and possessing total amnesia… lest it all seem too easy.
Well done. Very well done.

Bryan Stauffer and Chinagrrl - 1993 tree festival - Akron OH
A friend of mine passed away this month. From what I was told it was “last week” but no one knows an exact date. Bryan and I used to “date” or whatever passed for it in the early 1990′s when we both attended the University of Akron. From 1998 until about 2007 I heard from him only infrequently but I knew we both worked in Technology and had some interesting conversations regarding the nature of the IT Corporate Beast.
In the past few years, however, I heard from him much more often. He’s even one of the few people that have visited the House-of-Chaos in its current incarnation. He was doing some new music endeavors and he used me to bounce some of his newer tracks off and he picked my brain regarding some of the creative for the projects; costuming, lighting setups, interaction design of performer/audience. He wanted me to become more involved with some of those ideas, but there were elements in Bryan’s current life that I was unable to surround myself.
We discussed some of those choices at length and one thing I told him, that I really wanted him to “get” was that “no rash decisions should be made in the aftereffects” of those things. Forgive me for being like a sphinx here, but I’m journaling mostly for my own benefit here and it’s not my interest to disparage or exploit the dead. Bryan was dabbling in things that I knew, from intimate personal firsthand experience, to be harmful and would pull him away from those relationships he most yearned for, and the things that gave him beauty and satisfaction in life.
I also knew that he wouldn’t stop those things until he was done with them. Knowing the “backside” of those things I implored for him not to give much credit to the “oh my god, things are awful and I can’t handle it” feelings that come with such dabbling.
Learning of his demise I can only thing that maybe he didn’t believe me, or that maybe it wasn’t enough.
Anyways, he’s gone now from our manifest world and I can only hope that his spirit will find the peace it yearned for wherever it is now. Hopefully his spirit finds itself in a Rotterdam goth club in 1992. He would like that.

With self-confidence, China, the world bows to greet you and coincidence becomes your partner.
And self-confidence comes from loving yourself.
And loving yourself comes from knowing that you are, still, exactly who I most want to be.
And so I am,

A long-time, fantastic friend of mine went with me to The Ommega Institute for an R&R weekend. I was beautiful. I ate simple, delicious food, met interesting, compassionnate people who also believe that kkindness matters. Animals were not afraid of humans and all around were signs of mindfulness and intention, like these rock cairnes.

Just got back from a weeekend at The Omega Institute, where I met incredible people who know kindness matters and mindful actions will change the world. I saw sparks of dream manifest in material and spiritual ways. My soul breathed and released the aches of my spine. I saw hope everywhere and my majick sparkled everywhere for all to see and no one tried to swat it away. Communed with fantastic friends and partners of The Path and food and furry forest creatures who have learned that humans aren’t reallly so bad…at least here they aren’t.
Nice.
