Son House - Grinnin’ In Your Face

“Don’t you mind people grinning in your face.There’s one thing to bear in mind
A true friend is hard to find. Don’t you mind people grinning in your face.”

Lately, I’ve really been getting into the blues. On recommendation of Jack White (The White Stripes), who said this was his favorite song I sought and downloaded ‘Grinning in your Face’. It’s absolutely stunning. One man against the world, anti the establishment, loneliness, purity…

The Creative Process

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:26:21 -0500

seekingsatori:

+ The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure; it’s a little like making love, the physical act of love.

+Francis Bacon

“I knew i was lost, and i was! And i’ve always have been. We are all lost, we are all chip cracked, but the most intelligent of us learn. In other words we are not masters of our fate, everything happens by chance, and it’s the very people who think they have everything in control and they are running everything who get into the most trouble.”

“Eternity isn’t some later time. Eternity isn’t even a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now that all thinking in temporal time cuts off. And if you don’t get it here, you won’t get it anywhere …
the experience of eternity right here and now, in all things, whether thought of as good or evil, is the function of life.
This is it.”

- Joseph Campbell (via crashinglybeautiful)

““Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar’s gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart throught the world. There in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges, socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with a real knowledge of the human soul.””

- Carl Jung

“When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influence, and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and dying a cold horror. It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world.”

- John Steinbeck, East of Eden (via lastchatwithphontaine)

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand

Workin’ in the dark against your fellow man

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”

- Joseph Campbell
