Re: Enlightening Good News
Hi everyone!
A few weeks ago, I was surprised and honored with the occasion to receive a new name from my teacher, Kali Ma.
From what I've learned, receiving a spiritual name is "...an opportunity for re-birth, or actually the birth of your conscious being.
In the first birth, one is conditioned into the world of parents, family and society. This conditioning is more or less functional but usually inadequate to satisfy the thirst of the soul. At some point one becomes ripe to shed this old skin and begin to create life anew from a fresh, clear, open, conscious, creative space, the space of spirituality, of the soul.
Receiving a spiritual name is an opening to alter one's destiny, to change the outcome of one's life, to change one's being and vibration, to re-create, re-new... It is the beginning of the spiritual renaissance of one's life."
- Kali Ma
The name I was given is Navina, which is Sanskrit for "eternal freshness."
Please call me Navina from now on, to support me and help me embody this quality in my life.
Even if you're not perfect at always calling me Navina, I would so appreciate the effort!
Thanks and love,
Navina (the Sagitarian formerly known as Dustin)

Hi Dustin,
I didn't even know you had a teacher! I thought Kali Ma was a Hindu goddess - what is the tradition you are practicing in? I have to admit that I'm very surprised, but I'm interested to know more about your name change and spiritual transformation. And I'll try to call you Navina.

From Adam Laxton:
Navina means "eternal freshness"? This sounds like the name of a douche! "Buy Navina Eternal Freshness for that smell that just won't go away".
I can't wait to see what your next group of tattoos is going to be. Most likely the yin/yang symbol, an ankh, plus the bulls eye will surely be a beautiful piece with pixies and stars I'm sure! Have you taken to sitting around in a circle with your other spiritual buddies, with flowing robes and incense burning to talk about how Goddess has spoken to you and given you a divine plan? Oh man, go away and I hope I never fucking hear from you again, you no-brained sheep.

from Patti G:
does this have anything to do with child services knocking on your door? I applied for WIC and told them where you live. I had no idea they'd come looking for you and demand three hundred dollars a month from you for child support. My social worker told me that you told them Dustin doesn't live here anymore. Just because you shaved your head wear a sheet does not mean that you didn't fuck me in the back of your car outside that bar! You're paying for this mister sweet talker i'll love you forever fucking liar piece of shit! and by the way, you can't just call your apartment the fucking hotel lotus flour ashram! See you in court! You better get a good lawyer, you'll need one!

HI NAVINA ,
--IF THIS HELPS IN YOU OVER COMING YOUR STUTTERING I'M ALL FOR IT.
HOW IS PATTI AND THE BABY COMING ALONG?
--NAVINA ARE YOU STILL TEACHING? AND ARE YOU STUDYING MUSIC. MAYBE YOU SHOULD PLAY THE HARP! IT IS SUCH A GREAT PEACEFUL INSTRUMENT. LIKE ANGELS SINGING AND SOULFUL.
--KEEP US POSTED ON YOUR PROGRESS AND INNER THOUGHTS.
--OF COURSE YOUR FATHER LAUGHED AT THIS, AND SAID HIS NEW NAME IS HORSE SHIT AND APPLEBUTTER. SO PLEASE CALL HIM THAT FROM NOW ON.
LOVE YOU

From Paul Roberts:
'm glad you've learned that for all of the fucked up things you've done with your life, you don't have to take responsibility for a single one of them because it's not your fault. It is, of course, your family's fault, your friend's fault, your fiance's fault and your employers fault. Thus you need only change your name, your identity, your style of dress and your lifestyle in order to be free of all the unnecessary guilt that isn't your fault to begin with. Friends angry with you? No prob, it wasn't Navina who fucked them over after all. It was that other guy who isn't you anymore! Goddamn, California rules!!!

Dearest Navina,
you are indeed a well of eternal freshness.... dont work too hard
today, drink some beer, have fun, I'm proud of you for leading the

From John Murry
Coast (the soap) means eternal freshness. You remember them commercials? So I'm just going to call you "Coast Deoderant Soap" from now on.
But here are my objections to you being any kind of freshness:
1. You smoke cigarette butts off the sidewalk
2. You raise chickens in the Bayview
3. You wear that kelly moore painting hat all the time
On the other hand, you are eternally getting fresh:
1. Patti looks like she ate a basketball.
2. David Manning is secretly in love with you almost all the time.
3. My asshole still hurts.
P.S. you might to use some of that Coast Deodorant Soap, you stink

From Steve Tritto:
Dearest Navina,
I appriciate your exceptance into the world of spiritual enlightenment. For too long I have sat behind this coffee cart and watched your life spiral out of control through a sequence of continuously demoralizing orgy-astic experiences. Your mentor, much like the Kali of classic hindu mythology holds your severed heard knewly disengaged from your heathenistic corpse, the body riddled with impurities will wither and decay as your mind is almost weightlessly transcending the space between the realm of the mortal domain and that of the spiritual kingdom. I aplaud your denounciation of your judeo-christian name and way of life, you now join the great ranks of those of our fellow spiritual giants in arcada and eugene. your recently shorn skull paves the way for sprouting of new enlivened folicals which, much like kali emerging from Durga's eyebrow, will flow out with hair coating your face and head in golden dreaded locks. Of course some the less gifted minds surrounding you will denounce you but do not worry for the goddess Kali herself has been consistently the source of much misguided hatred from those who hold Jesus Christ as the son of god. Stay the course and never doubt your way Navina for you truly are a king amoung men.

Dear Nagina
Yeah, that's great, really great that you've found your womanly spiritual side. This is all that we need, another one of those hippies with crystals and incense walking around barefoot. Are you going to start wearing moo-moos like they all do? "Hey let's not care that we've gotten all fat and lost our teeth, this is all our feminine right!"
I sincerely hope that you and Rotting Duck Innards and all of the other directionless clowns have a wonderful time running around naked on your spiritual retreats. The quests upon which you will all embark will no doubt satisfy every atom of your pathetic existences.
Yours In Christ,
Philomena Winstanley

Yo Navs,
I shed some skin this morning, amongst other things. I By the way, some really kick ass blow just rolled into town so lets meet up at the Mitchell Brothers' later for a "cocktail" or twelve.

From Navina
Upon further contemplation of your responses with my new mentor Kali Ma, I've decided only Allyson, Brandy, Steven and perhaps Heninous P should be allowed to partake in my second birthing process, time and date of said blessed event TBA. I would like to thank them for their unconditional acceptance of who I really am. By the way, I've decided to be Black now too, so please refrain from any racist murmurings in my presence. I didn't expect much understanding from the rest of you being that you're all white devils and work for the Man,
red, black and green, brothas and sistas, and peace be with you
nameste,
Navina X.
