I grew up in a house filled with Classical music, and Jazz. Here's a little music video I made for the Ding Dong Show, that combines these two loves. Just click on the picture!
Jazz, Classical Music, 60s Acid Rock, Blues, and New Age
I really do enjoy all forms of music, and I would never listen to just one kind all of the time.
Stan Getz & John Coltrane are my favorite Jazz musicians, but I also love the Big Band sound, Latin Jazz, and anything straight ahead;)
Of Classical Music composers, it seems that I have always loved the Russians best.
As a Hippie from San Francisco, I got to know Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, the Grateful Dead, and Carlos Santana. I will always love these people.
Movies
As a lifelong film buff with around 4000 movies in my collection, this list could easily become impossibly long. My collection contains what I consider to be the best movies made since we began making movies. So I have many Silents, old Black & White films, and great movies up to current times.
Now should I list ALL of my favorite movies (besides Forbidden Planet, Casablanca, Spartacus, Elmer Gantry, A Night at the Opera, Seven Chances, The Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, A Connecticutt Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Roshoman, The Man Who Would Be King, the Harry Potter series & LOTR), or do you get the idea? hehehe
I've mentioned elsewhere that I love Science Fiction & Fantasy. In the early 1990s I began videotaping my favorite programs, editing out the commercials, and then began creating my permanent collection. At the moment the collection is approaching some 800 six hour videotapes, and contains practically every episode of practically every Science Fiction/Fantasy show that has ever aired.
It's something that I usually work on while I'm also busy in the online world. I love to multi-task, and figure that if you are going to be fanatical about something, it's good if it is harmless. hehehe
Books
I like all kinds of books, but have always held a special love for Science Fiction & Fantasy. Some of my favorite authors are Anne McCaffrey, CJ Cherryh, Isaac Asimov, Robert A Heinlein, Philip Jose Famer, Roger Zelazny, HG Wells, Jules Verne, Alan Dean Foster, Andre Norton, Fred Saberhagen, Larry Niven, Frederik Pohl, Timothy Zahn, Poul Anderson, Orson Scott Card, L Frank Baum, JRR Tolkien, & JK Rowling.
I also love Westerns, especially Louis L'Amour, Zane Grey, and Max Brand
Heroes
I think it is more important to find the Hero within yourself, than to look up to another person. In all of the history of the world, there has only been one Hero, and he has 1000 Faces...
Some people I do hold in great regard are Lao Tse, King Wen & Prince Chi, Quan Yin, Lord Khrisna, Lord Buddha, Avolokitesvara, Green Tara, Lady Isis, & her son Horus, Thoth the Atlantean, Freyr, Jesus the Christ, Manly P Hall, & Gandhi.
When you find the Hero within yourself, you will be able to see the Hero within other people. Let us all be brave, and face the world with Courage!

JamesClairLewis.com New week in the Gaian Dragon I Ching Calendar : Meditation Posted at 6:18 PM Nov 26 view more
I began studying Eastern Mysticism, and practicing Western Metaphysics when I was 16 in 1967. Since I lived in Santa Clara at the time, it was easy for me to get up to San Francisco, and so I was there for the Summer of Love. I began studying the I Ching in 1968, discovering the practical side of Taoist Philosophy. In 1970 I went to college in Boston, where I met Karmu, the Holy One. He was a Healer, and a Rootman, and he taught me Massage, and how to love people, which is perhaps the most important thing anybody can know. In 1973 I began studying the Hwa Yu Tai Chi Kung Fu under GrandMaster John Chung Li, a practice that seems to have made me stronger & more agile as the years go by. After a lifetime of study and practice, I am putting up my accumulated knowledge and experience on my website, the Dragon's Den. You'll also find other things of interest there... such as my Moving Mandalas. Enjoy!
MySpace put Captchas on my account against my wishes. The darned things are everywhere, and they add so much time to replying to Comments, that I've pretty much stopped making Comments.... something that I loved to do.
Who I'd like to meet:
I would like you to meet the Divine within yourself.
I would like you to get to know the Earth. It is a sentient being. We get to live here, only because She allows it. If we continue to exploit and destroy the resources of this planet, she just might change her mind about us being here...
Do you really want that?
Listen to the whisperings of the Trees. Pay attention to the Song of Life arising from the All.
The True Gospel will never be found within the pages of any book, but it can readily be seen within the Hearts of all who love the Divine.
We are not saved by seeking God. Let go, and let yourself be found by All that loves you!
You deserve nothing less.
Be the Blessing that all most desire in their inmost Hearts.
Today you took a chance, Today is the day I see you as a hero, Today you took just a moment to make a change, Today you have made a difference in your life and mine! Today, I Thank You for not turning a blind eye, Instead today, you opened yourself wide, Seeing the senseless suffering & cruelty which is taking place. Today NATURES top predators Thank You for stepping beyond. Thanks for the add-
Man catches new born shark with placenta still attached, no attack from mum!
This is the time of year that we need to stop what we are doing and help those that are
left alone for the Holidays, There are many suicides this time of year because
people are lonely, this is not right and we all know this {makes ya fell kinda
shitty huh?}, so I would like for you all to concentrate on someone you know
will be alone and do something about it! Its not hard to help someone in need,
you do it because you would want someone to do it for you! I also want to say
if someone does you a good deed try and do as many as you can so it starts a
ripple effect! I smile when I meet a cashier even if he/she is not happy and
not smiling, when you speak with them on a human level then it speaks volumes
about who you are and what your’re made of! I think maybe I should not babble
on but just remember we all are not really much different than each other, we laugh,
sing, love, dance, & share just like we are supposed to. We need to connect with each other a lot more
and show what we are made of!!!!!!!!!!
♥ deep within heart of a mountain
drumming thundered trough its veins
a chanting had started in the city of crystals
all beings had gathered to participate
the very walls where humming
every atom of air joined in a dance
pulsating everywhere and all around
merged completely to one pulse

On September 14, 2007, Wisconsin activst Amy Burns sent out a circular urging her readers to go to the Baltimore Sun to join in what is destined to be one of its hottest forums ever, a war of minds over the "sport" of hunting, with emphasis on bow-hunting. While her readers began pondering, comments from the pro-hunting side came in hard and fast. "America's most-hated Anti" Anthony Marr jumped in head first, and so did leading anti-huntresses Tierra and Mamasita. Amazingly, the battle is still raging as we speak, more than two years later in November 23, 2009! The total number of comments so far has exceeded 93,000, and growing. This is a phenomenon, and destined to be a classic, not to be missed if you care about animals at all.
is both conscious and loving at the same time. When you experience universal love you understand the action of love. A loving action is a gentle action when gentleness is needed, a firm action when firmness is needed, a compassionate action when compassion is needed, yielding when yielding is needed. Whatever is needed is present — and in the correct balance — depending on the situation. Universal love is an expression of the harmony of the totality. Everything is in harmony with everything else. Nothing is excluded. Your will is in harmony with your compassion. Your compassion is in harmony with your joy. Your joy is in harmony with your anger. Your anger is in harmony with your body. Your body is in harmony with your ego. Your ego is in harmony with other people. There is no conflict anywhere. Everything fits and functions as a togetherness, as a oneness. That oneness is you." ~A.H. Almaas

Calcutta sounds like a fable in a song, but in reality, it is where John, my colleague and successor, was murdered. He was on the job for only three days when he got his throat slashed. As an undercover investigator targeting the illegal wildlife trade, especially in tiger parts, his real name was unknown, even to me, nor mine to him. We were just John and James to each other. All I know is that he was Chinese American, while his predecessor James - real name Anthony Marr - is Chinese Canadian, and how sincere he was in helping to save the Bengal tiger from being poached out of existence, while its habitat continues to dwindle due to human pressure...
Never believe anyone who says we cannot change. Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. We are all artists, our mind is the arena of creation and vision is what we are constantly creating. What is your vision of yourself today – patient, relaxed, positive or tense, tight and negative? What do you prefer? So be creative – what does patience look like, feel like, what are you doing that is different when you are patient and you are expressing your power to …wait? Always start with vision not action. See it and you will be it. Be it and you will do it. We don’t ‘get a life’ as some would cynically tell us – we create our life.
