If you have finally burned out the dark karma of your Hanford
experience and the criminal cult fiasco, perhaps you can start on a
new Path?

All the consumer goods one accumulates over the decades are hardly
keepsakes, they might as well be tossed into a dumpster.
That's what I did when I left Babylon by the Sea, tossed 75% of it
into the big metal box, to be hauled to the landfill.
There is such peace in owning little or nothing.
One doesn't have to worry about the decay of a Steinway grand piano if
one no longer owns such an instrument.
Jeffrey Armstrong, a follower of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Pradhupada (founder of the Society for Krishna Consciousness)
was so impressed by the 2009 film "Avatar," he immediately sat down
and wrote a book called "Spiritual Teachings of the Avatar."
Armstrong explains that the firststep to transcendance of the
materialistic human experience is *nirvana*,
The Sanskrit etymology is from *nir* (nothing) and *van* (one who
owns).
But nirvana goes far beyond non materialism.
The nirvani not only owns no material possessions, he feels *no sense
of ownership* or *any material object*, nor does he *covet* material
objects which are owned by others or not owned by anybody at all.
Imagine the sheer bliss of not coveting your neighbor's ass or the ass
of his serving girl.
When a person is no longer motivated by lust or materialism or sensual
desire of any sort whatever, he may cry out, "Gate gate paragate
parasamgate bodhi svaha!" which means "Gone, gone, gone beyond (human
experience), gone beyond beyond, and given to to pure knowing."
In her blog article called "Arriving on the Other Shore of
Consciousness," Lasara Firefox Allen interprets "gate gate..." as
"Gone, gone… Gone is past. Gone is future. Gone is expectation. Gone
is attachment."
In this serene state of bliss, the nirvani lives entirely *in the
moment,* with no worries about the irretrievable past or the equally
unattainable future.

Amazing the things you can look up, then cut-n-paste, on the internet
from the Porterville Public Library, ain't it, harry?
Hey phil baby, you traded in that moldy boat and mildewed camper on
one of those awesome $3k houses yet? Just be careful not to get
cited for speeding coming or going, and stay away from those automated
speed cameras on CA 190 and CA 65 in and around Porterville!
