i like pushing the limits of my own reality (and adopting the numerous and growing points methodology in supposition with doing so). i like interacting with beings that have something mindblowing to express(in any form that manifests).

Great understanding is broad and unhurried; little understanding is cramped and busy. Great words are clear and limpid; little words are shrill and quarrelsome. In sleep, men's spirits go visiting; in waking hours, their bodies hustle. With everything they meet they become entangled. Day after day they use their minds in strife, sometimes grandiose, sometimes sly, sometimes petty. Their little fears are mean and trembly; their great fears are stunned and overwhelming. They bound off like an arrow or crossbow pellet, certain that they are the arbiters of right and wrong. They cling to their position as though they had sworn before the gods, sure that they are holding on to victory. They fade like fall and winter--such is the way they dwindle day by day. They drown in what they do --you cannot make them turn back. They grow dark, as though sealed with seals--such are the excesses of their old age. And when their minds draw near to death, nothing can restore them to the light .

Joy, anger, grief, delight, worry, regret, fickleness, inflexibility, modesty, willfulness, candor, insolence--music from empty holes, mushrooms springing up in dampness, day and night replacing each other before us, and no one knows where they sprout from. Let it be! Let it be! It is enough that morning and evening we have them, and they are the means by which we live. Without them we would not exist; without us they would have nothing to take hold of. This comes close to the matter. But I do not know what makes them they way they are. It would seem as though they have some True Master, and yet I find no trace of him. He can act--that is certain. Yet I cannot see his form. He has identity but no form.
