Making Spiritual Work Pay

Sounds funny, right? But the government here and in most places around the world are not interested in subsidizing the spiritual lives of those renunciates who reject all material things including making a livelihood. There are some circumstances which allow individuals to retire from the world and engage fully and completely in spiritual activities. Those circumstances generally involve a lot of money raised by others to allow this to happen. The only way to make your way anymore is to somehow make your spiritual work pay off both in spirit and by putting food on the table, roof over head. Sure, you can be a bum, but there’s an honest “Hobo” way to do it — chop wood, carry water. I’ll be talking about this at the ICW.

I wrote a photo book a number of years ago — it didn’t get published and it’s still in my hard-drive, waiting for someone to come along and take responsibility for its production, copyright issue handling, publicity and release. It contains an “as told to” biography of Harry and my personal memories of photo shoots we did from 1967 all the way to 1993.

The video is a demo of a remarkable piece of playable sculpture. I propose to buy them unpainted and paint, carve, wood-burn and decorate with a variety of beads, feathers and textiles, and then sell on the open market.

Herein is the kind of data I try to give you every day in my blogs — to save you time, energy, money and most of all, dead ends. It’s not at all tricky to find good didges, but selecting one with which to ACTUALLY BOND is like choosing a mate, mate.

What should you be looking for in a didge, especially if you know nothing about them but want one anyway??? Continue reading for more info…
