Change Ahead – Expect Delays

in fnord, sadhana and dharma

I am going to move my site to another host, sometime this week. There will likely be downtime, so don’t go bonkers if Youdopia isn’t around, or it isn’t being updated as much. I’m moving it to greener pastures, with a nice older couple upstate. They have a farm and Youdopia will get to run [...]

I Love These Guys. The Lulz Boat Is The Coolest Thing Ever.

in fnord, sadhana and dharma, wisdom

If the bad guys speak like the good guys are supposed to, and the good guys act like bad guys… and the good guys imprison, torture, lie, extort, exploit, and exhaust the country, and the people whom they are sworn to serve (remember… public servants), then I believe the time has come for a reevaluation [...]

I Live In Paradise. Portland Uber Alles

in fnord, sadhana and dharma

I can see this anytime I want. I could see it now, if I got on the roof. I would be able to see it from my window, but there are too many beautiful trees. Me gusto mucho. I’m so glad we moved back, and so happy we were able to. Life is good.

Watch “In Search Of The Great Beast 666″ For Free Online. Sponsored By Goldman Sachs.

in craziest shit ever, fnord, sadhana and dharma

  This movie In Search Of The Great Beast 666 was apparently made by a quasi-sentient fungus with no sense of humor, or it was made by my grandmother. By this I mean it is a tad biased against Frater Perderabo. Aleister Crowley (seen here as a kitty cat) is a polarizing, yet deeply significant, [...]

Courage In Action: Kindergarten Teacher Sings To Kids, During Gun Fight, To Keep Them Calm

in craziest shit ever, fnord, sadhana and dharma

No ha ha’s here, I’m afraid. Teacher Martha Rivera Alanis was teaching her class in Monterrrey, Mexico, when a shoot out broke out, outside. She makes the kids lay on the floor, and then she sings songs with them (as people outside are being killed) to keep them calm. Incredible courage, and compassion is shown [...]

Youdopia Is Open For Business Again.

in craziest shit ever, fnord, sadhana and dharma

After six weeks of darkness, Youdopia lives again.  My ISP went under, and all their hosted sites (including mine) were frozen. Until my (old) ISP paid their overdue balance, I was powerless to get my site back (with lawyers and money and even then… jesus). After weeks of furious fist pounding and binge drinking, I [...]

Notes From Brainstorm Session #1

in fnord, sadhana and dharma

  The faithful believe Everything happens for a reason. The nonbelievers say Everything happens for no reason. They’re both wrong. Everything happens. That’s all. Everything happens all the time all through time. For every instant there are infinite sets of circumstance by which reality manifests. It’s like: Omnidirectional roulette wheel. Sea Foam Net of jewels [...]

Opera Star Patricia Racette (My former neighbor) And Her “It Gets Better” Video

in fnord, sadhana and dharma

I grew up around the corner from Patricia Racette, in Bedford, New Hampshire. I never really got to know her, as I was a few years younger, and a little too far away to play in the same circles, but I remember her and her brother Peter, as really nice people. Anyway, Patricia went on [...]

Aleister Crowley For President in 2012. Funniest Campaign Commercial Ever!

in fnord, funniest shit ever, humor, sadhana and dharma, wisdom

Front porch pundits Jackie and Dunlap, from Red State Update, have created a commercial for Aleister Crowley for president in 2012.  It’s hilarious, mainly because there is a real knowledge of Crowley and Thelema shown in their hijinks.  I was surprised at how funny this is. I’ve written of Crowley before. The Aleister Crowley for [...]

I am out of sorts.

in Doodles, fnord, sadhana and dharma

I want to beat someone to death with a hammer. Not anyone specifically, but just “someone”. I get grumpy when I get tired, and my turkey popper popped, and I’m fried. And what the fuck happened to the Walking Dead? It’s like a goddamn Lifetime movie. More zombies please, or move it to Telemundo with [...]

Prop 8 And The Latest Distraction From The Carnage – The Wheel Rolls On

in fnord, sadhana and dharma

I rarely talk politics, Youdopia, mainly because this blog doesn’t really overlap with politics. Nazis and demons can like Led Zeppelin as much as Saints and Samaritans.  The whole prop 8 thing is ridiculous to me. Gay marriage seems to be an issue that keeps politically active people, on both sides, from expending energy on [...]

A Sunday Homily From The Gnostic Church By Most Rev. Stephan Hoeller: A Little Alternative Christianity

in sadhana and dharma, wisdom

Given that it’s Sunday, Youdopia, I thought I would share a little light with you. This man is Stephan Hoeller, and he is a bishop of the gnostic church. Not the one that is associated with Crowley and the OTO, but just the plain old gnostic christian church. Gnostic Christianity has a provenance as old [...]

STFU: Killing In The Name Of Religion Is Fucking Retarded.

in Doodles, sadhana and dharma

We’ve gone to the fucking moon. We have the Internet, insulin pumps, penis pills, and ps3s. Knock it off with the conceit of perfect understanding. Killing I understand. I want to kill people all the time. Compared to what goes through my mind when I can’t find my wallet, Vlad the Impaler was Mr Rogers. [...]

Coolest Shit Ever: Ikaros Space Probe To Test Solar Sail Propulsion

in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, sadhana and dharma

Since we, as a country, decided to pussy out of big time space exploration, we have to look to other countries for cool space news. Japan has developed a probe which will use a solar sail to push it through space. Photons have mass, which is why light can be trapped by the gravitational pull [...]

You got your demiurge in my orthodoxy. You got your orthodoxy in my demiurge. An agnostic looks at gnosticsism

in fnord, sadhana and dharma, wisdom

I’ve been listening to Stephan Hoeller lectures, as I go to sleep at night. This has given me a pretty good introduction to Hoeller’s brand of gnosticism. I have been assailed (in a way) by gnosticism for over 25 years. I would buy occult books in my idiot teen years, and one of them was [...]
