"You are not a victim; you just scream with boredom! You are not evicting time..." -BowieWhat is time that it has the power to grind everything known to us into dust? Some say time is moving faster; but perhaps it is your own consciousness, moving time! How to enjoy the journey and make the destination?
In dreams the time-scale is everything; you can travel through the stars, have dinner in another galaxy, and return to your body to see just a minute has passed! In ancient cultures, music and beats came to be known as a "Dream Time" vibration, one which lifts you, takes you to places you might otherwise never go! Learn how to play and to dream; trick yourself out of time! Time is an illusion - not real. It is the "timing" in life that is always shifting-shape. Life moves like a mandlebrot. You can become a part of another Dreamer's Dream, and not even know it! Dance and laugh! Be seriously playful - and playfully serious! Experiment with new beginnings by allowing yourself to experience life through the eyes of a child. This is the beginner's way to Zen.
The oracle suggests it is time to get back into your body by slowing down, getting the right exercise you need. Have you been spacing-out? Having accidents? It may be that you need to put on some weight as well. It's important that you feel in control of your body, not the other way around. Are you struggling with substance addiction? Is substance addiction undermining you?
If you're feeling overwhelmed by people and situations, it may be necessary to slow down, take your thoughts and plans on a moment-to-moment basis. Don't over-reach yourself. Be careful not to let panic take hold of you. If you're having constant accidents and cravings, panic may be getting the best of you. Professional help might be useful.
"In a way, history almost ceases to exist - possibly, we can't really entertain the idea of a future in the same way... Which may not be a bad thing. I mean, by hacking off the limbs of both past and future, we might have created a workable future where we have to deal with things on a day to day basis, rather than having long-term plans for a world which really can't afford to have long-term plans..." - David Bowie; Esquire, Oct. 1995

My apologies in advance for writing this here, I looked for a way to contact you directly but couldn't find it.
I saw one of your Amazon reviews and thought you might be interested in a book I just published, Dorothy's Oz Dream: a Guide to Enchantment and Empowerment.
The book overlaps with many of your interests -- ritual practices, tricksters and, of course, and Dorothy and her Oz dream.

Great blog.

ps. As a Bowie aside, the first concert I attended was a Bowie concert in Hollywood Florida probably around 1971. Band members were hanging out by the pool where I lived, and gave passes to some of my friends (high school girls they were hitting on), and someone brought me to the concert with them.
Bowie never came down to the pool. I vaguely recall one of the band members telling us that he was very, very serious, and always, always working.
Thank You for contacting me, Jon. I'll look into your book! BTW: I don't think Bowie was ever fond of swimming pools... Happy 2009!
DAVID BOWIE - BOWIE USED WITCHCRAFT TO BEAT COCAINE PARANOIA

A white witch helped cure DAVID BOWIE of his crippling drug-fueled paranoia, according to a revealing new book about the rock star.
Writer Mark Spitz spent years talking to Bowie, as well as the rocker's family and friends, in a bid to explode myths about the Let's Dance legend in his new tome, Bowie.
And Spitz reveals how the rocker called on magic to help him get through a terrifying part of his life.
In the book, Spitz writes, "While planning the follow-up to Young Americans (album), Bowie would sit in the house with a pile of high-quality cocaine atop the glass coffee table, a sketch pad and a stack of books. Psychic Self Defense was his favorite. Its author describes the book as a 'safeguard for protecting yourself against paranormal malevolence.'
"Using this and more arcane books on witchcraft, white magic and its malevolent counterpart, black magic, as rough guides to his own rapidly fragmenting psyche, Bowie began drawing protective pentagrams on every surface."
Bowie told the author, "I'd stay up for weeks. Even people like Keith Richards were floored by it. And there were pieces of me all over the floor. I paid with the worst manic depression of my life. My psyche went through the roof, it just fractured into pieces. I was hallucinating 24 hours a day."
Spitz adds, "Increasingly Bowie was convinced there were witches after his semen. They were intent on using it to make a child to sacrifice to the devil, essentially the plot to Roman Polanski's 1968 supernatural classic Rosemary's Baby."
A friend hooked Bowie up with New York-based white witch Walli Elmlark.
The author adds, "Elmlark quickly and successfully exorcised the pool. Angie (Bowie), who was living there at the time, noted that it started to bubble and smoke, and that it only rained outside David's window while the rest of the L.A. sky was clear. Elmlark wrote a series of spells and incantations out for Bowie as he continued to wrestle with the forces of darkness."
