Learn more about our guests and see pictures of Amache at: najga.org/amacheIn this special episode of the NAJGA podcast, hosts Jan Liverance and Marisa Rodriguez are joined by two remarkable guests—Dr. Bonnie Clark and Greg Kitajima—for a moving conversation about gardens, resilience, and the enduring legacy of Amache.Dr. Bonnie Clark is professor and curator for archaeology in the University of Denver's Anthropology Department. Since 2005, her primary research focus has been the Amache Community Archeology Project, a collaborative endeavor committed to preserving, researching, and interpreting the tangible remains of Amache, the World War II Japanese American incarceration camp in Colorado. She is author of Finding Solace in the Soil, coeditor of Archaeological Landscapes on the High Plains, and coauthor of Denver: An Archaeological History.Greg Kitajima is an independent Certified Aesthetic Pruner based in Santa Barbara, and currently serves on the board of the Amache Alliance. He spent 14 years pruning and maintaining the Japanese Garden at Ganna Walska Lotusland, apprenticing for eight of those years under Frank Fujii—the garden's original designer and caretaker for 45 years. In addition to his training at Lotusland, Greg has also studied Japanese gardens and pine pruning in Japan, and has trained with Dennis Makishima on the art of Aesthetic Pruning.Together, they paint a vivid picture of Amache's landscape, past and present—sharing stories of discovery, reflection, and the power of place. From archaeological fieldwork to family narratives and garden traditions, this episode invites listeners to consider why the legacy of Amache still matters, and how we continue to carry these stories forward.

Here's hoping you had a wonderful holiday season, now back to more podcasts! This is an episode I have been looking forward to for quite some time as I get to chat with Darcy Van Poelgeest about his newest Boom! Studios comic Lotus Land with artist Caio Filipe. I read issue #1 of Lotus Land and it's a science-fiction noir, set in a future version of Vancouver. It's a mystery where we, the reader, follow along as things unravel but at its heart is the story of a parent and child. I loved it. I have been a fan of Darcy's work since the owner of my LCS put a copy of Little Bird #1 into my hand and said "You MUST read this", because Little Bird is one of the best comics I have ever read. We even get to discuss a little bit about Precious Metal. So check out DVP's website and be sure to subscribe to his newsletter and go pick up Lotus Land now!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome back, comic book enthusiasts and casual readers alike! In today's episode, we delve into the captivating world of graphic novels with a focus on a groundbreaking new title that's creating waves for its daring and poignant representation. We're thrilled to discuss the launch of an innovative comic book, Holy Roller, featuring a Jewish protagonist who courageously returns to his hometown. The once-familiar streets are now overshadowed by the rise of anti-Semitism, a real-world issue that is boldly tackled within the panels of this daring narrative. We're genuinely excited about the potential for this comic to become a staple in the industry. With a strong narrative and a creative team that's committed to authenticity and depth, this comic book is poised to leave a lasting mark on the genre. In a landscape often dominated by conventional heroes, the emergence of a Jewish superhero is a significant step forward for diversity and representation in mainstream comics. This protagonist is not only a figure of strength and resilience but also a symbol of cultural identity and pride. Recommended Read: “Lotus Land” Despite some criticisms regarding its depiction of future technology, “Lotus Land” is recommended as a cohesive and immersive detective story set in a well-constructed futuristic world. Listeners are encouraged to explore this tale for its unique take on the genre. As we wrap up today's enlightening discussion, we extend an invitation to our listeners to join us again for more engaging talks on the latest and greatest in the comic book scene. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the medium, there's always something exciting to discover. Remember to tune in next time for another deep dive into the stories that challenge, entertain, and inspire us. Until then, keep turning those pages and exploring the universes hidden within!

It is all applied to our spiritual awakening. “Allen Ginsberg is a very close friend of mine, and for a long time, because Allen was being very much publicly gay in his writings and his writing at work, I questioned whether that was my role too. I saw along the way, because of my drug history, that I was identified by many people as being a “druggie.” I began to see that every one of these roles and labels was both a way of having a feeling of comfort in a group identity, while also being a defining concept in my own mind. I see people who have labels in their mind of who I am. I found it a little too complicated to have any labels at all.” - Ram Dass Marcus has been creative all of his life. Born to a journalist and scientist, and raised in a community adjacent to a nuclear research facility in rural Manitoba called Pinawa. Marcus' upbringing was one of dynamic creativity and radioactive inspiration. Marcus began performing stand-up comedy in 1996 in Ottawa.

He has performed all across Canada and L.A., headlining in Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, toured the country twice, and been featured on XM Radio as well CBC Radio's Definitely Not the Opera and Madly Off in All Directions.

Marcus completed his BA in psychology in 2005 and then two years later the Langara College digital documentary program, and in 2008 finished Big Medicine – The Techno-Shamanism of Frank Ogden. In 2017 he released his magnus opus film Bucket Chemistry, featuring a four-act psychedelic death and rebirth multimedia rock-show. In February 1995, after a life changing psilocybin experience, Marcus began the research that would lead to his interest in Frank's work when he started investigating psychoactive drugs - culminating in the publication of Shamanic Graffiti in 2016, with the second edition coming out this year.

The way I do that is that I just hang out with him all the time. I have an imaginary playmate in a way, I mean, he's dead. He dropped his body, yet he seems so alive to me, because I have invested that form in my mind as an emotional connection to that deeper truth. Because for me, Maharajji is the cosmic giggle.

In the latter part of his life, the artist Monet purchased a farm outside Paris, where he spent years creating a magical masterpiece—an exotic lotus land. In the garden of Giverny, he painted and meditated for almost 30 years. Many of the canvases he made during this time depicted waterlilies with large blossoms and pads suspended as if in space in the azure water mingled with the clouds. The guided meditation, Lotus Land, begins with a simple relaxation exercise and then journeys back in time to the colourful garden of Giverny. Here you will discover an otherworldly sense of peace. The visualisation ends with soothing ambient sounds from Monet's water lily garden.

We pushed away our normal waking state in order to embrace a state of euphoria, harmony, bliss, peace, or ecstasy. Many of us spent long periods of time getting high and coming down. My guru, in speaking about psychedelics, said: “These medicines will allow you to come and visit Christ, but you can only stay two hours. Then you have to leave again. This is not the true samadhi. It's better to become Christ than to visit him – but even the visit of a saint for a moment is useful.” Then he added, “But love is the most powerful medicine.”  For love slowly transforms you into what the psychedelics only let you glimpse.” - Ram Dass राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम (108 Ram) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/baba-here-love/support

UnMind: Zen Moments With Great Cloud

EquilibriumMaybe even equipoise.It’s in the balance.* * *Equanimity, the fourth and last of the immeasurables of Buddhism:1. Metta (loving kindness)2. Karuna (compassion)3. Mudita (sympathetic joy or empathy)4. Upekkha (equanimity)Upekkha. Has the ring of authenticity to it, doesn’t it? Equanimity, not so much. Too familiar, too ordinary. Besides, nobody really knows what it means. Note how much more authoritative it sounds when we use the Sanskrit? Brings to mind the Peter Sellers scene in The Naked Truth where, trying to pass for Irish in a pub in order to buy a bomb from the IRA says, “Well, we always have the Gaelic…” and launching into a monologue is immediately punched in the nose and thrown out of the bar. Fake accent of an Englishman the dead giveaway.This tendency — to rely heavily on jargonspeak — has a similar deleterious effect in any category of discourse, and can be especially disingenuous in dharma dialog. It sets up an “us and them” dichotomy, whether intended or not. It tends to imply that the speaker possesses greater knowledge, more expertise — at least in her or his own estimation — and therefore presumably the listener is rendered lesser in that regard. It leverages the faux asymmetry of the relationship. Zen is, or should be, the great equalizer.The implication is that, by boldly brandishing the Zen vernacular, I must have mastered its deeper meaning. This is why we have to keep reminding ourselves that we do not master Zen — in any language — it masters us. Far better to de-mystify any discussion, eliminating jargon wherever possible, and to rely on our own, direct experience — and plain language — to explore the true meaning of these ancient teachings. We teach each other Buddhism, as Matsuoka Roshi often said.Equanimity brings to mind other terms derived from the same root, such as equipoise, and equilibrium. The good thing about these terms is that they imply something physical, rather than emotional, or mental. The first two syllables derive from “equal,” and the dictionary definitions all refer to balance. So all three would have some connection to the Sanskrit samadhi, one of the more frequently mentioned jargon terms in Buddhism.In zazen, if we sit still enough for long enough, we begin to experience equipoise in our upright seated posture, coming into perfect alignment with gravity. All forces of mass and weight come to center around the spine, like the cables supporting a digital cell tower. When we hit that sweet spot in the middle of our stomach, it is as if we are floating off the cushion — free falling. Equilibrium ensues, affecting mental clarity and emotional composure. Eventually equanimity manifests even in the social sphere, where relationships with others benefit from less friction and conflict.If we regard equanimity, along with loving kindness, compassion, and empathy, as essentially immeasurable, they connect to Master Dogen’s closing lines in Jijuyu Zammai (Self-fulfilling Samadhi):Hundreds of things all manifest original practice from the original faceIt is impossible to measureKnow that even if all the buddhas of the ten directionsAs innumerable as the sands of the GangesExert their strength and with the Buddha’s wisdomTry to measure the merits of one person’s zazenThey will not be able to fully comprehend itSo what is truly immeasurable is the whole of the effect, the merit, of zazen. Zen claims to transmit Buddha’s meditation, the very same process that took place that night under the Bodhi tree some two-and-a-half millennia ago. We all have all the same equipment to work with that he had, after all — the toolkit comes with birth as a human being. We also enjoy relatively supportive causes and conditions, the circumstances of contemporary life, including exposure to the buddha-dharma, and access to training in meditation. As Hakuin Zenji asks toward the end of Zazen Wasan (Song of Zazen), “What is there outside us? What is there we lack?”He goes on to claim that “Nirvana is openly shown to our eyes. This earth where we stand is the pure Lotus Land and this very body the body of Buddha.” A bit hard to swallow, in the light of our self-effacing self-doubt, which at its worse becomes the life sentence of self-loathing. Nobody said this would be easy.Bringing our focus back to zazen, I think it is critical to recognize and accept that the immeasurables of this excellent method are also the most important aspects. It matters less how regularly we sit in meditation, how frequently, how long we sit, et cetera. Whatever measurable parameters we may put around it, the most important is that we simply never give up, as Matsuoka Roshi always reminded us.The downside to setting up strict regimens around zazen — as we are prone to do around working out, aerobics, and other activities that we expect to show results — is that the results of zazen are not so obvious. And, just as with any goal-oriented activity, if and when we do not live up to our own expectations, we are naturally disappointed, may become discouraged, and tend to reaffirm our own self-criticizing proclivity, proving that we are the failure we always suspected we were.Better to sit without expectations, but without abandoning our aspiration to something that cannot be so simply expressed as a measurable goal. This does not mean that we do not set reasonable benchmarks to assure enough depth of experience that we give zazen a legitimate chance to work its magic. But the immeasurable of the qualitative dimension of the experience takes precedence and priority over any quantifiable dimension.Which brings us back to the old cliché, “Just sit.” This overworked expression is not a cavalier or flip comment meant to dismiss any consideration of the serious issues that we face, including actual mental and chemical imbalances that we may be dealing with, but to suggest that when we do sit, we just sit, rather than engaging in daydreaming, planning, ruminating over the past, et cetera.If we turn up the intensity knob, sitting “more” in the qualitative sense when we are actually sitting, then we begin to manifest the true meaning of “just sit.” Would it were so simple. But of course we find that just sitting includes the full panoply of monkey-mind machinations, the impertinent imprecations of negative thinking on steroids, as well as the more trivial but distracting push-you pull-me of everyday tedium, those mundane but persistent weasels of samsara ripping our flesh. It is difficult to feel equanimous on the Titanic. The ship is definitely going down, and it doesn’t matter that the lifeboats are made in Japan. Zen is American as apple pie.The gateway drug to equanimity is patience. If we can come to practice patience on the cushion — patience with our situation in this imperfect world, and patience with the monkey’s inept attempts to cope with it — we may find our way clear to the equilibrium, the equipoise, the equanimity that is at the heart of all the clamor, clutter, and seeming chaos. It is all floating in samadhi. Time to release our grip on our imagined reality, so as to float in the equanimity of Zen.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

Den engelska tonsättaren, författaren och pianisten Cyril Scott visade tidigt musikaliska talanger. Han skickades till Koch-konservatoriet i Frankfurt vid tolv års ålder för att studera. Åter i England gav hans impressionistiska pianostycken och sånger tillsammans med hans anslående romantiska utseende honom rykte om sig att vara en modernistisk tonsättare. Under mellankrigstiden framfördes hans musik ofta på kontinenten. Men det som varit ett nytt musikaliskt intryck kom nu att anses vara en tidstypisk musik, som funnit sina främsta företrädare i Debussy och Skrjabin. I dag är han i England ihågkommen för en handfull sånger och pianostycken, bl.a. Lotus land, som han själv spelade in på pianorulle. Mer information på sverigesradio.se/p2

Astrology belief came from Babel, not the Bible! It may surprise you to know that both Ronald and Nancy Reagan  have had an interest in Astrology since his movie acting career! Amazingly, this touchy matter came up when Reagan chose the Late Show hour of 12:10 a.m. to be sworn in as governor. Astrologers looking up his chart said the Aquarian Reagan had picked the most propitious astrological moment to merge politics and show biz. Spokesmen for the ex-cowboy actor have stuck by their anti-astrologer guns over the years despite published reports in the Hollywood trades that Reagan has long been a client of the famous Lotus Land astrologer Carroll Righter. Israel's final doom was linked directly to its people's involvement with astrological planet worship.  They forsook all the commands of the Lord their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves and an Ashram pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts and they worshiped Baal. They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire. They practiced divination and sorcery and sold themselves to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 2 Kin. 16: 16, 17, 20, King Rehoboam of Judah not only erected images of Taurus but also of Aries the goat, (2 Chron. 11:15; Lev. 17:7). The god Moloch (Milchom, Moloch, Malcham) to whom human sacrifices were made was another astrological god who was worshiped, (Lev. 18:21; 20:1-6). It represented the sun and was worshiped by casting live children into the fire in its belly. http://www.miracleinternetchurch.com/
