Path of Love USA
Just finishing up the Path of Love here in – Loveland, Co. Last day today, and what a process. To see participants finding their heart, reclaiming their life, their love, their souls! It is a deeply spiritual transformation, and it happens through their finding the courage to be real, to take off the masks. It is so rewarding to staff and help create the space for this work to happen, it is unique work, so gritty and real, nothing airy fairy new agey about it, just people getting real with themselves in a container of love.
I’m painting
Spinning Out of Space, 2011
This is crazy, I started painting. I had been listening to Osho speaking, he was saying in the beginning on the path, discipline is needed, and you need to give the mind new pathways to use, otherwise it just keeps going back to the old patterns.
Well, I thought, yeh, I need some new pathways, that’s for goddamn sure. Otherwise I am so like a robot, a little robot with not a very large repertoire of programs, very few in fact. So, I just thought, I’m going to start painting. - Read on…
Karl Rove 666, Election fixing
Thom Hartmann and Sam Sacks make a very good point, in fact several good points, supporting the theory that our man Karl Rove was part of, and perhaps helped master mind an election fix in Ohio’s vote counting this last election 2012. Read the truth-out article here. What I found extremely interesting was the timing of Rove’s melt down on election night in front of the camera on Fox News, and the timing of Ohio’s vote counting servers going down back in election night 2004. To the minute, Rove was looking for an about-face in the returns in Ohio, matching the timing in 2004. Anonymous’s public letters to Rove saying they were watching him playing with fire are very interesting. - Read on…
Cloud Atlas, reviews, reviewers, & points of reference
Here’s our friend Hugh Grant in one of his roles in the movie “Cloud Atlas,” you remember him from some of his (same same) roles in romantic comedies (100s of them), such as “Love Actually.” In this role he plays a violent, cannibalistic, rampaging, raping, pillaging aboriginal savage. In another role he plays an equally savage yet “civilized” upper crust rich businessman who tricks his brother into checking into an old folks home run by Nurse Ratchet. These roles are a little different for our man Hugh. As is the film as a whole, a little different for our folks in Hollywood. - Read on…
facebook anyone?
Found this here Passive Promotion from a guy named Bryan Hazard. With a name like that, I should hire him just on general principle. How does one get a name like Hazard? Anyway, this graphic sums up my approach to facebook, and social media in general. - Read on…
Color and Light Medicine
Light Medicine is here. woo. Play the video at left. This stuff really goes in, I had some. In detail here about Colorpunture.
Colorpuncture uses light with pure color on the acupuncture points, meridians, and other points particular to the Colorpuncture system, to effect healing in the cells and systems (endocrine, lymphatic, coordination system, etc) of the body. It is the name of the treatment that has arisen from the research of Peter Mandel. - Read on…
the Paul McCartney concert
What other recordings do I have? Back in 1999 New Earth Records released a CD from Chinmaya and myself called Celtic Ragas. Paul McCartney’s secretary called New Earth Records up and asked if we could come and play the music for him and (at that time) his squeeze, Heather Mills. So we did. - Read on…
1 Giant Leap – Bombardment
Speaking of One Giant Leap here is a little excerpt, which is a tiny taste of the genius of that whole concept, and monument to the unbelievable execution of the concept. Peter Gabriel would be proud cause world music doesn’t get any bettah.
Playing for Change
In the spirit of One Giant Leap (altho nothing comes close to the 2nd edition of that video) here is PLAYING FOR CHANGE, a collection of world musicians over dubbing in a inspirational musical collage.
Watchtower music video release
Just now released the All Along the Watchtower music video, so good to see it getting good response. Praashekh is happy with it (sarod player on the track). Remembering how we put that video together … Anil Sethi, producer for the video, pulled it together majorly, got Maneesh in for the second camera, Anil held camera 1, he got the location in the dark/smoky restaurant for the Joker/Thief scene together, and pulled in Samya for the waitress role, as well as help on props – he simply took care of it. Like a producer should, and the video speaks for itself. Thank you Anil!! - Read on…
Infusion concert photos
The Infusion Spirit Meets Rock concert Sat night, Sept 10 was great. The room was full, lots of people I hadn’t seen before, everyone stayed after the break till the end. In fact no one wanted to leave… Watchtower was the high point, and Asalam Aleykum, the Osho music group song, also made an impression with the stop exercise. Jon, the drummer, was very impressed and was asking Puni about it, and saying how it made an impression on him. Spirit meets rock, yeh. Photo slide show of the concert with Jon, Eric, Ashik, Karen, Brian and myself are below… videos coming also… - Read on…

Werk Werk Werk
Jesus, I never want to work for me again. I’m the one designing the website, Friday night I worked will 12:30 am, went around in circles with the javascripts for the sound files, and slideshows. Today still at it. I watched a Peter Gabriel concert movie called “Growing Up” where he went on tour with one daughter singing with him onstage, and the other daughter, a film maker, filming the concert film. Which then got distributed @ the world. It pays to have connections. Anyway, - Read on…
Music video shoot Goa, day 8
Day 8 at Agonda Beach, Goa, India. Yesterday A. and I had to get away, so we rented a scooter and went South. How many days can you stay in the sun and sand on one beach? We’d been in Agonda for one straight week, so it was time for a break. We rode down to Patnem Beach, app. 10 kilometers south.
I took the video camera and on the way - Read on…
Video shoot, Goa, day 6
Day 6 at Agonda Beach, Goa, India. Got some good footage for the music video for Sermons in Stones today around 5pm, one hr before sunset. It was planned in a detailed way, but Murphy’s Law set in big time. A. was supposed to go out to the end of the rocks on the peninsula at the end of the Agonda Beach. I would have the camera set up on the beach, at what I thought was app. 1 Kilometer - Read on…
Sermons in Stones music video shoot
Day 5 at Agonda Beach, Goa, India. Getting ready to shoot the video for Sermons in Stones. Just decided last minute to include a video for Sermons. I’ve got about 60 seconds of beach, and another two minutes of drive by scenery from the rented scooter. Am hoping my friend Robert Kitilla has some aerial footage of forest/beach that I can use. Would be great for intro and ending. - Read on…
