Santo Says...

"The Road to the Western Lands is by definition the most dangerous road in the world, for it is a journey beyond Death, beyond the basic God standard of Fear and Danger. It is the most heavily guarded road in the world, for it gives access to the gift that supersedes all other gifts: Immortality. The Road to the Western Lands is devious and unpredictable. Today’s easy passage may be tomorrow’s death trap. The most obvious road is almost always a fool’s road, and beware the middle Roads, the roads of moderation, common sense and careful planning. However, there is a time for common sense and careful planning. A dangerous road. Every pitfall, every error, every snare to which Everyman has been liable since the beginning, you are sure to meet on the road to the Western Lands. To reach the Western Lands is to achieve freedom from fear. Do you free yourself from fear by cowering in your physical body for eternity? Your body is a boat to lay aside when you reach the far shore, or sell it if you can find a fool… it’s full of holes… it’s full of holes" ~ The Western Lands, William S Burroughs



"The most arbitrary, precarious, and bureaucratic immortality blueprint was drafted by the ancient Egyptians. First you had to get yourself mummified, and that was very expensive, making immortality a monopoly of the truly rich. Then your continued immortality in the Western Lands was entirely dependent on the continued existence of your mummy. That is why they had their mummies guarded by demons and hid good. Here is plain G.I. Horns.... He's got enough baraka to survive his first physical death. He won't get far. He's got no mummy, he's got no names, he's got nothing. What happens to a bum like that, a nameless, mummyless asshole? Why, demons will swarm all over him at the first checkpoint. He will be dismembered and thrown into a flaming pit, where his soul will be utterly consumed and destroyed forever. While others, with sound mummies and the right names to drop in the right places, sail through to the Western Lands" ~ The Place of Dead Roads, William S Burroughs

I'm trying to figure out how we have not yet met.

I don't get out much I'm afraid and I'm pretty shy when I do.

Pleasure to meet you, though... feel free to drop by whenever or 'friend me' as the kids say.
