Welcome to Scare City
What we actually mean is “welcome to scarcity”; excuse our little attention-grabbing pun. And, we know this is like putting up a “Welcome to the USA” sign in the middle of Kansas. You’ve been here quite a while, but this is just in case you hadn’t noticed. This is why your life sucks and the…

Fox would like to say…
Ya’ know, I just gotta apologize here for a minute. Here I am twisting all of Mythology into balloon sculptures that all look, suspiciously, like the same old animal- the Quest for Enlightenment. I’m sorry I’ve ruined these stories for some of you. I know how it is, when you see something and you just…

Mythology Blown Apart: The Holy Grail
What do you want to do today? I dunno. I’m kinda fed up with the “usual”. I’m thinking we should try to find the Grail. Sure, and what shall we do after that? Whaddya mean “after that”?! Won’t that take practically forever? Nah, I put it away because I know you’re always forgetting where you…

Get it? Got it! Good.

Another episode of “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell”
Let’s play “The Temptation”. You mean the “Temptations”? Did you get one of their albums? No, no, I mean “The Temptation”. Let’s play, shall we? I’ll be the Devil and you can be Jesus. Again!? You were the Devil last time. But you make such a good Jesus I just wanna crucify you on the…

Apostle to the Gentiles
Apologies to our followers (all three of you!) for not writing sooner. We’ve been much too busy, not only with the Mundane World (which still exists in basically the same form, though for how much longer it can continue is anybody’s guess), but also with our own journeys in Non-Ordinary Reality (you’ve really got to…

The Way of Self Mastery
Let’s dive right in with a little story about the family of Carl Gustav Jung, the famous Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist who founded analytic psychology. Jung’s mother was an eccentric and depressed woman; she spent considerable time in her bedroom, where she said that spirits visited her at night. Although she was normal during the…

The Cosmic Vending Machine
“Let’s get something out of the vending machine.” “Sure. Tell me what they’ve got.” “Let’s see… There’s an Enlightenment Bar.” “How much?” “Uh, thoughts and ego.” “You got any on you?” “Thoughts? Nah, I spent all mine on Self Aggrandizement Chips yesterday.” “What about ego?” “With all those chips? Hell, yeah. But this thing says…

A Refresher
[Fox takes the mic] Hello!? [feedback] Okay, I just want to say to all my sisters and brothers out there, you know who you are, [a few cheers in the back] Yes. The highest attainment is the path of Love. There are other paths you can go by, but this is the way that leads…

Socrates and the duck, a lost fable of Aesop
{The Twins wanted to write their own blog post. So here goes. Make us proud, guys!} One day, as Socrates was hurrying to the Agora, he almost tripped over something, and a voice said: “Quack! Hey, watch it, wise guy!” “Who said that?” Socrates look around but couldn’t see who had spoken. “Over here… no,…
