What Will It take For The Country To Really Change

I have had quite few conversations with my friends in regards to what it will take to bring about serious change in this country. I feel that the vast majority of Americans are fighting for the nicest room on the Titanic and nobody wants to address the issue of the large hole in the ship. We have the capability to fix the hole but instead we spend our energy in extreme exercises of futility and proclaim that we have that right as Americans. Recently I was informed that many of our honey bees have been dying and I feel this should be a huge red flag and one of the biggest headlines. Einstein said that once the bees go we as species will go shortly afterwards.

I am in San Francisco pondering honey bees becoming extinct and the strain the strain that a huge earthquake would have on our country. We can't keep going the way we are going, but very few people are willing to make the lifestyle changes that are needed to bring us back into balance with nature. We really need to increase hemp production and start using hemp for paper so that we can conserve our trees. We need to make some large changes across the board and they need to be made right now.

All of us must be the change in our own lives and the nation will soon follow. We must wake up from our rampant consuming slumber so that we can see the amazing beauty that nature contains and that we all can appreciate by just being still in our mind.

My Campaing Wizards

We are focused on major change in this world and I really do want peace, but I have been taking the pulse of this country based on its purchases. Lose weight, Great Sex, Be happy and fall asleep at night. These are the keys to the campaign trail and then we can focus on the love and stillness of mind and all the things that I truly hold dear. We need to bridge the gap between the people who vote and the people that are in this country right now. 180,00,000 people did not vote in the last election. We are going to give them what they want like Lenin in Russia. We will offer the new version of peace, bread, and land. I think this was the campaign that led to a successful revolution and we will win and Karl Rove will be scratching his head because he galvanized the Christian right. We will do the same thing with the apathetic. I have come to light a small fire under 180,000,000. Now is the time and we are the people to shake it up. You want to be entertained America? I've got what you've been looking for my friends.

I want to talk About Ad that has inspired me

It is in the Castro section of San Fran and has a bunch of buff guys and it says "Hot Sex Without Crystal Hell YEah". How bad must the Meth problem be or why don't we have more ads like this one. How about "Lose weight without Cocaine Hell Yeah" or maybe "Get really blissed out without excasty Hell yeah." There is a great honesty about this campaign that other campaigns don't have. I am still wondering who said yeah this is the way we should go in our anti meth campaign. We have to look at the reasons people are doing certain drugs and explain that we can achieve that same outcome without using substances. It is a very wonderful idea even if most anti-drug campaigns are based upon the 80's idea of Nancy Regan saying "Just Say No". I have to be honest I have never done drugs, but Nancy made me want to consider trying it. I really imagine somewhere in white suburban neighborhoods at least one less line of coke was snorted because of these ads involving Nancy.

In the Presidential Campaign we are going to run alot of honest ads. We are going to be everyone's favorite punchline and be proud of it. We need to be innovative and bold and take plenty of chances. We may be the shadow of the dark horse in this race, but we are going straight to the top like a used condom in a jacuzzi. "Hot Sex in a jacuzzi without drinking Hell Yeah". Ultimately America wants to be happier, thinner, with a better sex life and be able to fall asleep at night. This consists of the majority of drugs that the pharmacy companies sell to Americans that are rampant consumers. Our Presidential Campaign will offer all of this to pull people in and though these are not my greater goals by any stretch of the imagination it is certainly a starting point to draw interest to campaign that is highly under publicized at this present moment.

The benefit of being a mirror

I recently had a conversation with a young college student who goes to UCLA and I am not saying this to put down UCLA it just happened to be where she went to school. I asked her what she really wanted out of life and she said "To be Rich". I then asked her why and she replied "So I can have as many Channel Pursues as I want". She then asked me the same question "I said to find unconditional love" (typical spiritual healer hippie response). She then said that she was shallow and that I was so deep and then in some way started to feel bad about being shallow. I did not judge her, but she began to judge herself by being forced to think about things that she chooses not to think about. Yet, the girl was amazingly sweet despite everything she said and is merely a product of the world around her. If she grew up in certain other culture she might have said "To have a big flock of sheep" and maybe so that she could then give them to her future children.

All of us need to realize what truly matters to us and then we will be help other people to do the same. It does not mean they will change immediately, but eventually a change will take place. We all have to act as mirrors to society. It is not about lecturing, but merely being a mirror in which your very presence forces people to reconsider things that they have taken for granted. Last night for at least one girl I was able to act as a mirror.

Taking Back Our Own Personal Power

We want to speak up but we hold back and we need to start letting go and let go in a gentle manner, but we need to let other people know how we really feel especially the people that are supposedly in charge of our best interests. We have handed over all of our power and now is the time to find our voice and our individual power. We must break through our judgments of each other and learn to see each other as the same. All of us are a part of the solution. All of us need to find the change within ourselves. We can't expect the revolution to happen externally if it does not happen internally. we need to find change within our own being.

All of us only have a small semblance of what we are capable of doing. We have truly amazing gifts and we need to collectively start realizing our gifts and that will bring about a paradigm shift and help to restore a balance that we need to find with our ourselves and our environment. We all must take responsibility for our own personal power and realize our true voice that exists inside of our core being.

We must keep our hearts open and do our best to clear our minds of the junk that the culture keeps spoon feeding us. We need to break from the culture so that we can gain more of sense of who we really are and how we can bring about a better future.

WHAT'S GOING ON Right Now

I am slightly off of UCLA's campus chilling a Coop. I had a connection here to a wonderful girl named Laura who I met thru I a great guy named Zack who I had met at the Sundance film festival. He saw me on campus and said "Slacker Prophet!". Seems that name is staring to catch on a bit. I stayed in Topanga a couple nights before and that place is so beautiful. I stayed with a great friend of mine from Jersey who moved out to LA as I was heading towards India. I have been running into quite a few people that I met at Coachella or had merely seen me there and decided that they had to talk to me once they saw me on the campus of UCLA. I got a call from Smiley today. He is my VIP. Hey SUnny go to myspace and give him biblical quotes on his comment page on myspace or respond to his poetry on www.walkingenglish.blogspot.com

LA would be amazing if this place got some mass transit system. It is not a town made for a walking man. I got interviewed by a girl last night who was quitting her PHD in Freench Lit to do a documentary. She has never done any film in her life and decided she needed to take this leap. I was truly touched by this move. She wants to take a look at all the different views of Jesus and perople's perceptions. She was 28 but she could have passed for 18 easily.

An amazing girl that I have been dating from San Fran came down and visited me while she was seeing her sister in LA. We both crashed on the couch of Delta Sig. She has such an amazing sense of what really matters and she greatly inspires me. She told me that we are not meant to be with each other, but we still had more to learn from each other. She hit the nail on the head and I was really moved by her realization. Truth is such a wonderful thing. All of us are trying to find a truth that helps to experience peace and understand what we really desire.

My parents also happen to be in LA right now. Alot of my world is convening right here in LA for the moment, but I look forward to getting back to San Fran. I must continue to ride this adventure out til it has run its course. Just like surfing a wave. I miss so many of you guys and I want to vist all of you guys at once. Crazy amounts of love to NYC and Austin. Both of these places have been greatly in my thoughts and I will make back to both in the near future.

The presidential campaign continues to expand and my VP keeps coming up with clever ideas. Bonnaroo will be a place that changes everything for quite a few of my friends. There will be heaps and heaps of miracle healings and that will help out any aspiring president. Papa Neutrino is spreading the word on his radio interviews and things keep moving forward because backwards isn't a option.

THe NAKED MILE WILL COME BACK TO ANN ARBOR. MARK MY WORDS THE ADMINSTRATION AND THE COPS BE DAMMED (DAMMED IN A LOVING WAY) IT WILL BE NAKED TIME IN ANN ARBOR. THE CAMPAIGN WILL BE COMING BACK. THE WHITE HOUSE HERE WE COME. COUCHSURFING IS COMING BACK TO THE THE WHITE HOUSE AND IT WILL BECOME OUR HOUSE. VIVA LA CONCH VIVA LA CONCH.

Don't Call It A Comeback

Some of you might think that the presidential campaign is some sort of joke and that I am not actually serious about this endeavor. You would be very wrong. As we speak the campaign is starting to head into 2nd gear. I am not sure what the heck that means but I know firmly that we are heading into 2nd gear and there is no reason to have any fear because me and amazing crew of merry pranksters are very near. We are pulling out all the stops. We will soon be rasing funds for a small fleet of vegetable oil buses and A-team of very unique people from many different walks of life. It happens one person at a time and many different things are coming together. Just to let you all know Papa Neutrino has agreed to be secretary of transportation. Some of you know this man and others of you don't, but he is most famous for building a raft out of scrap parts and going across the Atlantic ocean. The man has will power and alot of courage to say the least. He told me that this campaign must happen. This is not a man to be argued with in any respect. If he says it must happen then indeed it must happen.

All of you are a part of this presidential race. 120 million people voted in the last white house race give or take a few million. Our current population is 300 million I want to tap into the 180 million people who did not vote. I want to show America that in this age even if you don't have much money you to can run for President of the United States. Lets help to put the word "servant" back into public servant. I would like to thank everyone for their support so far on the early part of the campaign trail. I would also like to thank everyone who told even just one person about this idea. There is a tipping point and we are rapidly reaching that point. Never doubt the power of just one voice to help change everything in the blink of an eye. A cover of Rolling Stone magazine will be just one of the markers that this campaign will reach. You can count on it my friends. The people will be heard and politics will forever be changed.

Looking at My Fears

Sometimes I fear that I am all wrong and sometimes I fear that I am mostly right and neither is completely true and yet both somehow make me a little nervous. We are all part of something that is much larger then any of us and we lose sight of the bigger picture. We become swallowed up entirely by our small dramas that mean nothing. Spending time in India help to put struggle into perspective. I have no problems and I never have had any problems. Only my mind thought there was a problem, but it always worked itself out. I am starting to realize how this is a waking dream and our thoughts are always shaping this dream that we live in.

New people enter our lives when we allow ourselves to make room for them. If we want something it will come our way, but when it does come let in and don't eye it suspiciously. I always get just what I needed and I as I want less the more I find myself receiving. We can't imagine or understand how we touch people's lives. We just have to allow ourselves to be present in this moment and offer our heart to other people and they will pass that on to others.

People can dislike or loathe George Bush and his group, but if people would refuse to pick up their weapons then they would have no power. By hating him we give him power and we focus too much of our energy on it and it drains us of our creative ability. I don't like what he does, but instead I focus on being the best person I can be at every moment and focusing on the things that matter to me. May I continue to pass on as many blessings as possible.

All of IT is Happening Now

I am not sure what the hell I mean by this statement I just know it to be true. I can feel alot of things swirling around me and I've made peace with alot of things that used to make me more nervous and now I have a deep calm about. Truthfully part of mind is uncomfortable with how at peace I am with alot of things, but I am learning to accept this as well and just keep being. All of us have a natural disposition and mine has usually been to work too hard and make things much more challenging then they need to be. When I used to train hard I would usually cause myself physical injury by not giving myself enough rest and relaxation. Striving is a wonderful thing, but you also have to surrender a bit as well and I had a really hard time with surrendering.

Age and experience has taught me this lesson time and time again and that the universe has its own time schedule and to fully enjoy and immerse myself in the moment that I am in right now. I might not be granted another one and appreciate the peace that I am having right now. I am listening to the sounds of recording whales and dolphins as I write this to you. They really do make an amazing music and it stirs up a beautiful feeling of solitude. I imagine myself in the middle of the pacific ocean on a raft with Papa Neutrino. The ocean is truly amazing and we are part of that amazing ocean.

I am coming back to NYC and so much is up in the air and I am just going to feel my way thru carefully and slowly and listen to the guidance that I receive. We all end up exactly where we are supposed to be and the internal work that we do puts us on the right situation. These are the days of miracles is a thought that keeps bouncing around in my head. What if .............? I keep thinking what it is that might be in store for me and the world I live in. I feel a quiet right now before the storm and when the storm hits I will be still be internally feeling the same quiet. COuld it be an earthquake, a miracle, another war, a terrorist attack,or all of the above. It could be everything and anything, but I feel something and I know that it is written on the wall. I just can't seem to get close enough to read it.

Everyone take care and I'll see you all soon.

"Hot Sex Without Crystal, Hell Yeah!"

In case you are wondering what the heck this is about I found a giant advertisement in the Castro district of San Fran. I was laughing hysterically, but it also made my mind think how bad is the crystal Meth problem? It must be one of the hugest epedemics since crack hit the scene, but maybe worse. Imagine driving thru the suburbs or anywhere and seeing a billboard that reads "Hot sex without Cocaine, Hell Yeah", or "Hot Sex Without Viagra, Hell Yeah". We could discuss what this means for a long time, but suffice to say I figure some of you would get a laugh from the ad at the very least. At first I thought the ad was talking about crystals, but I soon realized they meant crystal Meth. Still someone somewhere must have thought the same thing.

In other news I love San Fran and I would like to mention an Oscar Wilde quote "Its and odd thing they say but everyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco". I have become one of those people. In other news yesterday was the celebration of the first man launched into Space and I celebrated it the only way possible other then going into space myself I did the next best thing. I went to a NASA rave party outside of Santa Cruz. I fell asleep in some pillows and my buddy Jordan could not find me, but I found a giant bus and hopped a ride back. I will be back in NYC April 18th for 8 days.

Missing the Bigger Picture

I always find that most of the time we are missing the bigger picture and thinking that we have figured out the bigger picture. Once we truly realize the bigger picture there is no more drama in our lives period. We have a greater understanding of the small role we play in life and there many other things going on that we are not aware of it. There are always many unseen forces at work in any give situation. Things that seem wonderful or that seem awful are viewed differently once more information is received.

Even though I have brought more of my focus onto God/Love I still realize that my mind remains distracted on issues and events that don't actually feed my soul. I am letting go of these things , but all of this is an on going process and there are so many unseen forces and sometimes we can sense them , but most of the time we are oblivious. I do believe there is an inherent order in the universe and that are basic understanding of natural laws is not completely true. Quantum physics seems to be offering a scientific understanding that we may be missing something in our understanding of the world around us.

I look forward in the near future to have my brain waves measured while I am doing healing work and for the results upon the person I am working upon to also be measured. Our machines don't measure everything, but I feel confident that they measure enough to show that more study into this sort of thing is well merited. John of God is a great example of someone that science should be studying. Yet, many of them shun him or fear him and his work. Most scientists are missing the bigger picture. All of this is coming to a huge turning point because the fate of our species will reside in our ability to better understand ourselves and the imbalance inside of us plays out on our planet.

I am keeping greater focus on God/love throughout the day and if we all do that then we will be able to find more balance in our lives. In finding this balance we will be able to see the world around us more clearly. Each one of us should strive to better understand ourselves and that will help us to see the world more clearly and get closer to seeing the bigger picture of life.

Ghandi Fasted

Now that I am on day three I have been feeling some fascinating feelings running thru me and I realize how much I eat that my body is still try to catch up to and process. Your body has at least 3 days of back-up that it hasn't worked out of your system and some cases more. I was fairly amazed at this simple revelation. If I can break my attachment to food I will be in a higher state of bliss. I am always thinking about food and at times my appetite feels a bit like a bottomless pit. I always get nervous when people want to share food with me because I am inclined to eat all of it if I don't pay careful attention.

There is nothing wrong with a healthy appetite, but I found that I would use food as a distraction. Something to do when I did not know what else to do. Food can actually be quite a drug. American in particular has quite an odd relationship with food. In 3rd world countries nobody has eating disorders and trying to explain Bulimia is like trying to explain the idea of peace and mediation to the current white house regime.

All of the things in our life connect even though we can't see those connections. Beyond all these thoughts the idea of Ghandi Fasting to bring about peace somehow started to make alot more sense to me. I never fully understood the power of fasting. I do consume lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper which is pretty well known amongst people that do this sort of stuff. My goal is 5 days which would be good starting point. We live off more then just food and doing this brief fast has helped me to see that simple and wonderful fact thru my own personal experience. There is a power of mind and spirit that is realized when we start to break our attachment to food. As I kid I thought the idea of 24 hours was unbearable and there were moments on the first day where I got a little cranky and now I am starting to hit a groove. Cleanse the body, mind and soul.

Did I tell you guys that miss all of you and I want to have you all in the same place at one time or just discover how to become full omnipresent.

The Celibacy thing hit a minor bump

Okay I fell harder then Bill Clinton hanging out at the Miss America after party. I had actually been celibate for about 9 months and the moment I realized it and made it my focus I fell off, but I rather enjoyed the fall so to speak and she was really sweet. I met her in park. I feel like that seems to happen to me alot meeting women in parks. Maybe I should stay out of parks and then I won't falter anymore. On the bright side I am on my 3rd day of not eating and I am actually feeling really good. No food and great sex sounds like the new hot diet sweeping the nation.

I still want to have a girlfriend and settle into a bit more of a routine. I am coming back to NYC April 18th and will be Union Square Park in the early afternoon for anyone that wants to know. I also want to thank all the people out there who are helping people to overcome cancer thru diet, herbs, and energy work. I am still in San Francisco and really happy to be here. Just so you know the presidential campaign will be picking up quite soon. There are changes ahead my friends and we just have to keep following our bliss and occasionally enjoying our stumbles and fumbles. But the stumbles and fumbles make life great as long as we don't try to pretend they didn't happen. Lets just be honest without trying to be vicious. Honesty with sincere kindness.

When People Remind Us of Other PEople and Celibacy

This is a really interesting part of life that encourages people to project tremendous amounts of emotions and feelings on someone that they just met. Somehow this person is going to replace this other person that they remind you of. Maybe the other passed away or maybe you don't talk to them anymore, but this person came along and they totally remind you of your former love, friend, brother, sister, etc....

So many of our feelings are caused by the association we have with something and have very little to do with who this person is in your life. Last night I had an intensive conversation with a girl about how I didn't want to have sex unless I was in love and she told me that she has hard time having sex when emotions are involved. We found ourselves in a bit of a standstill. I figured that this whole "No Sex" made me intriguing and quite odd. I am sure that "no sex" could actually become a more ambitious guys way of getting laid. Fortunately or unfortunately I actually mean or at least in this present moment. I can honestly say I want a girlfriend it has been 4 years and I am reaching a point of not ever wanting my sex to be detached from emotions.

Emotions are actually my favorite part of sex and maybe I am an emotional junkie, but if they can't bring me to tears with their heart then I don't want it. Thru my mediation I have become more sensitive and of course I still yearn for sex at times, but I yearn for a different type of sex. Last night was an interesting reminder of that fact. On some funny level I found that my being unavailable to a girl who was emotionally not connected to her feelings greatly increased her interest in me.

Of course there is part of me that thinks I am merely insane and that I should push away this whole crazy idea of only having sex when I am in love. It says "Maybe you want fall in love"or "Maybe you won't fall in love with someone who loves you back". This of course might cause fear and then cause a person to settle. I have my goal and I am not settling and to increase my will power I have recently started a 5 day fast. It is a fast on many levels and it will help to stay more focused and be less distracted.

Sex with Pirates

I once had a really good friend of mine and she was very proud that the boy she was seeing called himself a pirate. She had such excitement in her voice about this fact. It did not last too long and in then end he slept with her cousin and spent her money on drugs. She was upset and I kept thinking he did exactly what I would expect a pirate to do. We love people for our certain reasons and then we end up resenting them for those same reasons.

Often I tell people don't get upset with your dog because it is not a cat or your cat because it is not a dog. All of us are perfect in our ways and we all play our own roles in this drama called life. Some of us are aware of our roles to some extent while other people don't have much of any awareness of what role they play. These days I have started to surrender more and more I become less upset by most things after coming back from India. It takes a place or a moment sometime to put things into pespective and India has given me that gift and I am utilizing quite strongly since I got back.

San Fran is My Mistress

Of course I miss NYC but San Fran is a mistress that is just so enticing these days and 40 degrees doesn't excite me all that much. When your hot your hot and right now NYC is not quite so hot or even luke warm. It seems a late spring and probably a Indian Summer or maybe an India summer and temperatures will feel like 115 degrees on a couple of days. It will be a brutal heat index. Groundhog Phil move over because crazy nomad Te'DeVan is making weather predictions.

I also have desire to start drinking women's breast milk. I desire that the woman have a vegan organic diet and I am willing to pay $5 for 4 ounces. I am so over the cow thing after my time in India. I want real women's breast milk and she is still vegan if she drinks her own breast milk or anyone else's breast milk for that matter. A Dharma Pad shall be made soon. I am planning on heading to Coachella and staying out west until the end of April.

In other news today was my first day walking around with my sign and it felt great. God how I missed carrying around my sign. Dependable and durable this might be the greatest sign I have ever had. Have fun today and break some rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Wanna Know about India Look Into My Eyes

I have quite a few friends that want me to tell them what India was like? I simply can't do it justice but India is certainly in my eyes. When I look in the mirror I can see that they are more Indian. This might sound crazy to some, but certainly not the most radical statement that I have ever made. The cultural shock and weather change have been minimal. I feel that I have alot of work to do and I am more focused on God and trusting. I can expect other people trust more if I won't do the same. I missed all of you guys and now most of us or only at most a mere 3,000 miles apart. We are basically right next door if you are on the east coast. My perspectives were greatly shifted on quite a few things and I just am more focused on making the highest choice that I can make in any given moment.

I am not the same man that left a year and half ago (month and half on linear time). I saw so many things and I am still taking it all in, but the Guru rules India. Whether false or real it is still the Guru who rules rather then the dollar. India is the land of heart and even the con men will have alot of heart or no heart. People in India are one extreme or another nobody seems to be sitting on the fence. I am waking up more to my higher calling and letting Ganesha to take care of the rest. I am making choices faster with less hesitation. I am waking up to life in a land that is reawakening as well. There is a middle path between East and West and it will be found and we will both be victorious as a result. This is a year to bring people together despite differences. I have come to understand more how we are the same. All of us searching for something that feels right something that feels good something that feels good in our heart.

Sending all my love to the people I met in India and look forward to seeing all of my friends spread out throughout the country. In the silence when looking into my eyes you will learn more about India then any of the words I write in my blog.
