Something to think about from RealitySandwich.com...
Is Ayahuasca an Alien Intelligence?
Has ayahuasca arrived on Earth with a mission to save the planet? More than a few seasoned shamanic journeyers have come to this conclusion.
Clearly, encounters with the spirit vine deepen your appreciation for the plant kingdom — for all of nature — which is well timed for our era of ecological crisis. And the heart healing that ayahuasca catalyzes strikes many as an ideal antidote to the most damaging aspects of contemporary society. But is there more to it than that? Does ayahuasca have an intention? Do other plant spirit teachers, such as mushrooms, peyote, and iboga? Entheogenic veterans frequently report encounters with distinct, other worldly intelligences during their psychedelic excursions. Are these truly independent consciousnesses, separate from the self? Where do they come from? Read more at [DeOxy.org]

"The Jupiter Plan: Anarchy at Amalthea", 
60 chapters and 150,000 words of sci-fi mystery! The author writes: "Yes, another literary triumph from the World's Most Under-Rated Author. Our story begins 400 years into Tomorrowland, when corruption and poor practices in Earth's by then 100-year-old raw-materials program at the moons of Jupiter, are the topic of two-year investigation by two men from the Planetary Program Proficiency agency, leading to a deep dark secret exploding from within the hellish depths of Jupiter herself, and an epic Water Logic War, originating elsewhere in the ancient Galaxy, as Earth takes her first baby-steps to full membership in the Milky Way society of planets and worlds.

Bill Holmes of Humboldt, A Tribute -
From Verbena (from PARC, for human-rights and the houseless, [youcaring.com link]): We miss you, miss you, miss you, Bill. Thanks for being in our lives. I was at this show at Old Town Coffee (video links below). Bill hired my friend, Robert (who was learning video stuff) to film him. SO glad he did that!!
** "Even the Man on the Moon is crying" [Youtube.com link]
** "Glad I'm not dead" [Youtube.com link]
** "Dirty lil' town" [Youtube.com link]
More tributes:
** "Bill Holmes stood for social justice" obituary [Times-Standard.com link] (archive.org)
** "Bill Got out" [radmul.blogspot.com/2014/08/bill-got-out.html]
** "Of Songs and sad songs", from Shalia: Sorrowful day to hear of Bill's passing.  I remember him as being so vibrant with a smile that would bring some sun shine on foggy Eureka benches. My thoughts are with you all- his family and friends, he certainly touched a lot of people, contributed so much to the local culture. His rendition of the Stones' 'waiting on a friend' was the best ever, epic really. I remember him well for it.
** "Local Activist, Blogger and Musician Has Died" [tomsebourn.blogspot.com/2014/09/local-activist-blogger-and-musician-has.html]
** Tribute from Martin Cotton (Sr.): I had the pleasure to have worked, laughed, cryed, and loved the beautiful people in our lives. I will miss our conversations,  Bill Holmes. Love and respect.

Feedback (a poem)

By Indi Riverflow | September 5, 2013

I can’t tell what’s left or right
Which way is up or down
If I’ve hit a dangerous height
Or if we’re grazing near the ground
Can’t see where we’re heading
If it’s back to where I’ve been
Since I’m flyin’ blind
If you’d be so kind
Open a line and fill me in
Please open a line and fill me in

Static from this feedback loop
Sounds exactly like your voice
I keep asking myself
What are the chances of a choice?

Hit the dunes without a guide
Or compass to point the way
The buggy I had hoped to ride
Became a burden to convey
The footing keeps sliding
Buried up to my chin
Since I’m in a bind
If you wouldn’t mind
Toss me a line and bring me in
Won’t you toss me a line and bring me in?

Static from this feedback loop
Sounds exactly like your voice
I keep asking myself
What are the chances of a choice?

While you wait I must bide
Hanging limbo without a stick
On the other side of our steep divide
And the trail’s getting slick
If I had my way it’d be yesterday
Cause this doubt is wearing thin
But I’d settle for a sign
Just few feet of vine
Or a scrap of twine to tie me in
Yeah, a scrap of twine to tie me in

Static from this feedback loop
Sounds exactly like your voice
I keep asking myself
What are the chances of a choice?

Drifting now and falling free
Frozen with all this liberty
Are we in space or are we at sea?
Sailing under veils of uncertainty
Wavering grip keeps slipping
Gravity wants to win
It’s quite a grind
So if you find the time
Shoot me a line and clue me in
Now won’t you shoot me a line and clue me in?

Join us for our Friday Night gallery show featuring photos of Rara Tou Limen rendered by Atis Rezistans artist Fanel Duce. Lets celebrate with drums, drink specials and dinner.
From Oakland, California, Rara Tou Limen Dance Company has an objective to help nurture and grow Haitian dance and musical traditions in the Bay Area. Accompanied by dancers, vocalists and celebrated musicians, the company brings to the stage a wide spectrum of diverse Haitian dance forms, from vibrant rituals of Vodou, the turbulent legacy of political struggle, to the celebratory and festive dances of Carnival, Rara Tou Limen is at the cutting edge of the evolution of Haitian dance and music in the Bay Area. The use of traditional rhythms, chants and movement integrates the grace, strength, fluidity and precision of Haitian folkloric dance.
From Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, Project Hope Art gives a voice to those survivors of the Haitian tent Camps. Project HOPE Art uses art as a vehicle to inspire, to educate and to create intentional whimsy. We work with children in hospitals, orphanages, schools and communities in disaster stricken areas, utilizing art to help establish self esteem, self expression, self respect and stress relief for our students. We create art for art’s sake, while educating through our art, science, nutrition and literacy programs. We twirl in tutus and face paint because it’s good for the soul. Since our inception in January 2010 we have made multiple trips to Haiti and have recently launched a Visiting Artist Program, creating a sustainable way for artists in any medium to share their creativity with our kids and project partners as we strive towards our mission to inspire, heal and improve the quality of life for children in need.
