Gods and Assholes
Which are You?
I spent the first half of my life learning to be clever,
the remainder unlearning it.

I've always preferred myth to history.
History is truth that becomes lies
while myth is lies that become truth.
~Jean Cocteau
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone.
"It means just what I choose it to mean - neither more or less."
"The question is," said Alice,
"whether you can make words mean
so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty,
"which is to be master - that's all."
~Lewis Carroll
A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men.
~Anonymous
The advanced societies of the future
will not be governed by reason.
They will be driven by irrationality,
by competing systems of psychopathology.
~JG Ballard
To write the truth as I see it;
to defend the weak against the strong;
to fight for justice; and to seek,
as best I can,
to bring healing perspectives to bear
on the terrible hates and fears of mankind,
in the hope of someday
bringing about one world,
in which men will enjoy
the differences of the human garden
instead of killing each other over them.
~I. F. Stone
Every jumbled pile of person
has a thinking part that wonders
What the part that isn't thinking
isn't thinking of...
~They Might Be Giants
Proverbs for Paranoids #3:
If they can get you asking
the wrong questions,
they don't have to worry
about the answers.
~Thomas Pynchon
... the wisest and best men
are those who are ashamed.
~Edward Dahlberg
Between the idea and the reality,
Between the motion and the act,
Falls the shadow.
~T.S Eliot
Where is the Life
we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom
we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge
we have lost in information?
~T. S. Eliot
Sometimes, money trumps...uh...peace.
~GW Bush
And there will be signs in the sun,
in the moon and in the stars;
and on the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity,
the sea and the waves roaring;
men's hearts failing them from fear
and the expectation of those things
which are coming on the earth,
for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
~Luke 21:25-26

I am the SourceShock waves of emotions
sensations rippling up my spinal column
flood my brain with information
I am only encountering my own nervous system.
This reality outside of me
is experienced within me.
Nothing is without
but only perceived to be
So it is the same with meaning
But who am the "I" that gives it meaning
Me is just one more meaning
I take granted
"I" take for granted
There is no "I"
There is no "I"
There is no
There is
There
And the rest is silence.
