Belle did not tell me she was an activist, and she got arrested with her boyfriend who appears to be a leader of a group of activist that appear to be championing the homeless. Belle had told me at our meeting she wanted to be seen as a leader and spokesperson for an un-named radical cause.
“Yes, those are my hands in the RG. That was the first time I had ever appeared in the news as an activist.”
All of Belle did not appear in the news. It appears she did not want her face to be shown, so, someone wrote a message on her hands. I suspect her boyfriend, Ambrose Holtham-Keathley wrote Belle’s message. I suspect Belle has several people and entities occupying her.
What struck me about these hands was my long study of a mysterious priesthood in Judea that used hand-signing. They were there to name John the Baptist when he was eight days old. Leonardo is caught up in this hand-signing in several paintings. When Elizabeth and Mary are together with their sons, we see fingers pointing. When I first beheld Belle I was reminded of Anne, the mother of Mary who is a Nazarite. I am a Nazarite.
Meher Baba used hand-signing after he took a vow of silence. Baba contacted many Masts, and lay hands on them.
Yesterday, Marilyn told me about a speech she will give today about Community Unity and the Insprirational Sounds Gospel Choir M has sang in for almost 30 years. I also talked to Niesha, Marilyn’s daughter, whose life-direction was changed when she heard Balinese Gamelan. So was Antonin Artaud’s life changed when he beheld Balinese theatre. Antonin is the father of the modern theatre. Belle’s mother brought the Gamelan to the UofO where Niesha studied and played this music. Belle’s father created a Labyrinth Walk to go with Catherive Vandertuin’s music. Niesha was asked to revive the Gamelan. I suggested we do this together, for I am a Master of the Maze.
After I saw the photo of Belle’s hands, and understood she was taking shortcuts, I asked her to be my Disciple. Below is the secret of the first church made up of Parthian Magi, and Nazarites. I am a follower of Meher Baba since 1967. Marilyn introduced Jeff Pasternak to Yogananda, and this is why Jeff and Shannon moved to Eugene because he considered himself a disciple of Marilyn. Marilyn’s brother, Ron Ramos, taught Tai-Chi at the UofO, and had followers, disciples. I suspect Belle’s mother took Tai-Chi from Ron.
What I am is a Sage. Peter Townsend was a follower of Meher Baba. In the word AMAZING is MAZE. I see a journey into a maze. I see wayfarers doing a combination of Tai-Chi and Artaud’s Theatre of Cruelty. Life is a stage. Belle is a dancer. I beheld something special in Belle. Her destiny awaits!
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see.
He’s dressed in a silver sparked
Glittering gown
And His golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground.

Deaf Dumb and blind boy
He’s in a quiet vibration land
Strange as it seems his musical dreams
Ain’t quite so bad.
Ten years old
With thoughts as bold as thought can be
Loving life and becoming wise
In simplicity.
Sickness will surely take your mind
Where minds can’t usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
A vague haze of delerium
creeps up on me.
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see.
He’s dressed in a silver sparked
Glittering gown
And His golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground.
Nothing to hear and nothing to say
And nothing to see.
Each sensation makes a note in my symphony.
Sickness will surely take your mind
Where minds can’t usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know.
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey together you’ll ride.

In 1931, Artaud saw Balinese dance performed at the Paris Colonial Exposition. Although he did not fully understand the intentions and ideas behind traditional Balinese performance, it influenced many of his ideas for theatre.
There is a great richness of dance forms and styles in Bali; and particularly notable are those ritualistic dance dramas which involve Rangda, the witch and the great beast Barong. Most of dances in Bali are connected to Hindu rituals, such as the Sanghyang Dedari sacred dance than invoked hyang spirits that believed to possess the dancers in trance state during the performance.
Here is Baba contacting the Mast, the God intoxicated, those who go about naked, or in rags, who live in the gutter in filth. Baba contacted hundreds of these enlightened one that have been cast out. If Belle Burch had told me she was working with people on the streets, then we would have joined forces.

Yes, those are my hands in the RG. That was the first time I had ever appeared in the news as an activist.
Yes, I got a misdemeanor along with 11 other people for trying to talk to a silent and (cowardly) hiding John RUIZ.
I LOVE Crouching Tiger. It’s one of my favorites. The scene where the two young warrior lovers are in the bath together in the desert is my favorite part I think.
Is Bohemian a language as well as a place? Or are you referring to Romani? Was Romani the language that was spoken in Bohemia?
I’d like to hear more of your personal life story. “When I got sober”, “When I was homeless”, “When I was fighting cancer”……. these are words you drop and then let flit by without much detail or explanation or storytelling. I want those details and stories. Please.
Tell me what you thought of my poem. Did it make you feel anything? Did it make you think? If so, what?
Here is what is prophesised about John the Baptist by un-named priests;
“He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God.”
The same could be applied to Ezra who prepared THE WAY for his Lord and God – and not another prophet. John was born with THE HAND that points THE WAY – home!
“What then will this child be?” The hand of the Lord was with him.”
The news of the birth of John was broadcast “abroad”. Where is abroad? Babylon – Egypt?
There was no threat to slaughter the newborn by King Herod which caused Mary and Joseph into Egypt. I suspect Elizabeth and Zacahariah were bid to bring John to Egypt where an ancient school of Levite Prophets dwelt. However, “abroad” could mean overseas.
When the priests asked Zachariah what name his son would answer to, JOHN’S tongue was freed and he said;
“My name is John.”
John then wrote his name on a slate denoting he would be a great Scribe and Prophet after Ezra, because John wrote with the Hand of God.
“He asked (signed) for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.”
They all marveled. His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God. Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea. All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” The hand of the Lord was with him.
I suspect the Apocalyptic Ezra inspired Revelations that was written by John the Baptist – with the Hand of God. What is the penalty for alterig God’s Truth?
In the Koran, Jesus speaks the moment he is born. Wrong! Repent!

The apocalyptic Ezra traditionsThe apocalyptic fourth book of Ezra (also called the second book of Esdras) was written c.AD 100, probably in Hebrew-Aramaic. It was one of the most important sources for Jewish theology at the end of the 1st century. In this book, Ezra has a seven part prophetic revelation, converses with an angel or God three times and has four visions.
Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
ashamed to ask for a military escort – 8:22

Marilyn turned me onto Ravi Shankar. We would make-out to Sitar music in 1963. Marilyn would later turn Jeff Pasternak on Yogananda who I followed for a while before I became a Baba Lover. Jeff and I have gone to temple together. I saw Krishnamurti in person as did not grandmother when he first came to America. She used to hang out with Bisset when she lived in Ojai. Above is a photo of Marilyn taken by Jeff on a boat to France. This is a Bollywood script.
Bryan’s parents were in the Hollywood crowd. His father was a good friend of Robert Stack who had an affair with Liz Taylor. Bryan learned to swim in her pool, and dated Liza Minneli. They sang show tunes together on the piano at their parents parties.
While living in our tent, I gave Rena lessons on the Indian religion and Baba. Then she met her personal ascetics trainers. Meher Baba as a god-realized being begat Bollywood. His work with Christine and Rena came through me.
Rena would do well to gain trust in this lifetime, something she lacks. She is the Woodstock Generation. She should bring the Indian and Tibetan culture to Montana and connect foreigners with her mountains.
At Marilyn’s suggestion, several years ago I am chanting with Tenzin who brought the Dali Lama to Eugene last year.

When I returned from a meeting of Baba Lovers, who came to a seminary college from all over the world, my kindred offered me a new Bible. I was living in a small trailer on the McKenzie River. After reading all of Luke for the first time, I emerged from that trailer around 4:00 A.M. to behold the crescent moon and several stars that had gathered in a pine tree. I had just asked Jesus to come into the darkness of incest and he appeared with gold slivers of light radiating around him. He said this;
“Be not afraid. I and my Father in Heaven are already working on this matter. Spiritual Courage, will be met with Spiritual Courage.”
Since December 22nd I have posted a true prophecy. From Baba’s castle in Iran, I wondered if the Parthian Magi looked at the stars high in the mountains. The next day, comet Lovejoy appear in the heavens on December 23rd. I then posted on the Parthians war against Rome for the temple, the sons of Queen Helena of Adiabene, fighting along Jewish Saints and Nazarites, killing Roman troops because their mother was a famous Nazarite who gifted the Temple with a large golden Menorah, and golden words on the judged of Sotah, the woman accused of adultery.
Two days ago I blogged on the study that says Pharamond was the grandson of a Parthian, who married Rosamond, and begat the Merovingian Long-haired Kings of France, who some say are kindred of Mary Magdalene and Jesus, who fled to France. The Rosamond name will forever be associated with this legend of Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, who is sometimes called ‘The Rose of the World’.

On December 23, at 7:26 A.M. I found this essay that says Joachem and Anna, the parents of Mary, are the Parthian Prince Nakeb Adiabene, and his wife, Parthian Princess Grapte Kharax. They pray to the God of the Jews for a child, for Grapte’s womb has been shut. This is the Nazarite birth of Hanah and Elizabeth. Did this royal coupl eof Adiabene take the vow of the Nazarite, as did Queen Helena of Adiabene. Has the hidden truth been reborn this day?
“A Jewish merchant named Ananias, from whom the couple had bought much jewelry—among other wares—convinced the royal couple to convert to Judaism, and to pray to the god of the Jews (Yahweh, Jehovah), “who will surely bless them with an offspring.” The persuasion was successful, and Prince Adiabene is given the name Joachim in the Jewish religion, and his wife becomes Anna.”
I have been called mad, and forsaken by my family. I do not know if this essay speaks the truth. What I do know, is, I was childless, and then God gifted me with a child – after I took the vow of the Nazarite.
Jon the Nazarite
Meanwhile, Prince Adiabene travels to Sippar, Mesopotamia, to look up the head of the magi, one of his teachers whom he had known since childhood. He confesses that he had prayed to the Jewish Jehovah for nearly twenty years, and had generously participated in every religious sacrifice. But despite his efforts, God had not given him a child. Then:
“The Head-magus replied: ‘God glorified in Eternal Light will never do for us what we can do for ourselves, or what others can do for us. He gave us strength, ability and wisdom so we may become His allies in the maintenance of the Order of Creation, and to advocate and practice His glorification by way of the Light of Knowledge. Your wife, Princess Grapte’s family has enjoyed physical and intellectual health throughout generations. Take her to the magus-woman midwife Ywissa, our best physician for helping childless women, and you will see that your wife, Princess Grapte, will give birth, since she is still of childbearing age.’
The customary reference to the Parthians is the Parthian Empire. However, empire in this case is a misnomer. To be precise, it is a monarchy. The Arsacid Dynasty unites and rules all the feudal principalities and kingdoms of the Parthians’ territories, similar to the centralization of power (to which they gave the title, [in free translation] the “lords of the four parts of the world”) their predecessors, the Sumerians achieved with the accord of their city-states. One of these is the principality of Persia (the later Sassanids). Another is the Kingdom of Adiabene. However, all of these principalities and kingdoms are under the authority of the four kings of the Arsacid Dynasty who reign as monarchs over Armenia, Parthia, Indo-Parthia and Habdal-Hunnia (White Huns), in the Caspian-Aral-Oxus region. Due to the sheer size of their land, their political and military strength, the commonality of their race, language and religious beliefs, the Parthians are known as one of the three, distinct peoples of the time: Senecce Lucious Anneus (3-65 A.D.) writes:
“The gene pools of Mankind are the Greek, the Roman, and the Parthian.”

Ghazals, usually sung in Persian or Urdu in the sufi and Islamic traditions of spiritual discipline, have a very formal structure of two-line verses, each line divided in two parts. The last part usually ends with the same words throughout the entire song. Meher Baba wrote in Persian, Hindi, Urdu and Gujerati. It is customary for the author to identify himself by name in the last verse. Meher Baba’s literary name, Huma, refers to the Persian “bird of Paradise,” similar to the Egyptian phoenix, which is superior to all other birds in ability to fly, and which consumes itself in fire every few hundred years, only to rise anew from the ashes. It joins both the male and female natures together in one body, each sharing a wing and a leg. It avoids killing for food, rather preferring to feed on carrion. The Persians teach that great blessings come to that person on whom the huma’s shadow falls.

Above is a photo of my sister Vicki poised to touch me while I am in a blissful trance. Is she mocking me? Am I mad and deluded to believe I own God-Realization? Should I pick up a gun and Bible and hunker down in my end of the world bunker, instead?
We are on the brink of disaster. If Romney and Ryan take the White House it will be the end of caring for the poor around the world, and the beginning of an evil crusade against Islam.
Meher Baba came to join all religions together in harmony. As the Rose of the World, I took up his cause in 1968. Masts (sadhus) are the God-Intoxicated Ones that many say are just the mad and homeless. In their evil plan to create a have and have not America, the Christian-right will create thousands of sadhus that will flock to the malls and supermarkets with their bowls and blankets. The greedy and vain will have to walk over them as they gleefully buy more stuff to make their friends jealous of them.
In the Christmas scene in Tommy we see my drunken father the Leo who had to be the center of attention, and getting drunk with his family was a way to keep the focus on him. I escaped inward, and my art toured the world in a Red Cross show while in school. Two books and a screen play were written by authors who tried to make my late sister a Art Martyr in her family. They failed. This attempt is incredibly telling. Christine Rosamond was just as damaged by the abuse of our parents, she suffering from mental illness most of her life. Yet, she would go into a trance in order to capture her Beautiful Rosamond Women. Is there a spiritual connection?
The truth is just a touch away. Repent!
In this photo we see a blonde off to the left. This is Vicki’s childhood freind, Pip, who died of accute alcoholism, as did Karen, Vicki’s freind since she was six. Vicki took care of them as they died, she at their side whn they passed. We talked about my little sister’s pain before Icame to Bullhead City to help unite my sober family. We thought it was all over, but, then come that devil, Bill Cornwell, with a bottle of beer in his hand, he born on Vic’s birthday, he hell-bent on getting all the attention – starting with my grandson, Tyler Hunt.
For those who suffer the life-threatening disease of alcoholism, I bid you to take the vow of the Nazarite, and emerse yourself in water.
Jon the Nazarite
Before terminating the seclusion, the fast and the extensive tours for contacting masts, Baba declared that He would touch 7,000 sadhus. This decision did not come as a surprise to some of Baba’s old disciples, as some twenty years ago, while traveling in the Nilgiri hills, Baba had said that He would once contact 7,000 sadhus.
The quaint town of Mattura seems in harmony with ancient pastoral times. As we approached the place along the river where Krishna played with His “gopis,” a youngish man wearing what is called a fool’s cap sat on the steps playing his flute. So sweetly he played that one was attracted to this “court jester,” and the ancient “song of Krishna” which he was rendering is one of the most beautiful in India…. The moment this man noticed Baba, he stopped his playing and in a voice loud enough for those with Baba to hear said, “Here comes the Flute Player,” which is the other name for Krishna.
All the time we went about the small town, this mendicant followed Baba or ran ahead. How he smiled at Baba! Just around the bend of the street we would hear his flute sounds. It was like a haunting melody. He didn’t want money, he didn’t want anything and when he passed several people smiled, thinking him to be a “fool” with his dancing steps and flute. Towards the end he seemed to become almost ecstatic and our guide, thinking he was annoying us, tried to drive him away with a stick. Upon this, Baba immediately protected him and gave the guide to understand He liked it. Baba told us that this was the man for whom He had come. There are “fools of God” who often take this guise so the world will pass them by, in order to accomplish freely their own work.
Baba embraced him and stroked his cheek and gave him two coins. Just before returning to the bus, extraordinary greetings or signals went on between Baba and this mendicant…. As Baba drove off in the bus, we saw him dancing on tip-toe, like the Pied Piper of Hamlin and waving his flute in a most rapturous manner. Some old hard-faced priests standing near the temple looked at him scornfully and then the contagion of joy was so great that even they too smiled.
Who is a Mast?
Masts are God-intoxicated souls. They are intoxicated by Divine Love. Their external behaviour often is like that of an insane or mad person. The glimpses of divinity that they get are accompanied by a joy that breaks through any type of sordid composure. One state of unbalanced exaltation is replaced by another state of unbalanced exaltation. A mast may be on any plane of consciousness. Some masts get stuck on the inner planes. They are over powered by the onflow of grace and love, and get into a state of divine stupor. They are entirely absorbed in the “beautific vision.”
The principal sensation of a mast is this permanent enjoyment of divine intoxication. The creation is full of bliss and the mast enjoys this bliss and thereby becomes intoxicated to an almost unlimited extent, virtually consuming him and absorbing him and thereby making the world around him vanish. Absorbed in God, such a person is continually absorbed in thinking about God, and with that comes like a bolt of pure love consuming him further in a state of divine intoxication.
Masts do not suffer from what may be called a disease. They are in a state of mental disorder because their minds are overcome by such intense spiritual energies that are far too much for them, forcing them to lose contact with the world, shed normal human habits and customs, and civilized society and live in a state of spiritual splendour but physical squalor.
How does it happen that some men and women become masts?
There are those who have become masts whose minds have become unbalanced through unceasing dwelling upon thoughts of God so that they neglect all normal human requirements. There are those whose minds have become unbalanced by sudden contact with a highly advanced spiritual being. There are those who have sought spiritual experience and have met a crisis from which they do not recover. What characterizes all masts is their concentration upon the love of God. (pp 2031 Lord Meher Vol. 6)
Significance of Baba’s mast-contact:
Baba, by His contact with masts, gives effective guidance and a spiritual push. He initiates masts into a greater clarity and lucidity of consciousness, into a deeper ecstasy, a purer and more expansive love, and into a truer stronger creativity of response. Baba draws them out of the “self-sufficiency state” of being absorbed in the Divine Love to a state of rendering true service to others who are in need of spiritual help. A mast can therefore be a more effective agent for spiritual work than the most able persons of the gross world. The mast mind is also often used directly by Baba as medium for sending his spiritual help to different parts of the world.
Ananias
Among Ananias’ most prominent converts were several women of high position at the court, particularly the princess Symacho, the king’s daughter. This princess married Izates bar Monobaz, a young prince who had been sent to Abennerig’s court by his parents, Monobaz I and Helena, the rulers of Adiabene.

http://www.keyway.ca/htm2001/20010718.htm
Ananias, the Greek version of the Hebrew name Hananyah, meaning Jehovah (or The Lord) has been gracious, was a disciple of Jesus Christ (not to be confused with the other two men named Ananias in the New Testament: the husband of Sapphira i.e. Acts 5:1-11, and Ananias the high priest before whom Paul was tried in Jerusalem i.e. Acts 23:1-5). Ananias lived in Damascus at a time when one of the most significant events of Bible History occurred: the conversion of the Pharisee Saul into the apostle Paul On The Road To Damascus. It was Ananias who The Lord sent to lay hands upon and baptize Saul to remove his physical, and spiritual, blindness.
Meanwhile, Prince Adiabene travels to Sippar, Mesopotamia, to look up the head of the magi, one of his teachers whom he had known since childhood. He confesses that he had prayed to the Jewish Jehovah for nearly twenty years, and had generously participated in every religious sacrifice. But despite his efforts, God had not given him a child.

Graves described The White Goddess as “a historical grammar of the language of poetic myth.” The book draws from the mythology and poetry of Wales and Ireland especially, as well as that of most of Western Europe and the ancient Middle East. Relying on arguments from etymology and the use of forensic techniques to uncover what he calls ‘iconotropic’ redaction of original myths, Graves argues for the worship of a single goddess under many names, an idea that came to be known as “Matriarchal religion” in feminist theology of the 1970s.

Meher Baba visited the Dunites who lived in flimsy shelters in the sand dunes at Pismo Beach California. Here lived poets and philosophers of another Back to Basics and the Earth Movement where materialism and the worship of money was frowned upon. Baba declared his mission in America was to destroy our love of materialism. This morning I found an article that concludes what I concluded four years ago, that Prosperity theology led Christians to buy homes they could not afford, thus causing the Mortgage Meltdown.
Five years ago I concluded Jesus was born in a Sukkot booth, and not a manger. These booths were temporary shelters wherein the Exodus from slavery is celebrated. This is a return to the wilderness and humble roots. Jesus goes into the wilderness and is tempted, he offered kingdoms and gold. He turns his Advisary down, and begins his ministry, which is to restore the Jubilee.
Meher Baba descends from the Persian Magi. He made it his mission to contact the Mast, the homeless mystics, whom he personally bathed. Consider Newt Gingrich appealing to the Lucky & Wealthy Evangelical heresy.
“Every dog has his day.”
Evangelical Vanity has brought our nation to the brink of ruin. It has corrupted our political system, and declared war on the poor.
On this day I found the AMERICAN TENTMAKERS OF AMERICA. This is both a Secular and Religious organization based upon the Jublilee and the lost cosmology of the Nazarites that made a home within for the Holy Spirit. the ATA will model itself after the Chautauqua Tents that my grandfather mention in his story ‘Camping On Anacapa’. Royal Rosamond took Lillian to visit the Dunites of Oxnard.
“It was a glorious summer morning at the Chautauqua at Ventura-by-the-sea.”
I offer a religious umbrella to the Occupy Tents. I founded a Nazarite Church in 1997. I am the Minister of that church.
I see large ATA Tents in all major cities wherein the homeless work making white hand-stitched canvas tents for sale. There will be traveling ATA Tents wherein folks perform music, read poetry, and hold seminars on how to live a humble non-materialistic Arcadian Life, as promoted by Royal’s freinds, Homer Croy and Otto Rayburn.
Royal met with Croy about publishing his novel ‘Bound In This Clay’. Croy wrote ‘They Had To See Paris’ starring the humorist Will Rogers who championed the Poor, and demonized the Bankers during the Great Depression.
Let us raise our Tents in the Wilderness – and take back America from the false prophets. Let there be a New Dawn, and a revived pertinence in America!

Hollywood and the “Dunites,” 1934
Meher Baba returned to Hollywood in 1934, avoiding publicity and instead working with a number of screenwriters and filmmakers on proposed film projects. During the earlier 1932 visit he had met a spiritual seeker named Sam Cohen, a Theosophist and resident of a loosely knit freethinkers’ community named “Moy Mell” nestled among the dunes on the beach at Oceano, California. The benefactor of this group of intellectuals, spiritual seekers, artists and social misfits was Chester Alan Arthur III, grandson of the 21st President, who went by the name of Gavin. For a time Gavin published a magazine called the Dune Forum, which included articles by such notables as Stuart Edward White (author of the spiritualist classic, The Unobstructed Universe), and photographic contributions by Ansel Adams and Edward Weston (whose dune photographs are well-known).
Gavin would frequently entertain the intellectual and artistic elite of America at his cabin in the dunes. Although accounts differ somewhat, it appears that Baba sent disciple Meredith Starr and his wife to Moy Mell in 1932, and that they stayed on for a period of time (this was approximately a year and a half before Meredith’s defection). When Baba returned to Hollywood in 1934, he agreed to visit the “Dunite” community. On the evening of Christmas day (accounts different as to the exact days), Baba arrived with eighteen of his followers, including Norina Matchabelli, wife of Georges Matchabelli, known for the popular perfume brand. Norina had previously arranged for a special cabin to be built for Baba, but he chose instead to stay in Gavin’s cabin. Gavin was not in Moy Mell at the time, and it was decided that he wouldn’t mind.
There was also a Theosophical center called the Temple of the People in nearby Halcyon, founded in 1904 with the intent of preparing for the arrival of the next incarnation of the Avatar, but there is no record of Baba visiting it.(21)
