Hey Kids. I'm J from Sydney Australia. I've been a peace and environment activist for about ten years. Some of the cool stuff I've done includes the unauthorised instillation of solar panels on Australias Prime Ministers roof, running around a nuclear reactor dressed as a barrell of nuclear waste, rowing kayaks in front of warships and blockading coalition forces entering Iraq from Turkey. I recently taken a break from activism coz I am understanding more and more that it is more effective to create the reality one wishes to see rather than fighting the reality one does not like. Spirituality; I'm really into Toaist philosophy (if your language is english and you wanna learn more on Taoism I highly recommend any translations by Brian Browne Walker... he gets the spirit of that philosophy). I'm pretty hip on most other philosophies as I went on a bit of a spiritual quest to find "the answers" which included OBES, Kundalini, Tantra, past life regression, reiki, kabala pathwork, yoga etc etc. Eventually the taosist statement "the more you know the less you understand" really began to make sense... I've seen a UFO, but I've also taken a lot of acid. I meditate, play the guitar, write fantasy adventure, smoke weed, play hacky sack and generally just chill for fun. Anyway, this looks like a great site and I look forward to discussing ideas with many of you. Peace. J
