Reincarnation: I’m a scattered religious freak, raised by snake handlers and southern Baptists, Catholic by conversion and Orthodox by marriage. As a kid I was always trying to argue the finer points of reincarnation to my father. Why did I not study comparative religion in college? Anyway - I was writing this thing filled with kundalini references the other day which led me to the work of an Italian metaphysician named Pallamidessi, who tried to combine kundalini practice with alchemy?!? Reading his very drifting sorts of writings, I discovered a point I’d never, ever considered – all those protestant teachings of being born again, baptism, imagery of re-birth. And I though, holy shit! I mean really. They talk and talk and talk, shake their fists and scream: WE TAKE THE WORD OF GOD LITERALLY!!!! And we only live once then you’re going to hell, but we’re not! But there their Jesus was, fussing until he was blue in the face about cleansing the soul through rebirth. I immediately called my father and started arguing again. That was my great big realization of the month. Thank you for asking.

Nagi is perfect.
