Now for a limited time only you can view my profile for your amusement and edification. I will be leaving for grad school soon and will no longer have time for this, so I might as well be public while I still can.
“Since we all create our habitual reality-tunnels, either consciously and intelligently or unconsciously and mechanically, I prefer to create for each hour the most optimistic, funniest, and happiest reality-tunnel consistent with the signals my brain apprehends."(R.A.W. & I)
Utterly fascinated with complex machinery (i.e. neurophysiology/central nervous system circuitry), esoterica, qi, higher-circuit consciousness, and nature.
"We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces." Carl Sagan
"At the first Gate the guardian forced Ishtar to surrender her sandals, which the wise men say symbolize Will. And at the second gate Ishtar had to surrender her jeweled anklets - which the wise say means giving up Ego. And at the third gate She surrendered her robe, which is the hardest of all, because it means giving up Mind itself. And at the fourth Gate Ishtar surrendered her golden breastcups, which is giving up Sex role. And at the fifth gate She surrendered her necklace, which is giving up the rapture of Illumination. And at the sixth Gate she surrendered her earrings, which is giving up Magick. And finally, at the seventh gate, Ishtar surrendered her thousand petalled crown, which is giving up Goddesshead."
It was only thus, naked, that Ishtar could enter Eternity.
