Far Out
When you just can't do it any longer, this is what you're left with:I might take the daring leap into full blown atheism. I was once a guy that read Tarot cards, believed in angels, played with pendulums and spent a fortune on books like "The Secret". I now have no doubt that all of that stuff is at best, a fun distraction and at worst, a dangerous delusion. I feel like my eyes are opening to a new level of personal truth and with that truth, ironically perhaps, my long-time depression is slowly dissolving and a boyhood sense of scientific wonder is re-appearing.Yes, Sir. When you finally come to terms with reality, the last place you'll want to be is one of those so-called "power spots" or dream factories - where you can see the cogs turning and you're still treated worse than someone in the audience. Where you realize you're being used. What is anyone in any of those places for again?
More and more, I want to get out of Los Angeles.
Oh yeah, being there, Chauncy.
Being there - and nothing more.

England, You're Getting Pretty Dotty In Old Age
Well, at least we know how many of the cluelessly gullible types are out there:More than half of Britons believe in life after death and two in five believe in angels.Now why would anyone be embarrassed about something they believed was true? We'll tell you:
Some 53 per cent believe in psychic powers and the possibility of life after death, a survey reveals. One in five say they have seen a ghost or felt the presence of a spirit while two in five believe in ‘guardian angels’.
Many people believe they have seen the ghost or felt the spirit of a close friend or relative who has passed away.
Two in five say they want to speak to dead relatives and one in five has visited a medium or psychic to help them do so – spending an average of £31 per visit.
Almost two in five adults believe someone in their family is gifted with psychic ability.
A third of the nation describe themselves as ‘spiritual’ but only a quarter claim to be ‘religious’, according to the study carried out for the Clint Eastwood film Hereafter.
However, a third of the nation still believes in heaven and a fifth believes they will be reincarnated when they pass away.
One in five British adults would also love to have a conversation with the former Princess of Wales. Albert Einstein came second in the online poll of 3,000 adults, followed by Marilyn Monroe and Freddie Mercury. Seven per cent of us want to chat to Adolf Hitler.
Penny Sartori, an expert on near-death experiences and author of the study, said people are now less worried about being ridiculed for believing in spirits.
But one in five of us would still be too embarrassed to admit we had seen or felt the presence of a ghost.
Because even the hopelessly self-deluded are aware there's a huuuge difference between believing things and knowing them.

TMR's Weekend Linkfest: You're A NewAger! (1)
You walk around saying silly things, like "some guy" is the equivalent of Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela, when he actually died in hiding so he'd never have to see the inside of a jail cell. But you ignore all that. Nowadays, you put a lot of effort into ignoring things. That's how it is.
You're divorced now, so you spend a lot of time with psychics, wondering if the witches can find you a "soulmate", because - though you've bought a billion of them - none of those self-help books seemed to work at making you interesting. Not even to yourself.
People who don't believe as you do, somehow, can see right through you and you still can't figure out why. You try to put up a good front, staying up on all the news so you have something interesting to talk about, but other than your poor humiliated ex - who said they loved you (no matter what) - other people just find you really weak-minded and superficial. Where's your Guardian Angel when you need her?
Of course, it's all Bush's fault - you just know it. Everything was different before he came along. (Oh, if only Al Gore had won!) Your guru was always coming over in those days, explaining things so you could understand them, and there were so many possibilities that it just seemed like anything could happen. But that was a long time ago.
Right now, though (Be Here Now!) what you need is another session of yoga and meditation, a really stiff drink, and somewhere quiet to write some of that amazing poetry you know you've got in you:It's sure to change everything,...
(To be continued.)

Touched By An Angel (Well, "Touched" Anyway)
"I've only heard of angels and I've only seen pictures, but I never really seen anything like this."-- Colleen Banton, showing us how the stupid talk when they think they're special, for WCNC News Channel 36.

Man, Am I In The Wrong Economic Class!
More than half of all Americans believe they have been helped by a guardian angel in the course of their lives, according to a new poll by the Baylor University Institute for Studies of Religion. In a poll of 1700 respondents, 55% answered affirmatively to the statement, "I was protected from harm by a guardian angel." The responses defied standard class and denominational assumptions about religious belief; the majority held up regardless of denomination, region or education — though the figure was a little lower (37%) among respondents earning more than $150,000 a year.-- David Van Biema, explaining why I'm alone in a crowd, even when reading TIME Magazine
He adds:
"This raises the possibility that guardian angels, which famously support an industry of sentimental accessories, are just so darned attractive that they exist in a charmed belief niche of their own."
Oh joy.
If I have a guardian angel, he or she should leave whatever crop circles they're hanging out in, and do whatever they're told at:
