About Me

I am an Alchemist... I am constantly working to transform lead into gold, that is to take the burdens and negativity that drag me, and those around me, down; and turn them into uplifting and positive energy that will render progression. I have seen more than most, been in some sticky situations and, only because of a grand design, managed to pull through. Change starts from the most basic elements, and from within one's self; by changing one's self (ego: that part of us that we have constructed to survive in our world. i.e.: persona)we effectively change the world around us. As Above, So Below."This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it." Abraham Lincoln

My Interests

I have a genuine interest in just about everything to some degree, but I guess I'm most interested in what makes people tick. I'm a natural born psychologist, and a dangerous predator. So be careful.

Music:

One should never attempt to create Magik... but should let their whole being be an interpretation of it.

Movies:

"In emptiness there is good but no evil. Wisdom exists, logic exists, the Way exists, mind is empty…not knowing the laws of warriors is not emptiness, being confused, one may call a state of helplessness emptiness, but this is not real emptiness…" -Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings

Books:

Hunter S. Thompson, Carl Jung, Terence Mckenna, Carlos Castenada, Dan Millman, Edgar Alan Poe, Charles Bukowski... Ohh so many others. Mostly non-fiction, I really dig educational books, especially old text books and "how to" types.

Heroes:

Any and all seekers of truth, and definitely this guy....
