Stop All the Clocks: More Conversations with Shaman, Taiji Master, Rainforest Jef Crab became a book accidentally, as the result of online chats with Jef. It’s now out in print.
Watch for the audio book. Jef is coming up from his home in Suriname, on the edge of the rainforest, to read his chat lines. Did I say chat lines? Rather;
Stop All the Clocks is not an interview. It’s a séance.
In this haunting, often hilarious, and wildly original collection, Jef Crab doesn’t just answer questions — he disrupts time. Across these conversations, you’re not flipping pages — you’re falling into a philosophical rabbit hole shaped like a funhouse mirror.
Think: Beckett meets Burroughs in a dive bar run by Borges.
Jef Crab, part mystic, part trickster, responds with riddles, reversals, and gut-punch truths. Each exchange feels like a miniature detonation — intimate, bizarre, and strangely healing.
This is a book that wrestles with:
• ⏳ The absurdity of time and memory
• 🌀 Language as a trap and a tool
• 🔥 How to stay human in a world engineered to flatten you
Whether you’re a philosopher, poet, or chaos enthusiast, Stop All the Clocks will leave you rattled, laughing, and slightly rearranged.
MORE: Ron Whitehead is a third spectacular reader for this audio.
Back to Stop All the Clocks.
The book opens with my death that didn’t happen. And how I saw the diversion-from-head-on-confrontation-with-death in a vision over ten years before. Yes, I saw it stopped in its tracks, and the enactment waited years to step into Life. But it did. And got stopped in its tracks. For how long? We never know. But it’s three years later, and the diversion to another Life Track is holding solid.
This book dives deeply into the consciousness of An Underground PRINCIPIA, acting as a wizard wand to reveal its secrets. Reviewing An Underground PRINCIPIA in 2024, Jef Crab worried: “How many people will be able to grasp the depth of the principles you describe? It is amazing enough that you take a lifetime of experiences and connect them into a driving force that leads to the realization of one’s purpose. Even more amazing is that you include the most subtle levels of existence that play a role in these processes. Most breathtakingly, by reading An Underground PRINCIPIA, the reader can gain the insight that all of this is happening, not in one lifetime, whether human or universal, but in an eternal now. Amazing achievement.”
Why not complement that depth with very accessible personal stories? reveal deeply mystical, miraculous consciousness experiences that neither even knew the other had had.? Turn the obstacle into a Giant Opportunity? And so with Jef in a house he built in Suriname, on the edge of the rainforest, and Margaret in Raleigh, NC, the Skype chats began.
They flowed out and barely needed refinements. However, I did surround them with context and interesting, related odds and ends. The topics ranged far and wide but kept coming back to “the Earth.” And also to our experiences and spiritual initiations, what we have learned, on it. Living on the edge of the rainforest in Suriname, Jef has a particular point of view that he not only believes but lives. It fits right in with my perspectives and values. So we were off into a gripping dialogue. Join us. And write to me any questions and reactions. Should we do a follow-up?
