Hitler videos are back in vogue.. One can’t help but watch! The latest was about Adolph, Eva Braun, and all the fun they had in the secret bunker. Worth remembering too is Thomas Bernhard, Austrian writer, saying to a packed house at the world premiere of his play ‘Heldenplatz’ at the Vienna Burgtheatre on November 4, 1988, ‘you know, you’re all a bunch of Nazi’s.’

I wasn’t there at the time but later I heard about it. Most of what passes for rhetoric these days is slop.

Hell is small, a real place. I touched it more than once, though that might have been a cardinal mistake. This was the same night I met evil.

Some people disappear into their Buddhism. I’ve seen it happen. Then it’s as if God is only some sort of vague memory, a happy smiling fat man instead of the risen Christ. I’m telling you it’s not the Mind/Body Problem, it’s the Me/Or You dilemma, and we have to meet the challenge head on!

Complete acceptance of the self, whether you’re a man or a woman or a bit of both, is paramount.
