Free: Poetry, PRS Mansion, Hollywood (4/25)

National Poetry Month's featured poet Katie Ford, April 2024


What's it all mean? Let's dive deep
Poet and Peace Activist Mandy Kahn and friends created a poetry series at PRS (the Philosophical Research Society).
  • Deep Dive Poetry
  • Thursday, April 25, 7:30 PM
  • The PRS Mansion Hollywood
  • 3910 Los Feliz Bl., Los Angeles
  • FREE or donate to support PRS
It’s a space for writers to share works that take a “deep dive” —

Host and PRS Peace Teacher Mandy Kahn
poems that consider a philosophical or spiritual dimension to life, poems that plumb the depths of “self,” poems that consider the natural world, or poems that feel contemplative.
Deep is a personal designation, as individual writers see it. Above all, it’s a prompt for poets to pose the question, “In which poems am I focused most deeply?”

This is National Poetry Month. And these are the featured readers:

Inside the PRS (Philosophical Research Society) library of world religions (Manly P. Hall)

Monthly Deep Dive Poetry Series: April's featured poet Katie Ford (poetryfoundation.org)

I.
The Lord Is a Man of War

The Lord is a man of war
I read by window and wick

and for once I believed
the book of Exodus true
the origin of our points sharpened
with fire our axes bows our pikes

and finally I could see
the cooling lava pits of their eyes
their giant gingko ears
their bellows of desert pain
how elephants became elephantry

how the woman who fevered with pox
became after death a weapon
a contagion to catapult over fortified walls

and finally I knew
why in this theater
the missiles are named
Savage Sinner Scapegoat
Peacekeeper and Goblet

Herren er en stridsmann
my descent is of the Vikings so
man is a Lord of war. 

II.
Far Desert Region

Comes August, comes December,
then April thinned of its birds.
Again August, ten times.
Fathers forage the bombed chemical plant
for barrels to carry water
from the lime-bright pools to houses
leaning inside hot wind.

To think a war might give a gift:
a pool, a clean bucket.

III.
The Day-Shift Sleeps,

the night-war wakes:
Torturers button their canvas shirts.
They straighten their cots.
They bite their toast.
They tidy their folders.
They smoke their smokes.
They tidy their blank, blank folders.
All the little chores
before going on a trip,
theirs is the zeal of children.

IV.
[Does the war want

us to unstitch its side and climb in, to become
its good surgeon?
Stupid poet, a war can’t know
what it wants.]

Katie Ford is author of Deposition and Colosseum (Graywolf Press), and of the chapbook Storm (Marick Press). Her poems have appeared in The American Poetry Review, The Paris Review, Ploughshares, Poets & Writers, and The New Yorker.

Underground 420 Festival 2024 (LA)


Underground 420 Festival 2024 Tickets, Saturday, April 20, 2024 at 5:35 PM | Eventbrite
Did the lord smoke? No, he did not.
Drug abuse, whatever the drug (illegal or legal) is not likely to be in keeping with the Buddha's advice and the Five Precepts, the following of which means abstaining from intoxicants that occasion heedlessness.

What is heedlessness? Most simply put, it is violating the other four precepts. One would not kill, not steal, not engage in sexual misconduct, or bear false witness (speak harshly, lie, or idly chit chat), but one would when intoxicated.

Did the dinos? Yes, probably.
Therefore, intoxication can be seen to be harmful, perhaps the most harmful, of these precepts to violate.

If one sees in oneself that one behaves in virtuous ways and conducts oneself with restraint -- except when intoxicated on alcohol or any other substance, then one would be wise to avoid it.

This is true no matter if society is encouraging it, peers are pressuring for the use of it, or the culture is permissive of its use. It's our karma, not theirs. They are doing wrong promoting harmful things, but we will be the one to pay for it if we partake, think lightly of doing so, or fail to abstain from it.
What does "getting wasted" mean?


Moreover, there are two kinds of high, two kinds of substances, but our language choice treats it all as one thing. We say we're "high" when we mean two opposite things.

Dude, I'm straight. I just grow it for hemp seed.
Whether we obtund our consciousness, smash it, obliterate it, cause illusions, distorted views, or misperceptions or intend to expand consciousness, reach for reality, for Truth, for right view, disillusionment, psychic visions, or seeing the world as it really is (with DMT the Spirit Molecule, bufo, iboga, kambo, ketamine, microdosing with magic mushrooms, ayahuasca, peyote, LSD, MDMA, or sacred plants, barks, and vines), we refer to both as "getting wasted." It's misleading, putting rotten sugar (alcohol) abuse on par with a sacred shamanic journey to healing or insight.


Are we feeding our dopamine jones or building up serotonin, chasing a thrill or getting real chill?

Do what you do, for that is your karma. Be careful what you intend, for that colors your karma (deed, action) and determines how the results (vipaka and phala) will arrive, unwished for and costly or welcome and profitable.
Remember when Homer smoked, flew, saw rainbows, cut himself shaving?

Happy birthday, Hitler (420 w/ Joe Rogan)


Adolf Hitler in English AI reconstruction
(Time Unveiled) Jan 1, 2024: RICHMOND This is a remake of a speech by Adolf Hitler before WW II. It has been reconstructed in English as a historical document.

To contribute to this work, consider joining on Patreon: timeunveiled time unveiled (edit) For those who keep asking what tools were used to make this video, here are some links:
Hurt people hurt people (Emo Hitler)
(WQ) In the West there can only be one opinion, which has been summarized by the punk rock band The Vandals. And it runs thus: "Hitler bad, Vandals good."

However heinous we are told the Fuhrer was (and continued to be many years after he presumably died of suicide alongside his very pleasant gal pal and relative Eva Braun, it is important to understand what he said, believed, and did. This is not settled history.

Just as the Nazis were full of propaganda so, too, is our U.S. government, which invited Nazis, sheltered them from prosecution, assimilated them, used them to create weapons of mass destruction to rule the world and create NAZA NASA to rule it from space, took their place on the world stage which they had been granted by extraterrestrial powers.

Adolf had a soft side and a strong PR firm
Following in the footsteps of civil rights won for us by the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), we have a right to hear, question, and investigate the Nazis, Hitler as a Western historical figure, Operation Paperclip and Operation Mockingbird, the activities of eminent mad scientists who previously served the Fuhrer and then exchanged for an upper middle-class lifestyle in the States.

Rizz and style and nice hair?
Powerful Nazis fled to Neu Schwabenland (New Schwaben Land or New Swabia, Antarctica), Argentina, Chile, and elsewhere in South America. This has been looked into by researchers such as Steve Quayle, Tim Kennedy, and others who have published their findings.

On International Pot Day, 4/20, (April 20th), which also serves as the celebration weekend ahead of Earth Day 2024, it is of particular historical interest to listen to the German leader in his own words, which is now possible by AI-assisted tricks such as on-the-fly translation into English of Hitler's own voice and what he was saying to become a Trump-style populist, rabble-rousing, and stirring the otherwise sane and industrial people of Germany to a furor.

If this content is too disturbing to stomach, please look away or send complaints to Wisdom Quarterly, c/o Ashley Wells, and insert them in the comments section for editorial consideration.
  • Tim Kennedy, Joe Rogan Experience; Time Unveiled, 1/1/24; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

(JRE Clips) Joe Rogan is shocked that German leader Adolf Hitler survived WW II and escaped to South America. The U.S. government spent millions trying to track him down, as Tim Kennedy's History Channel program Hunting Hitler on what is more than a conspiracy theory. It is verifiable fact that tens of thousands of powerful NAZI officers and officials made it to South America to live on. See Colonia Dignidad (Villa Barbaria or "Bavarian Village" in Chile?) on a torture camp where Dr. Josef Mengele worked under Argentina's Peron. May 17, 2018: Tim Kennedy tells Rogan what he's learned doing his show Hunting Hitler.
