About Me

Background image by Kwiksylver
Think left, think right
think low and think high.
Oh the the thinks you can think up
if only you try.
-Theodore Geisel (Doctor Seuss)
This will sound a bit weird to some of ye, but it isn't something I've just made up. It's been the experience of all kinds of people since thousands of years ago.
Anyways, I reckon you and me both are expressions of the same creative energy, as is all that exists. We are centres of awareness in the one all-pervading consciousness.
My name is Niall, or Phats. I like trippy things and my bed and chocolate and craic (that's what we call fun in Ireland) and sounds.
As the gap between rich and poor grows and millions starve, politicians their corporate buddies get obscenely rich by destroying our Earth and fellow people. It's up to everyone who thinks that's not cool and feels drawn to this to do something about it.
It seems that consciousness is evolving through humans. If we work towards inner & outer transformation by waking up to our true nature, we might be able to create the conditions for a world that's a bit less harsh and dangerous. So I hope to promote the integration of spiritual inquiry and political/ecological activism. A better explanation of all this will be in my blog some day when I get around to putting it there.
But, all this doesn't mean we can't have loads of craic in the meantime also.
