"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather." Once again I look in the mirror, Hoping for a chance to reconsider. Every time it's just my reflection, this course is too rough. Again I apologise .. But a million apologies could never be enough. - Loving Hate  Today's woman puts on wigs, fake eyelashes, false fingernails, sixteen pounds of assorted make-up/shadows/blushes/creams, living bras, various pads that would make a linebacker envious, has implants and assorted other surgeries, then complains that she cannot find a "real" man. - Maynard James Keenan  "Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself. THINK FOR YOURSELF. QUESTION AUTHORITY." - Timothy Leary  Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top. -Timothy Leary  "The standard way to tame and domesticate the impossible complexity that surrounds us is to invent a few "tooth-fairy" gods, the more infantile the better, and to lay down a few childish rules: Honor your father and your mother, etc. The rules are simple and logical.

You believe." - Timothy Leary  "Apparently Jesus is coming - so it seems our only choice is whether to spit or swallow" - Maynard James Keenan "A Religion as a Function of Society In many cases, the things that people consider sacred are determined by the community to which they belong.
