Good-Bye Dad - Thanks for the Ride!

Torbay: My Father’s Funeral – Good-Bye Dad! (12.7.2026)

I refuse to set-foot in a Church that possesses such a hypocritical attitude. I will not compromise my political or spiritual view. All they care about is milking just one more penny from my father’s reputation – which cost people nothing when he was out waving. Cromwell had the right idea – as did Marx and Lenin – separate Church from State – and completely defund it. No political power, property, or influence. Torbay Social Services and the Management and Staff of Simpson Ward (NHS Hospital Torbay) are all criminals as far as I am concerned. They should be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity – and this includes any official who assisted this criminality. The British Labour Party (Starmer-Burnham) and the British Establishment – has earned my eternal scorn.

Mike Bassett England Manager

UK: When I Watched “Mike Bassett England Manager” with my Dad! (7.7.2026)

My family would travel to my parent’s home in Torquay at various times of the year – and me and my father sat in the darkened front-room of 2 Torbay Road – and howled with laughter at this remarkable English film! My Dad wanted me to see how ordinary people experience life – including pitfalls and disasters – and how they a) deal with it, and b) over-come those problems. The English way also includes a sense of humour. Anyway, my life sorted itself out and afterwards more great things were experienced and achieved. Today, for no reason at all, this film came up on YouTube – perhaps because it has a fictional match between England and Mexico. Today, the England Team is routinely reaching semi-finals and finals – but you never can tell if a return to the old form is on the cards!

The Re-Arranged Family Shrine - 2026

UK: The Family Shrine Re-Arranged for the Passing of My Father! (18.6.2026)

Even if no member of a Chinese family has not trained in a formal spiritual order – incense will be regularly lit, and fresh flowers and fruit will be added every so many days. Of course, some shrines are kept-up at a greater degree than others – but this does not matter in the end. A family shrine is a door-way between one plane and another. It is a two-way structure that permits a solemn respect to traverse from the material realm into the immaterial realm – and allows a positive spiritual reality to emanate from the immaterial plane to the material realm. Today, I talked to my deceased father – and I did this via a photograph that my mother took and printed-out for me probably around 2010. The photograph was taken in the front garden of our old home at 2 Torbay Road, Torquay Road, Torquay, Devon (the shyster landlord took over a hundred thousand pounds in rent between 2002-2018 before applying a no-fault eviction because we requested a repair be made). As this was 16-years ago – my father would have been around 68-years old at the time. I suppose my father was at the peak of his power as an elderly person! Tomorrow we will collectively lit incense. It is the next stage of respectful mourning.

Dad Waving in Torbay!

UK: Remembering the “White Wizard” of Torbay! (14.6.2026)

I think that if religions gave-up their ridiculous claims to exclusivity – then the method of “looking within” could become a legitimate part of understanding the material world (albeit “subjectively”) and take its place alongside “objective” science. As matters stand, religious development tends to be unregulated and more or less ad hoc in its ability to produce legitimately transcendent beings. Such a being would declare the path he followed to be obsolete as he emerges thoroughly enlightened. Today, religions make stupid claims of non-existent (exclusive) knowledge – and limit their practitioners to religious dogma. It is for this reason of general ignorance and their siding with capitalism that Marxist-Leninism has a bleak view of religions in general. If religions truly abandoned the physical world they inhabit – then capitalism would be left firmly behind. Greed cannot be encouraged at source when transcendence demands a complete break with all fetters that would bind the practitioner to the mundane. The truly transcendent amongst us quietly disentangle their minds from the tortures of the physical world and humbly “ascend”. They do not do it for fame, money, or recognition. Indeed, for us mere mortals, we will be lucky if we receive an emancipating wave from them!

Dad's Funeral Card - 2026

Torbay: Graven Images Are Appearing & Our Funeral Card for My Dad! (4.6.2026)

As an older man myself, I am unperturbed by the passing of my father. This inner state of non-friction is a product of two distinct influences on my life – my father’s attitude to material reality (always be fearless and move forward when under fire) – and Buddhist meditation (remove greed, hatred, and delusion from within – and do not create the conditions that manifests these taints externally). It is a multifaceted approach to conflict resolution in the world. Yes – I have seen my father’s now deceased body – and it is a body that is no longer functioning. He is no longer in physical pain. Indeed, natural processes have removed his presence from the physical world – just as they brought him into it a little over 84-years ago. This does not absolve those around him who contributed to his suffering – as they shall be forever damned – but such an attitude demonstrates that externally deriving ignorance will crush or divert our way of viewing the world. We will not bend or bow-down to tyranny.
