Re: "I Am the Universe"

I don't think its the same really. Genius and eccentricity and even borderline schizomania probably share similar facets with one another, but so does the human DNA share over 90% similarity with pigs.

I interpret his statement that he is the universe not in so much that he believes he's the center of everything or an all encompassing power. More that he has accepted his place in the universe and that he is merely a vessel to which good work must be done and ki, Universal energy, karma or whatever you want to call it, directs him as he wills.

Draw strength from stillness. Learn to act without acting. And never underestimate a samurai cat.
