What the Motorcycle Said
Br-r-r-am-m-m, rackerty-am-m, OM, AM:
All-r-r-room, r-r-ram, ala-bas-ter-
Am, the world’s my oyster.
I hate plastic, wear it black and slick,
hate hardhats, wear one on my head,
That’s what the motorcycle said.
Passed phonies in Fords, knockede down billboards, landed
On the other side of The Gap, and Whee,
bypassed history.
When I was born (The Past), baby knew best.
They shook when I bawled, took Freud’s path,
threw away their wrath.
R-r-rackety-am-m. Am. War, rhyme,
soap, meat, marriage, the Phantom Jet
are sh*t, and like that.
Hate pompousness, punishment, patience, am into Love,
hate middle-class moneymakers, live on Dad,
that’s what the motorcycle said.
Br-r-r-am-m-m. It’s Nowsville, man. Passed Oldies, Uglies,
Straighties, Honkies. I’ll never be
mean, tired, or unsexy.
Passed cigarette suckers, souses, mother-fuckers,
losers, went back to Nature and found
how to get VD, stoned.
Passed a cow, too fast to hear her moo, “I rolled
our leaves of grass into one ball.
I am the grassy All.”
Br-r-r-am-m-m, rackety-am-m, OM, Am:
All-gr-r-rin, oooohgah, gl-l-utton-
Am, the world’s my smilebutton.

One thing she did know was the greatest book on human psychology is the Bible.

If you were a jet-set woman who believed in sleeping around, VD or no VD, you could always say Mary Magdalene had no husband, but didn't she wash the feet of Our Lord? Wasn't she the first person to see our risen saviour? If, in the other hand, you believed in the inferiority of the blacks, you could always say, 'Slaves, obey your masters.' It is a mysterious book, one of the greatest of all books, if not the greatest. Hasn't it got all the answers?

Most curable sickness can now be diagnosed and treated by laymen. People find it so difficult to accept this statement because the complexity of medical ritual has hidden from them the simplicity of its basic procedures. It took the example of
the barefoot doctor in China to show how modern practice by simple workers in their spare time could, in three years,
catapult health care in China to levels unparalleled elsewhere. In most other countries health care by laymen is considered a
crime. A seventeen-year-old friend of mine was recently tried for having treated some 130 of her high-school colleagues for
VD. She was acquitted on a technicality by the judge when expert counsel compared her performance with that of the U.S. Health Service. Nowhere in the U.S.A. can her achievement be considered "standard," because she succeeded in making retests on all her patients six weeks after their first treatment. Progress should mean growing competence in self-care rather than growing dependence. 5

Colonel John (Mike) Michaelis, a regimental commander with the legendary Wolfhounds and one of the early heroes of the war, thought the American troops did not know their weapons, or even the basics of infantry life and survival. “They’d spent a lot of time listening to lectures on the differences between communism and Americanism and not enough time crawling on their bellies on maneuvers with live ammunition singing over them. They’d been nursed and coddled, told to drive safely, to buy War Bonds, to give to the Red Cross, to avoid VD, to write home to mother—when someone ought to have been telling them how to clear a machine gun when it jams.

To have the courage to face your fears and pain is to not only bring peace to yourself, but others around you. Destroying metaphysical illusions prevents damage inflicted by delusions and neurosis. One who engages in this will come to see the value of suffering as it serves as new learning and an agent of strengthening.
While those who avoid triggers or suffering because it is too 'difficult' in order to kill the pain, or are too cowardly to look at their imperfections to protect their image, kill themselves and others along with them.

the agonisingly stilted telephone call with George. Chapter 5 Disturbing Siesta Time Marigold deigned to join me for a stroll around the village in lieu of the promised dip. An enormous pair of rather glamorous sunglasses paired with a jaunty wide-brimmed straw sunhat, obscured her face, making it impossible to read her expression though I guessed she was still miffed at being deprived of her swim. As we walked past the church and the village square the leafy branches of the plane trees offered a shaded canopy against the sun. Our steps turned towards one of the narrow lanes that edged upwards through the village, the ancient cobbles worn smooth and slippery from the tread of donkeys and people. The sound of a moped disturbed the peace of the afternoon and we hastily jumped backwards at its approach, pressing our bodies against a wall as the vehicle zapped past us, the pensioned-off rider’s shouted greeting muffled by the noisy exhaust. Carrier bags of shopping dangling from the handlebars made me reflect the moped was the modern day equivalent of the donkey, though less useful; the old man was forced to dismount and cart the bags of shopping on foot when the cobbled lane gave way to steps. Since adapting to village life we had become less reliant on wheels. Back in Manchester we would have thought nothing of driving to the corner shop, but here in Meli we delighted in exploring on foot, never tiring of discovering

V.D. Savarkar disagreed with those Hindus who expected much from the recognition of the common origin of Hindus and Indian Muslims: “Some well-meaning but simple-minded Hindus amuse themselves with the thought … that inasmuch as the majority of Indian Moslems also are in fact allied to us by race and language … they could easily be persuaded to acknowledge this homogeneity and even blood relation with the Hindus and merge themselves into a common National Being if but we only remind them of these affinities and appeal to them in their name. … As if the Moslems do not know it all!! The fact is that the Moslems know of these affinities all but too well: the only difference [is] that while the Hindus love these affinities which bind the Hindu to a Hindu…—the Moslems hate the very mention of them and are trying to eradicate the very memory of it all.

The question is not whether the Holy Scriptures are perspicuous in all their parts so as to need no interpreter nor exposition of doubtful passages (which Bellarmine falsely and slanderously charges upon us, stating the question thus: 'Are the Scriptures of themselves as perfectly plain and intelligible as to need no interpretation?'—VD 3.1, p. 96. For we unhesitatingly confess that the Scriptures have their heights and depths which we cannot enter or sound and which God so ordered on purpose to excite the study of believers and increase their diligence; to humble the pride of man and to remove from them the contempt which might arise from too great plainness. Rather the question concerns only things necessary for salvation, and indeed as to them, only so far as they are necessary to be known and cannot be unknown without criminality. For instance, the mystery of the Trinity is plainly delivered as to the fact which is necessary, but not as to the how, which we are not permitted to know (nor is that essential to salvation). For as in nature so also in the Scriptures, it pleased God to present everywhere and make easy of comprehension all necessary things; but those less necessary are so closely concealed as to require great exertion to extricate them. Thus besides bread and sustenance, she has her luxuries, gems and gold deep under the surface and obtainable only by indefatigable labor; and as heaven is sprinkled with greater and lesser stars, so the Scriptures are not everywhere equally resplendent, but are distinguished by clearer and obscurer places, as by stars of a greater or lesser magnitude.

For as they [the Papists] endeavor studiously to weaken the authority of Scripture in order the more easily to establish their unwritten (agraphous) traditions and the supreme tribunal of the pope himself; so, for the same reason, they are accustomed in many ways to impair its necessity in order to prove it useful indeed to the church, but not necessary (as Bellarmine shows, VD 4.4, pp. 119–22). Yea Cardinal Hosius does not hesitate blasphemously to say, 'Better would it be for the interests of the church had no Scripture ever existed'; and Valentia, 'It would be better had it not been written.

Oh Muslims! Just think what the Europeans reduced you to after they escaped from the clutches of the Bible, to master the sciences that are beneficial for our times. You were pushed out of Spain, you were subjected to massacres, and you were crushed in Austria, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria. Your control over Mughal India was snatched away. They are ruling you in Arabia, Mesopotamia, Iraq and Syria.
Just as our [Hindu] yajnas, prayers, Vedas, holy books, penances, curses could not harm the Europeans, so too will your Quran, martyrdoms, namaz, religious lockets make no difference to them. Just as the maulvis sent armies to war in the belief that the men who fought under the banner of Allah would never lose, so did our pundits peacefully sit back to repeat the name of Rama a million times. But none of this prevented the Europeans. With their advanced weapons, they not only decimated the Muslim armies, but they even toyed with the fallen flag of Allah.

जब तक राष्ट्रीय तथा वांशिक भेद मानव को पशुता तक पहुँचाने के लिए पर्याप्त रूप से प्रबल हैं तब तक अपनी आत्मा के प्रकाश के अनुसार किसी भी प्रकार के आध्यात्मिक अथवा राजकीय जीवन में उन्नति करनी है तो राष्ट्रीय तथा जातीय बंधनों से उत्पन्न शक्ति की अवहेलना करना हिंदुस्थान के लिए उचित नहीं होगा। इसीलिए विश्वबंधुत्व आदि शब्दों का केवल वाणी में ही प्रयोग किए जाने के कारण तथा कृति विहीनता के कारण विद्वानों के मन में घृणा उत्पन्न हुई। बहुत खेदपूर्वक उन्होंने कहा— ये त्वया देव निहिता असुराश्चैव विष्णुना। ते जाता म्लेच्छरूपेण पुनरद्य महीतले॥ व्यापादयन्ति ते विप्रान् घ्रन्ति यज्ञादिकाः क्रियाः। हरन्ति मुनि कन्याश्च पापाः किं किं न कुर्वन्ति॥ म्लेच्छाक्रांते च भूलोके निर्वषट्कारमंगले। यज्ञयागादि विच्छेदाद्देवलोकेऽवसीदति॥ (—गुणाढ्य२७) जिस नितांत रम्य भूमि ने श्रद्धायुक्त अंतःकरण से भिक्षु वस्त्रों को अंगीकृत किया था, खड्ग को त्यागकर हाथों में सुमरिनी लेकर भगवान् का नाम जपते हुए अहिंसा की प्रतिज्ञा की थी, उस भूमि को जलाकर जिन्होंने वीरान बना दिया, उन शक, हूणों की हिंस्र टोलियों को सिंधु के पार खदेड़ दिया गया तथा एक नई सुदृढ़ राजसत्ता स्थापित की गई। उस समय के राष्ट्रीय नेताओं को इस बात का अनुभव हुआ होगा कि यदि धर्म ने भी इस कार्य को सहायता दी तो कितना प्रचंड शक्तिसामर्थ्य निर्माण किया जा सकता है।

उस समय हिंदुस्थान विश्वबंधुत्व तथा अहिंसा के नशे में इतना डूबा हुआ था कि आक्रमणकारियों का प्रतिकार करने की इसकी शक्ति ही नष्ट हो चुकी थी। इसी हिंदुस्थान में अन्याय के प्रति लोगों के मन में कटु द्वेष प्रज्वलित करने का तथा शाश्वत प्रतिकार-शक्ति का वरदान प्राप्त करा देने के लिए दोनों के लिए पूज्य, पूजा-प्रार्थना तथा मठ-संस्थाओं को नष्ट करना आवश्यक था।

ऐसे विश्वधर्म का क्या उपयोग, जिसने हिंदुसथान को असुरक्षित और असजग अवस्था में तो छोड़ा ही, साथ-साथ अन्य राष्ट्रों की क्रूरता और पशुता भी कम न करा सका। संरक्षण का एकमात्र मार्ग अब नजर आता है, तो वह है—राष्ट्रीयता की भावना से उत्पन्न, बलशाली एवं पराक्रमी पुरुषों की समर्थ शक्ति। अवास्तव तत्त्वज्ञान के जंजाल में फँसकर हिंदुस्थान ने अपना रक्त तो बहाया, परंतु उसका परिणाम विपरीत हुआ।

स्पेन के कैथोलिक इंग्लैंड के सिंहासन पर कैथोलिक पंथ के राजा को आसीन करने का प्रयास कर रहे थे। उन्हें सहानुभूति दरशानेवाला एक प्रमुख गुट इंग्लैंड में प्रत्यक्ष रूप से विद्यमान था। उसी प्रकार बौद्ध धर्म के अनुकूल विचार रखनेवाले कुछ आक्रमणकारियों को भी हिंदुस्थान में चल रहे युद्ध के समय गुप्त रूप से सहानुभूति दिखानेवाले अनेक बौद्धधर्मीय लोग यहाँ भी विद्यमान थे। इसके अतिरिक्त बाहर के बौद्धधर्मीय राष्ट्रों ने निश्चित राष्ट्रीय तथा धार्मिक उद्देश्य से हिंदुस्थान पर आक्रमण किए थे। इन घटनाओं के स्पष्ट प्रमाण हम लोगों के प्राचीन ग्रंथों में विभिन्न स्थानों पर मिलते हैं।

इस आर्य देश तथा राष्ट्र पर हूणों के राजा न्यूनपति तथा उसके बौद्धपंथीय सहायकों ने एक साथ मिलकर जो आक्रमण किया तथा जिसका लाक्षणिक और यथार्थ, परंतु संक्षिप्त वर्णन हम लोगों के प्राचीन ग्रंथों में मिलता है, उसका निर्देश हम यहाँ करनेवाले हैं। इस प्राचीन ग्रंथ में कुछ पौराणिक प्रकार से ‘हहा नदी के तट पर प्रचंड युद्ध किस प्रकार किया गया, बौद्धों की सेनाओं का शिविर चीन देश में किस कारण स्थापित हुआ’ (चीन देशमुपागम्य युद्धभूमीमकारयत्) विभिन्न बौद्ध राष्ट्रों की सहायक सेनाएँ उन्हें किस प्रकार आकर मिलीं तथा इस कारण उनके सैन्य की संख्या में कितनी वृद्धि हुई (श्याम देशोद्भलक्षास्तथा लक्षाश्च जापकाः। दश लक्ष्याश्चीनदेश्या युद्धाय समुपस्थितः॥) तथा अंत में बौद्धों को किस प्रकार पराभूत होना पड़ा और इस पराजय के फलस्वरूप उन्हें कितना जबरदस्त दंड मिला—आदि का वर्णन किया गया है। अंततः बौद्धों को प्रकट रूप से अपनी राष्ट्रीय ध्येयाकांक्षाओं को स्वीकार करना पड़ा तथा उन्हें त्यागना पड़ा। भविष्य में किसी प्रकार के राजकीय उद्देश्य से हिंदुस्थान में प्रवेश न करने की स्पष्ट तथा बंधनकारक शपथ उन्हें लेनी पड़ी। हिंदुस्थान सभी के साथ सहिष्णुतापूर्वक आचरण करता था। अतः बौद्धों को व्यक्तिगत रूप से किसी तरह का भय होने का कोई कारण नहीं था। हिंदुस्थान की स्वतंत्रता तथा राजनीतिक जीवन के लिए संकट उत्पन्न करनेवाली सभी आकांक्षाओं का त्याग करना उनके लिए आवश्यक था। ‘सर्वैश्च बौद्धवृदैश्च तत्रैव शपथं कृतम्। आर्यदेशं न यास्यामः कदाचिद्राष्ट्रहेतवे॥’ (—भविष्यपुराण, प्रतिसर्ग पर्व)

The Left has made the young gullible and materialist, while the Right has turned them into nihilistic cynics. This paradigm of power and struggle, expressed through endless ego-driven duality games will eventually lose steam. The new methodology must reconcile these two extremes by formulating a way of living that embodies the virtues of a natural, universal being - simplicity, patience, and compassion.

Once upon a time, women were once birds who flew above clouds and danced among branches.
They were songstresses whose voices were able to calm the most violent of storms, and nurture, not tame, the wildest of beasts.
Through time, women grew weary and forgot who they were, both their ability to fly and their songs.
Men of nobility then embarked on a quest for the chalice of eternal Truth and Love, in hopes that women will someday drink from it in order to regain their magic and heal mankind.

It is counter-productive and even detrimental to the world to attempt to question or guide one whose intuition is in-tune with his heart and those around him, for he is able to act according to a force that is greater than him and his processes and decisions are unknowable and confusing to that of lower men. For those who can lower themselves to think that one such as he does not know what he was doing is shameful. Guides whose meddling only serves to create static interference opposed to the clarity of his natural radar are advised to communicate with those whose influencers come mainly from lack of experience, the mind, and externals. The great work of true guides, the Naked Ones, there lie in the ability to confront those who are most difficult to confront and who live on illusions. Otherwise, it is just a tangled ball of string trying to lead a string that has long ago already untangled itself.

Superior men spend their time off contemplating the meaning of life. They are in a perpetual quest for truth and understanding in themselves and those around them. When faced with the abyss, they reaffirm life by doing the duty of the profound, finding value and meaning in virtue. Lower men on the other hand, concern themselves with comfort and gaining approval from others. This is usually achieved by wallowing in secrecy and illusion, thus lower men lower those around them. Therefore it is superior men and the traits they possess which drive any real progress or change.
