The Bhakti Yogi would not argue that our present version of human civilisation is progressing. The question, though, is “in which direction?” The recent tragic shooting of dozens of innocent people at two Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, by a white supremacist graphically illustrates the inevitable result of the present attempt at human progress. Encouraging humanity with the Sanskrit phrase tamasi ma jyotir gama - “Don’t stay in the darkness, come to the light” - Yoga wisdom guides the fortunate toward real progress. What is the darkness? A material conception of the human being. When we think “I am my body - I am my race/gender/age/ethnicity/nationality/profession/sexuality“ etc, we are in darkness about our true identity, Bhakti luminaries affirm. On this shadowy basis, others, with different bodies to ours, are seen as separate from us, as competitors for scarce resources, and as objects of envy when they have more than we do. Naturally inequality, exploitation and conflict follow. “Coming to the light” is explained in the Bhagavad Gita, “One who is actually situated on the spiritual platform is self satisfied and always joyful. Such an enlightened person has no hankering or lamentation and thus sees and treats all creatures equally as spiritual beings.” Fortunately, real progress - bridging the gap between darkness and light - can be easily achieved by regular meditation on the non-material sound of the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. This spiritual technology simultaneously cleanses the consciousness of all false identifications and reawakens our non-material identity as parts of the Complete Whole.
I was taking photos of the Shepard Fairey Obama posters on Mateo and Jesse when this guy came up and asked if he could "get in the middle." We talked politics. He's hoping for an Obama/Clinton ticket. He's a little concerned about racism. He said he was 11 months sober. Past tense. Now he's back on the street downtown.

Took a trip down to the harbour in my town. Always a cool spot! Currently undergoing a lot of work so not as accesible as normally.
Process photo of the S.P.H.I.N.X. logo being stenciled on the bag - I hand cut the stencil on parchment paper (since I didn't have any freezer paper), making some alterations to the design to allow it to be stenciled in one piece. Used first a watered-down yellow fabric paint, dabbed on, as a sort of flashing...let dry, then a slightly offset coat of a watered-down orange to get a vintage effect.
I planted these by burying the guts of some store-bought tomatoes. I can't believe they actually grew, and into such sweet-tasting little tomatoes! (That's my daughter Dawn checking them out.)
