Not for the ones who like dwelling in in safe Illusions: NEW PROJECT CAMELOT INTERVIEW WITH JAMES (Nov 2008).
"There is a happiness in Deism, when rightly understood, that is not to be found inany other system of religion. All other systems have something in them that either shock our reason, or are repugnant to it, and man, if he thinks at all, must stifle his reason in order to force himself to believe them."

People really believe this stuff?
Originally posted by InfaRedManThere's been plenty of evidence floating around the web concerning the Wingmakers hoax.
However, I don't feel I should waste my time providing it
You'd prefer to take the route of "Magical Thinking"

I found the artwork very beautiful as well. Since we're on the subject
of spirituality I'll throw in my two cents worth.
The difficulty with spirtuality is it's sheer simplicity. We humans love
to complicate things, turning everything around us into puzzles that
we feel a need to figure out. Such is the way of logic.
Our jouney begins with self-awareness, that we are a separate
biological entity on this earth. We then proceed to spend much of
our lives trying to find our way back to that original state of bliss,
that place where there was no separation.
Intuitively we know that we are part of a something greater than
ourselves but the western ways of science and reason induce our
thought processes to continue a methodology of division and
linear thought. Once we become fed up with the logical routines
we begin to seek other avenues of being. Some will turn to drugs
or alcohol, others to religion or meditation attempting to break the
mental bonds that society and ourselves have placed upon us.
Others can ignore it altogether and live lives of action without
thought. All of these will bring us no closer to the truth we seek
than the day we realized our separation. What is the truth? What
or who is God? Our senses have decieved us, our thoughts have
bound us. Like a plant that has grown we have become taller,
sent out roots in the soil but we have yet to flower. When it is
our time we will blossom.
The tree doesn't worry about how tall it is, whether it has leaves
or none. whether it's roots have dug deeper. It does not care if it
has fruit on it's branches. This is how we should become, not
worrying about these things but to BE, to recieve the sun and
rain. To live. This is to be without time or space, becoming eternal
in the moment. Here you can find all things, the connection of all
life. It is a blessing. Acknowledge it. Feel it. Become it and you will
be joined with, and become a part of the infinite circle of being.
No beginning, no end. Just being. This is to be alive.
Sorry if I got off topic, I just started writing and that came out
