If you believe knowledge is power, which I certainly do, then the Internet is the Dispensation, you know, the angels have landed... Now lets see if information can liberate. That's why I don't want to do something stupid like die and miss the whole unfoldment of this proposition that knowledge is power, information will liberate. And it will be settled in the next 10 or 15 years. Either they'll get a handle on it —whoever "they" are, whatever a "handle" means— or it will slip from their control and it will be clear that some kind of dialogue is now going on between individual human beings and the sum-total of human knowledge and that nothing can stop it, that some kind of renaissance, some kind of total new relationship to knowledge and possibility is put in place. |

Fudo (Fudo-Myo-o) is the Japanese incarnation of the Buddhist deity Acala, "The Immovable One," the destroyer of delusion and the protector of wisdom teachings. Fudo is the central deity of the Great Myo-o, the Japanese term for the Sanskrit Vidyaraja, a group of wrathful, warlike deities known in English as the Wisdom Kings. In contrast to the saintly images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, images of the Myo-o are ferocious and menacing; their threatening postures and contorted grimaces are expressions of the force with which they strive to dispell ignorance and strengthen the will of those who seek liberation. They are often depicted engulfed in flames, representing the purification of the mind by the burning away of all attachment and shadow. The Myo-o carry vicious weapons to protect practitioners and destroy corrupting influences. Fudo is armed with a rope for capturing and binding demons in his left hand, and a sword of wisdom for subduing demons and cutting through ignorance in his right. From his mouth protrude two fangs, one pointing down, representing his compassion and concern for suffering beings; and one pointing upward, representing his passion for wisdom in transcendence. Centered within, Fudo embodies the seed of awakening. Fudo expresses the ability to transform the heat of anger into the energies of excellence, an attribute that makes him immovable in his commitment to aiding all beings on the path to self-control and liberation. |

Like other commodities, "identity" in our culture is easy |
|
The idea of identity must be replaced with the idea of identification ... The idea of 'pure' identity is fascist. If you seek your identity then you have to separate yourself from others. Whereas replacing identity with identification will mean that your identity now is complex, is multiple, and you discover your human nature through the Other. —Elias Khoury |
