Thanks a ton, I love Watts, the Book on the Taboo is one of my favorites, and of course the way of zen. After reading all the stuff i could get my hands on of his, i discovered mp3's of his talks and videos of them as well, which are just as engrossing. He also has some really great writing in regards to psychedelics. Definitely one of the strong influences in my life. Everything I post is made up fiction. SWIM represents a character who is not based in or on reality.

I definitely like this guy. Sir Terrence McKenna: "and what is real: is you, and your friends, and your associations, your highs, your orgasms your hopes your plans your fears... and were told. no. we're unimportant, we're peripherial. get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that. and then your a player, (but) you dont even want to play that game? (well) you want to re-claim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers: who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash thats being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world. ¿where is that at?"
"But now technology throws a curve. and the curve is that we live so long, that we figure out what a scam this is. we figure out that what your supposed to work for isn't worth having, we figure out that our politicians are buffoons, we figure out that professional scientists are reputation building gravitating weasels. we discover that all organizations are corrupted by ambition. we figure. it. out... and as you come to see that you are alienated you realise that culture is not your friend."
