Unbelievable (2007-2008)
A new website, YouTube channel, Blogspot, and MySpace ... all for a school
that all of a sudden decided it was a Tibetan Buddhist "monastery" ... knowing
what I know firsthand, I'm at a loss what to say, except sorry I devote so
little time to this site to keep the public aware of what is going on.
But I got my badge of honor ... one of their students, Donald J. (omitted for
privacy) -- someone who otherwise I'd just as likely have ended up best friends
with now that I researched him -- did the typical cult response I've seen a
million times: I'm jealous; I shouldn't talk about things I (supposedly) don't
practice; I'm projecting my own neuroses. Always attack the attacker (see
Scientology's "Dead Agent" tactic) ... and he ironically accuses me of lacking
Buddhist ethics. Under the circumstances, I easily forgive you, Donald,
and if you're reading this, you'd be better off coming over for tea than talking
so out of place like you have without taking the time to get your facts straight
about me and what I know firsthand. I think you'd be pretty surprised if
you knew my spiritual history, including before I met David.

Please note that working on this site is not a personal priority,
but I will add information or fill in the spaces if there are any specific
requests.
Oh, and I fixed the guestbook. It was "attacked." Sorry about any
inconvenience in viewing it previously.

News Flash: Within weeks (perhaps days) of us linking to the
"official" Song Mountain website, they took it down. This is
the second time their site just up and disappeared from the web. There
is talk of a new site/location, redesigned a bit, but for now we will shortly
post a copy of their last Geocities site.
ALSO, a posting of feedback from over the years, good and back, will be
archived here, including emails from schools and styles David claimed to have
learned -- even a representative of the family that has use of the name Penjak
Silat Serak. (Pardon the spelling if it's wrong ... I'll
double-check it next update when I'm not so busy!)
