Kerouac's Rules for Writing (Learning, Teaching, Living....)

* Be in love with yr life
* Remove literary, grammatical and syntactical inhibition
* Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for yr own joy
* Believe in the holy contour of life
* Accept loss forever
* Write in recollection and amazement for yourself
* No fear or shame in the dignity of yr experience, language & knowledge
* Write for the world to read and see yr exact pictures of it
* Crazier the better
* You're a Genius all the time

If one listens to the faintest but constant suggestions of his genius, which are certainly true, he sees not to what extremes, or even insanity, it may lead him; and yet that way, as he grows more resolute and faithful, his road lies. –Henry David Thoreau, Walden

The Tong can be defined as a long-lasting group, theoretically "permanent", devoted not to one project but to an on-going "cause". --Hakim Bey

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. --Alan Watts

Act as if you were already free... take the risk, dance before you calcify.-- Hakim Bey

And what is the nature of a wasteland? It is a land where everybody is living an inauthentic life, doing as other people do-- doing as you're told, with no courage for your own life. To live an authentic life, Take your wisdom from your own experience. Because in thinking, the majority is always wrong. --Joseph Campbell

Idle youth
Enslaved by everything,
By being too sensitive
I have wasted my life.
Ah ! Let the time come
When hearts are enamoured !
--Arthur Rimbaud

Safe is Risky! --Seth Godin

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. —John Quincy Adams

The deepest human need is the need to be appreciated. — William James.

Does “it” Pop?
Does “it” Sparkle?
Does “it” make you Grin?
Is “it” ... WOW?
If “it” (grand or mundane) isnt WOW ... re-do it! Or dont do it!
This is ... Your Day.
Not “their” day.
This Day belongs ... ULTIMATELY ... to You.
Not “them.”
Throw off the shackles of Conformity!
--Tom Peters

Suppose I point a shamanic death-bone at you and recite a curse?
Or utter a Magick Word that alarms and threatens you as much as a simple "fuck" threatens simple Methodists?
The role of magick in all language transactions has very concrete and exhilarating/terrifying implications.
There is a well-documented case of a man, a cancer patient, "miraculously" blessed by remission and recovery due to a placebo [with tumors shrunk to half their previous size], then cursed back into critical condition when learning of deaths of others receiving the same placebo.
Whoever speaks a sentence to another human may pronounce a blessing or a curse without even intending this.
--Robert Anton Wilson

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
--George Bernard Shaw

Question authority, and just say "Know"
--Dr. Timothy Leary
