Gary Lachman - Touched by the Presence: From Blondie's Bowery and Rock and Roll to Magic and the Occult https://www.patreon.com/posts/gary-lachman-by-139935811 A memoir of magic, rock and roll, and becoming who you are • Traces the author’s journey from bassist and founding member of Blondie to writer on consciousness and the esoteric tradition • Explores his involvement in Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way, Crowley’s Thelema, and his relationship with the bestselling author Colin Wilson • Reveals how an early love of comic books, science fiction, and fantasy led him to the esoteric tradition Not many members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are also recognized authorities on the western inner tradition. Gary Lachman is. In 1978, Blondie released the top-ten hit, “(I am Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear.” Gary Lachman (then Gary Valentine) had written the song for his girlfriend after the series of shared dreams and telepathic experiences they had. Thus started his life-long obsession with the potentials of consciousness. In this memoir, Gary recounts how he went from being a successful rock and roller to a writer on consciousness and the western inner tradition. He shares encounters with rockers such as the Ramones, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Iggy Pop and also Timothy Leary, William Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg. Living with Blondie’s Debbie Harry and Chris Stein on New York’s Bowery, a block from the birthplace of punk rock, CBGB, Gary discovered occultism via a follower of Aleister Crowley. Post rock and roll, Gary’s occult studies brought him to the Golden Dawn, Manly P. Hall, Gnosticism, and a stint in Crowley’s O.T.O. He details his time in the Fourth Way, including a visit to the site of Gurdjieff’s Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in France, and his years studying philosophy and literature and working as a Science Writer, while managing a famous metaphysical bookshop at the height of the New Age. Excursions to Stonehenge, Avebury, and Glastonbury in search of ley lines, and pilgrimages to Colin Wilson’s home in Cornwall, are a few of the highlights of this introspective, humorous account of a nascent writer’s struggle from rock and roll to individuation.https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DSV388DQ?s=amazon-pharmacy&keywords=gary+lachman&dib_tag=se&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&language=en_US&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ajVnikZk1ASD2hB_yHGOgRG_r4K8f8taQBQ0HwerNGR8hsoBx-57ZOXf2sRbxjQz8yA30dx2n31MJf3TzM5jNHz-qQOTv9LS6Ga-ShpN_BxrjY5h5PUB8HjlPCT0q0ofkNxp9ODOz-g69c7C0iXoNyRbkTSLhqE4J03_9JfWywRUIaJML6mHFvns8RuWWgqFAW-MZrgn-deX2Vp7Q07ebIYjNTFRcqnCHIFMScHYZ5s.iLrGGK9ug-lzo6k_YYa2AjrvERIc3A9tgEOGKmMw1kI&sr=1-1&linkCode=gg2&linkId=6aef75cf230578f430e169ea896108b9&tag=theopprep-20

A poem titled Touched on a gray background. It reads: sir, you are 55 i am only 14 he laughed, said that’s exactly how i like them nice & ripe you’re so beautiful you’re so mature your body so developed already you are just begging to be touched shut the fuck up you know you like it

This poem should disgust you.

#Touched

Last night I dreamed of corruption,
purple pockets of powdery dust
growing everywhere.

If you #touched or breathed it in
it took over your body
by way of your nervous system.

There was a pool of silvery light.
If you breathed it in
to coat your nervous system,
you became immune.

Poydras #touched the front of his helmet, opening his visor and deactivating the compscreen. He had to see this with his own eyes.

The great space port of Fondrin had been destroyed; its gaping maw that held hundreds of starships reduced to a burned-out husk.

I gotta readily confess
her quirky demeanor
was just what I needed
to escape the doldrums

My love's offbeat persona
#touched my funny bone
and brought humor
back into what was
a very grim life

Fifty years fast forward
the smiles still flow
from my comedy wellspring

As you approached, the air trembled with our nearness. You #touched my face and galaxies exploded within me.

The Titania was a #tall starship with the #purpose of taking the rich to luxury holidays on Saturn. When the comet appeared they tried to #port around it, but inevitably they #touched. There was no discrimination amongst the survivors this time though. There were none

Arthur sensed Neville’s hand on his. He didn’t know when Neville had #touched him, but now he felt its warmth. It was strange yet good. The heat of Neville’s skin spread up his arm towards his chest. He gulped. It wasn’t only the danger of the war that made him speak about his dad #vss365

It could have been a guest room, for all the personal items it contained. The only luxury was a rug of soft animal skins slung across the bed. Ro #touched it and shuddered. It was typical of the man that he should choose to wrap himself in the remains of the innocent dead. #vss365

Gil was #touched in the head, by his ex wife with a claw hammer, on Valentine’s Day. Now, he stalks Lovers Lane touching all the couples into comas and worse, with a collection old golf clubs.

#vss365 [1/2] She lightly #touched its head, brushing the sensory hairs around the base of the antennae. It cringed, but she persisted, using both hands, gently stroking all over the head, even along the antennae. It lay still, with the antennae vibrating under her fingers.

winter
has #touched me
as we long
for spring
the white
snowdrops
have pushed up
already
I'm beleaguered
with a cold
sore throat
cough
and snivel
my voice
has been hoarse
forever
the fish van
comes today
and they sell
bread as well
I meet for coffee later
my old friends
and I

An infinite expanse of impressions. Memories made upon a heart. An intricate map of pathways, where they start or end Who’s to know. Leading to a heart #touched by a wealth of moments. Remembered then caressed ever so. A patchwork blanket of intricate reminders Well worn and carefully sewn. *Black and white.

An infinite expanse of impressions.
Memories made upon

An intricate map of pathways
Where they start or

Who’s to know.
Leading to a heart
#touched by a wealth

Remembered then
caressed ever so.
A patchwork blanket

Every second of every day, his moments were made memorials to his grief, and the love that grew in the space of what he lost…

Gosh, I'll be sharing a handful of projects for #BluePit, which means I'll be sharing several projects' worth of art below!

First is the romantasy novella, #Touched (available now!). Here are the mood board, two #PosterPit posters, and a picrew of Erryn and Rolfe.

Not your mom's romantasy 🌶️... Or is it?

#Touched comes is 2 spice levels!

A family of royals aims for perfection and tradition, but a series of whirlwind romances could send the veneer of perfection and desire for tradition up in flames.

unfortunately he will be #touched 😔 but he will get cuddles and love afterward

I've found that I really like writing scenes where the characters are just losing their shit crying. It's so cathartic!

I went pretty easy on them in #Touched, though there is a scene where Erryn gets a good cry in 🥲
