190-The Origins Of Sri Joseph Elijo

Loosing My Religion-R.E.M.

  Sri Joseph Elijo came about almost as organically as Pete Peach did. Her name was Piper when we rescued her and had her baby teeth removed because her adult teeth had grown in and her baby teeth never fell out. She was like a little shark with all these teeth. We felt sorry for this little creature after her surgery and said things like, "How's my little Pi, Pi, my Piper, Peter Piper, my little Peach, Pete Peach." So she became Pete.  Since i carry her around in a lovely hand made carry bag, older people would admire this darling creature and I like an Organ Grinder would present my friend. When asked her name I would say, "Her name is Pete." generally the woman of the group who does not grasp the Pronoun thing would say," Pete, that's a girls name, I'm going to call her Peach." So of course I who always embellishes on the  ideas my wife talks to me about (always to her dismay) started calling her, "Mrs. Pete Peach. It is how the origin of Ask Mrs. Peach? evolved. How does all this tie into to Sri Joseph Elijo? Here we are.

While reading the Edgar Cayce Handbook For Creating Your Life Principle # 23 There is Power in a Person's Name My wife came across this passage. At other times, however, Cayce recommended that people may benefit from such a change. Once as he was beginning a reading for a man in a distant city, he repeated the recipient's name and address (as was customary), then he inserted curiously, "you should leave off the name Albert." He then proceeded with the reading as usual. The implication was that a shift in how the man referred to himself would have a significant impact. Now that was interesting, as a young man I was fat child, right at the time Bill Cosby came out with Fat Albert. You remember," Hey, Hey, Hey." How I hated Bill Cosby and my name. It was grade to middle school and it was relentless. I suppose it is why I am trim and exercise Today. To further put this into context we were watching The Chosen on television and Kathy had paused it. We discussed what name I might like. Growing up I admired my Uncle Joe. I mowed his lawn and worked in his garage on my cars. My father and I rebuilt a 1946 Dodge Power Wagon in his garage and it is a wonderful memory. My Father was of course Big Albert and I Little Albert (Ugh!) So Joseph was a great hit for the first name. Elijo was bantered about because when Kathy first took me to visit Paramahansa's Ashram in Encinitas we stayed in the State Camp Ground, San Ellij State Park. It is a very short walk from Swami's and we would spend the morning in Swami's Garden after buying our morning coffee's at Miracle's Cafe on the way. There was a meditation Bench at Swami's Star in the early days and we would sit and Dharma Talk for hours gazing out over Sunset Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Elijo it was. It was decided my pen name was to be Joseph Elijo. Was I really going to change my name? We started The Chosen again on the television and in the next few seconds Jesus tells Simon he wants him to change his name to Peter. O.K. Somethings in life happen and you say,"Did that really happen?" Well, "Did that really happen Joseph?" Kathy asked. Somethings in life cannot be ignored and often times when you are Karmically Shown Something you should really pay attention. 

The Sri was a real struggle for me. I was initiated into Kriya Yoga in 2009 just as I was completing my book Of Mountains And Men. It was a defining moment in my life as I had struggled with addictions and personal suffering and after my Telluride introduction to Swami, my life changed, my spirit soared, I had already  met my wife  (In 1994 and Bonded over Swami's Encinitas Ashram) and life moved forward without the struggle of my addictions. (See My Pages, The Rolling Reverend, and Telluride Smile.) The question that haunted me was I felt the title Sri should be given and it isn't up to an individual to assume it. However, I was in the middle of revamping my blog and listing (My Pages Inspirational Verses based on SRF Daily Meditations-The Covid Writings. Volume !-V.) I realized that it is who I am, who I identify as, I am a Yogi of The Self-Realization Fellowship Order of Paramahansa Yogananda and while I don't proselytize, I do however preach through my blogs of the great benefits and extreme changes that have taken place in my life, soul and being since my initiation in to the Swami Order and I am very proud of my accomplishments. I once truly was a Godless Cretin( See My Pages Miracles of Babaji.) If you live your life every day open to the Universe and Listen, Listen to what God and the World is truly saying to you, then there is nothing more we can ask of you. We all see the derision, hate, and violence that is prevalent in society. I don't wish to be the Mountain Guru removed from the world of Men, Women and Children. I wish to live among them in Peace and Harmony so I guess I will go along my way today as Sri Joseph Elijo.

I Am Moses(A Man Of Selfless Dedication.)There now, I have said it! Once the gauntlet has been lain it will be up to the Universe, God and Myself to deliver. There is a time for everything in life and I cannot tell you why this is the time. One can never be certain of anything in one's life, the Universe is a shifting Karmic Reality. The only thing that I can say is that when God Speaks to You and Shows you what must be done, you must do it. It is not the ramblings of a lunatic in the desert but the result of a deep spiritual transformation that I was not prepared for nor did I ask for. It is Through Kriya Yoga, Qi Gong and Meditation and a Slow Evolving Transformation this has been presented to me. They say you go to the Mountains to find God, (Which I did) and you go to the Desert to find yourself, (So here it is.) Was I prepared for the result of this Journey, I was not. I am surprised, almost alarmed, a little like Noah building his Ark, because God told him to, it started with the Death of my mentor, the earth seemed to move then also, but I always felt that I had a calling. I remember distinctly as a young man of twenty- five falling down a  massive headwall of Arapahoe Basin where I seriously questioned my mortality and only after I gained control and arrested the fall, I stood with my knees shaking did I question, "What do you want from me ?" The answer came not of the wind or of the mountains or the snow ladened pines but of a voice that startled me, "Be a Teacher."  I didn't know then because I was a young arrogant man confused by Maya, but I understand now. So for what it is worth, please join me on this Epic journey, I am about to Embark On.

My next reveal will be the Origin of Sri Joseph Elijo. It also is quite the surprising development in my Writing Life. Developments that are Cascading Like the Ivory Crystals of a Snowy Alpine Avalanche into My life. 

Hope You Enjoy The Ride!

Tales of Lucky Dun Ranch Miracles and Magic Monasteries and Self-Realization Masters

Slick Little Fox was our very first rescue at Aspen Equine Studies. He was born with Congenital Flexural Deformity. It is a condition where the tendons of a horses legs do not allow the foot or leg to stand straight and true rendering the animal lame. The owner of the breeding ranch decided to put the foal down. My wife, Kathy and I asked if we could rescue the foal because we believed we could save him. It was a difficult battle between the Vet and our school to persuade the Vet to go along. In the end, the Vet agreed, and Aspen Equine Rescue Ranch was born. Kathy and I worked around the clock using massage and other therapies to eventually straighten out Slick Little Foxes legs and allow them to turn in and stand straight and true. (See my Pages, Slick Little Fox, The Coal Seam Fire, Mornings With Jack London and my Poems, Sister's Precious Miracle, In Defense of My Lady Tahoe's Honor, Wild Horses, Restless Spirits, Harnessed Spirits, Cry For The Species Equuis, Opening The Stall Door) They are some of our experiences with rescuing and working with horses. He was our very first Equine Miracle and we were to have many more, I hope you will be able to read about, as I write them all. Slick Little Fox and Our Lord taught me,  just like the Story of Rumplestiltskin, I could spin straw into Gold.

Recently, the St. Benedict's Monastery (3700 Acres) went out of business in Snowmass, Colorado. It has been listed for sale and would be an excellent Arts Colony and Rescue Ranch. I was fortunate enough to spend a good deal of time there, for many years, and it became a beloved place of worship and healing for people from all over the world. I would like to again restore it to it's original Glory. There are very specific rules and regulations of what can be allowed as renovation and remodeling. Since it was already a Monastery and had cottages and retreat houses it would lend itself to this type of progress. The Monastery had a wonderful book store that could be expanded and the retreat houses would make excellent places to write or to meditate privately. It would be a project worthy of Great Merit and a Legacy of Untold Honor. It would also take a community of Amazing Artisans and Gifted Individuals to see it through. I am reminded of Paramahansa being visited by Babaji before he left India for America.(Shortly before Paramahansa Yogananda left for America in 1920, Mahavatar Babaji came to Yoganandaji's home in Calcutta, where the young monk sat deeply praying for divine assurance regarding the mission he was about to undertake. Babaji said to him: “Follow the behest of your guru and go to America.) He was a simple Enlightened Indian Swami coming to America where he went on to build an enduring Legacy that has helped afflicted and suffering Individuals around the World to find Peace, Harmony and Radiating Inner Joy. I believe the Monastery is that Magic Place that could bring Creativity, Love and Happiness to Millions of Lost Souls and Help Save Our American Heritage, The Wild Mustang. Only God knows what is meant to be.

I know that my blogs have been Extremely Political and It is not really what we are about. However these are Extreme Times and Silence is not an Option. It is imperative that everyone get out and vote. 

The Autobiography Of A Yogi, by Paramahansa Yogananda in Chapter 34- Tells of The Timeless Avatar Babaji materializing a Palace In The Himalayas for his Disciple Lahiri Mahasaya. It is a fascinating Miracle, one that I hope can be performed for us so that we may Teach and Rescue Horses at Theophane's Magic Monastery.

Thoughts On Ernest Hemnigway's Missing Thirteen Stories

I Can See Clearly Now, Johnny Nash

 I was always fascinated by the fact Hadley Richardson Hemingway lost 13 short stories of Hemingway’s on a trip to Paris. Here is one scenario.

It would make a great movie!

The setting is 1920's Paris and Hadley Richardson Hemingway has arrived from the states. She has been charged to deliver 13 of Ernest Hemingways short stories to him and they are in a leather brief case. She is greeted upon arrival and immediately ushered to a party at Gertrude Steins with Hemingways artists and writer friends. The writer's Dos Passos, F. Scott Fitzgerald, E.E. Cummings, Archibald Macleash and others along with the artists Picasso, Masson, Gris and Miro. Hemingway is delayed and will arrive at the party later. During the early part of the party as she is being introduced she sets the brief case on a stand near a chair in the room. While distracted by the introduction to these Famous people she has heard of but never met she is overwhelmed by the excitement and forgets about the stories. When Hemingway arrives and makes his grand gregarious entrance she remembers that she set the stories down and she goes to the table but the stories are gone. There is an uproar throughout the gathering and Gertrude Stein calls the police. A middle aged somewhat backwards and slow detective shows up and begins asking questions. There is tremendous confusion and each person the detective interviews is sure they know who took the stories because each artist and writer that is accused has expressed jealousy over Ernest Hemingway's talent and consider him to be somewhat of a bully. They all have their stories of confrontations while excessive drinking has occurred and arguments about who is better at their craft abounded.

The briefcase is found but it is devoid of the stories and the important factor is that the detective determines that no one has left the party and the intrigue is where in the world in Gertrude Steins home could some one hide the stories. Each and every person leads the detective in a different way and many false innuendos and accusations creates disharmony and jealousies and outright disdain for fellow artists and writers are exposed. In the end the detective discovers a clump of pebbles next to a large bamboo stick near the fire place hearth upon closer inspection he finds a piece of cloth a shard ripped from someones sleeve. He examines all the occupants clothes and the shard matches Zelda Fitzgeralds apparel. She took the stories because one of Hemingways stories had received greater adulation from Gertrude than her Husbands recently and the opportunity presented itself and she was sloppily drunk at the time.

Further Questions To Expose The Truth Of The Lure- Thoughts On Future Alternative Historical Work

There are a lot of unanswered questions that are arising through research that will need to be answered in order to be factual and truthful. Asking them is the first step into resolving them.

I was not aware of Alternative Historical Fiction nor was I aware of alternative or more than one ending or reader write your own ending. It addresses my writing rigidity and has stimulated my creativity. Interesting. Here at the end is some Alternate Benjamin Franklin History Thoughts.

 Time Period 1978  Dillon Colorado, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area

What were the thoughts of the day?

Who were the escapists?

What were they escaping from? Family Business? Law? School? Failed Marriage? Failed Business/ Love of Mountains and Skiing?

Why did Keystone Ski Area and its Parent Company want the Ski Area Arapahoe Basin so badly.

Why did Joe Jankovsky sell the Mountain. It would have been hard to raise 5 million dollars in the 1978 economy but did he even try?

Who was Senator Dansforth? What generation of Dansforth was he?

Was he an all or nothing at all individual?

What part did the politicians of the day have to do in orchestrating the circumstances of the sale?

Did the Senator or the Politicians have anything do to with the passage of the Skier Safety Act of 1978 the would cause Joe to sell.

Who passed the Act? The U.S. Forest Service?

Why did the laid back attitude of the Basin attract so many wandering hippies and soul searchers? What was it about the mountain that filled the hippies and lost souls with joy, happiness and pride for an American Nation? Was the fact that the bragging rights of the Highest Lift Serviced Mountain In North America actually mean that much (too as Gertrude Stein would have said Another Lost Generation) (Of the VIetnam War) Politics of the era?

Why after 46 years am I still obsessed with writng the story? How did my friends that I skied with there feel? How did all the people I brought there over the years feel? What did the story mean to them? Were they as affected by the sale or did it mean anything to them? I am a lover of Mountains and the American National Forests and the Disappearing Wilderness, how did Joe, his nephew Tom and my friends over the years feel about the ski area and sale to Keystone Corp?

The setting for my Historical Work would be just prior to June 10, 1752 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and Benjamin Franklin is considering his theory on electricity, he believes that there is some form of energy but he is not exactly sure what that energy is. He spends hours in his study designing ideas of how to figure out what this source of energy is. He begins conducting experiments. He is not sure if storms, with lightning or the sun with it’s rays, or rain with a deluge of water is a creative force.

The alternatives are evident, we all know that Benjamin chose to hook a key on a string that was struck by lighting and how that scenario ended. What if instead he had taken a dark piece of metal and exposed it to the sun’s rays and found out it became very hot and he wondered how he could transfer the heat or a way that he could store the heat generated by the sun. He could have invented a small cube of material that harnessed the sun’s energy and could have been brought into a house to heat them. The cube. if attached properly could have also generated the electricity he was searching for. The possibilities of Benjamin’s Cube could have revolutionized the world and given access to heat and power to all people of all nations. From the largest of mansions in the city to the remotest straw hut in a village in Africa, Benjamin’s Energy Cube could have powered the largest of factories for free. (When the sun shone) Of course Benjamin would have discovered a way to not only harness the energy he would have come up with a way to store it or that the cube could be set in a receiver to be recharged from the (Mother Cube) that had all the energy if you will.

If our friend Benjamin had been flying his kite with his key and the rain had been coming down exceptionally hard the force of the water may have moved the key that was not tied properly down the string and he would have thought that water is pressure and is a source of power. They already used it to move grinding wheels for Grist Mills. What if he came up with a way to use the water force for something else. He already had the concept of electricity, he may have invented the turbine engine to generate power years earlier than it was invented.

New Info on The Lure.

The Times They Are a Changin', Bob Dylan

 Second Draft Outline and Additions With New Research References. In my research I have found a Historical Flaw in my premise. The senator was a motivating factor in the purchase but My hero Joe was facing the enactment of the National Skier Safety Act in 1979. It would have cost about 5 million dollars to upgrade the lifts to the new standard. Facing that problem and knowing he had paid 860 thousand dollars, it probably was prudent for him to sell to Keystone and Ralston Purina for 3 million and retire. I have been in contact with Tommy J Joe's nephew, who has managed Ski Sunlight in Glenwood Springs for years, and I have Joe's contact information as well as other great leads for research. Things are certainly moving a long. I always knew writing was hard, but just how difficult is enlightening in itself. No matter we are Goliath Slayers after all.

I have contacted Tom Jankovsky the nephew of the owner in 1978 who was the manager of Ski Sunlight in Glenwood Colorado and I have his phone number and e-mail and he was able to give me the information for Joe Jankovsky also. Tom agreed to do phone interviews as of yet I have not contacted Joe until I’m sure how to approach him. He is still alive but older and it should be done soon.

 

Tom suggested several names from the National Ski Hall of Fame and thought it might be a good reference.
