probably the most harrowing book i have read in a long time, can't even say i liked it as it was just to dark for me. like brutal. yet it was well written and poetic in parts. i guess that is what made it interesting. here's the strange part. it's based upon a real experience the author had.now i had a run in with a californian desert cult when i was grey-hounding it from california to new jersey. so i know they exist and have met a renegade who had escaped, he was a strange nervous guy who just ambled up to the back of the bus where i sat and crashed out. later when he awoke he explained to me he had just escaped from a cult out in the desert and was petrified they would come after him.

well rested after my burst of industry, i have spent the last week organising other peoples xmas and finally get a day off to rest and recuperate. i'm up early for a surf, the waves are choppy but the water warm. it feels good and my energy centers sort themselves out into some sort of realignment.
my plants seem to enjoy a little extra attention as i water them and play them some nice music. mission control looks a bit chaotic still these afghan builders are still completing construction so it's shambolic and i am at their mercy. once it's completed i shall feel a sense of contentment as i can expand a little.
i drive over to zabriski point, a stunning mansion where i will stay for a few weeks, it has spectacular views and the split level design is striking and funky. there's art work everywhere, colourful and flamboyant, a wonderful oceanic breeze straight into the lounge and my own throne right up the top with panoramic views. the house is massive with the bedrooms up back and an outdoor spa. down the front of the house is the beach.
i head home for the xmas experience.

i don't know where it comes from, i guess after learning the stance and the punch technique, the legwork and the breathing then comes the power. it's not sustainable, just a few moments of strange energy, even my breathing has shifted.
i travel along the straight track to central, where all nexus seems to converge and four watchtowers meet. there is them, there is i the wandering captain, there is you and there is it. we drink a beer and eat some food in a noodle market where people seem to enjoy the ambient twilight, the mid-afternoon sun as clouds roll by looming threatening saturation intermittent summer heat. we laugh, tell stories and then head down towards the foundry while jake and company head in an opposing direction to dance drink and play.
my mission is to listen to laugh, to say thank you to agent wild for being a friend, a friend on the end of a phone at the midnight hour. a friend who gets me home alive year after year when my body aches, my eyes rebel and my thoughts seem to turn towards the liminal when i should be focused on staying within my lane, avoiding the speeding trucks and hundreds of imminent dangers, agent wild gets me to the front door like a guardian angel.
so we sit in the shadows, drinking our cocktails.
steve is there on stage, he hits some chords and noodles around, already i am relaxed and calm, sinking into the corners and merging with shadows. it's true i have heard these songs before, the many anecdotes between all are familiar but still i laugh, still i smile. there's something really great and unique about steve, a rock star who rose then fell and then really rose beyond the rise. all that reminiscence at fame, at the absurdity of it, the close encounters, the excess, the unique irony that plagued the church as he weaves his way through the songs that took him to his heights and lows and i'm there on that ride with him. it takes an astute individual to look back with that kind of detachment, to gaze at his own spiteful envy at bands more successful, chart positions and personalities, the reviews that haunted him. often characters he impersonates so well it becomes incomprehensible they are not there themselves, micheal chugg handing steve a bag of cash after a gig, the cocaine fuelled tour manager of slade chasing richard ploog around, the weird record executives and producers who steve clashed with. these stories all reflect figures that burned brighter than than steve, zapping him of his own directed trajectory but they have long faded and the church still shine. and steve has made his own journey higher than fame or stardom. its a trip right?
there's something really special about steve, the honesty, the humour, his rocky road i guess. it's the road that makes life interesting, i rather see steve play than anyone else. it's not the familiarity but the constant wonder that the man who can write and play 'just for you' also does priest = aura.' how is that possible, two incredible songs, i wonder, as the soft night begins to crack, the echoes faintly fade and i can feel the straight line calling me back.
a perfect song and karin was in the audience, what a treat that must have been.

in my dream it's night time
i'm driving through the rain
it's pitch black out there
although my headlights seem to create a short vista of road
like a strange eternal tunnel
when suddenly!
i hit a man.
his upper torso and arms in silhouette
details missing.
who was that man, was it me or am i the driver.

strange old day today, i wake up through the night at 2 hour intervals, not sure why. eventually i find myself training at dawn, my trainer does some weird new lifting thing with me, it forces me to use muscles that are lazy and it's exhausting, painful and very difficult. i push through, pain is horrible, it's intense but i push through, shouting aloud as i do. eventually it all ends and i return home. later i have to take the car to get a new windshield, the windshield has a huge crack in it thanks to central coast roads, potholes everywhere. this takes a few hours so i wander over to the local shops and sit in a library reading my tanith lee book, 'eva fairdeath,' which reminds me of early mike moorcock. in fact sometimes i am cast back to my early teenage years reading moorcock for the first time, being captivated and loving the adventure, the strangeness and the characters ambiguous natures.

my thoughts are and always have been beat your program, always rewire it and write your own, that's got to be the fundamental mission if you want to hack reality. it's not easy but it's do able. eventually you get to a point where it becomes easy. letting go is part of this, as you hack reality you have to let go of parts that don't serve or nourish you.
i'd make a dreadful killer, it's not in my nature but i can handle myself if i have to. the point is to avoid this situation as much as possible. avoid anyone who can't control their impulse to violence, usually a good sign is witnessed by the ability these people may have in letting go itself. knowing when to let go is a subtle skill just like knowing when to hang on.

the world is in the edge, kali yuga, apocalypse, it's all quite beautiful in it's weird choreography. it's insane paradox. the strange commentators and polarisation of the masses into the inevitable good and evil. i'm a libertarian, no govt. no authority has any right to direct me in pursuit of my thoughts or thinking. i choose freedom as an individual and freedom for my brothers and sisters. that excludes the freedom to harm anyone else.
the only way through this is to have a connection with our magnificent creator, and trust there is purpose to everything. in order to create something, another thing has to be destroyed. in order to draw a picture with a pencil, the lead is transferred thus the pencil shrinks. energy in this universe cannot be destroyed only changed. death is inevitable and therefore fear of death is pointless. i would like to stay around and enjoy the ocean, the trees, the feel of a woman's body next to mine. i want to live. but more than that is i want to live free.
this morning i watched a kingfisher sit in my garden, i spoke to it and it listened. it really was a beautiful creature, it's face expressive and it's body vibrent and the tinge of blue shone in the morning light, as it conversed with me. the birds in my garden are quite magnificent and have established a relationship with me. except for those pesky loud freaking small ones who just disrupt and make a discordant racket. there is not just peace here but wisdom in the birds. they trust me and have become friends, thus i become part of their environment, the environment. that's how greens or environmentalists need to understand the world, in terms of ecology. the mindless destruction of art is anti human, and the very idiots that do this are to stupid to understand they are funded by oil, petrol and gas who directly financially support them as it keeps the price of old energy high and increases profits. all this while they move towards another form of energy which is just as dangerous and unhealthy for the ecology.
all this happens as we are trapped by an emotional reaction over a rational response. people don't know how to think, they have outsourced thinking to the internet or smart phones, pop stars or scientists in the pay of governments, tv advertisements and the spill over effect of peer pressure. there are very few brave individuals left. it used to be people could speak freely and the principle was attacked not the person, now it's the person, that's how dumb things are. welcome to the witch trials, now watch them burn or drown. cheer and celebrate until they come for you.

over the last few weeks i have been assisting a scientist conduct an experiment with a ouji board. we met a few weeks ago and got along quite well, his obvious interest in occult and parapsychology was science based so we shared a few stories and background experiences.
he rented a studio where he unveiled the board, brand new and set it up under camera and lights, he wore a blindfold, i was there to make sure it was all kosher and to open the ceremony.
we did this for a period of three weeks.
the results were inconclusive but there were some very strange events that occurred. his body began to shake, we got some spelling but as the sessions were timed never enough to complete anything meaningful. he reported a few peculiar sensations.
anyway, that's what i have been up to.

kayne went on to say he was angry and exhausted and was lashing out at the way he had been exploited in his contracts and generally in the entertainment industry the managers, lawyers and agents who were mostly jewish and had ripped him off. he apologised and went on to say in an incredible interview with piers morgan he must have caused a lot of hurt and confusion to jewish people and he wanted to hug them all and asked forgiveness.

no sign of sunglasses.
i take a shower and then coffee before i can feel half human, tiredness creases up my eyes, slightly bloodshot and something acutely out of whack . jesus i have not slept well for a few days. my brain races with a million ideas, it's so overwhelming i can't single one out from all the psychedelia.

mmm, sara gran wrote to me, (okay not to me directly but to her fan club) she wants to recommend a book, and i'm so excited i can't stop pondering what it would be. i can't imagine, all i think about is fucking her while she reads me her manuscript of her next novel. i know it's weird but she just lights me up. the fact she wrote some of the scripts from berlin station is icing on the cake. how can you better that man.
tomorrow i'm in the surf, i hope conditions are reasonable, all i want is a good wave. the forecast is favorable, an early morning surf into the sun. breakfast at the surf cafe, and my head in my 'robots' book, it's shaping up to be a great weekend. in the afternoon i have to do some baking and make a new supply of edibles, mission control is looking good, might even mop the floors and polish them while i play my new kilbey and kennedy album loud.
i don't really wanna do anything to social, my head hurts from people.

god save her man, look she's dead and we should not talk ill of dead but to be honest it's impossible not to. let's see. i have lived out of the uk for about 34 years, i never liked or felt anything for the uk as my home country, it was a place i was born. i liked london in 1977 to 1980 and then discovered life elsewhere. america, europa, asia all held more allure and fascination for me than the downright glum english take of reality. empire and all that stuff, the class system, the dull grey middle class management, the establishment, the bbc, the fucking hypocrisy of the guardian and the left, the dumb morons on the right, it was never for me. i rejected it all. the only thing the uk had going was the music was good, the beatles, the stones, bowie as was the humour.

so the days have fallen, hard upon the spike and in the garden, all that bloomed withers and returns from whence it once came. ashes to dust, to the mote in a gods eye, as time plays it's fiddle, a foreboding accompaniment to a man on fire, a strange little lust for life as twilight descends upon the sunset of reason, i sip my cocktail and watch embers soar upon ideological thermals that once burned so bright, now burn away to reveal the darkness. i smoke my joint, i sip my tea, i can't tell the difference between time and memory.

kooky didn't even come close.
i get to the cinema an hour before the movie starts, i am uncertain how many people will turn up and even if there will be tickets left. i guess i thought every one loves bowie as much as me.
avoca has a beautiful little cinema, it's right on the beach, has a lovely little shop and a coffee area where you can sit outside and relax, which is what i did. i had taken my book with me, and some bowie tunes were being blasted out hidden speakers. i'm sitting there sipping a perfect hot chocolate when two people ask if they can join me, one a huge rocker called rod, and his friend a very friendly blonde lady who sits next to me and starts chatting away. i put my book away, and try not to look at her in any sort of lecherous way, but i am a male and she is pretty gorgeous. she smells nice to and has these very alluring eyes. anyway she's quick to tell me she is with her friend, and i figure he is obviously a good friend as he runs around doing her bidding. she invites me to sit with them at the back of the cinema, which is perfect. i wanted the back seat.
when the movie starts, my hash cookie kicks in and i know i'm in trouble as the audience all falls into a very serene quiet and my companions start chatting loudly, moving around, dancing and clapping their hands. let me tell you the back row got raucous. then the blonde lady decides to slide in next to me, grab my hand and start swaying as bowie sings a classic. we end up exchanging numbers but not names, although i show her my name and right at the end of the night she shares her's.
the actual moonage daydream documentary is good, it's just bowie talking all the way through and he is very philosophical and wise. i like what he says, through various phases in his life. he's always been cerebral and explored pushing boundaries, i loved his take on his own output at the height of his fame and commercial success. there were some great mixes of songs, stems that fugue into others, isolated parts and clips of live performances against a backdrop of documentary footage. a lot of stuff i have seen before on you tube.
look it's going to be a challenge making a film about bowies life, you could make several about different stages and facets of his output, but to attempt to contain bowie in one single film is impossible. so credit where it's due, they did a good job here, especially as they seemed to follow bowies spiritual pathway, as a uniting theme that links his works. and when you discover that the director also faced a life / death situation while making the film i guess you begin to appreciate the path the biography takes.
at the end of the movie i work out that my new friends are probably quite drunk and the cute blonde lady says loudly, 'i never did very well when i was in rehab.' loud enough for a few people to hear. i laugh, not at her but because i liked that she said it. it was very disruptive in a way, shocking i guess but it was funny. outside we share a joint, she tells me her name, invites me to a gig and sends me a text, 'LETS DANCE.'.
yeah there was my evening, kooky to say the least. i was planning an introspective intimate emotional evening with bowie, but instead i get a buxom blonde nymphet with alluring eyes and a great smell.

verily, in the middle of mid apocalyptic dystopia the sun streams through the blinds, the spread of light filters across my office and i listen to my messages. birds are alarmed, insects are in fear as humanity takes a sharp turn to the left or right, it don't matter, you are fucked unless you are cashed up or have a property with water, food and guns. they are coming for you. but there's only one way out and that's through. straight through with love and compassion and some krishna energy.
i had big plans today, people to see, places to go, new experiences. however a sudden change in atmospheric conditions in and out influenced me to keep the day to myself in isolation. immediately my phone starts ringing, one person after the other so ironically i don't get much time alone. anyway i chat for a while, listen mostly. even my mum and i communicate over skype- o-matic,and we have the most agreeable conversation. wow!
anyways after the calls i discover the new bowie film, 'moonage daydream' is on at avoca, so i plan a night with bowie, i mean i have to see this one right? all i know is it's going to be, emotional.
then i feel the hash cookie come on and i start panicking in case i forget to see the movie while looking for a pair of scissors while caught in some sort of time vortex that hides in my kitchen. ah, play some music i think, a bowie cd, but then i get trapped in indecision, which one.
okay i can see it's a kooky day.

next i'm at sydney airport, i have just checked my bags in and walk through passport control into a huge shopping area where i notice a large cafe. i head to get myself a coffee and notice an ex girlfriend there. i try to avoid her but she has seen me and starts following me.

i don't know, it's not much that gets me out these days but here was a much needed event, a shot in the arm, a deep fix for a stoned pessimistic captain mission, jonesing for something fucking alive and vital. energy fixes i need:
plant medicine and cosmic thinking
the ocean and its waves on my body
sex and love with beautiful women
good stimulating thought provoking books
the church
