K Resonance

2012-01-08T09:55:00.000-08:00

Lately I have been experiencing a lot of synchronicity around the letter “K”

K is Knowledge, Knowledge is Power, Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

My name is Stephen which is the Greek for crowned one or "King" An early 2 K was my realisation of this Knowledge in relation to the horror writer Stephen King

K represents the number 1000 and "Y2K" came to refer to the year 2000 which Jake Kotze has blogged about at Y2K

Another 2 K is Krishna Konciousness which isn't a massive jump away from Khrist Konciousness (for the more Gnosticlly minded)

Perhaps the first Triple K that came into my consciousness was the K.K.K. which I heard about as a child. It was around this time i became aware of the evil that men do.The K.K.K. epitomises this and I have been fighting a battle ever since against the racism bigotry and intolerance they represent and that the letter K often evokes for me, A milestone for me in relaiming the language was the work the by the K.L.F ( K Liberation Front, K Foundation, Kings of Low Frequecy )this concept could be understood in a similar way to that where somes Gays refer to themselves as "Queers" or some "African Americans" refer to themselves as "Niggas" The theory being that by reclaiming the use of the language its takes the sting out of the words that had previously be tainted with negative conatations by "Haters"

Many suggest the KKK got its name came from the greek word Kuklos meaning circle so it essentiallly meant Circle of Brothers ( which in itself is not a "bad" name )
Then by modeling itself on the Knights Templar attempting to create for itself a historical legitimacy for its twisted views

It was the K.L.F that first introduced me to the "Illuminati" meme and the idea that the Illuminati is made up of different factions fighting for dominance this resonates with another "K" Tupac's "K'illuminati"

I also associate the triple K with The Three Kings/The Three Wise Men/Three Magii found in the Bible.

My third and final triple K is the "Kit Kat Klub" a Techno/Trance club in Germany famous for its wild parties its name was inspired by a club of the same name in London at the turn of the century which was renowned for Progressive Libertarian Political thinking

Mr C , Cyclone's / Psi Clones & C Conciousness

2011-12-30T02:07:00.000-08:00

Many years ago the DJ Mr C who was then part of the band "the Shamen" was a part of a techno rave movement that inspired me read about shamanism , meditation etc

as a DJ and musician Mr C stood the test of time creating Plink Plnk and later the End.

Around the same time I remember a friend told me about a "dream" experienced by the DJ Nik Sequenci which involved "The Knights of the round table" reincarnated as a dj's to protect an Arthur/Merlin figure, this idea always stuck in my mind

Mr C ran a club for a while call "Cyclone" and always like the wordplay on Cyclone /Psi clone

also also had a mix tape by him called "Deep C"

The "C" also resonates the scientlogists state of "clear"

and a more mainstream Christ / Cosmic Conciousness

Wilheim Reich - Orgone

2011-10-07T09:48:00.001-07:00

Lately I have found myself resonating Wilheim Reich and Orgone energy again, I was first introduced to Wilheim Reich while studying a Pscyhology degree at U.E.L. Yes I was doing the obligatory Freudian Psychoanalysis modules ,but it was a neighbour DJ Orgone that introduced me to Reich, I didn't pay a huge amount of notice at the time as he alerted me to various other things which took more of my attention, DJ Orgone had built some orgone accumilators which we positioned at various house partys ( I wonder how much effect they really had ;-) but Reich's writing faded into the background, I became interested again (ever so slightly) a few years later when I took up tai chi , concious of the similarities between "orgone" and "chi" .
Then a few years later I finally read Robert Anton Wilson "Cosmic Trigger" in which he mentions Reich.I still havent read R.A.W.s "Wilheim Reich in Hell".
A couple of months ago I was lent two D.V.D.'s on the same weekend, one was a conspiracy theory thing about Beyonce, Jayzee which started off fairly run of the mill then got increasing homophobic and nasty, the other was about a group of Neo Reichian anarchists in Brazil and something they called "Soma therapy" which uses Capoeira ( which I now practise) as part of the group therapy.
So that brings us up to date I had just reread "Cosmic Trigger" and an old Capoeira mate posted the following link on facebook , while I have long overdue mix session with DJ Orgone planned this weekend.

"Shaolin or Wu Tang" "Regional or Angola"

2011-08-10T13:38:00.000-07:00

This weeks riots in London have impacted on me deeply, I believe there have been multiple causes, but I think many of the perpetrators have rioted in attempt to assert some sort of control, whether they have done so because they felt social injustice, boredom, disempowerment or simple greed.

20 years ago I might have joined them on the demo and I might have joined in the looting (shock horror) for me it was Martial Arts that helped me empower myself ( The truth is I dont think I am that much tougher a person than I was twenty years ago) but practising martial arts has taught me many other things about myself I had not anticipated; my limitations, my capabilties, it has taught me about hierarchy and group organization, it has taught me about teamwork and loyalty , it has taught me humility, how to be assertive ( if necessary), how to relax, to pick my fights carefully and my role models and teachers even more so.

a Master once said " in the old academies you never really know who the Master is, it might be the person you least expect like the one mopping the floor" the lesson is , we can all and should learn from each other

Thanks to all who have helped me on my journey Masters and students all

Skate like a man - Off the beaten track - Culture Shock

2011-07-24T02:14:00.000-07:00

The attached image (minus the surfboad) has been a favourite of mine for years

I first encountered the image below as a kid (when i was a skater) in the adverts of "Thrasher magazine" for the skateboard manufacturers "Skate like a man" i also remember "pigdog" commenting on the adverts with relish!

Years later i encountered it again when i moved to London it was the era of Spiral Tribe and the image was used for a rave in a post west end club entitled "Culture shock" which was the antithesis of every thing i was used to.It was in this era that i used it myself for some t-shirts and a mix tape. In recent year i have noticed itbeing used (with the addition of a surfboad) as the logo for "Off the beaten track" a surf shop in St Ives. I chatted to the owner of the shop this week and he told me its an Aztek symbol - my resonance with The Aztek is chronicled elsewhere.....

2011-04-13T11:15:00.000-07:00

There have been two organisations to use the title U.R. that i have encountered over the years the first a band of intestellar fugitives I came into contact with through the Techno music emanating from an operational base somewhere in Detroit the "Undergorund Resistance".

The second disparate band of folk who practice their "Urban Ritual" in East London the Dance of Warriors - Capoeira

Promise, Loyalty, Truth

2011-03-03T12:45:00.000-08:00

Which of these values is most important ? In what order would you choose to prioritise them ? is such an abstract question absurd ?

Today I chose to put Truth first ,Loyalty second and a Promise third

C's in my Conciousness

2011-02-24T09:07:00.000-08:00

Today after a convesation about Scientology i started to experience C's on my conciousness.

The first has a connection to a blog I posted sometime ago entitled "The Deep Blue C" (Conciousness)
( note for readers of "the above", the organisers of the 2011 census have acknowledged they are expecting a signifant number of people to record "Jedi" as their religious affiliation )

Heres are some of todays "C's"

White Rabbits, Boomtown Rats, Yellow Dragons, Flying Stars & Lion Dancing

2011-02-06T04:36:00.000-08:00

This week my Tai Chi Kung Fu school "Yellow Dragon Fist" were invited to perform a Lion Dance live for the BBC's "Chinese New Year" edition of their Flagship "One Show" show, Chinese new year is always a busy time for the school with invitations to Lion Dances and alterations to the Feng Shui required (my Master is a Practioner of Flying Star Feng Shui.)
Despite various obstacles (including the car breaking down) we arrived at Television centre in good time and met Chris Evans dressed as a White Rabbit and Sir Bob Geldof the Boomtown Rat in time for the show. This was in fact my first ever time to do a Lion Dance usually I play the drum or cymbals but all went well and a link to the performance on The One Show can be found here

Clowndestine Occurences

2011-01-28T09:17:00.000-08:00

This week the darker side of clowns reentered my consciousness when a work colleague who had been read Stephen King’s “It” ( featuring the evil clown ”Pennywise” who uses balloons to tempt his child victims) was freaked out by the synchronous appearance of balloons in his back garden. This was followed up by a number off balloon and clown syncs in quick succession. Like one does when bamboozled by synchronicity he shared the experience and of course the meme was passed on, I went home to see an article on T.V about an undercover UK policewoman who infiltrated a non violent direct action environmentalist group called the Clandestine Rebel Clown Army (there’s a lot of stuff on undercover police work about in the media at the moment)

The dark side of clowns first entered my consciousness as a kid when my parents used to enter my brothers and I in an annual carnival in my mothers hometown. For the first few years we dressed in cool costumes as grenadier guards ,knights of the round table and snow white and the seven dwarves, the first year i didn't really like the costumes was when we dress as black and white French Peirot clowns, I had always associated the clown with the red nose circus big top variety and the emerging Ronald Mcdonald and had never thought of a dark side.

In my teams I read “It” watched the film and became aware of the “psycho clown” typified by Penny wise and the Joker of Batman. and even fantasied about being a pro skateboarder with my own model of skateboard with a killer clowns design.

It wasn’t until much later I made the connection with the Court Jester / The Joker in the modern deck of playing card who is represent by the Fool in the Tarot.

My knowledge of the symbolism of "The Fool" is limited but I understand he can represents the querant at the beginning of their journey to enlightenment but also the querant at the end of the journey having achieved enlightenment and a new found playful freedom bringing the querant full circle.

The Jeronimo's - Master and Professor

2011-01-27T00:29:00.000-08:00

over ten years ago i met a famous Brazillian capoeira Master named Jeroimo who now teaches Capoeira in Australia ,I did a workshop with him and always regreted not buying his book "Capoeira - A Slave Ritual"

more recently another Brazillian Capoeira teacher named Jeronimo entered our circle as a blue belt "Proffessor" I didnt take adavantage of his classes as perhaps i could of and now it seems he may be moving on.

Is there a pattern repeating here ?

Tarra Xinha - Green Tara

2011-01-05T10:14:00.000-08:00

So you know what its like when you go on holiday and a sound track presents itself

Kizoumba has been on the horizon for a while now (courtesy of Sandra and Aaron) and i'm not sure how close the rythmms of Tarra Xinha are .The Fam in Brazil were referring to Tarra Xinha as "Forro" , but that category is so wide its meaningless to me.

It also struck me as having an oriental twang so reminded of me off Green Tara

so anyway here's a Tarra Xinha track for your delight

The Fist of the North Star and Glenn Danzig vs the North Side Kings

2010-12-06T14:05:00.000-08:00

Today I saw a new blogpost referring to the Manga Film "Fist of the North Star" it reminded me of an old sync i had between the Graffiti artisr "Fist A" who was sent to prison for a number of years (which always seemed to me like an over reaction to me). The Lesbian S&M club "Fist" (which a friend of mine used to attend, but never invited me - lol ) and my Kung Fu school "Yellow Dragon Fist" of course all these sync with "Fist of the North Star" which syncs with "The North Side kings" who had a well publicised fallout with Glenn Danzig. Glen Danzig was in the Punk band "The Misfits" who in my teens I thought were "the Dogs.." ,they evolved into Samhain and finally Danzig, it was during this period Danzig introduced me to "The Nag Hamandi. and Gnosticism. I had always heard rumours Glen Danzig was an obnoxious with a big ego and the song London Dungeon was apparently written after he got into a fight and was arrested while on the Misffits only uk tour.
Well hero's I guess are fated to disappoint and the now famous "Danzig vs North Side Kings" brought everything full circle , the North side Kings were everything "Danzig" should have been.

Jungian Counselling

2010-11-27T00:38:00.001-08:00

Today I was asked if I could provide counselling for someone who has been experiencing domestic violence ,I am not currently practising but it did prompt me to think what therapeutic approach I would use and or recommend, lately I have been reading mostly Jungian psychology, the synchronicity soon took over when for completely unrelated reason later in the day I happened upon the website of an old friend who it transpires has been studying the Jungian therapeutic approach

Ne yo... Neo

2010-10-11T12:07:00.001-07:00

I'm intrigued by Ne Yo and Neo both are unafraid to show their vulnerability to the beautiful women they love and seem to struggle with their identity

Kung Fu Masters TG's and Maggots

2010-09-26T06:41:00.000-07:00

This note is gonna be deliberately obscure so is perhaps appropriately placed on my blog

Over the last few days I have a number synchonicities in close succession where i have observed multiple appearances of the same name which have particular resonance to me but in relations to different people/ event/ identities

#1 was my discovery on September 23rd of a forthcoming appearance of the original TG on 23 October a few weeks before the Halloween T.G on 31st October

#2 was the appearance a new British based Kung Fu Master named Master Simon Wong

Maya

2010-06-13T08:19:00.000-07:00

i turned up at my capoeria class this week to be greeted by a east European visitor called MAYA who was sitting outside, the first to arrive, When the person arrived to open the space she introduced her three year old daughter called Maya , and when i comment on the synchronicity she said MAYA means "close to God" in Hebrew
I first met a women called Maya many years ago at A very underground techno party , at the height of the party i accidentally wandered onto the stage near to where the DJ was supposed to be playing but the record decks appeared to be deserted , a women stopped me and asked what i was doing i said "isn't the DJ AZTEK supposed to be playing ?" and she said "yes he is !I am his dj partner my name is MAYA " my memory of this incident has always been vague as i was in a bit of a trance state , i got the feeling mistakenly that in that moment she was saying i could be the DJ AZTEK and she could be my girlfriend,( i should have been so lucky AZTEK was my DJ hero at the time )
I put this all to the back of my mind until i read the book "The Celestine Prophecy" based in South America with talks about the spirituality of the MAYAN. and of course i was introduced to the 2012 end MAYAN calendar theory by Terrance Mckenna , the proof of which plods ever closer
more recently MAYA returned when i met the tarot reader ,and self realised Goddess Srimati Maha Shakti Everlasting online
what it all means who can tell ?

The End, The Foundry, Plastic People

2010-03-14T11:47:00.000-07:00

I previous reffered in Owl Syncs to the demise of the Foundry in Shoreditch this bar ,gallery, party venue has been a feature of the shoreditch scene for nearly a decade.Its living life on the edge and may already have been sold to developers for the site of a plush new hotel ,despite a passioned plea from Bill drummond of the KLF it seems its days are numbered and attention has shifted to Plastic people which also faces a closure order well they say these things come in 3's

Last night i went to what might be my last night at the foundry featureing DJ's Wrongspeed and Orgone ,Some of my best memories of the foundry include ; being freaked out by a chaos magician in the basement at Lisa Lovebuckets birthday party,chatting to two dominatrixes about the church of subgenius the night i met hooray 23, being asked to DJ for Yellow Dragon Records and of listening to friends and meeting new ones at "Vinyl pleasures"

Life is changing for me but "The Owls" have returned, last night DJ Orgone (the new tech house sensation) reminded me of The Owl referances in Twin peaks , and today Steve Willner mentioned an Owl/Osirus connection in a podcast on Red Ice Radio while my wife is determined i post a photo of myself standing beside "owl" my parents morris minor saloon.

The 333

2010-03-04T11:15:00.000-08:00

Yesterday i saw a blog post by Goddess Glory about the 333 ,I've been resonating the 333 for a number of years but apart from the legendary "Bill Drummond's" Book "33" (which i lost about a week ago) no one else has really mentioned it to me. it started when i had dream that i had a special card which said "United states of Mind Kind - ADMIT 1 for Free" which would get me into all my favourite clubs for free"
Not long after this a long running London nightclub that a friend of mine used to attend in Shoreditch named "The London Apprentice" was closed down and reopened under new management and called "The 333" This coincided with my moving to Shoreditch and in the early days off the 333 i attended on a regular basis at the time there was a regular Hip Hop breaks night at this club which i used to attend which had a DJ named 33 1/3 other nights i attended included "OMSK" and the "Shaolin film club" at which my Kung fu teacher did a Kung Fu demostration.
I guess the other major association i have with 33 is that of the 33rd Degree Freemasons ( in those schools that have more than 3 degrees) which take us to motown and the Detroit Grand Pubahs"
So back to yesterday, which happened to be a work colleagues birthday 03 03 , i was chatting to him today and we realised the letters of the year of his birth yeard add up to you guessed it 33

white rabbits ,janitors the number 17 and "the heyoka" (sacred clown)

2010-02-17T11:06:00.000-08:00

Yesterday the subject of "kinky" sex came up at work and seeing myself as a broadminded free thinking character (as i do) i decided to embrace the Flow/Wolf and allow White rabbit /Trickster/Phooka to do his magick. 2+2 =5 The sync door flew open and when i got home i saw the phrase"Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains intrigue me" on a friends status this sync'd with my conversation at work and the name of a party organised by my friend called "breakin bones " so promtly did a cut and paste job to my own status , I also got a email about a forthcoming performance by Bill Drummond and "the 17" in aid of Haiti, ( the only nation to successfully rise up and throw off the shackle of slavery by political rebellion)
i also had a completly unrelated facebook conversation about "the mild mannered janitors" in Hong Kong Phooey who could be see as Hong Kong Phooey's higher self or guardian angel
today the syncs have kepy flowing Arrowsmith has posted a blog entry entitled the "clown charkra" and Indras net has posted a blog entry entiled "17-again-and-jupiter-janus-phooka" about a Phooka/White Rabbit that appears in the form of a janitor !
as i write this i'm thinking how my work colleagues will read the word "phooka" and the film "meet the F**kers , what i have i started ? time to escape the rabbit hole

Black Dogs ,White Wolves , SoS

2010-01-18T23:32:00.000-08:00

I'm either to lazy or to shy to explain the connections, I've blogged on Black Dogs and White Wolves previously
but Arrowsmith explains the symbolism better than me.Suffice to say these themes are resonating heavily at the moment

Dog Town (L.A. /Skateboards), Dead Dog Mountain (UK PUNK REGGAE), Snoop Dog(LA Hip Hop) ,
The Black Dog (UK teKno) Dogs on Acid (UK Drum and BAss)

The Hypno Dog (University) My Flatmates dogs on Clays Lane, My bosses Dog at Brooke Street,Those dogs in Westminster, Dangerous Darrens Dogs

Red envelopes ,Red Eyes and Jedi Smurfs

2010-01-13T10:06:00.000-08:00

In Chinese culture there is a tradition around the time of Chinese new year (the lunar new year as opposed to the solar new year) of placing money in red envelopes and giving them to the Lions along with a cabbage that does the new years lion dance as an offering to the deities to bestow good health and good fortune this money is usually distributed amongst local charities.

I usually make a donation in a red envelope at this time of year to the charity of my Buddhist/ Taoist /kung Fu master so it was no surprise to receive his email of where to send the red envelope donation ,I was however surprised to receive a demand on the same day for a donation from another “master” to a more dubious charity.

Faced with Hobson’s choice by these synchronistic demands, It was interesting to note the supernatural advice of my daily tarot card which suggested In considering my priorities I should support those organisations/individuals with a track record of supporting me.
My mind turned from my red envelope donation to the reddish purple bruising above my eye I had received that day in an “accident”, giving me a new slant on the term "red eye", it also reminded me of the lineage ancestor of my kung fu style "red eyebrow." I have come to see the term "red eye" as indication of some temporary or permanent altered state of consciousness in which messages are received . this idea has been developed by a number of synchromystic bloggers recently.
http://g8ors.blogspot.com/2009/12/red-eye-of-blue-star.html
I have on occasion wondered about the supposed supernatural abilities of telepathy etc hinted at in descriptions of the old masters ,was red eyebrow one such master?

Until now I have never blogged on the similarities between the term "Red Eye and "Jedi" , The Jedi are in the story also Masters with supernatural powers so I smiled when I saw an article in the most recent Hackney Today about The new “Joint Enforcement Development Initiative” J.E.D.I. being trialled in the nightclubs of Hoxton/Shoreditch by a body made up of hackney councillors and police with a remit to investigating Health and Safety concern in the nightlife.

This new initiative reminded me of a story I heard years ago of a London Jungle DJ Smurf who was renowned at all the heaviest Hardcore/Jungle/Techno raves as the authority on health and safety matters. I have blogged before about the smurfs and hinted at a smurf/jedi connection ( first highlighted to me by the Global Communications/Evolution DJ’s aka the Jedi Knights!
To me the Smurfs represent a smurf/earth consciousness which has as fundamental principle Health and Safety

White Rabbits, Spirals and the Jupiter Finger

2009-12-13T03:12:00.000-08:00

I've recently written aboutthe salience of White Rabbits and Spirals in my conciousness these past few weeks and today i read a post on the "sync whole" about a film ive never seen "The last mimzy" which seemed to connect the dots.
It confirmed my suspicion that the white rabbits represent the vessel that travel through the stargates represented by (black top hats or spirals ) the rabbits represent the travelers that brings back and forth messages,articles ,and that have the ability to travel in time /space etc.

http://g8ors.blogspot.com/2009/12/water-of-life-i-am-poured-for-thirsty.html

i've just read another post on the sync whole about the Jupiter finger (seems that just as "the last mimzy points" to the spiral being the stargate so does jupiters finger point the way to the stargate of accension.This remided me of the buddha finger , an ancient mudra referenced in kung fu films but also the spiral tribe pointing hand

The Aliases of JSteveKane

2009-12-09T11:20:00.001-08:00

Today I was asked about my alias ,its a throwback to the time I created my hotmail account and the DJ personna i was thinking of using at the time , i figured i could add a "D".
Other DJ name used included the Refresher, the Spirit Guides , Deckhard, Replicant 23 ,Steve Skywalker, Blue Five ,The Smurf and finally J.S.K.
JSteveKane was a homage to the pioneering British breakbeat techno prouducer JSAULKANE who had was at the forefront of early hardcore Breakbeat house/Drum & bass /Jungle alongside the likes of DJ Hype and Shut up and Dance.
JSAULKANE/Depth Charge was reknowned also for his love of ,and overt use of both Kung Fu and Kinky Porn samples which I thoughts was all kind of Wild and way before the Wu Tang Clan.
It also reminded me of the character from the seventies "Kung Fu" serial played by David Carradine which i loved as a kid, theres also a Big Daddy Kane resonance thrown in which i like.
The "J" evoked Jedi ,Jaguar,Jesus, Jezedi in addition to the "Dee Jay".
At school my aliases were far less kool and kind of cruel , ive always been a slim character and i remember the ridicule of being called an ethiopean and a bean pole.
My skater friends in Bristol called my two brothers an I "the Fiddlers" cause my mum played the violin so we were the fiddlers three.
At Uni i was called bad luck Steve for a while after i passed out on my birthday behid a sofa and got locked in the bar after the close,and a friend of mine who did some part time modeling and dominatrix work used to call me maggot.
When i joined a Tai Chi /Kung Fu school a few years later The Master simply called me White Steve to differentiate with Black Steve and that one i use to this day.
Since i began playing Capoeira i've had a few nickname (judas / garibu / alfinette (the needle) / courigitto (the owl)and courigitto sonhador (the owl dreamer)
So who is the real me? or maybe they all are different parts of me, well there's a new name coming soon..

White Rabbits

2009-11-30T14:29:00.000-08:00

Part I
i've been seeing lots of white rabbits lately and they have a deep (unknown resonance for me) at the weekend I went to Bristol and my Neice showed me her favourite cuddly toy called "magic rabbit" (its white) I noticed last week the white rabbit on the titles to "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" , and how they sync'd with the white rabbits on a canvas poster near my home by clapton pond,
White rabbits are perhaps best know as the symbol of the magician or the play boy bunny and of course there'sthe white magic in the Alice books,
i had a personal resonance with the white rabbit in the nineties when "Lord Sabre " form Sabresonic / Sabres of Paradise used the imagery ,this reated on me a few years later with in Donnie Darko, Robert Anton wrote a little about it in one of the cosmic trigger books i dont know what the symbolism means .Jungian / tarot reader please tell . Am i about to go down the rabbit hole again ?

Part II
I started this post on 30th November so was ammazed when the following morning my colleague at work told me about the expression"white rabbits white rabbits white rabbits" which it is apparently good luck to say on the first day of each month.A number of conversations have occured since then and i have been reminded of the resonances in my life of Brear Rabbit (the trickster) which my dad used to read to me as a child, the rabbits of watership down, the "grey" rabbit of bugs bunny and the sexy rabbit (hare) of the cadbury's caramel adds. Two films have been recommended to me "Who Frammed Rodger Rabbit" and "Harvey" a 50's film i've never heard of , like always the rabbit hole has shown me a whole new world.

Part III

"The pookah takes many forms, but is most famous when he appears as a giant, six-foot white rabbit - which is the form most Americans know from the play and film, Harvey. Whatever form the pookah takes, he retains the special ability of his species, which is like that of Thoth in Egyptian legend, Coyote in Native American myth or Hanuman the Divine Monkey in Hindu lore - he can move us from one universe, or Belief System, into another, and he likes to play games with our ideas about 'reality.''"
From Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger Volume 2.

Owl Syncs

2009-11-08T02:44:00.000-08:00

Part 1

Recently a blog by Chris Knowles (The Secret Sun) drew my attention to the synchronicities between owls and psychic phenomena he noticed a correlation between people of my generation interested in synchronicity and whose mothers having an interest in Owls
This resonated with me because when I was a teenager my mother suggested to me I start an "owl collection" I wasn't that keen on the idea ,but my mother was clearly into it, she owned a green morris minor with the registration plate "owl" and had placed a little cuddly toy owl in the back windscreen,
she proceed to give me "owls" at every opportunity Christmas, birthdays on holiday etc. she would buy them in gift shops etc. I had china owls ,posters paintings mobiles, pencils, key rings etc. you name it ( my brothers were not exactly jealous cause they always new the extra present I got would be an owl)
I never though much of the significance apart from briefly when we studied a book entitled "the owl service" in English Literature .

I kind of forgot about owls after my mother passed on , more recently my Capoeria teacher gave me the nick name of "curugito" which i think means "owl" or little owl he also made some reference at the time to "Orco" from the "He man" cartoon , later he renamed me "curugito sonhador " the owl dreamer

When i first wrote this note while I was watching the qualifying in the Brazillian GP they showed an Owl sitting by the track , then the camera switch to one of the cars No 23 , The illuminati will know why i smiled
It wouldn't have warranted a note , but seconds later i received a flyer reminding me of the forthcoming Ugly Funk / Vinyl Pleasures "Last Revolution" party at the Foundry at which a friend "DJ wrongspeed" is playing at . I quickly Googled "DJ Wrongspeed" to see his latest podcast is entitled "A bad day for Owling Championships"

Part 2

Over Christmas i've been resonating the Blue cats ,Blue moons and Smurfs today i switched to Blue Owls and at the very moment a friend from work commented on my new profile pic it I saw an advert for centreparks featuring an owl .. anyone for a holiday ?

Part 3 August 2010

Just got back from a family holiday in Cornwall where my mothers line comes from, I noticed there is a place called the "Screech Owl Sanctuary " near Newquay and something was tugging at me to make a visit ( I didn't but I did go to Newquay) for the first time in years)

I very much relate Owls to my Mum (Rip) and spirits /aliens so it was interesting when I saw a post by Everett about their appearance in the film "the fourth kind" and ancient Sumerian culture references / native American culture references

White Wolves

2009-11-08T02:43:00.001-08:00

I'm concious that far right BNP/NF type Facist/Nazi organisations have started to use this symbolism just like they have tried to appropriate the history of Winston Churchill and take "ownership" of union jack etc

Like the "K" Liberation Front my instinct is to challenge Far right organisations over ownership of what should be common currency

I'd been aware for about a week or so that i'd been experiencing a succession of "white wolf" syncronicites. Today i was reading the latest post on the blog by Neil Kramer "The Cleaver" ( which included lots of images of wolves ) and no sooner had i finished than Shakira's new tune "She Wolf" came on MTV in the backgound.

Like mmany I first beacame concious of the wolf archetype with the children's favourite "Little Red Riding Hood " in my mid teens i was exposed to the more "adult" versions of the tale and became more aware of sexual themes related to th archetype , Informational exchange wth the 23rd current reintroduced the archetype to my conciousness in relation to "Sleeping Dogs" and the awakening of conciousness. Apart from the aforemention links with White power organistion the wolf had been dormant in my conciousness until the last few days, I think it's interesting these groups resonate with the wolf as i believe their "politics of hate" is a result not just of ignaorance but a deep seated fear and they hunt in packs preying on the vulnerable , Wolves like may dogs when hunting smell the fear and these far right political leaders do similar things smelling the fear in their potential recruits
The Buddha and later Yoda said "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred and hatred leads to violence" and this is sadly a description of the activity of the far right
In Capoeira theres an expression "the lone wolf" for a player that for whatever reason doesn't have a group to call their own. For a while following injury I felt somewhat of a lone wolf but never really severed my ties with my group (East London Capoeira Angla Palmares ) and i'm glad to say I train a little bit again now . To me the wolf represents the awakening of conciousness , not the vicous hunter driven unconciously by fear.

The Big Blue Fence

2009-10-13T11:43:00.000-07:00

Despite reading the current crop of synchromystic blogs about the Blue Entity ,It was only last week that realised the connection with The Big Blue Fence . The Big Blue Fence is a project I have had a fairly close relationship with for the past few years .The Big Blue Fence project started out as part of a larger community engagement project in East London ,the idea of the community engagement project was to hear the voice of ordinary Londoners , some talked of London hosting of the olympics in 2012 . How would it effect them? had they been consulted , what change would it bring to their communities. one such change was the Big Blue Fence that had been erected around the perimeter of the olympic site.I had a personal resonance with the Big Blue Fence as I used to live in a housing Cooperative called Clays Lane which was demolished to make way for the olympic village. Some of my friends were still living there when the compulsory purchase orders came through, some were rehoused, some were still waiting to be rehoused as the diggers began rolling in .Clays Lane had special memories for me.It was while living at Clays Lane that I experienced an awakening of sorts to a more personal understanding of my psycholgy & spirituality .At times I questioned whether this exerience was healthy or madness ,but thanks to some good friends who reaasured me I was not alone, just an psychik youth awakening and my martial arts school that ensured I was physically grounded , encouraged me to sing,dance ,to meditate and find balance .I took some crucial steps forward along my life path.The Big Blue Fence had now encircled my old home at Clays Lane / Temple Mills this was now the hallowed ground of the olympic site, and the Big Blue fence would serve keep the public out , My days at Clays Lane and the glimpses of paranioa I experienced there are mostly forgotten, occasionally something reminds me of those days , a recent interview with Rik Clay about his take on the 2012 olympics and the olympics site reminded me that digging to deeply too quick into the waters of magic and conspiracy can be a dangerous game Rik saddly took his life earlier this year.
The Big Blue Fence came to represent a blank canvas on which we could express our thoughts about life in Hackney. I felt like going down to the real Big Blue Fence and doing somme graffitii but I'm far too upstanding a cityzen to do that. best use the group work sessions of the Big Blue fence Project. The project evolved and an installation was produced for display at a local community festival ,on Well Street common E9 ,this developed further to the Interactive Installation displayed at Hackney Museum and the group work sessions that accompanied it .The installation is now on display at Walthstow Library where its continues to explore the wealth of Heritage in East London past and future .
The real Big Blue Fence has now largely been painted over with corporate art & advertising , the installation is on the move and constantly changing just like the trains that the writers in New York used to develop there "art" in the 80's where will the Blue Entity of Conciousness take us next , Look out theres Blue Cat about !

The Big Chill

2009-10-11T09:50:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you forget how much your behaviour is programmed by external factors eg advertising/marketing strategies.For most of 2009 I've been part of the "Big Delivery Project" a corporate partnership between the Big Issue and various other organisations ( my company included ) which has involved me distributing copies of the Big Issue to selected outlets. During this time I of course read the weekly copies and the regular articles on the Big Chill, by when my friend suggested we attend this year I assumed it was my decision ( I've know about the Big Chill Festival since its early days but never been to the festival ), I hadn't registered the tie in between the Big Issue and The Big Chill until the week before when I read that it was Big Issue sellers that were to be the selling the official programs at the Big Chill.
Despite embarrasssment at my realisation that I'm just another programmed drone I was looking forward to the Big Chill festival 2009, I hadn't been to a festival since the early nineties. The last time was Glastonbury the year "The Shamen" were at number one with "Ebenezer Goode" despite their pop success they played a sublime set of their classics and finished with "Re-evolution" a partnership with Terrance Mckenna whose voice echoed across the Vale of Avalon while a lazer hologram circle above us.
As I was looking forward to the Big Chill Festival 2009 I remembered all those years ago when the "Big Chill" was an underground party in London on a sunday afternoon designed for ravers to chill out ,I went a few times and remember "Angels of Disorder" "Nelson Dilation and the Pupils of Dilation" it was there I first heard Coldcut (live) , Hexstatic and the Jedi Knights ,there were always lots of Acid headz and some ruff jungle but good vibez.
Now London has the big Chill House , the Big Chill Bar and I hear a record label !
Highlights of this years Big Chill Festival were Orbital (the reunion) Bassment Jaxx ,Tom "the jedi" Middleton playing one of his legendary "one more tune sets" & the Next Men
My discovery of the festival (and one i only recommend to the extremely broadminded) was Chirs Cunnigham the A.V. artist behind Aphex Twins "Window licker" "Rubber Johnny" and "Flex"

Eckankar and the Justified Ancients of Mu

2009-06-22T14:36:00.000-07:00

Eckankar and the Justified ancient of Mu

When I was offered a role as a “counsellor” on a summer camp for children from homeless families of New York city I was excited and a little uncertain what to expect.
This was to be my first experience of living and working in a foreign country however some of my experiences were stranger than others.
During the twelve weeks I worked on camp I was to have many rewarding and happy times with the children and other camp workers however I also experienced some problems. I was initially somewhat surprised at how different my own culture was to those of the children I was working with and my co-counsellor, Granted I did not have a language barrier to contend with but in those first few weeks there were moments where I felt quite isolated.
It was the early nineties and I was fresh out of university and the few cassettes I had packed in my bag were acid house music which was all the rage at the time in London. Unbeknown to me House music in New York was considered by most the preserve of the gay scene whereas Hip Hop R&B was the music of the black community and Rock & Pop the styles mostly consumed by white audiences American music markets are far more segregated along racial lines than in Britain.
Added to this my hair at the time was dyed blonde much like one my favourite DJ’s “ Mr C” of the Shamen. Some of my peers on camp put 2 and 2 together and made 5 concluding I was homosexual. This misjudgement was compounded by the fact I had been given a book of Celtic artwork by my parents the previous Christmas and was in the habit of doodling what I considered tribal designs. However some of my colleagues had the mistaken impression I was actually voodoo practioner who listened do voodoo music even they realised my acid house tapes were not your average latino house.
As rumours of ”my sexuality” spread across camp while most of the staff kept their distance others ostracised me. Two members of staff the camp caretaker and his wife the dance teacher (who were themselves viewed with some suspicion) made efforts to befriend me.
As it transpired they were members of a religious group known as “Eckankar”
(widely perceived by many as a dangerous cult) They explained that Eckankar was
known as the religion of the light and sound of God and its spiritual teachings apparently had an ancient lineage. Eckankar they explained was led by the Living ECK master who taught them methods of spiritual cultivation. experienced Eckist’s practised “Soul Travel”. While asleep their Souls would travel to Golden temples where they would be instructed by Masters both alive and dead. Eckist’s kept dream diaries and often would receive notice of their graduation in the post following a meeting with their Eck master in their dreams. The most simple ECK practise was to chant “Hu” as a love song God.
I took their religious beliefs with a pinch of salt As I was somewhat aware of the activities of religious cults but was happy of their friendly disposition.
Some days after I had been introduced to their beliefs it was my day to host the camp radio station. There was some expectation around this event as most were aware I would not be playing the usually “R Kelly Naz and Wu Tang mix that was popular that summer.
I decided to wake the campers that morning with music by the “KLF” and the lyric “Lie down on the floor and keep calm.. This is Radio Freedom” followed by a volley of gunfire and plenty Of Mu Mu’s (The KLF are also known as the Justified ancient of Mu)
This I thought would hold particular appeal because as an encouragement to the kids to drink plenty of milk at breakfast their was a tradition that the first table to finish their jug of milk should make Moo Moo noises like a cow and be rewarded with a second Jug of milk .
There was some disagreement amongst staff as to whether this practise was counter productive due to the chaos that invariably ensued and the pressure on the younger children to drink their milk far too quickly. However kids loved it and the traditionalists had got their way.
That morning I arrived at breakfast sporting my Justified Ancients of Mu T-shirt to a chorus of Moo Moo
Later that afternoon two very concerned Eckist’s approached me with serious faces explaining they had need to talk to me privately. They explained that within Eckankar The religion of the light and Sound of God was ancient an ancient book of Sounds which can be thought of as the language of God some of these sounds having very powerful effect one such sound I “Hu” which Eckist sing as a love song to God another word “MU” which is taught to only high level Eckist because of its destructive effects.
The Camp had unknowingly stumbled on this knowledge through the breakfast tradition of calling Moo. The disorder caused by the vibrations of the sound was evidenced in the children’s frenzied behaviour at breakfast and including the vomiting that often followed the over drinking . The Eckists explain that Lemura or Mu as it became known was in fact the lost continent of Atlantis which had fallen into the sea as a result of the vibrations caused by it inhabitants continually referring to it as Mu the Eckists expalined it was important that i read some Eck books to get me up to speed ?

Into the Deep Blue Conciousness

2009-05-05T13:01:00.000-07:00

Black Dogs Stars "The Blue One" post http://blackdogstar.blogspot.com/2009/04/blue-one.html , hit me like a poke in the third eye with a blunt instrument shedding new light on my own experience with the blue energy /entity and compelling me to write up this chronicle

I first began consciously resonating blue energy when the “National” petrol company did a Smurf promotion in the early eighties, like many others it was my first introduction to Smurfs and I was on holiday in my family in Ireland at the time so coincidentally it was also introduced to the leprechaun a, strange that back then I associated smurf with petrol (an polluting fossil fuel) whereas now they represent to me a greener Smurf consciousness.

The blue energy remained largely unconscious to me for many years until the early nineties when I began to hear about project blue book (the alien agenda) there was a seminal radio 1 show at the time by Rob da Bank entitled “the Blue room” and I think the Orb did a song with the same name. I read Whitley Strieber’s “Communion” which describes the short stocky blue troll (Smurf like) aliens and underwent some near misses with extra terrestrial consciousness at Bear Mountain. I also became aware of the Hindu deities which are often represented with blue skin and became aware that my Celtic/druid ancestors also used to paint there skin blue ,to this day in the United Kingdom the royal family are referred to as having blue blood. Around the same time I began to resonate the Blue Cat, the seminal Drum and Bass Jungle techno label “Metalheadz” used a blue cat for its logo and I was introduced to little known “Magic Roundabout” feature film entitled “Dougal and the Blue Cat”, I began to resonate the Jaguar another cat with a blue hue courtesy od DJ Rolando “the Aztek Mystic,” while the musical blues continued with the Helicopter tune by Deep Blue and the number one song by Deep Blue Something.

The Smurfs came back into consciousness when the DJ team “The Jedi Knights” began to release new school electro on clear and I got back into break dancing “the Smurf was a classic early 80 electro track in an interview with the short lived Jedi Knights they talked about the internet as “an old school network” and remarked that the future is in “Lucid dreaming” possibly the first time I had heard of the concept.

They also mentioned they wanted to see a new smurf for the nineties, within days news of the world featured spaceman smurf on the front cover and the song Spaceman quickly went to number one with its “smurf vocals”, I visited an friend who I knew to be a magician and tarot reader to see that he had put Smurf stickers all around his mirror when I remarked on the coincidence he told me he had found them in a skip along with a Papa Smurf cuddly toy which he gave me.

The Smurfs came thick and fast, they released a computer game and album within weeks, including a great cover version of “I wanna be a hippy” I went to see the DJ/producer Roger Sanchez play the main room at The End (Roger S was stylin the white kangol at the time) in the lounge The Jedi Knights and Matthew “Bushwacka B” played possibly the best electro sets I’d ever heard. All that was missing was the Smurfette.

Within weeks Clays Lane threw one of its less infamous but no less memorable party’s, it was in fact a rather sedate barbeque. I went along in a newly purchased the shiny blue shirt and white Kangol. Imagine my shock when who else should turn up but a beautiful young lady dressed in a short mini dress of the same shiny blue material as my shirt and with flowing blonde hair.

The amazing synchronicities began to subside the blue energy faded into the background occasionally resurfacing "Remember me" by blue boy and again more recently went I learnt of the “ka-ohm” atom said to exist in the heart said to resonate the colour blue, is that the reason for the use of the colour blue for the heart chakra in Tibetan Buddhism.

Stormy Weather

2009-04-19T11:36:00.001-07:00

I have recently being listening to the podcasts of aeolus kephas which inspired to me write up this blog, i have been meaning to chronicle these ideas for while. Aside from my love of rain storms and lightening developed as a child , when my parents used to take my brothers and I caravaning on a regular basis.
Years later I paid little attention when some of the first commercial raves I attended were Perception and Raindance , prior to that I been attending the free raves of Spiral Tribe ,Tribal Energy ,Circus Warp ...and its only now I remember that wonderful track by the little known Bristol based psch/rock band The Seers entitled "Lightning Strikes" or the Lightning seeds classic albumn
I first began to consider weather condition more seriously when i was going through a period of interest in Techno Shamanisn and I had read "Thee Grey Book" by "Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth" and it prompted me to observe weather conditions, along with my dreams, what I want to eat, how to keep fit , who and how I wanted to love... around this time I was also very into DJ'ing and two key records in my collection were white labels by an outfit know as Satin Storm. In these days of spin doctors the expression "whipping up a media storm" is well understood ,but on a number of occasion this has taken on an alternative meaning. Perhaps the first was when my flat mate Krissy G invited invited the Pirate radio station "Rush FM" to broadcast from a studio in his bedroom, at first my other flatmate Johnny Jedi and I found this pretty Kool but ,the novelty soon began to wear off as a succesion of dj's entered the house at all hours of the day and night leaving their rubbish in the hall and stairs and failing to close the door properly .Polite requests and notices to be considerate falling on deaf ears . While "Rush FM" were were churning out the drum and bass/jungle to the airwaves, J.J. and I retreated to the more underground tekno sounds of plink plonk records downstairs. While J.J. considered the occult significance of the lightning bolts on the plink plonk logo, I had recently recieved some plink plonk stickers so put one on the front door (which the pirates kept failing to close), imagine our suprise when shortly after i'd done this the radio station antennae was taken out by lightning solving the issue.
Johnny Jedi and myself Steve Skywalker began to go with the flow. i purchased a series of drum and bass records on Moving Shadow enitle "Storms from the East" our DJ names incidentally were inspired in part by another dynamic duo of Storm trooping Dj's "The Jedi Knights" producing records on clear recording and then global communications.at the time. I had been fortunate enought two hears the Jedi DJ's down at "monk on fire" and began to ponder a new meaning to Whipping up a Storm
Not long after, Johnny Jedi and I threw a moving house party which despite carefully planning took an unexpected turn when at the last minute I decided to make a slighte change to the dj line up, shifting a certain female dj friend "peelee" to an earlier slot and my friend Horton Jupiter to later slot,Horton didn't take this well and decided to abandon the melodic tekno set he been planning and instead play a hard industrial set (to annoy me ?), but what even he hadn't forseen, was the voilent thunder storm that erupted as he took to the decks which shook clays lane to its very foundations .
I moved on from Clays Lane to Old Steet put dj'ing on the back burner as I studied Kung Fu and TAi Chi while living for a year at the Buddhist Temple of Supreme Hidden Thunder. My Kung Fu teacher was mixing eastern mantras with electronic sounds and got Friends Lovers and Family producer Phil Earl from Law & Auder to help produce the tracks ,we threw some launch parties for the records including a memorable one where my friend Alex Shaolin (deep frequency.com) played a mellow hip hop set on what was a warm summers evening in faringdon, Phil who was next on the roster brought a box of jungle tekno and as he stepped up to the wheels of steel the clouds gathered and within minutes the heaven sopened as thunder and lightening rained down to sound of a master at work. As the last of the razor sharp beats played out and Phil moved on ,as quickly as it had begun the skys cleared and and sun shone.
I love little synchronicity ,to me its the esence of taoism and as I moved from Kung fu to Capoeira , I beganing listening and playing more and more live music , i even began to learn a little berimbau "the original single string instrument" and ( lightening conductor ) I will never forget the first public roda I attended in covent garden led by Master Ousado the roda went on for hours with many different London schools present the Capoeria was played in a variety of different styles but built to an acrobatic and competitive climax and the music led /followed the game as the light failed and the bodies tired the rythmns reached a final peak and as all good rodas do it ended in unision and the call of the berimbau. the crowd felt silent for and for a split second everyone held their breath ,then their was almighty clap of thunder and the crowds were scattered to the four corners as the lightning struck rain lashed down.

Oranges and Lemons says the bells of St Clemence and the Cult of Tango

2009-04-12T05:09:00.000-07:00

At some point in the late eighties early nineties , The makers of Tango advertised Orange Tango with its "you know when you’ve been tango'd" catchphrase this had multiple meanings. One for the kids in the playground who mimic'd its head slapping antics with a craze that according to national newspaper had to be banned.
and another for me and perhaps other members of the exploding "rave scene" For us the "You know when you've been tango’d" catchphrase of Orange Tango had quite a different meaning! For me this alternative meaning was reinforced because my brother and I had been travelling up to London at the weekends for our dose of hardcore rave at the "Orange club"

It was at this time I first made the connection of between Orange and Lemon Tango which were popular at the raves the mental connection was resonated by the words of the popular the rave tune by "Liquid" entitled "sweet harmony" with is "bitter sweet bitter sweet harmony" refrain.

I've always resonated Oranges and Lemons due to my mothers maiden name "Clemence" which is my middle name, so the popular nursery rhyme "Oranges and Lemons says the bells of St Clemence." has always held a personal significance and even more so since I moved to live within the sound of bow bells.

As time past I had put my "raving days behind me " I had taken up martial arts and was being exposed to the Buddhist /Taoist teachings of my teacher

It was around this time my mother who was Catholic Christian and involved in the Charismatic renewal movement told me all about the concept of an Easter advertising campaign around the concept of "J.I.M" (Jesus in me) , which might or might not have had some connection to the evangelical Christian movement and the "Holy trinity church" Brompton that was doing the Alpha course in the early days,

The "Jesus in Me" concept seemed harmonious to the Christian Buddhist movement, those Buddhist ‘s/ Christians that see Christ Conciousness as a state of conciousness comparable with the Buddha’s enlightenment or achieving union with the TAO

So when the following Easter to the "Jesus in me" commercials when the makers of Tango ran the "Cult of yellow tango commercial" my curiosity was peaked again , but I felt like it had special significance .In the commercials everyone in the yellow tango cult wore yellow robes and enjoyed peace and love and worship the Jim/Jinn to be found in the yellow tango drink.

by that time was living in the Buddhist temple of my teacher the "Yellow Dragon Centre" and attending Buddhist ceremonies where we regularly wore yellow robes

The personal connection seem closer still because around the time the Yellow Tango commercials were aired I had been given a temporary job in a marketing agency that was doing some work for the "Blue Dragon" Chinese food brand and heard a great story (which involved black and white playboy bunnies and the two the guys that were responsible for the Tango campaign ( apparently one was black the other one white) this further resonated the Taoist nature of the philosophy) and seemed to mimic the Black and White Steve dynamic that was playing out at the Yellow Dragon centre

to this day I seem to be the only person that obsesses about the meaning behind the commercials , years later they flirted "green" campaign for Apple Tango and I notice the other day, some new advertising for Orange Tango with added kick (ginger)

I not sure how much of the above is true and how much imagined but the cult will forever be alive in my dreams.

Black Dogs ,Elephants, Horton, the Moon and the Stars

2009-04-05T15:39:00.000-07:00

Just read Black Dogs Star post "RAW eggs " and was pondering my own resonances with the Black Dog , Elephants and Horton Jupiter the moon and The Stars
In my last post "Probably a robbery" I touched on Banks ,Banksy and the Templars but thats for another day...When I first saw B.D.S. page I was reminded of the time I was hypnotised by a stage hypnotist and his "Black Hypno Dog" this coincided with some research on hypnosois as part of my Psychology degree around the same time I was listening to alot of tekno and the group "The Black Dog" were openly discussing occult themes I remember seeing them play live at "Vapoursapce" and was blown away by the egyptian black dog statues on stage. but this wasn't half as freaky as the time a few years later I was given a lift home by my employer at The Brook Street employment agency in Holborn when I had to sit in the back of her convertable sports car with two black dobermans!
I started resonating the elephant when I went to a private secondary school in Bristol entitled Queen Elizabeths Hospital (QEH) it was commonly referred to as Queer Elephant's House by kids from other schools , prior to this my only resonance with the elephant was the Tarzan TV series and the classic disney movie Dumbo which was the favourite of my younger brother for a while.
At the age of about twenty three ( a mere psychik youth ) while living at the infamous Clays Lane Housing Coop ,a neighbour and I threw a classic party we co designed the flyer which was a "Sacred Chao" with a Smurf sumperimposed (i was undergoing a smurf obssesion at the time) and my neighbours imput to the flyer design was to suggest we add an elephant to the design which seem to fit with the smurf/earth conscious vibe we wanted to promote. One of the guest dj's at the party was my friend "Horton Jupiter" one of the founding member of the Clays Lane Jedi Chapter. Horton now fronts "They came from the stars ...I saw them" those of you fammiliar with "The Stars" tongue in cheek channelling will get the connection with QEH . I had never heard of "Horton the Elephant" until reading Black Dog Star's post, a few years later I left Clays Lane and moved to old street where my Kung Fu teacher had opened a Buddhist Temple it here I was first introduced to Ganesh.
From Kung fu I moved to Capoeira and my capoeira school "Capoeira Angola Palmares" has the moom and star as its emblem I have always wondered about the symbolism.

The Robin / Probably a Robbery - Renegade Soundwave

2009-03-28T02:09:00.000-07:00

Reading JK's post about synchs concerning the Robin http://rundonotwalk.blogspot.com/2009/03/robin-sparrow.html
I was prompted to reply. I have resonated the robin since I was a young child when my first ever football kit was the red and white of Bristol City (The Robins) which I supported.
Like many i was unconcious of the Robin in classic "Robin of Sherwood" and "Batman and Robin" televison series of my youth .
I lost the connection until I was much older when I was very into the dj'ing and had my bike and many of my records robbed. by "a friend" it confirmed in my mind my Spiral Tribe status ( I always had this idea that the Spiral Tribe ethos contained within in it concept communal living and perhaps even communal property,Spiral Tribe also resonated to me at least the idea of nodes in cyclical time and that positives outcomes can come about as a result of otherwise misfortunate events, the Robbin of my records prompted me to move house and my next home was to be a buddhist temple for 12 months( a life changing move ), I've always been aware that shamanic gifts ( found items) while they can be magical and meaningful to the recipient have potential to be someone elses misfortune. I have imagined that stolen items might take on an energy and like a soul that wants to return to source ,perhaps stolen items at the moment they are stolen begin a journey home. For me stolen records become can become particularly powerful by acting as kind of sonic tracking device (asumming they don't end up on shelf or rubbish dump) stolen bikes evoke for me the similar idea and in some communitys e.g. Amsterdam bikes are good example of a communal property much like newpapers on a tube or property that belongs to an organisation.
It was arround the time my records were robbed that i first lister to the radio 1 dj Rob da Bank. on his Blue Room programme, not to be confused with the Kiss presenter Robin Banks, I could connect both these dj's to Banksy the stencil graffiti artist ( Banksy, Goldie 3D and Inkie all have a Bristol Barton Hill Youth Club/skateboard ramp connection ) and from banks to ,the Templars but that's another story......
Probably the only other significant robbery in my life was while I was in Brazil , I was staying in a guest house and while out my bags were robbed (probably an inside job) the main items stolen were a Bad Boy Capoeira T-shirt and the last of my Wagama t-shirts ( these were the unoffical t -shirts of my kung fu school at the time ) we had no official t-shirts but had recieved a shamanic gift of a box of wagamma t-sirts ) sadly the t-shirts stolen from me in brazil were intend as present for my capoeria Mestres Lazarao and No of Groupo Capoeira Angola Palmares .
The events surrounding the robbery were quite eventful, we had been sitting meditating in my hotel room when my rucksack mysteriously fell over , i found this strange so checked it to find a I had been robbed of above items ,we notified the hotel that we were leaving and the reasons why ( we suspected an inside job) . by the time we had reached the end of the road we were arrested and accused of leaving without paying, only the intervention of lawyers from AFS Brazil and support from Mestre Lazarao avoided a night in the cells.

The Hardcore Continuum

2009-03-13T14:12:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I listened to the Simon Reynolds "Hardcore Continuum" lecture .

http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.factmagazine.co.uk%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26task%3Dview%26id%3D2028%26Itemid%3D28&h=94f483eae1605f3470e4e9fb00729eb9

I haven't had a chance to check out much of the debate it has generated, but it really resonated with me and reminded me how so many of these "new" genres were really dreamt up years previously where the the seeds were sown through fleeting moments in the mix of a DJ or live musician
how they germinated ,splinters in the minds eye of the ravers to be recreated on wax or cd days, weeks, even years later from the studios of the producers

and I started to think of my own personal journey the moment when i entered the the continuum , and its intersection with othere musical styles

Its (and my own) Evolution & FWD re-evolution

Oxum and Xango - Sandra and Steve - Oshun and Shango

2009-03-11T01:18:00.000-07:00

Today my attention was drawn to the similarities between the descriptions of Oxum/Oshun and my wife (Love, Intimacy,Beauty ,Fiery Temper, Love of Cooking )I noticed she is the favourite wife of Xango/Shango and was drawn to the links with aspects of myself ( Xango the Sky God /my alias Skywalker) Xango ,God of Thunder, my longstanding interest and experiences around thunder / (my Buddhist Temple is Temple of Hidden Thunder) Xango sounds like tango and i went through a period of obsession around the fruit drink tango and the dj tango, my wife loves the Tango

Does this makes sense to you ? What does it mean ?

Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth

2009-02-25T13:55:00.000-08:00

T.O.P.Y - ST A T E M E N T O V I N T E N T
Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) exists to promote a system ov functional, demystified magick, utilising both pagan and modern techniques. It is a process ov individual and collective experimentation and research with no finite answers, dogmas or unchallengeable truths. It is for each to discover his or her own understanding ov thee questions that suggest themselves, and through that voyage ov discovery to find their personal and true identity, thee True Will.We are an organization of Individuals dedicated to updating and de-mystifying religious thought. We are also dedicated to creating a world where Individuals can be free to express themselves by whatever means they wish to. We wish to break Control at all levels. We experiment with whatever methods we can utilize to accomplish these goals - magick, technology, poetry, musick, whatever!As first steps towards change, we attempt to cultivate an awareness ov thee consequences ov our thoughts and actions, and to direct our energies in constructive directions. All this is done on thee understanding that our thoughts and behaviour form thee interface between our lives and thee lives ov others, and their repercussions are therefore endlessly returning.Awareness is consequently a requirement for our personal and collective survival and evolution. Still, we recognise that awareness itself is dependent on information, communication, and personal commitment. Our work is subsequently practical, exchanging models and methods we have found useful to ourselves. Thus we do not dictate, but rather focus on expanding thee available possibilities through thee cross-fertilisation ov suggestions, successes, and failures. And for us this is a full-time commitment, a continual process ov being, an endless myriad ov becomings.

Merlin Christ Buddha & Synchronicity

2009-02-14T01:38:00.000-08:00

Christ Buddha Merlin

I have been aware for a number of years that many statues of the buddha depict him/her in white and red robes, and was aware of the correspondence with the traditional image of Christ Jesus depicting "the Sacred Heart of Jesus" in which he wears white and red robes. So when creating a new "Merlin" myspace profile and choosing an image i was naturally drawn to the one depicting Merlin in white and red robes. I do not know the significance any ideas ?

Synchronicity

I first became aware of the concept of synchronicity when i was about 18 and read "the Illuminatus" by Robert Anton Wilson ,I later read the Celestine Prophesy by James Redfield.
I was actually awakened to synchronicity by the 23 enigma in my early 20's ;-) I remember an incident with my girlfriend of the time we had been experimenting with "the coital alignment technique" and experienced what i can only describe as telepathy , at the height of the passion we looked at our clock it was 2:30am then my girlfriend looked at the Spiral Tribe poster on the wall and exclaimed it's a 23,
There are lots of explanations of the enigma but one of the rarest is it relationship to an African deity (whose name i don't know) that represents the strength and positivity than can arise from war and conflict. Perhaps this is similar to the concept of "breaking apart" in the i ching or the numerolgical explantion of 23 as a completion of a cycle (those experts on the tarot may be able to enlighten us.)

Groove Rider Inside

Not many news stories touch me these days but this one has.
Not sure if I ever actually met Groverider. I used to shop in "da underground records" while I was at uni during the heady dayz of Rave. I used to hang around the shop for hours then buy one or two twelves from Randall,Swanne , Hype or Flex . We never spoke much it was just head noddin to the mix.
The tunes i would later hear the likes of Rider play at the Orange club
I later desended into the spiral techno madness of psychik youth for a couple of years
after which I sorted me self out ,trained kung fu ,capoeira , danced salsa , got a normal job , a wife
Isn't it funny how your life can change in an instant , I try to look for the positive in things but sometimes when the 23's show up and the paranoia setz in its hard
"23rd November" booked to play "The Lodge"
hold it down man
till the good times roll again

Yesterday as I was driving to work when I heard a new advert for "118 247" (yellow pages) It starts with that comedian fella talking to his supposed wife/girlfriend about the fact black cats were supposed to be lucky/unlucky.No sooner had he finished speaking these words when a black cat ran straight across the road in front of my car SPOOKY

Dreams become reality

Sunday Morning I had a vivid Dream , It was latest in a series of dreams I've been having from early childhood. For the abridged version lets say I attended a wonderful Rave at a kind of Circus, maybe it was located somewhere in a decaying margin of a huge urban metroplis in LA/Tokyo or LDN .
I awoke from the dream and said to my wife " I haven't been to a circus for ages I'd like to go to one, "
Sunday mornings I usually do a Martial Arts Class, The venues been a bit changeable of late so I called my teacher who said we were training in Highbury Fields, about an hour later I pulled up at the park in question only 5 mins from my house to see the Caravans & Big Top of the Chinese State Circus .

The 8 8 8 - The Transit Kings and a Windmill in Brixton

On 08/08/2006 (8.8.8) a stargate opened which has enabled a group of extra terrestrials to contact us the inhabitants of planet earth and deliver a impulse of goodness of unimaginable importance. Like all good things that come to an end the gate will only be open for a limted period and will close again on 26/08/2006 (8.8.8.) reaching midpiont on 17/08/08 (8.8.8) Last Thursday (midpoint) I relayed this story the harmonic resonance with the 888 to some work colleagues who looked at me with some incredulity. My confidence dashed I busyied myself at work until I received an email from a nother friend advising me of an important short film I should watch regarding a coverup surrounding "911" I told him the significance of the days date to global peace his response was shock at the synchronicty as his 26th birthday is on 26/08/08 and he went away convinced I had been channeling extra terrestrials !This truly special day was not over yet .I had heard that the Super Group known as the Transit Kings ( comprised of some members of some of my favourites bands ) were having a secret gig the windmill Brixton. Upon telling my incredulous friends they said I bet it's not a real windmil !Suffice to say the Transit Kings rocked the windmall !I was left wondering "What is the magic in ones eyes thats makes them sparkle like the skies ? "and my wife returns to UK on the 26/08/08

Capoeira Angola , The Dannce of the Zebra and the 55 Bus

While many of its roots are plain to see the history of Capoeira is complex and there are conflicting stories regarding its origins many of which were probably true for different moments in time.One of the lesser known stories is capoeira relation to the Dance of the Zebra "N'Golo" a fertility ritual that survives to this day in Africa where the young eligible menof the tribe "dance" and the winner chooses his bride.This story has to particular resonance to me because of how i met my wife.
My Capoeira Mestre was performing a demonstration at a Brazillian themed night at the Havanna night club in centraal london and his students were invited to assist ,during the roda my mind was focused on the pperformance but i couldn't help noticing the pretty girl in the audience,being a sunday evening i left the club soon after the performance had finished due to work committments the next day,but as luck would have it who was sitting at the bus stop but the same girl,Her english was rudimentary much like my protuguese but we struck up conversation and while waiting for the same 55 bus so hopped on together, we chatted so much i actually missed my stop,we swapped phone numbers and our first date was church where we were suitable chaperoned,the rest they say is herstory

Feng Shui Does it Work ?

2008-11-23T10:46:00.000-08:00

some years ago while living temporaily at a friends place who was experimenting with Feng Shui I had the following experience Myself being a critical type though interested was not convinced and it certainly seem a lot of work.My friend had been toldby his Feng Shui teacher that the position of the door is of extremem importance in Feng Shui of a building and had set aboutaltering the angle of his front door.In no way was this alteration aesthetically pleaseing and my friend was having problems getting the door to shut properly in its new position.after some time his teacher arrived to inspect the work,he turned to meand asked what i thought,I didn't really have to reply it was obvious from my face that i thought my friend had completly ruined a perfectly good front doorand for What ? the teacher took the tolls made some adjustments the door clicked shut and the job was finished.The teacher turned to us and said "you wait and see this new door position will be much better for attracting wealth and business.No sooner had he said this than the telephone rang It was my employment agencywho had given me a sucession of unfullfilling temporary jobs. "We have a wonderful opportunty for you" they said "its a temporary post but with agood chance they will take you on permanently" the Feng Shui teacher smiled.

UFOs at Bear Mountain

2008-11-23T10:45:00.000-08:00

In the summer after I graduated i spent three months working upstate New York for Camp America.Our camp was situated bya beautiful lake in the shadow of Bear Mountain which i later learned was a sacred mountain for the Alogonquin Indian.I had been at camp for a month or so when i had my first wekend off and was given the opportunity to visit New York City.I naturally jumped at the chance and while wandering the streets of Manhattan a thought came to me that I should by aparticular book that i remembered people reading on the bus while i travelled to school a few years earlier.I particularlyremember that the front cover had a strange image of a face on it.Imagine my shock when literally moments later i turned a corner to see the same image postered from top to bottom across what appeared to be a shop front.I tentatively pushed the door to find it seemed to be the haunt of some skater boarders and DJ's ( an interest in which i share) who were also particularly interested in ufo and alien abduction.I proceeded to have great chat and theses guys gave me some tips on where to check out in New York,including a bookshop a few yards down the road where i could purchase a copy of the book "communion" which i packed away in my bag for a rainyday.A couple of weeks later back on camp after the kids were asleep I lay back on my bunk in my cabin and reached for my copy of the book i had purchased.Once again my jaw dropped as i read the first few pages of this apparently true story of alien abudction the events of which took place upstate new York in a log cabin in the vicinity of Bear mountain.

As Dreams Become Reality

2008-11-23T10:43:00.000-08:00

As a young boy i was always very concious of my dreams but it was always the reoocuring dreams that made the most impression on me.One in particular i could never fathom. In this dream I was in the weirdest of environments and my senses were overwhelmed by the strangest combination of lights and sounds, while i was a surrounded by the oddest looking people.I remember trying to descibe the dream to my parents and brothers. i used to say "i had that dream again ,the one where i was inside the "kalidescopic play house puzzle" and there were people dressed like florence and dougal from the magic roundabout" i soon learnt to cease mentioning my dreams as nobody was really interested.
Many years later while at University I was a huge fan of the rave scene and in particular the underground tekno parties of London.On one occasion I ended up at a particularly memorable arty a neighbour Derek C was djing at the party in an "old school house" in north east london. It was here in the midst of a full on rave that my Flat mate "Chris Genius" introduced me to Graffit artist named "Snooze" and his girlfriend"Super Mandy". At that moment time seemed to stand still and i felt as though i had been struck by a a bolt of lightning as i realised i was experiencing one of my earliest childhood dreams.Even by todays standards Chris, Wayne and Mandy's style cause heads to turn. Both Chris and Wayne are well over 6ft tall and at the time had long dreadlocks, while Mandy is short ,has wonderful curves and sports the coolest Afro in town, of course as a young child from a white suburb of Bristol their features, faces and fashion were alien to me ,as was the concept of a rave. Within days Mandy and Wayne had move into the same house at Clays Lane shared by myself , Kris and my other good friend Johnny Jedi and all four were to have a huge impact on my life.

The Aztek ,The Knights of The Jaguar and strange experiences in the Valley of the Dawn

2008-11-23T09:03:00.000-08:00

Back in the early Nineties while while Studying Psychology at East London University I spent the weekends submergingmyself in London underground Tekno subulture Particularly memorable were the Zero Gravity and Nuclear free zone partieswhere i heard DJ Aztek play a number of time. some years later I had a dream where I was back in zero gravity and again the Aztek was on the wheels of steel but this time as he spun his mesmerizing tunes in the mix he assembled a silver telescopic contraption with spinning metallic windmill like blades that caught the lights in a magical and enchanting way,the music in the dream was as haunting as the lights were entrancing. So imagine my suprise when I heard that same music a few weeks later coming from my radio one friday night on Pete Tongs essential selection in the slot dedicated to his essential new tune and the shock was compounded as he named the tune and the artist Knights of the Jaguar by DJ Rolando The Aztek Mystic . The story was to take a further twist as it emergered the record had been given a full international release by Sony which subsequently led to the a well document a legal dispute between Sony Corporation,and the artists record label "Underground Resistance" which have a proud and fiercely independent history and had apparently refused permission forthe record to be lisenced to Sony. Could this mixup really have anything to do with the activities of a beautiful but rather choatic young lady I had met recently at a friends club "Afrodisia", the relationship had been one of those brief affairs full of passion laughter and tears , she was just back from Japan where shehad been on a intercultural exchange ,we shared alove of Detroit tekno and dancing so she was particularly pleased when she had been asked by a japanese friend of hers who worked for Sony to do some translation work for Mad Mike head honcho of Undeground Resistance.
Later that year I too was on an intercultural exchange in Brazil and following my 5 month work placement i decided to do some travelling. Not far from the Capital of Brazil and closer still to the Geodesic centre of Brazil lies a small town known as the Valley of the Dawn.This community was started by a former truck driver "Tia Neiva" who having suffered from a period of Mental ill health from which she could find no help from conventional counsellors/psychiatrists decided to take the experiences at face value and entertain the notion that she was being contacted from extra terrestrial/other dimensional forces.The entities that were contacting her labelled themselves as "The Jaguars" and claimed to be Highly evolved spirits who had experienced multiple reincarnations. They had, in at least one of their lifetimes fought in incredibly violent battles and committed horrifically violent acts however they had eventually been united under their leader "Pai Seta Branca"who himself was an earlier incarnation of the St Francis of Assisi and had become united behind the teaching of the Christ and the Prophets.The Valley of the Dawn in its physical dimension attracts all sorts of visitors having become something of a tourist attraction however it maintains the tradition started by "Tia Neiva"of providing support to the homeless , poor and trouble stricken. and holds elaborate ceremonies during which its adept enter trance and channel messages to those present.Like all the tourist I took my place to watch one of these ceremonies. and took a step back as they asked for volunteers and just at that moment who should I bump into but the Brazillian girlfriend of one of my Capoeira group from back in London "Steve" she called out drawing everyones attention to me "what are you doing here" "are you going to Volunteer" "no no" i said and anyway the medium probably dont speak english, not a problem she said the mediums don't speak english but the jaguars can speak any number of languages, so forward i went to receive my message from the Jaguars .The message was clear, I apparently had very serious karma ,due to very violent deeds commited in a previous life. Upon my return to the uk I was warned to be very careful ;where I live ,with whom I live and to make a similiary considered decision in regards to what religion I practise. As I left the valley I bought a post card with an artist impession of one of the most formidable Jaguars "Mestre Lazarus".
Next on my trip across Brazil was a visit to Bahia and the city of Salvador the capoeira academy of my capoeira teacher's master in Brazil so a smile crosssed my face when i saw on the paper and name and address Mestre Lazarau - Rua de Jaguaracy.
I trained with Mestre Lazarus for a couple of weeks staying in a nearby a guest house and one day i return to my room to find i had been robbed the main items stolen were a Bad Boy Capoeira T-shirt and the last of my Wagama t-shirts ( these were the unoffical t -shirts of my kung fu school at the time ) we had no official t-shirts but gifted of a box of wagamma t-sirts ) sadly the t-shirts stolen from me in brazil were intended as presents for my Mestres Lazarao .The events surrounding the discovery of the robbery were quite eventful,My friend and I had been sitting meditating in our hotel room when my rucksack mysteriously fell over , I found this strange so checked it to find I had been robbed of above items ,we notified the hotel that we were leaving and the reasons why ( we suspected an inside job) . by the time we had reached the end of the road we were arrested and accused of leaving without paying,
we were taken to the police headquater and questioned and at one point left to sweat while the auuthirites went away to check our stories ,while alone in the poloce commisioners office,I noticed the huge Bible on display with its ornate writing and images and found to my amazement it had been left open at the Story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and an amazing image of Lazarus ,the Police commisioner soon returned. Only the intervention of lawyers from AFS Brazil and the real life from Mestre Lazarao avoided a night in the cells.
The final twist to this tale came when after return to my host family we took a trip to Rio and visited the corcovada the famous statue of "the christ" it was a rainy day so there were not many people about but a group of young local boys seemed to get excited when they saw me , they approached me, my host parents tried to encorage them to go away thinking we might be robbed ,but the boys were insistent it seems they had spotted my Underground Resistance "Knights of the Jaguar" T shirt and had associated it with the Rio "Funk" scene they wanted to freestyle some raps as they seemed almost certain i was some kind of A&R from Sony and might be able to sign them up for the rich and famous lifestyle of an international rap star.

The occult truth about Beckhams 23

2008-11-23T07:52:00.000-08:00

David Beckham's public explanation for choosing the number 23 on his Real Madrid Shirt was that it was the number worn by the inspirational basket ball player Michael Jordan who wore the number 23 for the bulls and the the Wizards.However is there a deeper significance behind the 23, a growing number of people believe the 23 acts as a signifier of mysterious forces at work,In the early nineties an infamous band of new age travelling teckno ravers known as Spiral Tribe whose slogan was "Free Party ,Free People, Free Future" Spiral Tribe openly used the 23 as part of their image Following Castlemorton the UK largest ever Free Rave they were hounded by the state and following the introduction of the criminal Justice Bill left the UK to achieve some peace. Prior to Spiral Tribe It was Psyhick TV and Thee Temple ov Psychik Youth who progated the meme during the eighties but where did they get it from, most likely it was 70's Cult Novelist Robert Anton Wilson and his co authour of the "Illuminatus" trilogy Robert Shea , but even they were not the first to ponde rthe 23 Enigma and themselves made reference to the "23 Skiddoo" in Aliceister Crowleys "Book of the law"
