My growing and learning beckons questions which crave answers. One particular area in my studies is man’s “spirituality.” When asking myself about the essence of “religion,” I also want to feel back to what “religion” was before the Great Forgetting (GF). I feel the animist-glow sometimes and then follow the linear evolution until the ability to think in abstract ways seemed also to form (or allow room) for “the gods/God,” etc. I trust I’m making sense to you: the concept I’m trying to convey.Categories: I Need Some Clarification|Tags: Animism, Christian, Religion|Read More
After reading all your books to date and listening to “The Book of the Damned” on audio I keep wondering what exactly you mean by “the gods”. I took it to mean that Leavers were, and still are living at the whim of nature and simply taking what comes free and not worrying about what is to come next. I assumed that you did not actually mean any god or gods in specific. Am I interpreting “The gods” correctly?Categories: I Need Some Clarification|Tags: Animism, Christian, Leavers & Takers, Quinn's Motivations, Religion|Read More
I’m surprised and perturbed that more people aren’t aware of ISHMAEL. Maybe you should consider hitting the promotional trail again? Why not look into the possibility of putting a copy in every hotel room in the world, like the Gideon Bible!Categories: I Have a Question On a Specific Subject|Tags: Ishmael, Religion, Writing and Publishing|Read More

What is my question to you? Simply whether you find any value in any FORM or KIND of techniques, practices, or exercises to edify your “spirit” (if I may say that), to connect to your creativity, wisdom, etc. that’s within you. Whether or not Leaver peoples do this, I do not know. But as a writer, thinker, and resident of civilization (Houston even), do you find time, room, and place for this? If too personal a question, do you shrug your shoulders at such things, finding it yet an irrelevant question?Categories: I Have a Question On a Specific Subject, I Need Some Clarification|Tags: Animism, Religion|Read More
I just watched the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks on TV for the 100th time since September 11th. I am angry, scared, frustrated, and finally, totally dispondant about the entire state of the world. What’s your reaction to this whole thing?Categories: I Have a Question On a Specific Subject, I Need Some Clarification, I'd Like Some Advice|Tags: Political Correctness, Quinn's Motivations, Religion|Read More
Is it possible that human culture evolves as do biological life-forms? It is well-known that some life-forms actually do overtake other life-forms so that there is an imbalance in a particular eco-system to the short-term favor of the aggressive life-form. So, isn”t human culture, which is, in a very real sense, our tribal “nest” also prone to these same short-term imbalances?Categories: Here's My Opinion; What's Yours?, I Have a Question On a Specific Subject|Tags: Anthropology, Evolution, Tribal|Read More
