The chant "Om mani padme hum" (or however you spell this) does indeed
mean "Hail the jewel in the lotus".  And it is indeed a sexual
reference, and something very worthy of hailing.  Those Indians shure
are horny buggers, ain't they?

"G." is not Gurdjieff.  Why would Gurdjieff be coming over to Kate's
pad?  "G." is most likely David Gilmour.

Why would anyone think that "The Man With the Child in his Eyes" is
about masturbation?  Kate once said it's about how women look for
their fathers in their lovers.
