Golden Age Pt.2.........Bu-Bump

Posted on Feb 22nd, 2007 by T

Last night I went down town to check out a new spiritual group- Asheville has so many of them you can't throw a random rock without nailing some kind of saddhu, wannnabe or otherwise.

And I'd hate to hit a real one. Even a fake one. Well, a fake one might be fun if it was a real small rock and it didn't hurt but it made him all pissed off………..

Anyway, I go to this heart-practice group. Real crowded in there, and I got there late, had to sit right next to the teacher in a high chair which made me feel childlike, awkward, and secretly pleased.

Go ahead and analyze that one but meantime he had us simply put a finger on our heart and relax. Then smiling down into the heart whatever-that-means-to-you. And how all those practices, fancy and however profound, tend to mediate this connection.

So, let's cut out the middle-man and go right Home.

That's their theory.

Well, let me just say this: I believe them. That the heart is the energetic center like the Sun and you don't have to do a goddamn thing to enjoy and be healed by it………in fact, anything you do just gets in the way. Just find a group of folks that are doing it and go hang out.

So, we sat, eyes shut, and put a finger in the Holy Dike. I felt this strange literal energy in my finger- it was tough because of thoughts about it, you know how it is. But when I was willing to really feel the feeling, it was so steady and calm- like 'I' could never be.

And what really sold the farm?

I was languishing at the time to a new age soundtrack that ordinarily would have me hating all that is Good and Decent and Praying for the Relief that Death Will Surely Bring……

Rolling my eyes. Yet, I smiled. Fucking smiled, a real smile. Right there in that little new age room with all those typical Asheville Types and I'm such a snob.………..Jesus Christ what next??? ……………….Jesus Christ?

I don't think so- I was a born again Christian 25 years ago, coming off shooting drugs, for about a year. Having had it once, I think that gives me immunity………

At any rate, from what I've gleaned thus far, I give these Heart cats a big thumbs up. Check 'em out. Heart Sanctuary.……here they are… I heartily recommend them from what I've gleaned so far. I'm going back. Plus, I'm going to check out all kinds of 'spiritual' groups and report on them right here on Eyes in the Pine.

If ya want.

Febuary 14th

Is Valentine's Day Silly!

For the last half turn 'round the Sun, I've been corting the Muse. Following her everywhere, pretty much.

Well, She shows up in some pretty interesting places, I must say!

Meet Shannon. 47 years looking; I never lost her (nor could I ever)- but I was always afraid of her. Not so much any more, I'm very, very happy to report! Sorry Mom…..you'll like her, I promise!

Yeah, photo-shamanic journalism is a strange calling……..

Love is the Boss and I am her Bitch……

On a good day!


Some new motos up

Keep looking for who you never lost…………….

Ooooo

This shot goes with previous post- another of Quan Yin. Here, to me anyway, she calms the beast and offers him water in the pool. Floating above. Above Her, Shiva dances as Wings. Maybe. Just my opinion- I could be wrong.

Either way, pretty fuckin' cool, if ya ask me.

The Plan

O.K. Here's the deal. I've been riding Eyes in the Pine for about 5 months. I started early with about 25-40 hits a day. I now maintain an average of 25- 40 hits a day.

Hmmmm. So, I've come to accept that Eyes in the Pine is not destined to be the mega chart busting internet phenom I never dreamt of.

So, I'll get more myself, more and more unedited. We're talkin' Crazy Town, Big Time USA. Soon the numbers will fade, ebbing down to one. One last viewer, loyal to the sinking ship of Eyes in the Pine. Come what may. A viewer that cannot be alienated, nor bored in any way.

A reader who truly loves me.

Then I will ask You, my only reader, to marry me. I won't know who you are, but will know it is you. Since all you Others have found blog-lovers elsewhere……….

Oh yeah- one really important point: As long as your not my Mother! Ex's are free to give it a shot. Yeah, we do change.

Oh my God it's beautiful here. Took this shot, with the new mini-van of cameras I'm toting, of what I see as a Quan Yin shrine.

Look for Her. She's right there.

Plus some dude. He's the one with the camera…………………..

Another Day, Another Holler

It's a jungle in here……..up in the Holler.

Shoutin' out big time to you folks. Been tuning in, and coming up with some interesting developments. Developments almost out of the closet, the labiatory as it were.

'Coz, now, I'm going to tell you what Life is made out of. Only two things. If ya boil it all down.

And those two things are:

NOVELTY starring Henry Habit. And a Duck

and

HABIT. Featuring Nova Novelty. And a Coke.

And of course,

BJORK! She leans toward Novelty- maybe just a tad. Remember that giant white swan she wore to the Oscars or something? That was different.

Now if a Duck bought a Coke humming Bjork, that would be novel- but a Duck buying a Coke driving a Hummer- that's just sad.

Dig. Choose. Balance.

Take a chance……….

Above's a boring shot with my new boring regular camera! I want my Moto! Wah!

Two Tips For Survival as EarthChange Continues:

Stop watching mainstream media. Stop watching mainstream news. Stop watching alternative media. Stop watching alternative news. MAKE YER OWN DAMMIT! Dont' feed fear with complicit reaction to fear. Which is fear! Make friends with fear!

YOU ARE BEING BRAINWASHED YOU ARE BEING BRAINWASHED YOU ARE NOT BEING BRAINWASHED.

Hey Kids Here's my alternative Eyes in the Pine website Don't it look all shiny an' perty an' all?

Blogspot Eyes in the Pine

Take yer pick. I'll keep 'em both running like Wolves.

Meanwhile, I will speak in paragraphs

complete

soon.

Bye!

Here's Venus- check outside in the West, just after dark. So lovely!

Venus

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty!

by T

Lost my cell; bought a regular camera with like 8 mega pixies- too much torque? I took lots of pictures yesterday with the thing, up in the unspeakably beautiful country here in Celo, and only came up with a few I like. Whereas with that cheap-assed cell phone, perhaps gone now forever, I keep about every other one!

What gives?

Anyway, here's one worth looking at. I'll keep working on it!

This one's called………………….

Kitty.

Lappin' up all that good ol' country water boy!

Venus, Human Birth to the Plains of North Dakota

07 by T

A few fun stories to relate this morning…………and some news.

Fun Story the First says:

- I started my new job had to be there at 8:30 (!) and then had to stuff cold hamburger into plastic bags and seal them. Not so much fun, but the job looks like a winner thus far. Lowest paying job I've had since I was, uh, like a teenager.

My salary lies between seven and eight dollars an hour.

Of course I'm not going to tell you what my salary is exactly? How dare you even wonder?

their sex life, early childhood traumas, whatever. Ask people anything and they usually Not that you did. But isn't it odd- peculiar even- that folks 'll be yappin about anything-want to please, try to please.

Now, ask them how much money they're worth…………….

Oops! Awkward! I asked a cashier what she makes an hour and she looked at me like I was an asshole man. Not a word. So I started guessing, just to be a Dick.

“Nine?………….nine-fifty? Ah, c'mon, it's gotta be eighy-fifty huh.? Oh, c'mon just tell me………………not ten! Is it ten?…….”

The whole while she's turning slightly red. Tight-lipped, scanning away, and looking trapped back there. Yes; clearly very tense.………as if this couldn't be more outrageous.

Yet, she seemed to be enjoying herself, strangely! Ah, taboos………..

We're weird. Humans are weird.

Fun Story the Second States:

So then, I found this old coupon for the Grove Park Spa. This is big; worth a hundred bucks, cold cash. Haunted daily- the bored, the rich and the beautiful. Now, me. They laid five of those coupons on me five years ago for playing a gig there; lost one.

Found one. So, I'm there, beautiful day with a wind scoured, empty sky, golden sunshine, and all the mountains crowded 'round that horizon. Lot's of great pools, and a wet sauna with a cold plunge that rocked my world- but now I'm hangin' with some homies poolside. For the whole sunset thing.

You know how it is.

Four people and me out there. We avoid the camera line, light up- strangers all, and then- wow! flaming in the west just then, (and every evening right now- look just after sunset in a western sky near you.) This night Venus was joined with Uranus. I could see the pair- I even brought some Nikons.

Now, so happens that one cool couple with which I hang are not only madly in love, but- it's both their birthdays to boot. And one of the women in the other couple as well. Aquarians all; 'Water Bearers' in the pool communing (Venus)- a Venus even now- on their very birthday itself- (conjunct far-away Uranus- which, get this- rules Aquarius)- all up there blazing away in the cold sky and us in all that warm water.

Venus is Love. And when we all awed at Venus in the sky, a Great Blue Heron flapped right overhead in the dusk.

Satisfied in my soakings, I dropped unexpectedly at my bud Chris's house. I didn't really know why- I was tired, and had just hung out the day before with the man. But I did.

Guess what- unbeknownst beforehand- it's his birthday too!!

So, 4 out of the 5 folks I've been hanging with all evening. Birthdays all. Venus conjunct Uranus. Unexpected connections. Got that one right!

Cooler than shit.
.
Now I'm housesitting in Celo. Way up in the woods. With no moto-cell phone. Think it's lost for good this time! So, no new motos but whatever. I'll come up with somethin'- take that to the bank, friend!

Bread and Circuses :

Humans presented with the unexplained. Two parts.

Part one: The Stoners on the Beach

Part two: Not much going on in North Dakota…………..Whaaaaaa?

Hang in there with part ii- he doesn't see anything for 5 minutes, but it's worth the wait. The guys reaction is cool- and the Stoners, well, Dude: ………………….you shoulda been there. So freaking there.
