"he who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." - h. s. thompson "in these early elementary cultures, as you call them, who would have been the equivalent of the poets?" - Bill Moyers "the shamans. the shaman is the person, male or female, who in his late childhood or early youth has an overwhelming psychological experience that turns him (or her) totally inward. It's a kind of schitzophrenic crack-up. the whole unconscious opens up & the shaman falls into it." - Joseph Campbell "the millions are awake enough for physical labor, but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred millions to a poetic or divine life." - h. d. thoreau "it is a well-known fact, however, that shamans are generally regarded as eccentric, or even insane. Perhaps that is what makes you think that they are spiritual. They seem insane because they are always trying to explain things that cannot be explained. In the course of such futile attempts to give complete explanations that cannot be completed under any circumstances, they lose all coherence & say inanities." - don juan (according to c. castaneda) "those who are awake all live in the same world. Those who are asleep live in their own worlds." - Heraclitus "to be awake is to be alive." - h. d. thoreau .:.-editor@large
