Karl Bushby (born March 30, 1969), 55, is a walking adventurer, former British paratrooper, and author, currently attempting to be the first and only person in the history of the world to completely WALK an unbroken path around the world [which seems to be a circular flat earth]. Bushby's trek is known as The Goliath Expedition.
[Has he become a Buddhist with all this walking meditation?]
Group kinhin in Zen practice
Walking meditation (Chinese 經行, Pinyin jīngxíng, Romaji kinhin or kyōgyō, Korean gyeonghyaeng, Vietnamese kinh hành) is a Buddhist meditative practice done while walking. It can be done as a standalone practice or as a break between long periods of static sitting meditation [1]. In different forms, the practice is common in various Buddhist traditions of both Theravada and in Mahayana Buddhism. The Zen term kinhin consists of the Chinese words 經, meaning "to go through (like the thread in a loom)," with "sutra" as a secondary meaning, and 行, meaning "walk." Taken literally, the phrase means "to walk straight back and forth." More
Bushby was born in Hull, England. He attended a local comprehensive school and joined the British Army at the age of 16. Bushby served with the 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment for 11 years.
The Goliath Expedition is Bushby's attempt to walk around the world "with unbroken footsteps," from Punta Arenas, Chile, to his home in Hull, England.
He began his journey on November 1, 1998, and originally expected to finish the trek of 36,000-mile (58,000 km) in eight years; however, due to numerous delays, it is still in progress as of September 8, 2025 [1], having made it through the impossible Darién Gap, the barrier between South and North America.

Aug. 4, 2025: Edgar Cayce shocked the world when he revealed salt as humanity's hidden spiritual technology. In 1936, he saved a dying child using sacred salt rituals that doctors called impossible.
This video exposes why biblical texts encrypted salt as divine connection, how our tears contain crystallized prayers, and the specific techniques Cayce used to unlock psychic abilities through salt work.
Discover why ancient civilizations guarded salt secrets, how salt bridges physical and spiritual realms, and the documented healing cases that prove salt activates dormant spiritual DNA.
Learn Cayce's salt meditation methods for accessing past lives, receiving divine guidance, and accelerating consciousness evolution.
The kitchen cabinet holds the key to spiritual awakening that mystery schools protected for millennia. Based on 14,000 documented psychic readings and A.R.E. archives.
Best-selling author Mark Kurlansky turns his attention to a common household item with a long and intriguing history: salt. The only rock we eat, salt has shaped civilization from the very beginning, and its story is a glittering, often surprising part of the history of humankind. A substance so valuable it served as currency (Latin sal, which gives us our word "salary," our ration of life-sustaining sodium chloride used as wages), salt has influenced the establishment of trade routes and cities, provoked and financed wars, secured empires, and inspired revolutions. Populated by colorful characters and filled with an unending series of fascinating details, Salt is a supremely entertaining, multi-layered masterpiece. More

But some are treated as if we were in the Deep South on Slave Patrol in the Jim Crow Era

World's richest man was Black Musa not white Musk
By the mid 20th century, the clothing, accessories, and look of people enjoying Southern California beach culture was beamed across the country and around the world through photos and films. But the vast majority of those images did not include African Americans.
But behind many of those smiles were experiences of racist taunts and dirty looks. “African Americans contested any kinds of activities that were attempting to inhibit them from using public beaches here in Southern California,” said Allison Rose Jefferson, the curator of the exhibit.
The exhibit joins historical photos, pamphlets, and films with contemporary portrayals of African Americans at leisure. And in doing so, it paints a broad picture of African Americans’ efforts to have access to leisure activities and spaces that most non-African Americans take for granted.
Nearly a decade ago, Kayiita Johansson was in his mid '20s living in New York. During the summers he loved heading to the beach on Long Island to surf and hang out.
“Everyone in the water was super friendly. The waves were small, but they were fun,” Johansson said.
He’s Black and the group of friends who went to the beach included other African Americans as well as white, Chinese, and Indian friends. He says he never experienced a racist incident on the beach there.
Hey, we can swim. We swim just fine. We love swimming. Caps keep the hair good.

But that changed when he moved to California for graduate school at Stanford University. He remembers surfing in Santa Cruz when a surfer, who was Asian, cut him off.
“He paddles towards me… he says, 'Why were you on my wave?' And I'm like, ‘What are you talking about?’ I was in the spot for priority.’ And he calls me a monkey,” Johansson said. More:
As for the Armenian "genocide," one could only hope for a reasonable denial from the Turks or Ottoman Empire. Hitler referred to the ethnic cleansing and mass slaughter as a "genocide." Of course, he was speaking loosely, saying no one remembered that nowadays. That was less than a century ago. Wait, this just in, Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur (The Young Turks) deny it was a "genocide"? Let's look into that claim. One thing is certain. Turks need to form a rock band with catchy singing and a song that says something like:
Ana Kasperian is Armenian working for TYT?
"It was just a war/ And not no genocide/ Everyone was doing it/ Those Armi's ran to hide/ We mowed 'em down/ Beat them fair 'n square/ And we don't need no System to hound/ We've got love to spare" -- because then we would love to hear the other side of the argument. Living in Los Angeles, which has a large Armenian population, we only get one side of the story. Surely, Turkish scholars have something unpopular to say. But if we go to see SOAD and hear their lyrics, we've been indoctrinated to think there's no doubt about it. It was a genocide, and of course Israel is now following the example of the Nazis (against all undesirables, most notably Ashkenazi Jews), Americans (against Indians and Blacks), and Europeans (against New World populations) in doing the same thing.
Israel's genocide exposed by South Africa's devastating ICJ (Int'l Court of Justice) case
(Owen Jones) Jan. 11, 2024: Wow, what can one even say? Even if one has been closely following Israel's war crimes, South Africa's legal team provided overwhelming, utterly devastating evidence of Israel's guilt regarding its genocide against the Palestinian people (particularly in Gaza but also in the West Bank). Owen Jones goes through the key points and claims here -- and why the "State" of Israel has not a leg to stand on. Like, subscribe -- and help take on the pro-war media here: owenjones84
"Until Gaza is Erased": Israel's [Ashkenazi, Zionist-Jewish] 'genocidal' anthems go viral
(TRT World)
TRT is a Turkish public broadcast service (Wiki) March 14, 2024L "Until Gaza is Erased": Israeli hip-hop artists are using genocidal language to glorify their Jewish country's continued offensive in Palestine's Gaza and the West Bank — one that has killed more than 34,000 people since October last year.
I wash myself of complicity in these crimes
Of course, many beheaded and maimed babies are buried under the rubble of Israeli militants' destruction and is not yet counted. Anyone who tries to dig for those babies will be shot on sight or bombed or executed by remote control using drones and secret technology, so an accounting of those murdered by Israel is never likely to take place. Just as historians exaggerate the extent of the killing in Europe, claiming more Jewish deaths during WW II than there were Jews anywhere near Nazi Germany, the horrors rained down on Gaza by the IDF and Jewish Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
CIA-backed Fearless Leader Netanyahu is Israel
This is not a Jewish matter, for there are many Jews standing up against Israeli and American crimes in the Middle East and in Palestine in particularly, chanting "not in our name!" Many religious and secular Jews oppose this genocide, condemn the corrupt and self-serving criminal Netanyahu, and oppose the takeover of Palestine. Republicans may defend genocide and advocate for sending more and more war funding to incinerate Muslims and Palestinians, but many Jewish students and activists say no to war, no to illegal Jewish occupation of Palestine, no to IDF (Israel Offensive Force) war crimes.
Ana Kasparian is not a true Armenian - TYT's genocide denial
I love Turkish Cenk Uygur. He pays me money.
(Glink) Feb. 7, 2017: This is a response to The Young Turks (TYT) and Ana Kasperian, involving recent events concerning the Armenian genocide. Glink also goes through the history of the name "The Young Turks" comes from and Founder Cenk Uygur's past denial of it happening or being a "genocide." Oddly enough, there are also many parallels between the Armenian genocide and Dragon Ball Z, connections made throughout the video. Glink has been an avid fan of DBZ since childhood and is Armenian.

Hundreds of spectators flock to Southern California beach for huge waves
(CBS 8 San Diego)
Dec. 30, 2023: A high-surf and a coastal flood advisory will be in effect through Monday at San Diego County beaches, with large breaking waves up to 12 feet and some expected minor flooding, forecasters said.
ADVISORIES: Both advisories will be in effect until 2:00 am Monday (Jan. 1, 2024) and include warnings of dangerous swimming and surfing conditions, beach erosion, and minor tidal overflow during morning high tides at low-lying coastal areas such as beach parking lots and walkways.
Rogue wave slams into Southern California beachgoers; 9 hospitalized
Surf's up. Video captured the terrifying moment Southern California beachgoers were slammed into by a massive rogue wave in Ventura County on Thursday.
The incident happened as locals were being warned about a massive swell pounding the Southern California coastline this week.
The rogue wave submerged bystanders at Pierpont Beach on Seaward Ave. around 11:00 am. That area has been hit the hardest with what the National Weather Service called “tremendous wave energy.”
Does interference amplifies waves?
A witness, Colin Hoag, captured cell phone video of the explosive wave. As the waters suddenly flooded an observation zone, both people and vehicles were instantly swept away.
Beachgoers were seen frantically running for their lives. The raging waters destroyed the windows of nearby beachfront buildings and hotels on its destructive path. More
The sewn plank technology in canoes (tomols) used by Native American Chumash people of Southern California (Ventura. LA County, Channel Islands) are very similar to Polynesian vessels.
The ancient seafaring Polynesians were incredibly skilled navigators who managed to discover and settle on hundreds of islands across the Pacific Ocean.
Their territory extended from Hawaii in the north to New Zealand in the southwest and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the southeast. But did they go as far as the American continent?
This gallery looks back at Polynesian voyages and expansion and examines the evidence of their presence in the Americas.
Polynesian voyagers crossed millions of miles throughout the Pacific Ocean without nautical instruments. They relied on reading nature's signs and managed to find some of the world’s most remote places. But where did the Polynesians come from, really? Let’s take a look at their ancestry.
Polynesian ancestry
Archeological data indicates Polynesians traveled south, first to the Philippines then to New Guinea and its Bismarck Archipelago. It’s believed the ancestors mixed with the natives at the Bismarck Archipelago, and by around 1300 BCE a new culture, known as the Lapita, had developed. More
It's all about brain size, human scientists declared, until an animal with a larger brain-to-body-size ratio than humans was found. Still some humans argue that we are better because we invented cities, industrial pollution, war, and such things.
Interestingly, according to the great Douglas Adams, dolphins argue that they are smarter for exactly the same reason, that is, they didn't. But the blue bottlenoses aren't all angels.
How to hug a sea porcupine
They sometimes rape and murder (purposely kill) humans, drowning them during sexual assaults out of jealous rage or infuriated at their meddling when female divers are present. Ask divers and, if swimming with the dolphins in Hawaii, avoid the plucky teens with erections.
Dolphins make plans, hang out in gangs (pods), hunt, have feelings, communicate, do neat tricks, get depressed when enslaved, work for the military-industrial complex that exploits them for war.
Now, on today's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! (10/7/23), we come to find they get high on purpose on a psychedelic substance available to them in the sea. How many psychedelics could there be in the sea, Flipper?
Endogenous auto-intoxication on puff?
This harkens back to the thesis that we, modern humans (Homo sapien sapiens, because we're sapient, the future Homo spiritus) evolved from some pre-human primate who discovered and ingested entheogens. There's a name for this theory. Joe Rogan may have mentioned it, something like the High Monkey Conjecture (aka Stoned Ape Theory).
Well, be that as it may, pass the puffer on the left fin side. Dolphins have been observed doing "puff," street name TTX (tetrodotoxin) and "Sashimi" (Japanese Fugu,because it will "fug u up" and may even result in death, Thai pakapao or "Pow" because it packs a punch).
Dolphins carefully prepare papakao (provoking the balloon fish to release more protective poison the way Voodoo practitioners and some Satanists torment a chicken or other living being, even humans, before butchering and ritually consuming its blood to get high on the adrenaline, adrenochrome, and/or other stress-induced compounds).
They deliberately ingest it, and pass it around among themselves in a social activity much like a psychedelic circle among the shamans of the Americas in the Hollywood movie Altered States with William Hurt.
This is shocking because it may have been the genesis of their larger brains, a global view of the oceans, and protective behavior for humans in danger at sea, and empathy (as when they warn us of danger or head it off on our behalf).
Life, Universe and Everything
Moreover, a recent episode of This American Life or a similar NPR program spoke frankly of a few cases of human bestiality with dolphins, one female trainer who got carried away with her hands on a regular basis in the interest of hastening her research and care, she claimed, and another man in the wild who just liked to play and make bi-curious dolphins feel good.
We are as gods (celestial devas) to them, and like the gods did to us, sometimes things get carried away. It's a strange world...and it only seems to be getting stranger. Well, time to call our Bonobo buddies and see what they're up to this weekend.
I may look cuddly, but I'm no toy. So don't play with me and my flesh and blood.
Is it the Doctrine of Signatures: Who would ever guess one could trip on this trippy creature?
.
(John Downer Productions) Bottlenose dolphins are filmed apparently getting high on toxic secretions from pufferfish. The puffers secrete a neurotoxin that in high doses can kill but in small doses seemingly has a psychedelic narcotic effect.
