The Mighty Nyiragongo Volcano.

Green Man: This is the mighty Nyiragongo volcano's lava lake in Congo, Central Africa. It has one of the largest lava lakes in the world that roars and hisses night and day, as if a great dragon lives within its depths. I am mesmerized and lured toward volcanoes like a bug being pulled toward a bright light. There is even a voice deep within my primal brain that sees the glow of a volcano's lava lake, and says, "Jump!!" To that end, if I had a terminal illness with only one week left to live, I would end that week by leaping into the heart of the lava pool at Nyiragongo. What a spectacular, quick and fitting way to return to the heart of Mother Earth upon death!!

I'm always delighted and impressed when I visit your blog. Yes, a jump into the volcano would be a lovely way to go.

There's a recent article in Scientific American Mind in which you might be interested. The author contends that the cognitive disinhibition associated with schitzotypal disorders enhances creativity. He annoys me when he assumes that the increased information flow of this type of mind only makes us "think" we experience things we really don't. The truth is, it helps us know things he doesn't know and doesn't believe in. But, the article helped me understand my own hypersensitivity to spiritual and material stimulae and its relationship with my art. Contact me through my blog if you'd like a copy of the article.
Best wishes,
Puny
