Interests

Music
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.

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
Television
Here I am
performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live

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, & Ghandi. 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!

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 on the Summer Solstice, so I was there for the first day of 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!

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.

This is the Way that it is done...

Enlightenment reflects out into the Universe through behavior. People on The Path care as much for the well being of all living things, as they care about themselves. And they demonstrate this by doing as much to end suffering in the world, as they do to take care of themselves.

It is that simple.

Peace!

James
