But I know what you mean.<br /><br />chris' interactions were no doubt with a kind of human being largely unencountered by many of us. Be interesting to know if they considered having their digits snipped to have been "personal," and if they bear any grudge about it now (assuming they are alive). After all, if not Chris, someone would have done the job.<br /><br />"For it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!"

Can you imagine the raw experience, the insanely wild reality tunnel, he has 'crafted'?<br /><br /><br />"The border between the Real and the Unreal is not fixed,<br />but just marks the last place where rival gangs of shamans<br />fought each other to a standstill."<br />(Robert Anton-Wilson)<br /><br /><br />Chris seems to, indeed, embody a form of ancient sorcerer.<br />And, from what I've read and heard, you embody a form of intellectual neo-sorcerer.<br /><br /><br />The arc of past and future meet in the present...<br /><br /><br />Zara.<br /><br />P.S. Natural Born Killers is a good movie to study, if you haven't seen it for a while, in relation to this.<br /><br />(Mickey): "Everybody thought I'd gone crazy. The cops, my mom, everybody. But you see, they all missed the point of the story. I wasn't crazy. When I was holding the shotgun, it all became clear. I realized for the first time my one true calling in life. I'm a natural born killer."<br /><br />(Mickey being interviewed by the media personality Wayne): "You'll never understand, Wayne. You and me, we're not even the same species. I used to be you, then I evolved. From where you're standing, you're a man. From where I'm standing, you're an ape. You're not even an ape. You're a media person. Media's like the weather, only it's man-made weather. Murder? It's pure. You're the one made it impure. You're buying and selling fear. You say "why?" I say "why bother?"zara nyxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503657.post-33729519117757688922009-07-15T20:28:21.321-07:002009-07-15T20:28:21.321-07:00should be able to. yeah that's an interesting ...should be able to. yeah that's an interesting observation too, but funny how it led to another one through misunderstanding... ie, that the lone anti-hero (rebel) is the shadow of the integrated group/force.Jason Kephashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04172948701983695885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503657.post-23187772819486061412009-07-15T18:48:25.703-07:002009-07-15T18:48:25.703-07:00I wasn't being very clear.

This fixation on the criminal mind ...Great podcast. This fixation on the criminal mind I think is quite natural coming from a generation of typically emasculated men. Often raised by mothers and without male role models. The ganster is the "hero" who takes what he wants when he wants it. These men become the role models to many young boys, who soon realize this role model is unaccpeted by the society. This creates something of an inner storm that once started on its course is very difficult to stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
