Once I took an LSD trip at UC Santa Cruz and when I was walking thru the music department I noticed a small practice room that was half filled with balloons.

I asked a student what it was and he said it was for dancing in. So I went in and danced. The balloons bounced around and filled the room... Just another goofy thing hippies made for silly amusement. That trip started early in the morning when a student named "Organic" Kim and I each ate two small brown squares of gelatin called 4 way windowpane. The reason It was called 4 way windowpane ws that if you cut the drug into 4 pieces then 4 people could take a trip. So we ate enough for eight people. We were walking down a trail and came to an intersection of another trail and we sat down. He was upset because he thought that I was mocking him by repeating what he said in a silly voice... I didn't understand what he was feeling and when accused, I said: "Mocking you?" and that accidentally confirmed exactly what he was feeling... so we agreed to turn and follow different paths... we were at a CROSSROADS of the paths and we were at a CROSSROADS of our trip. I never saw him again except I heard him while he was taking a shower in the apartment and he was screaming... I don't know why but it could be the water was too high a temperature or it could be that he was just having a bad trip... Much later I got on the student bus that went across campus and asked the driver to let me off at "The Maze" and the other passengers made fun of me because my tone of voice sounded so stoned... Like, wow, man... the MAZE... Can You drop me off at, likke, THE MAZE? FYI: The Maze was a wooden maze constructed out of plywood sheets and I'm really glad I never FOUND the maze because it would be Hell to be stoned on Acid and Lost in a maze...

Other classmates of mine from High School attended UCSC and I wanted to also but my grades were not good enough to get into the University of California. So I went to Chico State instead. During the Senior year at Los Gatos High School our math teacher had us all join the math club and all members were called "The President" and got a certificate... That way when students were applying to Ivy League Schools, they could put down on their application thet they were "The President of the Math Club"... It was an introduction to "Gaming the System"... a concept that we would all use later in life... I remember Gaming the System when I was writing my website and wanted the Google search engine to make my website popular... I uploaded every tag and keyword from every blog post into a blog post that had a menu of my most popular posts. That way, whenever a person typed anything that had those keywords into the Google search engine, my blog post would appear as a result. That trick got me about a thousand visitors a day... I was Gaming the System and doing what they call SEO, Search Engine Optimization.

Rainbow Infinity Sign in the Redwood Forest - by gvan42

My Experience With Smoking Marijuana was that I Stayed High for ONE MONTH after Smoking a Pound of Oregon Legal over an Eight month period. Then I Quit entirely because I Wanted to Go on a Driving Vacation in California and Nevada where Weed is Illegal... and I Remembered to NOT Possess Illegal Drugs in My Van While Touring... I Meet a Lot of COPS while Sleeping in the Van... and then I went to the Hospital for an Infected Blister on my Foot and they Tested My Blood for THC... and I Still Tested Positive a MONTH Later! AmaZING!

During that Month I Experienced Events That Did Not Happen... It's Called Cannabis Psychosis... and It's Interesting!

Marijuana Tourism - my trip to Washington State, The Space Needle, The Experience Music Pavilion and then Oregon. As legalization spread across the USA I wanted to experience LEGAL weed as soon as possible. When I retired from work I did a lot of driving around sleeping in the back of my VAN... I was like a turtle with my home on my back. First I drove to Utah with my friend Mike Jensen to attend the Rainbow Gathering... After we were done with that I took a drive to Washington State to experience the Legal Weed. On the first visit I was unable to find any... I asked some local kids and asked for directions but there were very few stores and they were often closed... On the Second Trip I picked up a hitchhiker who had some hash oil and he gave me some as a thank you gift for picking him up in the rain... Later I decided to go home and attend the Kinetic Sculpture Race at home but... and this is a big but... I smoked some hash oil... then I got onto Highway #5 and I accidentally put the van into gear #2 and turned on the radio... When I hit 70 miles per hour the transmission exploded and then the engine caught fire... OOPS! I pulled over to the side of the freeway and said the Serenity prayer... I walked down the freeway and over to a Lumber Mill. The security guard called me a tow truck and I was towed to a motel... I had the van towed to an auto repair place where they said it would cost $8,000 to repair my Ford Windstar. I paid $3,000 to buy it used so I decided it was Uneconomical to repair... Eventually I gave it to the Humane Society as a donation to help animals. I did not allow this disaster to interfere with my vacation. I rode the AMTRAK to Seattle, Bought and ate TWO Marijuana Cookies, drank some of that rocket fuel coffee and rode the Monorail to the Space Needle and the Jimi Hendrix Experience Music Pavilion. (also a Nirvana Museum) Both musicians lived near Seattle. They had a musical instrument for tourists to play... It was 20 Tubular Bells that random people could whack with pool balls hung from a wire. VERY popular with children. I loved it too. Then I rode the Monorail to downtown Seattle Business District and arrived at Quitting Time on a Sunny Friday afternoon. The first big weekend of Spring. I was impressed with the JOY of the office workers and the BEAUTY of the Secretaries. One effect of a heavy Cannabis Dose is that it makes women appear more beautiful... I really had to piss and was in the center of the city with no public bathrooms... so I peed my pants... I didn't care. I stayed at motels for a few weeks and walked, rode the train, rode the bus and taxi and eventually got home. Quite a tricky walkabout. I enjoyed the friendship of kids in Centrailia, Washington... Great People! Then I bought another Van for $3,000... I wanted to not only experience LEGAL WEED but I wanted to Vote with my Money and reward Washington State politicians who voted for Legal weed. The next year Oregon legalized Marijuana, Then Nevada and California... Soon... the entire USA.

and JJ Jim Johnson Posted of Facebook:

I have covid madness. Too much time sitting around thinking. Pondering things that bother me and I can’t seem to reconcile. Today, I am obsessed with racism. If you actually read this lengthy post, please comment.

I have friends of every race, culture and background. Guess what. I like them all. And I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t also like them. I’ve had students of all sorts of backgrounds and guess what, I really like them too. We’re not the same. Some of their music I don’t really like that much. Some of it I love. But I can say the same of opera, musicals, rock, hip hop, metal, soul, country, pop, gagaku, and many others. There’s sitar music that is absolutely fab.

When I see a black person, I don’t see ugly. When I see a chinese person, I don’t see ugly. Korean, Mexican, Italian, Indian, African and on and on. I don’t see ugly. I don’t have a fear of black, brown, yellow, green blue or white. That stuff doesn’t normally occur to me. In fact, quite the opposite. I see beauty in every race and religion, culture and origin. And I like it.

But today, I ask, what is racism. What is the difference in a causal conversational reference to race or culture and outright, overt racism? Where does the line cross? Where does being politically correct fail and racism begin?

I totally get the American version of racism, slavery and cannot even understand that thought process, not even a little. I will never understand the point of it, except my recent ramblings on fear based lives…

I know why there were slaves. I know that the systemic racism that exists today is a plague, as bad, maybe worse than covid because it happens every day of ever year for decades, for centuries. It’s nauseating to me, because I now my non white friends have to deal with this every day. Every damn day. I have never tolerated it. And I will fight. I am adamant if I see that shit going on, someone will be on the ground, begging me not to end them. I suppose I am more violent about this than I should be but I picture it as me, or my daughter or son, mother, father, spouse… If someone did that, they would have to stop and suffer. Yeah, I might get arrested but at least I didn’t tolerate it. I can say without hesitation, if I have been there with George Floyd, I would have stopped that fucking bastard Chauvin with force if necessary. I’ve always been that way.

But today I have a dilemma.

I don’t use the N word. I find it used by the soulless and intended to hurt. But when I hear the word sagging, spelled backwards being said by someone, it bothers me immensely. I wish they wouldn’t but it still is a contemporary cultural slang that has taken hold. But now, what if I hear a white person say it, or an Asian or Mexican or Indian or or or…

How am I supposed to react?

If I say it, am I encouraging racism?

Am I being racist?

Why is it ok for my black bud to say it?

Why is it ok for my back buds to say to me, JJ my nnnnn? BTW, I do not take offense because I look at it the way it was intended, as a term of endearment, and fact is, I appreciate them being comfortable enough around me to say it. I actually love them for it and appreciate that they would. I know, weird but true. And I know I could say it back, but I am hesitant. Because of culture, racism, perception.

So there’s my dilemma. Where does it become racist? Defined, as the systematic and systemic oppression, segregation, categorization and so on. But let me ask this. What about when an Asian says something like that to a Mexican or Indian? Or the opposite? Is that also racist? And what if an Asian says that to a white, or a black says that to a white? I understand that the black experience in American with this shit is so profound and is still so incredibly bad today that there is a predetermined urge to think of racism as white against black. But does it also exist with any other minority? How about male/female or even older/younger?

And finally, this comes to me today because of an experience. Take this example and let me know.

A white person, an absolutely non racist BLM supporting white person gets cautioned about saying “n***a” in the workplace. Not in the context of black person but in referencing a song on the playlist that goes “Bag a Six Figga N***a”. A customer hears it and complains. In conversation with other employees about the complaint, mentions the phrase “Bag a Six Figga N***a” and mentions that they need to fix the playlist because a customer complained.

In another similar case, someone has an artifact of something bad that happened and emblazons BLM on it. Later, someone complains. Who is right? Where does the line exist. BTW, the person complaining in both cases was black.

How do I reconcile this, right wrong what? It’s confusing.

Like I mentioned, I would like your comments on this. I’m serious. It’s bothering me a lot.

and I responded... Yep... I was Raised to Not Be Racist... So I Bought a Condo in a Black Neighborhood because the PRICE WAS 25% Cheaper than the Exact Same Condo in a White Neighborhood and I Preferred to TAKE THE DEEP DISCOUNT. Oxon Hill Maryland... about 3 Miles from South East Washington DC - The Murder Capitol of the USA. Now that Honor Goes to East Palo Alto or the South Side of Chicago... ALL BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS... Facts - Reality - Racism is Accurate.

Almost Everything that Has Been Accomplished Was Done by Great White Men... If you don't recognize any of the people on this list, just Google them... and be glad that Great White Men invented Google, The Internet, Computers and Electricity. https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2017/09/great-white-men-did-you-ever-notice.html

Let's Lay Off Half of the Police and Refund their Salaries to the Taxpayer. Actual Crime is Down. What we have is Bored, Armed People with Nothing to Do... A Recipe for Disaster!

Avoid hangovers forever by switching to marijuana
Trey Gowdy purple64ets gvan42

Why not Create Psychedelic Art Instead?

For Safety... Since ACTUAL crime is down... and Marijuana is Legal... Why not retrain the police to do something useful with their lives? They CAN become productive members of society. They could work as teacher's assistants in Elementary School. Tutoring Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.

The DEA says Heroin is as safe as Marijuana. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. THEY ARE LYING. Heroin is VERY dangerous and often Fatal.

Schedule I drugs are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote. http://www.justice.gov/dea/druginfo/ds.shtml

Those "Brain on Drugs" advertisements seemed absurd to me... Until I understood that the Prohibitionist's marketing department had an impossible task... When you have The Beatles singing "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and Led Zeppelin buying a "Stairway to Heaven" ... gee, how do you compete with that?

This is your brain on Photoshop. Any Questions? Sure, why did they design their program to make psychedelic art so easy? Did they realize that there is a MARKET for psychedelic art and simply give the customer what they want? Who knows... I'm sure glad they did...

Thanks for the functions...

Working at Domino's Pizza as a Delivery Driver in Fort Washington, Maryland and Mount Vernon, Virginia for five Years in the Late 1980s and Early 1990s...

One time when I was laid off from a Drafting Job, I was Loafing around the Condo in Oxon Hill, Maryland and Eating a Lot of Domino's Pizza. The Guy Delivering the Pizza offered me a Job as a Driver. When Unemployed, The Correct answer to that question is Yes...

I worked there for 5 years at The Fort Washington Store run by a Black woman, Angela Powell. An Air Force Brat that Lived on Andrews Air Force Base with Her Sister and another Black Lady. There were other Store Managers... for example: Stosh, a Russian Immigrant.

There was a Giant Map of our delivery area on the Wall so We Could Find the Exact Location we were driving TO. We wrote instructions about how to find houses that were tricky... For Example, Many Houses Had no House Numbers on them or some people wanted you to go around back and knock on the basement door... Because the Landlord Lived in the Upstairs House and they were renting out the basement. We had a Rule that the Pizza had to be Delivered within 30 Minutes or the Customer Got $3.00 Off. The Delivery area was designed so every home was within 20 Minutes of the Store. There were some areas in the Forbidden Zone... Places we would NOT deliver to because of the Danger from Armed Robbery. We Would meet those customers in front of the 7/11 on the corner...

In General, it was a High Pay Job. We Got Minimum Wage, 18 cents per Mile and Tips. That added up to about $15.00 an Hour. What the flaw with this way of earning a living is... You Wear Out Your Car and Can't Work Anymore after it Breaks Down... The 18 cents a mile is supposed to pay for Gasoline and Repairs... But it Does not Pay for replacing the entire Car... OR... If you get in a Car Wreck, You Can't Work Anymore because Your Car is wrecked... and you are Unemployed, in the Hospital and in General... F*CKED... All these UBER Drivers Nowadays are in the Same Boat.

We had Two Armed Robberies When I Worked There. One Trouble with That Business is PILES OF CASH! Maybe $3,000 a Night. The Drivers were all given a Locked Box on the Wall of the Pizza Parlor for us to Drop any Extra Cash after a Delivery. Supposedly, We were Never to Have more than $20.00 in our pocket during a delivery... to make Change from a Cash Sale. Everything was Cash at that time... Late 1980s... No Cellphones, No GPS.

One Night, When I was NOT There, A Man Came Up to the Front of the Pizza Parlor Waving a Pistol. The Manager Quickly Locked the Front Glass Door. The Robber Fired the Gun and the Glass VANISHED! into a Pile of Broken Glass on the Floor. The Robber asked for Money and the Manager Gave Him Everything in the Cash Register... Help Yourself! What the Robber Did not Know was the Vast Majority of the Cash was still in our individual lock boxes... SO, Obviously, The Robber was NOT a Former Employee...

Another Night, The Manager took ALL the Money and Drove it to The Bank where he Planned to Put it in the Wall... a Masked Man with a Gun said... Give me that Bag... and Took Off... Every Night at about 3:00 AM the manager Drove the Deposit one Block to the Bank... That robbery was Probably Committed by a Former Employee... Because He Knew The System.

On a delivery I Met a woman named Betty-Lou and She Moved Into my Condo and we lived together raising her daughter. She was an Obese White Woman with a Half Black Child.

Eventually I quit that job due to Murders of Delivery Drivers at the Capitol Hill Pizza Parlor... I delivered in a suburb that is populated by Black Government Workers and other Black Professionals. We Did Have a Yacht Club. Many of the Homes Had Waterfront Access on the Potomac River. Vast Wealth. G Gordon Liddy (of Watergate Fame) Lived in Our Delivery Area but Always Came Into the Store to Pick up his Pizzas. We were all warned to Never Accidentally Get lost and Turn down the Long Driveway to His Home.

On Most Mornings I Smoked Marijuana before Going to Work. I did win a Safe Driver Award. $500.00 for No Accidents, No Tickets... On Friday and Saturday Nights I Would Often Work 13 Hours... Lunch, Dinner and Past Midnight...

After the first Murder I switched to delivering in Mount Vernon, Virginia and Fort Belvoir. A Safer (Whiter) Neighborhood.

Delivering to the Secret Army base was interesting. On sunny days they enforced security protocol and I was not allowed into certain buildings. However, if it was snowing, the guards just ignored security because it was cold outside... I Delivered to The Barracks, The PX, The Base Hospital and the Majors Street... Fancy Houses for Majors... an Officer's Rank.

That Delivery Area also Had The Mansion at Mount Vernon. I Delivered often to The Park Rangers at George Washington's Home. In that same neighborhood there were MANY Old Mansions... Built in the 1700s and Still Owned by the Same Families. I Delivered to the Culpepper Family... They Have a County Named for them...

On another Occasion, I took my Mom and Dad to see Mount Vernon as a Tourist Trip and On the Way Back it started to Rain... That Area is in a Very Humid Climate and It Rained so Hard I Couldn't Drive my Car... so I Pulled off the Side of the Road and Waited Five Minutes... and the Rain Ended!

On Yet Another Occasion, My Brother Martin, His Wife Patti and Daughter Nicole came to visit and we went out for Pizza at a Restaurant on Connecticut Ave... It Had Outdoor Seating... and there was a Thunderstorm Nearby... This was the VERY FIRST TIME My Niece Nicole (age Eight) had Experienced Thunder... She Freaked Out but we Calmed her Down. She grew up in SoCal and they Just Don't Have Massive Tropical Rainstorms there...

After the Second Murder of a Dominos Pizza Driver in Washington DC I drove to California... Crack Cocaine caused insanity among the residents and there was a lot of Gun Violence. I abandoned the Condo and the Mortgage company foreclosed.

My Dodge Omni Automobile Had No Brakes or Heater. If I wanted to Stop the Car, I Pulled up on the Parking Brake... I Also used Votive Candles to Warm the Car. Of Course, the Heat from the Engine did keep my feet warm even without the Fan Blowing... So I was Driving thru Tennessee and it was late at Night and Snowing so I Pulled into a Rest Stop and Lit a Candle and Went to Sleep. I Woke Up a Couple of Hours Later FREEZING... So I Drove on Down the Road to Heat up the Car... With 18 Wheelers Spraying Slush on my Windshield... Scary! and I Drove Coast to Coast... Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and Finally... California... The First thing I Did Coming Back to California After Living on the East Coast for 12 Years was... Buy a Carl's Jr. Star Hamburger...

GOP Revolt: Support for Czar Donald starting to Crack. Police Chiefs, Joint Chiefs and Boy Scouts abandon Trump.

During Trump's worst week ever (SO FAR), the Police Departments nationwide say that they will not encourage Police Brutality on suspects. People are innocent until they are proven guilty in a court of law. That's how the USA is better than the USSR. We have Liberty AND Justice for all. NO ONE thinks that officers should punish people they arrest. Didn't Trump notice Rodney King and the subsequent LA Riots?

Trump also has been whining about how AG Jeff Sessions shouldn't have Recused himself from the Russia-Trump investigation. Well, the LAW is crystal clear, Session has to recuse himself from an investigation on himself. People nationwide agree that it was a good idea to obey the LAW.

The US Military refuses to obey Czar Donald's tweet forbidding transgenders from serving in the Military. Joint Chiefs of Staff say: "Sir NO Sir. We will NOT obey that order."

Rush Limburger and FOX NEWS abandon Trump too... They supports Attorney General Sessions. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/07/26/rush-limbaugh-calls-out-trump-over-his-attacks-on-jeff-sessions/23049840/

Billy Answered: " I Don't Worry About Stuff Like That. Being a White Male, All That Discrimination Talk is Not Interesting to Me. It's Like Rap Music... Endless Complaining About How Life SUCKS For Black People... Valid, True, Accurate BUT... I Just Couldn't Care Less..."

Interesting Leader: Steven Dinan of The Shift Network. His Book: Sacred America, Sacred World. Fascinating Ideas about HOW TO Move the Entire Human Race a Giant Leap Forward... to build a more wise, balanced, loving, enlightened world.

and My Term Paper about the Book "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz...

https://theshiftnetwork.com/

Steven foresees a Major Upgrade to American Democracy. Trump is Exposing the "Horror Show" of Obsolete Ideas of a Time Long Ago. "Father Knows Best" is a nostalgic and quaint TV Show but not relevant today. By Outraging the vast majority of the people, Trump is Motivating us En Masse to build a Better World. We can Guide Humanity to the Next Level... Liberty, Equality, Justice for all... "We the People" can trigger Global Awakening... Equal Opportunity... Blending the Wisdom in the Capitalist System with the Wisdom of the Democratic Socialist System. The Best of Different Approaches. Learn from other people's examples... Finland's Education System. Scandinavian Ecological Theories... Really... "Raking the Forests" (removing fuel - dead trees) to prevent wildfires.

Spiritual Practitioners often refuse to participate in Politics. Denying the Nation of their Wisdom... That allows low level humans to be the winners by DEFAULT. Those of us who are Interested in Doing Good often decline Power Trips.

Ironically, the TERM "Do Gooders" was written by People in order to Ridicule Morality so that no one will notice that They themselves are in favor of EVIL as a way of life.

"Conservatives" often promote any idea that they are Paid to promote by the Corporate-Corporate Welfare State. The Government provide Subsidies to fund certain businesses... Like OIL, Plastic, and Nuclear Power. That's Corporate Welfare!

It's the West Coast's JOB to pioneer IDEAS... We are all the children of people who got in wagons and left the East Coast and the Mid West and so... The Pioneer Spirit is Still Alive and That's Why Silicon Valley is on the West Coast and Seattle has Microsoft, Amazon and Costco employee owned store... The exact opposite of WALMART.

The Shift Network is Gridwork of Light Connecting and Interlinking Awakening People - America 7.0 - An accelerator to move the Human Race a Giant Leap Forward. Esalon Intitute Ideas at a Lower Cost and Bigger audience using The Internet. Big Sur for People all over the world. End the War Games and rehire those people in useful tasks. Survival of the Species is our Goal.

A little child will lead us... Greta Thurnberg... poster child of Climate Change Defiance... When we burn fossil fuel, we are killing that little Scandinavian Girl. The Shift Network's Goal Influencing 100 Million People in the next five years. One Candle Flame can Light a Million other Candles. You have Your Candle, I Have Mine. Becoming Evolutionary Agents for Humanity. We are all here to grow and expand to Higher Levels of Consciousness and become Visionaries...

He Cites Heidi Harmon the Mayor of San Luis Obispo... She could be Crucial in Training those Cal Poly Students in Appropriate Technology...

Evolutionary Growth of humanity to the Next Level... Share the Wisdom. Global Awakening is Real and Happening Now.

BOOK REVIEW:
Infused with visionary power, Sacred America, Sacred World is a manifesto for our country’s evolution that is both political and deeply spiritual. It offers profound hope that America can grow beyond our current challenges and manifest our noblest destiny, which the book shows is rooted in sacred principles that transcend left or right political views.

Filled with practical ideas and innovative strategies honed from the author’s work with over 1000 luminaries via his company, The Shift Network, Sacred America, Sacred World rings with a can-do entrepreneurial spirit and explains how America can lead the world toward peace, sustainability, health, and prosperity. This vision of the future weaves the best of today’s emergent spirituality with seasoned political wisdom, demonstrating ways America can grow beyond its current stagnation and political gridlock to become a world leader in peace and progress.

Published to coincide with the party conventions and presidential debates, this book will promote a return to the sacred principles cherished by America's forefathers in order to create a “transpartisan,” non-ideological, pragmatic approach to social reform. This uplifting discussion explores evolutions in political leadership, environmental concerns, and economic reformation.

It is time to forge a bold new image of America’s future. Here is a road map for getting there.

I feel very Patriotic towards California but not much towards the USA... At least half of the country would be better if they were a Different Country. Idaho, Utah, Texas, the Midwest and the South are a financial drain on the USA... Let those states secede and stop holding us back. GTFO!

My New Book: AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS [Since 1945, The Pentagon Has Never Defended The Country, Not Even Once] by Gregory Vanderlaan

Chapter Zero. Ever since VJ Day (Victory in Japan), All of Our Wars have been Marketing Tools to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex. One time there was a Need to Defend the Country and The Military Failed Completely. Civilians took down the Airplane in Pennsylvania on 9/11/2001. Frankly Speaking, Can't We Buy Total Failure at a Lower Price?

Peyote Button Eyes - Tribute to Don Miguel Ruiz and His Book The Four Agreements

Great Books: "The Exception to The Rulers" by Amy and David Goodman... "Will" by G. Gordon Liddy... "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz... https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2018/03/great-books-exception-to-rulers-by-amy.html

Great Book: "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz

My Final Paper: Philosophy Class at the College of the Redwoods...

Don Miguel Ruiz is a Toltec Brujo from Mexico. A Brujo is an Indian that works as a Doctor/Priest/Teacher. Don Miguel is part of a line of Brujos that stretch back to the dawn of humankind. His sons carry on his work. He is also an AMA licensed M.D.

1. Be impeccable with your word.
2. Don't take anything personally.
3. Don't make assumptions.
4. Always do your best.

Starting at birth we are told what to think by our parents, schools and church. These people give us free advice to help them live out their dreams. Their advice may not be in our best interests. By telling us what to think they mold what our reality looks and feels like. Even though we do not know it, we have made agreements with them to live our life according to their rules. Don Miguel Ruiz calls this "The Domestication of Humans". Like we have domesticated horses and bent them to serve our purposes, humans have been enslaved. The first step in breaking free of the bondage that our elders have placed us in is to realize that we are slaves. Then we may reject the agreements that were made without our knowledge and write our own. These new ways of viewing reality can be to our benefit.

Instead of living our lives helping someone else accomplish their goals, we can work to help ourselves realize our own goals. We can stop living the life of a slave and be free. The people that have been programming our minds are not necessarily evil. They themselves have been programmed by their own parents, school and church and do not realize that they are carrying out the wishes of their elders. The Toltec Warrior's goal in life is to wake up and see the world as it is. We are all living in a dream world that is not of our own making. They are engaged in a battle for their
own minds.

1. Be impeccable with your word.
Do not lie. Do not gossip. Choose what you say carefully and if you
make promises, carry them out with action. If you break your promise or make a bad decision, admit your error. Words are extremely powerful. They can motivate people to take action. A powerful speech can convince a country to go to war. Even if the speech is based on lies, millions of people can be fooled into taking mistaken action. In recent history, our 'resident Bush gave a State of the Union speech and sent our nation to war with Iraq. The US Senate's 9/11 commission has shown that the basic reason for attacking Iraq was totally false. Whether he lied intentionally or was fooled by his advisors does not change the damage done to both Iraq and America. A lesson to be learned from his mistake is to be impeccable with your words. Check to see if what you say are facts are actually true. Making up falsehoods about other people can be fatal. Repeating falsehoods told to you by other people can be equally fatal. Don Miguel Ruiz says that gossip and words used with evil intent is black magic.

2. Don't take anything personally.
He recommends that you be skeptical about what other people say. They might be telling falsehoods. If you believe them then you may be fooled into taking action that is wrong. You have a responsibility to reject lies told to you. In order for a lie to be successful, two people have to work together. Both the teller of the lie and the believer of the lie must agree that falsehood is true. In our modern world, where we are bombarded by advertising, it is a required survival skill to reject lies. The goal of advertising is to make a profit for the company paying for the advertisement. Marketing people are trying to make themselves happy. They are not trying to make you happy. If you were completely satisfied, you would not come back and try to buy happiness later. Skillful marketing people promise that buying their product will bring happiness but intentionally make sure that there will always be an unsatisfied desire. We should always consider what the other person is going thru when evaluating their statements.

For example: A person may scold us unmercifully for a trivial error in behavior. If they make our "crime against humanity" seem to be extremely significant, it may be because they are going thru a crisis of their own that has nothing at all to do with you. It could be that the speaker attacking you has stopped taking their psychiatric medicine and is hallucinating. This is not an uncommon event. It could be that they have learned thru a lifetime of pretending that every silly challenge is a major crisis that "freaking out" is an efficient skill for getting their way. I have been fooled by "drama queens". The first time you witness them having a major crisis most people are sympathetic and help. After repeatedly seeing them do their act, most people are no longer fooled. The master of the "drama queen act" does their performance for new audiences in order to reap maximum benefit. We should also consider the source when dealing with other people's actions. Let us suppose that you have been arrested for smoking marijuana. It would be useless to blame the policeman for locking you up in a cage. He has voluntarily selected to make a career out of enforcing questionable laws. Whether his behavior is morally right or wrong is not significant. He has a gun and the legal right to use it. From a practical point of view, might makes right. Even when a person is doing you harm, don't take it personally because there is no advantage to doing so. Spending your psychological energy hating the policeman will poison your own mind. Put your effort into actions that will have effect. A little

prevention could have saved you a lot of trouble. Making the effort to check for dangerous people in the immediate vicinity before you light up a joint is essential to staying out of jail. Just like looking both ways before you cross the street will prevent injury due to being run over by a car, remembering to never break the law when a policeman is around will prevent handcuffs. If you choose to live a life of crime, take precautions! Realize that you have made yourself a convenient target. He would probably arrest anyone that was smoking a reefer in his presence. It was not a personal attack. His job review counts how many arrests and convictions he makes. His paycheck depends upon proving to his boss that he is doing his job. Feeding his children and providing shelter for them depends upon a steady stream of criminals. Even when people are praising us, don't take it personally. People often say "Don Miguel, you write such wonderful books". By taking this personally, he would start writing with the goal of getting praise from fans. This goal would cause
confusion in his reasoning and future books would be of bad quality. Keeping his mind focused on waking up from the Dream World allows clear thinking and writing.

3. Don't make assumptions.
Working from incomplete information and jumping to conclusions can
cause disaster in your life. Do research and find out enough accurate facts before making a decision. Remember that people might be lying to you and factor in bias when researching. A common error is to assume that other people know what you know. People often refer to a concept called "common knowledge". There is no such thing. We all have had different life experiences and learned different lessons. We actually live in completely different worlds because of the way we were raised. The parents, school and church that brainwashed me had different agendas than the ones that brainwashed you. Since we describe our world using the words taught us by our elders, our entire view of the planet is filtered by their beliefs. We are so used to our own view of the world that it is

surprising to find out that other people have never even heard of ideas that we regard as standard. A simple solution to the problem of assumptions is to speak accurately and tell the other person
exactly what you think. Then, check to see if they understood. If you assume that they understand and it turns out later that they did not, everyone suffers. Furthermore, ask them to speak accurately
and check to see if you have grasped the concepts they are explaining. Ask questions until both of you understand the subject. Communication breakdown is further degraded by the fact that many people do not speak the same language. This problem is improving as the internet spreads
worldwide and exposes vast quantities of people to English. The majority of the content on the internet is written in English and people worldwide are realizing that in order to use the power of the computer it is important to learn to read English. People that cannot read English find that the vast majority of the web pages are useless. Of course, it is possible to publish your ideas in any language but the audience is limited if you select to use non-English language. As time goes on we will find that an increasing number of people will be bi-lingual.

4. Always do your best.
Sometimes, your best may not be very good at all. If you are in bad health or confused by intoxication or distracted by gossip and lies you may make bad decisions and take bad actions. Accept this fact as an unchangeable part of history and try again. It is a very efficient way to live. All the time spent punishing yourself for past mistakes is saved and can be put to better use. It may be difficult to even remember what the four agreements are. Try again. Locate a copy of the book and reread it. Copy the words and put them on a card to keep in your wallet. You are trying to
overcome the brainwashing of a lifetime. Every time you use one of the four agreements it becomes easier to do it again. Don Miguel Ruiz says that there is not an infinite space in your mind for storing agreements. If you put a good agreement in the same space as a bad one the bad one dies. He says that the agreements we made without our knowledge have taken a life of their own and live as a parakite in our mind. We become self-domesticating animals. Our elders have brainwashed us so completely that we voluntarily brainwash ourself. We create an internal "Judge" and "Jury" to review our own actions and convict ourselves when we do not live up to impossible standards. Suppose you failed in an endeavor, the Judge and Jury would punish yourself for failure. A Toltec Warrior would simply realize that he had done his best, shrug off the defeat and go to battle again tomorrow.

I was first introduced to this book by a friend in Chico. He could not afford the price of purchasing this book. What he did was to go to Wal-Mart and read a chapter and then leave. He went for weeks reading and rereading this book. This is a clear example of doing your best. He could not organize his life well enough to get the extra ten dollars to purchase the book but found a way to get the information for free. I feel that this philosophy is a great way to live life. Each step builds upon the last. Just realizing that we have been domesticated is a great leap forward. If all we can do at this time is understand that we have been brainwashed by our elders and that they did it to accomplish their own goals, that is the best we can do today. Tomorrow we can understand this basic idea and be
impeccable with our word. By doing these two things, we can gradually kill the paracite that lives in our mind. With our new found power, it might be possible to take three steps and then four steps and then five steps. As a child, we had no choice about what agreements to make but we are adults now. We can voluntarily discard agreements that are not in our best interest. We can intentionally select to make Don Miguel's agreements or we can write our own. His agreements seem to make sense but we should be skeptical. Using his own concepts to judge the validity of his book is the best path to follow. I question his motivations before agreeing to accept his agreements. Is his main goal to sell books and make a pile of money? Does he wish to create a cult of brainwashed robot followers to do his bidding? Has his ego been so corrupted by praise that he has forgotten to not take things personally in his own life? In my humble opinion, I feel that he is living an impeccable life and is being
true to the disciplines of a Toltec Warrior. Of course, I may be wrong. I have only read this one book and his recent work may be poor quality. I've never met the man and know nothing about his personal life. However, this one book is of such high quality that if we ignore everything else he has done we will have a valid plan for life. The entire book can be reduced to a bumper sticker slogan.

THINK FOR YOURSELF AND QUESTION REALITY.

What would you do if your doctor told you that you had one week to live? Some people would spend that week bemoaning the fact and crying
"poor, poor, pitiful me". A Totlec Warrior would make the best of the time left. There would not be time enough to have arguments with people and spread gossip. Why bother with hatred? There is only a week to live and important tasks need to be done! Writing that love song for your wife would be very high priority. Calling your Mom and Dad and thanking them for giving birth to you would be important. Well, your doctor called and he has bad news. The only question is that he is not exactly
sure about the time frame. He says that it could be one week or it could be one day or it could be 80 years. He is not exactly sure about when it will happen but he is certain that you are going to die. Mexican celebrate El Dia de los Muertes to remind themselves that the future is uncertain and the end is always near. Putting your priorities in sensible order is essential to living life to the fullest. We all want to be happy. If we live our lives working to accomplish someone else's goals it is unlikely that we will be happy. We should reject their goals and create our own. We have the freedom to choose. We have the freedom to reject the reality taught to us by our parents, schools and church.

We can intentionally create our own reality by voluntarily selecting what agreements to make.

Don Miguel Ruiz selected to make the four agreements explained in this paper but you have the freedom to write your own. Why not live in a wonderful world?

A little historical background: Thousands of years ago, the Toltec were known thoroughout southern Mexico as "women and men of knowledge".
Anthropologists have spoken of the Toltec as a nation or a race, but, in fact, the Toltec were scientists and artists who formed a society to explore and conserve the spiritual knowledge and practices of the ancient ones. They came together as masters (naguals) and students at Teotihuacan, the ancient city of pyramids outside of Mexico city know as the place where "Man becomes God". In the United States, most people's knowledge of Mexican Indian culture was found in the books by Carlos Castaneda. He describes the teachings of Don Juan Mateus. Juan used native plants to awaken interest in spirituality in his students. After the student has been forced to acknowledge that there may be something totally outside their normal view of reality, the plants become unnecessary to the teaching. Carlos's first book gained public attention by his vivid descriptions of Psilocybin mushroom intoxication. His next ten books focus on the sober
experiences he had without the mushrooms. The stories aroused controversy because they described events that are clearly impossible (in the belief system of rational western culture). Critics argue about whether to put his books in the Anthropology section of the library or the fiction section. They do open the door to questions that lay outside of mainstream American thinking and for that we can only be grateful.

His books also inspired the rock and roll band Fleetwood Mac to write the song "Hypnotized". Part of Bob Welch's lyrics state:

They say there's a place down in Mexico
Where a man can fly over mountains and hills
And he don't need an airplane or some kind of engine And he never will
Now you know it's a meaningless question
To ask if those stories are right
'Cause what matters most if the feeling
You get when you're hypnotized
Seems like a dream
They got me hypnotized

His opinion is that no matter where you place the Carlos Castaneda's books in the library, The important thing is to read them with an open mind and get the feeling. Many of the basic ideas of Don Miguel Ruiz and Don Juan Mateus are similar. They appear to be derived from the same ancient wisdom. I recommend that after you read The Four Agreements you start reading the Casteneda books to help gain background knowledge. They both stress the idea that everything you take for granted about reality might be false. They both recommend that you question your fundamental assumptions and intentionally choose to create your own world. A world that is designed to accomplish your goals, not the goals of others.

Said: So I went to Historic Folsom on Sutter to participate in the Small Business Saturday and I could not believe all the people walking around in that crowd "without" masks on themselves, or their kids. So I never got out of my car.. Not sure what part of this crisis they don't get? Seriously folks this is "no longer" a Political statement...if you ever want to see this nightmare end....without the loss of yet more lives, some of whom might be next could be YOU or YOUR family members.....you need to step up and do the "right" thing and "wear a mask"....no doubt some of those already 265,000+ dead and their grieving family members wished someone they were around or in close contact with, would have considered "others"...instead of just considering themselves..

P. K. Said: I just read an article saying our ICU beds are at 75% capacity statewide. That is horrible. When the state puts in another mandatory stay-at-home order in a few weeks we can thank all the dumb fucks that don’t wear masks because of their “freedoms.” That is such a cop out and I’m sick of it. Those people only care about themselves.
