B) I still think Mark was right in calling for an MJJG, this is a good time for such an endeavor what with the BLM, the current hopeful political developments, and the Pynchon recommendation that has been simmering all along.

There are numerous verbal felicities in MJ, beyond the historical facts and the ostensible mystery text.

I’m of Scottish and English and French extraction (sounds painful), and about 1/2 Irish - for which Reed in other writings grants a partial exemption from bloodline Atonism (although the famous luck and the gift of gab have come thru to me in somewhat of a mixed bag) - but as a Euro-American, reading this erudite and expressive work continues to be interesting and amazing.

I hope for the transformation Berbelang urges on Thor Wintergreen in the coffee shop:
“The dreaded Bokor, a humbug who doesn’t know when to stop. We must purge the bokor from you. We must teach you the difference between a healer, a holy man, and a duppy who returns from the grave and causes mischief. We must infuse you with the mysteries that Jes Grew implies.”
