I Consistently Find Myself Feeling As If I'm On A Planet Where I Don't Belong, Trying To Operate Within A Society & Culture That Does Not Make Any Sense. That Demand So Much Of The General Membership Solely For Survival. While These Authorities & Elitists Are Free From Consequences Of Their Behaviors. The Pretend Scarcity For The Pretense Of Privilege. The More I Understand, The More Evident It Is To Me That We Have Been Doing Things Wrong. Humans Are So Strange. We Can Climb Mountains. Explore The Deepest Oceans. Travel To Space. But For Some Reason We Can't Move Past This Idea We Need Political, Financial, Cultural, Religious Overlords Who Can Tell Us What We Can & Cannot Do With Our Own Lives
It was in the winter of my 15th year. When it hit me, I was really alone. And there wasn't a hell a lot of time left. Every Laugh & Touch that I could get. Became more important. Strangely, I became more bookish. And my home & study meant more to me. As I considered the circumstances of my death. I wanted to find a balance between joy & dignity. On my way out. Above all, I didn't want to take any more shit! Not from anybody - Iggy Pop

The Essential Thing In Life Is Not In The Conquering, But In The Fight-Bob Richards
Most of us are afraid to find out for ourselves what is true & what is false, & that is why we merely accept what somebody else says. The important thing is to question, to observe, never to accept. Unfortunately, most of us only listen to those whom we regard as great people, to an established authority, to the Upanishads, the Gita, the Bible, the Quran or whatever it is. We never listen to the birds, to the sound of the sea, or to the beggar. So we miss what the beggar is saying -- & there may be truth in what the beggar is saying, & none at all in what is said by the rich man or the man in authority-Jiddu Krishnamurti
Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing-Leo F. Buscaglia
A mind that has come to the stillness of wisdom shall know being, shall know what it is to love. Love is neither personal nor impersonal. Love is love, not to be defined or described by the mind as exclusive or inclusive. Love is its own eternity; it is the real, the supreme, the immeasurable-Aldous Huxley
There Is This Overwhelming Sensation That's Occurring Deep Inside Of You. You Question Everything. You Trust Only A Few People. You No Longer Believe In Everything That Was Sold To You As A Kid.

There is no one way to salvation, whatever the manner in which a man may proceed. All forms & variations are governed by the eternal intelligence of the Universe that enables a man to approach perfection. It may be in the arts of music & painting or it may be in commerce, law or medicine. It may be in the study of war or the study of peace. Each is as important as any other. Spiritual enlightenment through religious meditation such as Zen or in any other way is as viable & functional as any "Way." A person should study as they see fit-Miyamoto Musashi
