I was amazed and grateful to have heard back from you. Thank you so
much for your emails (and even re my actual/virtual Harbin
ethnographic book - http://bit.ly/HarbinBook -
https://twitter.com/HarbinBook - for which UC Berkeley Professor
Emeritus Nelson Graburn kindly wrote the Foreword, as you may know).
And thank you too, Ishvara, for inviting me up to Harbin this autumn
even (and before HCC re-opens for camping in early 2018)!
I'm curious still if Harbin would even get and carry my book for sale
(in your upcoming Harbin Gate kiosk) at some point in the future -
since you'd potentially benefit from the 40% of the $64.95 list price
as a small (retail) bookstore even (so about $26 / copy)?
And while I would love to come up and soak at some point on a Sunday
this autumn when you're there at 5 ... this may have to wait a bit
until I publish my next Harbin-inspired book, this time of poetry ...
But I would like to invite you to UC Berkeley, Ish, to talk about
Harbin this autumn, if you might be available. It might be a great
way to invite Cal students to begin to visit Harbin as soon as
January.
(I'd also like eventually to teach a course from my actual / virtual
ethnographic book to undergraduate and graduate students - including
by taking field trips together to Harbin after it re-opens - as well
as build a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs for this as part of a
realistic virtual whole earth (even to study, for example, the brain
chemistry of bliss - as in the neural cascades of pleasure - that can
occur when soaking and meditating in the warm pool). Think again
Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with time slider and with OpenSim/SL but
realistic, and in all 7,099 living languages - and at the cellular and
atomic levels even - and the Google Brain project).
And I'd also interested in eventually exploring doing further extended
interviews with you of Harbin's history (and especially re our one
excellent interview from 2008 is transcribed in full in my book, I'm
glad again to say).
So, if you might be available to come to the UC Berkeley Anthropology
Department's Gifford room to talk about Harbin (and perhaps as a kind
of outreach to Berkeley students too) - and so that we might then talk
about Harbin together for a group of people there - what might be some
possible good dates for this. ... I just heard from Nelson Graburn,
and I could invite you to talk at a Tourism Studies' Working Group
meeting (all on Fridays around 5), potentially, and for Friday,
September 29th (there are some other open dates as an alternative).
These other dates are also still open:
September
29 ---------------------------- (available)
October
13th ------------------------------
20th ------------------------------
November
3rd ------------------------------
December
8th ------------------------------
( :) I wouldn't call a possible talk / interview with you "Ish in Two
Worlds" (re UC Berkeley's Alfred Kroeber's wife Theodora Kroeber's
book "Ishi in Two Worlds" -
https://www.ucpress.edu/book.p
Yahi Indian, who lived at the University of California for some
decades, I think, with museum exhibits about him in the Kroeber
Anthropology building's Hearst Museum), but I might call our possible
conversation something like
"Talk with University of California students with Harbin Hot Springs'
founder by Robert Hartley (Ishvara), founder of Harbin Hot Springs
(since 1972), and of Heart Consciousness Church there (since 1975) re
the new anthropology book "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm
Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin"" :)
May I invite you, Ishvara, to have a conversation about Harbin at UC
Berkeley on F September 29th (or one of the other above dates)? Thank
you.
(On here with bringing together my next book of Harbin-inspired
poetry, due out this autumn from the Press at WUaS).
Gratefully,
Scott

Right now there is no bookstore. I have not seen any of your writings.
I have not seen your books and am assuming we would like them. Sometime people who have a lot of energy are not welcome to be involved with us and I do not get the word on each person. Should that be the case, I shall go with what they say. I am not suggesting this is the case, but it has happened in the past with people with a lot of energy and I do not want it said that I am going against them. So this is like a fine print legal disclaimer. As it is, I welcome your energy, interest and intent. Love, Ishvara
Here's more regarding aging reversal genetic drug therapies emerging, from Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church, in a 60 Minutes' 66 second's interview with Scott Pelley -
"How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?" (2019)
"Aging reversal is something that's been proven about eight different ways in animals," geneticist George Church says. So when will humans get to turn back the clock? Church tells 60 Minutes it's not that far away. See the full report, Sunday'
60 Minutes
https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk
AND more re MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch and Aging_Reversal_Genetics too +
"Dr. Church predicted that human aging could be eradicated by the year 2030....The therapy that aims to reverse aging in people involves gene modification at cellular level" https://www.lifeextension.com/

I wrote this back in 2017 I think -
"Thanks for considering coming to give a talk/for a conversation at UC
Berkeley. (I wonder if Alexa as a Harbin MD might like to do such a
possible, what I'll call now, "Teaching Harbin" talk at UC Berkeley
(since she's a Cal alumna, and her sister lives in Berkeley) ... as
Harbin outreach especially, and re the Cal Anthropology department
(and my Harbin book) ... but could inquire with her or other Harbin
MDs about this at some point in the future.
Thanks too for your correspondence a number of times over the past few
days and the invitation to soak - and when you're soaking in the warm
pool - in the autumn of 2015 possibly (which you said is every Sunday
these days around 5pm).
I think I'd like to head to Harbin this Sunday, 9/17, and also to give
you my Harbin book (and potentially to eventually sell it in your
upcoming bookstore when you open in early 2018). And would plan to
come back to the Bay Area this Sunday evening after soaking and
potentially after seeing you, and giving you "Naked Harbin
Ethnography." Seems like Harbin could make a fair amount of money off
this book ... especially if people could see it before and after they
soak (like by returning their camping passes in the past, or similar,
but so that they pass through any possible upcoming bookstore a second
time). I'll call first.
I seek to keep my high energy low, and friendly, on people's radars in
a warm-watery Taoist kind of way.
Hoping possibly to talk about Cuttyhunk and Padanaram-South Dartmouth
at some point in the future.
Gratefully,
Scott"
I think I have a copy of the book"Naked Harbin Ethnography" buried
deep in storage in the SF Bay Area in the East Bay ... and would
further like to give it to you when I see you next, (and when I find
it in storage).
Love, Scott

Greetings! How are you?
I found a paper copy for you of my "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality and Virtual Harbin" book (2016, San Francisco, CA: Academic Press at World Univ & Sch, a new publisher, and not yet translated into any of the other 7164 known living languages with machine translation, and by human translators too) yesterday, while digging deep into my temporary storage in the East Bay of the SF Bay Area yesterday ... (and while going to a Stanford Law School panel event on US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (who died in 2023) after that). What's the best way to get "Naked Harbin Ethnography" to you ? In the Harbin front square pool where we met last week I think? It's in a Berkeley Bowl bag, which is only a little water resistant. :)
Looking forward to some soaking meditations today and tomorrow, after checking in ...

PS
And could Harbin even sell it retailing for $64.95 in the Reception Office 'bookstore'? )
