"But [John and Yoko] were into all sorts of crazy stuff, stuff I don't know the half of. Hints of it keep coming out in books, but you never know if you can believe them."

"Linda and me came over for dinner once, and John said, 'You fancy getting that trepanning thing done?' I said, 'Well, what is it?' He said, 'You kind of have a hole bored in your skull and it relieves the pressure.' We're sitting at dinner and this is seriously being offered! Now, this wasn't a joke. This was like, 'Let's go next week, we know a guy who can do it, and maybe we can all go together."

-- from the October 1986 Musician Magazine interview

The reference to books almost certainly refers in part to Dakota Days, by the Lennons' tarot card reader John Green.

The idea of being being trepanned was implanted in John's mind by "Magic" Alex Mardas. He touted the idea as a way of awakening the mind's "third eye" and effecting instant "cosmic consciousness."

Dakota Days is the first enjoyable book I have read about John Lennon's last years. The extremes Yoko went to to keep him under her thrall are, though tragic, also hilarious...

I'm thrilled to encounter another fan of Dakota Days! I like it very much. In fact, I had hoped to get in touch with John Green -- only to eventually learn he had died after living for a time on the west coast. Also, the book's publishers edited out enormous sections of Green's work, and the book's title was not the one Green had wanted. These are some of the things I had hoped to talk about with him.

Anyway, the resulting work is nonetheless thoroughly interesting and insightful. How about that section where John was in Hong Kong, attempting to remove his "various subpersonalities"? Or Yoko's purchase ("through a man I'll call 'Dan G.'" -- obviously Sam Green) of the Egyptian sarcophagus because she believed it contained an earlier incarnation of herself?

Yeah, the book is essential reading for Lennonologists.

Yeah. That was always on the cards ...

I agree. Absolutely hilarious. Does she think she is Isis?

Yeah, something like that. Yoko believed she was an important Egyptian entity in a previous incarnation. It's not just in John Green's book. Consider the Feeling the Space album cover, on which Yoko had her face imposed on an Egyptian monument. Or Chet Flippo's "The Private Years," which says that Yoko would attend business meetings in an ancient Egyptian headdress. Or Yoko's admission in the Playboy interview that she purchased artefacts for their magic powers.

Remember how big pop Egyptology was in the 70s? It was also over the media.. There was that kids' show "Isis" on TV; Leonard Nimoy did an episode of "In Search Of..." on the Mummy's Curse; there were movies, and the King Tut exhibit was on tour. It was everywhere. I had a friend who taught history, and he never forgot that in the 1970s, he'd see students studying in the library with pyramid-shaped hats, believing that the hats would improve their recall.

The difference is, Yoko, being a narcissist, was able to believe that she was at the origin of all this -- just as earlier she had claimed to have invented various art forms, music styles, and social trends. Also, John's money enabled her to travel to Egypt and purchase artefacts.

Yoko never met a social fad or a superstition that she couldn't immerse herself in.
