The deep freeze lifts away from Eugene, Oregon. Raindrops fall outside my window and melt away the layer of verglas that had settled on the surface of everything. Now I return to Escape Plans Unlimited…my mission far from accomplished.
Today I have for you a very short video of the neck technique I demonstrated a few [...] Read more »

Greetings all and everyone!
A few weeks ago, I went to Grass Valley, CA, to visit the Institute for the Development of the Harmonious Human Being, (IDHHB). While there, Lee and Glenn Perry of the Samadhi Tank Company made available their tank for my use. I was very excited to try it, and what you will [...] Read more »
A question arose from deep down among the iridescent deep-sea dwellers along the bottom volcanic layer of my unconscious.
The question goes like this:
“What qualities must I incorporate into my essence to make myself a true teacher?”
This led me to ask,
“What qualities have my various teachers shared in common with each other that gave me the [...] Read more »

Greetings my fellow creatures floating in space.
How does your day flow thus far?
Hmmm, it feels good to sculpt again in this space.
I decided not to let the opportunity to write on a 23 day pass me by.
Today, I will let myself do the talking, instead of the writing. Last Monday through Thursday was spent by [...] Read more »
Yesterday, She and I broke out the Just Because Club book again.
This time, we decided to head downtown to the heart of Eugene, OR for a dice walk. Without giving too much away, let’s just say it surprised both of us.

Way back on February 24th, I picked up my lover from the airport in Portland. We drove back into the city to eat at one of my favorite cafes.
The Vita, on 31st and Alberta NE, served me up a deliciously dense slice of key lime cheesecake. We talked about heading back to Eugene for the [...] Read more »
This post arrives as a tiny bit of proof of the following hypothesis:
Hypothesis: Attaching myself to something greater than myself may lead to more focused attention, more work accomplished, and more energy with which to work.
I have found it difficult to make a post every single day.
That all changes today.

First, a wonderful song in the flavor of Gurdjieff. It’s a bit scratchy, but check out the lyrics, and pretend you are listening to an olde record. Or, better yet, realize the static as outer space sunspot radiation, full of communication…….
I had never even heard of Parker Dickson until today, when, on my second Remote [...] Read more »

My Oxford American Dictionary defines bardo as:

I just finished watching a Swedish film called Storm.
I watched the film after walking to the library and reading every last word in every book on three shelves of books. I had planned on typing up the list here for your reading pleasure. No. I will share some interesting bits and pieces of what arose, [...] Read more »

Hey folks. How has your day gone for you thus far?
A blanket of snow descends upon both of my old hometowns of Eugene, OR, and Minneapolis, MN.
Here in Southern California, the rains and winds have pounded the windows and thrashed the palm fronds for most of the day thus far.
In tribute to the beautiful and [...] Read more »
Greetings my fellow existential prisoners and wanna-be escapees!
Tonight, I have a special brain-blossoming treat for you!
This rapid-fire brain-assault on the forces of evil lurking in the dark corners of your brain appeared by random synchronicity in the Sci-Tech section of a well-known conservative newspaper, the North County Times, of North San Diego County, California.
Shhhhhh! Don’t [...] Read more »

That’s right! Our crack team of secret agents caught the bad guys red handed…
(Thanks to http://www.flamingcoconutstudios.com/Site/bad_guys.html for the image…)
They were found in a dark alley in the back of your mind, injecting your brains with “I Love America” serum, as well as a side-dish of “Keep doing what you hate.”
Don’t worry, the Escape Plans Unlimited [...] Read more »
Today, I could not resist digging back into my handy-dandy brain-expansion kit, the Just Because Club:
From this text, I have plucked many experiments. Today, the one I plucked suggested that I take a walk downtown, and whenever I approach an intersection, to roll a 6-sided-die. (you know, the square ones?)

2= take [...] Read more »
