I see a lot of consumers in stores that look to me like they are possessed by spirits or demons or whatever you wanna call it. They look crazed.

I'm not a good consumer. I hardly buy anything unless I really need it. I don't have TV. Havent had it for over a decade. I gave almost all of my furniture away to the locals. I'm kind of camping out, the way I live. Ha!

(1) I really hate consumerism, commercialism, industrialism, and materialism. I loathe all desires for land, housing, cars, food, children, and gorgeous spouses. All I want is a cultured, stable mind.

(2) To be able to talk about, for example, good movies and books at profound levels is far richer than having a great car or house.

I got a little piece of land here & I own it. I got it cheap, during the financial crisis of 08. It's paid for. This gives me a lot of latitude. I basically have no rent, no mortgage. It's nothing to brag about but, goddammit, it's cost effective.

Well, that's great. I'm really glad you're free of all that. You suffered and worked tremendously hard in the past. So you deserve what you have now.

Ha! I didn't work that hard. I just tried to avoid getting caught up in shit that I didn't need. No kids, low overhead, I had a little bit of cash, the seller was highly motivated & it worked out.

You may not have worked that hard to get that land you own. But before that, you had certainly worked hard in your series of excruciating relationships, in your relationships with your parents and siblings, in pursuing truth through religion and philosophy, and everything else.

Oh. You mean that kind of work. OK. Yeah. I've been thru some wacky shit. But I guess we all have, in our own way. I sure have been thru the religions. Haha. One time I went to a serpent handler religious convention. A pastor got bit & died. I swear to god.

Gosh, that's tragic! But then again, the victim might have been looking for a good way to die. I hope he didn't suffer much in dying.

Yeah. Mack Wolford was his name. Google it. He's a legendary serpent handler. Yeah. They all wanna die "in the signs", as they say. I went down becuz I love their music. It's like psychedelic rock with more adrenaline. They also drink strychnine & handle fire
