Hell, I&#8217;ve missed her for years since leaving! first read she&#8217;s passed, I cried, and remembered some really fond memories. What an enjoyable person she was &#8211; to me.

				It has been an interesting day in that Mia Lon went home today completing a long and difficult path. I remember her exuberance when she sang, she loved music so well. If there was ever anyone who understood Oneness, it was Mia. She will be missed and she will always be with us blessed being that she is.

				When i saw the picture of MIA LON, I saw the love in her eyes that I remember in the old days in Morningland. That symbolized what the people felt and how we all hoped for a better world. The feeling of love and togetherness will never die for us and in MIA LON&#8217;s passing, I can see that her hope is eternal. We are all living proof that no group or cult or organization will ever break our spirit, or stop us on our travel along the path. Morningland was (for a lot of us) a small OASIS along the way where we stopped and rested and took a drink. And we gave encouragement to each other as well. MIA LON is a very loving soul and she gave freely of her time and her love. I know that my life is much richer for having known her.

				PS. Put in a good word for me with the big dude okay???

				Of course, mia Lon had been on my mind all week. I&#8217;m so glad I followed my inner direction and got a phone message through Sunday morning, as it turned out within a half hour before she left us.!
			</p>
<p>
				I knew her both within and outside the organized Morningland activities and, as I think of her, I get more words and scenes than complete thoughs: creative, courage, enthusiams and joy in whatever she was doing, devotion, loyalty, humor, music. . .
			</p>
<p>
				Such were my thoughts on Friday morning during the time her funeral was going on when there came a completely different thought beam that stopped me in mid-stream and, I think, was a real verification of the bond we all share. I didn&#8217;t hear her voice but I&#8217;m sure these were her words: &#8220;Girl, what are you doing? I&#8217;ve never been better than I am now and you haven&#8217;t heard the last of me! No get on with your own life and celebrate me.!&#8221;
			</p>
<p>
				Darling sister, that&#8217;s just what I&#8217;ll do. My life is blessed because you were, and are, in it. Life, and love, and growth and music are all forever and I know you are going on ahead of us to work you&#8217;ve chosen to do. We all go on together!

					She says she was healed of epilepsy. The doctor&#8217;s gave her 6 months to live, that was in 1974. So, her testimony is pretty incredible

					We were in the throne room once&#8230; A few of us just talking in the rear. She (Mia Lon) was relating a story to us about some new person or someone who had used the word &#8220;TAY-row&#8221;&#8230; Rather than pronouncing &#8220;tarot&#8221; the way we did (tugh-ROW) she pronounced it &#8220;TAY-row.&#8221; Mia lon said that according to Sri, this indicated that this tarot person was of the other side. Because she pronounced it differently.

					in the celtic tradition, in the covens and weyers, when a relative or magical partner would pass, the other members of the group would gather soon after and take out a basket of yarns, all different colors, thicknesses and lengths. Each person would take a piece of yarn and a scissors, and remembering some part of the person who had passed, cut the thread that tied them to release the spirit to travel freely to it&#8217;s next life. The pieces of cut yarn would be burried in the earth afterwards. I found this relevant as an ancient form of recapitulation &#8211; giving the gift of freedom to the departed spirit, while retaining their own energy as those still living. They&#8217;d cut as many cords as they could identify and name, telling stories, etc. It was a time of great grief and great sharing of the soul of their loved one who had departed. When it was done, it was done. A simple ceremony with profound results, for a simple people of a more simple time.

There was a lot of sadness as well as happy energy throughout the proceedings. During the viewing on Thursday, Deyani said that the mortician really did an excellent job reconstructing Mia back to a resonable likeness of herself. Apparently her face was all sunken in, and her limbs were black, and they fixed it all! Deyani was able to speak before the group about a side of Mia Lon that they never knew. The Morningland side. The side of her that reflected her selfless ways of compassion for people regardless of who they were or what they were doing in their lives.

<h1>
Mia Lon&#8217;s Healing Testimony<br />
</h1>
<p>
Six years ago, the doctors gave me six months to live. I was an epilieptic. For 35 years, I could not do what people do every day, day to day and take for granted. I couldn&#8217;t drive a car. Roller skating, surfing, any kind of sport, dancing, amusement park rides, swinging around in a circle, having a job in the work-a-day world &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t do any of this. I wasn&#8217;t capable of making a living for myself and had to depend upon disability. I was totally disabled, not capable of the mental and physical functions of day to day life.
</p>
<p>
My day to day life was one black out after another. I&#8217;d be alone at home and my head would start to throb intensely, my stomach would start turning and then the dizziness set in. The sweat would pour down off my face and yet I&#8217;d be cold. My body would get rigid, my heart would pound and I&#8217;d start spinning. Each time all I could think was &#8220;God, isn&#8217;t there anybody out there?&#8221; and then I&#8217;d black out.
</p>
<p>
Blacking out is kind of a floating sensation until you wake up. The time span for me, personally, could be anywhere from two seconds to a six-day coma. And yet what takes place on the mental planes or the planes beyond what I knew existed &#8211; which is where I&#8217;d be during a black out &#8211; seemed like a matter of seconds and then I&#8217;d wake up. I&#8217;d wake up to all white &#8211; a hospital, and I&#8217;d have tubes hanging from me, feeding me. Sometimes I&#8217;d wake up in the same place as when I went out. I&#8217;d be in my living room and there&#8217;d be static on the television. I would have no idea how many hours had gone by. I wouldn&#8217;t even know what had happened. I would just remember the feeling and that&#8217;s all I ever remembered &#8211; the feeling of fear, knowing it was going to happen, that I was going to have a seizure, and there was nothing I could do about it and nobody around.
</p>
<p>
It came to a point that after 32 years of this, the doctors wrote me off. In fact, I wrote myself off long before that. I turned to alcohol to dull the pain, Everyone know that booze and pills don&#8217;t mix, but boy do they get rid of the pain &#8211; temporarily. In fact, it got rid of the pain to such an extent that I started to like the feeling that I had going through a seizure. What happened during a seizure became more of a reality to me than anything else. So I took more pills and more and more and at the age of 26 I OD&#8217;d. It didn&#8217;t work, I didn&#8217;t die &#8211; and was I mad. I mean I was angry to think that here I had only made myself sick and as a result I was now immune to the pills. So the doctors had to change the medication.
</p>
<p>
So I started drinking heavily, which only threw me into more seizures. The only way to get out of the pain for me was to die. I was getting to the point where I looked forward to dying. There was nothing left for me. I had no friends. Who would want to be the friend of a social outcast? I couldn&#8217;t do anything for myself.
</p>
<p>
I&#8217;d found the best doctors, literally hundreds, but they didn&#8217;t help. I&#8217;d tried every medication, every test, every blood scan and nothing helped.
</p>
<p>
Between the ages of two and thirty-four, I had had over 100,000 seizures, ranging anywhere from two seconds to six days in length. Physically, I was a wreck. Over the years, with the damage to my nervous system, the right lobe of my brain had shifted, which caused that side of my head to hang lower than the other side. My right eye was merely a slit in my face. I could hardly see. There were holes in my ear drums so huge that any sounds echoed through my head.
</p>
<p>
In December 1974, someone told me about Morningland and that Morningland is a healing center. The doctors had just told me I had six months to live. My heart could not withstand one more seizure they said. I was having at least one grand mal a month! So in December of 1974, I had to make a decision &#8211; did I really want to live or not. I didn&#8217;t understand healing and I still don&#8217;t understand a lot about what takes place. I just know how I feel and that now I can think and that I now have a job making $1,000 a month. So the choice I made that December was to live. I chose Morningland. I&#8217;d gone to so many shrinks, so many hospitals, so many doctors, through so many x-rays, EKG&#8217;s and tubes of blood I couldn&#8217;t even count them.
</p>
<p>
On April 6, 1975, I met the Queen of Peace, Sri Donato and I simply said &#8220;I am here because I&#8217;d like you to remove the scar tissue and make me normal.&#8221; In just a few minutes with the Queen of Peace, I knew I was okay; but that was just the beginning. The seizures stopped immediately. The medication stopped instantly. It took nine months for the AMA and all the doctors, six at the time, who were treating me to agree that the healing had indeed taken place. That&#8217;s how it is written in my medical records. &#8220;Through a healing, this person was cured.&#8221; My case was written up in the medical journals and I was medical history.
</p>
<p>
I recently read about someone who died after four seizures &#8211; four! I had had over 100,000 seizures and I am far from dead. I have a job making $1,000 a month. I drive a volkswagen that I bought and paid for with the money I earned myself working. I even have such a good driving record that I got a four year extension on my driver&#8217;s license. These are the side benefits that come with this healing process. Not only can I drive a car, but I have the coordination to be able to use my feet and hands and think at the same time. No longer are there any holes in my ear drums. In fact, I recently had a hearing test and my hearing is above normal! There is no longer any scar tissue on my brain. My eyes now have 20/15 vision which again is beyond normal. Normal is 15/15. My right eye is the one that is 15 and it is catching up to the left eye. I have a few headaches now and then, just like everyone else. And just like everybody else, I take a couple of aspirins and don&#8217;t worry about it.
</p>
<p>
All this is only possible through the Master Donato the Christ through the Queen of Peace. I was living on borrowed time &#8211; I had six months to live when I met the Queen of Peace. That was six years ago.

						Hi Everyone,
					</p>
<p align="left">
						I have very sad news about our old friend, Don C. whom we knew a long time ago as Para Das. He passed away Monday, March 31, 2003
					</p>
<p align="left">
						As many of you know, Don had been living with AIDS for more than a decade. He never gave in or gave up. Like any Sagittarius, he was always shooting for the next step. He was very involved with the Church of Religious Science (Science of Mind) and had become a counselor. His was working toward becoming a minister.
					</p>
<p><span id="more-167"></span></p>
<p align="left">
						An opportunity came up and he jumped on it &#8212; to go to the Ukraine for three months while working in two of the church&#8217;s facilities there. He came to stay with me Feb. 14-18 before he left and was incredibly excited about this new adventure. He left February 26, I think, and headed for the Ukraine. Three days after he got to Cherkasy, a &#8220;sinus infection&#8221; that had been bothering him hit him hard, and he was in bed for 11 days. Then he was on his feet again, into the swing of things. He said he felt okay. He sent photos and stories. He liked the people, his apartment, his assignment. Everything was new and exciting. He said he&#8217;d been consuming a ton of borsch and caviar and loving it.
					</p>
<p align="left">
						Then he took ill again. It was a lung infection, not a sinus infection, that had been brewing. He was taken to the hospital where the doctors had a very hard time stabilizing him. He passed three days later.
					</p>
<p align="left">
						It is wonderful that he got to do something he had always wanted to do, something he felt was perfect for him. And he had the satisfaction of seeing it through.
					</p>
<p align="left">
						I&#8217;m thankful he and I reconnected a few years ago and that I got to know him again, and share our lives right up to the end of his.
					</p>

						<img src="http://ex-morninglanders.com/media/pics/ganesha/ganesha1.jpg" width="173" height="242" align="left"></p>
<p align="left">
							I met Mikel on my first day of college, in Art Class. I was 18, he was 23, and had been in a wheelchair since a motorcycle accident at 19. He was into lots of drugs and not much into staying in a body before the accident, where upon a guy came up to him while he was still conscious and said something about &#8220;heavy karma&#8221;. What&#8217;s karma? Thus began his journey of the spiritual quest, and being IN a body.
						</p>
<p align="left">
							What attracted me to him first was his medallion and as he proceeded to speak of such things, I could see that a pink effervescent aura surrounded him. He was my rainbow bridge, and quite a fascinating fellow. He quickly taught me simple sign language so we could have secret conversations during class, and flirt of course.
						</p>
<p align="left">
							Mikel was quite the artist and fully threw himself creatively into his projects. Be it fine detail pointillism (creating a portrait all from tiny dots), or huge oil canvases, (a theme for awhile was large, strong, in the style of Rubens, horses with winged cherubs tending them). The duplex space would revolve around these &#8220;events&#8221;. There the canvas stood in the tiny kitchen with daily additions, moved only to mundanely cook stuff. And with black &#038; white photography, the bathroom was converted to a dark room, film hanging everywhere, trays of smelly solutions, and you&#8217;d have to knock to enter the red-lighted room to use it for &#8220;other functions&#8221;. I still remember standing out in the cold night while he captured some long exposure, low-lighted scene. You had to suffer for your art. His artistic expression turned to mechanical things, and he created a little monstrosity of a machine that when turned on, gears whirred, gadgets moved, and at the top a US flag waved haphazardly, while the song, &#8220;Your flag decal won&#8217;t get you into heaven anymore,&#8221; played. It was his statement on America. It looked like it was doing a lot; but it was not, just a bunch of flag waving. Won First Place and $50.00 too!
						</p>
<p align="left">
							We were both artists for As It Is magazine and eventually co-worked on pieces, including an oil painting of Monet&#8217;s &#8220;Lady in a Hat&#8221; using dark rich purple instead of black, for a ML art action. We both signed it. I wish I had that piece back. It was nice.
						</p>
<p align="left">
							Mikel was very smart about ML. When things were pink and fuzzy, he&#8217;d hang out. But when it got heavy, he&#8217;d hang back for a while, until pink and fuzzy returned. He said he had enough heavy stuff to deal with. Plion Das of the Pleiades Galaxy was a wonderful name for this space brother. We talked endlessly about outer space, (our CB radio names were Quasar and Pulsar) music, metaphysical things, dreams, and meditation until 2 &#038; 3 in the am. Sometimes he&#8217;d dim the lights and put music on (JJ Cale, Commander Cody and the Lost Spacemen, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, the Beatles, and of course the Moody Blues) and we&#8217;d lay face up on the shag carpet, stare at the ceiling, and just drift. No drugs, just a mutual Piscean to Piscean float. He was so &#8220;Timothy Leary&#8221; to me, even slept under a jerry rigged pyramid over the bed that raised &#038; lowered with a rope, until we both noticed it gave us too much buzzy energy to sleep. And both being Pisces, the first order of the day was, &#8220;What did you dream?&#8221; 4 or 5 dreams each later, we&#8217;d start the day.
						</p>
<p align="left">
							There was nothing disabled about Mikel. He was fiercely independent, so much they had to make him a custom wheelchair as he broke the first 4! We traversed hiking trails, got into buildings we no way had access to (a lot of buildings weren&#8217;t accessible back then), even went to Disneyland, where upon as the attendant was explaining why we couldn&#8217;t ride the Matterhorn, he was already out of his chair, buckled up in the ride saying &#8220;Lets go! What&#8217;s the problem here?&#8221; He taught me how to be assertive and not accept so-called limitations. Oh, and we always had the best parking spots. Remember when you were late for college class and would frantically search for a parking spot? There ours would be waiting for us. :) And we&#8217;d dance too. He&#8217;d pop a wheelie and spin and rock and I&#8217;d flow and spin around him. Such fun. He even taught me how to do wheelies and sometimes I&#8217;d wheel around campus just to see what it was like from his perspective while he sat and drank coffee on the grass.
						</p>
<p align="left">
							When we didn&#8217;t have my Mom&#8217;s car, we&#8217;d hoof it everywhere, and getting groceries was an adventure. There was a steep hill to go up and down along the way; so on the way back, he&#8217;d balance the grocery bag on his lap, I&#8217;d balance on 2 foot pegs on the back, lower and lean forward for good aerodynamics and Hold On&#8230;. Man we would fly! And only crashed once. It hurt but we laughed so hard! Groceries everywhere!
						</p>
<p align="left">
							And speaking of independent, after we had been &#8220;together&#8221; for 2 weeks, he dumped me over the phone for an ex-girlfriend who blew into town&#8230;Ouch! But the flighty trollop left and we eventually got back together again&#8230;Not that I was jealous or anything. :)
						</p>
<p align="left">
							One of the gifts I offered Mikel was how to love his body just the way it was. Thus began my interest and love of bodywork. Part of our routine was foot and hand reflexology&#8230;and let me tell you! He had strong hands and wouldn&#8217;t let go when he found a sore spot. What a brat! We loved torturing each other. :)
						</p>
<p align="left">
							Yes, it was hard being in a wheelchair, more than any of us will know. Daily functions we take for granted were an ordeal, and he had pain too, physical and mental. And sometimes he&#8217;d send me away while he battled his own demons &#8211; until the clouds lifted, and the sun rose, and I could come back and play again.
						</p>
<p align="left">
							We&#8217;ve stayed &#8220;connected&#8221; through the years, and one day he wrote me a letter stating he dreamed I had pretty much given up on men. He was right. I was awful at picking good ones and was taking a break. I find it interesting that he didn&#8217;t leave the planet until I had met my husband, Mark. He made sure I was in good hands and a loving heart loved and protected me. Finally a letter came from AZ where the drier climate was easier on his body&#8217;s pain. He said he missed the vast ocean, but the night sky was full of stars and just as vast. He could expand into it. I believe that&#8217;s just what he&#8217;s done, and then some! No more yucky stuff on sidewalks (snails especially). No more limitations and pain. FREEDOM&#8230; total freedom inner &#038; outer. I&#8217;m ecstatic for him!
						</p>
<p align="left">
							Fly baby, fly&#8230;
						</p>
<p align="left">
							Footnote: So, the other day, I got quiet&#038; open, saying &#8220;Hi&#8221; to Mikel, when the words &#8220;Why are you not doing the things you love?&#8221; popped in my head. Good question&#8230;I have been on an art and music break for too long. And I haven&#8217;t danced in a while. So I&#8217;ll tend to these things. Then I started to form the question about ML, Donato, &#8220;What&#8217;s the other side like&#8230;&#8221; when again words popped in, &#8220;Love&#8230; just love.&#8221; Oh&#8230;&#8230;..

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sri Patricia passed away July 15th, 2003 at 4:00 am, presumably in Long Beach, California.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The cause of death on her <a href="http://ex-morninglanders.com/eulogies/sri-patricias-death-certificate-165">Certificate of Death</a> is<strong> Myocardial Infarction</strong> due to<strong> Arterioschlerotic Artery Disease</strong>. These are ten dollar words to describe what the rest of us would call a heart attack.<br />
