The Military Opperated Biosphere

I am watching the school kids do their mini pilgrimages to the nature
spot, near the car park. I have wandered down through the woods to get
here.

 I light Incense, and it doesn't go down well with he two ladies who are
running their groups, they want to put them out.

( I introduce rosa to lots of my bristol friends: we are at a
gathering and she is really enjoying it. It is the osho leela place,
and when I introduce her to mike, mike says, "I've heard so much
about you and now I finally get to put a face to you". They make a
strong connection. Its really great to see her out and connecting to
people.)

Anyway, back to the incense.

I have this middle ground place which is actually a kids underground
play den, part of the school, but it rarely gets used so I use it
quite often for quiet reflective time.





I am listening to the two school teachers talking...

"I don't like that incense" one says to the other.

"No, we should put it out"


I meet pan, or at least a green man of some sort. It scares me, because it is also a mirror of my self. I wake up.

Im in a Library that my mum and dad are a part of.

People are giving talks in the library.

I am asked to give a talk. I prepare it reasonably well but the time I
am on and the location are not right, and not enough people can hear
what I'm saying from the busyness and I see people leave because they
are bored.


I'm with my sister Jude, and we have been given a new mission, if we
wish to accept it.

It is to go into the Ministry of War top secret place and do 'work'
for peace, what ever that may be.

We go up this really long flight of stairs and at the top we enter
this big passageway, like a boat passenger loading something out of a
computer game or star trek. Flat square walls, leading to a big boat
which has war machines on; fighter jets, helicopters, landing pads and
missiles. It also is surrounded by security and is covered in cameras.

Someone is coming up the stairs behind us. Is it a security guy!? We
don't know. I want to stay to complete the mission, but jude decides
to leave, as she doesn't want to get into trouble. I decide to do a
quick I ching reading. It says stay, and go 'down'.

I find a side passage which leads through into this giant dome where
there is a whole world of plants, and landscapes: a mini biosphere. It
is a place for doing scientific research into life functioning, and
species functioning. Despite being very beautiful, with all this rock
pools, ponds, lakes, rivers, woods, mini mountains and even mini seas,
it is a little soulless. It is all created in the name of power:
research into new substances, elements, and molecules which can be
used to control, manipulate, destroy, and harm life. Because so much
life has already been destroyed on earth, they would not get away with
just experimenting on out in the open because people would find out
and it would cause a big fuss. So this was created in secret.

I am careful as I explore this landscape that I don't let any of the
scientists in suits see me. One guy sees me but I act casual and he
seems to ignore me.
I hear a voice in the distance giving a lecture to a group of people.
It is one of the professor scientists of the project and he is giving
a talk to this bunch of keen students.

I over hear him saying, ".... But the main mission of the project is
to eliminate imagination and eliminate dream."

I'm at CI jam again.

Walk through field,


Spin on my feet in circles. Watch the horizons of mountains turn in my
vision. little chickens in the field, - a mother and two chicks. The
straw has been harvested and giant stooks have been made. I can see
big factories and grain processors in the distance, the sure signs of
industrial agriculture. a giant chicken 6 foot tall comes up to our
group and starts jumping up and down in excitement for seeing us. It is
wonderful.

The Funny Metal Worker

The rebel forces are making siege on one of the main corporate
offices. They are doing it rather badly, and so it is easy for the
corporation to protect themselves. I climb up high on the building to
get a view on what is going on.

Amidst the crowds I meet a girl who says I need to follow her. She
leads me down these stairs and into some underground workshops. There
we meet a load of young people who are crafting things for the
rebellion. I get to work on a job application on a computer and sing
to some music that I have put on, thinking myself to be on my own. The
music is very gentle and peaceful and I get quite lost in it, and
forget for a while.

When I come to finishing the application, two people have been sat
behind listening to me sing. I stop and chat to them. They tell me
about a metal working course in Doncaster. I watch the video for the
course and there's  this metal worker guy who is quite funny on it. He
is demonstrating all the different ways of peeing into a bucket.

(As a metal craft worker you save lots of time if you have a bucket
under the desk for peeing into.)

He flips and twists his penis into different positions and angles and
pees into the bucket in all manner of different ways. He even pretends
to be someone else by angling the camera in the right way, so that it
looks like he is holding someone else's penis.  Other people in the
video find him very funny.

Kidnapped

A group of my friends had been persuaded by this guy to take a lift
with him in his van. There was a cage like an animal box, that you
might use take large animals to the vet, in the back of the van.

Some how, this guy drives my friends to paris and in the process they
all get trapped in the animal cage. I turn up on my bike (I had
decided to cycle instead!) And on opening the back of the van, notice
my friends all locked away in the cage, and they are shaking the cage
trying to get it open.

It is distressing seeing them like this. Before I think, I am inside
the van trying to open the cage. The back door of the van closes on
me, and now I am trapped in the van too. This driver is trying to trap
us all and kidnap us.

kissing

I meet this girl. It is dark. We have a hug, and go to kiss on the
cheek but our lips touch, and it feels so good that we touch lips
again and can't bring ourselves to pull away. We keep kissing and
kissing. Our kissing becomes rhythmical.

The Clean Pigs of the Sea

I'm by the sea

Noah is now paddling through the sea, pushing or pulling along a
little toy boat.

We are out off a load of islands.

I find crabs and seaweed and two salmon, which I decide to call "clean
pigs of the sea"

My mum is upset and worried. Its a whole mix of reasons. There's this
feeling of not experiencing the things one wants to experience in this
life.

Sculpture Videos.

I meet this guy who works for this big company. It has high security. He
sneaks us in so that we can see what goes on. Its a big manufacturing
company. Every area has swipe cards to get you though to the next bit.


Somewhere along the way I meet a sculpture guy.

  I have to get there by cycling down a vertical slope into water, its in the park,
  Really difficult to just let go into it. It is a risk if you're
tense, but if you relax it is safer.

He has son. I meet his son and he tells me to carry on through the
underwater room into the next room. I'm surprised to find a studio.
There are interesting little sculptures dotted around. They are
intricate and pattern based and textural. They are like mini Peter Randel Page sculptures. The Spiral is a key theme.

Someone asks me where I get my stone from. I tell them a quarry. They
suggest that I make a video of the whole process. I think this is a
brilliant idea.

I start planning out my video, how it will start in the peak district,
how I will talk about the process like a story, how the human machines
are eating into the earth with saws and explosives, and how gradually
a bit of stone comes to me and how I carve letters on it with hard
chisels.

I wake up from this dream into another one. I'm with this lady friend.
We are on a family holiday. She stirs me and says its soon time to
leave. I get up, wander about and then go back to bed to write down my
dream.

The Gourd Lady.

I'm back at the mbira gathering playing mbira next to chartwell. He is
showing me a new song. He is playing on a really big mbira, the keys
are really long, especially the base ones.

I have to get up and dance, and stretch, my body needs it.

There is a lady at the gathering who has cucumbers and melons and
gourds as a part of her skirt, its symbolic of mother earth giving
birth to fruit.
