A super coincidence occurred. My good friend and soul mate Edey has her birthday on Sunday, Oct 17th. A large group of friends and acquaintances are gathering at a health food type restaurant to celebrate this event. I already put this on my calendar about 3 weeks ago.
On Monday, of this week, I received a phone call from Joan nee Joan Loosli, nee Joan Todhunter telling me that her birthday is Saturday, Oct 16 and she is having a dinner at her house to celebrate the event and that I am invited. Joan's Son, Remi, is a chef at some major restaurant in the Valley area of L.A. and he is going to do all the cooking for the party.
What is it with Libra women? My two closest women friends and their birthdays are one day apart and they are both having large parties. Well, it gets even more interesting. I asked Edey if she had invited Johnny THe Magic Thetan to her party and she said she hadn't because Johnny was going to be out of town in Seattle this week.
Joan also invited Edey who she met at our dinner and music outing in Fullerton a couple weeks ago. Edey RSVP'ed to Joan today and found out that Johnny is in town and he is going to Joan's party. Edey cannot make Joan's party because she only had about 4 days advanced notice and already had plans for that day. Edey then called me and asked me if she should invite Johnny to her party now that she knows he is in town and I said, of course, that she should. She told me she would invite him tonight.
THE PLOT THICKENS
I get home and turn on my computer and check this thread and Hats has posted videos of Johnny speaking at the Freezone Convention. I watch one video and decide to forward it via email to Edey. I then come back and watch another Johnny video and while I am watching, my phone rings and IT IS JOHHNNY! He just called to say hi! I asked him if Edey invited him to her party and he said that she had not so I took it upon myself to invite him. You know, she told me she would do it tonight so when he called me, I just saved her a call and invited Johnny. He said that he thinks he will come! He has to check his calendar first when he gets home but he thought he was free and if he was free, he said that he will come. How about that!
PURPLE HAZE CALLS ME the night I heard the Channeling demonstration. Purple Haze has come out on Facebook using her own name, Candy Swanson. Of course that is the first CC Celebrity Auditor whom I called Tonto in my Origins of Celebrity Centre story posted on this thread and on its own independent thread on ESMB. Candy has posted some incredible photographs of herself and her friends from the mid and late 1970's. I met her just briefly in 1971 and was on staff with her at CCLA in 1971-72. Some of her pictures show that she was a very "hot" and sexy woman back in the 70's. So on the phone, I tell Candy that I have read her Facebook site and left some comments. She asks me if I have seen the pictures she has posted. I say, yes I have seen them and wow you looked just as I remember you in 1971. YOU WERE HOT!!
There was a delay, and then Candy repeats, I WAS hot? I realized that I had fired a foot bullet and tried to recover my aplomb (a Mark Baker word meaning composure). First I said, "Well Candy, you are still a very attractive woman for your age but you were in your mid twenties in those days." There was a comm lag, seconds of dead air and I knew I was still in trouble. I continued, "Candy, it just isn't the same. I mean I am still handsome for a 70 year old man but back in 1971 I was much much hotter than I am now. That's just the way it is. That seemed to do it and she said cheerfully, I was really hot wasn't I?. I said, "Yes, you were really awesome looking, one of the two or three best looking women at the old CCLA." She then said, well I am a lot more worldly and wiser now than I was then, that's for sure. I asked, are you telling me that if you had the wisdom then which you have now, you would have lived your life differently and she said things would have been a lot different. She said that things would have been totally different especially vis a vis her relationships with various men.
TIME PASSAGE USUALLY EQUATES TO GAINS IN WISDOM Looking at my own life, this was certainly the case and when Candy told me it was true in her life as well, that gave me pause to think. In her life, back in the early 1970's Scientology scene, whe was a big VIP, a Kha Khan, in pretty tight with LRH and was auditing movie stars such as Karen Black and Directors such as Milton Katselas and Ernest Lehman. She was already a celebrity in her own right and when she told me she was far far wiser now, I learned something.
I've met a few who were wiser in their youth and went off the rails as they matured but for most of us, our life experiences teach us a lot and we gain greatly in widsom. Move ahead 40 years and the person is much wiser.
To me an exception might be a man such as Orson Wells. He was just brilliant as a young man, a movie director, a movie star, a radio personality, he embodied great achievment and wisdom at a young age. When he was older, he was just known for acting in non descript wine commercials. He did nothing major of a creative nature in the second half of his life. What is with that?
Roger, any comments which you make on this topic above would be appreceiated.
