In Pursuit of God’s Glory

You may find this read from Gary Sharpe valuable. The comments thread is excellent. People are thinking. At least some are: https://garysharpe.substack.com/p/are-we-no-longer-just-consumers-but Donna and I were discussing how that the main target of all this was really the children. Capture them, and you win the day. 44 vaccinations. Heck lets make it 90. Nonstop from birth to death, as we lower potential lifespans for the entire human race, and decrease natality in developed nations. Meanwhile, the under developed breed to the moon, resulting in a new slave class. In the grade schools, negate dichotomous sexuality and pervert understanding of the

Understanding Motivation: Covid 19 Reality Series

I saw this view one day while doing some long lens work at Pipeline. I know many of the surfers in this frame. I like them a lot, and care about what happens to them. Joel Tudor is amazing. Way more to that man than most will ever know. Then there is Bethany. I first met her one day at Off The Wall as she and Mike Coots, another shark attack survivor, were getting ready to paddle out. Housing in hand I had actually teased them a bit about the missing limbs. Each absolutely floors me with their heart

Illusion: COVID-19 Disaster Scenarios

The following piece is taken verbatim from a conversation between one of my long time friends, Dr Ed Brenegar, who I met while working in Seth Godin’s online group Triiibes, many years ago. Illusion: COVID-19 Disaster Scenarios Ed and I had been discussing this recent succinct analysis by veteran Investigative Journalist Jon Rappoport titled : Covid, the Projection of a Mass Illusion. We each had found the piece precisely accurate in examining: “What really is going on here?” “In looking around the room in recent days, I suspect that it may not be able to matter,

Trust Us: COVID-19 Reality Scenarios

Ages ago, after Mark Foo had died at Mavs, I spent a season up in HMB w Jeff Clark. We were on every swell. As I turned my work in to the magazines I worked for, not many wanted anything to do with it. Why? “He (Jeff) stands funny. Looks like a kook.” Keep in mind that he was facing the wave going both directions and it was Mavs at massive size. I pointed out to a couple of my editors that Jeff recently had surgery to remove bone spurs, and that what he did out there was exceptional. In

Bali Journal, Week 2

We left Ubud by taking a winding route by our friend Gusti’s home, and then made our way out to the shore of E. Bali to spend a bit of time at the beach, as well as catch up with Michael Lorenti, a fellow member of 1% for the Planet with his company Sensatia Botanicals. Ketut, and her husband Willie drove u,s and we made sort of a family type outting of it, with the four of us. The tempo of life while being much more leisurely here, is pretty intriguing on several levels, especially when we got to have

Ocean Ohana: Guardianship

The other night my wife and I were at a friend’s home in Ojai. A bunch of us regularly get together and cook for each other. An eclectic mix of artists, musicians, scientists, researchers, doctors and ex or current military operatives, we spend the evening into the night, just enjoying the fok out of each other, and strangely enough, in spite of the laughter, challenges to each other’s knowledge bases, great food (each person is a remarkable chef-cook) and some interesting wines, we actually learn stuff that can be carried with us from that point onward. One such gem which

A Faithful Paradigm

A close friend sent me a story about a researcher who was suing to get a university job position restored, after getting fired for being different. Here is that news piece. Nothing remarkably enlightening about the story. But as is frequently the case, the informative bits are found in the post article commentary left by readers, who for the most part are more concerned with the deployment of ridicule on the researcher, than the larger question of illegal termination of the man due to discriminatory bias and personal agendas of school staff. In fact, it appears that not only

Breathless

Is not the same as being full of life. The word Ha’ole in Hawaiian translates roughly as being without breath. When we come into this world, it is the first thing we do, draw breath. As we leave, it is the last. We expel it. I have long seen it evidenced that the heart and soul of culture can benefit deeply by being connected to Nature, especially through water. It is both breath and life. This is why indigenous cultures consider themselves to be a vital part of nature and the eco system. They are inseparable from it. This is
