Pietro Posted August 5, 2009 Words/Silence is a false and highly subjective duality... still fun though duality is a false duality ;-) And this list is a false octality :-P Still...

erdweir Posted August 10, 2009 R.A.W.'s eight modalities framework comes from Timothy Leary actually, he freely admitted this. Go to Infopsychology for the source, which is itself a rewrite of Exopsychology. I havent thought about RAW much, or Leary for that matter, in a long time. I first read them as a teenager, the first real esoteric/counterculture ideas I encountered. I'm pretty much over it now, but Enjoy! RAW's book the New Inquisition led me to discover Reich and Tesla, which then led me to other things, and so on. So it was a good stepping stone and introduction to escaping from consensus reality. Probably true for allot of people, definitely a good guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted August 10, 2009 "I will live forever or die trying." Well, yes, that is good. I also like "I plan to live forever. So far I'm doing pretty good." Be well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zhuo Ming-Dao Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) By the way: Love and do what you will is from Augustine. I think that they were more thinking of the way in which Rabelais used the quote in Gargantua and Pentagruel for the plaque above Thelma Abby. It is the monastery that Pentagruel builds at the end where the monks and nuns are charged only to "Do what thou wilt," and they do not wear much clothes and indulge in a sexuality and freedom that comes purely from knowing oneself rather than repressing all of that in yourself which is not understood or feared. This is quite a different sentiment than what Augustine was getting at It is also possible that he was pulling from Alistair Crowley's Thelma Religion, which was taken from a bastardization of Robelais' medieval period ideas. I guess it could be argued that Crowley understood Robelais better than anyone else and just put his theories into action, but I prefer to think that Robelais was just exaggerating to shake things up and make people think.

RAW and Leary were well aquainted with Crowley and knew about his Rabelais inspiration also, they are explicitly using crowley there.
