Imagination's Real (God In My Brain) -- For D.D. at 65













Magic, being the science of universalequilibrium, and having the truth, realityand reason of being for its absoluteprinciple, accounts for all the antimoniesand reconciles all actualities which are inconflict with one another by the onegenerating principle of every synthesis –that harmony results from the analogy of opposites.  









For the initiate of this science religion is not in doubt because it exists, and we do not deny what is.  Being is being. The apparent opposition of religion andreason is the strength of both, establishing each in its distinct domain and fructifying the negative side of each by the positive side of the other : as we have just said, it is the attainment of agreement by the correspondenceof things that are contrary.  The cause of allreligious errors and confusions is that inignorance of this great law, it has beensought to make religion a philosophy andphilosophy in its turn a religion.

This Man He Weeps Tonight -- Dave Davies Birthday Tribute






I wish that you could see
All the things that I have seen.
This mind of mine is making life worthwhile.
I wish that you'd have known
Of all the plans I had in store for us,
Laughing, dancing, traveling the world on our own.





I thought our thing would last,
'Cause it said so in my horoscope,
The days have gone and past while dreaming away.
The lighting here is dim,
And the room closes in around me.
Your picture's hanging loose on a rusting nail.




And this man, he weeps tonight
And his head is bowed with sorrow,
But what can you do, sitting there,
And you let him cry tomorrow,
Yes, you'll let him cry tomorrow.
Yes, you'll let him cry tomorrow.
