It\u2019s springtime and everybody\u2019s outside in the green, green grass. Many spiritual seekers have come to see the mother of Keith Partridge. Shirley positions herself comfortable on the large purple and pink swirled pillow she sits on. Orange creamsicle incense wafts into the sky. She smiles at her audience.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">A young lady raises her hand. \u201cYes, child. What is your question?\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">The thin blonde woman stands and asks, \u201cDo you think that if everyone did meditation that one day there would be world peace?\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">Shirley smiles and says, \u201cMediation is very groovy but there is no such thing as world peace and there never will be. And any guru or spiritual leader who tells you that is either mentally ill or a liar. However, inner peace is a possibility. But that\u2019s up to you. And that\u2019s out of my hands even though I\u2019m God.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">A curly brown-haired man raises his hand. \u201cHow can we stop all this war? There\u2019s so much death. I\u2019m so uptight. Every time I turn the TV on it\u2019s something negative, man. We need to wake the people up. They\u2019re being brainwashed by the people in positions of power.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">The man starts to cry. Shirley smiles again and says, \u201cEverything is perfect. Everything is as it should be. And this world was designed for many things and conflict is one of the top ten TV shows on planet Earth. Just remember, millions of years ago on this planet there were dinosaurs. Some of them were herbivores and the others were carnivores that would eat the herbivores. Isn\u2019t that beautiful? Doesn\u2019t that answer every question you could ever possibly have about Mother Nature and the whole Existence Trip?<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">Also, brainwashing is beautiful. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Perhaps you\u2019ve heard this before. Also, Laurie and Danny placed the people in positions of power there. They\u2019re like the dinosaurs that eat meat. They were designed to do that and they do a wonderful job. Everything that happens is supposed to happen even when it\u2019s not supposed to happen.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">A woman stands up sobbing, \u201cWhy are there so much horrible TV shows nowadays? There\u2019s no more Bewitched or Beverly Hillbillies or Major Dad. What can we do?\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">Shirley claps her hands once and says, \u201cChild of the sobbing tears, all TV is good TV it\u2019s just the way you look at it. It\u2019s all about the channel you\u2019re on and if you have an up-to-date TV Guide. If you can\u2019t find a good television program to watch you need to look at your inner TV Guide.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">Everyone starts to clap and chant. A woman and man approach Shirley with a basket of money \u201cHere, oh Mother of the Universe we make this offering for you to help feed the hungry.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">Shirley nods and takes the basket of money. She then pulls out a bottle of Thousand Island dressing from her purple suede pocket book and a box of garlic croutons. She pours the entire bottle over the basket of money and then adds the croutons. Christopher who\u2019s sitting behind her, hands her a plastic spork and then before she starts eating she says, \u201cOh, thank you. I\u2019m ever so hungry.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\">And then she eats her delicious green salad and children starve in different pockets of the world but today Shirley Partridge is full and all is Right-On.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepartridgefamilytemple.org\/albuquerque\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tumblr_mna0qeCXBJ1qzdza2o1_1280.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-848\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thepartridgefamilytemple.org\/albuquerque\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tumblr_mna0qeCXBJ1qzdza2o1_1280.jpg\" alt=\"tumblr_mna0qeCXBJ1qzdza2o1_1280\" width=\"550\" height=\"847\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thepartridgefamilytemple.org\/albuquerque\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tumblr_mna0qeCXBJ1qzdza2o1_1280.jpg 550w, http:\/\/www.thepartridgefamilytemple.org\/albuquerque\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tumblr_mna0qeCXBJ1qzdza2o1_1280-194x300.jpg 194w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shirley sits cross-legged wearing a long flowing purple robe.
