About Me

Profile modified by: The CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor "look fairly and see clearly. Of the two wheels of this machine, which posses the unmarred symbolism which denotes the hub of Man, the Spokes of pre-History, the Rim of Medievalism, the Tyres of civilization? It is the first wheel, the former wheel, the wheel which both leads and commands; in its simple grandeur it may be called the true image of Man's Estate. This is the famous wheel of fire, the prayer wheel of the Tibetans, the wheel of St. Catherine, the wheel of fate. In the rear wheel we see a meaner revelation-Man enchained with chains of grit and oil, driven not by love, not by ambition, but by the most ignoble and ludicrous, sparsely-haired and sweating, malodorous and malformed parts of the human body; I mean the feet.'ADRIAN MITCHELL. (If you See Me Comin') -----/MATT SALPIETRO PHOTO/------

My Interests

the center on the cyclone----the center of the cyclone is that rising quite central low-pressure place in which one can learn to live eternally. just outside of this center is the rotating storm of one's own ego, competeing with other egos is a furious high-velocity circular dance. as one leaves the center, the roar of the rotating wind deafens one more and more as one joins the dance. one's centered thinking-feeling-being, one's own Satoris, are in the center only, not outside. one's anti-satori modes of functioning, one's self-created hells, are outside the center. in the center of the cyclone one is off the wheel of karma, of life, rising to join the creatures of the universe, the creatures of us. here we find we have created them who are us.-John C. Lilly, M.D.
