00:00:01.672 --> 00:00:07.120 align:middle line:84%
It's a poem dated 10/29/70,
called "Invocation."

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.620 align:middle line:90%


00:00:11.620 --> 00:00:14.260 align:middle line:84%
One who had five
bullets from a .38

00:00:14.260 --> 00:00:17.860 align:middle line:84%
pumped in him point blank, and
went drinking a week later,

00:00:17.860 --> 00:00:21.640 align:middle line:84%
had a right to think he was
immortal, had a true access.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:22.960 align:middle line:90%
We drew a circle.

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:24.670 align:middle line:90%
Who else could I do this with?

00:00:24.670 --> 00:00:26.710 align:middle line:84%
In a circle of
large cholla, to be

00:00:26.710 --> 00:00:31.000 align:middle line:84%
sure no one else could
enter, raised the huge sword,

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.790 align:middle line:84%
and drew the pentagram,
shadowed in flames.

00:00:33.790 --> 00:00:37.000 align:middle line:84%
And leapt to and fro,
Coors crazed, shouting,

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.100 align:middle line:84%
I take in hand
the sword of power

00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:41.570 align:middle line:84%
for defense against
evil and aggression,

00:00:41.570 --> 00:00:47.110 align:middle line:84%
and the syllables, ze, bah, oth,
ja, el, ek, faro, then waited,

00:00:47.110 --> 00:00:48.670 align:middle line:90%
nearly shivering.

00:00:48.670 --> 00:00:50.380 align:middle line:90%
But what did we expect?

00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:53.470 align:middle line:84%
The Esidim teaches of
Christ in the desert,

00:00:53.470 --> 00:00:55.750 align:middle line:84%
so you could walk through
a crowd of bullets

00:00:55.750 --> 00:00:57.430 align:middle line:90%
without being touched.

00:00:57.430 --> 00:01:00.550 align:middle line:84%
Yet what came surpassed
this, your wife's

00:01:00.550 --> 00:01:05.310 align:middle line:84%
children tumbling in
the hematite mirror.

00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:07.170 align:middle line:84%
You may not be familiar
with the Esidim.

00:01:07.170 --> 00:01:11.250 align:middle line:84%
That's part of the Dead
Sea Scrolls information.

00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:16.230 align:middle line:84%
Sort of a zen type sect that
practiced and taught aikido.

00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:19.890 align:middle line:84%
And the story goes that
Christ studied with them

00:01:19.890 --> 00:01:20.700 align:middle line:90%
for a long time.

00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:24.540 align:middle line:84%
That explains some
of the miracles,

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:27.110 align:middle line:84%
especially walking
through the crowd.
