"I love the idea of being without an identity, it gives me a lot of room to play around; but it makes me dizzy, having nowhere to hang my hat. When I get too tired of not having an identity, I take one on: it doesn't really matter what identity I take on, as long as it's recognizable. I can be a writer, a lover, a confidante, a femme, a top, or a woman."-- Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women and the Rest of Us, by Kate Bornstein "It is as if you live and die many times. It seems sometimes as if you have just one central lesson to learn: to continuously drop all sorts of rigid identities. . . . Personal history may be your own greatest danger." -- The Shaman's Body, by Arnold Mindell "Bearing many similarities to the Stanislavsky system of Method Acting, the ritual systems of Chaos Magick aim at blocking the conscious mind and generating a state of consciousness known as gnosis, a state of mind in which the defenses of the discursive mind are overthrown and the magickal intention of the magician can be driven deep into the Absolute, that is to say into the quantum flux of the universe. Like Method Actors, Chaos Magicians seek to forget their identity in order to achieve their will, the change in the universe that is the goal of the magickal act." -- "Chaos Magick: Magickal Terrorism" by Marik, ZCHRONICLES 1.1 "Throw yourself at the ground and miss." -- Flying instructions, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams |
