What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: “This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence—even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: “You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.” If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you as you are or perhaps crush you. The question in each and every thing, “Do you desire this once more and innumerable times more?” would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight. Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?

Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity has recently been challenged under the most extreme conditions so far, and emerged victorious. A pulsar and a white-dwarf were recently discovered orbiting each other, providing a unique arena to test gravitational theories. Though some of the scientists expected the theory to fail, the findings were consistent with what Einstein had laid out in 1915.

How To Hallucinate Without Drugs ( Top 10 )

........10. Drumming 
Tribal drumming is a traditional ritual technique used by shamans to enter the spiritual world. The practice is thousands of years old and is passed down the generations as a way of keeping in contact with their ancestors or seeking healing advice. The repetitive nature of tribal drumming is key to the hallucinations it can produce. The short repetitive sequencing in tribal drumming reduces the amount of sensory input and encourages the brain to generate images and feelings which are spiritual or mystical in nature. Earl Vickers wrote a nice article about tribal drumming, music and consciousness which you can read about here (musicandconsciousness)

I'm in a really good place spiritually. So, please fuck off. Namaste.

The Simple Truth About Happiness

“The opposite of happiness isn’t sadness — it’s boredom.”
  Tim Ferriss

We are vain and we are blind

Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

— Arthur C. Clarke

    i quite like myself
    slouched over a television with a broken remote,
    pale skin alive with glowing colours 
    at 3:33 in the morning

    i think i am at my best
    when i am hovered
    over the kitchen sink just after dark
    running hot water
    over my raw fingers

    i feel great
    when i am sprawled across my bed
    crying before i even wake up
    sun pushing, unwanted,
    through a dirty window

    i am very happy with who i am
    i say aloud in the car
    all alone
    while i consider driving into a tree

    i am very happy with who i am

I suddenly awoke in the middle of this dream, but only to the consciousness that I am dreaming and that I must go on dreaming lest I perish - as the sleepwalker has to go on dreaming in order to avoid falling down."

"In short, my vision of a responsible free society is one in which we discourage evil, but do not prohibit it. We make our children and students aware of the consequences of drug abuse and other forms of irresponsible behavior. But after all our persuading, if they still want to use harmful drugs, that is their privilege. In a free society, individuals must have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don't threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others. They must also suffer the consequences of their actions, as it is from consequences that they learn to choose properly."

“And as imagination bodies forth the forms of things unknown, the poet's pen turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothings a local habitation and a name.” 

- William Shakespeare

Snow flakes rolling over my car, goose bumbing weather
If I'm hungry at 4:30 in the morning,
Pink dot will deliver
And I'm oh so tired of you pushing that thorny crown
Down onto my head so hard,
My knees are two inches in the ground
And I said, God damn, God damn that Bible pushin' man
You know I smoked a lot of grass and I've popped a lot of pills
But I've never done nothing that my spirit couldn't kill
And I walk around with these tombstones in my eyes
But I know the pusher don't care, if you live or if you die
And I said, God damn, God damn that Bible pushin' man
Godamn, God damn

... today, so many emotions thoughts and ideas stirred inside my heart and mind. The smell of frankincense transports me back through space and time to when I was a 10 year old catholic altar boy.
