Blaming Japhy Rider

Memoir of a Dharma Bum Who Survived

By: Philip A. Bralich

Inspired by and responding to Jack Kerouacs Dharma Bums, this memoir details the psychological and spiritual triumph over severe psychological difficulties caused by a series of traumas endured in the Peace Corps in West Africa in 1978. Surveying the spiritual landscape of America through the seventies to the present in Zen, Tibetan Buddhist, New Age and Christian movements, this memoir describes the journey of author Philip A. Bralichs life, beginning as a twenty-something, leftist, married, seventies idealist in the Peace Corps in West Africa, through an accident in the bush that cost his wife her life and himself much of the use of he left leg, and through the growing and debilitating psychological difficulties that were finally resolved through wide reading and personal experience of many of the spiritual and psychological movements of those four decades. The book commences in West Africa in 1978 but also goes back to as early as 1973, just four years after Jack Kerouac died.

Blaming Japhy Rider: the Email Chronicles

By: Philip A. Bralich

The emails in this volume chronicle and document some of the story presented in the memoir. There are perhaps one hundred or so more, which may be added in later editions or a separate volume. The earlier emails demonstrate a far weaker, far less studied experienced relationship to the topics discussed in the book. Those in this volume are a good example of the later emails. There is also a second project by the author with a similar set of email chronicles. This is TaxTheRichDotName email series and reflects the authors involvement in recent political efforts to redress the current distribution of wealth in the country. For more on either of the Email Chronicles and on both projects, the reader is referred to http://www.blamingjaphyrider.com and http://www.taxtherich.name.

“Common Cents”

The Full Set of Taxtherichdotname Emails

By: Philip A. Bralich

The TaxTheRichDotName e-mails evolved as an effort to draw attention and popularize the authors view of a quick and easy solution to the problem of income disparity and the distribution of wealth in the United States today. Specifically, that solution is to obviate the need for all of Marxist (both sides, communist and capitalist) idealism and all of aristocratic excess via movement to tax the rich thoroughly, profoundly, repeatedly, and punitively via the vote until the wealthy sit up straight, fold their hands on the table, admit they were wrong, apologize, and put the money bank. Votes, not money, move the US system, and voters, not the wealthy, are the true authority. There is no need to kill the aristocrats and no need to oppress the poor. All that is required is to tax the rich.
