Mark McMahon Author-Live your adventure

      Tucson’s Own Indiana Jones Shares his Enlightening Experiences

Enlightenment and entertainment Friday February 6th at TMC’s Marshall Auditorium.

      Tucsonan Mark McMahon experienced a spiritual awakening that catapulted him onto a life-changing solo driving odyssey to the southern tip of South America.   Since then his life’s work has become waking people up to the adventure of their own lives.   He wrote a book recounting his adventures and sharing some of his metaphysical experiences.   The electrifying speaker and former stand-up comedian is developing a reputation for his irreverent approach to spirituality.   “I‘ve been having blast with all kinds of groups, churches, re-hab centers, you name it.   Just put me in front of ‘em, I’m ready to rip ‘em a new spiritual asshole!” says Mark.

       In the lecture he will teaches his patented Three Minute ‘Mmm Good!’ Meditation that he claims “…works like a charm, even for people who have never been able to meditate before.”   Join him as he presents principles and practical steps that you can apply to your life to help focus and manifest your passions.

      McMahon will be the keynote speaker for the IONS of Tucson Monthly Meeting.   The normally staid and studious Institute Of Noetic Science focuses on science and spirituality.   They may be in for a surprise this month.

      The meetings often fill the Marshall Auditorium at Tucson Medical Center beginning at 6:30 pm, the first Friday of each month.   This one could prove to be standing room only.   Institute of Noetic Science Monthly Meeting Keynote: Mark McMahon, Live Your Adventure   Friday February 6, 2009   6:30 PM   Open to the public   Suggested donation $5 to Institute Marshall Auditorium, Tucson Medical Center,   Grant Rd. at Craycroft

Randy Ford Author-on Black Snow in Vienna

      Black snow?  Was this real or not?   People in Wien (Vienna), after all, used coal to heat their homes; and Wien, though beautiful and ugly, a city bewitched by history and music, magnificent buildings and wide boulevards, had streets lined with tenements that were anything but picturesque.   It seems at least possible then that when it snowed it turned black as it came down.   This is another example of how I have trouble separating what was true and what was not .   In this case, I distinctively remember black snow; I had an explanation; and I was the one there.   Who can dispute what I saw?

      Now back to what we know for sure: there were certain recorded facts.   We know that year (1972) the second snow in Wien didn’t occur until the end of January.   We also know what such a mild winter meant, that the seeds of the winter crop froze because there was no snow to protect them.   But what made us experts about crops?  We didn’t grow up on farms. 

      There are things we know and things we don’t; what is true is more than likely logical; what is false is more than likely not (or illogical).   Given that, we know then that the scarcity of snow hurt the ski business, which usually attracted a lot of foreigners.   (Now wait a minute, what about snow making machines? The ski business would still be hurting, wouldn’t it?)  Now about that black snow.   You sort of have to take what I say as true until you run across a contradictory statement such as this from a letter written that winter from Wien: “Even Randy and I are pleased to see it turning white.   If it’s going to be cold and grey anyway, we might as well have some snow.”  It was cold.
