Spiritual Anarchy
Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Years earlier, I had moved to New York City with a degree in music and a husband who was beginning a Ph.D. program. My first job, and the best job I could get, had been as a secretary at a brokerage house. By working 70-80 hours a week, taking business courses at night, and doggedly pursuing a jump to the professional track, I finally got a break, and moved into investment banking. When I decided to leave Wall Street, I was the Senior Media and Telecom analyst for Latin America at Merrill Lynch, and the top-ranked analyst in my field.

Temple of the Jedi Order
The Church of the SubGenius
Down to Navigation Controls A wild double-bluff religion that arose from the memetically hot swamps of UFO cults, 50's kitsch, Aleister Crowley, Discordianism, Robert Anton Wilson, est and various other self-help groups, designer religions, and living myths. The biggest joke about the church is that it's no joke at all. The SubGenii are a bunch of true-believers who delight in labeling non-SubGenii as head-in-the-sand "Pinks" or Archie Bunkeresque "Glorps," both groups being unwitting dupes of a grand Conspiracy designed to yoke humankind to ignorance and soul-sucking desk jobs.
The Headless Way
"There is a Reality which is Indivisible, One, Alone, the Source and Being of all; not a thing, nor even a mind, but pure Spirit or clear Consciousness; and we are That and nothing but That, for That is our true Nature; and the only way to find It is to look steadily within, where are to be found utmost peace, unfading joy, and eternal life itself." (From Religions of the World by Douglas Harding) What you are depends on the range of the observer.
Self-Inquiry stands on its own as a unique practice divorced from any affiliation with any single religious or spiritual path. It exists at the core of all religions and spiritual schools. The first is that you are not what you think you are. You have mistakenly taken on an identity (usually seen as limited) that is other than what you actually are. In other words, the source of suffering is a false idea about what you are, and the solution to that falseness is the truth of what you are. The inquiring into the truth of what you are takes two forms; one is "who am I?"
The Practice of Self Inquiry
Christopher: I am a slow typer so patience will be required!I came upon your work for the first time one day before I contacted you. Read everything that I could find on the net Christopher: I have followed the deconstruction work for years via many seeming paths including Zen,self inquiry and most recently Advaita Vedanta but the moment of truth was when I REALIZED(beyond intellectually) what a pathetic,desperate existence I had/have been living and knew that this trying to reach the end via the ways and means that were being followed were doomed for complete failure no self.

John & Gaia say F**k It to running their own retreat and establish 'F**k It Retreats', doing what they love the most - teaching their F**k It philosophy in spectacular locations in Italy. Yes, we're taking the best of what we were doing at The Hill That Breathes (the retreat we were running and still our home) to other spectacular locations in Italy, including a luxurious estate & spa near Urbino (and The Hill) and on a volcanic island near Sicily. So you can do our famous F**k It Weeks, or Gaia’s Magic Weeks, or experience the masterly genius of Barefoot Doctor and Karl Grunick in amazing new places. F**k It Retreats are very ( very (very) ) popular One of the reasons we're doing F**k It Retreats in other locations is that the F**k It weeks have been so unbelievably popular at The Hill.
The F**k It Way
We seem to be living in a world that is getting less hospitable every day. Look closely at any endeavor our species has engaged in and it appears we are unaware of the harm we do, we ignore the harm we do, we intentionally do harm for our own gain, or sadly in some cases we do harm for our own pleasure and enjoyment. Has no one taught us to do no harm?
