Bed of Nails & The Inner Circle
While recently deconstructing the tale of my visit on a bed of nails in the desert some years ago- I recounted my crazy experience with Chan in Jim Mason's procession to the inner circle carting flame thrower fire cannons -aka the Impotence Compensation.
Big Fire Cannons around the Man a.k.a. Impotence Compensation Project
by Jim Mason, 1998
Once again on the night of the burn the Man will be saluted by Jim Mason's fire cannons. Four cannons will circle the Man, shooting out flames to a height of 120 feet. In front of the Man another cannon will blast out a tower of fire 160 feet in the air. The Fire Cannons will perform for us a very high-altitude pyrotechnic ballet, monumental, overwhelming, and curiously intimate.
We still think about that V-8 Engine margarita mixer Jim brought around town in those days. Pix to come...(can't find that Bed Of Nails one, but found this of my PIC Cyn)

Striped IceBergs
Amazing striped icebergs
Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.
Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet
Fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can
Freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a
Green stripe.
Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up
When the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.

Aromatherapy Baths
Aromatherapy Baths
From Golden Aromatherapy.
One wonderful way to use essential oils is in aromatherapy baths.
Aromatherapy baths is a great way to de-stress and decontaminate the
bodies,
The use of essential oils will add different colored energies to the
baths.
Such as sandalwood adds green prana, Frankincense adds orange prana,
Eucalyptus adds orange, Rose adds Pink Prana, Lavender adds bluish
violet.
Different color combinations enhance the purifying and Healing
effects.
Master Choa Kok Sui recommended putting the oils into the salt,
mixing it in, then putting them into the bath.
When Blessed oils are added to salt baths, scanning reveals that the
Water and salt also become highly energized.
When the blessed oil is added to the water, the water becomes
Blessed, a Baptism by water. When the body is submerged in the water
tremendous purification takes place Physically, mentally,
Emotionally, spiritually.
The energetic properties help to disintegrate negative, repressed and
blocked energies in the energy centers and aura of the
Users.
Healing bath- 5 drops of each of these - Patchouli, cedarwood, black
pepper, tea tree, sandalwood oil, spikenard oil, clove oil
Energizing bath- rosemary, eucalyptus, lemon oil, peppermint oil,
black pepper

Jasmine, Neroli, Lavender, Ylang Ylang and 3 pounds salt.

Let It Grow
Let It Grow
by Eric Clapton
Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer,
And all the time I know,
Plant your love and let it grow.
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow.
Looking for a reason to check out of my mind,
Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on,
But there's nothing left to show,
Plant your love and let it grow.
Chorus
Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do.
Only ask and you will get what you are needing,
The rest is up to you.
Plant your love and let it grow.

Friendly Fire - Lennon
Like this record from Sean Lennon. Backstory below - Source: Times UK On-line
Friendly Fire is a collection of songs about the end of his four-year relationship with the actress and musician Bijou Phillips, after she slept with his best friend, Max LeRoy. Lennon, heartbroken at being betrayed, poured his anger into a bitter song called Dead Meat, now the opener on his album. “Dead meat,” he croons over a disarmingly sweet music-box melody. “You’re nothing but dead meat… You’re gonna get what you deserve.”
The tragic punch line to this romantic soap opera is that LeRoy is now dead. “He passed away in a motorcycle crash last November,” explains Lennon sadly. The pair had been friends since childhood, living across the hall from each other, and had often shared a room as boys. “We were like twins,” he adds. After LeRoy died, Lennon “flipped out” and threw himself into making Friendly Fire — the oxymoronic title an allusion to the truism that you always end up hurting the ones you love. “I thought I had learnt to let go of things after my dad passed away,” he says. “But this definitely tested that. I knew my friend for 30 years, as opposed to five.”
Lennon and LeRoy never made up, something that still haunts the singer: “I think the thing I regret most is that Max isn’t around for me to reconcile with him. That’s probably one of the greatest tragedies that has ever befallen me.” He is adamant that the album, which chronicles his feelings in song — anger turning to sadness, leaving the clear impression that he is still in love with Phillips — is not meant to be taken too literally. “It’s art, not life, you know. I’m mythologising my life, but ‘myth’ is the key word. It’s not a documentation of the way things actually happened.”
