 Thank you for forwarding. I think's a good read and I'm happy to see Jaz at 60 in his element, enjoying life wherever he is in the central valley of Mexico.

Jaz's monthly update

It is sunset. A beautiful blue sky (not a single persistent contrail!) While the October nights are cooler, the afternoon heat is such that only a ‘siesta’ is possible which is fine by me. I delight in the seasonal laziness of it all! Get high and pass out until the cool evening air!

A jug of iced coffee is required and a fine cigar needs to be selected – a cigar so delicious that Raven would undoubtedly steal it! Of course he would snatch the Cohiba Siglo 6.

This time, thirteen years ago, was Paul’s funeral in France and his wake just over the border in Geneva. And of course, as we approach the 31st the veil between the living and the dead becomes thin. This is the time in all cultures when the souls of the dead return to advise the living.

I am currently preparing for the Day of the Dead celebrations three hours drive from here – then the beach – ha ha ha! I am also dressing the altar here at my apartment with photos, wine, joints, chocolate and photos – Dad and Raven are there.

In the west we have essentially a post-enlightenment view of death (ie. termination of life followed by oblivion) resulting from a mechanistic notion of the universe. However it was my brother, Dr Piers Coleman who informed me that current modern scientific thought maintains that consciousness survives death.

As I am an old spirit, I feel compelled to elaborate. When we pass through death we find ourselves disincarnate yet we can hear everything the living say. Which is why I insist that we must always refer to the dead in the present tense – talk to them even – on a regular basis.

Killing Joke’s longevity is down to our understanding of the ancestry spirit. It governs our every move, especially concerts where we ritually form a physical circle – shoulder to shoulder and literally invoke the ancestral spirit.

We reverse the order practiced by the western mystery tradition which commences proceedings with a banishing ritual (which from our perspective creates an aberration – a rip in the fabric of the spiritus loci, spacetime as it were).

Understanding the building blocks of the ancestral spirit works like this. All our dads in K.J. (while on the other side of the veil) are still very much alive and all take a keen interest in their son’s careers, as do late Gatherers, the mighty Raven and others… many others.

They are all alive and when we think of them with love in our hearts they return to us. (Yes, the dead live by love in a mantra I repeat over and over again!).  They live through us, guide us.

“And in our joy they take their joy. 
Then all the lines between are gone.”
Song And Dance

And, as Youth notes:

“When we come together, the weight of our ancestors comes through and takes us to that timeless space.”

Conclusively, I couldn’t agree more with the ideas of Professor of Anthropology, Dr Christopher Knight who maintains “that our ancestral spirits should rule us rather than our obsession with money!”

Because I see, hear, greet and converse with the spirits, they look favorably on me. When loved ones are present I am overcome with emotions. I have always had these traits.

Which is why the next 24 hours will be collecting various delights for the ancestors to adorn the altar.

A jar of weed, a bottle of Rose, Kinder Happy Hippos (or Kinder anything for Raven), half of my Cohiba, flowers.

As most of you know I have no phone, no laptop, iPad or computer of any kind. No television either. So most of the time I go inwards. As I have memorised any knowledge worth saving as well as possessing the genetic history of mankind (like you) so all that is required to unlock such memory is a pleasurable form of somamancy. As Plato noted:

“All knowledge is remembering.”

Anyway last time I looked on the internet I found it utterly homogenised. All the major servers have algorithms designed to prohibit debate and push mainstream narrative. A couple of years ago, that knob Bono made the statement ‘we should have a Chinese type of internet’ or something to that effect! In the coming world order non-conformists will be eliminated unless a neo-Bolshevik solution is found in systematic disengagement of the top 200 corporations and a brutal transnationalisation to counter the obscene disparity of wealth.

As for geopolitics, the US election result will create even more division as it is designed to do. The US will be broken into several separate entities eventually (after civil war and economic collapse). These are:

   - The California Republic which by nature of its demographics will come under Chinese influence.
   - Central North American Union will come under Canadian influence.
   - Texas will come under Mexican influence.
   - It is uncertain to whom the Atlantic Union will align itself to.

Nevertheless, that the US will be divided along ethnic lines is without question. This election marks the beginning of the planned break up of the United States of America.

This cigar is tasting beautiful. I am surrounded by spirits. There is a Russian Blue cat purring on my knees.

I think of all of you out there – I am with you all.
