Seriously Bob....you could publish....all you need is a title...
_______________,
A series of essays on ______ by ____________.
I don't know enough about whatever to think of a good title. Your creative and
loyal friends must have some good ideas. Give up on the novel...too much for
an addled brain to comprehend. You must know someone in the publishing field :)
P.S. Do I get a commission?

Bob, WTF?? You fucking retard your
strength is not dealing with others directly....
Lament for the death of my second wife (Herr Edelstein).
Ravi,
Mere words could never express how moved I was to hear from
you after all this time. I sincerely hope you didn't feel forgotten, or---for
that matter, forsaken. That could never happen. For me you're like a fine Super
Tuscan that needs aeration after its been corked. And as with all men of the
renaissance you're best saved for
last.
You must be asking: "WTF Bubaji, I'm nobody's second
fiddle" and I couldn't agree more, but please let me explain. In Anglo Saxon
culture the second place is one of honor. Its been said, that's the reason
Shakespeare left his long suffering wife his second bed----the first being for
visitors. And of course---in Niel Gow's life affirming piece, the fiddle is the
second wife his lament refers to.

On the other (second) hand, my lament is for the
reality we must now embrace, as painful as it is, and---if not bury the hatchet,
bury Herr Edelstein; because as true as the day follows night you are no one's
second fiddle. And of course I must take full responsibility for this mistake
in thinking you would be prefect to open for Robin when we hit the road. This
all became too apparent with your previous last post when you wished me God
speed. I realized then that as my relationship with Robin grew in depth and
intimacy you felt jilted making your collaboration with our tour virtually
impossible. So that is my lament, but to quote my favorite Palestinian client:
"Business is business".
I have a number of things I hope to get your advice about, as
you know I've recently found myself in that brand new state of original
consciousness
you and your teammates are so familiar with. I had planned to seek Robins
advice (he, IMO, being the granddaddy of the whole (ness) shebang), but I'm a
little concerned about the over all stability of his recent re-cognition and it
might be advisable to wait till it settles a bit---his being a little more like
an early Californian that could be considered a touch fruity if corked too
early. In addition---despite his recent return to Unity--- he seems pre-occupied
with a new movie (Working title THE FIXER UPPER) in the bowels of the FFL
archives with our one and only truth commissioner. He wants me to get involved
but frankly I'm not sure it has legs (please don't tell him that because unlike
some others on FFL he has feelings).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgGpSNQurRQ
In preparation for this exchange, I went back over some of
your recent posts, figuring----for someone I'm seriously considering as a
disciple, I should at least be prepared. In the process of reviewing these
recent posts I was disturbed to come across a thread called "Moving to LA”.
Don’t get me wrong, your move itself was not disturbing---as much as we hate to
lose you from the Bay Area, LA needs all the enlightened help it can get.
No, what disturbed me---on a thread with such a high post
count, was that no one had the intestinal fortitude to approach the pink
elephant in the room. So as your #1 admirer, and possible "dispeller of
darkness", I have to bring it up no matter how much easier it would be to
pretend it's not an issue.
So here goes. What about your therapist, is he planning to
move with you? I have to say finding an effective therapist is not as easy as
Hollywood would have us believe, and my God your therapist has helped you make
some strides. I mean he's helped you virtually eliminate the depressing half of
your manic depression. The transformation has been so complete I've wanted to
ask you his contact details. Granted, he hasn't been nearly as effective with
your tourette's, but I'm guessing he has a whole strategy for that, and now
you're pulling up stakes and heading south. I just want to make sure; you're
sure?
That said, I have to confirm how much I've been enjoying
your management of your tourette's. I think blending profanity with the scared
is a brilliant strategy. For some
reason it reminds me of the time I met OSHO at the Hyatt in New Delhi,---I
believe you met him also---right after they threw him out of Oregon. I was
there negotiating a contract for Abu Dhabi with Engineers India LTD. (now those
guys knew how to drink). As I'm sure you know, at that time, the sixth floor of
the Hyatt was a hotel within a hotel with a lounge for business types that
served free drinks 24 hours a day. OSHO arrived the second night of my
stay---he was on his way to Pune, and
took half of the sixth floor. That would have been impressive enough, but what
really impressed me was that he dropped by the lounge late one night (everyone
but him being three sheets to wind) and basically shot the s**t while he
polished off some juice. A lovely man, not afraid of an off color joke, and I'm
sure a very great teacher.
In addition to meeting him, the part this experience that is
interesting for me, was when I staggered back to my room late that night, and
passed out on the bed fully clothed, and then woke up in the morning laying in
the corner of the room naked and feeling great. The odd thing was that I was
shaved and appeared to have brushed my teeth, and I swear, seemed to have
emptied my bladder and completed my other business in the toilet. Of course, I
had no proof because the bathroom looked fresh liked it had never been used.
My first thought was OSHO, having had a multi hour white
light experience ten years before on another continent, in another country, in
another hotel, in another room, beside another realized being. There are a
number of things---besides the divine, that could have explained my experience;
I had drunk a lot the night before, it turned out the building was sinking in
the direction of the corner I woke up in, and not to forget the head of the
Lakshmi
doll---made of solid hash, that I had bitten off and eaten before retiring for
the night. Any of these things could have explained my experience except for
the fact it happened three nights in a roll and I was completely sober on
nights two and three. OSHO and I checked out at the same time and as he floated
through the lobby, entourage in tow, I swear he turned in my direction and
winked. Like I said, a man of humor and deep enlightenment, to the very end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIWB-Neyj-c
This brings me to my last question. I had hoped to ask Why Now,
but as much as I believe he's beyond the mortal emotions of fear and
anger---hell even Big M exhibited those---he does seem a touch sensitive these
days, who wouldn’t be waking up with Shiva perched on the end of your bed
saying: "try keeping me waiting again pinhead".
So my question is when Why Now speaks with Krishna, does
Krishna speak back? And if Krishna speaks back can we ask him questions? If so,
I know Robin and I would like to know when the Holy Spirit is coming back? If
some type of indulgence is required, just I send me a Pay Pal account.
The second part of my last question has to do with fear and
my future, and since Why Now has evolved beyond fear, I'm thinking he could
answer this, and I'm hoping you'll ask him as I think he's not mad, mad about
me.
My question is when I evolve beyond fear will it effect my
reaction time? This is a real concern for me because my reaction time, both
mental and physical, is one of my real vanities. For example, if the daughter,
Jack Russell, and myself are in our local McDonalds waiting for our Big N'
Tasty with Super Size, and some one goes postal---assuming I throw myself on my
loved ones after grabbing the nearest double-wide to use her as a human shield,
will my reaction time be as fast as before I've reached Why Now's level of
consciousness?
Just between you and me---please keep this between us---it
may be why I need you as a go between, many of the not realized, realized on
FFL, sound a bit---well you know, STEPFORD wives. I'm sure it's just me and
when I become a STEPFORD wife I'll understand better.

So my concerns about your therapist notwithstanding, I'm
thrilled you'll be living just down the road from Rancho Mirage as I'm looking
forward to possibly getting together on one of my day passes. I realize you
turn it up with your Internet voice, as I'm sure you know I turn it down with
mine. I have no doubt two not realized; realized party animals like you and me
could show them how it's done:

PS: WTF does shibboleth mean?
PPS: I have nothing but faith in your power to move mountains--- Siddha
yoni that I know you to be---so any visualization you can manage, for my day
pass, will be more than appreciated?

Bob, WTF?? You fucking retard your strength is not dealing with others
directly. I'm glad you at least seem to be aware that you get mentally
challenged under stress.
Your strength is to use your creative skills to mock others with beautiful,
deceptive, cunning, low vibe, slime-ball, perverted posts. Stick to that.
P.S I'm still here waiting for my Friday special.
