I lost my battle with reality

What? "a rational derangement of all the senses"
Why? "To achieve the unknown"
How? "Any way possible"

I do not claim that these thoughts are my own, I claim only that they reside in my mind!

"There are things that are known, and things that are unknown, in between are the doors." - JIM

"The roads of excess lead to the palace of wisdom"

To go all the way, or to die trying. Driven by an unrelenting need to test the bounds of reality, to probe the sacred, to explore the profane.
All or nothing, the ecstatic risk!

Cut to modernity.
Something inside you shifts, the unholy terror. "No one here gets out alive" -- Heard that in a song called "five to one"
Confronting the end, eternity moves ever so slightly.

Aristotle - "Mystery festivals should be unforgettable events, casting their shadow over the whole of one's future life, creating experiences that transform existence"

Nietzsche, Van Gogh, Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Poe, Blake, Artaud, Cocteau, Nijinsky, Byron, Coleridge, Dylan Thomas, Brendan Behan, Jack Derouac & finally Jim Morisson.
------ the ones who felt life too intensely to bear living it, the mad ones, the doomed ones. Writers, poets, painters, artists stubbornly resistant to authority, and insistent on being loyal to their true nature at any cost.
---- D. Sugerman.
Salutations!
