The imagination is fertile. From seeds of the imagination, much is made manifest.

I think [imagination] very austere element of Buddhism is also linked with a strong antinatalist strain in the philosophy. The Buddha was enlightened when he destroyed the house of body and soul into which he would otherwise have been forever reborn. This is clearly antinatalism.

When I think back on it, I have a sense of relaxation, as if in the seventies no one had to try to be anyone other than who they were. I'm sure that's not really true, but that's how I remember it, and I suppose it might be relatively true.

I associate my childhood with two things, mainly: the North Devon countryside and a sense of connection to another world.

I don't believe in sexual love.

I suppose I could say that to be interested in innocence already suggests a remove from innocence, perhaps a longing for something that is lost.

I suppose what I can say is that I do feel I have a natural spiritual sensibility.
