Da Free John

"Master Da Free John is not on an ego-trip". Careful consideration will reveal that the ego that may be felt to arise while reading his writings is none other that the reader's."

Franklin Jones. Franklin, Benjamin. Franklin Mint. Bubba Free John. Bubba Louie. Da Quicksdraw. Da Free John. Da Free Paul. Da Free George. Da Ringo. Da Love-Ananda. Da Love-Bliss. Da Loves-You, Yeah-Yeah-Yeah. Dau Loloma. Dau La'Samba. Ba-Da-Da-Da-Da La Bamba. Da Do Run Rerun, Da Do Run Run. De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da. Master Da. Master John. Master Bates. Da Dildo. Adi Da. Da Avatar. Da Bomb. Da Bum. D'uh. Zippity Do Da.

Many intelligent and sophisticated thinkers, such as Ken Wilber, think very highly of Jones' writings and his crazy wisdom spiritual insight and Realizing. More mundane people, such as myself, just look at his photos and hear of his megalomania and funny names and so do not think highly of him at all.

And still, "they call him by many names, who is but One God."
