Which makes me wonder what effect alcohol consumption or drugs has on the "clear glass filter". all I can say is that this is unlike anything I've ever experienced, It is a very natural high. Myth and the Quest for Meaning. Siddartha Gautama and Rene Descartes, It, itself, who'd a thunk it. I will tell you the rest of the story later on. As long as those flashing red and blue lights aren't on top of the car I'm ok. Thank you for identifying the conditions. Ticket to the ball did you say, sorry don't dance, but I'll take a drive anytime. no charge.

Winter 1977, I was seventeen, Parabola magazine, Myth and the Quest for Meaning. Volume Two Issue One and it cost $3.50., but I was still in SAfrica then. I bought it in the States, or conditions, one could say, but had to discover the process. On the cover is a black and white photograph of the Aztec Rock Crystal Skull of Mictlan-tecuhlti, from Musee de l’Homme, Paris and I can’t help thinking about that. The picture fascinated me for years, and on it goes I suppose, except that I can’t remember what I paid for it or even where it came from, I bought it second hand, the inner binding is beginning to fall apart, I think I caught it just in time. The thing is about this magazine, I suppose if it were a book it would be a perfect world, and you know how that goes, but I haven’t been able to throw it way, ever, it was always too valuable, I've had it for ages but I didn’t really know why until a short while ago. I guess it is a Treasure. Or rather I found The Treasure somehow, not sure how. I think I probably paid a dollar for it. Of course that’s jmvho. Oh I forgot to say something before you think I'm going mad or what, but that is where that entire interview was with lineage of Nechung Rinpoche who it turns out has a place in New York that I've never ever been too or even heard of. Strange world, or is it getting too much.
