I hate saying I'm atheist, because for many people that conjures up a bleak, "unspiritual" way of viewing things. I believe in science, yes; and indeed, not in any kind of supernatural forces. I believe in human fallibility, but also recognize that I am human and therefore cannot know everything. I believe in patterns, and in logic. Logic is a great human invention, and it has spawned wonderful bodies of knowledge (i.e. science), but it is not the way our minds work. Our minds work in as complex, dynamic, and ordered a way as the physical dynamics of the Earth work. It's all so motherfucking beautiful, and when I tried DMT the first and only time a year and a half ago I was able to feel this knowledge of my oneness with everything, and I still cross myself over that memory every time I think about it. I don't believe in God, but I can't deny the beauty and mystery of it all.
