Note from Karen below -- I missed it on October 8 

I charted Soul Boom and saved the chapter on the pillars of a spiritual revolution.  I did not like the character of Dwight, so was challenged about the author and his credibility.  Loved the bits and descriptions of his religious upbringing.  Also loved his list of pandemics -- and his contention that the main one we are facing has to do with mental illness (spiritual despair??)  Was attracted that he titled chapter 4 "The Notorious G. O. D." but disappointed by his approach (also a recent book called "The Not-Yet God"  which was trying to pull together the philosophical threads to create a contemporary context for talking about the reality we are finally up against in life -- AMAZING JARGON in the summaries I read.  brought back old memories . . .  

Yes, would be fun . . .

Your comment:  "You KNOW where his ashes are!" reminded me of the Ronin:  "You knew! You knew!  And yet you still used that door!"

You KNOW where his ashes are!

By the way, I vaguely remember you mentioning hearing about Soul Boom.  Did you ever read it?  I find it very interesting - so much so, that after perusing the book from the library, I have ordered it.  Would be fun to make lists like he has about what values to teach, etc. plus work on the new mythology.

Peace,

Karen

Is there a shrine or anything?  Where are his ashes?

Today, we celebrate the 112th birthday of our teacher Joe Mathews. And on the 16th of this month, we mark the day that he died at the age of sixty-six. Gratitude for his clarity, wisdom, and passion to serve the least, the last, and the lost. Now in our time of chaos, collapse, and transformation, may we each be strengthened by his words and deeds.
