Psycho

Interesting day today. Reading some manuscripts and trying to politely say they were not what was being looked for. Never done that before. Power. Everything seems to be related to it, leads up to it.
I would probably agree with Mr. Huxley. It is hard not to. I don't think his 'artistic values' are meant to be a means for survival, at least not in the physical sense. In reference to spiritualism it is absolutely essential, spiritualism in the sense of a realm analyzing the material one we live in. Truth. The truth or whatever that may be. And I think he probably also believes that spiritualism is neccessary to live in a world that is otherwise, as he describes. Lack of meaning, sinister and hopeless? >David<

Probably not. I dont think so.

A quote. Brilliant. (dark)

"This was was I could understand, this was how I lived my life, what I constructed my movement around, how I dealt with the tangible. This was the geography around which my reality revolved: it did not occur to me, ever, that people were good or that a man was capable of change or that the world could be a better place through one's taking pleasure in a feeling or a look or a gesture, of receiving another person's love or kindness. Nothing wa affirmative, the term "generosity of spirit" applied to nothing, was a cliche, was some kind of bad joke. Sex is mathematics. Individuality no longer an issue. What does intelligence signify? Define reason. Desire - meaningless. Intellect is not a cure. Justice is dead. Fear, recrimination, innocence, that no one really felt anymore. Reflection is uselles, the world is senseless. Evil is its only permanence. God is not alive. Love cannot be trusted. Surface, surface, surface was all that anyone found meaning in...this was civilization as I saw it, collosal and jagged..."
American Psycho

Bateman's view not mine. (Listening to the Talking Heads for him.)

More reading follows at work morrow. Psycho is finished.
The journey continues.
