I feel like a fraud when people talk about their woo. Because it seems so damn cool and intriguing and it's something everyone around me is super excited about, especially people i admire and want to get closer too. Neptunians and alchemists and pagans and explorers of every shape size and density all seem to have this part of their minds that is super important to them and that i know is perfectly valid and useful and in no way is causing harm to them or to anyone else that I can see.

But I just don't seem to connect on the same level, and I don't know if I can.

I don't have a system, or a pantheon, or rituals of my own. And I don't feel right using someone elses without having the context or knowing all the pieces or getting all the lore.

There's just this huskybot who feels alone in her circuits sometimes who catches the back-scatter of lots of other signals being broadcasted but can't integrate the data.

@kelseyhusky Hmm, there's gotta be a path for you! Maybe look for something on the border fence between "mysticism" and "rationalism?" I've seen some good stuff under the "neurotheology banner," or maybe something like John C. Lilly's "human bioprogramming" stuff, whose main focus is the mind/brain instead of some abstract force? Or some of Robert Anton Wilson's stuff? (I almost want to recommend some Laurie Anderson, too, but that's just me. n.n; )
