The Summer of Mystic Love, 2007

...to expand one's individuality beyond established meanings, to seek meaning not on the terms of the culture we live in but to mindfully define it on our own terms, to push the edge of what is known and to embody the life of the myth we have ourself created or discovered...



There is a weird synchronicity in the Mystic in that many, here, are re-discovering the myth of the 1967 San Francisco/Haight-Ashbury Summer of Love, and seeking to create their own myth of the Summer of Mystic Love, 2007.



Pete 'The Shak', in the course of our 'Mystic Dialogues had the revelation that the human creates ideas to explain their emotional state.



Perhaps that is what is happening here in the Mystic. Many, here, are in an emotional state in which they are seeking, wishing for, intending that magic enter the business-as-usual (b-a-u) and make the b-a-u into the not-business-as-usual (n-b-a-u). Many people are seeking, wishing for extraordinary, magical times of the further human possibilities. Many are wishing for/seeking more life in life in a time and space that transcends the known boundaries of the human circumstances.



Gee-Dub has done some wonderful work in raising consciousness. The lie that this is a country whose government is from the people, for the people, by the people has been stripped away. It is now clear that this country's government is from the money, for the money, by the money. The corporate agenda rules and the human agenda does not matter (is not real).



When I see the real news, the mythic news, the news in the tabloids by the supermarkets' check-out counters, I see that it is plain to many that Gee-Dub is 'Drunk-(And all coked-up) And At-The Wheel - Again!!! (see shock rhetoric at www.libbyhome.blogspot.com ).



Those that were alive during the summer of '67 (I was 12), can't help but to see the similiarities. L.B.J. was unpopular (but no-where near as unpopular as Gee-Dub). The anti-Vietnam protest movement had gone main-stream American politics and was going to be a huge factor in the following year's presidential elections. The established myths of nationalism, heroism, organized/orthodox religions - were hemorraghing. There was an intense constellation of the archetype of apocalypse. There was a similiar mass state of emotion that required the creation of ideas to explain the reason all were sharing a similar emotional state.



I say, Bring IT On! Whatever IT will be - I look forward to IT.



I am well positioned for the 'Summer of Mystic Love 2007. I do not want to reveal my position - suffice it to say that I am able to evade the constabulary. I am being paid in American dollars for bottling, canning and drinking beer. (I feel some moral ambiguity about being part of the manufacture of a known "gate-way drug", but I try to hold a Dioynesian/Qabala posture before the mystery of the fermentation.)



For me the Summer of Mystic Love, 2007 is not about hippies, puppy dogs and ice cream. It is about a 19th Century whaling ship mutiny. IT is, The Summer of the Mutiny (see www.libbyhome.blogspot.com ).



For a mariner, a sojourner, a mutineer in this fallen world can have no greater love for their shipmates then to rise up and overthrow the b-a-u, the master of this ship.



And to do their gospel duty, their pilot duty of testifying of the power of the holy spirit.
