How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.

Evan Voytas – ASTRO

It’s a fucking blizzard out here in NY and I just want to abuse the right to blog and say what’s up to the big guy Evan Voytas, we all miss you…but me in particular. Come back to NY man! Also huuuge whups to Pizza!, Dnon Kong, Big Whup, and the rest of the LA Krewzaderz. Alright, snowball fight!

“We could say that meditation doesn’t have a reason or doesn’t have a purpose. In this respect it’s unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don’t do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.”
-Alan Watts

Thanks to IMPOSE for the heads up on this one, double PhD Andy Letcher has composed a cultural history of shrooms that is far too extensive and focused for me to clearly explain here. If you’re interested there is lots more info right here and if you dig I’d like to recommend Alan Watts’ The Book.
