The brothers of Santa Claus

We are the brothers of Santa Claus
The brothers of Santa Claus
We are the brothers of Santa Claus

why aren’t all bikes like this ?

from http://welcometovoluntarysimplicity.wordpress.com/2008/04/22/why-arnt-all-bikes-like-this/

On the streets of India and China these types of bike are common place. Cheap utility vehicle options are born more out of economic reason rather than an ethical or environmental one, thats understandable but why have we not adopted the same route?
I must admit I’m a bit bias because I love these things, [...]

Visualize the Zodiac

I have been wanting to learn more about the Zodiac for a long time. Fortunately I have met Michael Ax, the creator of http://zodiacdegrees.com/, late this Spring.

Peace Between Our Sheets

from interview with Marnia Robinson
Dutch scientist Gert Holstege, who said that his brain scans of men ejaculating look like brain scans of people shooting heroin, once remarked that we are all addicted to sex. Orgasm is the most powerful (legal) buzz available to us. I believe that when we consciously move from compulsion to equilibrium [...]

Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie

When yer head gets twisted and yer mind grows numb
When you think you’re too old, too young, too smart or too dumb
When yer laggin’ behind an’ losin’ yer pace

Surely you’re not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I’m lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds [...]

Magick and Psychotherapy

Modern magick and psychotherapy share a number of commonalties. Both attempt to empower the individual, both attempt to discern the relationship of the individual to the universe, both attempt to make that relationship as functional, in terms of the individual’s goals, as possible. Although many magicians might disagree, [...]
