Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963September 13This is Hejirat Day. Ever since Cora invaded my rooms there has been nothing but drama. Jesseattacked Lorraine, my landlady. She fled. Isabel Clarke offered me rooms, then kept my money anda typewriter and would not let me in. Ivy Duce returned not only my commentaries—at least mostof them but all of Pir-o-Murshid’s unedited work on ryazat and yogas. This gives me a tremendousamount of material.Paul Reps has been here and we have visited Too Lun whom he admires. Dr. K. Kato has leftfor Los Angles. Iru Price has opened his home, 1450 Monterey, a fine mansion dedicated to Buddhismand to Chinese art. Last Sunday were parties for Kato (did not attend) and for or rather byIru. Materials came from a real seminar by Swami Ranganathananda in Calcutta. Dr. Rahul is speakingthere and so I have his address in New Delhi. This is important for reports and also confirmed“The Lotus and the Universe.”Milton Fireman sent me a long confidential report which substantiates everything I have everstood for. But it means his being pushed out by AID and a rival plan of a rival Prof. at Berkeley(Tube-wells) being given more money for more foolishness.The combination of George Ball going to Pakistan and the discovery that Edward Lansdale ischief of CIA in Vietnam caused me to blow up and take a desperate measure. This was successful,praise to Allah. When I was asked to put my cards on the table, I had more, not less than presumedand at least I have a chance now for reports, and for an intermediary who has promised to get myworks reviewed if not published.Major Sadiq and Khawar want my autobiography and will put up the money. Have been toPakistani Consulate to get more materials translated. They respect me now. Have signed up withtwo courses of the World Affairs Council. Willie Wise away and only talked on phone with GaleDarling. Feel self-assured if not confident. My friends plan to come here at the end of the year. So farno replies to anything sent out for University of Islamabad. This is “cultural exchange.”Put on an elementary form of “Yoga Bell Dance” at Baptists. It went over big. But now havehad some inner experiences about Sakya Muni.Mail has not come through. PO negligent about change in address, complicated by having firstchanged to 2nd Ave., and now here. Had to borrow $250 which the bank gave me on Credit Card, notrouble, no nothing, just like that. Reps very happy over instructions, showing people how to walk.Will try to see Sunny Bloland about this too, but she may be at Madelynne’s on October 6 which willbe “Mendocino Night.”
