Legend of Perakee BALANCE OF PERAKEE

Introduction The Basics The World Colors BALANCE Poetry

THE BALANCE OF PERAKEE Every story you encounter in life has the potential to help you find the keys to unlock the power and knowledge that lies hidden inside of you. It doesn't matte r if it is a story you heard from Larry the Cable Guy, or a movie you watched li ke WILLIE WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, or a story you read like The Legend o f Perakee. All stories are nothing more than stories unless you can use the info rmation to somehow change your life. Everyone has their own stories, their own tales of power, if you will. But most people feel their own stories are powerless. So they seek other peoples' stories . It seems the more outlandish the story, the more people flock to become a part of it, even if vicariously. "Yeah, there I was, a great Jedi Knight, when I suddenly found myself surrounded by Darth Vader's evil minions. I drug out my trusty Light Sabre and hacked them all to pieces. Princess Leah was so grateful she gave me a big ole sloppy sugar s!!" Some have deliberately embellished their stories to give them greater power in t he eyes of themselves and their fellow man. We hear stories of golden tablets de livered by angels that mysteriously disappear after being read, or strange Yaqui sorcerers from central Mexico that no one else has ever met, or falling down bl ind on the road to Damascus, or being abducted by space aliens who really care a bout us but choose to give their messages of hope to a selected few instead of u

sing live television to announce their existence. And there are some who try to build a mystery around themselves, apparently in a n effort to make people think they do not have the normal human weaknesses. But the truth always comes out, and we hear stories of charlatanism, income tax evas ion, visits with prostitutes, lawsuits, and eyewitness accounts of starving chil dren who never received a penny of the millions in donations supposedly collecte d just for them. But there are those who I look on with especial disfavor, and fortunately most o f the world does too. These ones are after gold, pure and simple, and could care less how much damage they do to those who follow them. They use words of love a nd caring to lure the unfortunate, the downtrodden, the young into cults that of ten turn into hells on earth. We hear stories of cyanide-laced Kool-Aid, forced child labor, rape, suicide, and murder. Every man, woman, and child on this earth has his own stories to tell. And we te ll them incessantly to each other and to ourselves. We tell endless stories abou t our needs, wants, desires, expectations, troubles, frustrations, and successes , to our friends, families, children, co-workers, strangers that we meet, anyone at all who will sit still long enough to listen. "You can write a book on every man who has ever lived And still not comprehend all that life can give. Everybody's got it, But nobody gets it!" No two people are the same. No two people live the same life. Our backgrounds ar e different, our environments are different, our bodies are different. Our taste s, motivations, and dreams vary, often from day to day. Therefore, no two people have the same story to tell. And yet, though different as different can be, we are all the same. Each of us i s tapped into a seemingly mysterious power that dwells inside ourselves. It form s the basis of our entire lives whether we ever become consciously aware of it o r not. Most of us never realize that this Wisdom can only come from Inside. We t end to ascribe these feelings of certainty, that we all have, to outside entitie s. We fail to take responsibility for our own gains and failures. About a year ago a life-long friend of mine came by and saw me writing on this s ite, then went home and read it himself. About a week later he came back and sai d, "You know, I knew your grandpa better than you did. He used to come to my dad 's pool hall and play dominoes, so I got to know him pretty well. And he wasn't like any of those stories you wrote about him. Either he made them up, or you di d!" Even my wife of 38 years says, "Where do you get that crap!?!" She is a born-aga in Thumper, who believes everything important has already been written in the Bi ble, and that everything else is either redundant or a lie. My grandpa, Preacher Hoover, though he was a very public man, giving thousands o f sermons throughout his career, never told anyone else about the Perakee, as fa r as I know. When I questioned my mother, after his death, she had no idea what I was talking about. I have tried to follow in my grandpa's footsteps. Though I go to work every day, having met many met many thousands of people in my life, I have only spoken abo ut the Perakee to a trusted few. And until I started writing on this site, I hav e never told the story. Indeed, I have yet to tell the whole story.

I stopped writing on this site when I started receiving emails offering to help me turn my writings into a money making proposition. These teachings were freely given to me, and I give them freely to you, to use as you see fit, for no other reason than I enjoy telling stories to those who enjoy listening to them, the s ame way my grandpa did, the same way his grandpa did. Toh told them around the c ampfire, Preacher Hoover flung them from the pulpit, and now I use the internet. Different words, different venues, same stories. Something has been pushing me these last three years to write more. A part of me says, "You have so much more to tell." Another part of me says, "You have told too much already!" I found out recently that I have not much longer to live. My doctor told me that if I don't stop drinking, smoking, and chasing wild women, I probably wouldn't last another 40 or 50 years! So if I am going to write anything more, I better g et started. It will probably take me that long to finish. So, let me make a deal with you, one that maybe we can both live with. Take a ja r and write 'Perakee' on it. If you read a story that helps make a little sense out of your world, stick some money in your jar. When you get enough in it, go b uy yourself a good meal. You worked hard for it, and you deserve it. OK, then. Gather around the fire. The pipe has been lit and offered to the four corners. Hear my story...... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FINDING BALANCE Elder's Meditation of the Day - June 4 "Wakan Tanka never stops creating." --Archie Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA The Medicine Wheel teaches about change. It says that which is created will fall apart; that which is loose, will be used to create new. In other words, everyth ing on Earth is participating in a constant change that is being directed by an order of laws and principles which were originated by the Great Spirit. We human s are equipped with natural change abilities. We have the ability to vision; we can use imagination and imagery; we can change belief, attitude, habits and expe ctations. We need to know ourselves and we need to know how we work inside to en able us to change naturally. found at www.whitebison.com It never ceases to amaze me to read about the Yellow Energies of Man. Stories ca n be found from modern day Medicine Men of the Native American tribes to the anc ient writings of Sumeria, from Carl Sagan to Carlos Castaneda to U.G. Krishnamur ti, from the READER'S DIGEST to all the world's great religions. But they have n o idea what it truly is of which they are speaking. Many folks around the world from time immemorial have found balance. And when th ey do, they are amazed at what they find. The Yellow Energies begin to rise. The y were there all along, but they were overshadowed by the clamoring of the Red a nd Blue energies. It is like turning off a motor and suddenly hearing the radio playing. It had been playing while you were working, but you could not hear it o ver the sound of the motor. The Instincts are the go-between energies that connect the Earth Energies to the Life Force. They control all aspects of human behavior. But because they are so

misunderstood, they have been called everything from gods to demons to ascended masters. The Yellow Energies of Man are the Grandfather of the Perakee Way, the Father of Jesus, the Way of Taoism, the Tian of Confucius, the Nagual of Castaneda, but t hey are also the Lucifer of Satanists. The writings and teachings of folks who have found balance have led to an amazin g variety of religions, philosophies, sects, and cults. Buddhists feel that any person who has awakened from the "sleep of ignorance" (by directly realizing the true nature of reality), without instruction, and who teaches this Path To Awak ening to others is called a Buddha. Christians and Moslems feel their Enlightene d One is the one and only, and all who disagree are considered lost. "How much longer must we endure the priests of the world? When will we learn tha t there are not two million gods, or twenty thousands sects, or ten major religi ons...... but only one?" Eric Von Daniken (paraphrased) in CHARIOTS OF THE GODS? In the Mysteries, a person is taken higher and higher, by degrees, being shown m ore and more abstract symbols of God, until he is finally taken into an empty ro om, shown an empty box where a curtain is pulled aside, and a voice whispers, "T here is no God." Then, and only then, will he have risen to his rightful place a mong the stars. For no longer can he blame another for his failures, and he must accept responsibility for what he has done. source unknown The human need for a reason to live sprang up religion; that hierarchy where hum ans are no longer supreme, but must answer to a higher, judging, being. The idea that there is a greater one, expecting improvements, discourages the species fr om being satisfied with merely taking life and the world as it comes, but rather to improve. The older sibling expecting you to do it, and encourages you on the way, is an idea that forms the basis of many deities. These deities become surr ounded in more stories and myths, fleshing out hopes into "facts".....Thus the p aradise illusion/memory/myth common to much of humanity created an idea which ha s managed to drive countless wars, treaties, and treatises......The cultural mem ory is passed on generation to generation (l'dor va'dor); from mother to child. In the folk tales of princes and dragons and witches and goblins, we instill the ideas and memories of a people gone, yet still carried on into the present, and , ultimately, the future. Excerpts from Zarmvenius No one is saying that there is no ultimate authority or creator for the Universe . But it is rather obvious to any thinking man that whoever or whatever this BIG DUDE IN THE SKY is, It is far beyond the capability of Man to understand. How can it be otherwise?? Millions of pages have been written, billions of words have been spoken, trying to show Man the way to the godhead. And they have all failed. If this were not so, then the world would have found peace long ago. The re would be no war, no starving people in this world of plenty, no tyrants slaug htering the innocents, no greedy men enslaving and destroying the Earth for pers onal gain, and certainly no need for religion and government. Jesus was not a Christian, Buddha was not a Buddhist, Mohammad was not a Moslem. Each of these great men followed the teachings of their society until they came to the realization that all teachings can only take them so far. They came to un derstand that which no teaching can give only after they denounced the world and went into isolation: Jesus went into the desert; Mohammed into the cave; and Bu

ddha sat under a pipal tree. Each told their stories in the simple vernacular of their tribe. Billions have followed their teachings, even today. And you have o nly to look around you to see how much good they have done. Any man who calls himself a Master is not a master. Any man who says he is Guru is not a guru. Any man who proclaims himself a Nagual is not a nagual. Any man w ho says he is a Medicine Man is not a medicine man. These men and women are usin g what they have found to build a business out of it. They are only pilfering go ld and adoration from the masses. In the immortal words of my grandpa: "A man may call himself whatever he likes, but he still craps and farts!" The most any human being can hope for is to find their own balance. And no human agency can do that for them. All Finding Balance means is to allow all your Yellow Energies to rise by not al lowing your current favorites to control them. They are simple to understand, so very simple, and everyone knows what they are. They are: Breath, Hunger, Thirst , Sleep, Shelter, Pleasure, and Procreation. Without the fulfillment of these th ings, Mankind will simply cease to exist. They are the Instincts. Everything Man does revolves around their dictates. They control, ultimately, all Man does, ha s ever done, and will ever do while he is alive. If you have any doubts about this particular facet of the teachings of the Perak ee Way, then try a simple little experiment: Refuse to breathe, eat, drink, or s leep for 30 days. Pray to your particular concept of God to heal your sickness a nd pain, to protect your body during this 30 day period. If you are still alive, call me! We REALLY need to talk! The last Yellow Energy, while no less important, will take longer to test: Becom e homosexual, and convince the whole world to become either homosexual or celiba te, so the no babies are ever born again. Within one hundred years the human rac e will be no more....... But of course, the Red and Blue Energies, being much younger and full of piss an d vinegar, will haughtily cry, "No, no, no! We are the most important thing in t he whole universe! If you don't worship God, we will all die!!!! If Science does n't find a way to cure all Man's ills and discover the secrets of the Universe, we will all die!!!!!!!!!" Perhaps this is so. But one thing I can most assuredly tell you is: If Man doesn 't bring his Red and Blue Energies under control soon, we will most certainly di e. Religious war on a global scale, instigated by the Red Energies, will be a re al pain in the ass. And global domination through the New World Order advocates, instigated by the Blue Energies, with their policies of control and slavery, wi ll be no picnic either. Five times this has happened before, and each time resul ted in the destruction of the world as we know it. Each person is responsible for his own Balance. No other human being can do it f or you. You were born with the capability to do so. The Perakee Way teaches that to follow another man, for religious or philosophical reasons, is a total waste of time. The only way to find balance is to understand who and what you are. You are ENERGY! You are a combination of Earth Energy (the physical body) and Li fe Force! The maelstrom of currents flowing through you as a result of the these two great energies are the Red, Blue, and Yellow Energies of Man! The configura tion of these energies within you is a direct result of where your energy was dr awn from the Well at the exact moment of the Pierce of the Earth Arrow!

No two human beings are exactly alike. Therefor no one else can tell you how to balance your own energies. They are too busy trying to unravel their own. Simple . So very, very simple. Once the Red and Blue Energies stop fighting, when the struggle between Desire a nd Reason calms down, and they begin working together, the Yellow Energies begin to rise. They were there all along, but could not be heard above the din. And a s you come to understand these Instincts, these Racial Memories of Man, you will come to an understanding that is beyond normal comprehension. You will be amaze d and held in awe by what comes from deep inside of you. Some of you may become frightened and run away. If you are a deeply religious man, you may begin to feel that God is talking dir ectly to you. You may exclaim, "Wow! I am a Chosen One! I am sooooo blessed!" No , you are not, you are simply becoming balanced. You may scream, "Something is telling me that all I ever knew to be true is wron g! But I KNOW the Truth already! This thing must be Satan!" No, it is not, you a re simply becoming balanced. If you happen to belong to a Mystery School, you may feel that you have been con tacted by the Ascended Masters directly, and brag, "Wow! I know the secrets of t he Universe! I am now a Master!" No, you are not, you are simply becoming balanc ed. I am not saying religions are all bad. Far from it. There is much good that has come out of them. You simply cannot find balance by following them. But, once yo u do find balance, you will find that all the things the Avatars have said are s elf-evident! And, once you find balance, your true journey begins! ----------------------------------------------------------MATURITY Maturity may be the closest word in the English language that describes what the Perakee called Balancing the Energies. Young people, while learning to deal wit h the powerful forces that push to the surface from deep inside, those of their peers, and those of society at large, go through tremendous struggles with often hilarious, and sometimes tragic, consequences. Though there are priests and psy chologists to counsel us and police working overtime to keep us within the rigid bounds dictated by Law, Experience is truly the only gauge we have. By and larg e, most of us have no idea whether we did the right thing until after the smoke clears and we take stock of ourselves. "It's all fun and games til you lose an eye!" - an old hillbilly saying Learning to meet their own needs and control their own emotions in a socially ac cepted manner within the framework of their particular society is perhaps the gr eatest accomplishment most individuals ever achieve. At least then they will be left alone to live as they wish, with happiness and misery being the accidental byproducts of the choices they make. Each of us makes decisions based on evidence at hand; Only later, upon reflection, does guilt come creeping in. (Excerpt from WHAT WE HAVE DONE) But Balancing the Energies implies more than just a haphazard way of learning ho

w to use our energies correctly. Each of us is different. Therefore, there is no simple program of How To Balance Your Energies In Three Easy Steps. Only you kn ow how you are wired. Only you know which Energies push and pull you the stronge st. Only you know which ones cause you to negatively impact on your fellow Man. Only you can understand you. Only you can balance you! The proper use of the Energies of Man is as follows: 1) The Yellow Energies let us know when something needs to be done to ensure the continued safe survival of the Self. 2) The Blue Energies are our understanding of our options. 3) The Red Energies dictate which of the options we will choose. The Yellow Energies are on constant surveillance, always monitoring the body and surroundings, perpetually alert to danger. As long as the basic needs of Breath , Thirst, Hunger, Sleep, Shelter, Pleasure, and Procreation are being, or have b een, met, they are silent. But the moment something appears to threaten our continued survival, we are aler ted! When something interferes with our breathing we are signaled ASAP. All smells, b ecause they are caused by alien substances mixed with our oxygen supply, signal our immediate attention, to be cataloged and dismissed as of no danger, investig ated to ascertain the risk, or cause our fight-or-flight response to be triggere d. Thirst, Hunger, Shelter, and Sleep do not usually cause such an immediate respon se, nevertheless, those needs are brought to our conscious awareness and demand that we take care of them before they become critical. Pleasure, like Breathing, is an ongoing monitoring of our body and environment. If something causes us pain, we stop whatever we are doing and attempt to remove the source of the pain. If we do something and it causes us discomfort, we lear n not to do it again. If potential sources of pain are detected, such as a car o r forest fire headed our way, we attempt to remove ourselves from the danger zon e. Procreation implies far more than just having babies. This energy could be calle d Survival of the Species. In order to ensure the survival of our children and c hildren's children, Man knows that he must take care of the planet. He knows tha t he must ensure the survival of all plants and animals that we use as food. And Man instinctively knows that all things upon the Earth, both organic and inorga nic, are interconnected. One thing cannot survive without the survival of all ot hers. Therefore, it can be seen that this energy is not only the motivating fact or behind all medicine, science, and government, but also agriculture and conser vation as well. Man is constantly seeking ways for us all to exist together in h armony The Red and Blue Energies are, or should be, tools of the Yellow Energies. Once the Yellow Energies signal that one of our basic needs is seeking attention , the Blue Energies begin to outline the options we can take to fulfill that nee d. The tools used to carry out this task are Negotiation, Reasoning, Understandi ng, Knowledge, Logic, Compromise, and Utility. As each option is identified, the Red Energies make a choice. They can either ac cept, decline, or wait and see what else is available before making a selection.

The tools used to make these choices are Domination, Dominion, Battle, Drive, P ropriety, Order, and Imagination. Perhaps an example of this sequence of actions will help to make this clearer. L et's choose a common experience that we have all had many times: A guy gets hungry. His immediate options are 1) stop whatever he is doing and go eat right now, or 2) wait until a more auspicious time. Once the choice is made to eat now, the options are, possibly,: 1) eat something that is available in t his place; 2) go over to Mom's house and see what she has in the refrigerator; 3 ) go to a restaurant and pay to have something prepared; and 4) go out and kill or catch something to eat. The guy, for whatever reason, chooses option number o ne. The options then are to look in the refrigerator for leftovers, or look in t he pantry to see what he can prepare for himself. He chooses to look in the refr igerator first. His options then are leftover lasagna, or frozen chicken breasts . He chooses to not spend the hour it would take to fry the chicken, and the las agna looks like something left over from last year's Halloween haunted house. So he looks in the pantry. He sees a can of Spam, a dozen bags of Ramon noodles, a box of Minute Rice, and a can of cocoa. "Hmmmm, I think I'll go to a restaurant after all!" At that point the process starts all over again. He has to look at his options for reaching the restaurant (walking, driving, calling a taxi, ridin g a bicycle, etc), and then he must choose a place to eat, and then he must choo se from the menu what to eat. (Boy! It isn't easy being human!) However, most of these choices are automatic, having become routine over the yea rs, and so very little energy is expended on the sequence of events needed to sa tisfy Hunger. The options may change from person to person, from culture to cult ure, but the process is the same. A filthy rich person may have his maid prepare escargot or pickled duck fetus. An aborigine may have as his only options to ea t either grub worms or grasshoppers. A homeless person may have no options at al l: eat whatever he can find in a garbage can or die...... I think deep down inside you know exactly what I am talking about. Man's first p riority is to stay alive. Without Life Force, nothing makes sense: the fun ends, the machine goes to tilt, game over. The Yellow Energies are the things Man ins tinctively does to stay alive: Breath, Drink (water), Eat, Sleep, Shelter, Pleas ure, and Procreation. Pleasure, in this sense, is to steer away from things that cause pain, that can eventually lead to death. And Procreation is to survive vi cariously through our children. Animals do these things purely by instinct, though they have developed rudimenta ry Blues. You see a dog, for example, figure out how to get up on the table and get food. He remembers things that cause him pain, and figures out how to avoid those things. The Blue Energies are just beginning to rise in the animals: Negot iation, Reasoning, Understanding, Knowledge, Logic, Compromise, and Utility. "A cat will not jump on a hot stove twice. He won't jump on a cold one neither!" - Mark Twain Only Man has developed a third type of interacting with the world. The Perakee c alled this the Red Energies of Man, the Emotions, the Lunar Qualities. They have absolutely nothing to do with survival. They make absolutely no sense to Logic or Reason. You and I both could sit down and list literally thousands of things that are so illogical that they would be comical if Man did not take them so ser iously: War, TV, religion, wearing clothes in summertime, shaving, perfume, poli tics, arbitrary lines on the earth called 'national boundaries', bathing suits, monogamy, golf, dancing, alcohol, drugs, smoking, Kool-Aid, pro football, the li st is endless.

But the fact of the matter is that most of these things lead to a shortening of life, THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE INSTINCTS!!! Why? Why do we do these things? The Yellow energies are the basic instincts of Man. They are the common drive we all have and are behind all our behavior, ultimately. They are the things we HA VE to do to stay alive. Everything else, after all, is mox nix, bullshit, wasted energy, in the long run. Once the Yellow Energies dictate a necessary action, the Blue Energies offer the alternatives. They constantly seek better and improved ways to meet our basic n eeds. Once the alternatives are laid out for us, the Red Energies choose a course of a ction. Simple, so very simple. But it is our CHOICES that make or break our world! It is our CHOICES today that dictate our tomorrow! If we were to make all choices based on Logic and Reason, we would probably have a better world. Unfortunately most of Man's choices are made based on something other than Logic. We choose what we think will make us l ook better in the eyes of our fellow man, family, friends, society. We choose ac cording to the seeming dictates of an outside, higher authority. We let our peer s choose for us. We let the rigid bounds of our society narrow our choices down to a very few. Rather than letting our own energies draw logical and rational conclusions to th e input of data from our daily world, we blindly follow a dogma of laws, morals, philosophies, and religious dictates laid down for us by people we don't even k now, much less give a damn about, or give a damn about us. And those dictates ar e seemingly designed to lead us to make decisions that are bound to end in failu re. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." That is basically, all the re ligion, law and morality there really is anyway. Whatever you want to do in life , you can find a country, religion, or philosophy that justifies you to do whate ver it is that you want to do. Ultimately we are our own judge and jury, our own god, our own policeman, our ow n savior, our own whatever you want to name. ----------------------------------------------------------THE HYBRID ENERGIES OF MAN I have said that the Red and Blue Energies fighting over who controls the Yellow Energies is like two countries fighting over who owns the Earth. No matter who wins the asinine struggle for superiority, the Earth will still spin on its axis , and will continue to revolve around the Sun. But what will the Earth be after the fight? Will it continue to be a green and b lue ball, in all its pristine beauty, with all its life forms happily frolicking to and fro? Will it be a burnt ember, with charred flesh putrefying in the sunl ight? Will a higher race some day discover it and bring its children here to enj oy family vacations? Or will some alien pass within a few light years and exclai m, "What is that odor? It smells like somebody took a dump in a bowl of lasagna! "

In the same way, when the Armageddon that goes on inside each of us is over, wha t will our Self be like? If the struggle comes to a peaceful conclusion, then ha ppiness and peace on Earth will reign inside each of us. All our Energies will h onor each other and share the workload, each according to its own ability. But if the Blue Energies win, they will become a tyrant that controls with an ir on hand the Emotions and the Instincts, and the individual's world will become c old, gray, and cheerless. And if the Red Energies win, they will become a tyrant that controls with an iron hand the Reason and Instincts, society living only f or the fulfillment of Desire. Reason and Rationality will be ruthlessly suppress ed. You have only to look around the world today to see what I am talking about. The re is a terrible conflict going on right now between the Blue Energy of Science and the Red Energy of Religion! I called my grandfather into question when he asserted that religion was just a by-product of human desire, and he assured me that it is so. "No matter what you want to do in life, you can find a religion, sect, denomination, cult, or philo sophy that will cater to it!" If you want to run around naked, join a group of P agans. If you want to murder, join a Satanic cult that advocates human sacrifice . From child molesting to polygamy, from blowing up innocent people to self muti lation, from slavery to ritual orgies, you can find others who rationalize and j ustify your longings. A Christian who beats his children will say, "Spare the ro d and spoil the child!" A Buddhist who likes to steal will say, "Buddha provides !" When the Blue or Red Energy wins the conflict and begins to strangle the Yellow Energies and force them into slavery to fulfill the desires of the their master, the Yellow Energies continue to do what they were designed to do --- keep the o rganism alive --- but they have to struggle mightily to fulfill that task, often against the wishes of the Tyrant in charge! As a direct result of the mixing with the Red and Blue Energies, the Yellow Ener gies evolve into entirely new life forms, sometimes with hilarious results and s ometimes with hideous consequences. The Yellow Energies are no longer satisfied with the basics of sustenance ---Oxygen, Water, Nourishment, Sleep, Shelter, Ple asure, and Procreation. They demand more, much more. And the multi billion dolla r industries built to satisfy these hybrid energies have led the world to the br ink of destruction. Religionists and philosophers have been aware of this phenomenon since Man rose out of the swamps. The Catholic Church called them the SALIGIA: the Seven Deadly Sins--- gluttony, fornication, avarice, sorrow, anger, discouragement, vanity, and pride. All other religions and philosophies have addressed these strange and powerful tendencies of Man to become more than animal. They have been blamed an d praised for all of Man's downfalls and achievements. These hybrid energies have been cursed and laughed at, studied and rejected, use d and neglected, but they have never been understood. They are real. They are no t the result of some supernatural or alien influence. They are not evil. They ca nnot be killed, or controlled by religion or law, or governments or police force s. If suppressed, they will manifest themselves in weird ways beyond our compreh ension. It is the contention of the Perakee Way that they are a natural consequence of e volution. And the only way we can overcome them is to understand them, love them as a natural part of ourselves, and ultimately figure out ways to satisfy them without destroying ourselves in the process.

In Nature, the elements have come to band together in ever new and complex ways. Hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, a whole new substance, for example. Though there are only around one hundred elements identified, they have combined to form literally millions of substances that make up our world. In the exact same way, the 23 basic energies of Man have come to combine in ever increasing and complex ways to form entirely new energies. Breathing not only demands its usual quantity of oxygen, but it must be mixed wi th pleasing smells, and has led to perfume, incense, soap, deodorant, air freshe ner, and air purification. Thirst has led to alcohol, Kool-Aid, carbonated drink s, fruit juices, flavored milk, tea, coffee, cocoa, and a forty-billion dollar b ottled water industry. Hunger has led to cooked food, delicacies, confections, e xotic foods, spices, processed foods, junk food, and variation in appetite. Shel ter now demands we cover our bodies (simply for the sake of decency with its ant i-nudity laws), high rise apartment complexes, expensive homes, air conditioning , central heating, and locked doors. Sleep is now a thing of luxury with clean s heets, soft mattresses, separate rooms for sleeping with pleasing color schemes, and a billion-dollar sleep aid industry. Pleasure now dictates a forty-hour wor k week, labor saving appliances in the home and work place, TV and movie industr ies, radio and music, the arts, and greed ( the more money you have, the more of life's pleasures you can afford!) And Procreation has evolved into Orgation, the art of achieving as many orgasms as possible by whatever means available, with total disregard for its life besto wing properties. No one can even begin to guess how much money is spent by moder n human society on Sex, from pornography to cosmetics to acquiring sexual servic es to various sex aids to the power of sexual suggestion used in advertising for selling everything imaginable. Sex has been described as the prime motivating f actor behind all human activity. Its cost in human misery is mind-boggling --- c hild molesting, rape, homosexuality, broken and multiple marriages, abortion, dy sfunctional families, genital enhancement quackery, slavery, mutilation, manipul ation, the list could go on and on and on. And Procreation has evolved into another, equally devastating aspect--- War! Sur vival of the species, from the point of view of the Red and Blue Energies, not o nly necessitates having children, but removal of all perceived threats to the ch ildren. Whether the perceived threat comes from religious fanaticism or geopolit ical maneuvering, each tribe feels justified in attempting to eradicate the thre at, regardless of how many of their brothers and sisters must die. All these things, from air freshener to war, stem from imbalance within the indi vidual. Will Mankind learn to separate out these facets of being human and go ba ck to living according to his most basic instincts?
