"You can alter your surroundings by altering your point of observation, and that is an act of magic that is performed by every artist. You can't teach anybody anything, they don't know, already on some level. You can't show anyone anything they haven't already seen. They just won't see it.
Of course, there are people who just don't want to see. There's always the danger to see more than you can take, and consider the dedicated professional non-seers are in all positions of power. And non-seeing is an escalating process. The less you see today, the less you will see and so forth."
William S. Burroughs
The Technology of Wishing, Part 1
(Convention @ Naropa University, 1968)

"What scared you all into time? Into body? Into shit? I will tell you; "the word." Alien Word "the." "The" word of Alien Enemy imprisons "thee" in Time, In Body. In Shit. Prisoner, come out. The great skies are open.”
