Episode 25

Mood

"Mood" is the prompt for this week's THREE-HEADED MAN conversation.

Jimmy begins the conversation by referring to himself as a stable actor -- he is stable, steady, simple -- tidy -- that's Jimmy, and he has an aim of "Zero Mood". Moodless.

Jazzy has an evil thought, and attempts to provoke Jimmy, "did Mary call you in the background?"

Phreddie asks, "Does a mood come from outside?"

What changes our mood and attitude?

The conversation advances, are we enslaved to mood? Moods work their way through me. Phreddie experiences "Ugly Reverb". "Mood is a shade that tints my view," says Phreddie. Are we responsible for our moods?

Listen to yourself, says Jimmy.

Phreddie ponders Art and Architecture, and considers their influences upon one's mood.

In contrast, Jimmy interjects his notions on grumpy moods and anger. Phreddie responds saying that he avoids labeling emotions and moods, which prompts Jazzy to recall a story of Mere Baba.

What to do with anger?

Phreddie recalls a practice from Claymont, J.G. Bennett's fourth-way school, where, because he experienced a lot of anger, he was given the opportunity to dig in the earth. He was told that the earth can receive our anger.

Phreddie directs the conversation to The Labyrinth Readers, and the reading The American Book of the Dead. He asks if Jimmy and Jazzy prepare the space for the instructions they read for the recently deceased. Do they use assisting factors to clean and raise the mood of the space?

This propels a discussion of the tools and rituals we use for creating a good reading space, which can be enhanced by an elevated mood for contact with the voyaging spirit.

I like to do. I like to make things. And, I like telling stories. I tell stories to myself and to others.

First, a short biography, which is, of course, is a story. I was born in Cleveland, played sports, and attended university. Later, after a few years in the radio business, I returned to university to study education and literature.

With a teaching certificate in my file folder, I began working in high schools, first as a strike-breaking scab substitute teacher in Cleveland's far suburbs, and then in Chicago, mostly in private high schools.

Cleveland and Chicago. My two main towns, and I escaped them both. Presently, I live in a tiny, isolated, mountain village in Spain. I am reluctant to write the name of the town because I don't like tourists. When the tourists arrive, they look at me as if I am an animal in a zoo.
