Since I know Ned, Casey, Rob and Billy, it had an aura of sobriety about it that was difficult to shake. I especially liked Ned's comments at the end: long post dated 26 Oct 02. -- These guys saw it all and still refused to see it until they could no longer refuse. This reminded me of something Mahesh said about the Hari Krishnas: they recite the mantra until their consciousness is simply exhausted and it falls through to the transcendent. This is about the same vintage as Hong Kong Fish. But when you look at the references to the expurgated version we have of Beacon Light, one wonders just what Mahesh was doing with Japa back then. Was it a precursor to rounding?
