    To Remain
    The Sun InterviewBy Judith HertogTo RemainRaja Shehadeh on Living through Destruction in Palestine

    I have been thinking that people all over the world these days are feeling a sense of despair because, like me, they are seeing the destruction of the world as they knew it. But it has occurred to me that the real destruction of my world happened in 1948, when the Palestinians lost Palestine.

    The Sun Interview

    Paperback Writer

    An Interview With Ronald Kemp

    Pornography is a dirty book. If you like a dirty book, it’s fine, nothing wrong with it.

    By Dusty MillerJanuary 1976
    The Sun Interview

    In Defense Of The Human Heart

    An Interview With Ron Tabor

    On an unconscious level people are preparing themselves psychically for the future I’ve talked about without consciously knowing it, since in the future, political action — except for the revolution of the minorities in the cities — is meaningless.

    The Sun Interview

    Death And Other Cures

    An Interview With Dr. Lobsang Dolma

    “Illness,” she says, “is caused by your own actions in this or a former lifetime. Killing, stealing, and lying can draw illness to yourself.” In one out of ten illnesses, she continues, an evil spirit is present.

    Thoughts On Community

    An Interview With Stephen Gaskin

    Each seed, each baby born, each word, each deed, all together now, creating the music of the world.

    By Mike MathersApril 1975
    The Sun Interview

    Dropping Out/Dropping In

    Work on yourself first, before you work on something else. That’s kind of the basic idea. The Zen people say wash your bowl. The Sufis say clean your mirror. It’s all the same thing. Work on yourself first, then those other questions answer themselves.

    More Baba Ram Dass

    You start with the energy to be somebody, then use it to become nobody.

    By Sy SafranskyJanuary 1974
    The Sun Interview

    Baba Ram Dass

    There Is No Energy Crisis!

    In a recent interview, Ram Dass, who moves and speaks with an economy of energy suited to the times, suggests that the energy crisis is, “like all trauma, an exquisitely designed opportunity to reawaken man.”
