Wherever I strike something, water begins to flow.
I can do this in people.
It’s one of the gifts I guess you could say or curses.
I am not a special person, I am a person who knows their power.
In a sleeping world that may seem to be special to ones who don’t know this.
But that’s the trick.
Having power and being power, but not needing power.
I have struck Dan.
Look at how he reacted?!
Wow!
I know I have made ripples here.
I struck Ack.
I struck some friends and family.
I struck a few strangers.
Others struck me.
Taoism was a key find for me.
A puzzle piece.
It showed me how to find my center amid a raging storm.
If I leave that center, the storm rages.
I can relate to Dan needing a calm get away.
It can only be found within oneself one ultimately learns.
You take it with you anywhere you go, but you never leave it or go anywhere really.
One must face the storm at times and go into it by letting it rage.
I stopped striking things.
I hide this power.
Instead of striking out, I now embrace.
I saw where it could lead, one might say I saw visions of the present and past and future mixed.
One was where I was a dragon breathing rainbow fire against ancient doors.
Another was as one of the 144,000 in a white robe, which I recorded an account of about 6 years ago living an aimless life before I drank the brown brew.
During the white robe vision it was odd how much love I felt at the moment, as if the clouds parted in my mind and I felt what it was to know my place.
I had not been seeking answers praying or in the Bible.
Something broke out of me at a weak moment when the veil was thin.
A psychotic break?
I just didn’t care anymore about my life or my bullshit.
I guess I gave up and begged for Jesus to take the wheel.
But when I looked over, Jesus wasn’t driving, Cheech from cheech and Chong was and he handed me a Joint and just said, here, take this, relax little one.
I’m going to tell you what’s happening.
You are becoming enlightened.
What is inside of you is pouring forth, it will gush at the beginning, but you can collect it up, the gush will become a stream.
But it will never stop he said.
I just tapped the stream always running within everything.
Ok, I croaked.
He told me I would bring healing to myself first and then it would spread.
Like a fungus.
Yah, it was some far out shit.
Hey, having healing visions can’t be the worst thing to have.
It could have been hell with monsters tearing me apart...that came later.
You might call what I describe a wake up call.
You might say I heard a trumpet.
A clarion call.
My life came to end and then it began again with some kind of power I can’t contain.
I could only learn to let it flow using time.
I just knew it was time to do what I could for myself and that would be helping all of it.
Then I drank some brown goo and ultimately emailed Jack.
Funny.
There was a feeling through all of it.
You can take it, you can stand in the storm and that will be enough.
Stand in the storm.
I was only shown my tools and abilities.
I know there are no missions.
So you can’t fool me, because I’m not fooling myself.
This is what it is to be this here now.
That’s all and that’s enough.
From the weird side below...gonna read lesbo cult next.
Good times.
THE LONG AWAITED SEQUEL TO LESBO CULT! (It's about Project MKULTRA, the same as "Dorian at the Grove" - except the new one is about MKULTRA and the creation of AIDS.) --- https://www.amazon.com/DORIAN-GRAY-Christofer-M-Nigro/dp/1732365709 - here's my story "Dorian at the Grove" in the new book. I LOVE the Bohemian Grove!
DORIAN AT THE GROVE or FINDING DOuRIAN WITHIN
by

Part One: Dorian Melts
This is the story of Dorian at the Bohemian Grove but it isn't. I just made it up, but I had a good reason. In 1959, I started in the seventh grade at Swamp School in Kenockee Township (in rural Michigan) so it must have been around then that I found "The Picture of Dorian Gray" in Daddy's books. Mama said I had to make Daddy like me more, and I had just spent four years in a Catholic school trying to be more like the real Brennans who had adopted him in 1906, and it hadn't worked. This wouldn't either but I didn't know that then. So I found the chest of books. They had been his college textbooks in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan, in the 1920s, and the others that he and his classmates had read in that bygone enlightened era...Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" (understood SOME; after all I'm in Mensa), Will Durant's "Story of Philosophy" (I didn't read much past the chapters on Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle), Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary"), and Oscar Wilde's " The Picture of Dorian". But Daddy wasn't going to like me all the time no matter how well I could read his old books. Mama and Daddy were married in 1938 and I was born in 1948. So maybe Daddy wasn't Daddy but I didn't know that then, and didn't know that his "hypnosis lessons" would someday lead to something really, really bad.
But it was 1959, and I was still learning how to pick up girls and "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was helping. In a future, grown-up world, adults would insist that every portrayal of Dorian Gray would reflect Oscar Wilde's own gay lifestyle. But any adolescent brave enough to read it knew it was a book about a guy that could REALLY pick up girls. So I learned, and more bad things happened, and then I saw Dorian melt. This was how all of THAT happened. In the summer of 1959, Daddy got involved with an Osteopathic physician in Michigan who was also a professional hypnotist and a self-described official of the CIA's Project MK ULTRA. He wanted children to experiment on, and later on, he wanted to kill President Kennedy and Daddy said he could help with both those things. And so could I. The CIA could have found no better place to conduct their Project MK ULTRA experiment than Kenockee Township, Michigan. It was a back woods rural area; many were barely semi-literate, preferring the back-breaking labor of bare-subsistence farming to the education that might have given them equality with the middle class. The first girl must have been some country cousin to Eddie Rickenbacker. Her name was Kathy and I wrote a poem about her in 1953. Her brother Jerry showed me who Batman was that same year. In 1959, or 60, or 61, sometime after I started back attending the one-room school, my parents took her to Project MK ULTRA to be drugged and raped and groomed for killing. She didn't work out but I did. WAS she truly related to the famous general? What would it matter? Though we were of the blood, that would not assuage them, would not spare us, would not save us; we were the sacrificial lambs, the price our parents paid for services, they would force their bodies and their drugs and their murders upon us. There was no escape, not through guile or courage or regality -- we were their living weapons and there was no escape. Soon John Kennedy would die, but in 1961, I watched Dorian Gray melt. Part Two: The funny boy and Donny and FAMOUS MONSTERS
Some time before I met Donny at Swamp School (who gave me my first copy of FAMOUS MONSTERS, the one with Gorgo on the cover), I met the funny boy (who looked just like him) at a campground in St. Ignace. The funny boy acted like a standard country kid of that era except sometimes, he said, he predicted things. One day he said his father had named his rifle or shotgun or whatever it was he used for hunting the food he put on the table. He said it was named "Old Caintuck" but since they weren't from Kentucky, it wasn't clear why. Then he said, mystically, "Old Caintuck will outlast your parents love for you." So after Donny gave me FAMOUS MONSTERS #11, and I watched the Dorian Gray movie they had something to do with, it occurred to me that the final image of Dorian Gray therein, looked more like melting wax than a man dying. Later on, I would talk about Donny giving me FAMOUS MONSTERS #11 at a comic book convention in Mt. Clemens, Michigan in 2015, sharing a panel with fellow Warren alumnus, Basil Gogos, who had done the Gorgo cover. I never saw Donny or the funny boy again. So Kathy got raped, and Daddy turned bad and Dorian melted and here's what happened to me. On November 22, 1963, Daddy comes into my room. He says we are going to see the same hypnotist who raped Kathy (except, we don't remember that, by then). He drives us really fast to the airport in Yale, Michigan (which all the JFK researchers found out didn't exist when I first wrote about it in 1996), and the hypnotist is waiting. When they drape me over the rifle, I fire only one shot, but, nonetheless, it is the shot that ends the world. They have told me that I must start the shooting or die, and I was unable to trick them in that also. I fired deliberately to miss, but it hadn't mattered. Unable to push the rifle from the window as I had dreamed, I had only signaled the actual shooters from their various spots. My dad was an expert marksman and he thought he would be the one to shoot, not me. But it had all been a trick to see if I would comply, even though I loved the President and I did. So I was there and I was at the 2014 Fantasticon and I almost made thIs party too. Years ago, James Roth introduced me to Larry Silver - just on the social media site Facebook - leading to a series of posts on Larry's Facebook page by me...over and over, "James R. wants you to get my Social Worker song on the radio in New York." -- referencing a thoroughly objectionable song produced by my band, FRANKENHEAD! Larry put up with it for YEARS, then blocked me from his FACEBOOK pageI was even invited to the new building to get free champagne! One of the first families with mixed Indian blood came & got blocked by security. Larry came down and apologized & gave him the champagne. But even that led to more blood, and I didn't get to go to the Bohemian Grove after James invited me either. Part Three: A Death in the House of Roth and Dorian Visits the Grove
To those few who were aware of it, it was, of course, the highest of honors that modern society could possibly bestow upon me. The Bohemian Club had begun among journalists, then somehow reached the elite and powerful of the world as the years and decades passed. Oscar Wilde had placed their annual festival, the Bohemian Grove, first on his list of things to see when he came to America in 1882. To be invited to it at all is amazing but to be invited by one of the most powerful banking families in the world -- what could possibly go wrong? But, I had caused a death in the house of Roth. I did more than write the comics he liked. I got his father killed. When I wrote of my JFK involvement in 1996, alluding to a CIA AIDS MKULTRA Operation Paperclip connection, young Amschel Roth BOUGHT the Paperclip File. His intention was the cure AIDS, crash the stock market, and destroy the world economy. In the ensuing panic, credit would be as important as agriculture in a world struggling for recovery. The house of Roth would take over the world in FACT rather than fantasy. Walking in an open field, in a foggy dawn or dusk, is like this...you can see the fog so dense up ahead. But once you're there, it's gone. You can only see it in the distance. The power of the House of Roth is like that. The closer you get, the more you realize that it was just illusion. So on the 8th of July, 1996, Amschel Roth was suicided by the CIA. Rather than pretend some sort of inside information on Amschel's obvious murder, I would prefer to begin this way. Abbie Hoffman said you could riot against them, Cesar Chavez said you could organize labor, Jane Fonda said you could go to Communist Vietnam and party, long before the Nike executives thought of it. But David Carridine - and his TV show - claimed that you could defeat them with mind-over-matter, even deflect spears that way. So it was inevitable that they would murder Carridine also. What was alarming was the WAY in which Carridine was murdered. First Carridine was suicide by hanging. Then, as the stage was set, the Carridine verdict became auto-erotic asphyxiation, even though his hands were tied. The intent is to preclude further investigation. If one investigates the apparent suicide, the "real" story comes out and is far more appealing than the truth (murder) because it is so sordid. The question is, does this apply also to Amschel's suicide. If not, why such a minimal report on his death, even by his own company? Did the Roths fear that the slanderous - and false - accusations that would surround an investigation of his death would be more damaging to their fog-bound House than what they already faced? So James Roth did NOT ask Larry Silver to get my Social Worker song on the radio; that was just a joke. But he did invite me to the Grove, and this is what happened next. Those who entertain conspiracy theories may suggest that I was invited as an ersatz Oswald, and that it was implied that I would bring my main financier at the time, as a substitute for his widow, a woman of royal background whom I often call "The Princess", with a similar name and nationality to the widow of the falsely accused assassin. All to front off the CIA, who would also be there, for murdering his father. But that was not to be because I collapsed and needed surgery a few weeks before and the Princess was attacked and her arm broken. I had even learned that I could have taken her as far as the Clubhouse up front, though regrettably (and perhaps illegally) only men can join in the festivities in the forest. So even that worked out with lots of people hurt. But what if it hadn't? What if T. Casey had gone anyway, even with Amschel unavenged, and the Princess injured, and JFK unsolved? What if he had found Dorian within, just as he'd wanted in 1959 when he first learned to pick up girls? What if T. Casey had lost all that idealism and emotion he had felt in the Warren comics he had written in the seventies, or, not lost, but misplaced somehow? What if the blood no longer mattered? What if he only needed a place to rest? What if he found Dorian Gray within and the Grove Eternal? Could he go then, even washed in the tears and blood of the fallen?
Epilog:
The Grove has always been there. Before time and space, before the universe was created, the Grove was there. It was a place the powerful could go to rest. For that one moment we could forget what little people could never bear to know.: actions can have consequences. We are powerful - all of our actions have consequences. I've ALWAYS been there. So has Dorian Gray; Dorian from the book, and Dorian within.
Me.
THE END
I have learned I am powerful and that my steps cause ripples.
One can learn to play the ripples like music.
You can hear them and feel them and touch them like spider webs.
Lowering and raising amplitudes.
This must be what it is to be a God.
