thanks for pointing me

He wrote quite a bit more about it, too. In particular, there's an article in Rolling Stone (Nov. 9, 1972) that Burroughs wrote ostensibly about the book "Inside Scientology" by Robert Kaufman, but he spends most of the article talking about his own experience with scientology. There's some pretty frightening stuff in there.

But seriously, JZ Knight bothers me. Watch her talk, you'll know why.

And Hubbard is just weird.
I read a bunch of articles that William S Burroughs wrote about Scientology. They do not paint a pretty picture.

What I found fascinating about Burrough's critique on Scientology was that their methods do work, but the organisation is insiduous and rabidly evil.

Interesting that noone has replied to this since February, when The Secret was released. Anyone bought the film? Watched it? Created there experience?

Anyone want to fileshare with me so I don't have to pay for it?

I checked out the site again tonight. Didn't much like the write ups about the makers of the film. In fact, the whole thing smells too much like a viagra pitch. But I intend to get it, even if it does prove disappointing.

Explored the site some. The quotes from the movie are good. Real good.

Something I would recommend: the books "A Wrinkle in Time" and "A Wind in the Door" by Madeleine L'Engle. Children's stories. L'Engle has often said that when she wants to write something that is too difficult for adults, she writes it for children.

Exactly so mars,
where the heck are you

I read Wrinkle In Time when I was an adult, about forty years old I guess. I loved that book.

Where did you go ratbag
Good to see you back
Very interesting stuff I bet
But I do so much magical thinking
I did not look at any of them
A kind of geezer boredom I suppose

When I get into an end times state of mind
I just listen to some music
Old hill billy gospel songs
Like
Dust On The Bible
And let my monkey brain entertain itself
connecting prophetic dots.

I wake up early these days
Daybreak is the best part of my day
One morning I may wake up in a pile of smoke and ash
But the day after that I will wake up ready to move on

"They say I was a rebel till I reached the age of five
It was then that I got caught up in the struggle to survive"

Generation X, Y, Z, ? I lose track were we are at.
WHat happens after W?
Alpha Plus I hope.
You are both so far from me in time
I wonder how my words could ever cross that gap.
I suffer from an "insufficiency of reality"

What is the secrete?
I don't think it is to be found in any book
But the shadow knows.
