During TV Commercials, I turn OFF the sound, Close My Eyes and Say the Serenity Prayer while breathing Deeply. .

God, [inhale/exhale] Grant Me the Serenity [inhale/exhale] To Accept the things I Cannot Change. [inhale/exhale] The Courage [inhale/exhale] To Change The Things I Can, [inhale/exhale] and the Wisdom [inhale/exhale] to know the difference [inhale/exhale]

after saying it twice, I peek to see if the Commercial is over... If it's still playing I repeat The Serenity Prayer... Or if the Show is Bad, I leave the sound off for hours... I say the Serenity Prayer again and again... or until I fall Asleep which usually happens quite quickly.

Another Mantra I Say Often is Inhale "WHO" Exhale... Inhale "WHAT" Exhale... Inhale "WHERE" Exhale... Inhale "WHEN" Exhale... Inhale "WHY" Exhale... Inhale "HOW" Exhale... [Repeat... Repeat... Repeat]

and then I Read This On Facebook... SE SAID:

I know I've posted a lot about the Newsom recall election lately, but I'm just trying to encourage everyone to VOTE. A lot of people assume there's nothing to worry about because CA is a blue state, so people assume that there's no way he'll be recalled. But if we don't bother to vote, we will lose this recall. The right-wingers who are orchestrating this thing WILL vote, and they WILL get other right-wingers to vote. The rest of us NEED our votes to outnumber theirs, so that's why it's so important that we all vote NO on the recall. 

The other thing to keep in mind is this: if Newsom is recalled, we WILL end up with a Republican governor - and that governor takes over IMMEDIATELY. So as of September 14th, we will suddenly have a Republican governor UNLESS we all vote NO. There are no other Democrats running to replace Newsom. If he is recalled, it WILL be a Republican. But if we all vote NO, our votes will outnumber theirs, and we won't suddenly have a Republican governor. If you have a problem with Newsom, vote him out in the 2022 election. It's only a little over a year away. Vote him out then, but don't allow the Republicans to seize control by sitting out this recall election. 

The ballot will arrive in the mail any day now. It will include a return envelope with pre-paid postage. There will be two questions. The first question will ask if you want Newsom to be recalled, yes or no. The second question asks who you want as his replacement if you answered yes to the first question. Please vote NO on the first question. We do NOT want the Republicans to seize control of our state this way, so the answer is NO, we do NOT want Newsom to be recalled. Then, put the ballot in the envelope, seal it up, and put it with your outgoing mail. That's all you need to do. Easy peasy. 

Please do NOT sit this out. When you receive your ballot, VOTE NO, and put your ballot in the mail ASAP. This is important.

We were Chatting on Facebook when Jerry Brown (who was the Governor of California When I Wrote This Post) Said...

‘Something’s Got To Happen To’ Trump, People Must ‘Get Rid Of Him’

This has an ominous ring to it... Like a Call for someone to assassinate tRUMP. I don't think that would be a good idea... Impeach YES! But it's unlikely that the Senate will Impeach him... I do support MANY INVESTIGATIONS so that his life becomes a living HELL and he Resigns in Disgrace. Arrest Warrants for Fraud... Maxine Waters wants to Investigate Deutsche Bank... they are the only bank that would lend tRUMP Money after FOUR bankruptcies... NO US Bank would touch him.

The Washington Post Had an article: How to Beat Trump in 2020... I immediately thought "Get a Baseball Bat and Swing Away!" but That would get me on an Enemies List... Unless I was absolutely clear that Beating Trump with a Baseball Bat was Totally WRONG... Use a POOL CUE and Totally Go "Hells Angels at Altamont" on his sorry Ass...

and Then After Listening to The Saturday Night Alive for the Global Peace Tribe Show... 

I Had a 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...

If a CIA Employee Spoke to Millions of Americans and said: "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out." - Was That the DEPLOYMENT of Project Mkultra?

That's Exactly What Happened in the Late 1960s... Dr Timothy Leary (Author of the CIA's Personality Test) Went Coast to Coast Encouraging Young People to Eat The CIA's Miracle Drug, LSD and...

Stop Protesting Against The War in Vietnam...

because They Were Too Busy Being Holy Men, Saints... and Wanted to Play the Guitar all Day... and Go Live in the Country and Grow Vegetables, Weed and Children... and Make Paintings, Pottery and Tie Dye T-Shirts... Write Poetry... Etc, Etc, Etc...

and All of those Interests Added Up To NOT Being a Menace to The Military Industrial Complex... Dropping Out...

SO... Was "The Sixties" part of the CIA Project Mkultra? The Part Where they Actually USED LSD as a "Weapon" Against "Enemies" in the Hope that We Would Simply Lay Down Our Arms and Surrender... In a Way They Were Successful BUT... They Had Not Taken Into Account People Like Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Country Joe McDonald and Grace Slick... Who Used LSD to Promote The Protest Against The War in Vietnam (and The 1950's American Culture In General.)

Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics. Let Doctors and Patients Decide for Themselves what Medicine is Best... I Just Emailed My President, Representative and Senators. HERE IS HOW To Find Your Own!

Please Let Your Elected Officials Know That WE Have Had Enough of the Madness!

I Said: "Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics. Let Doctors and Patients Decide for Themselves what Treatment is Best... Legalizing Recreational Psychedelics is a Great Idea TOO.

Legal LSD Would Be Manufactured by High Quality Scientists and PURITY, QUALITY and ACTUAL DOSE would be Regulated. Often ILLEGAL ACID is Not LSD at all but some other chemical, Like DOM (STP) a Three Day Nightmare Trip... People That Buy Ecstasy Often Do Not Get Actual MDMA but get A Bizarre Combination of Methamphetamines and WHO KNOWS WHAT!

Legalize Psychedelics For the Public's HEALTH... Criminal Chemists Pose a Hazard To The People's Sanity! FDA Approved Psychedelics Would Be Better... Do It For The Kids!"

Who WAS Ram Dass? In the Sixties, He was a Psychedelics Researcher and Promoter at Harvard with Dr. Timothy Leary. Then He went to India Looking for Enlightenment and Met a Guru. Changed His Name and Published a Great Book... "Remember: Be Here Now" - It Has His Autobiography and then Many ART Drawings Explaining Eastern Religion. Real Name: Dr. Richard Alpert...

A Question asked in the Ram Dass Facebook Group...

https://beherenownetwork.com/be-here-now/

and Then he wrote a Dozen MORE Books and Gave Many Lectures... ALL WORTHY... I Especially Love "Still Here" because I'm 67 Years Old and The Question of My Own Death is Important To Me... Now... https://www.amazon.com/Still-Here-Embracing-Aging-Changing/dp/1573228710

It's Important to remember that Kermit Michael Riggs Taught Dr. Richard Alpert to BE HERE NOW. He was a Laguna Beach, CA Surfer...

I ALWAYS Turn off the Sound on TV Commercials but... Out in the Living Room of My Group House THEY DON'T... and So... On Rare Occasions I Actually HEAR those Horrible Noises...

When I was a Teenager "Mad Magazine" Published How to Build a TV Sound Mute Switch Plans... TO SILENCE TV ADS... and I Opened Up My Parents TV and Added the Button... Without Electrocuting Myself or Breaking the TV!

This Was The High Point of My Entire Electronics Career...

Now ALL TV Remotes Have a Mute Button... Mad Magazine Was Just Ahead of It's Time... (Well, DUH)

Now, I Can't Find an Image for The Mad Magazine Article about How To Build That Switch... I Tried Google Image Search but... NO JOY! If You Have a Copy of that Issue, Please Photograph the Drawings and EMAIL Them to me... gregvan(at)yahoo(dot)com...

I Really Object to TV Ads Showing Pictures of UGLY People... There are Advertisements for a Wrinkle Remover That Shows Before and After Pictures... I Have Learned to Recognize That Ad and Close My Eyes BEFORE the Offensive Images Are Shown... With the Sound Off and My Eyes Closed... That's a Great Time for Prayer and Meditation!

Step 2. Always Block His Fans on Facebook. Click on the Three Dots on the Upper Right Hand Corner of Every Facebook Post. Report them for HATE SPEECH or FALSE NEWS and Block 'Em - That way You'll Never Read CrazyTalk® Posts Again!

Step 3. It's Not Really Enough to Just Mute Trump. CHANGE THE CHANNEL. TV Networks Record Viewer Data and Look for Trends. The Nielson Ratings... Nowadays, with Digital Satellite Dishes they Can See Your Entire History of What You Watch... Every Freaking Show and Every PARTIAL Show Too. They Use This Data to Justify Prices Advertisers Pay... Like... a Super Bowl Advertisement Costs a Fortune in Comparison to "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Years AGO, KUWTK was Popular but Recently, NO ONE CARES!

Step 4. Never Post or Share Trump Centered Posts on Facebook... Sure It's Fun to Like and Share Satire Poking Fun at Mad King Don BUT... The Time for That Has Passed... The 2020 Election is Over. Joe Biden Won. The Electoral College Certified The Vote. The Only Hurdles Left to Jump are the Congress Accepting the Vote Results on 1/6/2021 and EVICTION DAY 1/20/2021. Both Events are Very Likely to Happen. and... No Matter What You Do... Whether They Happen Or Not is Totally Out of Yours and Mine Control... Unless You ___ _ ______ _____.

Step 5. Do Not Participate in any Riots in The Streets of America. Take a Break. While Bashing Heads of TrumpNiks is FUN... Getting Bashed is NOT FUN. Time Has Come to Focus Your Attention on A DIFFERENT SUBJECT. There are Plenty Of Other People Who Want to GO WILDING...
