“All of us, whether or not we are warriors, have a cubic centimeter of chance that pops out in front of our eyes from time to time. The difference between an average man and a warrior is that the warrior is aware of this, and one of his tasks is to be alert, deliberately waiting, so that when his cubic centimeter pops out he has the necessary speed, the prowess, to pick it up.” ― Carlos Castaneda
“Conflict is natural, the unstirred milk becomes putrid. Without an enemy, Gods fire would cease. Without struggle, how could Gods compassion exist? Why do we fight our natural state. We are a way to experience ourselves. Welcome all things as part of you. Welcome the primal nobility of mankind as free to do as it wilt.”“
One must take some very simple, very deep word, which cuts at the heart of things. The Buddha did not attack caste and so on; he just said “Anata” and Hinduism crumbled at the touch. So, Mohammed said “Allahu achad” and upset the whole show. I say Thelema. Go on, therefore, preaching this and nothing else, in season and out of season. You won’t have to wait long for results. You must however be ready to explain that it does not mean surrendering to every whim, but the reverse. It involves finding out Who you are, and why you came into this world, and never swerving a hair’s breadth from that Will. It’s Ekagata plus Gnana, more or less. But simpler. – Aleister Crowley
Hey Boys and Girls. Uncle Gary is going to give you a piece of advice on how to avoid unnecessary drama. When people come to you with a tale about other people, even if its juicy gossip, don’t pass it on. Don’t return it to the source just take that bag and unless you have some plants that need fertilization, dispose of that shit. I have never had good results from passing on that kind of shit and it has a bad tendency to blow back in one’s face and no one wants to be smelling that.
Empty seductive whispers
leading me towards new understanding
The interplay of my own darkness
and my own light
Dancing in the day
and shadow dreaming at night
enveloped in the void
For a long time now I have been avoiding adopting a more public persona. I have been considering of late tho whether by doing so, I am hurting myself financially. I have seen it time and time again. Writers and Artists and Magicians who put their faces out there, do podcasts and interviews and wrap themselves in controversy the way others wrap themselves in blankets at night and they become known. They become famous (or infamous) and they make sales.
If I made podcasts besides sending people screaming and turning off the image, would it translate? Does my work as is speak for itself? One thing I have learned is that I cannot expect others to speak for me.
It’s been fantastic that more and more writers wish to use my art. A few of them are kind enough to mention me from time to time (others not so much). Yet, I feel that there needs to be some kind of push to further myself. What will its nature be? Watch this spot and find out
With shield and sword
I enter into unknown places
to heal myself from this malaise
Guides I have
who appear at need
definitely not at will.
These places are soft and illusory
yet the dangers are real
Will I lose myself or find
that which will fix
the broken spaces in heart and body?
I get told by people, somewhat frequently, that my art echoes what is going on in their minds or their lives at the time. I consider it a high compliment. Am I tapping into some zeitgeist of the moment or am I perhaps stimulating areas of the imagination that people weren’t aware that they have? Perhaps I am becoming as in tune as I would like to be and gaining the archetypal awareness that I aspire to have. Perhaps we are all mad here and that’s not such a bad thing
Night’s whisperings
A whisper from the crossroads ignites me
Do I hear her call ?
Can I follow where she leads?
The door is there and I walk through
in the dark of the moon
I will give all
until there is nothing left
and then I will welcome the naught
If someone, even someone who is knowledgeable with a reputation in their field, says something is possible then they are most likely right. If that same expert says something is impossible, then they are most likely wrong.
The world / universe is not only stranger than we think, it’s stranger than we can think. This might be an oft-quoted cliché but I have found it to be true.
Something may be possible but that does not mean it is likely.
One of the fastest ways to leave your comfort zone and gain knowledge is to do something that you once considered impossible to do.
