the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is. - Allan Watts

About Me

“The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.”

- Aleister Crowley

My Interests

going off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, then understanding that you're connected with everything.

I'd like to meet:

Melvin VanPeebles:

---"I make a film like I cook for friends. I hope they like it, but if they don't, I'm prepared to enjoy it all by myself."

Television:

“The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one's neighbor and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell.”

- Aleister Crowley

Books:

“If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad. But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad."

- Aleister Crowley

Heroes:

Alan Watts

--- "If you awaken from this illusion, and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death - or shall I say, death implies life - you can conceive yourself."

Rene Descartes

--- "I think; therefore I am.."

Aleister Crowley:

---“To the eyes of a god, mankind must appear as a species of bacteria which multiply and become progressively virulent whenever they find themselves in a congenial culture, and whose activity diminishes until they disappear completely as soon as proper measures are taken to sterilize them.”
