Nestled in the leafy Willamette Valley, Eugene (pop. 137,000) is an unlikely hotbed of anarchism. In Seattle's 1999 antiglobalization protests, it was a group of Eugene activists who helped lead the mayhem; they formed part of the "Black Bloc" that broke windows and trashed stores.

You go to a stage where you are totally free of fear of dying. Or living. And that's what a yogi means in India. It is someone who has moved from body to the mind, to the soul, to awareness, to the subtle surrender to the superconsciousness.
