“Fuck the flesh you inhabit, show me the spirit that inhabits you.”
Kenneth Strickland (via beyondloveandhate)
“The path of enlightenment is quite simple, really. It is to see yourself as something that this universe has a lot of. It is to see yourself as whatever you need. It is therefore, to see yourself as everything. This quality in a person, this vision, can be very attractive to a person of the opposite sex.”

Thoughts on another year around the sun: I am happy. And, this-

“If you awaken from this illusion, and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death — or shall I say, death implies life — you can conceive yourself. Not conceive, but feel yourself, not as a stranger in the world, not as someone here on sufferance, on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke, but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.” Alan Watts

“The only people for me are the mad ones. The ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time. The ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road. (via showslow)

Such artistry and order in freedom and chaos.
