Reprise
Omniformis Omnis Intellectus Est
It is right, it is fitting, it is lawful...as much as in me lies.
Know thyself, and dance.
We are only geometricians of matter;
the Greeks were, first of all,
geometricians in the apprenticeship to virtue.
~Simone Weil
Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud,
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Alchemy and the Secret Doctrine
Akasha is one of the cosmic principles and is a plastic matter,
creative in its physical nature, immutable in its higher principles. It is the
quintessence of all possible forms of energy, material, psychic, or
spiritual; and contains within itself the germs of universal creation,
which sprout forth under the impulse of the Divine Spirit.He thought the world's heart beat at some terrible cost and that the
world's pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of diverging equity
and that in this headlong deficit the blood of multitudes might
ultimately be exacted for the vision of a single flower.
And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound and
solemn: It was the spirit of gravity. Through him all things fall.
Thus Spake Zarathustra ~Nietzsche
Mind at Large
(Some people) seem born with a kind of bypass that circumvents the
reducing valve. In others, temporary bypasses may be acquired...through
there flows, not indeed the perception of "everything that is happening
everywhere in the universe",...but something more than, and above all
something different from, the carefully selected, utilitarian material
which our narrow minds regard as a complete, or at least sufficient,
picture of reality.
-Aldous Huxley
Alice tried another question. "What sort of people live about here?"
"In THAT direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a
Hatter: And in THAT direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March
Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad.
You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Story of the fly agaric and its psychedelic green caterpillar. (I hate my fly agaric with maggots.) Does everyone know about Lewis Caroll? Knew the old truth about Helman Province, before the propaganda machine took over. Yes! Western states are large scale funders of the produce that helps to settle the young folk who fail to smell the coffee because (thankfully)they will always be, comfortably numb. Drugs are such a waste of fucking energy. Mine's a zillion - shot espresso and easily two bottles of vin rouge a night (occasionaly). As for fly agaric - leave it to the maggots, sufficiently shot away, am I.
