What I am doing

I've been listening to music, reading, and celebrating

http://www.gdradio.net/ has streaming grateful dead music, which I like

I have a plan to read all 1001 recommended books from 'Books You Must Read Before You Die' in 3 years, so my online output is probably going to be minimal.

I just turned 39 on 9/3. Happy Birthday to me!

I am excited about a new age bookstore opening in Berkeley just off campus, on Euclid: The Veil between Heaven and Earth, where my wife will be working, as well as psychics. Sara has dabbled in runes, astrology, aromatherapy, tarot, buddhism, etc. and was told she is psychic around water.. She's an Aquarius. Her mom has a singing bowl and pendulum, and is getting remarried soon.

TV b/w H&E, lol

I'm not the biggest fan of TV, as you may know already, but I do like how it brings music, though, now, via cable/satellite. In Lake County, there was a tv Grateful Dead station, but not now in Roseville.

Anyway, The Veil sounds like something that I remember was 'rent', from some bible quote. I don't exactly remember it or the circumstances, though. Maybe I'm completely off, lol.

I've been looking at the catalog for Inner Traditions, a source of spirituality books, and it's got some weird stuff in it, like:
-Shambhala is the realization of the long-awaited paradise on earth..

-Reality is All the God There Is, by Avatar Adi Da Samraj

-Hara, the Vital Center of Man; (according to zen masters, by adopting a belly-centered posture and correct breathing, one can culivate inner tranquility and balance: the state called Hara..)

-Shiva, God of All Gods, worshipped for his ability to balance masculine and feminine energies, dances the joy of being and the dance of doom, always breaking through the false ego to reveal the true self within.

-one can obtain immortality through the 3 treasures of Taoism, ching (sexual and physical energy), qi (breath and vital energy), and shen (spirit and mental energy)

-The Naga Baba are an ancient and wild order of naked sadhus who are called the "hell's angels of Indian spirituality"

-"Master Li Ching-yun is reliably chronicled to have lived more than 250 years.."

Different books say there are 5 elements, 8 psychic channels, 9 emotions, 6 healing sounds, and 3 simple paths in the tao of no stress.

Here's a TOTO love quote: Hold the line. Love isn't always on time!
