Sketch biography & international relations

*=neurostar, this author

Born: Kootenai country, Spirit Lake 1949, May 10, ~2 a.m.*
        Two story converted house to a local "hospital". urine from elders upstairs cascaded on window panes below, dogs freely ran on ground floor. Doctor had to travel to the site. C-section delivery. Temperatures locally near or at 100 degrees, 112 degrees not unusual. Colic and yellow skin evinced in early days.
         Landscape is pleasant rolling hills.

Parents, man (nocturnal) and woman (diurnal), resided at Farragut, Idaho. Both from Wisconsin State. On their drive out west they had visited the Grand Canyon, amazing in my own life I did not make it to the Grand Canyon but saw a lot of it on TV.

Lineage, appx. father, eldest of royal line, of east europe or farther east ; mother, from knights, Irish, O'Grady "wild geese", family in Slovenia. 

[In early weeks of my life, subject to assassination with possible CT head injury. First of several attempts]

After about two months after birth, family moved west. Wound up in Washington State, near Puget Sound Naval Ship Yard, Bremerton. I would wander around the neighborhood at age 5. Drove mother crazy, but I like to see where I am and like walking.

Ambidextrous, changed from left handed. Blue eyes turned brown. In later life would have brown, green iris color with orange specks and blue outer rim. In young years in summer up to age ten, skin turned perfect indian brown tan*

While living in project housing, I developed ear aches and cough.

A little later my older half brother came to live with us.

Attended two grade schools in east Bremerton. Attended junior high where there was a 6.5 earthquake and the junior high had many split walls,  and East Bremerton High. HS diploma 1969. At times a class was invited for a trip to a dairy farm tour.

About age 8 my family at times would go out and we would eat chinese food, a couple years later a couple taco places opened up nearby. I got an early exposure to different cusines.

In summer, would go to Lake Washington to join crowds watching unlimited hydroplane racing.

At East High School  became involved with student government, student state electoral convention and model united nations.

Took a science class visit to Seattle to see a underground particle cyclotron.

Had two unusual experiences while a junior in high school. One was as dusk was coming, I looked out my home's front window and watched a large, fiery object slowly cross the sky. As it neared the mountains to the east it zigzagged and then disappeared over that horizon. My parents were out driving at that time and I asked if they saw it. They said no. I checked the newspapers for up to two weeks after to see if it made the news. I never found an article on it.The second incident is a bit more complex. It involves having dusk all throughout one day.  The very next day proceeded as normal.*

The area was subject to a 6.5 earthquake mid morning. In science class I watched out the window as cars drove by and drivers were looking at the ground. The room started showing big cracks over the only door. The teacher finally ushered us out.

My family doctor, a diagnostician, would die of a heart attack at my age of 15.

A cousin on my dad's side lived in Seattle and worked as an airline stewardess and on some days off she would come and visit the family. Later she resettled in northwest Montana. We would visit there once in my early teens and another in my late teens and wee their family her husband was a physician.

Can one guess what year I first rode in a Smart Car?

At times our family would go back by car to Sheboygan, Wisconsin to visit with families. We would often stay at mother's sister's two story house. In early years it was a daunting chore. One had to drive and find local roads. (It was later that the interstate highways made east and west driving faster.) You had to map it out and find the exact roads which often did not have road or direction signs. The roads twisted around and one had to frequently be sure to get to the needed intersection to change the direction of traversing. Mostly, you had to drive during the day, there were few lights and most towns closed down by 7 p.m., so if you needed gasoline or a place to stay after 7 p.m. you were on your own, most likely out of luck (sleep in the vehicle).

One time we visited a great aunt in Chicago. Dad had great memory to find the house since he had not been there for 25 years. A couple of times visited another great aunt in northwest Montana. Big house on a lake, fished often. That branch of the family managed a local cemetery.  A lot of motorcyclists there including gals. Husband of aunt used to be driver of Chicago gang that was decimated on St. Valentine's Day. He was off duty then but had to identify the bodies. When he drove us in Montana I noticed his eyes never ever left the road.

My dad one time said he understood his grandfather may have had two wives in Wisconsin. He remembered one sat on the floor reading newspapers. May have been a Native American of that area. Family did not speak of that one. He said the same grandfather had a hotel in Seattle in earlier years and he wanted to go the Alaska for gold. The wife, my great grandmother who could speak 7 languages and had to take care of 9 children, said if you go then she would divorce. That stopped that. His grandfather in Wisconsin was a sheriff with no gun. He had ham hands and was big for that time. He also was a volunteer fireman and died fighting a neighbor's fire. Most men in our direct line did not live past age of 60 until my dad.

My grandfather on father's side died in Sheboygan when I was 8, at the age of 59 or 61. We drove back and attended services. Going back home we visited Custer' Last Stand. 

Decided I like hiking, camping, walking and foot trails. Over time, probably have totaled enough mileage to cross the country at least once. Total time I used a vehicle in my lifetime to date is 5 years. Otherwise walked or bussed and walked.

Later while still 8 years old had tonsilectomy . OR recovery was awful, had worst bizarre experiences of distortive imagery and sounds while still under anesthesia, also constipated for one day. Did someone try to put a pillow over my face? [Another assassination attempt] Two nurses from adjoining room came in yelling. Threw up blood for two weeks after. Quite some time later my parents were talking about my early health and my dad claimed he left work early one time when I was in the hospital to see me. My mother went silent.

 Soon became deluged with unpredictable nosebleeds, kneecap problems for decades.

My mother used a dowry to have us move to a 3 bedroom ranch house. Former apartment rental was developing mold.

My half brother moved out. Served in the National Guard. He often voiced frustration with me saying he "would kill me". He kept the family surname even though not of the bloodline and no known court record of change but passed the surname along to his children who continue to use it and pass it on to their children  and grand children.

 Later, when in new house, black figures would melt through my bedroom window or wall and attack, first two then a week later about 3 or more. I woke up in bed and had to fight them off. Usually wildly swinging arms.*

 My parents voiced interests in physics {Einstein was still alive then!}. I took interest in that and astronomy and east India philosophy. Parents could not answer my questions. Parents obtained small books on the various religions in the world that were in simple language. I determined that India had detailed and balanced approach. Read what I could all the time from libraries, walked miles to libraries to get the books, no matter what ugly weather, kept it up forever. I want my information!! Would read when done with homework and during most spare time. Paid attention to any tv specials on those subjects and on astronomy,  health, after life and some paranormal. Obtained a book, "Spiritism" by de Laurence, among many authors. Interest in named subjects never once waned or abated.* Read Elizabeth Kubler Ross on consciousness she explored, and similar topics.

Family attended local county fairs and at times we met with Native Americans of local region. Later years I would at times attend pow wows and other events even in other states. My dad and I are camels. Doctors don't understand it. We both can go in dry climates for long hours without drinking water. My dad said his army friends would complain of thirst. So he shared his canteen with no bother. I also like it dry and drink water seldom. I think I have small reactions to hydrogen under some circumstances. The wonderful, educated medical field doesn't understand it. I feel comfortable a little dehydrated, my body temperature stays below 98 degrees.

[May have tested for lost tibetan lama and passed the tests on article recognition but later acceptance was declined, according to recall.]*

Dad transferred work to Keyport Naval torpedo station, 29 miles each direction. He worked essentially in civil service until retirement. I used to visit with their friend my age in Silverdale. Couple incidents at visiting neighbors had one shoot three bullets, another time, another another time shouted, "I missed, I never miss!!"

Dad took me fishing in lakes. Drove in countryside. When had a chance, enjoyed viewing a community comprised of house boats on the Hood Canal. As a family we climbed to the top of snowcapped Mt. St. Helens. At about age 15, he and I and friend crossed Olympic Mtns. range west to east in n.w. Washington in 5 days.

As a family, we visited friends who lived at Chico, Burlington, Bellingham, visited some gramges north of Seattle, La Push, Port Angeles, Sequim, Washington. Stayed at a Windjammer at Pacific Ocean, ca. 1966. Occasionally went to Mt. Rainier for the ice caves. Toured Dry Falls in eastern Washington State. Camped out at various parks at times and when weather permitted.

One time was camping at the State's largest park, in vicinity of Olympia, the State capital. I wandered into the woods and by happenstance following some intuition, I came across a group of native american women. Was surprised to see them. After a couple minutes of conversation about what they do and how they live, they assayed my life after about five minutes of just looking at me.*

Attended World Fair of Seattle 1962.  A lot of fun. Space Needle was just completed with a monorail going downtown. I saw for first time a Smart car. Really small! First time also to visit Pike's Place Market, an open farmer's market. Cool place! Multiple levels of food shops. In a later year, it was where I first had japanese food.

Half brother moved out and soon after married a local.

Graduated High School in 1969. My parents attended the ceremony. Mostly I found curriculum classes oppressive as not enough time was given to more thoroughly explore subjects. I felt muddled in schools. That changed when I was finished with High School. My mind became more focused and I could research subjects at length. My thoughts flowed with less interruption.

Great grandmother died at age of 91 east of Spokane. She lived with another great aunt who ran cafes in small towns. Sad not to be able to visit her anymore. Much later while I was in Spokane, I would attend the great aunt until she passed.

Parents paid for me to have two tennis lessons. Claimed they could not afford more lessons.

Volunteered with state elections campaigns. Volunteered on successful campaign for state attorney. Later worked on behalf of legislators in various ways including sleuthing.

[President Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 1963, Martin Luther King jr. and Robert Kennedy were killed in 1968]

One time I entered a contest on a certain knowledge. A couple week later I got a phone call saying that I had won. It would have a free tour at mid week at mid day. Then they asked who would go with me. I could not think of anyone I knew who could accompany me on the tour at mid week. They would be at work. I was informed that if I don't have a companion even though I was the one that answered the questions then my tour prized would be nullified.

Found a book that listed meditations and practiced in private from time to time. Soon realized that would need undisturbed blocks of time to gain effect.I noted in the book among other recommendations for complementary diet that they suggest tea. It is light, antioxidant and plentiful. Parent's could not comprehend, although mother earlier tried yoga. They also preferred coffee to tea.

Went to a Boeing Psychic fair. One woman who read my palm went crazy. Claimed I have a new life lease. Amazing. She apologized for her display.*

Asian diets became attractive. Started using chopsticks, mostly at chinese restaurants and much later at other asian settings. Also sampled bagged hot tea. Would make a  daily routine with bagged tea and try many brands. I drink tea in bags three times a day to this date. Many people agree with tea drinking, is not an anomaly as one would get the impression.

Although I took driver's education in High School, I did not use a car until I was almost 18. When I turned 21, my dad offered to take me out for some drinks. I thought this was trite and so turned down the offer. I believe in making my own informed decisions. He instead took a friend of mine out drinking. Soon after I decided I will not marry in this life. I would try to thoughtfully experience and assess the world. I would have broad interests and inquiries but also be resolute with my findings.

Soon I decided to myself that rather than live the common, mundane life, I would choose to experience much of the world. I would keep an open mind to whatever transpired with me or on the planet. I wanted better understanding than standardized explanations. It would result in quite a variety of experiences. I would try consciousness expansion techniques, e.g. meditation etc. As for drugs, I wanted a clear mind and by chance a book "Artificial Paradise" by Charles Baudelaire gave me excellent reason toward that end. Has kept me away from having interest in drugs through the 1960's and to date. (Strongly recommended reading). At times before the age of 12, I could see auras. What I could see of my parents, repeatedly my father had brown, my mother was bright multicolored.

In late teens I came to a conclusion on the nature of the universe. I told my parents, friends, fellow students, science teachers and others. None would support it. Over a decade later still looking for even verbal support from the science field, the best I got from only one is that I should wait. Conclusive evidence from the science world on what I prefaced back in the 1960's came in late 1998, and still people deliberate and quibble.*

Undaunted, I resolved by the age of 16 to launch an explorer of my own to report back on the universe for as much as I could get. It was programmed to not approach stars, as it could be affected by the heat, and not approach planets, as it might risk crashing. It was to weave between them all. This should be an easy launch because it was a substanceless probe. Mind driven, not with all the contraptions of weighty metal and tons of fuel. The mind does not need that to travel. Nevertheless, it was not an easy launch. Several times launched and it came back in a day or two not escaping Earth's orbit. Puzzled, I then reread how the satellites were launched into orbit and eventually successfully. It was not straight up from the ground. To get away from Earth, they circled the planet and rose in levels until the craft won free from the gravitational pull of Earth. So I tried it likewise. When I was near age 17, I then launched directed in an upward spiral my mind probe. It worked! I could tell within 3 days the probe was giving me images of the rare upper atmosphere and then proceeded to the out orbits. Images came back of part of the inner planets, it was not the intention to visit every planet, just those along the course showed. Much later I saw images of stars being passed. Then I in my mind turned the imagery to look back toward Earth. It was extremely recessed in the field of lookback stars. From time to time I would get further imagery and the probe exceeded the boundary of our galaxy. The last image i received was the the approach to the Virgo cluster. That would be quite a distance and probably a lot of darkness due to scarcity of stars at that range. Who knows how long it will take before it reaches the environs of the Virgo cluster, and if it survives to send back any image.

While still living with parents, I voiced I wanted more support for my curriculum and better environment to study by. After two years, I suggested we do family consultation but my dad opted out. Soon after I requested if I could be placed with a more encouraging family. My mother contacted a local judge but he told her I should remain since I already have parents. I still wonder if my acumen would have improved if I relocated. (After I left high school and later the area, my grades in some curriculum greatly improved and I got A's and B's at other locations.) One time with mother we attended meditation seminar with a member of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Transcendental Meditation as an after school event at the junior college in 1971. Did not continue with that group. Continued to practice on my own and get reading material on the subject. Some I adapted others I chose not to use.

Later, we got a fellow worker of my dad's to try yoga. He was with Seventh Day Adventist. Soon after he started reporting that against a wall he could feel himself get very tiny or very tall.

Worked at Cordova, Alaska salmon cannery. Met Japanese and was invited to consume sushi and sake in early 1970's.  A first for me! Also consumed bottles of red wine there. The ground moss was amazing. Four inches deep, made the perfect mattress to lay on. Felt nothing below it. First experience with the sun that does not set.

 Worked with Bremerton  Memorial Hospital and Northwest Hospital in Seattle in early 1970's. Work related to lab and x-ray and radium. (had a cerebral cortex injury in March 1974?) Parents legally separated. Mother stayed a the house a few years. Father traveled the northwest states a little. He eventually settled in Arizona.

Sparely wrote poetry 1970-1997, later years won awards 2006 and later, publication individually and in collection. Examples, "Come In a Dream", "Banshee of the Mind",
"Phantasmagoria Vivify", "In Aeternum" and few others

Continued model united nations involvement in junior college and all the way through post secondary education. Very inspiring to self. Was school Permanent Representative 4x at Eastern Washington Univ..traveled to conventions in Seattle, San Diego, Corvallis, Oregon, Vancouver B.C. and more and served on committees.

Campaigned successfully for a student to gain a seat on student body government.

Traveled by Greyhound at times to Bremerton and back to college more often in winter breaks with inches of ice on the road. Pick up was at 3:30 a.m. and often was only one to get on the bus at the college town. At times has to phone ahead to make sure the bus would make the late night stop. First quarter at EWU dormitory part second spent all three meals in dorm room consuming tea and reading. I like getting information by media that I cannot attend in person. At times, people come in my room to find me lying on the floor and up to five books spread out in front of me. And I am reading them at the same time. They get amazed I do that. It has become a style of mine and helps me accrue information at one spot.

Attended EWU classes on composition literature, existentialism, death and dying, humanities, sociology, psychology 400 level, social psychology 400 level, speed reading, anthropology, eastern philosophy 400 level, classes on constitutional law, and advanced issues in law 400 level, Wrote two resolutions adopted in United Nations in General Assembly and OAU mid 1970's. Did research in the Special Collections library with Mrs. Wong She shared how much learning she had when she educated in China. Had to memorize all the kingdoms. Obtained Bachelor of Arts degree 1978. Was first in family to graduate college. I did not attend the ceremony as no one came to see my graduation.

Voluntarily assisted with a BSU department dispute and also went on TV news. Eventually resulted in federal mediation and then took a federal class on discriminations; (people started confiding in me from all walks of life). Volunteered at Women's Center, consulting. Was called "professor" by many students.

Attended World Fair at Spokane, Washington.

Aided in 1977 Landmark decision of 1981 Washington State Supreme Ct. with defense committee of native american female for charge to overturn and establish woman's right to self defense. Assisted safe transport of charge.

Noted at times my left eye developed a vision of gun crosshairs for short periods of time like when I walked around. It seemed to have stopped by age 46. Also had odd visions that developed suddenly and completely obscured my vision with no warning and the image of ":16" on a monocolor would show up for half a second and it was all I could see. Seems to have had no repeats after age of 53 but were puzzling. At times can cause close by car engines to fail just by closing fist. But is much more difficult with recent engines. Also at times can change traffic lights.*

Was again living in western Washington state at Seattle and attended eldest half niece's first wedding. Went often to Pike' Place Market, Ballard Locks, Snoqualmie Falls and town of Snoqualmie, Issaquah and Tacoma and Sea Tac airport.

Mother informed me she traveled through many states and at later time went to Europe to search for family. Had sold the house.

Look! Look! Observation. At times, one can see animals meet and strike a pose. They make no overt noise but it is obvious they are communicating with each other. They also make subvocal sounds as do sea creatures. Plants do communicate with themselves and can send elemental messages miles away. People really are underestimating the abilities of nature. To some limited degree creatures can project energy and even predict. Even plants make decisions where to grow or not or abandon a location.

Oh look! The sky is not just a big field, there are patterns that interact and weather cells that influence what transpires in the troposphere.

Read amazing literature, among those revisited were Charles Baudelaire, Thomas de Quincey, Jean Paul Sartre, other surrealists and existentialists.

"Do they talk, then? O no! Mighty phantoms like these disdain the infirmities of language." from "Confessions", Thomas de Quincey.

Was encouraged to attend special literary conventions. Some were quite evolved involving authors, artists, film directors, media and more. Missed a chance to have a lifetime membership with one in Seattle. Met with interesting backgrounds.

Co-founder, Vice President and wrote Articles of Incorporation of a literary association of Spokane which also featured, hosted and planned public conventions in early 1980's. Included guests of world authors, film directors, artists, media, editors. I did guest interviews. Became representative delegate to other similar conventions and traveled to other host cities like Vancouver  B.C., Seattle, Wa. and local ones, Phoenix, Az..  Attendances from 300 to 3,000 plus, events may range from two days to a full week or more. Later became a columnist of one of the organization bulletins and opened communication with some authors, e.g. Louise Cooper of Britain.

Returned to live in Seattle, mostly around Green Lake by house sharing. One self styled satanist moved in at one of the places near university district and one morning near 4 a.m. had an intrusive experience in his bedroom. I saw a clear green light in the room from the alley window and he was screaming. He moved out in 12 hours. Didn't even stay a full month. Blamed the experience on me.

Earlier, in same, above residence,  had two experiences with a visitor and one of the residents. One housemate was encouraged to reside with us by another resident. The two talked together a lot. One day they were talking about their futures. I spoke to one {Spann]and told them to be careful what kind of guy they link up that some may be attractive but poor father. Toward the end of my stay in Seattle, that person found me was then living in Portland, Or. and said I was right. She looked at least 8 months along and she said she would raise the child by herself if she must.

The other incident involved a friend of the above who at times visited the residence in Seattle. So one night we all pulled an all nighter. She was talking about some boyfriend who aspired to be a musician. She expressed she had problems with him. At four in the morning we were listening to record song on Joan 'd Arc who submitted herself to the flames, and she told me to turn up the volume. Months after, she moved into a two story apt. building on the 2nd floor. One night while sleeping, a fire started in the kitchen, her boyfriend said and she later told me, and when she finally woke up there was no way to get to the door for exit. She ran around in the apt. for several minutes but found she could not escape the flames. As last resort, she threw herself out the 2nd story window next to her bedroom. She escaped, burned and cut up. Spent long months in plastic surgery and recovery.

 Later I learned Seattle is known for having many ley lines. Things always happen to me and others. Gals in Seattle  kept stealing my copies of "Lord of No TIme", by Louise Cooper, a fictional work paperback.

While renting a bungalow, tested out for a little over a year consciously changing or fashioning my dreams, made multiple endings etc. Afterward had a series of dreams every night for two weeks that I could not deter as soon as I was asleep each night which depicted other landscapes and perhaps other strong histories in other times yet earth-planet like. There was a vast territory in space that was ours but it was contested by an invading species and the stations that were strongholds were being vigorously defended but eroded by attacks. It also involved falling back and regrouping. Toward a last one, I recall a line of defense being overcome and beings slowly infiltrating the environment we live. Felt very much on alert. Resumed "normal" dreaming on the 15th night but felt there were some residual dreams at times for a short time afterward, scanning the wide open view of galaxies and impressing them on my brain background.*

A little time after, other people at times witnessed strange exterior activity from my hands and more 2nd sight events that were like glimpses. Such mind activities usually were actualized sometime in the future by weeks, more by months and years. Some I wrote down.*

Had a really strange history with a cursed car. Learned that the dealer committed suicide after it was sold. The car continued to either get in accidents but was repaired each time or other subsequent owners committed suicide in it. Finally when a young couple committed suicide in it, the car was sent in to be scrapped.

One time in Seattle, I talked someone to let see where NO MEN are admitted. They called it 'green goddess' what in fact I identified as a Green Tara statue.

Attended class on Advanced India Philosophy at University of Washington with Dr. Karl Potter, a Padma Shri recipient. Spent a lot of time at the special Savery library for same subject matter. Attended some special feature public events of Vedanta Society in Seattle.

Became Secretary of Board to the unique, private organization As You Like It Library of Seattle. One invite guest was an interested Vedantist An engineer but had wonderful discussion on India beliefs with him over several months.

Had first meal ever at Ethiopian Restaurant in university district. Fascinating food! Have looked for an Ethiopian restaurant in any metropolitan place I lived. Quite a few did not have one. Really enjoyed them when visiting in Los Angeles in the 2000's.

Also started trying middle east eateries, Japanese and sashimi dishes, Korean and kim chi, Indonesian and other southeast Asian dishes and a lot of Thai.

Self initiated speaking circuit around Puget Sound in private organizations and public mid 1980's. Was embraced by India persons. Spoke several times at Seattle University Jesuit College. Conducted a public debate on "Ethical Relativism".

May 1980, traveling from Spokane, Wa. to Seattle was stranded with Greyhound Bus for 3 days in a small town and we rested in a fire station in mid state by volcanic ash fall deluge of Mt. St. Helens, which did three major eruptions not just one. There was sunset colors in the east due to the advancing cloud. Became a real twilight zone. Later composed an online story of that event.

Became Chair of Little City Hall, southeast Seattle, liaisoned with congressional office on zoning and planned growth, Interagency, government program for improving neighborhoods and worked with VISTA. Recipient of Certificate of Appreciation by the U.S. President. Am columnist to two local newspapers. Was introduced to Mayor Charles Royer. Later I was called "little mayor" in many places I have since resided.

One of the clinic directors of Neighborhood Health Centers of Seattle, owned some land on a San Juan Island. At times he would invite us spend time there at his indian tepee and cabin. Warmed ourselves with fire and smoke. When bathing, used a warmed water tub to pour over oneself for hot water. Slept in sleeping bags. Was a fun experience!

Joined advisory council of Federal Region X Patient Advocate Council of Public Health Hospital. Became member of health subcommittee of King County mid 1980's. Employed at Quest Bookshop, had fun ordering overseas books, also worked at Seattle Kingdome sports stadium. Received a "Certificate of Appreciation" of the US President.

Had a great time talking to some ambassadors and kept contact with a couple.
Attended studies in Buddhism at colleges in Los Angeles, and Rosemead, Ca. Authored a manuscript on India sage Nagarjuna. Paper was applauded by former ambassador to France representing Sri Lanka, Dr. Guruge who also co founded the college at Rosemead. He contributed to "Closer to Truth" media programs. I had additional practice doing eulogies. Many of my book collection were used for display at the Rosemead college. I would purchase a Tara statue. I visited several times Hsi Lai monastery, a chinese buddhist center with public viewing outside of Los Angeles.

Enjoyed meetings with some ambassadors, Park of South Korea, Ananda Guruge ambassador to France from Sri Lanka (ret)

There were some earthquakes at times most around 5.5. On one day at 5 a.m. there was a 7.7 with many aftershocks followed 6 hours later by a 6.6 quake.

At least twice while going to Escondido, California, I saw while driving near cliff, repeated lightening strikes of pink aimed at the top of the cliff.

After reading published news on de-extinction in 1990's, came to conclusion the endeavors were innovative and significant in science developments.

Had to assist with a young woman who was possessed with a oujia board which mentally insisted she much commit suicide. Tibetan monks near Los Angeles eventually freed her of the geas.

Delegate to 1993 World Parliament of Religions Centennial at Chicago, while residing second time at monastery at Burbank, Illn. Good presentations, committee work and so many colorful attire of delegates under one building, Palmer Hall.  Met with the 14th Dalai Lama a couple of times. Centennial resulted in more invitations to speak at U. of Wisconsin Whitewater, Cleveland College in east Cleveland, Ohio, Virginia Tech, Washington D.C. [where I might of solved the location of the missing congressional aide], Los Angeles schools. Eventually more in Denmark, Sweden and Norway and residing at monasteries. One talk while residing at Tempe, Az.

In Sweden, one day I able to stand at the end of a rainbow, surrounded by colors of the rainbow. But there was not pot of gold. Another day surprised me in the woods on a cloudy day, right above the tree tops a sudden really loud snap of thunder and lightening then less than 5 seconds later it sounded again some 15 miles away. Was impressed first hand that lightening travels so fast. At times had battles with lightening storms. The bolts would bend back upwards at some point.

It was very interesting to be near the 60th longitude in Norway. I noticed the difference in the pace of time there. Although never rushed, each time I finished a chore it was time to engage with the next one just as I finished with the previous one but never felt rushed. A confirmation of Einstein's perception of the different paces of time due to material mass.  Enjoyed the lights in the night sky there and the proximity to great weather cycle of the world El Nino.

And at that time the Olympic Winter games scheduled there were at risk because it would not snow at the site they were to be played until the last two days before the events would start. They were very nervous.

Have met with  the 14th Dalai Lama at Los Angeles and also met with his teachers and fellow monks at a monastery near Los Angeles. Had several other occasions to meet with His Holiness Dalai Lama XIV.

Outside of Phoenix, a Thai Buddhist monastery was invaded and occupants slaughtered ~ 2 a.m. by locals in 1991. Made national news. Occurred in my first year of living in a Buddhist monastery outside Los Angeles.

Having "overlapping" memories at almost any time. Some were vivid, some were a scenario where I was communicating with people at times. Started writing blogs.

While in West Virginia monastery, had unplanned meeting with "Prince" Mohammed Atta and an interpreter in a Washington D. C. museum (or was that a vivid dream?)  Sadly I did not prevail in the dialogue, a huge cold effused and surrounded me. Returned to West Virginia same day. Months after, 9/11 occurred.

Had a Korean buddhist monk stay nearly half a year at the Bhavana Society.
I am credited with at least two 'miracles'.
At same monastery, near end of December, had vivid dream that would not leave about a captive Tibetan Buddhist monk that would escape from China. About a month later, this event actually occurred and the young Tibetan lineage monk escaped to India. I have written a story on that and obtained actual news articles. Another young lineage Tibetan was never heard from in China from the same time. I tried to sense him from West Virginia monastery but could not, but I did detect the former young  lineage monk. A few say it was equivalent to a miracle to sense this.*

Perhaps being at a higher altitude, I have better receptivity. While at West Virginia, a probe image came back of approaching the Virgo Cluster. I had started the probe when I was 17 years old. It involves no weight, metal-metal free. At first, it seemed it would fail. No progress. Then recalling that with gravity one needs to circle out to escape it, I did that in my mind and months later succeeded. Once free, I had images of our Solar System, asteroids and beyond the Solar plane. Saw other systems and a lot of blackness inbetween and continued to progress out by passing some systems and close viewing a few others which was best during sleep or day dream.*

Met with a small Iranian family seeking asylum. They practice Buddhism there. They say you will never hear about the Buddhist minority there. They are totally occluded and do not dare let anyone know what they practice in the Islam dominated state. If anyone else learned of it there, they probably would face execution.

Was in Europe a couple times. One trip to Denmark and stayed 10 months at the same time the Winter Olympics almost didn't happen in Norway as the snow that was needed fell on Denmark and skipped Lille Hammer. Saw a famous world frigate moored that had much to do with studying the world environment. Saw the amazing village Christiana of Kobenhavn, Roskilde Church which house Kings and Queens of the 12th-15th century in the freezing cold basement. The Northridge earthquake occurred near Los Angeles then, I learned afterward. Also did a visit to Stockholm, Sweden. A little later had short stays in Hamburg, Germany and Munchen with a tour added to Regansburg monastery now a winery.

On one flight, the airline drove through very stormy skies. I was seated close to one wing. Looking out several times, I saw the wing vibrating and almost twisting. Was surprised it did not work loose. Upon landing, several people deboarding told me they were sure the reason the wing did not come off was because I was sitting near it and monitoring it. They also told the crew, who only smiled as I exited.

Second time (1998) was hosted by a family in western Sweden out side of Gotenburg. Had heavy snow second day after I arrive April 1st. Children of host asked why I could take the bus to the local town and they could not yet in their teens. He told them I understood how to get around. Later I would transfer to near Ski, Norway and at times take 10-20 kilometer walks. Met with Buddhist monks of different sects. Probably was one of the northern most meeting of Buddhist monks near 60 degrees latitude north. I stayed until my passport nearly ran out of time.

Was amazed when returning from Norway Oct. 31st to Dulles Airport and transported to West Virginia for that date the weather was a balmy 65 degrees for that part of the country. I liked walking around the east panhandle. Among other things, I saw a pond with trained swans. Visited a nearby natural spring and spa. A native american drove me around local area one day and gave me a map of the state. Visited Washington D.C. several times. Was invited to give a new year's talk.

Was amazed three years later when moving by Greyhound bus West Virginia to South Carolina at the end of January that again the weather was unexpectedly warm at 55 degrees. The bus also drove by a most interesting site where there was a waterfalls which displayed an amazing series of green and blue like it was deliberately formed. Arrived near Greenville, S.C. which had only one public bus per line circulating. Allowed opportunities to take long walks. Started online compositions and essays. Was practically a daily visitor to the city library.

Also assisted with services at a Spartanburg Vietnamese monastery; and would later be a guest speaker at a community college there.

 Tea, tea, tea! I had more tea in the kitchen than other foods. A Vietnamese monk remarked on how much tea I can drink in a sitting compared to most asians.

Moved to Albuquerque about 2004. Enjoyed walking the local area and using busses Thought the space and natural history museum were great. Visited them, the zoo and aquarium and natural reserves and others there frequently. Joined a meditation group that met at a Thai monastery. Visited other Buddhist monasteries there including a Vietnamese and Tibetan. Also visited ashrams. Attended the State Fair in the city and also the pow wows. The Native Americans were trying to do rain dances to no avail for months on end. At the State Fair they invited tribal representatives of the pacific northwest to dance. Inside a week there was rain.

While staying in apt. at one time  german parents brought a daughter to the apt. across from mine. She argued with her parents. She was young, around 18. She engaged in quite a few parties and was out often. One night I heard bawling. I walked to my door. Instantly 5 blood spots appeared at different points of the front of my body. I stopped, astonished. After five minutes, I walked to the door and opened it a crack. She was sitting at the front of her closed door and bawling about a fight with her friend. Obviously a german witch of sorts. Must have a strong charisma, especially to produce an effect through closed door and wall . This is the first time I put the incident in print. Now why did some loose paper blow around when I typed this?

I must have been there during a warm spell. I did not need even a jacket. Until my last year there, they had the most snowfall in November all the streets were shut down with 10 inches of snow and made a record. In winter they had a really cold drop to 18 degrees and may have made a record. I bought a jacket then. I noted in subsequent years they had more cold spells than when I lived there.

I was working on a canvassing job house to house. I had noticed from the northeast of the city a yellow cloud hangs over part of the valley frequently. One day I was canvassing when unexpectedly I felt my airways turn extremely dry. I almost panicked. I stopped everything to find relief from this sandy or sandpaper sensation inside. I found a small store and rapidly purchased and downed two bottles of orange drink. It felt literally like desiccation inside to me. Got immediate relief but it persisted on a lower intensity for months. Thought of making an inquiry or go to a clinic but I guessed they would have thought it minor and be dismissive.

Received letter from Arizona court that I should attend to my father or he would be placed. I was reluctant at first, but I decided he needed someone to help him and our families are small and so others were unlikely to attend.

Arrived in Tempe, Az.  Feb. 2007 to aid my dad and became Court appointed Legal Guardian until his death at age 95. Then visited my mother in Wisconsin who later moved to daughter of old family friends about 59 miles from Tempe. Visited at times but after ailment she was assigned to recovery rehab location where she passed away at age 95, about 5 years after I arrived in Tempe, Ariz. 2007.

 Became member of city Adult Recreation Center and self initiated jigsaw puzzle activity and have been doing jigsaw ever since when the opportunity is there. Gave only one talk since arrival. Had epigastric hernia repair in 2008. I got more into kimchi, dim sum, India dishes, mustard seeds, turmeric, celery seeds and other spices and ethnic dishes as had in the past.

Helped someone visit many area Independent Residences or CCCR places over 5 years.

2014 was hospitalized for two weeks with delayed diagnosis of fungal Valley Fever, pneumonia, metastasis to brain meningitis, SIRS, followed by shingles. Doctors would not acknowledge Valley Fever and loaded me with antibiotic and opioid. Soon lost all appetite, don't want to eat a thing. What sense of total freedom to not be hungry and not cook, don't even want the kitchen. Lost weight and soon was told to eat anyway. Resumed online composing while recuperating.

Enjoyed attending double wedding near Malibu, California. Young couples taking the vow were dynamic. Second one works in Alaska as Hot Shot and is building a house near Fairbanks. Wife attends there also and both are building a second home there.

Amazingly, saw the exact reincarnation of my pet dog from my teens! And was just three blocks away from where I stay. And I believe he also recognized me! Proof, to some degree of reincarnation.

Elected as Vice President to Advisory Board of Adult Recreation Center in Dec. 2016, a one year term. Other Vice President recently deceased. Was reelected more than twice.

Joined a discussion group based on "Socrates Café".

At end of one two hour dream (many of my dreams cover hours) I was searching for an object amidst a crowd of outdoor people and came up with one mistakenly. I could tell because there was a small name tag glued that distinctly had the name in black ink on white, "Ella Rose".  Never came across such a name before. Another dream in March 2017 showed the name "Nalie", also unknown.*

While at a hospital in east valley of Arizona, the staff attacked, shoved me into a elevator and fractured my sternum, grabbed my cane and writing pen and then threw them in the street. Can't figure why they grabbed those items. The next year my upper sternum displayed a gold color on my skin. An X-ray confirmed I had a fractured sternum is a  fact.

I still feel after many years, nails that were in both of my feet.

So sad that my hostess of 12 years, Elayn, passed away 9/11/20. Now must relocate. Very affected, my mind blanked out many times. Finally relocated at Albuquerque still experiencing blank outs.

In June 2021, started experiencing notable shortness of breath fairly easily. Thought it belonged to some physical cause. In July, noted drops in cardiac rhythm which occurred  more frequently. Talked to the new doctor, was ordered for brain MRIs on brain lesion. Cardiac irregularity increased to any time of day or night for hours.

Sought out cardiology. Instead was diverted to ERs. At least three ERs which ran EKGs and nothing more. On morning of  July 28th, woke up to the pauses in rhythms followed violently by sharp clipping sounds, sometimes 17 in a row and alternating. Now known assumably as SVE or PVC. Went to another ER and spent the night with tests and blood test. They said they could detect nothing unusual. Next morning sharp pulses had retuned. Assistants there said they would keep their fingers crossed for me. Presently those occur mostly during the night at times with enough impact that I cannot sleep and my left pectrol skin feels pulverized (from within). At one ER visit they told me I have developed cataracts in both eyes. Will have an additional exam in Dec. or in Jan. 2022. One doctor prescribed Verapamil 180 mg. It has reduced cardiac irregularities.

Will have 2nd EEG to see if perhaps I have belated affects of CT, contact trauma or concussion trauma, or what. Seem to be doing this all on my own. No assistance yet for over 6 months.

Now, in '22 and '23 am wading through quite a few of the after affects of post Covid complications, as illustrated in Washington Univ. School of Medicine, St. Louis.

After all this, my airways are very sensitive. No?

A quick summary here carries into 2024:

Lacking funds, a visit to a judge results in having to quit the apartment since

agencies don't have resources available to assist with rent. I move to a shelter.

Face many kinds of people in a building that is being rennovated while we bed there with cots and have to move around when pods are worked on during

our presence.

Through ER, am diagnosed with pneumonia and am given a ineffective medicine.

At mid May an struck by a car in a crosswalk while the walk light is counting down.

Over weeks of coughing in 65 degree room temperature, a second pneumonia starts and treated with azrithromycin which does not counter it. Finally, my doctor says I have to go to ER which admits me to the hospital for a week and am

treated for sepsis of the left lung.

Have fortune of a hotel for morning visits to town which allows me to have breakfast in their Icon Bistro at a Double Tree hotel. Much appreciated especially as winter of 2024 approaches. Still dread developing another case of pneumonia while trying to change from the shelter. Hopefully the hospital antibiotics will be

preventative.

Late October X Ray of back shows moderate arthritis, one kidney stone and

gallstones "on" the gallbladder.
