So, last
night then.
First
off, two items of news. Jaz and Geordie want to take 100 Gatherers to India
at some point (October next year, I think) to complete a several-day
pilgrimage around a holy mountain visiting various temples. I forget the name
of the pilgrimage, but it is a well-established Hindu pilgrimage that takes
place around a full moon.
“If
you’re on the dole and can’t afford it, we’ll just find a way for you to go”.
Jaz said that
him and Geordie wanted to act as “mentors” to the 100 to help them identify
their inner genius. The idea is, IIRC, to then meet at the next full moon in
the UK, and then again a year later to see how much life has changed.
Second
item of news, is that Jaz plans to do more lectures around the country between
tour dates.
The whole
activity appears aimed at, as I say, helping those who want to, to identify
their inner genius.
Last
night was a game of two halves. The first half was about the New World Order
and the various conspiracy-theory spokes that come out of that topic. So we
heard that the 100-year-old Rockefeller is at the centre of the NWO and wants
to finish his project before he dies. And we heard about FEMA camps, about vapour
trails dropping nano worms, control of population through food supply, and fluoride
in the water….
Frankly
it was a bit of a ramble so a bit hard for me to put something down coherently
about it. Perhaps others could do a better job.
Although
it was moderately engaging in places, when the break came and I turned around
to see that my two pals (who aren’t fans) had left early; I wasn’t surprised.
You had to be very sympathetic to Jaz to sit through non-sourced and surely in
some cases wildly exaggerated claims.
For
example, he spoke of a US senator who did or found something out (can’t
remember what it was but it was alarming), but he didn’t name the senator so
how can that be verified? Why wouldn’t you name the senator? It just wreaks of
pseudo-academic research.
Another
example, this time of exaggeration: he mentioned that a member of KJ was close
to Rockefeller and, by implication, has some great looking-hole into the whole
conspiracy shebang.
Obviously
he’s referring to BPF here… but c’mon, are we seriously expected to believe
that BPF and Rockefeller are tight? Are we supposed to believe that
Rockefeller, who knows presidents, prime ministers, celebrities and the other
four people that run the universe, suddenly, in the very final years of his
life, as he’s getting towards 100 and going to die, thinks to himself, ‘I know,
I’m going to become really close to that guy there, the one who plays drums in
a band. He once dusted down the toes of an ancient Buddha sculpture for my
Foundation, where he works part-time along with 14,000 other people who I also
don’t know. I’m going to let this guy into my inner sanctum and I’m going to
tell him everything.’
Course he
didn’t do that. Course he f-ing didn’t.
The
second half I suppose dwelt a bit more on the spiritual, though again it’s a
bit hard to sum it up as the road he steered through this topic had many turns,
junctions, and needed resurfacing in places.
He ended
though with a very nice reading and seemed moved as he left the stage quickly.
Forgive
my somewhat negative review. I’m sure there’s lots I‘ve missed. It was as
always a great privilege to sit in with Coleman and I think it’s great that he
does these things.
He was in
a friendly, relaxed mood and there were many flashes of humour.
About 5/10
for content.
8/10 for
delivery.
