Shoey, I hope you'll stay around and continue to pass along all you've learned, suits and shoes to weeds and juice. Achieving outer harmony and inner tranquility is a rare thing.
If you do go, though, I would like to know how you reconcile the wish for the immediate collapse of current society (such as it is) and the inconceivably immense amount of suffering, death and destruction that would bring with the helping "people who want to take the higher road" to "become better people." Are the changes you desire for mankind as a whole possible without all the death and destruction, without all the suffering?
I guess I'm asking, with all you've seen on your talk and tours, is a gentle change possible or do you see only a violent one happening?

l'm not so sure about the karma thing yet either, but l will be meeting some masters and discussing all this with them. lt will be interesting what they have to say.

*L* Mr. Carroll's definition is so bad it's not even wrong. Yet another example of someone who, having a bit of success in one area, decides they can be successful in anything. This is also called hubris, one of the many pitfalls of academia.
^ I don't mean to sound off-putting, but please try a Google search for Karma. Even the most superficial understanding of the term would vanquish his ignorant, snarky comments.
It is nearly impossible to come up with an analogy to show just how off he is, but here goes:
Q: What is red?
A: In the Big knockers of the timid, pasta means that they accept tomato sauce without question, as dogs do and their masters command.
Perhaps, Shooman, 'One reaps what they sow' would be a better modus operandi ? ; )
I lived in India for a time and I saw what a ponderous weight karma can be around the neck of the lower castes.
One is born into a a low position because of some unremembered, undisclosed misdeeds from a previous life which cause the current life to be a 'well deserved' unremitting hell.
There is no escape, no reason or opportunity to better one's self, one is fucked, an indicted conspirator to or for what ? Thankfully things are changing, although very slowly.
The Japs eat too many whales and dolphins there'll not be any left to eat in the future. That's just cause and effect.
I don't think the Great Whale In The Sky caused a nuclear disaster in recompense

Ahhh yes, the masters I thought they would show up sooner or later, looking for a full quart of raw fooder plasma. Make them eat weeds, get them domesticated like sheep, get them ready for the butchers knife.
The Japanese children must suffer too, if only they had taken up munching algae, they too would be saved! The good thing about the raw food cult, all your crimes and sins can be wiped clean by eating a stick of celery.
Potent stuff, I'm off me tits mate! Nothing more powerful than Benriach 15 year old non-chillfiltered whisky straight from the cask.
From now on its non-chillfiltered single cask strength drinking whisky for me! Get a group of us, make a distillery and dispense joy and instant karma to the raw fooders. We can save them from the poison algae and weed munching.

I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about. Must have imagined the whole thing.
I hope your car is sounding car-like, in the way a well-tuned one is supposed to.
And thank you for describing Bob-Rob as a zealous, self-appointed, efficient assassin of outward-looking, religious fervor. He'd get quite a kick out of that!
As for Shoey following "the masters" it makes me wonder if he's not pulling on our legs with a weed-covered hand.
Edit: Almost forgot: a Ti Kuan Yin from Taiwan. Wonderful tea with an amazing bouquet, taste and mentally uplifting properties.

^ NJS, you had me at "foie gras" in duck fat but then you wrote "Bual Madeira." If that last is at least something from Cossart-Gordon...well, I love you.
Do try, at least once, foie gras given a quick sear (really a literal flash in the pan) in duck fat. If it's the good stuff, meaning mostly duck liver already, then the quick sear in its original juices gives it a textural addition that is truly ethereal. First had this at Le Meurice in Paris and have dreamt of it ever since.
And yes, smiling corpses but ones in which no regrets can be found. As it should be.
