no book changed your life

i don't trust anyone who says a book changed their life.

it's so confusing: the red kool-aid in Malick's The Tree of life.

if someone says they get a good meditation in in the morning before they start their day, they're not meditating. they're masturbating.

when you're hating or liking a book know that it wasn't written by anyone.

the most difficult thing to do is stop. the most difficult thing to understand without having stopped is that stopping is something which cannot be done.

first i wanted to be writer, drinking whisky, talking loudly. then i wanted to be a monk, living in the rainforests, going on rounds for alms. then i wanted to not want. now there's nothing to do.

if you think someone is beautiful, thinking of their poop will end that illusion for you pretty quick.

the present is a darkness which goes further into darkness. by which i mean, take some time to die.

bliss is a lot like coke: there's nothing to like. surrendering is a lot like withdrawal: there's nothing to not like.

reality was no longer boring when i realized i had never been in it.

spirituality: there is no higher spirituality to channel.

the activity of the mind is unceasing and stupid, a lot like a fat man eating whoppers. stopping is a thing to consider. how to: just watch some.

i don't know, gratefully.

nothing to improve. my farting cat is proof.
