I am sitting here Being my Mantra

OMmmmm

Hari Kreshna Hari Ramna Kreshna Kreshna Hari Hari

Dances around banging on a Tamborine with snakes round her head

Burns Sage

Kills a chicken

sprinkles Cyenne Pepper in the corners of the room

Burns a White Candle

Sit in full lotus and transends into the Universe

 

Wait. You put salt in the corners of the rooms to keep the ghost from coming in.
Cyenne Pepper. Is that just for flavor???? Or perhaps to make the mice sneeze. Fill me in on that one.

 

Brother Kenny,

Thank you for doing the responsible thing! (and who could accuse you, old hippie, of being responsible!) By the way, I have been reading the submissions and am inspired and will be gettin' 'er done soon. In fact; Heather got me an i-pad so I don't have to struggle with typing; this thing takes oral dictation!! Now, if I can just figure out how to work it.
Much love to all!

Here's a hippie tale from an old hippie. When I was five, in the Christmas of 1955, my dad and my grand dad had bought me this huge red tricycle. Here the rub. It came in a box. I was up early like any respectable 5-year-old boy on Christmas Day. In the biggest box first of course. Red, huge tires, big handlebars. WOW. Unbelievable! It was unassembled! The worst thing that you could do to a kid. To much eggnog the night before. Thinking back now, we were awake at 4:00 a.m.

So, in the dark, under the lit tree. We played with all of the other toys in the dark room. Years went bye and the sky started to get lighter outside. Our dog woke up and joined us kids. Eternities went by and then my mom and dad woke up. We had been waiting forever but they were going to perk the coffee first. If that wasn't the horror of horrors, we were told pointblank that mom was going to cook a big breakfast, first, and that we were all going to sit down together and have a nice family breakfast together. How nice. Merry Christmas.

After seventeen eternities, my grand father, who lived next door, came it. Great. More coffee time. Now, more eggnog. Hic.

Finally after all of our patients and whining and more patients, the time came! Now I have been looking at the paperwork for at least a half hour. I couldn't read but there were a lot of pictures like in the funny papers. You know. Like the first box with a picture and the next and the next. So I got it.

The Adults came over and got some wrenches and a screwdriver. Now, finally, the adult experts were on it. This should be built in no time. Or so we thought.

(Now, in retrospect, now that I think of this it seem even crazier or funnier. Take your pick. Why? Because both my dad and my grand dad worked for Lockheed in '55 as tool and die maker. You world think that they could read simple plans with pictures. Correct?) Anyway, they glanced at the instruction sheet for all of two seconds and threw it down. Now, it was ON. It was part verses part, what's first, does it go this way or is that direction? Who is right and who's wrong on each part. Finally they threw there hands in the air and gave up.

I screamed, "NO!"

They both froze and looked at me. I picked up the paper and pointed to the first square with the first picture and said, "You start here."

They focused. Then they looked at the five-year-old. Then they looked at the parts that they had been fighting with. Then they both looked at the paper and the parts. Then they knew that the five-year-old was right, and then they both looked at me.

So, they came back to the project. They put the first two pieces together. They each check the plans for what's next and asked me to verify. After the fifth part, they gained confidence that I read the next thing first and simply ask me what's next and which way, and the bike was together in no time.

Five-year-old.

I was always good with pictures and I have been an artist for ages. However, I have always read instructions and believe in them. My reading instructions has given me many high end tech careers. Many. Too many.

In life, I have discovered that most every person Hates reading instructions, and because of this little fact they will pay anyone who has already read the instructions to help them and/ or do it for them. People make a total living because the majority throw there hands up in the air and give up.

I have worked for Huge Corporations because people Hate instructions. Can you dig it?

What am I telling you? Learn to Love reading the instructions. The instructions are your friends. The instructions Love you. You Love the instructions. The instructions put you way ahead of the curve. The instructions can make you serene and at one with the universe. The instructions can help you to grow. The instructions can set you free. The instructions can aid you in learning new habits on your iPad that can become habits and that you will never have to look up ever again.

Please! Trust your friend with the knowledge (Actually the hard learned wisdom.). I don't have a brand new iPad so I really don't know. However, everything else in my life's experience tells me that you might consider running the tutorial. Maybe. And just maybe three time. It would put you way way ahead in the game. Good for you. Learning is way cool. Getting it, and truly understanding is even better.

When you know all of that, then grow more, try the "Help" menu for the specifics. It really does work. Really.

Go for it. It's a tool for mankind. Learn it well. Just like you would know your spear. Go caveman! Learn and laugh about, it as you grow. (or go.)

Yer buddy
That guy. LOL

 

We've nad more wars with those limeys than anyone! All my cats speak Thai.....

 

Yes, but do your cats have sticks? Pun.

Or is it a play on words rather than a pun?

Or even perhaps a double entendre?

You go look it all up on the Internet.

 

Hey kenny et al,
Thanks for the encouragement. Amazing thing is that there is no instruction "book" with this thing; it's all like in the iPad! So, (this is kinda strange) you have to somewhat know how to work it so you can read the instructions on how to work it! So, as the Pipe Major (instructor) of the bagpipe band used to say, "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!
I am, I will, I'm doin' it right now!

peace & Love,
Mouse man
P.S. Heather has always said that not reading the instructions is a guy thing; when all else fails; read the instructions!

 

The Cyenne Pepper is for evil spirits as is salt. Altho the salt is to be sprinkled around what you want protected.

You put Cyenne in all four corners of your property to keep bad Mojo at bey.

My sister Marty, me and five others held a seaunce bc my house was full and I do mean full of spirits traveling up and down my long hallway. Everynight.. and during the day there were spirit critters that would run behind my chair and disapear into the wall.

Ppl have chased these little spirit pets around the house trying to catch them for yrs. They can run through walls which we couldnt do no matter how hard we tried so the critters always seem to get away.

After the seounce, the spirits subsided, the critters ran no more. Ya know, I miss seeing the spirits travel down my hall way and I do miss the little critters running around. I was never afraid but my company were terrified when the aperitions would make their presents known.

 

Hey Mouseman,
I am estatic that you are preparing to write us some cosmic words for da book. With you being in the middle of it (as usual) will inspire more to join in the fun and make this book happen.

I heard Kenny get accused of startin shit he dont finish. This is what it is right here. If ya get an idea and it takes several ppl to make it happen and a few ppl drop out. Is the plan at fault, does the responsibility lay on the planner or does it lay on the LAZY dropouts that did not do their part. Furthermore just bc it aint happened yet does not mean it aint gonna.

To me, it all ties in together. The Book, The Museum, The Hippie Retirement Home. Everything is innertwined, it's all related. It's all about getting the message out and relating the emotional power to the subject and using that raw power to project Love, Unity and The Hippie Way.

The Inspirational drive that we have formed a connection with will have it's way. What the Universe wants for us, that is the way it will be, according to our Karma. We make our own Karma, so in essence we control the Universe.

The only way this magnificent book could possibly fail is, If We Dont Write It.

I'm apologising afore hand fer using this post to relay this message and what I am about to say in Kenny's defence, not that he needs a defence but to let him know we got his back.

For the new ones that pop in to be rude and really dont know us.SUSTFD and listen before you speak. Learn a little before you jump.

Saro,
This is what the Universe told me So, Listen Up. Aparently you do not READ this thread. Kenny was a major instrument in saving Ranger's LIFE. We all sent money, which you had no part in even tho you were here at the time. Nor did your friend Kat or Kit.

Kenny not only Hand deivered the cash we collected to get Ranger inna house so he could have his surgeries, he spent countless hours by his buddy's side. Kenny left his cosy abode, he left his lovely Scorpio Chick and the warmth of her lovin, to sit in a chair for days on end. He spent probably as much money as we had gathered to make sure Rita had gas to get to and from the hospital.

He kept us posted daily on Ranger's progress, not thinking about himself or his own health issues. He showed His Colors.

You say Kenny is a nobody.. fuck you.. He is somebody to us. We Knew him, we know him. We keep in touch. He has our trust. He has shown he is trustworthy. He has shown his LOVE for us and we all LOVE him back..

Kenny keeps the party going, his energy is at times overwhelming bc he is very INTENCE in his endevors, he is maticulas and does the research before opening his mouth. That's why we love him. He checks out all facets before buying into the game.

I dont know you Saro but by your desplay here you have only proven to me you're too emotional and could swing easily in any direction if you felt slighted. Kenny explained why the site must remain a secret and rightly so. He did not denounce you. Being that you dont know Kenny or any of us for that matter you accused him, judged him and condemed him for something he was right in doing.

If you had 'work' in the book, you would not want it shown to ppl you did not know. You have to be honest with yourself here. You must take the resposibility for your fury at Kenny for locking the door. It was a consences and we decided not to hand out the keys untill the book was copywrtied.

As a writer as you claim to be, you should have imeadietly understoood Kenny's stance and simply sent in your entry instead of throwing a drama queen fit.

Do you see the picture here.

You come into a group of ppl that are tite, you pop in a while back not trying to get to know us suddenly returning when you hear of our book and demand access and start calling Kenny names when he denighs you acess.

The fact of the matter is, it was ME that denighed you. Me and my intution told me to wait. Kenny had sent me an email saying he was going to give you acess. I stoped him. I now know what my higher self was trying to tell me.

It says that you do not play nice with others. It told me you would cause trouble. It told me that you want to run the show. We are a Collective and we concider the whole, not just what benefits one.

Maybe that is why you felt ochtrized by the Hippies bc you did/do not get it. You couldnt be cool about it like scratcho was. He understood. His Hip. What is your problem.

You cannot come in ppls places you do not know and throw fits bc you did not get your way, how old are you?!? You are free to state your opinion as long as you dont attack someone on a personal level. It's called Personal Attacks and it is against the guideline of this website which you agreed to adhear by when you singed up as a member of this site.

You are your own worst enemy. You need to check yourself woman. I always say, If you dont start no shit, there wont be none. You started this shit and now we all have to look at it. Is that what you want your legacy to be, that you are an immature bitch that has no concideration for anyone but themself.

Do you even know the concept of what a Commune is. It's One For All and All For One.

sh aka nailcakes

Love you Kennykins.. dont let the Sour Grapes spoil the wine.

 

It's cool Nailcakes. I'm just sorry that more people couldn't come together, and make the circle bigger.

I seriously don't blame you for stepping up. And of course thanks for having my back. This is especially a good thing for the hundreds of reader who just pop around and do read this thread and never talk. The readers that we never know.

In reading your thing about Collective and Commune, I think to myself that in a way this is like living together. You made a web space for us all and as I read what you wrote it had me realize that this place is way similar to the living room and the dining room in the church house. Sometimes a lot of people would meet there and relate.

So, now I'm feeling that this space really is our communal living room. Our hangout.

So, I kind of understand, you kind of venting. It's your living room. I mean how should anyone react if someone comes into their living room and creates a big ass scene. I got your back too. It's just not a thing to do.

I wonder, if she was around the Good Earth scene then she must have at least heard of the Underhouse. I mean the Underhouse did seem to have a pretty broad reputation in the Neighborhood. Not just in the commune. I mean the Underhouse always struck me as the ultimate biker clubhouse on steroids, without Harleys, and without any unbroken pool cues or beer bottles. A v. dangerous place.

I seriously doubt that she realized that she was shitting in the middle of the living room of the Underhouse and leaving it for the Ma Ma that owed that living room to clean it up.

I'll leave it at that. 'cept to say that we still are a commune and family. And if you want to hang out, you have to roll with it.

Love All,
K

 

Oh, did any of you Save the Attachment that I e-mailed to you. I put it together to let you know that you are in good experienced hands when it comes to our editing and layout work and our experience with books. Do check it out and click all of the links. You'll be amused.

I sent a copy to Saro, and she send me back a note that she was no longer interested. Okay that's cool. Doubt she checked out the Attachment. Sad. Had she checked it, she might have jumped right back into the money maker.

ya'll check it and please comment back to me. THX

 

Kenny, if you sent it I've still got it.

SH, reading your post it occured to me that the women around the Vega brothers and even Harmonica Leroy were always in the background, shadows of their men not full fledged members of the family in their own rights. As much time as I spent around that group none of their women stand out in my memory as individuals.
To my memory the women of the core GE family never hesitated to speak their minds as needed and with very few exceptions I would trust any of our women with my back in any situation the same as I trusted my brothers and none of the women of GE were simply background shadows or decortions of their men.

 

Kenny,
I have looked over my email and I cant find the links to the syuff you want us to look at. I have saved all our corrispondence and it's not in them, that I can find anyway.

 

this is true Ranger, we were who we were and never anyones patsey, we were not 'submissive' in the least. We lived our lifes on our own terms

 

Kenny,
Your are right about Underhouse for sure. You were also right about this being our House. Yes, it is our living room and where we hang out together, we have friends drop by and we have parties but no one should disrespect in our own house and I aint pickin up any more shit off the floor. I dont have a dog!

 

There in to my beliefs lies the diff between girl/woman!

 

It is the one titled "Books aside info." to Saro and to ya'll.

There should be a file image below the word "Enjoy"


HERE


and above the words "Love to you and yours,"

To Save it ya can't do a regular Save. You have to go further down to the words "Save Attachment" Yes there. Then save the attachment where you want to put it.

Find the E-mail:
"Books aside info."

 

I found them Kenny... wow.. big price on them books.. I hope ours brings in a least half that.. wooohooo

 

No No Cakes. Ours is gonna' have color pictures and ours is definitely gonna' cost more.

Does that make you smile????? Let me see you dance!
This is getting FUN? FUNNER? Do you like kenny's vision? Do you want to go on a ride on it? Wheee!

Now that you know how to do save attachments, let me know when you have the time to read 5 loose pages. It's the secret Muuuaaahhhhaaaahhhhaaahhaaaaa part of exactly how we're all going to pull all of this shit off while we're all piss broke. Where's the money for all of this???? R U curious???
