Statements such as "there is no self," or "there is only God" are very simple descriptions of ordinary, everyday exis- tence. All that's necessary for understanding them is a clear acknowledgement of your own life experience. Few people ever admit how life actually presents itself. This book points to your most basic experience of existence and asks you to consider what it reveals. Be prepared for surprises. Sponta- neously drawn to meditation at age fourteen, Darryl spent the next seventeen years exploring awareness and concentra- tion practices from Eastern and Western traditions. He is the author of several books including Dismantling the Fantasy.

Story by Chris Bertrand Photos by Chris Bertrand and Ron Stinnett LANDMARK ORANGE GROVE ESTATE HAS A STORIED PAST ONE OF ONLY 2 KNOWN HARRY WALKER DESIGNS IN THE AREA For those who traverse the eastern end of Orange Grove regularly, it’s likely this distinctive stone and green trimmed estate with a huge and wide, iron strapped door and Gothic arches will come to mind immediately… By the time of its completion in 1929, this beautifully preserved Orange Grove estate’s storied past was tied to the scandalous doings of Warren C. Earle, the original owner and City Engineer and Superintendent of streets at the City of Pasadena. Apparently, Earle got into a boat load of hot water just as the home was finished. As part of a historical package prepared by Tim Gregory, The Building Biographer, a slew of LA Times articles dated June, 1939 through May, 1931 chronicled the accusations of graft which included suggestions that city dump trucks were buried under a bridge, the indictment of Earle and five other prominent Pasadenans of grand theft and misappropriation of public funds for Colorado and Linda Vista “paving which was never installed,” Earle’s dismissal by the city resulting in quick foreclosure on this estate, the grand jury trial in what was called the Sewer Graft Scandal, his incarceration at San Quentin, and Earle’s release and parole in 1931, after about a year and half behind bars. Amid all that scandal, graft, cloak and dagger, stories emerged of various materials within the house that may have been the result of greedy, sticky fingers. How much is true, we’ll likely never know, but the current trustee owner pointed to the distinctive foyer tiles that are said to exactly match some found in Pasadena City Hall, and the largest timbers.
