Day Tripper #?

La la la….dum dee dum….who cares?

Listening to: https://www.youtube.com/

watch?v=f2gyusjxBcY….live stream of 

the Obama/Clinton takedown…la la la…

as the world turns…the states go 

bankrupt…light-awareness-truth….less

of these means going into the dark age…

It ain’t brain science, it’s common sense…

“common sense is not common 

knowledge”…it’s going to take a lot more

than grease to stop the squeaking…what

a luxury…front seat in the arena watching

the gladiators of the Western World try

to take each other down…pay me now, or,

pay me later…Blake, Rimbaud, Kerouac…

derangement of the senses to pulverize

concrete mind….”the eccentric is the 

basis of design.” Wallace Stevens…(and 

he sold insurance)…yes, the LSD is front

and center…no additives…birthday suit of

psychedelia…now what? …nothing to it

but to keep going…why psychedelics? 

Isn’t life confusing enough?…apparently

not…and, after all, who’s keeping track?

Sure, we have to get from point A. To

point B., but most do that without thinking. 

So, the real question is do we have control

of our own minds? What other question 

could be so important? Taking things  for

granted, which we all do, is the opposite

of being in control. And most people think

that if they’re just going along, and there

don’t seem to be many problems, that 

everything is OK. Ignorance is bliss, from

that point of view. But, of course, it misses

the point.

I could sit, silent, like the stoned Mason I am,

but I can’t seem to shut myself up, no matter 

what people think they know. “To know is

to get lost” Nanao Sakaki. “Filthy Theatre”…

Joel Gersman, exposing the Catholic 

Church’s pedophilia before it became 

fashionable to do so. Fashionable to 

expose pedophilia? Sounds strange, 

doesn’t it? Common sense would say…  

but common sense is not common 

knowledge, as we now know. If you don’t 

trust in your own intelligence, you’re

screwed from the git-go, and might wind

up in Gitmo!! Stranger things have

happened, and will continue in the 

out-of-balance world

we inhabit.

So, why? I don’t know! So, I let it go….

it seems to take care of itself naturally. As a 

character of a play I was in said: “Make a 

decision…just make it! Things will turn out 

more or less the same anyway.” (Sire de

Beaudricort in Anouille’s “The Lark”).

And so it goes, as Vonnegut was wont to 

say. Holocaust? Armageddon? Paradise?

…and so it goes. They say Feb. 25 new 

date for the end of the world. I wish they’d

make up their minds…on the other hand,

they only have to be right once.

The presence of the Lord. Shambhalians 

call it “Authentic Presence”. More than 

charisma, or, more accurately, charisma

Is the outer manifestation of authentic 

presence. Who had it? Gandhi, King,

Kennedys, Mohammed Ali…the truth 

sticks out ’til it can no longer be 

conveniently ignored. These people,

and Elvis and others, were constantly 

giving us a clue as to how life could be

experienced completely, without hesitation,

with critical thinking and common sense

as the basis of joy: Be precise, see clearly, 

know what is. In Buddhism, these are 

called the three kinds of confidence. 

That’s why soldiers follow the best leaders.

Where were we? Ah, yes, as I was 

about to say, who said that?
