Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.""The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation."

The flash, the illumination. The electric trip. The sudden bolt of energy that starts the new system. It was the flash that exploded the galaxies, from which all energy flows. It was the spark that ignites in the mysterious welding of amino-acid strands that creates the humming vine of organic life. It is the brilliant neurological glare that illuminates the shadow's of man's mind. The God-intoxicated revelation. The divine union. The vision of harmony, samadhi, satori, ecstasy which we now call psychedelic.""ANARCHISM, the name given to the principle or theory of life and conduct under which society
is conceived without government -- harmony in such a society being
obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but
by free agreements concluded between the various groups, territorial and
professional, freely constituted for the sake of production and
consumption, as also for the satisfaction of the infinite variety of needs
and aspirations of a civilized being."
Sounds Like: a subtle mix of the sound of one hand clapping, Fnord, and the pronunciation of the metathunderword of God found in James joyce's Finnegan's Wake!!!!!!"In a mystical sense the Shadow typifies the darkness that supersedes the lightning flash of cosmic ecstasy adumbrated biologically by the subtle alchemy of sexual congress. Woman, as the prime instigator of orgasm, is the supreme shadow, the doubling agent through which the mind reproduces and materializes its imagery. To this end she reifies in human form the scintillant Fire Snake known to the Adepts as the Kundalini.""CHAOS NEVER DIED. Primordial uncarved block, sole worshipful monster, inert & spontaneous, more ultraviolet than any mythology (like the shadows before Babylon), the original undifferentiated oneness-of-being still radiates serene as the black pennants of Assassins, random & perpetually intoxicated.""Doubt - because doubt is not a sin, it is a sign of your intelligence!""We cheerfully predict that, within only a few tneks, some Terran primate gazing at a chessboard will intuit in a flash that the repeated pattern of black-white-black-white-black-white etc, is the peak and crest of a sine wave, entirely simliar to their own +-+-+-+-+- brain process. In short, a philosopher will arise among them to announce that the illusion of a continuous ego is caused by insufficient self-observation." - For the best essay EVER written on chess, read "From: The Order of the Illuminati, Sirius Section To: Galactic Central" in Robert Anton Wilson's "The Illumanati Papers"!
