Something Meaningful

"But the man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less cocksure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable Mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend." - Aldous Huxley "The Doors of Perception"

about me
I am not done learning, and never will be. To live is to learn, whether about yourself, people that you care about, or the things that surround you. I am looking for people who are passionate, intelligent, and are not afraid to take chances and experience life. You can find me playing volleyball at the beach, at Burning Man events and parties, spending sleepless nights talking to strangers and friends about the meaning of life or nothing at all, hanging out at the coffee shop, or just wondering about the city. And I often have my camera with me. Going to Burning Man and being a part of this community made me realized how much good there is in the world and especially in people, and how an open heart and mind can create wonders.

More Profundity: The Medicine

“Liberation… the ending of sorrow, ceasing to be what you ignorantly think you are and becoming what you are in fact. For a little while, thanks to the moksha-medicine, you will know what its like to be what in fact you are, what in fact you always have been. What a timeless bliss! But, like everything else this timelessness is transient. Like everything else, it will pass. And when it has passed, what will you do with this experience? What will you do with all the other similar experiences that the moksha-medicine will bring you in the years to come? Will you merely enjoy them as you would enjoy an evening at the puppet show, and then go back to business as usual… Or, having glimpsed will you devote your lives to the business, not at all as usual, ob being what you are in fact? All that we older people can do with our teachings… is to provide you with the techniques and opportunities. And all that the moksha-medicine can do is give you a succession of beatific glimpses, an hour or two, every now and then, of enlightening and liberating grace. It remains for you to decide whether you’ll co-operate with the grace and take those opportunities.”
- Aldous Huxley, "The Island."

The only people for me are the mad ones

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"

What's On My Mind

Thank you all for coming to my party and bringing your friends. We had a great turnout, and I will definitely have another one soon.

I think Arcana opened a Pandora's door of confusion. See here: people.tribe.net/arcana39/...3692beb991

And then Bryan made it worse: people.tribe.net/bryanbuzz...c19879e4f2

At LIB people were calling me "dude" or "hey," which was very confusing, since I didn't know who they were referring to.

I don't even know who I am anymore. Like on this picture. I think I am the one one the right, but I am not sure. The three ... read more

Lets go!

This is the best electronic music event of the year. I am planning to go. Tickets are $55 now, but they will be going up in price to nearly $100, so I suggest you buy them now. Arcana and I already got our tickets. If you are are concerned about possibly selling the ticket if you cannot go, it will be possible to do so. Here is the reply I got from Groove Tickets Support:

Really interesting story in LA Times: www.latimes.com/features/m...18145.story

I've been reading a lot about it - being a fan of Terrence McKenna - and it is definitely on my to do list in the near future. Apparently it is legally available in Southern California, for now, due to the 2006 Supreme Court decision allowing its use under religions practices of a Brazillian church.

Here is another article (with a video!) about it in N... read more

This is from Environment California. Please share this with your family and friends and click on the link to sign the petition.

The governor wants to close Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve, Montana de Oro State Park, Will Rogers State Historic Park (which just finished a $5 million restoration!) and 45 other state parks throughout California.

What could he possibly be thinking? To tell you the truth, I have no idea. But one thing I do know: We have to nip this bad idea in the bud. If yo... read more
