Planes, waves, earthquakes and alien life

Everyone’s still amazed and relieved after the “miraculous, heroic” crash landing of US Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson river today. All 155 people on board are safe. Already a few interesting comments, one from Collaborate with Fate on the astrological resonance to 9/11, and some cool synchs from Thuther over [...]

Our Spiritual Natures vs. Influencing Agendas

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 [...]

Notes from the Surf XV

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 [...]

Fiberglass and Resin

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 [...]

Surfing Quetzalcoatl

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 [...]

Residing in the Center…

Yes, things have been crazy around here. I am working on a few ideas right now but for whatever reason the Tao has me surfing other breaks at the moment. I’ll be here soon…It’s All Good …

 

There is a time for being ahead,

Rough Surfing

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 [...]

Notes from the Surf VI

If you’re a fan of Monty Python as I am you’ll find this serious research on ‘silly walking‘ quite silly indeed.

Put your tinfoil caps away, folks. Seems like all they’re doing is amplifying the government’s mind control frequencies.

Think you can avoid RFID chips? Now they come in a new, convenient powder! [...]

On Love and Letting Go

“Striving to increase awareness of our spiritual natures as well as the news, technologies and agendas which influence them.”

Well it’s obvious there is quite enough material to keep us busy on the “news, technologies and agendas” part of that mission statement. It’s the “increasing awareness of our spiritual natures” part that can [...]

The Perfect Wave

Some of you might already know a little about me and how my life changed so drastically nearly eight years ago. Since then I’ve seen the world, and the Universe, with new eyes and an awakened soul, now charged with pointing out the strange and impractical as I’d never seen them before.
