Penny Lane Very Strange - Part 2


Last month, I did a post questioning the nature of reality and consciousness. A couple of weeks ago, I did another post about some strange coincidences that have happened to me in the last couple of months. Most of those coincidences were in some way related to The Beatles.

As I mentioned before, my son and daughter-in-law gave me a copy of The Beatles The Biography by Bob Spitz for Christmas. I have the book on my nightstand. This morning as I was getting ready for work I thought, "Okay, if someone is trying to tell me something through this book, lets see what it might be."

I picked up the book, opened it to a random page (page 564 to be exact) and, I swear to you, this is what I saw:

Chapter 28
Into the Cosmic Consciousness

Dead center in that photograph is a picture of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who happened to start a university here in my town of Fairfield, Iowa because they believed it was the center of the western world (directly across from India.) Now thirty years later, it is still going strong and they are still building peace palaces all over the world. Two more are also going up here in town. It's a huge pyramid scam of sorts and I could go on and on with stories but I won't. Not enough time to tell them.

Let's just say that 25% of the population here in town still act and dress like the Beatles did in that picture.

Ed - I had no idea that was going on in Iowa.

Al - I thought you were the walrus.

Popeye - You always have the most amazing insights.

Jen - I think he's onto something.

I had no idea about Fairfield, Iowa either, and I was in Iowa 3 times last May, got lost a few times too! Iowa seems to be the place I get lost a lot, but the people are always nice.

Iowa City was a blast, we had lots of fun, I could live there, I think. Only thing I didn't like was the amount of ethanol in the gas there.

Susan - I need to go to Iowa.
