Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

The passage of time has not altered the capacity of the redeemer to change men’s lives. as he said to the dead lazarus, so he says to you and me: “come forth.” come forth from the despair of doubt. come forth from the sorrow of sin. come forth from the death of disbelief. come forth to a newness of life. come forth.

The profession of shaman has many advantages. it offers high status with a safe livelihood free of work in the dreary, sweaty sense. in most societies it offers legal privileges and immunities not granted to other men. but it is hard to see how a man who has been given a mandate from on high to spread tidings of joy to all mankind can be seriously interested in taking up a collection to pay his salary; it causes one to suspect that the shaman is on the moral level of any other con man. but it is a lovely work if you can stomach it.

The shaman is a person who is able to transcend the dimensional confines of cultural existence. they know more than the people they serve. the people they serve are like children within the game of culture. only the shaman knows that culture is a game. everyone else takes it seriously. that's how he can do his magic.

Cultural conditioning is like bad software. over and over it's diddled with and re-written so that it can just run on the next attempt. but there is cultural hardware, and it's that cultural hardware, otherwise known as authentic being, that we are propelled toward by the example of the shaman and the techniques of the shaman. ... shamanism therefore is a call to authenticity.

It is necessary to give freely if we are to receive freely. the law of receiving includes giving. the knowledge that substance is omnipresent and that people cannot, therefore, impoverish themselves by giving (but rather will increase their supply) will enable us to give freely and cheerfully.

I think the reality is that copyright law has for a very long time been a tiny little part of american jurisprudence, far removed from traditional first amendment jurisprudence, and that made sense before the internet. now there is an unavoidable link between first amendment interests and the scope of copyright law. the legal system is recognizing for the first time the extraordinary expanse of copyright regulation and its regulation of ordinary free-speech activities.
