My Journey

A middle aged guy trying to find his way and recover his meaning. I train hard in self defense and strength, and seek traditional ways and meaning.

“On Walpurgis, I soar the night. I hold my broomstick, And then take flight; Only return by dawn’s first light.”

“In a way, the shamans leapt over the material phase of imagination engineering and went to nanotechnology 30,000 years ago. By nanotechnology I mean reliance on machines to achieve your goal, machines that are under one nanometer in size, smaller than a billionth of an inch. We don’t think of drug molecules as machines, but in fact they are machines, they perform work in the synapses like machines. Shamanism didn’t use matter to build its realities; it was more sophisticated than that. It directly addressed the capacity of the human mind in the presence of unusual neurochemicals to produce unusual phenomena and sensoria of experience.”

— Terence McKenna, On Imagination
