Dear Joni Mitchell -
For the record, we've never met... but you're one of those people whose music always
sort of set my heart and mind free, and I wanted to take advantage of my website and thank
you.
I was sitting here thinking of homelessness and holistic, concentric plans that don't
allow for such travesties, and my view of the Afghanistan conflict, when I decided to
listen to some music, and it came up with "Down To You".
Of course, my mind went back to a great number of great memories. Like, how my brother
tried to get me to listen to your music in the 60's. I've discovered that my brother got
me to listen to a great number of groups with "special messages" for me... like
Blood, Sweat and Tears, Chicago, you... The New Christy Minstrels, Judy Collins,
Creedence, Cream, Bread, the Beatles.... he bought me my first copy of Abbey Road... I
think followed by Glen Campbell, By the Time I Get To Phoenix.... my mom was insistent
that I listen to Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand and Julie Andrews. Must mean
something...
Course, I got into you more in that magical period in '72 when I was at the high school
station and Court and Spark came out.. I still love that album...
And then in '75 or so, Barangrill was sort of of theme song that always made me hungry.
I'm not real big on eating fish, but there was this place in Eureka that used your song in
their commercial that made the best fish and chips I've ever eaten.... Called the Old Town
Bar and Grill.
But wait.. then there's this guy I know named Charles... interesting guy, love him
alot, some water under the bridge. But one night, he told me this story of one day
walking down Sunset Blvd walking across the driveway of a parking garage when suddenly you
pulled up and stopped to let him pass, and he says you and he exchanged looks as if
recognizing each other, he said it was like from another life.
Interestingly enough, Charles is the same person who first told me about the Kabala. He
didn't explain much to me. He said he'd spent a few years in Israel livingin a Kibutz, and
studying. But, like a lot of things people mentioned to me along the way that I suppose I
was supposed to check out, it just sort of made sense to me, so I didn't study it at all
until a few years back, right before Madonna got into it.
What I really liked about the study of the Kabala was the idea that people would study
all of the writings.. or so many writings... that it's actually thought that it takes as
much as 40 years to really absorb the thought and theory of the religion/faith... what
depth and maturity would be brought to bare in life and in teaching... I also really
lliked the mystical side of it, the idea that we all are of God and that therefore we all
have - in one way or another - a spark of God, of his DNA as part of us, and therefore, is
the basis for why Jesus claimed we are all God. When you put that into another context,
it's the same thing as what Masons attribute to calling "co-creators".
The one part I perosnally have trouble with... not really trouble, just don't want to
do and don't feel is necessary for me, anyway, is the 72 names of God idea. I understand
the concept.
It's like dogma and mantras... being able to properly enunciate the 72 names of God,
like saying the Lord's prayer or other meditative chants or prayers, puts the mind and
body into a particular "frequency" emission and "reception"
"channel".... what's been lost over the years is for people to access those
frequenies as naturally as walking. To tune the mind and body in such a way that it is
capable of "interfacing" with God in a more direct way. Some might say it gives
one the ability to command the universe, and to cause alignment and synchronicity.
The problem is that with 
psychotronics
and synthetic telepathy, scientists have learned to override the signals from
God, seriously, just like a strong radio station overriding a weaker one. Piggybacked
signals, further facilitated by the 6 second delay on tv.
Of course, you know about Montauk and back-masking and all.
When they first started doing it to me, Ithough it was neat. I always figured they'd
get around to mind-to-mind communication. I didn't think it was a threat. I was working so
many hours a day, I was doing all sorts of things to amuse and inspire myself. So when
they started hitting me with psychotronics, I started emailing the people doing it, asking
them to download the Bible and the Koran and other stuff... when that was going on, I
jokingly referred to myself as Neo... it's not as funny now as it was then. When I started
doing the emails to them about it, they almost took me out. They really zapped me when I
wrote to Los Alamos about the Thought Camera... since it's very possible my father helped
Tesla invent it.
That's what Operation Stargate at Stanford was all about, though. Measuring psychic
signals from and to the mind with the most powerful magnetometer ever invented.
Militarizing ESP. Has everything to do with how the Thought Camera works. It's also
actually what the tv show Stargate SG-1 is all about. The CIA's study and use of Remote
Viewing. We used to call it ESP.
People who have some use of their psychic abilities need to be careful right now
because they could be tricked into thinking that the "images" and
"impressions" they are receiving are from the cosmos, when in fact they could be
getting bad info and influence from a government agent or psyop contractor. I wish it
wasn't true. And they don't need implants and things like that like when MK-Ultra was supposedly
ended by the Church Committee.
I particularly see this kind of thought infiltration occurring in the 11:11 and related
chat groups. I've also got evidence showing that email astrological forecasts are being
used to disorient people. Remember, there's the part of the Bible where it says "the
seers will no longer be able to see".
I'm really not sure why I launched into this with you, except I can say I got a little
frightened one day when I was finally catching on to what was being done to me, and the
psychological ploys used to effect "psycho correction" on people who they meant
to marginalize or neutralize, were characterized in some of the lines of this song: 
The
Sire of Sorrow
I'm sorry you had to learn about that. I wish I'd known.
Anyway.. ya know, there was one other thing you and Leon Russell always confused me
about... songs with the line "if I believed in marriage".
Ya know, I was raised to believe in the "one right person" for you theory,
and in most ways I actually do believe in soul mates, even if it doesn't involve marriage
and sex. I actually think it's a very comforting thing. But then, I read the
Bible... and it became apparent that the idea of marriage has been distorted so much. How
it ever became a function of government, as opposed to being reserved to the sanctity of
faith is certainly evil.
Don't get me wrong. I think the idea of marriage, in law or simply in faith, which is
what I now believe in, is a very cool thing. But the idea that you need a binding legal
contract is nothing more than a tradition of ownership of women, like an asset or slave.
It has everything to do with why John Lennon wrote Woman Is Nigger of the World. The
ultimate slave and possession. It's not the way it was supposed to be..
Now, I know we've made a great deal of progress in terms of equality, but I really
don't think people really understand what equality means. We throw the word around, we
have a sense of it, but out of pride and tradition and survival, we still use the male
domination paradigm because it's still the accepted norm.
I had some communciations with a group in Hebron regarding a conference to assist
Palestinians - and they had a very good outline for their objectives and methods - and the
only thing I saw missing that I added was a discussion of what equality is. We've come to
think it means "putting up with each and staying out of each other's way". As if
we've been trained to be afraid of each other, for fear that if we offend someone, they'll
kill us or take out some kind of revenge somehow.
It's another place people forget we need to apply the golden rule in our lives.
What I find most disturbing is that I very much like the part of women that seeks to
resolve conflict and to nurture. It's just part of human nature. Men have been
trained to confront and defend.
What's disturbing, though, is witnessing how women, who deserve a great deal of credit,
rise to positions of power in corporations and government... they think the way to succeed
is to become part of that same male paradigm, and so, who they are as individuals and what
they offer as a gender is lost.
If you think I'm being critical of women, or sexist, understand that what I'm trying to
do is to empower them to be who they are, not some role they're playing or think they have
to be like.
That is, after all, the Gaia concept that people are speaking of and seeking. The
governance of the planet with a more nurturing, gentle touch... a more feminine kind of
touch... it's a shame that it ends up being about gender differences instead of the truth,
which is about being entrenched in role models and steroetypes. And if we could break that
paradigm for a few women, and minorities for that matter, the men would then get
"permission" to be more feeling as well.
Of course, that's very much what the 60's non-conformist slogans came from. Personally,
I'm one of those guys who thinks that NOT crying is a sign of weakness.
I once told someone special that I never wanted to become so desensitized that I would
end up not feeling deeply, and that I would never want to be less than awed every moment
by this beautiful world. I also declared that I would not be one beaten down by
this world either. I aim to keep those promises.
Ah, the old days... always wanted to go to the South of France.. :}
Love yer stuff! Really.
Chuck
PS. Stay tuned for Blue
makes it through.:} Really loved Hejira.
From the Album "Shine"

Sparkle on the ocean
Eagle at the top of a tree
Those crazy crows always making a commotion
This land is home to me.
I was talking to my neighbor
He said, "When I get to heaven, if it is not like this,
I'll just hop a cloud and I'm coming right back down here
Back to this heavenly bliss."
You see those lovely hills
They won't be there for long
They're gonna tear 'em down
And sell them to California
Here come the toxic spills
Miners poking all around
When this place looks like a moonscape
Don't say I didn't warn ya...
Money, money, money...
Money makes the trees come down
It makes mountains into molehills
Big money kicks the wide wide world around.
Black bear in the orchard
At night he's in my garbage cans
He's getting so bold but no one wants to shoot him
He's got a right to roam this land.
I feel like Geronimo
I used to be as trusting as Cochise
But the white eyes lies
He's out of whack with nature
And look how far his weapons reach!
Spirit of the water
Give us all the courage and the grace
To make genius of this tragedy unfolding
The genius to save this place.
