A Nice Guy Gets His Just Desserts. A Mystery Story - and My Dream about Ram Dass

I was Opening the Mail at Our New House When... I Read this Letter.

"Dear Susan: Thank You for the Most Wonderful Night of My Life... I can Certainly See Why You are a Professional... Here's that $28 Dollars I Owe You. Let's Meet Again for a Romantic Interlude. "

~~~~~~ Thanks, John ~~~~~~

I Assumed that the Former Resident was a "Working Girl" and Since I Knew Where She Lived Now... I decided to go visit and deliver her mail in Person. Hopefully, Since I was Such a Nice Guy, She Would Service Me for Free... After All, I Could have Just Kept the Letter and The Money...

Ding Dong!

and What Happens Next? Who Know!

It's a MYSTERY!

This entire story happened to me in a dream and I Woke Up Right after I Rang the Bell... SO... Even I Don't Know What Happens!

another Dream!

We were walking towards the Entrance of the Los Gatos Library and there was a Thin Old Man dressed in a Small Bathing Suit ahead of Us. He pulled on the entrance to the Children's room and It was Locked... Disappointed, he turned around and I asked: "Are You Looking for the Man Who Works There?" He Said: "NO" and I Motioned towards the Main Entrance. We all Entered. He seemed lost so I asked: "Do you Need Help?" as I would ask any Lost Old Man... He Said: "NO" and then I asked again: "Can I Help You?" He said: "No. I'm Fine." and then we went on Our Own Ways. By That time it was Obvious to Me That he was Ram Dass and That it was a Rather "Heavy" encounter to Ask Ram Dass If I Could Help Him... a Meaningful Event... and I was Shaking... So we went downstairs and I went searching for a Book that I Has Started reading before (about Philosophy) - and on the same shelf was a large picture book of the Grateful Dead's Fare Ye Well Tour with four CDs (that were missing) and My friend asked me why I would want to check out that book and I said: "Too Look for Pictures of Myself." and then I woke up and Typed this Document... It's Best to Type it Up before I forget it... For Certain, I would have tried to help any Lost Old Man but It seems Important that I Offered Ram Dass Help in my dream. That's One Of His Main Teachings...

He Wrote The Book: Remember, Be Here Now... and THAT Got My Attention because of the ART! Here's a Picture of about a Hundred Drawings in that book...

BREAKING: A HUGE win for free speech!  For 7 years, Resolute Forest Products has sought to silence Greenpeace USA, simply because we exercised our First Amendment right to expose their destructive business practices.

We are beyond grateful the Court defended the right to call out corporations that prioritize profit > people. Because the truth is, this fight was never just about Greenpeace: it was an attempt to silence all those who speak truth to power. And we need the right to raise our voices now more than ever–against toxic chemical spills, against oil wells in our communities, and against attacks on our democracy. #WeWillNotBeSilenced  #StopSLAPPS

MindSprout Idea Factory. Forge Concepts while you Sleep. Create New Ideas While in "Another Dimension" ... It's Easy! --->Step By Step Instructions!<---

Step 1. ASK for an Idea just before you go to sleep.

{ I ask to visit an art gallery and

look at the pictures during my dream }

Step 2. When you awaken, write down the idea immediately.

{ I draw a sketch }

You MAY ask for anything to explore during your Lucid Dream.
Like: Ask for the plot to a story...
Imagine that you are in a library and you read a book...
When you awaken, quickly write down what happened...

Remember...
as you are falling asleep ask again and again and again...
"Tonight when I dream I will Visit an Art Gallery...
and When I Awaken I Will Remember
What the Pictures were about... "

Any altered state can be a rich mine for new concepts.

Sleep and Dreaming is the most practical.

You Do It Everyday... No Cost for DRUGS...

Sure, Edgar Allen Poe and

Lewis Carroll Smoked Opium to

Visit Other Worlds BUT...

Did You Ever Read their Biography?

Plato's Story "The Cave" implies a cosmic awareness type of experience. Did he Eat Poisonous Mushrooms and Dance Along the Paisley Path?

Did he Create Trippy Hippie Clothing? Splash some Red Wine, some Dirt... Instant Rainbow Spiral if he Twisted the Toga the right way... (~);-}

REMEMBER:

Global Awakening is Real and Happening Now. Before The Internet, Everyone Watched Television or Read Newspapers

and We Simply Believed the Corporate Brainwashing. They Told Us what They Wanted Us to Know. Now, Anyone can be a Publisher... and there is an alternative.

It is Very Clear that all of the Television Stations are Reporting the Same Stories again and again...

The News made us feel angry and helpless... Something was wrong but we can't do anything to help...

We were all like that years ago...

NOW WE CAN WAKE UP. It's an Option.

Photos and Story about Staying in the Fancy Hotel at Crater Lake, Oregon... It's like the hotel in "The Shining" Movie... and the Delightful Valley at the Base of the Mountain. (Fort Klamath)

Crater Lake Oregon on a Foggy Cold Day - photo taken from the Fancy Lodge - gvan42

After I retired I drove around and explored Oregon, Washington State, Nevada and Utah. At Crater Lake I stayed at an OLD Hotel that had a balcony overlooking the lake. The rooms did not have television because the hotel was a historic landmark refurbished to be like it was before the invention of TV. So I played with my digital camera taking pictures of printed materials distorted by the water in a drinking glass and drank tap water. It was very tasty because they just pump it out of the lake... So, I drank a Lot of that excellent water...

Fireplace at the Crater Lake Fancy Lodge - gvan42

That night I had a very realistic dream where I thought that I was sleeping in my Van and I woke up in the middle of the night to urinate... I got out of my Van and stood by the side of it and took a piss. Then I realized that I was not outdoors in a campground but in a fancy hotel! I was worried that I had done harm to the rug in the hotel room and dreaded getting a huge bill... I was actually worried about this for hours because the dream was so realistic... I went back to sleep. When I awoke I could not find a wet spot on the carpet... I guess that I actually went into the bathroom while dreaming... Lucky Me! Auto-pilot saved the day.

Looking Out My Hotel Room Window at Crater Lake - gvan42

So I went down to the Hotel's Desk and checked out. I walked out the front door and everything was covered with Ice. I could not walk to my car or drive it if I did get to it. So I went back into the Hotel, got some stationary and envelopes from the clerk and wrote letters to my family while sitting by the roaring fire. A lady sat next to me and said that her husband was considering moving from Buffalo, NY to Brookings, Oregon. I recommended that move highly and drew her a map of where the freeways and cities were in Oregon and Northern California. Then I ate a fine breakfast and by then, the ice had melted... So I drove around looking at the lake, parked and drew drawings in my sketchbook. I had been camping out in the van and had amused myself by drawing and listening to the radio. Great public radio stations in Southern Oregon broadcast from the University... Totally free station without corporate profits deciding what songs to play...

I tried to drive all the way home but felt too sleepy on Highway 101 near Crescent City. I stayed at a campground that looked a lot like the movie Jurassic Park- Lost World. There was a big meadow in the redwood forest. The next day I drove home.
