The Last Days of John Lennon by Frederic Seaman, (Lennon’s personal assistant from 1979 until the time of his death)

Page 81

“Are you familiar with Kundalini yoga?” he suddenly said. I admitted that I was not. “If you abstain from physical pleasures, especially sex” – he took a quick drag of a joint and held it for a moment, exhaling thick smoke into the dimly lit living room -  “there’s this substance at the base of the spine” – he coughed and passed me the joint – “it’s like a tightly wound up coil.” I took a small puff, struggling to make sense of his disjointed talk. “If you fast and stay celibate for a long time,” John continued, “It uncoils and shoots up the spinal column.” I passed what was left of the joint, and John took another hit before resuming his rambling monologue.
“You can achieve different levels of spiritual awareness depending on how high this fluid goes up your spine, you see.” I nodded. “If you abstain from food and sex for long enough,” John said with mounting enthusiasm, “this stuff shoots all the way up into your head – and that’s where you become clairvoyant!”

How sad….

This is revealing and sad account of the last days of John Lennon’s life. If you’d like to find out the truth about the extralordinary possibiliies afforded by true Kundalini awakening, begin here by experiencing it for yourself:

Tony O'Malley

OK, I’m biased, but why blog if you’re not? I met Tony about 20 years ago or more and we became lifelong friends. Tony’s been a professional musician since the age of 13. See him here with the pop band Arrival on Britain’s Top of the Pops – he’s the keyboard player:

Arrival played the legendary Isle of Wight Festival, Miles was there, and Dylan too. Later, Tony formed Kokomo, one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen, with him as lead singer, the incredible Dyan Birch, Frank Collins and Paddy McHugh as backing singers. Dylan brought them to New York to be his backing band, after The Band split from him, but it never worked out, and the tracks they did with him, I think, were never released.

Kokomo

Tony is a great songwriter, listen to this great song, Spend Some Time, which he co-wrote with Keef Trouble*  – and it showcases Dyan Birch’s voice at its brilliant best:

You can hear a lot of Tony on youtube.com – my favorite there is Kokomo’s version of the Bobby Womack classic, I Can Understand It, which is in two parts, part one being:

and he has his own website too -  www.tonyomalley.com

And, here he is in Georgia’s competition to find a song for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest – proof than a true artist can turn base metal (the ghastly Eurovision Song contest) into gold:

The tall, young red-haired girl is 16 and really talented, says Tony.

And some of Tony’s new babes:

Brett Marvin & the Thunderbolts.

And a nice interview Keef made with drumming legend Andy Newmark, who played
on John Lennon’s last album and quite unusually, talks a little about Lennon, very interesting for Lennon
