Book Review: Leonard Nimoy's Poetry
A few night ago, my wonderful friends, Alan and Emily Williams, gifted me with the Leonard Nimoy poetry book: We Are All Children Searching For Love (1977).
Much like Sheldon Cooper receiving Leonard Nimoy's dinner napkin, I had a few mini convulsions and acted a total, geeky fool. Yes, this is poetry written by Leonard Nimoy. I dare you to name anything more awesome.
The poems all deal with love and fragility of the human spirit. The entire book delves into our childlike spirit state and how that is a constant that can be uncovered and honored. Nimoy writes of his devotion to the woman he loves. He writes about being human. And in some instances, he hints at the trappings of fame. (Below is a video of me reading one of them called "There is in me a being little known.") Leonard Nimoy is sooo deep!
Another bonus - he also took all the photographs that appear in the book. None of them make any sense. The design and fonts in the book are so deliciously circa 1977. And the colors are all browns and golds and beiges - the same tupperware color scheme of the day.
I would recommend this book to all Nimoy fans!!! I'm not sure anyone else would get it.
Live long and prosper, my friends.

Echinacea Tincture
I have been making Echinacea Tincture for myself and friends for over a year now, and I can't tell you how many times it has come in handy when a cold or cough is coming on, or when a friend is feeling sick.
I get my medicinal herbs from Shoshanna at The Bulk Herb Store.
If you are wondering about the health benefits of Echinacea, here's a little video about it:
And here's a video about making your own tinctures:

Self-Healing Meditation
I use the Reiki Self Healing Part 1 and 2 videos as part of my morning meditation. Even if you do not have any Reiki training, you can use them too. Just sit and relax your breathing. Then, make your intention to love and heal yourself as you let the video guide you through the Reiki hand positions. Both videos take less than 15 minutes, and I promise you will feel better afterwards.
Remember to concentrate on how great you feel - NEVER on what is wrong or what is hurting on your body. Only think about how healthy you are. If you have trouble with your mind wandering to your ailments, try to concentrate on just your breathing instead. (Always slowly in through your nose and out through your mouth.)

The Time of Drugging the Magic Out of People is OVER!
People are changing - for the better.
Drugging children who are different - just because they are different - just because they don't fit into the prison of public school - just because their very presence questions the old reality - is OVER.
There is a better way.
Let people be alive - they way God made them.
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all affected by the way -
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all attracted to the flame -
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all affected by the way -
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all attracted to the flame -
This is your calling, Wayseer.
You've found your tribe.
Welcome home.>

THE WAYSEER MANIFESTO
ATTENTION: All you rule-breakers, you misfits and troublemakers - all you free spirits and pioneers - all you visionaries and non-conformists ...
Everything that the establishment has told you is wrong with you - is actually what's right with you.
You see things others don't. You are hardwired to change the world. Unlike 9 out of 10 people - your mind is irrepressible - and this threatens authority. You were born to be a revolutionary.
You can't stand rules because in your heart you know there's a better way.
You have strengths dangerous to the establishment - and it wants them eliminated, So your whole life you've been told your strengths were weaknesses - Now I'm telling you otherwise.
Your impulsivity is a gift - impulses are your key to the miraculous,
Your distractibility - is an artifact of your inspired creativity,
Your mood swings - reflect the natural pulse of life, they give you unstoppable energy when you're high and deep soulful insight when you're low,
Been diagnosed with a "disorder"? That's society's latest way to deny it's own illness by pointing the finger at you. Your addictive personality is just a symptom of your vast underused capacity for heroic, creative expression and spiritual connection. your utter lack of repression, your wide eyed idealism, your unmitigated open mind - didn't anyone ever tell you?! these are the traits shared by the greatest pioneers and visionaries and innovators, revolutionaries, procrastinators and drama queens, activists on the social scene, space cadets and mavericks, philosophers and derelicts, business suits flying fighter jets, football stars and sex addicts, celebrities with ADD, alcoholics who seek novelty, first responders - prophets and saints, mystics and change agents.
'cuz we're all affected by the way -
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all attracted to the flame -
You know in your heart that there's a natural order to life,
something more sovereign than any man-made rules or laws could ever express.
something more sovereign than any man-made rules or laws could ever express.
This natural order is called "the Way."
The Way is the eternal substrate of the cosmos. It guides the very current of time and space. The Way is known by some as the Will of God, Divine Providence, the Holy Spirit, the implicate order, the Tao, reverse-entropy, life-force, but for now we'll simply call it "the Way." The Way is reflected in you as the source of your inspiration, the source of your passions, your wisdom, your enthusiasm, your intuition, your spiritual fire - love. The Way takes the chaos out of the Universe and breathes life into it by reflecting divine order. The Way, when experienced by the mind, is genius, when perceived through the eyes is beauty, when felt with the senses is grace, when allowed into the heart ... is love.
Most people cannot sense the Way directly. ... But then there are the Wayseers. The keepers of the flame. Wayseers have an unexplainable knack for just knowing the Way. They sense it in their very being. They can't tell you why or how they arrived at the right answer. They just know it in their core. They can't show their work. So don't ask. Their minds simply resonate with the Way. When the Way is present, so are they.
While others are blind to it, and society begs you to ignore it, "the Way" stirs you inside. Neurological repression blocks most people's awareness of the Way - censoring all thoughts and impulses from the unconscious is their prefrontal cortex - the gestapo of the brain - nothing which violates its socialized programming even gets through; but your mind is different. your mind has been cracked wide open to the Way - by some miraculous genetic trait, some psychotropic chemical or maybe even by the will of your very soul, your brain's reward pathways have been hijacked - dopamine employed to overthrow the fascist dictatorship of your prefrontal cortex - now your brain is free of repression, your mind free of censorship, your awareness exposed to the turbulent seas of the unconscious - through this open doorway divine light shines into your consciousness showing you the Way. This is what makes you a Wayseer.
90% of human civilization is populated with those who's brains are blocked to the Way. Their brains are hardwired to enforce the social programming indoctrinated since birth. Unlike you they cannot break out of this programming, because they have not yet experienced the necessary revolution of mind. These programmed people take social institutions and rules very seriously. Society is full of games programmed to keep peoples' minds occupied so they will not revolt. These games often cause sick fixations on peculiar protocols, power structures, taboos and domination - all subtle forms of human bondage - This distinct form of madness is not only tolerated by the masses but insisted upon. The programmed ones believe in rules so forcefully they become willing to destroy anyone who violates them.
Wayseers are the ones who call their bluff. Since Wayseer minds are free to reject social programming, Wayseers readily see social institutions for what they are - imaginary games. Wayseers comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. Helping those who are lost in these games and refuse to help themselves is a calling of many Wayseers. Since Wayseers are the ones who keep contact with the original source of reality - they are able to disrupt societal conventions and even governments to realign humanity with the Way.
The Wayseers are an ancient lineage. A kind of priesthood - carriers of the flame - ones "in the know." There must always be Wayseers to reform the dizzying psychotic spinning gears of society - giant mindless hamster wheels obscuring the pure blue sky, keeping humanity shackled in a darkened cage - so Wayseers are called - to shed light on the madness of society - to continually resurrect the timeless transcendent Spirit of Truth -
Wayseers reveal this divine truth by devoting themselves to the birth of some creative or disruptive act expressed through art or philosophy, innovations to shake up industry, revolutions for democracy, coups that topple hypocrisy, movements of solidarity, changes that leave a legacy, rebellions against policy, spirit infused technology, moments of clarity, things that challenge barbarity, watersheds of sincerity, momentous drives for charity
