TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Thursday, February 26, 2004
Hey, do either Matt or Jared remember that one night where John was on the phone with his girlie for like four hours and we made all those phone sex jokes? Well, since I am the designated pervert (all societies must have some) perhaps I can contribute that trinket to the s(a/e)x-O'-phone conversation.

Since I don't think anyone here understands Sanskrit, what does "Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata." mean? The only cliché that I know in English is "Tat tvam asi," "That art thou," or today, I suppose "You are that;" since all things are connected through Brahman, and all things from this greater being, your self, you Atman, is really an extension of the universal self; in essence we are all one part of the same being who is universal.

Ah Singapore.
Well, happy birthday nonetheless. The 18th is the day to leave the realm of beasts and joining that of human beings. Well, really it's not, but wouldn't it be cool if it were? Atleast you can sign your own field trip forms now.

Verily, my dear Brianagurya, it is here. The coca-cola is here, while the essence of it is in writing. The essence of writing is word. The essence of word is hymn. The essence of hymn is sound, and verily, my dear, the essence of sound is the universal “Om� and is Brahman.

1 I use verily because they use the word way too much in the Upanisads.
2 I think the deadline though, Brian was like October 31 or something for the preliminary thing. Did you do it?
