Okay, so here is the obligatory poem that you are all hostage to which is 'Happy almost birthday to Siri Singh SahibSiri Singh Sahib Honorary title given to Yogi Bhajan to indicate his role as spiritual leader of Sikh Dharma in the West.

YB: Mama Mia. Mama...

Today is the day, we got those best painting framed of the Ten GurusGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. , which is a very great work of art, which is amazing how much somebody can do, that's one thing. Then we got the other thing, here we have got two great paintings, far out. Some little angel singing, even you might be surprised these paintings on the wall are very historical.

Once upon a time there was a couple, they were very devotees, something in their past happened and there was a choice, and judge gave them a choice, five years with 3HO or five years with jail, so they chose to be with 3HO for five years. The lady was very (?), and in those days forget about we knew nothing, and these paintings were done for the Hacienda de Guru Ram Das , The Ashram The grounds of Yogi Bhajan's traditional home and ranch in Espanola, NM, as well the surrounding businesses, gurdwara and langar hall. AshramHacienda de Guru Ram Das , The Ashram The grounds of Yogi Bhajan's traditional home and ranch in Espanola, NM, as well the surrounding businesses, gurdwara and langar hall. Ashram , Aashram A community of practitioners who come together to live conscious, mindful lives. , which are on the walls and we have always celebrated them as part of us I think, first thing when we started 3HO was made this and this is a Jantra, if you understand this, you don't want to understand anything else in life, it solves all your problems and that was made by an artist, I forgot, do you remember the name of the man?

Student: (-----)

YB: No, no, no, no.

Student: (-----)

YB: He was in Virginia and yeah...

Student: (-----)

YB: He's one of the most popular artists of United Sates and he made this as first and that's how we started.

Tonight we are capping up the incompetency and we are incompetent by nature and our computers takes time to assess our capacity against... Had we not been incompetent, our accomplishment would have been zero, do you know that? No? That simple thing nobody taught you? Now listen, you are very relaxed in your brain, relaxed and then all of a sudden the tide comes, the challenge comes. If you take more than three seconds to find all angles, answers and everything, you are incompetent. Maximum time allowed is three seconds. On average we take about seven minutes, so how much incompetent you are, just understand that. "What do you say," "hah, hah," "okay, let me think it over," "now I don't understand what you said that," "yeah, I am okay," "I mean, we have to do that, right, hah," "I am not sure." These are your normal reflexes, and sometime look at the watch, for about seven minutes, you will avoid the issue, seven minutes in life are very precious.

You know, when I was in this yoga conference I went there and there was a question, 'whether we should have a GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. or not?' They asked me the same question, they never knew, what I will do to them, they thought they can ask anybody and everybody was saying, may be, may not, you know it was just that ridiculous thing and they asked me whether we should have a GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. or not.

I said, "Never, don't, because you will be permanently idiot."

"But how come?"

Because, you don't understand what a GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. is. A competent teacher, who can chisel you to success for tomorrow, you can't even pay the price. There is no gift you can give, there is no self you can offer and there is nothing in the world you can give him to make you perfect, because there is a one man, who can tell you, "You are wrong." And then he will tell you how you can be right, if you don't have that person in your life, you don't have any life. Everything is a discussion, everything is a feeling, everything is a logic, everything is circumstantial, you can have two hundred million things to do, you can be a baboon, you can jump out this way, you can jump on that tree, you can look this way, you can look that way.

I mean to say, I am surprised in the west, there is a little bit of that, it is not yet here, but when I went to my teacher, it's not that I didn't have anything, I have more than anybody could have, but his word was law. So that taught obedience, that taught coming to challenge, that taught doing it, that taught totally emotional control, taught using your intuition and intelligence at the same time apprehending and comprehensing, doing things, it's a very powerful training. You don't get that training in a school or a college, you don't get it anywhere. I mean, here to surrender or obedience is like you are a slave, and to... If a teacher says something it's a exploitation or 'why should we do it and who is he,' there are lot of million questions you people ask, but to people who have the grace and graciousness, now he is a Sant Darshan Singh, I used to know when he was just Baba Khadak Singh was a saint and he was just his personal orderly, whatever he said he did and when he left, he presides today. I mean to say, it is a very earned process, it's a earned process of a human endurance.

Student learns endurance, and mind you, the teacher is not rational, rational teacher you can get anywhere you want. Teacher is most irrational, impossible and it is no logic can justify it. Now tell me how can you justify when I was going to meet the Deputy Commissioner, District Officer with my teacher?

He asked me, "Can you go on this tree?" And I went, and he said, "Stay there till I come," and he showed up three days later, and never asked me, "how you felt, how was it, what was going on," I was there three days up on that tree. I learnt survival, I learnt not to fall down eighteen to twenty feet, I learnt how to sleep on a tree, I learnt how to wash myself, I learnt how to feed myself. Anybody of you can have a chance like that.

So in this yoga conference there were lots of questions asked. One question was asked about sex, 'what is this?' The problem is you do not know what sex is. She is horny, you are horny, her bucket and your stir, does it, you ejaculate, you call it sex, pukpukpuk pachpahcpachpach tutututtu... And all that is here is not... There is no reverence, there is no merge, there is no urge, there is no competency, there is no vastness of it, there is no setup, there is no actions, it is just emotional bondage. Same with the children are raised with also the same when there is a child, love, love, love, love. Now tell me, when you have a child, you give him two hundred fifty thousand pounds of love everyday, when that damn child is going to be twenty-five or thirty years old, who is going to give him that love, what kind of habits you are giving? Love, love, love, love, love and then that kid wants love from everything then you don't have it. The world doesn't have it, the neighbors doesn't have it, the workforce doesn't have it and we in English call 'spoiled brat,' right? Remember that? What is the fault with the kid? How many fathers have taught their sons and daughter both self defense? They don't know themselves.

I mean to say, it is a very funny thing, though I used to have six, seven servants, right? Look what a habit I had, I was after commanding officer, I have people under my control, I have twelve servants, six orderlies, six, it's not something, but on Sunday, on every Sunday when I was home, I will cook meal for my servants, first they will be fed, that was the day when I shall cook and feed them; and gourmet. That kept me in knowledge of my cooking joy, which I had, and that gave them a very special idea that they are also human being, they are not just serving us and that day we will make them sit on the table and arrange it accordingly as they used to arrange for me and feed them. Human courtesy. I understand I have a family servant called, Ramu, oh God, you can't do lot of things, if something happens he'll say no, that goes.

One day between me and my wife there was a discussion, and he said, "Well, this is the way to do it," and we both had to agree.

There is a not a servant and a master and a friend and a friend, there is a human aspect to conquer the inadequacy deficiency that human aspect is with us.

Efficiency is, when you conquer the deficiency in no waste of time and result returned. I do not know where these people are teaching yoga from last... They say, "We have been teaching yoga for hundred years," I don't think anybody teaches yoga, I think people are being taught the physical exercises, which I think this workout here, that actress, what is her name?

Students: (-----)

YB: Huh?

Student: (-----)

YB: Yeah, she is married to now that guy.

Student: (-----)

YB: She left her leftist husband you know.

What was that, you confirmed it?

(Students laugh)

YB: Jane Fonda workshop, workout is far better and commercial and you can go to a therapist, you can go to workshop, you can do anything you want, but you will never unite with your soul, and if you don't have your soul with you, you have nothing, you are just a bankrupt. People don't understand, people think... And last twenty five years I want to share something, when people say, "Oh, we have to look like others and not fear them and not be afraid about them." Something like somebody is telling me, 'I am a baboon and I am going to collect monkeys,' that's not a teacher, that's a idiot. People are afraid to look different. You are different, not a one human being has the thumb impression like the other. Why we should look like others? Hillary Clinton got a hairdo, everybody got a hairdo, but can you believe? You always want to look about to somebody, are you someday going to wakeup and look for yourself and look as you are? Is there any way you will be ready to be for yourself, not for any occasion or circumstances or environments? There is a basically very much wrong training in our daily life. So I was talking about efficiency, let's get rid of this.

We have a gut we call it, gut system, you know what gut is? This area here, between here about four, five inches, this is called guts, it's a very old word, nobody knew why, but since time immemorial they are saying, gut, 'this is a gut, deal with your guts, and gut, where are the guts?' It is actually the digestive process, which is called guts, but they have gut and they get gutter, you know and the whole thing word came from that, so you don't think guts as something, there is a injection coming from outside, it is right here. So, let us technically today do a exercise, just an exercise and you do the exercise, it'll do the work, okay?

Elbows, elbows, it is nothing but pull with elbows, pull your body with elbows, in very few minutes you will freak out, naturally there is a one advertisement where they sell you about fat and slow and if you press that area and there is a meat and squawk, it means you are overweight, but it is just this, this muscle you never exercise, this pull this, this, this, remember this area here, where you wear a belt, four, five inch wide belt, that area you pull with the elbow, not with the hand, hands are just elbow, that's pull, pull and breathe and pull and breathe, come on, come, on, you will freak out, I know, but it's okay, pull, pull, pull up, you don't want to do it, I don't want to do it either, but it has to be done. Doing it is impossible and it will make you nauseated, it will make you irritated, it's a worst exercise in the whole set, I know it. That's why I gave you today. Come on, come on and you do and when you just reach in few more minutes it will start giving you upset of everything you are. It means it is going to adjust your whole nonsense.

Once I was teaching this class in the sixties I remember and lot of people just started vomiting, and I never knew what to do about it.

(Students laugh)

And I said, "What did we go wrong, it was not expected."

And we found out all those who ate those beans and that kind of stuff, they all, the body rejected it out, right out, one, two, three out.

(Students laugh)

Come on, put a tape, hammer tape, give them the beats, so that they can do it to feel little excited about it. And do it with your that, that Buddhist thing. Come on, come on, come on, that drum, stroke drum, not the Pangada drum, this will do little... Come on, come on, you have to, you have to today really...

You may feel... No dear girl, it is just, it doesn't go like this, then it becomes a circle, it is just like, it's just like here, it's just pulling this, it's a very painful, hah, hah, yeah, pull, pull, just pull, just pull, it's a lower back and this area, kidney's area, no circle, just pull... Ha, ha, it's...

(Drum beat tape is played)

YB: (Over the tape) Louder, louder. If you do this exercise, I am telling you tomorrow you will be a different person.

Tomorrow is Saturday, here a great function is happening, Sikhs are coming all over this area, west-east coast to discuss here the image, so if anybody is interested to speak on that subject, let me know. By the way we happens to be the hosts.

Come on, come, on, pull it, pull it. Oh, once I gave this class to Japanese, I loved I still remember it they really did it wonderful.

I know you don't want to do it, I know you won't like to do it, still I want you to move this area. Heavy, heavy, heavy, pull in, pull in and push up.

If it hurts, you are lucky, if it doesn't you are not doing it right, it's impossible you do it right and it won't hurt.

Ladies, your menstruation, middle aged nonsense, what you PSM whatever you call it, there is a English name with that and men, your impotency and your this thing underneath, what they call it, it swells up, hah, prostate I know, I know all that and your descending colon and all that area, which you live with a mess, now face it, get hurt, it will save you a emergency, what they call it 'Intensive care,' remember, hey I went once for a Barium Enema, oh God, I just had some wind lock here and it was diagnosed that let us check it out by the (?) and the lady came for Barium Enema and she told me first hand, she said, "This is the worst medical procedure."

I said, "Don't worry, I am a good student, just go ahead."

And she said, "God, if people like you come, my life will be different."

I said, "Why?"

She said, "You solidly lied down and went through the whole hell of it."

So, I did it for forty days this exercise, I am asking you to do it, otherwise remember that great Barium Enema, you know what I am saying, pull, pull, pull, see how easy I can do, hands are just help, elbows are real, come on, come on, it's ugly, dirty, unhappy, doesn't matter. Squeeze that particular area and pull it upwards, that's all you have to do and tomorrow watch out, what comes out of you, it's a bundle of mucous which has been there for colonies for centuries, you don't understand, this is a one way, this is one of the Panchakarma. In yoga we do this, we take a bucket or two bucket of water and clean it out, by the process, but this is a kind of Panchakarma, which everybody can do and get rid of the mucous cone, they call them? Yeah, there is a... Sometime put a camera inside and see what is there, tapeworms, ringworms, those small little worms, I don't know what they call them, they are very little.

Student: (-----)

YB: Yeah, whatever. You feel lot of stuff inside, chalo, chalo, chalo, chalo, chalo, chalo, move, move. Don't... Be careful, chew gum go in and it is going to stick in. Power, use your power, sweat, sweat. I am not going to stop till I do not see you hot. You know we don't go nuts because we want to go nuts, we go nuts because we have no guts, it's very simple thing.

Arey this is a yoga class not a dance class, come, pull, squeeze that area.

(Drum beat tape stops)

YB: Okay, have you done enough, feel good?

Not yet, we are going to work on that area, put your hands like this please and now we are going to give you the beat, and you are going to pull the navel and leave it, pull the navel and leave it, don't apply Moolbandh, root lock, anus and second sexual area and navel pointNavel Point The sensitive area of the body near the umbilicus that accumulates and stores life force. It is the reserve energy from this area that initiates the flow of the Kundalini energy from the base of the spine. If the navel area is strong, your vital force and health are also strong. when is pulled together it is called root lock, Moolbandh, that's what you are going to do, hands like this please and he is going to give a beat, it will be like this. Lower, lower, lower, only lower.

(Drum beat tape is played)

YB (over the tape): You have to squeeze and let it go right there, not to keep it, anus, sexual area and navel. Come on, come on, pull, pull, pull.

Idea is, what is the idea getting piles and H-Formula and apply this and then you have a wet uterus, then you keep on padding... Do you understand, there are about, I was reading there are forty, forty-five diseases, if you do not know how to root lock, and you will get them one way or the other, so come on, all the three in one, and release. The anus and the sexual area and the navel pointNavel Point The sensitive area of the body near the umbilicus that accumulates and stores life force. It is the reserve energy from this area that initiates the flow of the Kundalini energy from the base of the spine. If the navel area is strong, your vital force and health are also strong. , all the three pull and let it go.

Arey, sometime enjoy yoga class, it is worthwhile, it is not a punishment.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, try folks, okay, okay, okay.

(Drum beat tape ends)

YB: Now, I am not asking you to do this, but I tell you, if you do not know how to apply a root lock, you will live one third of your life, one third. You may be American, you may be Indian, you may be German, you may be Japanese, doesn't make difference and if you cannot pull it and release it instantly your scene will never be together. And if you can apply root lock, you can raise your blood pressure at your command and if you know how to lower it, you can lower your blood pressure at your command, so the blood pressure doesn't become a problem, it is just the way you want to deal with it and sometime you need a higher blood pressure to face certain things and sometime you need a lower blood pressure to say certain things and if you know the root lock, you can know everything.

Okay, you are funny tonight, I thought I am...

Okay now, watch this, this is another root lock, right? See, there you always get arthritis, you know, now, he will give you the beat, come on, the whole thing, keep that, yeah.

(Drum beat tape is played)

YB: (Over the tape) Lock your neck, lock it, ENT, ear, nose and throat, eyes will never go in problem, I am teaching the fundamentals, shoulders must touch the ears, the balance must be kept, be strong. Come on Fateh, you can do it, yeah, we can do it, right? Let's do it.

You know the arthritis of the neck and the shoulder stiffness can lead you to miseries? It's very simple. When I had (?) two accidents, nothing helped, I learnt it.

Good for hiatal hernia too, this morning I did it. Watch at me convenient. These two muscles are undeveloped and your life start pain, trouble, headache, bah, bah, bah. Come on.

Break the pattern, okay relax, relax, relax.

(Drum beat tape stops)

I am very kind tonight, I mean to say, I am not trying to... Now if you do not know the root lock and you do not know the Jalandhar Bandh, this is, this is called throat lock, you better not live, that's how bad you can be and these two locks are responsible, Udhyan Bandh, which we will practice now, is the source of cleaning out all digestive problems, but this is how you do it. This is a circulatory.

Hey put Pangda, not this, this is too slow, fast note.

Student: (------)

YB: Huh?

Student: (-----)

YB: See, it is, it is a double system, it pulls, it pulls like this, you know it's circulatory, yeah, you dance with it.

Students: (-----)

YB: It goes up and down and up and down, it's circulatory, it will become circulatory, these two turn will make it circulatory.

Student: (-----)

YB: No, no, I am just using this area, spine, spleen, all comes as a help, watch, just try it, it will come.

Student: (--------)

YB: Yeah, it will start, yeah, it will start, automatically start rolling and tomorrow if those... This is how in India and other places they get rid of this ringworms and long tapes, you know they come about three yards long, have you seen them? Oh yeah, they are there for centuries, people don't know what is going on.

(Students laugh)

YB: They don't care what is inside. In India they don't ringworms these tapes, tupes, they don't make any medicine for it, even today medically they don't allow, they give you a huge four, five bulbs of garlic and shove it in your mouth and three, third, fourth day, these guys understand that it's not possible to live.

(Students laugh)

YB: And you want to test a friend, eat a garlic, go and say, "Hello," in two minutes you know how much he loves you or she loves you. So after third, fourth day, they start moving outwards and this guy starts eating for a week, garlic and garlic has a capacity, it scrapes up all the mucous and all extraordinary living friends in the colony inside and then one thing, dekho, look how religious they are. Whatever comes out they preserve it, they don't go anywhere they keep it, so that, they feel if that is mixed up in anything, that makes a disease to other things or bird may eat or animals may eat, and that can cause a problem, therefore they put it all in a one big earthen thing, then they put living lime in it, you know what a living lime? It is a very powerful stuff and then they put that and dig deep five, six feet and they put the whole thing in. That's how they clean themselves. God knows what you have inside, you may feel that you are eating spaghetti to yourself, some other spaghetti inside is eating the spaghetti, you can never know, you may have permanent residents inside (?)...

(Students laugh)

You know what I mean? So, it's easy to talk and brush up outside and look good, oh God, you can't feel good, you know what these guys can do to you, they can change your mood. There was a one student of mine, she was always negative, and I got tired of her, ya-ya-ya-ya... I said, 'God, what's gone wrong.' So I asked the doctor to test her out. 'Oh, my God.' The three came out, fourth won't, and they are always in pair and then finally they have to do the whole thing to bring that damn fourth thing out and it was just like a pencil thick reed, won't leave and it's a human. They enter into wrong organs also and give you lot of trouble.

So if you eat pear, you will never have a stone, and never have fibrosis, do you know that? This ordinary pear, which you don't eat, it cleans the body of fibrosis and stones and if you just go on a garlic washout, I won't say enema, just garlic and in a week you can totally track it out. And you do have a what is called confined gas, confined gas is a very, it's not subtle gas. The problem for that is all these hernia, hurnia business, God knows, because we don't have time, but if you take fennel, three parts fennel, one part cardamom, one part this peppermint, and make a tea, boil it for two hours, and early in the morning just take one cup, change your life. See how bright I look.

Yesterday I was miserable and last two days before that I was almost, they were telling me to, perhaps they would have done my open heart surgery, for the burning I had and first time I learnt what this heart burns are, they are the most miserable thing that I have ever faced. See how good it is now, it's good.

All right, now, play, play boy, play, dance, dance this area, dance with it.

(Bhangra tape is played)

YB: (Over the tape) Watch.

I dance it, up and down. This convulsion can take away all the disease in this area, from here Udhyan Bandh to here, you can do left and right, up and down, circulatory.

Come on useless, I will see if you do it right or wrong, you two, all Indian batch up here. Sit, sit, sit.

Student: (-----)

YB: Faster tape, they can't do that faster tape, (?) put that, sit, sit, chalo.

It's automatic.

BhaiBhai Brother. , if your friends have not taught, your mama, papa, never taught it, at least I am teaching you, have mercy. You can do this. It is very sexual.

All right, all right, we have done all the three.

(Tape stops)

YB: Now we will go the final, final.

Lock your hands please and sit like this at full pressure and pull the root lock, time we have only three minutes, root lock is the anus, the sexual organ area and the navel be squeezed now and you have only three minutes, we won't pull it more than that, doesn't matter what.

Side B

The best brain help is just right now what you are doing. I never desired to live, I thought I have done my job, now I see you know nothing, I say, 'oh my God!'

Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze all the three, one, two, three areas; anus, sexual organ and navel squeeze with the help of those locked hands.

You have one more minute to go.

Come on, forty five seconds.

Fifteen seconds, ten seconds, standby, five seconds, now inhale deep, squeeze, with a cannon fire exhale, inhale deep, squeeze, fire out, inhale deep, squeeze, let it go, relax.

The three areas, Mool Bandh, Udhyan Bandh, Jalandhar Bandh, if you do it in Hatha yoga, it will take you about seven to nine years to practice. In KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. Kundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity. The fourth Guru in the Sikh tradition, Guru Ram Das, was acknowledged as the greatest Raaj Yogi. (See Raaj Yogi.) He opened this long secret tradition to all.

Well, you have to do one more thing and then we will go. Pick up a partner of your choice. No, no, just pick up a partner, pick up, pick up, pick up, ready? And lock your hands. Fingers into fingers, I know your finger is cut, but it's all right, two fingers can serve purpose. You are all locked, right?

YB: And pull as much as you can, squeeze and pull, pull, pull, pull, do your full force, let it go. Inhale again and spare nothing, pull, squeeze and pull, let it go, inhale again, yeah, squeeze now and pull, relax.

I do not know what my program is going to be, I think we may end up teaching Monday and Tuesday class here. Circumstances are sometime contrary to what my desire is but we will confirm it. However the idea is those of you who live in this smog and this beautiful, wonderful, airless town, which has no PranaPraana , Prana The universal life force that gives motion. It is the breath in air. It is the subtle breath of the purusha as it vibrates with a psychophysical energy or presence. Praana regulates the modes and moods of the mind. , you need help, you need to do things, which normally anywhere else do not require normalcy. So if it becomes impossible to leave Monday and Tuesday then what's the use of wasting time here then I will just teach two evening classes and leave Wednesday, but it's subject to certain confirmation, I have to call tonight and we will take care of it.

Tomorrow we will need some volunteers, volunteer means gracious people who can come and because lot of food has to be brought and we have to work that out plus there has to be all chair here and all that stuff. Unfortunately we have been made host without our even consent, but that's how they wanted it and they think we are neutral and this is a time to talk and communicate, so we are, it will be very desirable if you tomorrow come and help, also come and participate in this seminar how to put an image, listen to these guys.

I manage, that's the image, I manage, that's image. What do you think image is? How you look like? Who you are? What you can do and what you can't do? No. Image means, I manage. How you manage moment to moment, event to event, time to time, space to space, longitude, latitude to latitude, regression, progression, aversion and all that stuff, how your intelligence helps you to do that is called image. It takes years to create a image; it takes a moment to ruin it.

So tomorrow they are going to discuss image, God knows whether they know the meaning or not, but I just, have just defined image and then if we stay, then we stay, if I will be gone then you will be notified. I think...

Student: (----)

YB: Oh first of all, we have to just make one call.

Student: (----)

YB: Yeah, we will know by Sunday positively, we are trying to leave Monday, at some morning flight to reach there four O'clock something, but there is a situation for which I will require... I may not be in a position to handle it in New Mexico, so I have to be here. If that process happens then naturally we'll leave Wednesday. Moreover I am just nowhere not very required person that I have to be somewhere, take it easy. We'll like to do certain things, so that before you start leaving towards New Mexico.

Somebody else has died, he ate rodent and they are blaming everybody else. Have you seen this America, how much, how much media can mess you up. Anything which comes on media, they can... They have found out a mystery disease, first it was a plague, now it's not a plague, now it is a mystery disease. But when Indians have not died with mystery disease, which year is that? It's a Navajo Nation and try to understand all this area, which doesn't look, they collect from it radio active elements, you know what I am referring to, I am not saying intentionally certain things, and those radio active material sometime get into food supply and water in the reservations, that's where it is. They call it plutonium, I call it pollutant, they call it this... I have different names for it, I have my own English and first one time it was making tons of money for these guys and secondly they have rented a space to the Federal Government for get this radio active material dumped, so that is showing up now, so, what is coming up is that the, all the cities and the areas, which will allow for money or facilities, this radio active area, will have a very unfair chance to survive. Something like that can break up, so that's what real problem is, but they don't want to say it.

One day I was walking through and there was a beautiful blue truck, beautiful, I mean, you love it, shining blue. You know what was written? 'Heavy quality radio active material, keep distance, human not to touch any part of the body of this vehicle,' that was written, both sides. I said Hallelujah. Then we tried to cross it and we found, the seat of the driver is totally isolated with thick, very thick, special kind of rubbering and padding, so he was sitting in a different chamber, rest we were all exposed. I mean, that damn thing bypassed my car, it did what it did, and thus, that's why now they are making up absolutely special roads on which the normal human roads, the vehicles will not travel. We can talk of heavens, but our matters on the Earth are no good.

So we will let you know by Monday, the Sunday I mean what has happened and please also keep a check and let your friends know, so if we can have two days a fun, it will be fun. My worry is that, I teach morning and evening class in New Mexico to the kids and I promised them that this time I am teaching them as I used to teach in sixties to make them real steel. Yeah we teach philosophical class, it's okay, so it depends, how we will solve it tonight and tomorrow morning. 'May The longtime Sunshine...'

Students sing: May The Longtime Sunshine Upon You...
