resurrections from the believed to be dead and other near near misses

A Birmingham amiga emailed this morning:

Are you ok?  I have not seen anymore YouTube postings or emails. Hope you are well. Just felt like I needed to reach out. 

I replied:

Hi, Morticia -

Thanks for asking.

Hope you are doing well.

My G.I. tract has been ailing, which makes all of me feel pretty lousy. I think some of it is stuff I'm trying to work through and out of me.

We are still doing podcasts, but it has been a while since I sent out any links. We try to avoid dealing with YouTube's censor board and algorithm. 

My tech buddy seeds ad-free episodes of The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast into the Torrent system, whose platform owners and their subscribers seem to like our output, which averages about 70,000 complete watches per episode world wide. 

The two most recent podcasts feature some of my older books, which were digitized by my tech buddy for internet readers, and feature stories about my father, his family and his company, Golden Flake. There will be more episodes about my father, his family and Golden Flake.

I just now opened archive.org and typed Sloan Bashinsky into the search space and pressed Enter on my laptop, and 10 of my now digitized books came up. Modern technology also allows the books to be listened to.

The most recent of the digitized books at archive.com is my first novel.

Here's a link.

KUNDALINA (A Strange Tale) : Jake Carruthers; Sloan Bashinsky : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

KUNDALINA (A Strange Tale) : Jake Carruthers; Sloan Bashinsky : Free Dow... Kundalina. It rhymes with Carolina. It is a strange tale involving mystics, space aliens(Pleiadians if you must ...

It became available three days ago, and as of last night about 250 people had read all of it.

Here are 8 comments from people who read it.

1. This may not be the Alabama that was? The hell. This was the Alabama that was, this is the Alabama of innocence and before race politics. God it makes me hurt to know what it is like to live in Mr. Bashinsky’s skin. -useranon02348

2. Also a book this is about prisons and freedoms, how Christ Church was made into a cult and a path to purify. Sad this was not at a major publishing house -JaneCCrow

3. KUNDALINA CARP FOR EVERY DAMN OFFICE IN AMERICA COME 2024 and 2026 -adamshousecat.

4. This is an MC Escher of a book. I don’t know if people will fully realize that or if they will be too big a pussies to decode all the messages that are zipping by you as you read. Lovely goddamn book, liked it better than H-W. - LeanderI659 [H-W is the novel I wrote in 2000, HEAVY WAIT]

5. Truly unique its aims and in the story it tells, but it retains a tremendous power. Jake C indeed. Well, at least we know who lead the charge. LuridLaurainOneota

6. Damn mind blown. I’d thought I’d left it in a Amtrak station, but here it was in a WEIRD- BUT GOOD- BOOK ABOUT ALABAMA. How ya explain that one daddy? -Paul Wilson Clay

7. This is the pen as an instrument of the soul. Many kind wishes. -Buhtan

8. Without a doubt I was lucky this was a recommendation. When I started it I read all the way through and it is an amazing account of living in a person’s skin- which is not all that easy to do. I wonder if Mr. Bashinsky had released it as Sloan Bashinsky instead of Jake, if it would have changed his Dark Night and Black Night of the Soul experiences ? -miss_elizabeth_quantum-kindness

Ciaosky,

Sloan
