I'd like to meet:
Those who can laugh at themselves. I also love meeting wacky individuals with a healthy disrespect for convention.
"The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without. Inevitably anyone with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes authority or established conventions': a Rebel.
If enough people come to agree with, and follow, the Rebel, we now have a Devil. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have Greatness." - Crowley
"God is that whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere."
In this space of choice, there will be none who will cause me fear, who will bar my way, or who will do me harm. The only person capable of doing these things is myself, but I have chosen aright.
It was absolutely shocking to see Deepak Chopra praise the work of occultist Grant Morrison, specificaly his "Invisibles" comic. They both basically say the same things in their works, so it's not truly shocking, but Deepak is usually associated with fuzzy feel-good literature. I'm thrilled to see him expose the genius of Morrison. Video link below.
