On The Way To Iceland
    #5758191 - 06/16/06 05:37 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I am currently enroute from my secret enclave in the heart of the Bible Belt to study Icelander in his home range. I intend to evaluate his way of life and understand his feeding habits...which I understand can be minimal. I feel that I can succesfully invoke feelings of personal importance in this particular type of homosapien.

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Hey travler, we are getting ready for your arrival. I have killed the fatted calf and I ordered a 55 gal drum of rib sauce. Veritas will whip up some of her special potato salad which will put some meat on your skinny bones.

I think it is more fitting and proper to salute, in this situation.

In fact, you are sort of saying that you are going to dissolve his substance into your substance... and that, quite frankly, just sounds a little bit weird. :wtf:

This is, in fact, an altogether odd situation. When I said that I thought that I would like to visit I had neither the time nor resources to do so, but I set my mind on it anyway and determined that I would make such a journey....but not knowing where the money would come from. As I focused on this goal the resources suddenly appeared as if from no where. I was approached by people who I did not know personally to take a very lucrative information technology job...better than any I have ever had. I was provided with much really expensive mobile tech gear that I am currently using in a cabin in east Kansas, and told that if I took the job that they would gladly let me take off for 2 or 3 weeks to make the trip. I focused my awareness on the goal and everything flowed from there as if by magic. One truly controls ones reality through the manipulation of how they apply their attention. The goal provided the motivation to focus my intent. BUT the consequences of my intent procured a career level job as well as the resources for this trip. Change yourself...reality will follow.

Will do Markos.

On the way to the forum...

I never thought of myself as any thing: but,

we got too many warriors and not enough chiefs

you can be the war chief too...

Who knows what you have set in motion? What change may occur when you step into those Redwood forests? Once I set foot in them myself I knew I didn't want to be far from them as long as I stayed in North America. I always feel like I am at the roots of the world when there. Especially with the primal Pacific ocean close enough to smell. What an awesome place for a shamanic voyage. The plant powers seem to be magnified there. :mushroom2:

I am halfway to my destination. Today I crossed the wastelands, and now I stand at the foot of the sacred mountains. Tomorrow I will stay and invoke the Gods of those mountains. Then I shall continue to Iceland.

I climbed to the top of the "Sacred Mountains" today to invoke the Gods of the Mountain and recieved their blessing to pass over them. So, tomorrow I continue my journey. I do not think that I will need a bullhorn, the Gods of the Mountain will send thunder before me. I attached an image that I made from the top (well really at only 12000 feet) of the "Sacred Mountains".

"Yes, perhaps in iceland you have to be even aware while asleep"

Of course I am aware while asleep...why waste all that time?

I love mountain country. Good place to get lost. I like the high desert canyons and mountains especially now. Fortunately they are many here. I live on the ridge between. On one side the green forests leading to the Pacific Ocean. On the other the High deserts leading to sagebrush and rattlesnakes. I love it here. If only we could get rid of the Americans; this could be a great country.

"My wife and children agree, they are registered american indians"

I think that these type of people prefer "Native Americans"...at least most so called "indians" do...as they are not from India. I have known many who considered "Indian" a racist term.

That was a fire that burned the top of my personal mountain. That fire crested at night and I watched the trees go up while tripping on shrooms and watching from my upper deck with a spotting scope.

I can't wait to see it myself. We passed over a huge desert in Wyoming today...I felt a great spiritual affinity with the landscape...more so than with the mountains. Around 5 PM we passed over the The Great Salt Desert. Right now I am on the salt flats pirating a faint wireless signal from a business somewhere near by...not exactly stone age, but I am at the edge of a real and great wilderness I can tell. Iceland comes tomorrow! This journey has really opened my eyes to the diversity of this country...for instance the salt flats seem totally foreign...no human has ever settled there I suspect...maybe some have passed through... The place does not seem devoid of spirit, but that spirit is alien in every way.

Note: I just discovered that there used to be an Indian reservation at the edge of the salt flats...Skull Valley Indian Reservation was built on an area conaminated by US Government nerve toxins...they have all but died out now...sort of ominous.

There is a strong resemblance with the salt flats and the palaya at Burning Man. Prefectly flat and without plant or bug. Mountains in the distance.

Veritas and I will see you in a few hours.

Well, I arrived in Iceland safe and sound after navigating a tremendous desert...300 miles of absolute solitude. I never really understood what "wilderness" meant until I was left to navigate one by myself with no backup or assurances. My journey ended (or started) at the Iceman's door just a few hours ago.

The High Desert (not true desert) feels like home to me. I have wandered in it often once I discovered it. It feeds my soul like no other place. Maybe because of the lack of humans. This area is the least populated area of the mainland U.S. Most of the towns are tiny, with populations under 10 people. In my corner of it the Paiute Indians roamed in small family sized groups and met up as a full tribe only once or twice a year to marry and socialize. There just wasn't enough food to stay together.

There are many deep canyons with streams and even trout. Grass and flowers along the banks and wildlife is abundant. It's truely beautiful once you find the heart. :mushroom2:

I have no doubt of that, but on first contact it is somewhat intimidating. I encountered true wilderness while in the Army, but there was so many helicopters, planes, and vehicles that it was rather safe and secure. I laugh to think that I ever thought that the forests we have in Kentucky were any sort of wilderness....I mean if you get lost just walk one direction for an hour and you will hit some sort of road. The Nevada desert is not so easy....you are hundreds of miles from anywhere. I feel that if I had the time to aquaint myself with it that I would come to love it as well, but at the first it is just awe inspiringly large and desolate. The silence and desolation are, however, quite peaceful. We stopped in the middle of it and ate lunch and I was really at peace. The thought of having an emergency out there is a bit overwhelming, though. I must say that I never should have come out here...I am starting to not want to go back after seeing the American west in it's glory.

what's considered high desert? i know you used to live in seattle. on a few occasions i drove from seattle on 90E through the Cascades over to like Vantage, WA. there was some beautiful desert-like terrain, a big gorge around the Columbia river. some really wild sculptures of ponies sitting off on a hill. ever been there?

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Well I have been in Iceland for three days and I am impressed. Icelander has kept me busy running over hills and forests, and roaming ocean shores until I am run ragged. Tomorrow we go to the top of his mountain to find wisdom. After thorough consideration I determined that the Iceman and Veritas are indeed genuine. They do not misrepresent themselves in any way here...they are the real deal....and then some. My respect goes out to them.

Hue and his and his family left this morning. I must admit I wished they had had a month here. I knew inside myself that it was going to be good. I have been convinced by the consistant quality of Hue's posting that we had chosen a similar path and that connection would have a fruition when we met. I really had no doubts. I feel like Hue's family is my family and the connection is a path with heart. I don't often feel this way but  in this case it is my true feeling. Our last day together left no doubt. We had a powerful voyage up on the mountain and for awhile we were awake and dreaming together.

Have a fine return trip Hue and wife and daughter. I hope sometime soon enough  I can meet the rest of your family. Veritas sends unconditional love with you as do I. Well met brother. :heart: :mushroom2:

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

Theres danger on the edge of town
Ride the kings highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...hes old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and well do the rest

The blue bus is callin us
The blue bus is callin us
Driver, where you taken us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...i want to...fuck you

Cmon baby, take a chance with us
Cmon baby, take a chance with us
Cmon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin a blue rock
Cmon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But youll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

It's called "getting into character".  :evil:

Pop stars nowadays are rather boring.  Can you imagine Britney Spears or J Lo dropping a bunch of 'cid and screaming "Kill the Father, Fuck the Mother" all day?

I want to relate an experience with deep implications for me. I spent some time with Icelander and Veritas in the flesh this week as many here know. They were quite generous hosts and for the first three days and they tirelessly guided my wife, daughter, and self around forests, oceans, and mountains to see the wonders that their home state offers as well as welcoming us into their home. In their presence I became almost jealous. I have been on my spiritual path for several years, but I found them in advance of myself in several ways. They were open, honest, and dynamic in their behavior. Both used their speech immpeccably. As a male I was instantly impressed with Icelander. He is over a decade in advance of myself in age yet I feel old in his presence. He was so consistantly, active, young, and alive seeming that I was astonished. He has the most outlandish sense of humor and frequently mixes wisdom into his jokes. I am quite backward and closed minded by comparison.

On Friday Icelander took me up onto a mountain that he said had been vision quest grounds for Native American warriors in ancient times. We sat at a some altitude under the shade of some small oaks. We journeyed. I have been jaded by decades of journeying, so he wisely took me out of my comfort zone with a medicine that I had never experienced. Then he proceeded to speak his mind. He told me he had dreamed me there...I can believe it because making a 2500 mile journey by car is something I have never before dared to do. He said that he had picked that spot for me long before my plans to visit had been proposed...I do not know if he was joking or not but I had no trouble accepting it. For it to be a lie, after observing this man's behavior, is not likely. I do not know that he is aware of it but he spoke of several deep seated issues with me that I have that he had no way of knowing, and he spoke with authority on these issues. I was overwhelmed. I was so overwhelmed that at conversation over dinner that evening I could make but poor conversation and I frequently retreated into my self importance. I am afraid that Friday evening that I was too stunned to be good company.

On Saturday I was on the way home and a great uneasiness came over me. The experience of the following day washed over me and integration began. I realized how cold and stiff I am in my everyday life. I could feel all of the walls that I have built around myself that I was never aware of before. Many self imposed limitations were made plain. I am cold, I am self destructive, I am inflexible, and I am closed in many needless ways. I feel that a seed of change has been planted in many areas of my life...almost as if I had no choice. In a way I do not. Once one finds a better way based on new information that is clear and accurate then change is inevitable. I have had a similar experience of inevitable change before based upon a spiritual experience, but that has been several years past. This experience left me awakened all over again.

It was a long way there, and it is a long way back as I now cross the vast and lonely desert, and I have much to think about and much to do, but it was worthwhile for it seems I have gained a brother and hopefully a sister if Veritas will have it.

Ice and Veritas...thanks...it was more than fun...it was transcendental.

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda
