[MD] Philosophy and Philosophology

[gav]

my favourite contemporary philosophers, well some anyway:

robert pirsig (writer)
bjork (musician, actress)
tim rogers (musician, actor)
tom brown jr (tracker, writer, teacher)
eckhart tolle (writer)
cheryl wilkinson (lady that worked at the hemp farm i just returned from)
dr wayne dyer (writer)
bill hicks (comedian)
michael talbot (writer)
anastasia/vladimir megre (siberian witch/ businessman turned writer)
don juan/carlos casteneda (yacqui indian/ anthropologist, writer)
osho (guru)
anais nin (writer, artists' benefactor)
henry miller (writer)
angela carter (writer)
david bohm (physicist)
ram dass (psychologist, writer, spiritual dude)
coline serreau (actress, director)
dave buchanan (guy who likes talking in coffee shops)
the tarot in good hands


but above and inclusive of all: life in all its dynamic and magical splendour.
pay attention and it smoothes the way to freedom and happiness, but ignore the signs and beware! 

the signs...i guess life is like a detective story....we are leaving clues for ourselves all over the place so that we may solve the mystery of our own absence...ironically by giving up the search and becoming the mystery itself.
