8-8-88 HARMONIC DIVERGENCE 8-8-88

In 1987, José Argüelles copyrighted a book called THE MAYAN FACTOR, "Path Beyond Technology",
published by Bear and Company, PO Drawer 2860, Santa Fee, NM 87504. In his book, and on lecture
tours, Argüelles promoted a scheme in which anyone who wanted to connect with a supposedly real
Galactic power beam from the Galactic Center should converge at determined power spots all over the
Earth when the beam is strongest, a date calculated from an ancient Mayan calendar that Argüelles had
access to. So, on August 16-17th, 1987, hundreds, maybe thousands of people, mostly "new Agers",
meditators, the Spiritually oriented, believers, experimenters, etc. converged "harmonically" at suggested
power zones, or any place of their choice, all over the earth for a period of meditation, celebration, or
revelry in order to somehow connect with this power beam. What happened?

To celebrate this event, and continue on with the flow, and balance, I suggest this year on August 8, 1988,
from 8:08 a.m. to 8:08 p.m. a day of Harmonic Divergence, a time to celebrate Nothingness. This will be
a period in which all who choose may go Nowhere in Particular, in order or disorder, to celebrate
Nothing, by doing nothing, according to Will. It is a special time to celebrate Nothing in your own way.
Your way. This will be an historic day, a first time that people individually, and in groups, all over the
Universe, can get together (re-link) to do as absolutely as possible Nothing. The Harmonic Divergence,
to diverge from doing Something by the mass doings of Nothing. A time to experience being, as if in the
center of a Hurricane, the EYE of the hurricane. Those who participate will be grateful to those who
cannot, those who feel that they should or must do something so that others may worship nothing during
this sacred period.

PREPARATION:

Between Now and Then, I suggest to all who will to obtain a blank notebook "Journal", similar to the
"Nothing " book on sale at many bookstores, a book consisting of blank pages with nothing on them, i.e..
no words, lines, marks, symbols, etc. I believe that most people know very little about Nothing, and
therefore recommend that up till the moment that we choose to do Nothing 'together', the day we
DIVERGE from something, that the something we do is to study Nothingness. This we do for nothing.
What is Nothing? How does your god differ from nothing? Is God Something? If so he/she is limited by
its description. What does it mean that everything comes from nothing and shall eventually return to
nothing? Will something happen when we do nothing? Can we worship nothing? (Doing nothing is the
Formula of the Vision Quest - to do Nothing until we "see" Something that we choose to do.) Can we eat
nothing? Live on nothing? Everything that we feel that we must do, to get done before we can experience
nothing should be done before we enter this special moment. This is so that we don't suddenly have other
desires, desires that will generate thoughts and confuse our minds and thus prevent us from thinking
nothing. Remember, there is nothing to do, nowhere to go, to be where we are. If your back itches, have it
scratched before you do nothing. If, during the Divergence, you are troubled with things to do, write the
distractions down in your Journal so that they can be dealt with later. Read your Scriptures, your Sacred
books, and see what they say about nothing. What do they say about God? How do they differ? Write all of
this down in your Journal.

WHERE TO GO:
I suggest Nowhere (Now/Here). One of the power spots suggested during the Harmonic Convergence is
at the Indian Burial Mounds. The mounds that I know are Indian garbage dumps, a place that people go to
bury or dump their garbage. This is a good place to dump something, and to get rid of all junk in order to
experience Nothing. Where is a garbage dump where you live? And how about cemeteries, where bodies
are doing absolutely nothing, or rather decomposing into nothing? Isolation tanks are nice. Maybe
nothing is happening at your church, or temple, or home - all fine places to go. Find a void and enter it. If
nothing happens, good. There is nothing to it. Nothing works, and your reward will be nothing. As with
the Harmonic Convergence, the Harmonic Divergence is all for nothing. How does this make you feel?
(Remember, even this is something.) Write it all down in your Journal. On the day of the Divergence,
write nothing. Describe nothing, experience nothing, know nothing, see nothing, be nothing, wear
nothing, think nothing, love nothing, fight nothing, eat nothing, take nothing, give nothing, pay
nothing....

A NOTHING RITUAL:
Stand up, alone or better with as many others as you can be with. Get close together and wrap your arms
around each other so that if you lose consciousness you will be able to hold each other up. You may find
this to be impossible. Breathe deeply together, sucking in all the air that is between you, and at someone's
suggestion, hold your breath, count to three, let your air out, relax, let go, do nothing...

LET GO AND LET GOD.

THE BULL MANTRAM FOR CLEARING YOUR MIND.

This was channeled to me by my teacher AZO, for all things come from AZO. (Others may know AZO as
"Baj", as in Gar"bage".) All communication systems, and hence intelligent life forms, work on this
system:

The diagram should be self-explanatory, the decision making process area is the intelligent life form, you,
me, whatever. Everything that comes into you from "Out There" is call Input. Everything you see, feel,
hear, think, taste, experience, etc. is input from some Output. Everything you give out is your output.
Feedback is more input that is varied (dependent on) output. AZO calls all output "Bull", or "Boll", or
"Bol". To AZO it is a sacred (derived from 'secrete') word, in fact, the word, THE WORD of our world.

Ideally, a healthy system is one in which there is a perfect flow. OUTPUT equals INPUT and Nothing is
withheld. Otherwise there is constipation (a holding back), unbalance, and unease. The BULL Mantra is
designed to open the flow.

The BULL Mantram is in a way another Nothing Ritual, designed to eliminate as much stored BULL as
possible, leaving nothing behind, especially in the brief moment that the mantram is spoken. It is good to
say before proceeding with the Harmonic Divergence on August 8th, or at any other time as one feels the
need. Especially at any other time.

So how does one do the BULL Mantram? First it is necessary to diverge a little bit. I am a High Priest of
the (Universal) Cult of the Living Bull. This means that it is my obligation and duty to teach and spread
the WORD of this age (The BULL-eon, or Golden Age). I was taught by AZO, the Holy One. At the time,
I was a Virgin - I hadn't done it before. After I received the WORD, I was told to teach it to others, that I
shouldn't speak the WORD in vain, but to pronounce it to and with other Virgins, others who haven't
done it either. Therefore I must explain to those who wish to learn the Mantram that the first time is the
most important - that the place, the time, and the people should all be considered before doing it. Or one
may wish to do it alone. It is always good to do it, especially for one who hasn't done it before, with
someone who has, i.e.. with a High Priest or High Priestess (Sacred Chao). Also, doing it in groups is fun,
the more the better. And we do it for Nothing. We need Nothing to live. We have nothing to live for. The
best things in life are free. There's no charge for the Charge. So for those who wish to do the BULL
Mantram, but have no one to do it with, or to teach them, here's how it is done:

THE BULL MANTRAM:


Take three deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling as much as possible. On the fourth breath, during
the inhalation, imagine everything that has ever come into you, anything having to do with coming
into you, anything that should have come into you, or may come into you, or will come into you.
Imagine this.

Then, holding your breath, think of all the things that you have done with whatever has come into
you, what you should have done with what has come into you, or what you will do with what may
come into you. Think about this. After a long time, on the EXHALATION, shout BULL at the top of
your lungs, as loud and as deep and as primal and as long as you can, letting go of everything that is
inside of you. Let go. Become Nothing.....DIE.

If you have done this, then you are now a certified High Priest/Priestess/Chao in the Cult of the
Living Bull. You know the living WORD and it is now your obligation and duty to teach and spread the
WORD to new Virgins everywhere.

Do this before the Harmonic Divergence and stay in this space for as long as you will. You now (if you did
the Mantram-- only you can do it, no one can do it for you, and it must be done in order for you to have
the “experience” to be a High Priest/Priestess) can share your BULL with others, and have full authority
and responsibility in being a Living Bull Cult Member, under AZO, to recognize, know, and label the
BULL you experience from others.

Our Message

Our WORD is 'BULL' and we love to say it, and acknowledge it in others. Sharing our BULL, especially
during BULL Mantrams with other H.P.'s and new virgins is an experience hard to describe. If you are
fortunate to come across a BULL pin, or better if an H.P. gives you one, by all means put it on and wear it
proudly. Here are names of some of the archetypal BULL figures:

Honora, Consta, Para, Remarka, Sugar, Terri, Rose, Beara, Cotton, Horri, Papal, Fae, Incredi,
Infalli, Varia, Mar, Abe, Tra, Reb, Bab, Tre, Drib and Drab, Rab, Rub, Bub, Syb, Fabe, Stum, Fum,
Rum, Tum, Ho, We, Dum, Stub, Istan, Hanna, John, Marill Lynch, War, Stay, Doub, Tay, Rye, Lie,
Cabe, Labe, Wa, By, Moe, No, Stay, Bum, and Babe.

You will see more as time goes on. AZO says Nothing dwells in you as you. This is all for nothing, and
there is nothing to it. We are all BULL- machines, we take in BULL, do something with it, and hopefully
let it all go. “You can't take it with you”, Azo says. Hence it is best if you can do nothing about it, add
nothing to it, and best to leave it alone. ALONE. ALL ONE.

So - why does the world exist? The chance, the probability of it being the way it is is infinitely small, but
because it is probable, as small as it is, IT IS. It is that it is. This is the great secret revealed by AZO.
Amen.
The Will of AZO is to make the WORD known throughout the world. Align your little will with the
WILL of AZO, define your purpose, and enjoy the adventure of being an evangelist, a Living Messenger
of BULL.

Isn't He the cutest God you ever saw? The only God we know that runs on Eveready....
And as you know as a member of the Cult of the Living Bull, the BULL keeps going and going and
going and going....

have passed through "The Ordeal" .
