About Me

As an aspiring writer, I spend a great deal of my free time reading, writing and researching. Most of my educational background has centered around social psychology and human behavior. My research focuses greatly on mythology & theology, "shamanism", the evolution of human consciousness, and our interpretations of reality and individual self. The history of human expression in art and symbolism also plays a great part in my studies and interests. I have always had a great love of philosophy, art and history, and find it a great thrill to study the ancient worlds, cultures and beliefs of mankind throughout our history. As a book lover and writer at heart, I plan to publish my own books and perhaps even illustrated short stories. Along with my various interests, I collect Shamanic antiques and tribal artifacts, with great focus on Mesoamerican (Aztec, Mayan) and Native American (Sioux, Navajo, Hopi, etc) cultures. My collection has quite a few fine pieces, several of which are truly museum quality, and I'm happy to preserve such beautiful memorabilia. While I currently work in the land of AmeriKKKan corporate madness, my passion is for enlightenment and artistic expression. In general, I'm highly self-reflective, quite down to earth, very honest (sometimes too much so), passionate, and a bit eccentric. "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." - Ralph Waldo Emerson"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."
- Carl Jung"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." - Edgar Allan Poe"To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally, by Mind at Large - this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone and especially to the intellectual." - Aldous Huxley"I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition [Christianity] one redeeming feature. They are all alike, founded upon fables and mythologies." - Thomas Jefferson, 3rd US President (1801-1809)"Reason, Observation and Experience - the Holy Trinity of Science - have taught us that happiness is the only good; that the time to be happy is now, and the way to be happy is to make others so. This is enough for us. In this belief we are content to live and die. If by any possibility the existence of a power superior to, and independent of, nature shall be demonstrated, there will then be time enough to kneel. Until then, let us stand erect." - Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods", 1872"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." - Plato"The images of the unconscious place a great responsibility upon a man. Failure to understand them, or a shirking of ethical responsibility, deprives him of his wholeness and imposes a painful fragmentariness on his life." - Carl Jung"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." - Albert Einstein"A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education." - George Bernard Shaw"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being." - Carl Jung"I believe in the religion of reason - the gospel of this world; in the development of the mind, in the accumulation of intellectual wealth, to the end that man may free himself from superstitious fear, to the end that he may take advantage of the forces of nature to feed and clothe the world." - Robert Ingersoll, "Why Am I An Agnostic?", 1896"If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on." - Terence McKenna"I take upon myself all that appears negative, unsavoury, perverse and obscene, the lust and the resulting sacrificial hysteria, in order to spare YOU the defilement and shame entailed by the descent into the extreme." - Herman Nitsch"Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves." - Elias Canetti"I am for integrity, if only because life is very short and truth is hard to come by." - Kermit Eby"Some men see things as they are and say, 'Why?' I dream of things that never were and say, 'Why not?'" - George Bernard Shaw"Like all dreamers I confuse disenchantment with truth." - Jean-Paul Sartre"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom." - Albert Einstein"Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, 'Something is out of tune.'" - Carl Jung"To fall in hell or soar angelic, you need a pinch of psychedelic" - Dr. Humphrey Osmond

He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself." - H.L. Mencken"Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck." - Immanuel Kant"Human history begins with man's act of disobedience which is at the very same time the beginning of his freedom and development of his reason." - Erich Fromm"This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves." - Robert G. Ingersoll, "An Interview on Chief Justice Comegys", Brooklyn Eagle, 1881"The clergy know that I know that they know that they do not know." - Robert Ingersoll, "Orthodoxy", 1884

Movies:

"Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them." - Pauline Kael"The head of the Film Liaison Office makes no secret of his goals: flattering the US Army, winning support for its actions on the battlefield, and encouraging more soldiers to sign up. In short: pure propaganda." - History Channel's Hollywood and the Pentagon I do Love films and consider them modern storytelling, as ancients did with folktales around campfires, but now with visuals provided by a screen of light. Today in America it is all about money, this is capitalism. Few movies make it through the Market-Researched, Corporate-Machine these days with soul or originality, but some try. In the end, it is all propaganda, and often more than we know... The plastic, superficial, greed-oriented world that is film, television (And more and more America), is a "beast which cannot be fed."And, with that said...Some of my favorite films: Bladerunner, 2001: A Space Odyssey , DUNE, Pink Floyd's The Wall, KOYAANISQATSI (Qatsi Trilogy), Magnolia, Brazil, The Abyss, The Fifth Element, Children of Men, Jacob's Ladder, AKIRA, ALIENS, Altered States, Matrix, Fight Club, Gattaca, Easy Rider, Godfather I-III, Goodfellas, Scarface, The Wicker Man(1973), The Man Who Would Be King, Steppenwolf, 13th Warrior, 300, K-PAX, The Lost Boys, Heavy Metal, Wizards, The Elephant Man, Natural Born Killers, Ghost in the Shell, Equilibrium, Dances With Wolves, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, Waking Life, 12 Monkeys, Donnie Darko, The Prestige, The Illusionist, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I Heart the Huckabees, PAPRIKA, Science of Sleep, City of Lost Children, Legend, Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, MirrorMask, Pan's Labyrinth, The Fountain, Secret of NIMH, Manhunter, Soylent Green, The Omega Man, The Island, Aeon Flux, Minority Report, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, What Dreams May Come, Last of the Mohicans, Where the Buffalo Roam, Wall Street, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Naked, BLOW, Stargate, Videodrome, Taxi Driver, American Psycho, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Dr. Strangelove, Existence, Punch Drunk Love, Sneakers, Willow, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Howl's Moving Castle, Edward Scissorhands, Contact, Scanner Darkly, Eyes Wide Shut, Vanilla Sky, Element of Crime, Crash, They Live, Back to the Future I-III, Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy, Yellow Submarine, Disney's Alice in Wonderland, and many more...DOCUMENTARIES (Click to watch!):

Television:

"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." - William Colby , former Director of the CIA "You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month." - Philip Graham, publisher of the Washington Post , regarding availability & prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories."I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"TV is the opiate of the masses , I tend to just watch mostly films (which is like the coca of the masses), and a lot of documentaries. I do enjoy Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Science Channel, Comedy Central and Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. A few of my favorite shows over the years have included:MST3K, SNL, Flying Circus, Kids in the Hall, Black Adder, Penn & Teller's Bullshit , South Park, Family Guy, The Smurfs , He-Man , "V" Mini Series , Alien Nation: The Series , Jim Henson's STORYTELLER, BBC: Blue Planet , Deadwood , Dexter, Weeds, House, Colbert Report, The Daily Show..."One of television’s great contributions is that it brought murder back into the home, where it belongs." - Alfred Hitchcock"I think television has betrayed the meaning of democratic speech, adding visual chaos to the confusion of voices. What role does silence have in all this noise?" - Federico Fellini"The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominate political mythology." - Michael Parenti
