Declaration of principles

[Juan Illan]

I do not know the thing I am, and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to look upon the world or on myself.

[zachary samuel krueck]

i kknow this, at the time you wrote this, you were these thoughts and the feeling(s) that went with them, you were your fingers moving and your ass sitting in the chair. the thing we are will always, always be a mystery as i believe our creator is mystery personified so to speak. etraordinarily ordinary awareness it attaches to nothing and nothing sticks toit. as to how to look upon the world, well juan i dont know what country you are in or your family and frinds situation but i was raised a lower middle class kid in america going to catholic school, watching tv, and all the things that go with living ina materialistic society. cynicism,sarcasm, and being jaded were hard to avoid. so wehn i find myself going back to these attitudes i picture myself being born and raised among a native american tribe hundreds of years ago, or living in the jungle with a tribe, or the masai tribe in africa. not judging their common everyday practices as good or bad. no one is a stranger .
