Oracle of Delphi

what is consciousness? how do you know you are alive? great philosophers and witches were often under the influence of something. to the extent that we even understand what can influence us, and whether we will it or are manipulated by it, i suggest that every moment we are being influenced. there is a spectrum, of course, and it must be true that the more energy, or thought, that is perceived, the more intense the influence becomes.

sometimes i wish i was more influenced. i resist it because it feels like giving away power. the irony is the Oracle, under the influence of earths intoxicant, had more power than anyone of her time. message here...know yourself
