Let me give you the list of what I haven't done, because it's shorter: Peyote Ayahuasca DMT ...yeah, other than that, I've done everything known to man since the 1500s. I don't like marijuana. The sensation isn't pleasant to me. I have a uniquely non-addictive personality. I still have an...

Oh, no. She doesn't play, she likes watching me play. She played Wizards 101 for a while (which is a very strangely fun game...like playing a kid-friendly online game of M:tG), but as she's 6 most MMOs are still a little tricky for her.

My daughter will sit down in the computer chair, play her educational games, then call out "Log in to Dungeons & Dragons, and kill some kobolds." However, I'm teaching her to tabletop. It's learning math skills...yeah.

I tried The Old Republic. Best single-player Star Wars game ever. Unfortunately, it's an MMO, so that causes some problems. :) 1) The lore of the Brotherhood. 2) I love stealth quests, and I love quests with non-traditional mechanics. The Dark Brotherhood quests have some interesting...

Currently (as in, this very moment) playing D&D Online. Generally, I've been playing Oblivion and Skyrim. I love running the Dark Brotherhood quest lines. So much, I usually abandon playing the main quest in favor of just being an assassin. ETA: Somewhere, I have a pong box. It's...

Well, clearly it needs some refinement. If I were doing this with a student, it'd be after 6-9 months of learning some physical/mental self-discipline techniques.

That's an excellent idea for a spiritual exercise - treat your significant other as if they were your idealized form of Love & Sex. See how it affects your relationship. Keep detailed notes. If your S.O. is not your ideal, then question why, if your standards are unrealistic, or what your...

The new Soundgarden album, of course, is in my car. I have fun counting the measures, because 7/4 time makes life better. :) Other than that, I think it's important to listen to this during the holiday season - The Killers - Don't Shoot Me Santa - YouTube And my current favorite song -...

Get out a calculator - I'm a Thelemite, and I practice a Feri influenced variant of Thelema, and I address faerie archetypes. So, I operate on both the traditional celtic calendar, and on Thelemic dates as well. It gets complicated, as Thelema uses a separate solar calendar for tracking your...

Oh, wildly woo woo, but if you accept the woo prior to engaging the woo, you can do the whole "this is purely symbolic" thing and STILL APPRECIATE THE WOO! Or, in other words, I like to ask my pendulum questions, as it creates a lateral line of thought. On the OP - There aren't any core...

"Anything worthwhile is dangerous." - Victor Anderson "White magic is whatever is pure and noble. Black magic is whatever works!" - Victor Anderson "Just because you're an atheist doesn't make your gods any less false." - J. R. "Bob" Dobbs "Lie down on the floor and keep calm." - John...

Kind of. I believed in a generalized fashion. I got chosen for the particular expression. Nope. It was Meadb, one of the insular Irish goddesses, also associated with the Queen Meadb of the Cattle Raid of Cooley, and the Queen Maeve/Mab of various faerie stories. I had no clue who this was...

YAY SURVEY RESEARCH FUN!! :D Which side of it? The philosophical view that dictates my beliefs, or my beliefs themselves? I chose Thelema as a philosophical construct as it, IMHO, most thoroughly and accurately describes the human condition. So far as what I believe and follow...

I've a feeling he's referring to me and my signature. Though interpreting what I say as "just make it up as you go" would be a horrible missing-of-the-point. :) Anyway, on topic: Handfasting is legally binding if performed by recognized clergy. The issue, of course, is that there are few...

It is a choice, but one made under duress, and a well-planned legal system makes allowances for it. ;)

Alan Moore, author of innumerable graphic novels including Watchmen, V is for Vendetta, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Batman: The Killing Joke, Hellblazer (or, at least, created John Constantine), From Hell, Lost Girls, and - for the most spiritual import - Promethea. He's a ceremonial...

Hypothetical question, which of these two individual would be more moral (assuming solicitation of a prostitute is an immoral act): Person A does not visit a prostitute because it is illegal, but would do so were it not for the criminal aspect. Person B does not visit a prostitute because...

I find it both pleasing and surreal to see Alan Moore on the list.

Same here.

Exactly. The mark of genuine forged wisdom that actually contains some truth is the presence of "invisible Tibetans." Unless you have at least one "invisible Tibetan master," I just can't take you seriously as a psuedepigraphic author of wisdom of the ages. Personally, I couldn't afford an...
