Welcome to my mind. It's not a safe place. Follow me or be lost. ...What the fuck was I thinking?
Bill Hicks
the sign of intelligence is that you are constantly wondering. idiots are always dead sure about every damn thing.

fuck ... obsessed with these lyrics.
Truth. Truth is I never shook my shadow it’s trying to trick me into doing battle Calling out “faker” only get me rattled Want to pull me back behind the fence with the cattle Building your lenses Digging your trenches Put me on the front line Leave me with a dumb mind With no defenses But your defenses If you can’t stand to feel the pain then you are senseless
Since this I’ve grown up some Different kind of fighter And when the darkness come let it inside you Your darkness is shining My darkness is shining Have faith in myself Truth
I’ve seen a million numbered doors on the horizon Now which is the future you choosen before you gone dying. I’ll tell you ‘bout a secret I’ve been underminding Every little lie in this world come from dividing Say you’re my lover, say you’re my homie, Tilt my chin back slit my throat take a bath in my blood get to know me All out of my secrets All my enemies are turning into my teachers. Because, lights blinding, no way dividing what’s yours or mine when everything’s shining Your darkness is shining my darkness is shining Have faith in ourselves Truth Yes I’m only loving, only trying to only love That’s what I’m trying to do is only loving Yes I’m only lonely loving feeling only loving Till I’m feeling only loving Ya say it ain’t loving ain’t loving my loving But I’m only loving only loving only loving.

You cannot really be too concerned with what people think of you. You’re on your own adventure of growth and discovery. So it’s not always good to be who people think you are, especially if you subscribe to it as well … which is easily done, because then you don’t have to figure out who you are, you just ask somebody else.

The Substance
By coincidence rather then by design the swiss chemist Albert Hofmann makes a sensational discovery in the spring of 1943. He realizes that he is dealing with a powerful molecule that will have an impact not only on the scientific world. THE SUBSTANCE – is an investigation into our troubled relation with LSD. Told from its beginnings until today.
In 1943, the year in which the first A-bomb was built, Albert Hofmann discovered LSD – a substance that was to become an A-bomb of the mind. Fractions of a milligram are enough to turn our framework of time and space upside down.
[...]
The psychedelic drug seemed to be tailor-made for dropouts of the affluent society: the hippies, the protest movement – the counterculture. LSD as the fuel of the rebellion? As a source of free thinking that lead even to the development of an independent, groundbreaking computer technology? The drug apostle Timothy Leary proclaimed his famous line of “Turn on, tune in, drop out!” and hundreds of thousands followed him into a true LSD euphoria.
[...]
Albert Hofmann’s legacy: looking back to the 20th Century and looking ahead to the new developments related to LSD… and perhaps also a look at ourselves.

So I’m sitting in Starbucks drinking my coffee and reading a book when all of a sudden it hits me…
You know how when you trip or get really deep into meditation time doesn’t exist? The same is with dreams and what not. That’s because it’s just an internal perception created to serve a purpose of survival. Outside the internal self, there is no time, there isn’t even a now! It’s all just a happening that has already passed but the internal self creates a perception of a now so conscious awareness can serve it’s evolutionary function and help the organism survive. A psychedelic distorts your senses in a way that it changes that function and meditation does the same thing in its magical way except it is just the awareness contracting in a way where your concentration gets focused on different arisings. The latter is difficult to illustrate, especially via iPhone. This is exactly what Buddhism is talking about when it says “that which is arising has already passed.” Insight into impermanence.

"The more fluid you are the less dense the human form. The form is there because you can’t let go of the last moment. You carry the last moment into this moment. So you carry tension forward from what is gone. When that happens, you end up with more and more density in the body, which causes more and more pain. Just shake it off. Shake off the moment that has past so that you don’t carry it into the present moment."
- Almine
"The price of admission to this vision of the soul is the loss of the materialist viewpoint. Only then can the soul show itself as both Hades and Pluto, the dark underworld with its fruitful and shining possibilities. From one perspective the blackness of night is ‘the source of all evil,’ but that from the viewpoint of the Orphics, ‘Night was a depth of love (Eros) and light (Phanes).’"

I want to pack my bags and leave
I might have to break a few hearts in the process but what about mine? I might have to hurt some people but what about my pain? I might disappoint some people but what if I have a different idea of success?
You can’t find me, until I find myself. You don’t know me, when I don’t even know who I am. You can’t tie me down with wings like these.
I’m here to manifest the impossible, because nothing really is. I’m here to feel every ounce of joy and pain my being can possibly handle even if I die in the process.

Die Grausamkeit aus Intelligenz
by S :)
Intelligenz kann sich auch durch Grausamkeit manifestieren. Umso intelligenter der Mensch, desto gezielter und präziser ist seine Rache; vor allem wird er in seiner Rache klügerer.
Wie weit er in seiner Rache gehen wird, hängt allein vom Grad der Irritation ab, in der dieser gebracht worden ist. Daher der Spruch „Don't fuck a lion !"

I can’t tell the difference between 5 minutes ago, 5 hours ago, 5 days ago, 5 weeks ago, or 5 years ago anymore. It all feels the same. The distance between A and B is infinite. When you get to infinity, all possibilities are real simultaneously or at any given moment in time.
Every moment is starting to feel like a lifetime lately, and yet it’s going by so fast.

The Emerald Tablet:
True, without falsehood and most real
That which is above is like that which is below
To perpetrate the miracles of the One thing
And as all things have be derived from One by the thought of One
So as all things are born from this One thing by adaptation
The sun its father, the moon its mother
The wind has carried it in its belly
The earth is its nurse
Here is the father of every wonder in the world
Strength and power are absolute
when changed into earth
Separate the earth from fire, the subtle from the gross
gently, and with care
It ascends from earth to heaven and descends again back to Earth
to receive the power of the superior and inferior things.
By these means you will have the glory of the world
And because of this all obscurity will flee from you.
This power, most powerful of all powers will overcome all subtle things
and penetrate every solid thing
Thus the world was created
From this pattern will emerge many wondrous applications
And for this reason I am called Hermes Thrice Great
Having the three parts of the philosophy of the world
What I have said of the sun’s operations is accomplished.

I know what you’re thinking.
“Did he reach the sixth chakra or only five?”
Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is kundalini, the most powerful energy in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel worthy? Well, do ya, punk?

A Taxonomy of Tattoos Inspired by Science
(The Golden Ratio)
As a proud owner of a science tattoo, these articles always make me cheese.
A few years ago Carl Zimmer became the de facto curator of science-based body art. The author of The Loom blog over at DISCOVER as well as numerous books, Zimmer asked his readers about their tattoos, and whether any of them had inked themselves up in science-inspired motifs. The response was greater than he imagined.
Those responses, which often arrived in Zimmer’s inbox in the form of images, have now been compiled into a book published earlier last year , . In it, the science obsessed—or at least those enthusiastic enough to etch their favorite equations, diagrams, schematics, and formulas directly onto their dermises—show off their needlework in a coffee table-worthy collection of pics, arranged by Zimmer into categories centered on major scientific disciplines: math, chemistry, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, astronomy, and a dedicated chapter on DNA.
Science ink: A Taxonomy of Tattoos Inspired by Science
From those pages we’ve pulled a few of my favorite works—from Darwin’s finches to a Dali-like double helix to a front-to-back neural net—and collected them here. Click through the link above to see some of our favorite science-derived ink from the collection.

The Widow
He’s got fasting black lungs Made of clove splintered shardes They’re the kind that will talk Through a weezing of coughsAnd I hear him every night In every pore And every time he just makes me warm
Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Must I hide? Cause I’ll never Never sleep alone
Look at how they flock to him From an isle of open sores He knows that the taste is such Such to die for
And I hear him every night On every street The scales that do slither Deliver me from…
Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Then I’ll hide Cause I’ll never Never sleep alone
Oh lord Said I’m bloodshot for sure Pale runs the ghost Swollen on the shore
Everynight in every pore The scales that do slither Deliver me from…
Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Then I’ll hide Cause I’ll never Never sleep alone
Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Let me die Cause I’ll never Never sleep alone

Thom Yorke - Analyse
A self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibility
You roll in reams across the street
In algebra, in algebra
The fences that you cannot climb
The sentences that do not rhyme
In all that you can ever change
The one you’re looking for
It gets you down
There’s no spark
No light in the dark
It gets you down
You traveled far
What have you found
That there’s no time
There’s no time
To analyse
To think things through
To make sense
Like cows in the city, they never looked so pretty
By power carts and blackouts
Sleeping like babies
It gets you down
You’re just playing a part
You’re playing a part
Playing a part
And there’s no time
There’s no time
To analyse
