Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
Edgar Allan Poe
your cast reminded me of an interview I read a while back....
"Though capable of feeding all creation, the spirit is not an omnipotent force, as Christianity would have us believe, but a natural force of great subtlety. When its subtlety is trespassed on by the clumsiness of human greed and conceit, then both human and divine nature are violated and made into hungry, devouring things. We become food for this monster our spiritual amnesia has created. The monster is fed by wars, psychological depression, self-hate, and bad world-trade practices that export misery to other places.
We inflict violence upon each other as a way to replace what we steal from nature because we’ve forgotten this old deal that our ancestors signed so long ago. Instead, we psychologize and objectify that relationship as a personal experience or pathology, rather than a spiritual obligation. At that point, our approach to spirituality becomes rationalist armoring, a psychology of protection for the part of us that creates the greed monster, which causes us to kill the world and each other. As individuals, we become depressed, because the beings of the other world take it out of our emotions."
SAVING THE INDIGENOUS SOUL: AN INTERVIEW WITH MARTIN PRECHTEL

I like the reminder of the subtlety of the spiritual realm. The crassness of our culture is one of the major blocks to our re-connection to spirit. The time and quietude needed for perception of the spiritual realm is very rare in this materialistic world we have created for ourselves.
Try this link for that interview with Martin Prechtel:

Thanks for posting it Anon, I enjoyed it very much.
martin pretchell - ironic his name would appear at this blog. Is that really you, Martin? I have visited with the Copra Dia (shaman brotherhood) in Santiago, Guatemala, where Martin used to be the resident shaman. People there seem rather ambivalent about Martn now however.
AK,
went for a walk.....was just awesome....one of those golden moments.....havent had one in a while...realized the difference in the narrative must come back to the intent of the narrator...the essense of the narrator's concious and unconcious valuing....the quality which one could call "soul"....the difference here in your podcasts is there is a beauty beneath the words and topics that transcend them...your valuing is life giving....which is the authentic mystery of a shaman...."Shamans are sometimes considered healers or doctors, but really they are people who deal with the tears and holes we create in the net of life, the damage that we all cause in our search for survival"
Many profit from the mundane and dead thirst for self preservation...new metaphors, new myths, new gods, devils, and creatures....the "Armageddon"...these are creating further holes in the fabric of humanity....they harvest the power of the unconcious mass...through solidifying "selves" into particluar opinions, stories or metaphors as "truth"....fear and projection and death...self interest...I have listened to all of these fellows myself out of hunger...there were sparks but they always had a seriousness I could not trust....an insistense on THE truth....they lead out into the darkness and create the illusion of an external threat.....yet plant nothing of eloquence or subtle living presense...they offer nothing of a solution in there manner or way....you on the other hand are like a gardener, tending the authentic mystery of an immense and global mystery of why we, as a species, would intend coarse death and drama to the majesty of existense...expansion through real birth....and you are a living proof that man may examine the spheres with a curiosity and love of creation, instead of with the coarse emotionalism or reason...
really, this is of most interest to me...real intelligence....the creative spark of deep imagination that creates life....
That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful.
Edgar Allan Poe
The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.
Edgar Allan Poe
There is an eloquence in true enthusiasm.
Edgar Allan Poe
It will be found, in fact, that the ingenious are always fanciful, and the truly imaginative never otherwise than analytic.
Edgar Allan Poe
this is something that has come to me from listening to you speak...
the analytic nature of true art...of true life....the love of that....that emotionalism, intellectualism, intuionalism, bodyilyism....all become a corpse without the subtle living enthusiasm that belongs soley to the intelligence that preceeds all bodies, all spheres, all personal lifeforms....
the true narrator is most evidently in love with creatures and spheres and life....these things are not made to be destroyed....the essense of the universe is awefilled creativity...

Matt,
that is bullshit...
it is the projection of your own disembodied wish in a death race senario...
good luck with your illusions
you wont be saying that when the reptilians come...
anyone noticing the word verifications...i have had some very interesting ones...
stsill st sill?
broeve bro eve?
oeings a new being?
quaill qua (In so far as; in the capacity or character of; as) ill
syncroanimism?
Has SW turned into an MPD playground?
Matt, appreciate your thoughts, and kindnesses, and all the EAP pearls. Stinky (if you exist), please keep the personal digs to your homelife or i will be tempted to delete your ass.
And icke? Integrate your reptilian self and get back to me
If the Id's away, the egos will play
a narrative has many identities and roles which may be picked up or discarded....its when people start taking their roles seriously that things lose their creative integrity...and become systems....
just because I dont obey what you consider a proper role in this environment, you would execute judgement? Apocolypse has arrived for this narrative and you must nessessarily play the role of Yahweh....enjoy it...its not evil or wrong if you realize you dont actually believe in it
each has there own way to enjoy the fact that things are not serious to the point of cruelty....where we have to treat each other without kindness or reverence, even if one is considered as less, disturbed or immoral...
I am not the only one here with a pseudonym...the narrator of this blog has choosen for himself a multiple identity...would you hold your own position as sacred to the point of eradication of "other"? You can remain anonymous because it serves integrity? My identities only threaten this shadow....of Furher
each has their breaking point....this is relevant and human...when we try to leave this behind, we become rigid in our structure....
when we would really love to let a bull into the chinashop of the ego
this is the bullshit that leads to real growth...human
benevolant sparing is a joy...and very relevant
put up your dukes!!!
Um, Aeolus,
Seems like you got some of this yourself:
"wish you a very happy visitation/haunting/abduction/communion - or whatever the cheeky, creepy id has in store for you this year"
Happy Halloween, I guess. :\
"matt"
def. improvement - sparring with an other pseud and not your own shadow!
friendship is opposition
