You just gave me my first proper belly laugh of the day, so thanks. I hadn't noticed, but the irony is pretty brutal isn't it?
Not sure where I sit on the current (and past, but more current) LSD-and-Eastern mysticism thing. Just because you've dropped a tab doesn't mean you're from Tibet y'know? What's wrong with the Western mystery traditions? Too much white-boy post-colonial guilt or summat?
As for the Goa brigade, well... fuck off to Goa.
I jest, only a little mind. Besides, I was 'Horus' for that short period, which ain't exactly 'Western' (not that I believe in these politico-cultural conceits mostly defined by white imperialists a few hundred years ago) but I suppose if you believe in the Trinity-syncretism-thing then he sort of sneaks in.
Am I convincing you to lay off the acid for a while yet, BCF?
