About Me

My Photo
I am a mystic madman, a wandering wildman, scholar of esoterica, dilettante sadhu, dready-headed hippie (only have a few jata on the back of my head right now, though more be forming), gentle yogi, fierce foe of falsity. I was a preacher, but I renounced that. I was married, but she renounced me. I was a grad student at one of the top universities in the world on my way to becoming a professor, but I realized they taught lies there too. I am protector of souls, lover of mountains, smoker of herb, fond of hot springs, oceans and lakes and rivers and rain and sunshine, devotee of Devi.

Life is wild when the mythic becomes your everyday, when the people you meet on the bus or encounter in line at the coffeehouse or DMV are revealed as embodiments of Gods and Goddesses and of brahman Universal Divine, each one, as is your true Self shown to be . . .

ॐ (AUM) is intonation of Trimurti,  Vishnu-Siva-Brahma and is the origin of the number 3 . . . get it?!?!

Thunder and lighting answering my thoughts, breeze responds to my mind's meanderings, people I encounter day to day sometimes even in lockstep (if with lotsa slack and play) with my rhythms and rhyme and in time with the locomotion of my bones, if not taken for granted at least a given in my experiencings these days. Even as people have sometimes replaced "he knows" and "he's right" as I pass by chanting some Sanskrit ditty with "he's God" clearly enough overheard, I scarce take notice more than if they'd said "dirty hippy" or the chide (in jest or no) "get a job" as I'm walkin' down the sidewalk mindin' my own . . . Whatever!! Namaste!!

Growin' stronger after a time of trials and troubles, subtle psycho psychic assaults and interdimensional wranglings.  Recognizing transcendant potencies through/despite and because of these maladies, perhaps induced metamorphosis,induced for recognizing (perhaps inversely) potentialities and forcing me in an accelerated training period to get on to the next step in inevitable progression towards some sorta Full-On Bad-Ass Self-Realization, Avatar of . . .

Inversion is an interesting if exceedingly hazardous mode of transformation . . . zav zav zreyas zav . . . yet like how opposite charges are the power of electricity, thus the use of purported or assumed opposition can be a tool for transformation.  A friend and former lover once told me she thought it in some sense necessary to hate someone in order to truly love them.  Though I might disagree at least in some applications, passion's fire . . . tejas tapasia tejas . . . 'tis not unlike the purifying fire of austerities, piercings and literal fire applied, sufferings quite by intention designed to transform devotee into what transcendant being she or he is truly.  Apply pain and find bliss?!  Not my prefered mode, though in some times 'tis what's required to instigate the Divine Fire within' to ignite, to goad the God or Goddess within' to surface through one's visage and form.  Indeed at one's best, refined and tuned to the Eternal Divine tune, AUM, each is indeed an Avatar potential.  Though has mostly been observed most remain in some degree of dormancy in terms of that potential and potent transcendant possibility extant in each, those paths to same are varied and might arise in the most surprising ways.  Applying fire, tapasia of the sadhu, Sun Dance sufferings, and life experience trials and torments are often the means and mode best suited to bring forth the Divine and Transcendant already present as seed of Atman, at least regarding certain facets, to bring forth the Fierce to face and destroy (else likewise transform) what demons and ills challenge the individual.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no boot-camp seargent sadistic sort.  My mode is compassion and empathetic transformations--most times.  Ain't so fond of the need to manifest that aspect of my "archetypal Self" that is called Hara . . . much prefer Shankara style playful, partyin' and through all the drunken haze managin' to convey and incite transcendant righteousness and Divine fervor.  Certainly my preference to teach through laughter, to learn through gentle practice and light-hearted lila, yet I do recognize that in a world not yet perfected wherein are ills and demons needing dealt with, the Fierce Fightin' S.O.B. gotsa have room to do His stuff through my doins.  Don't seem every ill or enemy can be healed or turned by honey and sugar,nor even can every Divine characteristic be brought forth by subdued or quiet devotions.







Least I am feelin' my strength return and am most inclined to see the sufferings I've seen as means to incite growth, Lalitha's cattleprod applied to goad me further . . . Moooo--ouch!!!!
