Hi, my name is Skyerise. My interests are quite varied, and include Buddhism, Gnosticism, Nondualism, and parts of Western esotericism. Oh, and maths, though I'm not very good at.

“ | In the province of the mind what one believes to be true, either is true or becomes true within certain limits. These limits are to be found experimentally and experientially. When so found these limits turn out to be further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind there are no limits. | ” |
— John C. Lilly |
“ | The echoes of the bicameral mind linger in our consciousness, a faint whisper from an ancient inner voice that once guided our ancestors, now woven into the fabric of our self-awareness, driving the dialogue between our rational thoughts and primal instincts. | ” |
— Solomon West |
“ | When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only of how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong. | ” |
— Buckminster Fuller |
“ | Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment. | ” |
