"It is the friend neither violent nor weak. The friend. It is the beloved neither tormenting nor tormented. The beloved. Air and the world not sought. Life."

Carl Sagan did the greatest job, of doing the job that needs doing. (intellectual boot camp)
Deepak Chopra is doing a warriors job. Not as focused on integrity of knowledge it sometime consern me. A more modified reality I guess is not a bad thing. And myth is not something to be fraid of.
Peter Gabriel _ a music arch angel. In my childhood I grew up kind of isolated place, a teacher tought me a love or oriental and primal cultures. While I never questioned reality at that age. Through the learning of martial arts and the atmosphere of full time student I was introduced to deeper meditation. Perhaps not the same as growing up in a monestary, but as close it gets in american culture. Albums like Birdy and Security were the perfect soundtracks to this time.lately would probably be David Bohm .. a great philospher and scientist. (should listen to his documentaries or video's) And Sam Harris in his documentary 'THE END OF FAITH; Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason' does a great job of birthing intelligence in the geopolitical structure of our society.Some other documentaries that are great. (and i list this under hero's because teaching is our greatest job):
Native American Teachings by Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow)
The Dancing Wu Li Master - (comes in book form, but the documentary is a totaly different experience)
The Elegant Universe - umm.. i forget authors name. But a zen like walk through cosmology and physical science. (as is most the others i listed in one sense or another)
The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is sounding pretty good but i've not listened to all the tapes yet. - or in order.
