Sir Arthur C. Clarke died happy after seeing your crop-circles film, feeling that FINALLY there was proof of extra-terrestrial intelligence!

Dearest Suzanne - I was Ram Das’ “pot doctor” making him legal when he needed to be! (Also for Thich Nat Hanh) and I’m working on freeing the sacred medicine here in Sri Lanka, now that it’s legal in Thailand and other places! Ram Das loved my singing, I humbly submit. What a sweetheart was he! ❤️🌈🧘🏼‍♂️

You were so lucky. I never got that close. The first time I saw him I tried to follow him but he said he didn't have followers. We sent little notes to each other every once in a while till he said he wasn't writing back to people anymore and his new policy was to fling what people sent into the ocean for some explanation I don't recall. A delicious, fallible man.

There was a donut meeting in New Orleans which he attended, and I have a lovely picture of me straddling his wheelchair (after his stroke) in full drag! It’s on my website www.danielsusott.info under “friends” where you’ll also see jim Hormel.

I wish we could post pictures here. That's a knockout! As is the one above it. Seeing you with Arthur C. Clarke I thought about someone giving him my crop circle movie for him to help get it seen, only to have him die right after that -- and then I remembered that that someone was you!

Sounds like you're suggesting the kind of chat that two friends would have before going to bed; letting the ideas flow and grow so that they also wake up in the morning with even more ideas!! Sounds great!!!

You could do a call to action to solicit questions that you can answer for your followers. People love a Q&A. You can look for the questions you want to answer, so they're not a surprise. Maybe theme the episodes so the questions are all pointed to a similar conversation/topic. You could also zoom in the people who are asking so that you have a one on one instead of just talking to camera.

Sounds like I could use a producer. Since you are an Emmy Award winner you are very qualified, so how's about you take the job?

I second this idea. Maybe one of those live Youtube Q&As and do them once a week.

You know I'm not setting myself up as an authority or expert that would make Q&A reasonable. What I have in mind is something unique that maybe you could compare to Roosevelt's Fireside Chats, where he was cheerleading from the heart. If a format I was in supported interaction, I could see callers sharing rather than asking questions, where just as I was speaking from my heart the callers would speak from theirs.

Sharing, as in having an actual conversation!! Wonderful - that's exactly what I think too - the heart of communication being conversation amongst like-minded people (friends). And again - growing ideas (planting seeds) xxx

The way the Universe Story, our pending new creation story, tells it, the whole evolutionary process has been relationship. Even the one-celled creatures, the first expressions of life, bumped into each other and united to create more complex life. All along it's been progress by interaction. Very much not all good -- if terrible, then more interaction to overcome that, and as we bump along we're not having enough of that now. Maybe the late night show is just conversations!

It's an interesting approach. It could foster a more intimate and meaningful connections and allow for genuine conversations and the exchange of personal perspectives. It's a refreshing take on could resonate with people. But how do you do that in a tiktok world?

More Intelligence please!

It shocks me how intelligent the Intelligence is. It was so simple just to be quiet and let my pen move, and that it wrote what it wrote stuns me. True confessions, I frequently had a hit of marijuana, which to this day opens cracks in my cosmic egg and shows me higher order thinking. Ram Dass, a great hero of mine, in his first public communication after his stroke encouraged thinkers to reveal how important marijuana was to making them wise, and I am revealing!
