Hello again. This is John Rhodes and this is the 16th Chapter of my serial podcast novel and free audio book entitled, “Installing a Gas Plant in the Guru’s Ashram”. This chapter discusses the feasibility of manure gas plants on a small scale in India. I don’t want to go into too much detail about the plot, but obtaining methane from camel and cow manure in India and having the poor of India use it for cooking, rather than letting them burn their dry germ infested dung straight to cook their food, is a much better answer to finding a power source for the poor than what they have now. I don’t know whether it would be good on a large scale because larger plants than discussed in this book might affect the Co2 levels too much. I don’t think we can eliminate all Co2 sources, because plants need a definite amount of Co2 to grow. Pollution isn’t pollution, if it can be safely reabsorbed into the biosphere, which is what I propose in this chapter. I went to India in the late 70’s and saw for myself where they would have 60 foot high piles of dung saved up to use to cook their food with, it being very unsanitary. I hope you enjoy this mystic Indian chapter of my podcast novel. May I remind you that it would be highly appreciated if you bought this book as a token of your appreciation for my works from iTunes or www.audible.com . It will only put you back 7 or 8 dollars, and it will keep my publisher interested in my works. You might consider it as a donation to a starving artist. What ever you do, may the one that is within all of us be with you. Thanks, and enjoy the podcast. The picture above is the late Sri Chinmoy.
As of March 2008 I am writing this. By June 2008 all the chapters of my serial novel will be posted on my site for downloading. I will probably keep those chapters in their complete form until I have a new novel out. Then I will only have maybe half the book posted, and you will have to buy the full audio version from iTunes (Type in my name John F. Rhodes),or from www.audible.com. Please don’t think that since the whole book is out for free you shouldn’t also buy an audio copy or a text copy. I doubt highly that you were a “Digger” in the sixties from Haight Street and don’t believe in money. If you are a “Digger” from Haight Street, please remember to keep the faith and tell all your friends about my podcast. It’s cheap! 9 or 10 bucks!
This is a far-out hip, free audio book and podcast novel by John Rhodes that takes place in San Francisco, in the Haight called, "Little Bird Told Me". It is an Avant Garde story told in the 90's. I don't want it stereotyped in any culture so it might be better called an enlightened love story. Peace and love are main topics in the book though just like with the hippies.
I also live in the Haight and have an audio/video Haight Street open mike poetry podcast called: Mystic Babylon at http://mysticbabylon.podomatic.com , which is also run as a free local TV show on the cable access Comcast channels. Please listen in, but just as people support Public Broadcasting, I hope you will support me by buying either my novel or my poetry book (Spirits of Bondage and Inherent Transcendence). The only way to find the paid version on iTunes is by clicking on browse, then audio books, then fiction and then, John Rhodes. I hope they fix that. You can buy both books in text from www.authorhouse.com .Please tell a friend! Note: also visit: http://www.rhodespoetry.com .
