village. He wrote A Book of Five Rings: The Classic<br />

Guide to Strategy.<br />

Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha strongly influenced<br />

me. It’s the story of a young brahmin who becomes<br />

a wandering ascetic, meets the Buddha but<br />

chooses not to follow him, learns the ways of the<br />

world from a courtesan and a business man, then becomes<br />

a ferry operator. It was made into a beautiful<br />

movie.<br />

A hippie, biker type named Jubal helped at the<br />

café. He introduced me to many occult things like the<br />

hollow earth theory, UFOs, alien colonization of earth,<br />

etc. I saw a number of UFOs on Maui. Once, a group<br />

of people watched the sunset at the beach in Lahaina.<br />

We saw a flash of light in the sky. Rather than spread<br />

out evenly, it looked like an ethereal V2 rocket coming<br />

at us sideways. It got bigger as it approached; then, it<br />

vaporized above our heads. We all saw it and couldn’t<br />

explain it.<br />

A local psychic predicted that a tidal wave bigger<br />

than the one that sank Lemuria would hit Maui at<br />

a certain time. He said the only really safe place was a<br />

cave on the rim of Haleakala Crater at 10,000 feet. I’m<br />

not a big believer in psychics, but it sounded like fun<br />

to go check it out.<br />

I drove my old Plymouth Fury up a rugged<br />

dirt road. A rock cut my tire. After changing it, I continued<br />

on to the summit. Near the summit, I came<br />

upon the psychic walking down. He asked if I could<br />

give him a ride. I said, “I thought you predicted a<br />

huge tidal wave tonight.”<br />
