The World Peace Concert proposal was sent to President Bush through the RNC to the White House on August 20, 2001. 40 of the 100 artists that were on the list played in the concerts that followed 9/11. 4 of the 6 cities were used. The proposal for World Peace projected it would raise $1,275 billion. That turned in to $1.5 billion.

Jim Callahan and I first met on Thanksgiving night, 1975. I picked up The Who at the airport and took them to the hotel. I met Jimmy at the front door. He asked me for a favor. I said "I'd like a favor, too". He told me to go first. I said that I bought a 40 pound turkey with all the trimmings, drinks, etc. for a party. I asked him to bring The Who to my party. I then asked him what his favor was. He said "Go back to the airplane, pick up all the girls and bring them back to the hotel". We shook hands and agreed to the deal. I picked up the girls and he brought The Who to my party. We became friends.

Jim had one of the best jobs on the planet. He was the bodyguard for Bob Dylan, The Who, The Stones, and Led Zeppelin. As shown in this presentation, our friendship covered many decades. We were together for some 50 shows. He allowed me to reach for the highest understanding of this thing called "The Riddle".... From Dylan's conversion to Christianity to Townshend's deaf device, from Jacques Cousteau's windship to Jimmy Page handing me his cup filled with bourbon and coke. After taking hold of his cup I walked up the steps to the stage, taking a drink at each step, ascending to the stage while Led Zeppelin played "Stairway to Heaven". In modern day times, like a sword from the stone and the cup of the grail, Jim helped me achieve the deep expression of the dreams of this Riddle. I love you, Jim and am honored to know you. You allowed me to step into every man' s dream. The following parts of the Riddle, Bob Dylan, The Who and The Stones would not have been possible without your friendship. You are the best part of rock and roll.

SINGER

Bob Dylan

December 7, 1978

On December 7, 1978 Millie and I attended Bob Dylan's concert. We had the best seats in the house, third row center, right in front of Bob. Dylan was touring for the "Street Legal" album. He was doing a song called "Senor" that night. I stood up just before he began singing the words "Can you tell me who to contact here, Senor?" As he sang them, I pointed to my friend Jim Callahan. Bob had turned away, looking back at the band, but the lead guitar player saw what happened and he knew that I knew that's who you contact.

The next night Bob played in Columbia, SC. I took 6 members of the riddle (all are included in this theory) to party with Bob. Jim Callahan put together a celebration for Bob's band and my friends, a private party.

In September of 1979, the Who played Madison Square Garden. After the concert we all went back to the hotel. We got on the elevator to go to our room. 6 of us were in the elevator, 5 of us are part of the Riddle--Pete Townshend, Jim Callahan, Michael Floyd, Dannion Brinkley and Bill Beck. Guess who the odd man on the elevator was....it was the Boss, Bruce Springsteen. I called this moment "Elevators to the Sundial".

In this first picture Pete is showing me how close 3 deaf girls were to him when they came up to him on the streets of London, wagging thier fingers in his face saying "No, no, no". It freaked him out.

The reason we went to the concert was to deliver a musical device called a transducer, that when placed against a deaf person's head behind the ears, would turn their scull into a speaker, enabling them to feel the vibration of the music inside. Research would be done and found that the deaf would begin to hear and speak from using this device. This connects Pete to a higher dimension, period.

"See me, feel me, touch me, heal me" was now becoming a healing reality. Jim

Callahan gave Pete the transducers on the flight back to England. Many years later the cochlear implant would be placed on the head in the same place as the transducer had been those years before. Today, millions of deaf people learn to speak and hear because of this advancement. That's a whole lot of Jesus!

In this picture Pete asked me about Bob Dylan 's conversion to Christianity. This is what I told him : "Bob converted to Christianity for his own reasons, but the way I see it he veiled himself in Christianity because soon there will be people who will begin to kill rock stars. That is why I came to talk to you".

"In the Riddle's art, Pete, you hold the bow, which is the life force of the warrior. John Lennon is the one we must worry about. He is the one who is the most dangerous to their power. It is you, Pete, who must go to John and tell him about this threat". Pete's answer to me was "I can't do that. He would think I was crazy." This was July 13, 1980. December 8, 1980 John was murdered.

On the first night we met I told Pete in 10 years God would bring together the brotherhood of music for a world cause. At this time I told Pete the concert I told him about 5 years ago when we first met would raise $100 million, but in the end it raised $150 million. That world cause would become Live Aid. It would occur exactly 5 years from this time, July 13, 1980, to July 13, 1985. A concert to feed the people of Ethiopia. The last thing Jesus says in the Holy Bible is "I am the root and the offspring of David". David's offspring Soloman's mother was from Ethiopia. To feed the people of Ethiopia is fulfilling the words of the Bible.

In this picture are 3 people from the Riddle--Jose, Michael and Millie. Through Jose the doors would open to the Sun King.

About 30 days after Live Aid a couple who worked for a promoter in Oklahoma came to my farm and asked if I would help. The Merle Haggard show was not selling so well. They asked what could be done to draw national attention to Merle. I said that Senator Jesse Helms, the head of the Senate Agricultural Committee, could give Haggard tickets to the tobacco farmers and that would draw media attention. We did 2 press conferences and in the second one sold the idea that would later become Farm Aid. Since we used Jesse Helms and Ronald Reagan (both Republicans) to promote this event, a decision was made to move this event from Merle to Willie. It was obvious this decision was made by Democrats who wanted to take this issue away from the Republicans.

The money raised at the first Farm Aid was $11 million. None of the 20 something yearly events after this raised that amount of money. In other words, when you use the power of the presidency the media is much more responsive. In the original idea it was not so much about the money that would be raised but the pressure on the federal government to fund the farm bill. Billions of dollars each year since 1985 have fed billions of people each year. Some 20 billion people worldwide have been fed with the money the federal government put in the farm program. To come from a statement Bob Dylan made at the end of Live Aid,"I think they need to take some of this money and give to the American farmer to help them" , words are powerful. 20 billion people is a whole lot of bread and the halving of a whole lot of fishes. That is a whole lot of Jesus. Merle Haggard, the Farm Aid hat placed on your head brought forth these blessings.

On November 28, I picked up The Who at the airport and took them to their hotel. On the way to the Four Seasons Holiday Inn Pete was talking about riding with Eric Clapton on the German autobahn, going around a curve so fast they had an out of body experience for a moment. I gave a private party for The Who that Thanksgiving night with a 40 pound turkey and all the trimmings. Pete and John with some of the crew came to our room. I asked him about the out of body experience and told him I had just had one of those experiences myself. In my experience I met 2 beings. The male said to go put this band together for a world cause. I said "Who me? I ain't nobody. What are you talking about?" Then the female being took my hand and said "Go study their music, lyrics, art, videos and movies, all of the books that have been written about them and you will find what you need to know." She then hugged me and told me I had to go back. I returned to my physical body. I will not name the band they told me to study.

It was then in a 4 hour conversation with Pete when I first told him about what God was going to do with the brotherhood of music in 10 years. I even told him that "Let It Be" would be the last song played at the concert. It was the last song played at the London Live Aid concert.

John Wolfe, Great laser show! You put the healing to "Tommy". Thank you for being my friend. You are the only Englishman that understood The Riddle. Thank you for helping me every time I asked. God Bless you and your family. May you have great success.

Inner Circle

Ringing thru the mind

Want to spread the feeling

Each man must learn

His own kind of system

Raising the pitch

Or function of being

He becomes an instrument receiving

He sends his Live

Waiting for the sound

Of it’s return

The sound of the spheres

The thoughts of the Lord

Only the inner circle

Can ride the elevators to the sundial

Where the harmonica player

From the inner galactic world is playing

Reaching out and finding

The ways of spirit

The knowledge within the hidden chambers

The ways of a higher conscience

Being great, you flow far away

Having gone, you return

The ways of the ancient

John smiled in the sky

Pray for peace and love

each and every day

So that we may see

all the love that he gave

Never before have so many mourned

on each and every continent

they gathered together

For ten short minutes in silence

Yoko said “John smiled in the sky”

When everyone’s mind was feeling

the presence of the grace

Praying for peace and love for his soul

singing along with the sound of his pain

He knows no pain now

only the love

Bringing this message to his brother

sitting at the right hand of God

The candle just burned out

guess we had better call it quits

Maybe one day we won’t be so wrong

changing everything

John, he smiled in the sky

you had better believe

we know the reasons why

So pray for peace and love

each and every day

That we may see

all the love that he gave

Modern day man of peace

Thank you, John

There’s a ship coming soon

Sometime in June

From La Rochelle, France

Where the templars launched

Her name is Alcyone

She’s the daughter of the wind

She’s on a journey

On our eighth anniversary

Alcyone, Alcyone

You’re Cousteau’s dream

The most technological ship that’s ever been

That rides the wind

Where lift overcomes the drag

Like in the song “When the ship comes in”

The ship moves on

Soon to be explained as the answer

The bottom is protected with the sonic hull

No more drag or anti-foulant paint

Killing off the fishes in the harbor

Where you and I swim

Alcyone, Alcyone

You’re so free

Born from the law that birds made man believe

Your voyage is a statement

About the deep beautiful lady

We call her the sea

May the Gods of the sea protect you

May the princess of the wind be your friend

Father of the stars, mother of the earth

Guide you with their light

I called you up, Jic

To tell you to have Bob Dylan on board

When the ship arrives in the Big Apple

On her maiden voyage

What I was trying to tell you, Jacques

Was that the whole world would be watching

The answer blowing in the wind

So Bob told the world

With Live Aid’s last two songs

When the ship comes in

She’ll be blowing in the wind

Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau

Captain of the sea

Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau

Window of the bottom of the sea

Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau

Windows in the yellow submarine

Alcyone, Alcyone, Alcyone

I stood on your hull

When no one was there

Then I placed Tommy’s Christmas toy

Yes, the deaf device

The hull rang “I am the walrus”

I christened you, Alcyone

On March 15, 1985

In La Rochelle, France

There’s a ship coming soon

Kung Fu

PlaI first met Grandmaster Pai in 1973. This was right between the time of David Carradine in the show "Kung Fu" and Bruce Lee and "Enter the Dragon". Like everyone else I was overcome overnight by the appearance of the Kung Fu world. Watching "Kung Fu" religiously, and seeing Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon", then finding Master Pai was like finding the mystery behind all of Kung Fu. His name was Daniel Kane Pai. David Carradine's character in Kung Fu was sometimes known as Danny Kane. As you see in the pictures above, Master Pai trained Bruce Lee and Mohammad Ali. Other students were Elvis Presley, James Dean and James Coburn. At times during the 40's he was the Rat Pack's bodyguard. He also worked with Kenny Rogers, David Lee Roth, Prince and Michael Jackson, to name a few. He has protected and influenced the entertainment icons of the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. If you search the internet for "Pai Lum Kung Fu" or "White Dragon Kung Fu" you will find more than 100,000 references to all of his Kung Fu schools.

Master Daniel Pai Stephen Gudis Bill Snoufner

Stephen Gudis, you were the first person in the music world that I revealed The Riddle to. You gave your best advice and sent me down the road. We've become life long friends and you supported me all the way. I thank you, my friend, my brother. It's you and me now. From the original team, we are the only ones left.

In 1978 I was fortunate to travel to the World Kung Fu Tournament with Master Pai. I went so I could film and document the tournament. This resulted in a film called "White Dragon". As shown in the letter in this section, the White Dragon team took first place in forms, weapons, the Dragon Spirit award and third place in the heavyweight championship. I didn't go to fight, but Master Pai asked me to step up at the last minute. I fought both rounds the full four minutes. He later said they released the Dragon on me, their best fighter. The fighter hit me with more punches than all the other fights in the tournament. In the end, I was still standing. Master Pai asked me if I was trying to be a hero. I said "No". After the tournament he presented me with the Dragon Spirit Award, which I had won. To lose bad and come home with this high honor was quite a lesson.

Michael does Tai Chi in the sacred Sun King Temple.

Flash forward to October, 1992. I was sitting with Master Pai outside a Kung Fu gathering in Orlando. I had given him The Riddle six months earlier. He turned to me and said, "Michael, you are my teacher. You are teaching me about myself." After studying The Riddle he came to realize that what I revealed to him was teaching him about himself and Kung Fu. I had shown him how the Kung Fu symbol and structure had decoded The Riddle. He put this in front of every one of his best students and asked them this question "Do you know what this is?". No one answered. He said to himself, "I knew I was right. It was a lesson only for me". After telling me this he turned to me and said. "Michael, I ordain you as Sifu, spiritual teacher of the mysteries of Kung Fu, to tell the world my story". Grandmaster had invited me to the Kung Fu ceremony to execute The Riddle between the two of us. A true mystical journey.

Here Michael sits at the top of Machu Picchu beside the Sundial and ponders the mystery of the Sun King. On the sacred day of the Inti Raymi ceremony if you look to the mountain top in the background, you will see the place where the sun rises on this sacred day.
