Life's a Trip

"With the increasing number of sessions I observed, I became more and more aware that many of the LSD phenomena seemed to have an interesting psychodynamic meaning and could be understood in psychological terms.

Analysis indicated clearly that the LSD reaction is highly specific for the personality of the subject. Rather than causing an unspecific 'toxic psychosis', LSD appeared to be a powerful catalyst of the mental processes activating unconscious material from various deep levels of the personality. Many of the phenomena in these sessions could be understood in psychological and psychodynamic terms; they had a structure not dissimilar to that of dreams."

(Stanislav Grof from the book BEYOND EGO, Transpersonal Dimensions in Psychology, edited by Roger N. Walsh, M.D., Ph. D., and Frances Vaughan, Ph.D.)

ΥΠΕΡΡΕΑΛΙΣΤΚΗ ΕΠΑΝΕΞΕΤΑΣΤΕΑ

  Στο χωλάκι

     της

   δικής μου

 θρησκείας

    κάθομαι

κι αναμένω

κι  είμαι πεισμένος

ότι τα βίτσια μου

  είναι αγάπη.

Κάνε Θεέ μου

να μη χάσω

το ζώο μέσα μου.

VOICES ...

"... it doesn't  matter if they are incarnate or discarnate, what difference does it make?"

Michael H. Hughes on claireaudience

REGARDING ALEISTER CROWLEY

Dimitri: "What is your opinion of Aleister Crowley's famous phrase 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' ?

Hughes: I believe that 'Thy Will be Done' takes precedence. On one hand the powerful will, on the other there isn't a good damn thing that isn't thought through you, intended through you, lived through you."

'Ολα Πέντε;

Αυτό δεν πια λαική εντολή, είναι λαική υποβολή!

MONEY

"Money is legitimate: you have to pay the rent, anyhow. But a friend of mine was complaining that she can't live on a hundred thousand dollars a month and yet another who can't buy a very expensive car. 

Where does this stop?"

Michael Hughes on greed

Missouri, a day ago: 57 in 1995

Which cut up technique, did William Lee imply? St. Louis, Kansas City, or both?

ZEN ON THE SELF

" 'The  Self', as Jung calls it, is how ' an image is made out of no image', yet, Zen  would not encourage a book on dream interpretation."

Does Muhammad have a head?

Mu

Το δίδαγμα είναι δόγμα;

Νιώσε

γίνε

νερό και λιγότερος από νερό

αέρας κι αραιότερος από αέρα

λιώσε 

και

κατάκλυσε

κάθε γωνιά

που δεν χωράς

λιγότερος από νερό

αραιότερος από αέρα

και

διαπέρασε

τη φωτιά

της στιγμής

που

σε τυλίγει.

NEIGHBORHOOD'S SON

Hate-nirvana-hate-nirvana

singles bar route

for returning a hero

to my neighborhood's party.

Letting go

Why should Ego be that important?

In the reach for love

In the reach for love,

I got thirsty for hate

and took hold of

the sword and the blood,

cut myself in the shadows

and drank

the slices of red,

the dark blade of distance

too near for despair

too far for love.

Consciousness

Just tell your mind to go in a corner and lie down.

THE SCHEME

A thin line separates

a scheme from a scene

a scene of forgery, a scheme of false creation.

Am I a genius, or am I an abortion,

am I sinner or a redeemer?

The snow falls softly

The snow falls softly on our bones

the sleepless night itches

the coin stops falling

and it's time to pay.

PSYCHOLOGY HAS TAKEN THE PLACE OF RELIGION!

Science says: 'Out of the Void, a particle appears.' What else has Religion been talking about for centuries? Is there a middle point between them? That is Psychology for you. God knows I'd pick that anytime!

ΣΥΜΒΟΛΑ ΣΕ ΜΙΑ ΑΤΟΜΙΚΗ ΑΝΑΛΥΣΗ

"Henry was introverted, shy, finely drawn, and very tall, with light hair, a high pale forehead and blue eyes with dark shadows. He did not think that a neurosis (the most unusual reason) had brought him to me, but rather an inner urge to work on his psyche."

Jolande Jacobi from "Man and his Symbols", Carl G. Jung's popular book.

The Center is everywhere and the Periphery is nowhere

" I don't remember and I don't care."
