“Why do we send flowers when people die? It’s a reminder of beauty, fleeting beauty. This is death. I will appreciate the joy of their life when I am not awash in the horrible darkness. When I am not awash in the moments of leaking, of sobbing, of numbness. When I am not awash in practical issues like ashes, caskets, and bills.”

“I thank Alan Watts for my awakening which occurred on 29 October 2024 at around 8 pm. But I had to no-fap, no booze, no drugs for 114 days to understand his crucial lecture. One of his remarkable recordings of the 1970s reached me in 2024. I had heard that lecture many times before but had dismissed it, or never got it. But I think I should continue his discussion by pointing out that this knowledge can be used for good, and bad. Daoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, the hermetic teachings, the kabbalah are all explained in one moment when you awaken totally, but that knowledge will naturally also be used by darkness. Without the darkness there is no light. And without the light there is no darkness. But the darkness is way ahead of the light. And the lightness needs to wake up, and soon. Because the darkness wants to change everything by changing the rules, of the game we all play and are a part of.”
