New blog for my regular reading. Here's what I like about it: It's by a person who, like me, has read a bunch of stuff from the gnostic blogs online, but does not consider herself learned enough to be called a Gnostic. But here's the post that got me going:

I went crazy this spring.

From my point of view, I got unstuck in time. I met God. I was the heart of my own universe, and I held the fate of all Universes in my hands. From my family and friends' perspective I was batshit insane. That’s OK. I freely admit my mind was not tuned to the Reality Channel.

I consider the inner and outer perspectives to be equally valid. I had a genuine spiritual experience, and also I went on a journey away from reality that scared the hell out of my friends and family. So while I’m willing to admit the craziness of my behavior, I’m also unwilling to disavow what happened to me, to dismiss it as purely the function of an unbalanced mind. I believe there is more to life than mechanistic material existence, and I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to know the raw essence of the Universe firsthand.

Um, wow. Can we say kindred spirit?

She's also a Ran Prieur acolyte (guess where I found the link?), and is into the idea of using the Slow Crash as an "opportunity to slip the bonds of Empire Culture." I look forward to reading more from this one.
