Acharya Peter Wilberg's Bulletin

To Rod Lloyd: Thanks for appreciating what I wrote. It's great to find people out there who are interested in this stuff. You mentioned the U.S.'s image in other countries, so here's a few of my images of Australia: Lew Hoad, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, Evonne Goolagong; Gulpilil and Nanjiwarra; the extinct Tasmanian Tiger (last living specimen photographed in 1933) and the Tasmanian Devil; the Death Adder and the Tiger Snake (world's most poisonous snake), the Amethystine Python, one of the world's top 4 constrictors; and of course, Foster's lager. Sllght preference for Steinlager (of New Zealand) at least on tap, but Foster's is pretty good too.

About that Aham: Muller-Ortega talks about it a lot in Triadic Heart of Shiva; its composition, meaning of a, ha, and m, anuttara, visarga etc. but he writes from the "outside." It's A.G.'s quotes that suggest an "inside" and therefore for me trigger amazement. The subject /discussion of "Aham" seems to rachet up in intensity even more in light of Dyczkowski's announcement of Utpaladeva's inauguration of the "Supreme Egoity" and then Acharya's zeroing in on the precise meaning of "I-consciousness." Have you read his paper on om namah shivaya? Best breakdown of a mantra I've seen, and fascinating discussion of mantra in general.

I'm now heading up for a one-day meditation retreat in a cheap motel in Duluth, Minnesota, on the shore of Lake Superior, affectionately known as The Big Lake They Call Gitchigumee. I'll have 2 pictures with me, one of Kali and one of Bhairava, which were given to me by Acharya on a visit to England in February of this year. I hope to have something more to say whenever David Lawrence's new book Teachings of The Odd-Eyed One arrives.
