Re: blogger pictures (in Raw Wisdom) "Jon stop fighting. You are sending out negative wibes."

I beg your pardon, Mr. "All druggies should die".

Of course not. You are in a state of mind right now. However, there is a specif... read more

Re: Did it to ourselves - a rant (in Raw Wisdom) You can't really expect the market to support inferior products at higher prices(unless you advertise the fuck out it). But don't worry. With the rising price of oil, pretty soon everything will have to made locally. It would've gone more in th... read more

Memories (blog entry) I just stumbled across this old photo of me at age 16(check out where I am). Although it was only 9 years ago, it seems as ancient as the megaliths behind me. How many lifes can one live in one physical incarnation? The number of lifes I've liv... read more

Maybe Logic, continued... (blog entry) COMMITTEE FOR SURREALIST INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS OF THE NORMAL


Dublin, 1986. I had given a talk to the Irish Science-Fiction Society and the question period began.

"Do you believe in UFOs?" somebody asked.

"Yes, of course," I answered.

My Blog

I just stumbled across this old photo of me at age 16(check out where I am). Although it was only 9 years ago, it seems as ancient as the megaliths behind me. How many lifes can one live in one physical incarnation? The number of lifes I've lived between then and now, the amount of growth I've undergone, the numerous different "phases" of my life, simply boggles my mind. The location of the photo is really perfect, because at the time I was Wiccan. Between then and now, I've been a Buddh... read more

COMMITTEE FOR SURREALIST INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS OF THE NORMAL


Dublin, 1986. I had given a talk to the Irish Science-Fiction Society and the question period began.

"Do you believe in UFOs?" somebody asked.

"Yes, of course," I answered.

The questioner, who looked quite young, then burst into a long speech, "proving" at least to his own satisfaction that all UFOs "really are" sun-dogs or heat inversions. When he finally ran down I simply replied,

"Well, we both agree that UFOs ... read more

I DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING

This remark was made, in these very words, by John Gribbin, physics editor of New Scientist magazine, in a BBC-TV debate with Malcolm Muggeridge, and it provoked incredulity... read more

It's recently dawned on me just how ego-centric I am. In conversations, I often find myself waiting for my turn to speak. I tend to obsess about my problems without paying as much attention to those of others. I find myself thinking of people in terms of what they can do for me. When this kind of realization hits, it can be an eye-opener, and not a pleasant reality to face. Here I was thinking of myself as a kind, generous, spiritual being. And yet even my kindness came from ego. So wh... read more

What's the rush? Why so desperate to escape this world? Why should we fear our bodies and the earth which spawned us? I see so much beauty in the world. Why would I want to leave this place behind? I'm not sure what enlightenment is, but for a lot of people who claim to seek it, it seems more like escapism. It seems a more worthy pursuit to embody the entire Tree of Life, from Kether to Malkuth. Shiva and Shakti, Mother Earth and Father Sky, the immanent and the transcendent...it seems... read more
