In this player are some of my older originals. I can see the Daoist in me screaming to be heard in "Remembrance of Thought."

Namaste. In 1996, My "Kundeleni" awoke and has started me on my spiritual journey. I cultivate Tao regularly and strive to lead a balanced life as free from conflict as possible. I have no expectations other than to experience the joys and pleasures of life. Just think of me as a fellow being with many interests who's just flowing through the river of life. I don't plan ahead and love life's many surprises. I am, therefore I am here to experience.
I love philosophical conversations and pondering the meaning of everything. I never cement myself to a viewpoint and am always open to better ideas than my own. That's all part of the growth process, and it prevents me from getting mentally lazy.
QUOTES THAT KEEP ME ON MY TOES
Enlightment is simply not perceiving through the lens of ego. Adyashanti
No power can influence me in anything. - U.G. Krishnamurti
Those who follow Tao don't seek to arrive anywhere, so their journey is never over. -Lao Tzu
Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need. -Voltaire
It Does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. - Confuscius
“If you ever meet the Buddha on the path, Kill him.”
Those who understand others are intelligent. Those who understand themselves are enlightened." Tao Te Ching
If you say one single thing that I have the urge to defend, that thing is the very pearl waiting inside me to be discovered. Byron Katie
Most people don’t inhabit a living reality but a conceptualized one. Eckhart Tolle
Attachment to things drop away when you no longer seek to find yourself in them. Eckhart Tolle
To love is to recognize yourself in another. Eckhart Tolle
If you can be absolutely comfortable with not knowing who you are, then what’s left is who you are. Eckhart Tolle
To the extent that a man is guided by his rational judgment, he acts in accordance with the requirements of his nature and, to that extent, succeeds in achieving a human form of survival and well-being; to the extent that he acts irrationally, he acts as his own destroyer. Ayn Rand
I doubt everything, even my own doubts. Star Trek Voyager, Blink of an Eye.
Non-resistance, non-judgement and non-attachment are the three aspects of true enlightenment. Eckhart Tolle
I see anarchism as the theoretical ideal to which we are all gradually evolving to a point where everybody can tell the truth to everybody else and nobody can get punished for it. That can only happen without hierarchy and without people having the authority to punish other people. Robert Anton Wilson, the Utopia USA Interview
If you want really to learn something, school is the last place to go. U.G. Krishnamurti
"When the movement in the direction of becoming something other than what you are isn't there any more, you are not in conflict with yourself." U.G. Krishnamurti
One of the penalties for not taking an interest in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors". --Plato
An individualist is a man who says: "I will not run anyone's life - nor let anyone run mine. I will not rule or be ruled. I will not be a master nor a slave. I will not sacrifice myself to anyone - nor sacrifice anyone to myself. Ayn Rand

Music:

Currently, I'm listening to mostly noise and space...Lustmord, Robert Rich, Steven Roach and Bass Communion in particular. I also love classic jazz, syrupy seventies light rock, khoomei throat singing, Porcupine Tree, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Cure, The Beatles, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Peter Murphy, The Cure, The Church, Bjork, Dead Can Dance, The Smiths, Annie Lennox, Kate Bush, Natacha Atlas and too many others to mention.

Television:

I'm not really into television because most of it is dull and unimaginative. I take exception to Lost and Pushing Daisies.

Books:

Tao Te Ching, A New Earth, Writer's Journey, Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy Series, Itzhak Bentov, Atlas Shrugged and pretty much anything by the late great Ayn Rand

Heroes:

I don't believe in heros as I don't believe in belief. But these great minds helped free me from dogmatic thought, so they come pretty close: Lao Tzu, The Buddha, Socrates, U.G. Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle
