William S. Burroughs I work for the Black Hole, where all natural laws are invalid. Posted at 10:46 PM Oct 13 view more
About me: Anarchist, heroin addict, alcoholic, nihilist, homosexual crusader, and brilliant writer, William S. Burroughs was the patron saint and Prince of Darkness of the Beats of the 1950's. His ground-breaking avant-garde masterpiece Naked Lunch shocked the literary world with its graphic descriptions of drug abuse and sexual perversion which resulted in a landmark Supreme Court ruling on obscenity.
A rebel-hero, Burroughs symbolized the anti-authoritarian cause for three generations of the young and disillusioned, exploring the murkiest depths of human terror and degradation in his art and in his life. ..

Aurobindo, Sri. (H) Ghose Aurobindo (1872-1950) Indian Yogi and philosopher whose work was based on the belief that all philosophy and religion stem from personal experience. His “Integral Yoga” still attracts a huge following. In 1926, Aurobindo developed the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, with the assistance of his collaborator, The Mother. Among his works are Lights on Yoga, The Problem of Rebirth, Bases of Yoga, Thoughts and Glimpses, The Hierarchy of Minds, and The Life Divine. James Grauerholz on WSB in his old age: “I think he never stopped believing that, in the words of Sri Aurobindo, which he often quoted: ‘This is a war universe’ - and he always saw himself in the warrior’s role.” From “Tricycle: The Buddhist Review,” Spring, 2001.
Burroughs made published reference to this Aurobindo statement on at least two occasions: PAG, p. 53 and LW, p. 79. He also quoted Aurobindo’s last words twice in his final journal entries: “It is all over.” LW, p. 42 and LW, p. 214.
