water work Hi,
I just read some of your blogs. I was wondering if you happened to know any cranio therapists in the south of India. Who did you study Cranio under? I have taken three classes with Hugh Milne. Also I have experienced cranial unwinding in the water with Gary Strauss in Hawaii. (he is in Topanga) I would love to have some Cranio in India if possible. If you have any info to pass on it would be very appreciated.
Thank you
don't worry about a thing Dear James - It's been a while since we heard from you - been checking your blog site - no new news had me concerned so was delighted to open site today to find new communication. We had amazing prividgles (sp?)to be born where we were at the time we were - it makes some of the things we we fought dad and mom about seem pretty small. One thing I admire about Dad and Mom - they really tried to make a difference with their lives - they both started with nothing - but instead of using that as an excuse to keep all they acquired, they contributed to the community where they lived and to the greater community of the world, most often in secret, before they indulged themselves in things like the mauselum (sp?). It's amazing the times and places where they put their money - and their actions - where they often didn't put their mouths - they were just as likely to give in secret than for the world to see- especially when they were yo!
unger. India was hard on them, so much pain, so much poverty. I am thankful for your actions today, helping those you come into contact with, for you never know who you might touch. As a rock thrown into a pond spreads ripples that grow larger and larger. And didn't Christ say something like "when you help the least of these" - if we only help the world one person at a time - isn't that enough? Thank you for being the strong, caring, gentle man you are. Love, every day. Your sister, Francie
don't worry bout a thing Glad you made it back, ok. And your place in Florida is only without electricity. It seems james was able to avoid the "big trouble" in both places. In some places courtney goes, there's the saying, "One is too many, and a thousand - never enough." I guess that could mean that Billion$ is even more "never enough"! Been having fun with license plates.
Thank you,
Holy cows make the best meat! An anecdote you might appreciate...Sri Aurobindo - a bonafied Indian guru - was once visited by a devout devotee from a far away land. He found Aurobindo smoking. "What? you smoke?! But you are holy man!???" He uttered in flabbergasted amazement...all his projections and images of a holy man flustered on the screen of his mind before him and seriously fucking with his head at the moment. Nonchalantly, Aurobindo replied matter of factly: "Yes, I am addicted." :) Holy cows make the best meat!
Carolyn and the carpet baggers! Thanks James
I checked out your blog - nice!
I have listened to Carolyn Myss quite a few times - and enjoyed to hear her take on things...an original thinker
Her taking 400 women to Egypt sort of blends one of my worst nightmares and something that could be genuinely interesting....I mean I have traveled a hell of a lot - I have lived in 12 countries in the last twelve years! - and I don't do coach tours well - nothing makes me feel more like a tourist than being in a coach - and I prefer to travel not to "tourist"! If you get my drift.
I guess what she does caters to a population of "new age" American women who like to travel in comfort and numbers...and hopefully it leads them down healing tracks... I was not born in the USA - but I lived for many years. I think of myself as a human - because I can't stand the idea of being wed to any country - they are all just too fucked up for that! :)
I have noticed though that Americans like sameness...I am sure all cultures do. But America made it an international brand - a Holiday Inn in Milwaukee and Madras are basically the same creature...When you can wake up in the same surroundings no matter where you are - maybe you feel a little safer...I am not really sure why there is such an urge to make this bland, brand of sameness in corporate hotels....but it is a clear trend...MTV, Sesame Street, coffee and bacon are there wherever you go....Kind of sad in some ways...but understandable too as technology takes man's consciousness towards a more global footing...
However - the subtle depths of our cultural heritage can be covered over by superficial escapism - and that is a very real concern - and I imagine "Carolyn Tours INC" try and look for the common mythological motifs of ancient cultures and our own - and how that all ties into the psychospiritual vehicle we are all walking around in/as...I imagine - she is on to something - but my hunch is that what one gets in the end is a little watered down and cliched - maybe I am wrong...Clearly though she is a good businesswoman and more power to her for that! At the same time - like you perhaps - I am always wary of healers who jump on the salesman's wagon and pedal things...America leads the world in this activity - though by the sounds of things your muslim carpet sellers are catching up! - by selling itself the idea that EVERYTHING can be bought...Spiritual insight included...! Hah!
This is a great surprise. James,
Besides being great to hear from you, I am totally looking forward to taking the trip to India with you. I have always wanted to go. I don't know about going along with Caroly Myss, however, I think she is ????

tasty Your blog is like a box of chocolates - tasty. love your point of view and how much you convey with how few words. It is a treat to visit your site.
A Little Tip on Indian Culture I must admit that at first I was a little disturbed by your comments. I however must give concessions since you must be new to India. As a native Indian, I would like you learn a little about Indian Culture. The Gurus you were talking about are known as Sikhs as they follow a religion called Sikhism. The Sikh men are bound by religious covenant to sport beards and long hair which must be covered by a turban.
I believe the Gurus of the West wear Turbans to give it an Indian touch and to garner clientele. The Gurus (or teachers) in India have no such obligation and may wear whatever they choose, even a suit and tie if they fancy.
India is a land of many races and languages. Each state in India has its own official language. It is not uncommon to find villages just a few KM apart but having their own customs and dialects.
Hope you enjoy your stay in India.
Keep it coming! Just read all comments so far. It was fun to catch up all at once. A washing machine would take second place to a trip to India any day! How do we get copies of your books? Can't imagine how Hong Kong must have changed since '78 and the Chineese have taken over. Keep it personal and keep it coming - love your attitude. And what a cliff hanger - did you make it to India after all?
Greetings! Peace be unto you brother and sisters and thank you for the privilege of your presence here. Last year, completed a trip to India with famed medical intuitive, Dr. Carolyn Myss and a lot of other people, mostly women. You are invited to take a peek! And there are other adventures, such as in Panama, when I get a chance to post them!
Multi-disciplinarian in playwriting, prose, performance, poetry, painting, applied healing arts, here I loosen up a bit, take off the healers hat, step out of the integral clinic, and blog a bit at random.
