Hi tim, this is first time i write on your blog. I enjoy it a lot!

I’ve a similar blog to yours in spanish (but the thing is that i’ve much less readers than yours, because the “pop occulture” is something much more marginal in spain. To make you an idea, we’ve just got published RAW Cosmic Trigger this year!)

But i’m not complaining. There’s something i was thinking lately and then i felt happy to hear in an Erik Davis’podcast. He was talking about the feeling of atraction toward being in a screen, on TV, and then the emptiness you feel once you’re there. Think about all that Hollywood stars, driven by the only desire of being in the movies. But once there, they all brek off.

When i was lost in my life, i wanted a lot of things. Beeing in TV, beeing in a book, beeing in a band . I felt that i was stupid for that (and a lot of times now understand how artists and tv stars feel about themselves). But one day i said: look, the media acts as a big huge RNA trasducer. We’re “programmed” to do it, and it’s natural. I’m not stupid for having felt like that. Then, god bless the intenet, it did come Mckenna, psychedelics, and all this occulture scene and, well, the intuition of an spiritual life.

So then something exploded in my head and i started blogging obsessively. That state of obsession (that has attached chemical reactions in mind) culminated in some bizarre experiences that lead me to conclude that, on visiting these strange roads of reality, some spiritual discipline is needed. So i went kungfu and chikung and then i had some balance. That disciplines helped me to balance the emptiness caused by my obsessive search, and helped me of having some distance to it.

Hope my experience helps in some way

Tx Alistair and Gnomley …

I think things make no sense because we deal with so many ermm inDUHviduals in our daily life. The insane ones make the sane question their own sanity … I’m ready to get on a tangeant with respect to the ‘Strength’ card in Tarot but will forbear …

Since most people do not make much sense - just talk sense - it’ll seem like nonsense to them. Honestly, try it!

Making no sense used to happen to me before I carved out my brain, sold it to a gigantic mysterious contraption/corporation, and replaced the brain with an abandoned amusement park. just kidding

gniddik My non-personal advice---- go buy some modeling clay and scuplt some Halloween decorations. It is near time for all to get in the spirit of Halloween. Pumpkins are easy, scarecrows are difficult Vampires are in between

It does not need repeating but nonsense is grand, I recommend using nonsense in a subtle way, so people will be silently perplexed. Although personally, I can only use nonsense in sophmoric ways. Nonsense is grand.

I have medical problems too, a TIA due to having a hole in my heart (a PFO) so I can relate to Darok and others.

medical advice? good luck. the modern medical industry is for the benifit of doctors, nurses and medical administrators. you fall somewhere short of that list. get information as best you can and then exert flexibility over the situation…….otherwise, continue to recieve shite service.
as an athlete i have suffered several (yes, self-inficted.) injuries as a result of my chosen behaviours. the medical care i have recieved as a result has been hit-and-miss. thankfully i`ve never been critically ill and i`ve managed to heal myself from failed knee surgeries, bicep surgery and other less serious knocks, including a recent broken ankle.
if i had followed the advice to cast the ankle when it first happened i would still be in it now and would be on the road to rehab in about three more weeks. as it is i`m looking to play soccer again next friday and have regained full mobility in the joint. i have never stopped riding my bike and doing minor workouts, even though the joint has been quite sore.
there are those who gasp in horror when i describe my recovery……..but what the hell do animals do when they get a break, wear a sign that says “please don`t eat”? and if you think we are something other than animals physically, where is the distinction?

anyway, that`s my approach to recovery from injury. i find it effective for me. please don`t try this yourself, i don`t need you suing me. go see a doctor………but do the research first.

My life and the peeepul in it frequently make no sense. I just got hit with some inanity re: medical tests. I shouldn’t let the herd get to me, but they do.

I got told 4 months after the fact, that I need a new follow-up test on something because I can’t do an MRI. I told them I couldn’t do an MRI back in July and was told - la de da - do you usual 6 month follow-up with an ultra sound.

NOW they want to do another biopsy. I was told “It’s your choice,” uh … is it really ‘my choice’ - why didnt’ this shite-wipes tell me this back in July? I flared up and let them know THEY dropped the ball when they started to go into health responsiblity and so forth - if it’s my choice - then why didn’t they give me the choice in a timely manner?

OK OK I’m venting, not that anyone cares, but it feels good to get it out.

O the inanity of it all …grr

Sometimes it’s not YOU, it really is THEM!

Choices my arse! Total personal responsibility my arse - we all depend upon each other and the other side has responsibilities as well.

ergh

Have a nice day?
