THE DANGERS OF GROUP THERAPY

  I was late for the weekly  7 p.m. group therapy I facilitated at the Moravian Buddhist Church because some joker blew up my new Lexus, and I had to stick around at the scene and answer a slew of tedious questions from the cops.  This was the third car I'd lost… Read full post »

Words of Wisdom

Life is a multimedia work of Art.

Art is all.

The point of the universe is Beauty.

Colonize!

Some of us-- the meek-- have a certain shame of expansion

We allow our self space to be brutally territorialized

Tis Time for the Second Coming, I Say.

This is my take on Christianity, which I kind of like, though it's scary.

In the First Coming---including the Cruci-fiction , the Resurrection, etc---- Christ generously conquered the Spiritual World for Us. Thank you, J.

  Recognize that you are now part of a Family.  Your previous family is still there, but: it is now probably estranged from you. Don't weep & moan about it. It is time to prove to them that you are a self-sufficient mother-fucker, so they don't wanna hear alot of anger… Read full post »
