Brahma Dung Ananda

Dear Brahma Dung Ananda,

Oh Holy Man who holds the lantern of Eternal Light. One who sees the Eternal flame. Great prophet and seer of the world… I hope my greeting is up to your standards. My friend Cletis helped me with it.

Greetings from Big Springs, Texas. Ma name is Buck and I’m a good friend of Cletis You see, I was having a Bud with Cletis the other night and that sucker could not stop talking about this girl, Sharing and you. To hear him tell it, you two are the best thang since fried tater’s.

As he talked about you, my whole being just sprung alive! As we was a visiting, I asked Cletis how he did this meditation thing. He said that he just remembered how Sharing thought and suddenly he had very little thought!

To tell you the truth, I had a hard time when I tried it… Guess I need to experience Sharing like Cletis did…

Anyway, could you enlighten me as to a way to meditate? Here in big Springs, we don’t have too many of you Guru types… Hell! We have zero Guru’s!

Yours truly in Light,

Buck

Dear Buck,

I am thrilled that my Devotee, Cletis, is spreading the Dharma in such a backward third world country as Texas!

I am so inspired that I hereby accept Cletis as my full fledged student and also declare that Big Springs, Texas is not only the capitol of Texas, but from this day forth shall be known as the Spiritual Center of Texas!

If you two can gather up another 3 or 4 new devotee’s, I will use my considerable occult power to elevate the economic status of your shabby country to that of a Second World Country! Such is my greatness and compassion!

As for meditating, not everyone is as advanced as Sharing and I. She and I hardly ever have any thoughts at all!

Since you are a beginner, I recommend that you meditate to music. When you listen to the music, you should listen with every part of your being. You should concentrate intently on every note. "Really Listen" paying close attention on what areas of your body is being activated by the music. Open your self up to where the music takes you. Naturally, not just any music will do. The music must have the right "vibe".

I recommend that you go right out and buy "Frankie Lane’s Greatest Hits". I tell you, if you listen to the theme to "Rawhide" six or seven times, you won’t be able to hold a coherent thought for quite some time. Another good song to meditate to is "The Theme to Shaft", by Isaac Hayes. I particularly like this one. I fancied myself a white mans "Shaft" before I chose to take the pathway to Enlightenment. Boy! Does that song get me going!
