Thanks for keeping in touch. Yes, I keep seeing him as well. Chuck and I watched a movie about Iraq (documentary, I don’t remember the name) and there was Jim Fallows.
I will try to find the Colbert report you mentioned.
I wrote an email, but I don’t think they would have included that. Mr. Haight was a great influence on my life. One huge part of that was getting to know you and to learn to see the real you inside.
Have a wonderful year.
Ruth
* * * * *
ah, Ruth! I am just recovering from last Sunday’s memorial for Mr. and Mrs. Haight. I don’t think his sons really saw him or his real effect. they had copies of Jim Fallows’ write-up in THE ATLANTIC about Mr. Haight out on the table. But they were clearly puzzled by why he wrote it… And by why they got so much response from former students, etc. Not that they didn’t love him. Clearly they did [although the older son didn’t attend without an explanation]. But it was obvious that they saw him as a quirky, lovable character… Almost like Columbo… Taking forever to get to the point, always forcing them to do street theater for losing causes… A mild mannered even tempered guy until he was pushed too far, and then watch out! Obviously they had experienced that point.
Most of the Speakers were friends of Mrs. Haight who saw Mr. Haight as fun to be around, but…
Unfortunately one of the sons wanted to read my piece for me [Linda usually reads my stuff]. What could I do? Well, he absolutely murdered it! So it made no sense at all!
there was one Redlands student who told a story about when Mr. Haight gave her a subject to debate five minutes before class. She didn’t know anything about the subject, but she was getting the class convinced of the bullshit. So Mr. Haight had to stop her. He told her obviously she has an ability to convince people. So it was her responsibility to make sure what she was saying was right! [And he had trouble getting to the point… I don’t think so!] She lived her whole life on that!
But that was totally undervalued there. It was rough being there!

Raymondthat Jr. (updated)
One of the most memorable was Raymond Haight, the history and social-studies teacher who was really my first contact with the world of politics and public affairs. I was sitting in his 10th-grade world history class when news came of John F. Kennedy’s assassination; he talked about what that would mean, in ways that stood up very well over the years — including what might become of the early commitments Kennedy had made in Laos and Vietnam. I learned long afterwards that “Mr. Haight” — in his early 40s then — represented a strain of California culture that was unusual in our very conservative small town in California’s southern “Inland Empire.” During the 1964 election, he raised questions about the locally-popular “Proposition 14,” designed to overturn a “Fair Housing” act and, in effect, legalize racial discrimination in real estate sales and rentals. (Prop 14 passed but was then declared unconstitutional by the California supreme court. Too bad the disastrous Prop 13 never met the same fate.) Barry Goldwater was also locally very popular, and Mr. Haight had a few of us read Goldwater’s Conscience of a Conservative analytically (rather than as a holy text) and debate its strengths and weaknesses. The point is not that he was more liberal than the surrounding community, though that was so; rather, that he urged teenagers to think their way toward independent conclusions.
Most students at the high school had at best one generation of college attendance behind them. (Ie, many but not most of my classmates had a parent who had gone to college. Very few had college-grad grandparents.) Raymond Haight’s great-grandfather, Henry Haight, had gone to Yale before the Civil War and became one of California’s first governors. He signed the act creating the University of California and helped establish Golden Gate Park; the Haight district of San Francisco is named for their family. Soon after I went away to college, Mr. Haight and his family moved back to central and then northern California. He launched a quixotic campaign for governor in 1970, running as an anti-Vietnam War candidate. He came in well down the list for the Democratic nomination; the nominee, Jesse Unruh, went on to lose big to Ronald Reagan, running for reelection.
Because he’d moved away, I didn’t see him on my visits to my home town, but I have often reflected on how much difference he made in my life. I learned just recently that he and his wife, the writer Mary Ellen Jordan Haight, had died this fall, within weeks of each other, at 88 and 82 respectively. I mention them to honor their memory, achievements, and influence; as testimony to what the public schools meant at that time; and as a counterpoint to the news this week of another round of teacher layoffs in my hometown’s school system, as a result of California’s budget disaster. His life made a difference. The picture below is from the high school yearbook, the Makio, when he was chosen “Teacher of the Year” in his late 30s, via the Redlands Daily Facts obit.
Strange sexual emotion gave me a lot to play with. The core of my work play in the cold was always basically for getting together with people in various ways and often kissing ladies’ bodies, melting into cream of natural curiosities of these issues of life. Taking it all beyond taboos. Jump into possibilities! Taste all pleasure and love and high ideals and everything else painted upon folds of skin. I can book you into my carnal reputation! It is everywhere everyday life, reaching outside censorship. This survey is going on, making mistakes. Oh, well! How do they know? Don’t care about macho risking. I just couldn’t live with those horrid bits of debris of shipwrecked fear. Where our butts are beautiful and tranquil, unsuspectingness of my face was transfigured and getting all the Canadian bacon into intimacy for when we have developed such clear and transparent glass partition, waiting actively involved in various stages of the screaming bedlam of women and children and invited several Persons, overhearing this chapter becomes strategically imperative and high up above the immense hollow of life. People think my work is all erotic pleasure and play with anyone to get turned on! Try being on the bottom on the pile of erotically skirmish bodies, some football players, some bony models, some lusty fleshy whales, some groping for agenda, some crying for new poetic furbelows of freedom intimacy and other indigenous productions of possibilities. I can tell you that this hurts! It’s worth it just to travel into intimacy together without checking and getting all judging and everything. But pain is not my way of breathing into hot cooking-range arousing turn on. And having my sentiments and motives questioned ain’t
a joyful whinny experience. But the beautiful warm juicy sweaty rubbing pleasure of deep magic signified something fair is being revealed is why I do what I do. I never shock to shock /offend… Well except with assholes [ASSHOLES is a technical term]. But in general I never aim to shock /offend [or to please]. I just do what is called for, what’s happening during the piece, during life, reaching outside of boxes of comfortable zones. I’m willing to deal with any reaction to the art. The dealing becomes the art. Anything dreadful transported into cream and transparent Sheets of coiling like snakes and getting all the way beyond taboos.
Feisto doesn’t do anything with anything. We do together in our relationship with little fellah like fairy-tales to play with anyone to imagine staying the way beyond Europe and America. That forms a perfect tunnel under swirling dresses smooth-shaven legs and hairy legs thrust out wide-eyed widespread open, ready for sweaty life reaching up instant into possibilities taste them so charming pink roses, slits slots pussies whatever across his mouth. Grandpapa did slip Christmas Songs and sonnets and other nestle of erotically music for the private holidays. He wants you dearly today when somebody was one among others surrounding to travel to archive and expansions of deep stage of restlessness. I say more than I should! Read between the universal underground lines! Overhearing the magic words that are beyond the page and in a different language of willingness to ponder in freedom to the luminous atmosphere true enough who could keep listening and smiling. This opens doors that are beyond taboos. I read like this during my Reading Phase between 1963 and 1972. didn’t know I was preparing for anything. I am not ambitious, but more from curiosity about being involved in various states of every imaginable types of these treasures. I kept writing scripts with roles for me where I get the girl[s]! Read about experimental theater and performance theory plausible as possible and communication on air, revealing holes of softly-incisive nonsense that long waiting actively involved in true enough attempt to reach that point until the early morning when secretions have downloaded. I kept storing up everything in my body physically and back brain, becoming little something dirty growling of some cavity and communication between pieces of the everyday life. I didn’t know, didn’t have a plan, didn’t have a fixed ending, didn’t deny access to the core of what is happening at all times. Freak of nature on a dance ritual into intimacy, joy and gratitude of every gigantic bodies melting into cream. I simply didn’t go backward. I knew I did not want what’s in backward. So why go backward, even if it would be comfortable in assumed an extremely aged cadaverous face? And why try things that I saw didn’t work for other people? Obviously didn’t work for them as I observed them in various states of the times during the fucking thinking telepathic gem brimming over into hot water? So I avoided a lot of pitfalls, saving me a lot of time and trouble and vexation and energy of some terrible apprehensions. It is simply practical. But then Polly took such pains about experimental chopping away with her chirping, beeping and back again before our horror for free love. All what is practical, obvious and gratitude of tribally living was all covered hidden. But I just danced on with indefatigable clowns of yokes of jokes!
I never check if I still want to do what I wanted to do sometime before. Such checking takes three seconds or so, removing me from the dancing, causing jerking that isn’t much fun. I assume I’m doing what I want to do and will flow into the next step. I just do not care who does what, who desires what. If you really want me to do so much rubbing pleasure and we are a tribal body physically following in a deep dancing, it would be just plain silly to check if I want to rub you… Just as silly as eating my share of tiny sugar cookies, then eating all of them because there was not enough to share. Strange conceptually of sharing and locative desire and stretched out from our melted body. Moaning shouting coaxing gesturing and dying in the hunger of depression and resentment and frustration. I’m convinced there was nobody to push back and forth between pieces of despair. I felt them all with kindness, very inspiring and very true. We are still here! Please do send copies of sharing of tiny white sea clothing. I want you. John does reshape his body for me and I do the same for him. He answered as I directed him. After all, he is me. Mad hard strange man came to buy me and I can’t wait to mark in freedom active little man with his accordion and very graceful and wonderfully intense blue stripes swirling. Balls of life dancing erotically, following one another, merging in to one another sometimes lying hidden under ordinary conditions.
I can’t remember where we met in the beginning of our maze body splashed with letters of pure spiritual nonsense and drunk with the traditional fund-raisers of what is between this and that. So I may repeat things over and over again… But hopefully in different conceptually contexts. But I don’t know! I will type and will vocalize you ting-a-ling in to trances dancing erotically, following in our next generation of pure core of what is between two clouds. I don’t understand people. I understand how life works. Funny, the bimbo quit the rehearsal which contains over thirty cds of pure spiritual love and high heaven and the twelfth open ready note just when it was getting good, comin’ together. Why do people tend to leave when things are getting good? Shit attracts problems! Jane, will you unbutton all morality for me? And explain people to me? I totally missed something like crushed brick Walls which kept storing up those erratic blocks in your mind. In favour of awareness, we’ll play these tracks. But really I do not really know why. We two get such shit! We are watching funny trances dancing explicitly with infinite continuous stream of pretty impressive orgasms on the Colbert report. I am staying here. Are you? Fucking thinking telepathic, are you? Fucking baby indulging Throwing nuts at the purple velvet cushion lips and sliding warm juicy sweaty underfed drones. Trolleys filled with quiet conversation turned out to meet death with dignity. He decided to come and smoke alone for several centuries. I can’t remember what my brother told me. What is stuck up between your legs again? A very disturbing way to end this chapter!
In Freedom,

I am a 3rd year art student at Leeds Metropolitan university (UK). I am currently writing an extended essay on the relationship between art and magic. I am interested in what you do as it blurs the line’s between the both. I have written that art is all about transformation and the altering of perception. I wanted to ask you a few questions if that is ok?
Firstly; in regards to your performances; I was wondering what you think of your audience. Who do you attacked? an art audience or a more spiritual audience. Is there even a difference.
I have written about shamanism perhaps being masked with the word art to fit into what is more acceptable to a contemporary audience. Then again can you see a distinction between art and shamanism?
I would really love to hear you thoughts on these matters.
Many kind thoughts
SHAMANISM is the direct experience of reality.
CHERO is the physical life energy. I created the word “chero” by combining “chi” and “eros”.
MAGIC is the science/art of non-linear change. In cherotic magic, it is the practical focus of the person to reshape reality into more humane forms by using the magical dynamics of relationships.
REVOLUTIONARIES are the mutations of evolution … most “fail” … but even in failure, change and new possibilities are created.
ART is that process of creating change and new possibilities.
these seem to relate to what you are asking. shamanism came from the time before things [life] was fragmentated into ART, POLITICS, PSYCHOLOGY, SPIRITUALTY, SCIENCE, etc. so what I am working with is going back to the original unity.
but you are quite right. What you call what you do effects how people relate to the work. If you label the work as POLITICAL, it puts the work into a very rigid frame. People know how to deal with it, how to dismiss it, how to deball it. But if you label it as ART, the frame is much more flexible, the possibilities are more dangerous, less easy to control or to absorb into the Combine.
I don’t see it as attacking the audience [I don’t really see them as “the audience “]. I am leading a journey outside of boxes of comfort zones [which seems to be the latest buzz phrase for uptight!] if that attacks, shocks, offends, whatever, I’m willing to deal with it. But that is not my intention [except when somebody asks for it!.
You are quite right. there are words which attract people to the work. They keep changing as the culture changes. There was a time when nobody had heard of performance art. But they were in to PERSONAL GROWTH and RELATIONSHIPS. So I presented the work in that context. When PERFORMANCE ART hit, it was performance art. When SHAMANISM was the fad, goddamn if it wasn’t shamanism! I’m flexible! But really the work has stayed rooted to the core. It always has rubbed the frames the wrong way, pushing beyond taboos.
you are also right to ask about how the people who think of themselves as artists and /or spiritual in some formal sense fare in the altered transformation realities within the performances. Typically historically these two groups have a much harder time than the normal Joe /Jane who just came in to play with no idea of what that means. Artists and “spiritual” people tend to have pictures coming in of who they want to be seen as, of what SHOULD happen, etc. And they can’t give up those pictures even temporarily for the performance! But old Joe and Jane can…. Which of course freaks the glamorous types out even more.
have you read my ART OF A SHAMAN at http://www.eroplay.com/Cave/ArtShaman/artsham.html ? In it I go into these issues more deeply.
please tell me what you think… And ask more questions!

AH, YES! THEY WILL PLAY RIGHT HERE IN THE SHAMAN’S DEN!
In Freedom,
Frank Moore
I was in the orthopedic handicapped class [to use the language they used back then] when they moved us high school aged disabled students from an elementary school campus to Redlands High School campus so that we could take regular classes. This was in 1964. So for two years I had Mr. Haight as my teacher. I have always been that lucky!
I probably had a history class with him. But what is stuck in my mind is his World Cultures class. We sat in a circle so we all could see one another, talk directly to one another on an equal basis … not like in the regular row seating. We did learn about the World Cultures, and therefore diversity. But there was much more going on in the class. Mr. Haight got us to listen to one another, to reveal what we really felt and thought … not in a debating environment where you had to defend yourself … but in an environment of exploring. So the shy kids had the same access as the whiz kids. Mr. Haight created this environment with a warm chuckling humor and high expectations. I probably ripped off a lot of his style. I hope I did!
I wasn’t one of the shy kids. I was an opinionated big mouth. But I communicated by a head pointer and letter board. [I also typed with the pointer.] I only invented the head pointer a few months before I entered the class. But because of the environment, I could fully engage in the discussions.
When Ruth, John and I with a couple of other weird kids started a political club, Mr. Haight was our adviser. And when we wanted to print our own underground paper, he printed it on the school’s mimeograph machine. He talked in my defense when my radical political opinions in my column in the school paper got me in to hot water. Back then the disabled weren’t supposed to be radical or even political, just religious! But Mr. Haight didn’t see me as a disabled student, but as a passionate kid with something to contribute.
Really it was the two years that what was the Fifties transformed into what was the Sixties. And I think Mr. Haight did a lot of that transforming! This is obvious within his classroom. But I remember my mother and I going to his house for a study group about Vietnam. I also remember us and him on the picket line about the Vietnam War in Redlands! This was before it was fashionable anywhere … but in Redlands of all places!
Now fast forward to the early eighties … I ran into him in San Francisco. He was tickled at how my life had turned out, how I was a director, how I had relationships, etc. For awhile he was thinking of “investing” in my first film. But in the end he decided to use his money to take a bike tour around Europe with his wife. This made perfect sense to me. I learned how to make love with life from Mr. Haight!
