| Bodhidharma, 7/4/96 - 5/2/08 |
| 2008-05-02 23:13:47 |
We lost our special, darling boy today. Words cannot describe how wonderful and important this dog has been to our family, and he will be missed so intensely.
Everyone thinks their dog is the most special, and indeed that is how it should be. But let me just tell you a few [...]...

| Be the Eye of the Hurricane |
| 2008-04-21 23:48:21 |
There is a quiet place, within yourself, away from the storm. In the center of the whipping winds and stinging rain, there is sunlight, peace and tranquility.
This world, and often this blog, is often full of the terrible side of life – the things people should know about, don’t really want to know about, [...]...

| Our Spiritual Natures vs. Influencing Agendas |
| 2008-04-04 00:22:38 |
Please note a couple of excellent recent articles by two of my esteemed ‘blogeagues’, Kingsley Dennis and Neil Kramer, whose insights and intelligence continue to inspire me here at Surfing the Tao.
Neil Kramer has blessed us yet again with another thoughtful post over at The Cleaver, entitled What Lies Beneath: Is Belief a Big Con? [...]...

Pele is on the move out here. The vog is getting really bad. And in another unprecedented event, Kilauea is releasing steam from what is being called juvenile water, which has never been seen before anywhere on the planet.
Saturn storm has hurricane-like features. “Massive whirling vortex” has scientists perplexed. Really? [...]...

| Nassim Haramein: “Crossing the Event Horizon” |
| 2008-03-22 18:02:51 |
Recently I had the good fortune to come across a copy of Nassim Haramein’s DVD set, “Crossing the Event Horizon.” I would highly recommend a watch to anyone looking for an excellent interpretation of concepts ranging from Unified Field Theory, fractal geometrical realities, and the torque of spacetime, to crop circles, the pyramids, ancient [...]...

| Daniel Brenton: “We Know Why the Aliens Really Don’t Land†|
| 2008-02-27 13:01:37 |
Aloha and good morning to all fellow truth seekers. Today I am moved to share with you a post written not by me, but by Daniel Brenton, whose blog “High Oddness: The Universe According to Daniel Brenton†has me in stitches. Delightfully thought-provoking, Daniel’s universe also contains a wit and wisdom that will [...]...

Here’s the latest in internet rumors; is Barack Obama the antichrist? Apparently many think so. What’s for sure is the near hysteria he seems to leave in his wake.
For a dose of reality in an unreal world, check out Neil Kramer’s new post Crossing the Rubicon: Breaking the Fake News Trance over at [...]...

| Asleep at the controls in Hawaii, or hyperdimensional vortice? |
| 2008-02-22 14:31:24 |
Here in Hawaii at least, you can’t have missed the bizarre news that two go! airlines pilots seem to have fallen asleep and overshot their landing in Hilo. This happened over a week ago on February 13. Today it was announced those offending pilots had been suspended. For a thirty or so [...]...

| An eclipse, a meteor, a satellite and a couple of earthquakes |
| 2008-02-20 19:51:34 |
Following up on yesterday’s post about the satellite shoot down, I can’t help but notice all the synchronicities that seemed to line up in the news. My sixth sense is whispering; something is going on.
The shuttle Atlantis mission landed safely earlier today. A lunar eclipse will turn the moon red tonight [...]...

| Satellite Shoot-out: Deploying Sea-based X-band radar |
| 2008-02-18 22:20:20 |
Will we ever really know the whole truth behind the government’s plans to shoot down that rogue satellite? The Pentagon’s explanation includes concern about a toxic gas cloud exploding over a populated area. Other analysts scoff at this, according to Noel Shachtman’s excellent blog at Danger Room, saying the likelihood that it would [...]...

| Time Travel Futures |
| 2008-02-12 04:24:24 |
“Scientists say that time travel could be a reality in just three months.”
Notwithstanding that unapologetically paradoxical statement, one cannot help but entertain vivid Dr. Who fantasies of a blue phone booth swirling and landing in the neighborhood. Is it really time?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN, Switzerland, the world’s [...]...

| The Political Charade, Act I: Sheep on a Merry-Go-Round |
| 2008-02-06 22:15:29 |
Neatly coinciding with the programming void left by the Hollywood writer’s strike, the primary elections have taken on the buzz and excitement normally reserved for the best reality TV shows. Final prize: the Presidency of the United States. Who will get eliminated this week??
In fact I don’t doubt that the drama isn’t as carefully [...]...

You may sneer, but our weather here in Hawaii has been much colder than usual this winter. We’ve had several large and destructive storms, and Hilo is getting ravaged again right now. And it’s the same story all over the world. Is it global warming, the next ice age, or maybe Planet X? What about [...]...

| Love, Psycho-cryptography and the Noosphere |

“I believe that the World Wide Web is, as a matter of fact, the noogenesis of the noosphere.” - Ralph Abraham, The Evolutionary Mind (1988)
Lawrence Hagerty wrote in The Spirit of the Internet,“…the Internet is not the noosphere. It is merely an infrastructure that is now available for the noosphere to use.” Hagerty goes [...]...

| Planet X, the Man on Mars, and Heath Ledger |
| 2008-01-22 23:25:44 |
I am consistently brought back again and again to thoughts of Planet X. It seems no matter where I look these days, something or someone is reminding me of the warnings I’ve had in my own spirit now for many years, and it seems to be accelerating. Reading the Kolbrin Bible recently (ok, [...]...

Truly well done article on the astrological forecast for 2008 over at Reality Sandwich.

| Pearls Before Whine |
| 2007-12-30 03:46:40 |
“Every pearl has its oyster.” - Randall Jarrell
I don’t believe in coincidence. I’ve gotten myself into quite a few prolonged conversations on that point; but the fact remains, for myself, there is only synchronicity and wisdom hidden amongst the layers of daily experience. It’s only up to us to look for them.
Maybe it’s [...]...

In her own words, why she wanted to return to Pakistan. And ten years ago, again in her own words, five days in her life.
Why now; things seem to be spiraling quickly now and I’m just paying attention to all notes. Feel free to post links to other interesting notes on this....

Climate change is in the news. And it’s not just the UN Climate Change Commission in Bali, which recently completed negotiations for its new Bali Roadmap, the successor pact to the Kyoto Protocols regarding greenhouse gas emissions, slated to go into effect in 2013. News about all sorts of crazy weather patterns [...]...

Had a nice day at the beach today following days and days of stormy weather here after a ‘Kona low‘ hit the state. Check out some photos of the damage. Felt kind of like the phantom hurricane we were supposed to have in back in August. Blizzards on Mauna Kea and Mauna [...]...

My surfboard is woven of millions of tiny threads of wisdom, cemented by the love with which I am gratefully surrounded. Without it I could not withstand the endless pounding of the waves – ultra-strangeness in the world, as well as in my own life. My toes grab hold, the wax which is [...]...

I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Feels like yesterday I wrote a post on 11:11 in honor of this day and the strange reoccurence of these numbers. Interesting I keep getting comments and emails about this topic. Here is my old post, and here it is at my old Blogspot [...]...

Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano update: lava now flowing through a lava tube, which means it could go farther and faster. No one is “officially” worried but I know people living down there who are on edge.
Comet Holmes still getting brighter and now has a tail. Check out this photo gallery.

Readers may know Rabindranath Tagore is near and dear to my heart. He is mentor, master, and gentle guiding spirit. Often it is his words that teach and soothe me above all others. I found the following essay, “Pagal” or “The Mad Spirit” from an earlier work Bangadarshan, which he reprinted in [...]...

Just a couple of things this morning before I’m off for the day…
Wanted to get a note in about Comet Holmes‘ spectacular and mysterious ignition. Google it and you’ll find all sort of other sites talking about it. This one caught my attention – I know, again with the astrology thing – but [...]...

Through the Looking Glass has some interesting comments on the California firestorms, and also points out an old USA Today article from 2003 that suggests the FBI knew of a terrorist plot to start wildfires…sounds like an episode of “24”…but where was Jack Bauer? There are reports officials are investigating possible arson. Astrology isn’t [...]...

Journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, self-proclaimed cynic and son of Beatnik parents, transversed the realms of the psychic and the psychedelic, as well as his own personal drama, to bring us his version of the Eschaton in his book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl. His scholarly prose is punctuated with radical, apocalyptic refrains which underscore his [...]...

When life hits you hard
hit back harder
Will the struggle to make ends meet
and keep loved ones near when an ocean divides,
and health is threatened
really make me stronger?
All I have is the Tao; all I need is love;
all I crave is peace and harmony.
I know those things are already here;
just big, scary waves today folks.
My lifeguards [...]...

After our experience here in Hawaii last month and A Kean Eye’s noted follow-ups on the “hurriquake” phenomenon, just paying closer attention to this synchronous news.
On Friday, Lorenzo blew the roofs off 2000 houses and drove tens of thousands of people from their homes in Mexico, killing three; in Finland, a spectacular “superbolide” meteor lit [...]...

| The Tao of Where |
| 2007-09-26 11:40:16 |
On any journey of self-discovery and seeking the unknowable, one cannot help but notice the inextricable and inevitable influence of place upon progress-to-date – until, of course, one reaches the place of no-place.
Though my own metaphysical journey started in Los Angeles, it quickly became clear that at least for me, further advancement wasn’t going to [...]...

| Sway, float, balance |
| 2007-09-10 04:50:15 |
Learn to sway in the wind or you’ll break. No matter how many times the gales blow, it’s always the same.
Float down the center of the rapids, don’t try to swim against the current. No matter how often the rains come, it’s always the same.
Balance over the abyss but don’t fall in. [...]...
