A new Sky Saxon recording has been released by Splash 2 Records :
I also started a page with some filosophical remarks about some concepts related with Yahowa : "As above, so below, New Order of the Ages",
the number 13 in a group, the oncept of the guru, and the principle of "I am God",
which I will later review better at a page about Salvador Dali's opera "Être Dieu".
(I lost the original study of it before because of a virus computer crash, so I might need some time to reconstruct this).
A short page aboutYa Ho Wa 13 you can find at
Thank you Johan.W. for borrowing the full collection box.
Isis & Electricity Aquarian : The Source (2008)*****
After a DVD which looks back on what happened during the short period with Father Yod/yahowa, I missed more images from that period, and only felt vaguely there must have been something unique, and that the period when Father said : now you must learn to be on your own and then shortly after left his body, for me it proved an underlying consciousness that went one step deeper into life itself, taking the circumstances further than whereto for instance Bagwan/Osho took his disciples to. This book revealed to me how deep all these experiences really went, (luckily this time with all the images needed), including the last experience, a period of disappointments, when they left their unique energy-increased bubble of time and space and were forced to integrate back into the world without any of the circumstances of protection. Also thanks to this book, I was able to go behind the psychology of Jim Baker, who especially since the times of change became a charismatic man who led all this, something which also gave me ideas how a person like Jesus might have worked more or less.
There is no doubt that Jim was a remarkable man, who was forced to take responsibility over his own family at a young age, and where he took over the role of a father, and performed this extremely seriously already. Everywhere he worked out a successful, strong male role: he became war hero, a world champion in judo wrestling, was a candidate for playing the role of Tarzan in Hollywood, and so on. When vegetarian food healed a personal health problem, from that point he learned and realized the importance of healthy food. He established the first vegetarian food restaurant in the US (in Hollywood), which became also the most profitable restaurant from those days, and knew many important guests (from Hollywood films and music). His early search for his earthly father led to disappointment, so he was forced to transform this quest for himself into a search for a spiritual father, which became Yogi Bhajan who was at that time in the US. It didn’t take long before he himself centred once more the necessary qualities and responsibilities of a Father over others who were in need for this occasion, in a spiritual and psychological way. It all began with additional lectures after the restaurant closed. Thoroughly he found ways to tap ideas more directly from a higher consciousness and started to improvise a few new ideas. More people gathered around the place and meetings and began to live at the restaurant. Soon he began to name the followers as his sons with their wives. Also a music band was part of the story, which for the rest of its phases and through different eyes of witnesses are incredible to read, and easy imaginable as if the reader participates with something of the experience which can be witnessed and imagined through all the visually interesting photographs. Still it can be considered a unique experience of their times.
- But let me also explain the realization I had about the connection, in psychology, with Jesus...
I have certain reasons to believe that Jesus’ mother, Maria, pure in heart or at least to a survivalist degree innocent of heart, she might have been a part of circumstances of sexual intercourse that must have been interpreted in her mind (inaccetible to society, but meaningful to her) as coming from an angel, whatever it also meant besides her own feelings and interpretations something else than this reality that makes it acceptable, in the mind of Jesus he himself must have come to the conclusion that his father wasn’t an earthly father, but came from heavenly sources, something which either could have made him into a delusional person, or in which he in his turn had to find some sort of logic for himself that worked.
In those days people searched for community-related spiritual answers and a new symbol of leadership as a strong enough alternative for a forced religion and state (Romans), an alternative to the emperor ‘king’ who had claimed he alone was the spokesman of God.
Within this social struggle and context it is logical that within the more normal tendency, of searching for spiritual enlightenment which led the personal quests, there were also these society-driven seeking alternatives to the Roman’s heavy unconquerable force. Because of this seeking for a forceful alternative, there was much more struggle than usual of who-had-a-final-truth for all those followers of people who found alternatives. This is one of the reasons which caused a distinction between the real figure of Jesus and what has been important and used by people over the years, the Christ.
The story of Christ might have captured a certain spiritual idea, the story of Jesus was abused that much so that the original idea that there were many people seeking for a lost truth were wiped out of history and only one person was to stand for a whole community, something which finally indeed replaced the emperor of Rome with a different image (a new leader for that community, the Pope) with as much falsification of truths compared to before (in Rome).
Claiming a new universal superiority at that stage, also Islam, from the point that there was a Pope, invented alternatives and a story of an enlightened ruler with his own superiority, which can not be questioned or conquered in his turn.
All these tendencies, which made a taboo of the seeking Yogi who was able to show deeper lying alternatives, as being a source of spiritual seeking for all those who finally had lost all connections.
This new stage on its own of religious power plants, luckily was already evolved from a ‘God’-like entity driven by blood and honour as a spokesman for a racial abuse of the world for their own good, but it was still driven away from all the former seekers for truths. Talking about Jesus again and all the others from his days, I am sure that they weren’t very different from people like Jim Baker, and were probably more like what some people might have considered as being 'the hippies of their times', using certain drugs and wine to come to a different state of Mind where they enjoyed friendship in a bubble of space and time with perfect circumstances where they could take the time to become better aware of other things, even though Apostlesy might not have been yet into the final answer of how to practice an optimal reintegration of a Person into the whole, through liberation of Conciousness apart from their own Personality struggles. The fact that the story in the Bible ends before a true Enlightment really happens makes it vulnerable for a different use. The dillusions of someone who claimed to have a connection with God in the hands of those who had Power in Churches is used as a power tool, not as a spiritual tool despite it's proclamations. In reality there always has been people searching for a better way of understanding, and acting, revealing some hidden qualities...
What struck me is that Jim Baker, even when forced by circumstances, made conscious decisions, and took each step of the becoming so seriously, so that also the fourth path was taken, the integration into real life, after having had the perfect easy circumstances related with childhood and the first educational steps under guidance of a Father.*
* When The Source had Father he had become first his own father, so that he could further care with committed responsible actions over others, while the members themselves had searched for the ideal situation how to continue for a while a spiritual growth under perfect circumstances, with a freedom that certain youngsters have while still living at home. The danger of such a opportunity is that at that stage the growing up children still don’t need to take responsibility in the world. But first they needed to have an opportunity to develop something, a Fatherly example, from which they could have a feeling of personal development. They did not find that condition very much before with their parents, nor with the state as their parental background.
Circumstances like this were often wished for in Society, leading to alternative communities with a spiritual quest and philosophy. In the worst case this idea could attract immature hippies or yuppies who want to escape any broadening responsibility or even confrontation with different people, characters or communities, but in the best case it develops a philosophy that finds ways at that stage to benefit the whole community, through some form of participating communicative growth process. In the worst case these conditions create a separate entity that does not transform and which changes into a dark energy full of restrictions and negative thoughts about the rest of the world, without any attempt to make further connections with it. Officially recognised bigger communities like the Amish or Orthodox Judaism are of course dealing with a form of limiting restriction that does not allow, within their community, the final change and integration into the whole, a final state which still is needed in perspective before being able to become a total human. Such societies hardly can cope with potential people that have new ideas on how to open their ways up to a brighter perspective. For the Amish you're free to leave the devoted society at around maturation age to find your own way.
The book comes also with snapshots of ideas from Yahowa, recipes from the restaurant, and a few of the meditation techniques.
The best recording on the CD is the unpublished live recording from 1973 at Beverly Hills Highschool, a track where Father Yod talks while waiting for the school bell to go off, while using this moment of tension perfectly to build the energy before the performance. Not every track is perfect or equally impressive (the Yahowa call for instance does not have these circumstances that makes it more meaningful than its form). And also the Beer recordings sounds like a regular jam. It also has a radio interview with Jim Baker about his ideas on vegetarianism. A strange oddity is an electric harp with spoken word track by Makushla Aquarian.
