2001-07-25 - 12:15 a.m. para mi amor: (para might be different di Italia) I honestly think I'm in love with allen ginsberg. This is something newfound; a presence innate in my being, to have unhindered empathy and compassion for mankind. I'm reading his selected interviews. All of his "mystical experiences" were derived post-masturbatory or during psychedelic frenzies. amazing! He describes writing as merely an outlet for the "voice of the universe," that being manifested as Blake's voice. The unyielding lust he felt for humanity and life is quite striking - I can honestly feel sensuality emanate from his words, as if he is trying to engulf millenia of confused and contradictory ego-based nonsense in a kiss, a caresse. disarmingly beautiful, to be appropriately cliche. In retrospect I don't find it surprising at all that 95% of the Beats were lovers. They had amazing intellectual exchanges; why not progress that to something physical? I wouldn't even call it homosexual eroticism; nay, it was trascendental -- embracing the manifested unconscious; (note: psychedelic is rooted in psyche - soul/Mind; and delos - manifested) making love to prose, to Adam, to Eve, to all contained within the Tree of Knowledge; with even an open invitation to Lucifer.
