Bio| Oh marvel! A garden amidst the flames! My heart has become capable of all forms: For gazelles, a meadow, for monks, a monastery, A temple for idols, the pilgrim’s Ka‘ba, The Tablets of the Torah, the Book of the Koran. I profess the religion of Love, and whatever the diction Taken by its mount, Love is my religion and my faith. -- Ibn `Arabi, "The Interpreter of Desires", 11.12-15 | “He who Binds Himself to a Joy Does the winged life destroy He who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in Eternity's sunrise …“ -- William Blake |
| "If the moon is the mistress of our affairs / And on silver wings my maiden flies / Then maybe sex is honey-dew / Fallen from the purple skies When my work has reached its end / And the Eagle flies above / Roses will fall from the atmosphere / When I meet my True Love" -- Gentle Rain, by Vega-33. | |
By day, I'm a mild mannered helpdesk technician working at one of the largest hosting companies in Australia. In my infinite spare time, I like to investigate those things which make other people's hair curl. Consciousness is my favourite subject, and its secret inroads into the world - in magick, prayer, the natural world and all the other areas it manifests its hidden power.
Another area of interest is my lover, mate and partner in the Great Work![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
espiritkat, who I met in 2006. I hope one day to live over in the Bay area with her. She helps me to keep my sanity through the hours of the daily grind.
I am a Burner, and playa dust is the special seasoning for dishes I prepare every year when we go to participate in the making of our dreams in the middle of the Nevada desert. My burner name is Pahana, for several reasons which will become apparent if you know me well enough.
I am a card carrying member of Temple of all Gods, a group of ragtag magicians, thelemites, tantrikas and consciously living freaks formed by my good friendveleda.
I am a philosopher and sometimes a scholar, with a library of well over 500 books scattered across Australia and the U.S. Some day I hope to write a book or two based on my researches. You never know, it could happen!
All of this hardly scratches the surface. I like to blog a lot, often about inane and boring topics - my everyday life, movies I watch, miraculous events that occurred to me in the process of conscious living, and more. I sometimes make angsty emo posts aided by too much wine or beer, sometimes I even make posts that I regret making public and make them private instead. I love people deeply, am an empath and a healer. I can be shy at times, but its okay to come up and talk to me and interact!
You'll find out more if you friend me and let me know how you found my journal.
