Invisible Worlds Made Visible

Invisible worlds become visible through the Power of Imagination…which means images. Another way of saying it is to call this Shamanic Essential Skill “Exercising Visualization”, which is quite literally the technique used to create the illusion of the universe, which is what you’re looking at right now.

So we need to understand how old time radio shows were made.

Jack Benny was one of the greatest radio comedians in history. His show ran for about 15 years on NBC radio, and almost as long on CBS radio and television.

Jonathan Winters Ate Here

Musso & Frank’s Grill was right around the corner from my place, and I was there almost every lunchtime and dinner from 1967-1971 when I left Hollywood. Prior to that, from 1964 to 1966, I ate there occasionally, but by 1967, I was working for Chuck at Tiger Beat/Monkee Spec, and I could well afford the best food in L.A., and this was where you could find it.
