Yes, Zen Rock Painting is here, and it’s incredible! You will have the best craft experience of your life, absolutely guaranteed or double your money back — the class is free, the materials are free and the table space is free. It costs us about a dollar to give away one painted rock, and the result is well worth it.

What happens when someone is confronted with “Paint a Rock”?

It varies, depending on the internal and external dialogues and conditions. In short, the very prospect of the simple act of painting a rock is seen as an enormous ego-threat.

“What if my painted rock is ugly?” they worry. All the worst aspects of internalizing and projection come out at this moment.

If there’s a conflict between a couple or between adult and child, it will come out now. This is the time when all neuroses get trotted out to block the possible fun experience.

They are unworthy, and they know it — they’ve been taught all their lives that not only are they not artists, but that art is crap, and that all artists are degenerate drains on society.

I’m here to put that lie to the test. Continue reading →

Trump is dedicated to his own face. He has to be in the front of the news, just as he handles and maneuvers celebrities in crowds to demonstrate that he’s in charge, he’s directing everyone and everything, and everything revolves around him.

One thing you’ll note that is an outstanding feature: instead of creating diversions, like a politician such as super-sleazy McConnell would do, changing the subject, offering some glittering prize as long as it’s not on-subject, he goes nuts.

He is, in fact, exactly what he projected onto his victims — a nut-job. Actually, Trump is a nut-job and a half.

I like to be exact.

As Avatar of the Western Realm — which is a lousy job, but everybody’s gotta work for a living — I can’t, of course, directly interfere, nor would I intervene in something so petty as a local war or political upheaval.

Right. I can’t interfere. But I CAN suggest, and occasionally, I can point. This is one of those “I can point, but you’ll have to actually L@@K” moments. Continue reading →

Inner Peace, Harmony & Wisdom

Personal Spiritual Entrainment Class forming outside Cosmo Street Center, 1975.

Do you really, really want inner peace? How about total harmony of the higher and lower selves? What about wisdom, is that something you’d be interested in having when you make your next decision?

Meditation does not automatically lead to anything in particular. You can use a period of mediation to work out something or to merely connect and zone.

You want inner peace, happiness, sublime transcendence, intense livingness, connection with the All-One??? No problem, here’s how it’s done, but #1 observation you MUST see first is that it won’t typically just come around on the guitar by itself. You need to be playing a guitar for that to happen.

SELF-TRAINING — You are the only one who can really train yourself to be at peace with tranquility and harmony always at your hand.
UNDERSTANDING — Your coach will indicate the exercises necessary to develop the specific level of spiritual skill desired.
SPECIFIC SKILLS — Harmony and tranquility are slightly different and require very different exercises to get them to work together without interruption.

SPECIFIC SPIRITUAL SKILLS THAT CAN BE ENTRAINED: Continue reading →
