Is THAT what that means? What’s ‘jai guru deva om’ mean?
I suppose I shoudl look it up.
My inner muddle buddhist is still a biut too muddled to be released, it would be like letting Syd Barrett out loose again on his own. He might do OK, but then again he might not.

I often use the ‘Om’ mantra as a way to equalize my inner tensions, but it;s not spiritual with me, it’s physical- the round ‘o’ and the slow closing of the mouth to the ‘m’ create a resonant buzz within my body that seems to reduce muscular ( or in my case, fat ) tension. No spirit there, but a holdover from a layover in the Salt Lake Airport in February 1980, when the last Hare Krishna I saw in an Airport anywhere gave me a few books to read.

The prom king thing? I think it is swell.

Om mani padme hum means, roughly, Hail the jewel in the lotus.

Let it out dude. Bust that shit out.

Who’s the lewel? What’s the jotus? Why am I compelled to add,’…way down yonder in the paw-paw patch!’?

I was just trying to let my muddled inner buddhist out while pointing out that John Lennon described the Internet perfectly in ‘Across the Universe’. Think about that!

Ah, but were you happy being described as a “prom king”?

Cheers Ed - at the risk of sounding ungrateful, it’s “om mani padme hum”

But you know me, no one on earth would enjoy a Sanskrit spoonerism more than me.

Hail the lewel in the jotus to you, too.

Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
inside a letter box they tumble blindly
as they make their way
Across The Universe

Al Gore didn’t invent the internet,John Lennon did!
