we live in a world
of smoke and mirrors
of mystery and magic
a world not as it seems
not one reality
but many realities
thinly connected together
we choose the worlds we see
the bridges we cross
each of us seeing it as we choose
come walk with me into my world
pass without judgment
into a short moments diversion
wizards we are all wizards
the magic makers in our lives
the spell casters
the fate twisters
we do this all the time
many of us unaware
it happens anyway
drama we are all actors
all playing a role
wearing a costume
speaking our lines
we wouldn't even be here
for the real "self"
is so beyond all form
as to seem without identity
yet it's very real
very potent
who is this person you ask
well, I don't really exist
you created me
to express a part of yourself
so I'm you
just another mirror like so many mirrors
mirrors being everywhere of course
no really you say! really!
I am your own thoughts
bouncing back to you
so as to take form
through me
and all other mirrors
you get to see you
after all the real you has no form
so in the end
you get to believe you are you
and I might choose to think I'm me
well here I am
In the microcosm...
I like things that on the outside appear dark, mysterious, mystical, and even a bit spooky, but inside hold the torch of light and deep awareness. I like to go against the grain of society and the conventional, and to really think about and question everything. I don't like things that are mundane, dull, lifeless, boring, or lacking in unique character.
Values I consider important:
Honesty, intelligence, wisdom, integrity, self-contemplation, curiosity, the asking of why, knowing the self, sobriety, open mindedness, acceptance of diversity, kindness, being nice, logic, creativity, fairness, open mindedness to the possible existence of a spiritual reality, individuality, unique self expression, acceptance of sexuality as something positive, acceptance of sexual diversity, acceptance of cultural and ethnic diversity, acceptance of spiritual and religious diversity, and sincerity.
Things I dislike:
Dishonesty, dogma, meanness, mixing of religion and politics together, cigarettes, workaholism, religious extremism, suburbia, the neo-con movement, anarchism, right-wing political views, the exploitive side of capitalism, obeying leaders without question no matter what, atheism, violence, bigotry (racism, homophobia, prejudice against certain racial groups or cultures, prejudice against any religious or spiritual beliefs, prejudice against certain lifestyles or subcultures, prejudice against particular ideas or ways of thinking, discrimination against certain ways of dressing, classism, prejudice based on a person's income level, etc), drug abuse, alcohol abuse.
My Path:
I practice the Chinese school of Pure Land Buddhism. Pure Land Buddhism involves meditating on the name of Amitabha Buddha. In the Chinese school we meditate on the mantra "Namo Ami-to Fo". This literally translates to "Hail Amitabha Buddha". I actively study Buddhist knowledge from all branches of Buddhism (dharma), as well as study spiritual knowledge from all religions, spiritual, and esoteric paths.
I also strictly follow a vegetarian diet of no meat, no fish, no eggs.
Who I'd like to meet:
I like people who are unique, different, and have interesting dynamic personalities and don’t conform to anything that does not resonate with their own inner truth. I enjoy people with wisdom, depth, and compassion.
I love beautiful women, who are sensual, spiritual, intelligent, and nice. I would enjoy meeting single women of this type.
I'd also love to meet other Buddhists, especially other Pure Land Buddhists.
I'm interested in meeting those who are into the gothic subculture and live in my local area or in any Midwestern regional big cities.
I would enjoy meeting women who would like to explore BDSM with me in my local area. I am a Dom and any women who wish to experiment with this with me should be interested in trying the role of being a sub.
A note about all those "I bought you as my pet" messages I keep getting: Ok since this seems to have become an issue, just so you all know, I am _not_ the type to ever be someone's pet. So don't try it ok! But, if you are cute and female, you are welcome to be my pet. :)
