The Mechanized Anxiety of Peeping Tom the Mystic

A working title for a book idea I am brewing inspired by the lectures of Alan Watts… we will see where this goes!



“ To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. ~ Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19–28


“ …Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win. ~ Stephen King
“ First come smiles, then comes lies. Last is gunfire.
We deal in lead.
When the shooting starts, we kill what moves.
It’s the Way of the Eld. We are of that an-tet, khef and ka, watch and warrant. Gunslingers, do ya. Roland Deschain in The Dark Tower Volume 5 : Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King

“ The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance…logic can be happily tossed out the window. The Dark Tower Volume 4 : Wizard and Glass by Stephen King

“ Fools are the only folk on the earth who can absolutely count on getting what they deserve. The Dark Tower Volume 4 : Wizard and Glass by Stephen King

“ The scariest, most terrifying thing that I fear?”
“Yes.”
“My Imagination.”
“I thought you were going to say “Fear, itself.”
“Then you have a small imagination. Roland Deschain to Eddie Dean in The Dark Tower Volume 4: Wizard and Glass by Stephen King

“ Time is a face on the water. The Dark Tower Volume 4 : Wizard and Glass by Stephen King
“

I do not aim with my hand;
He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand;
He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.

I do not kill with my gun;
He who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.

 The Dark Tower Volume 3 : The Wastelands by Stephen King
“ Control the things you can control, maggot. Let everything else take a flying fuck at you, and if you must go down, go down with your guns blazing. Cort, from The Dark Tower Volume 2 : The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King
