I'm in my late teens and have a burning desire to travel! I do not exactly the financial means to 'see the world' nor the support of family - I understand you traveled extensively around the same age and with similar financial circumstance? Do you think it can be done in this day and age? To travel and attain experience, see things, hear new things, meet...

What would your advice be to someone who is in limbo, in a dead-end, rat-race, job and generally a lost soul?
I mean we all have to make a modest living, so although I get the whole 'we all have a choice' viewpoint, we can't all chuck in our job and do what we love, generally you 'can't' get in to that job or it doesn't really...

Anonymous asked: Dear Scabby, I'm quite pretty girl as I know and I get enough attention from men, though I think I could be getting more if I wasn't that shy. But being 20 years old I'm still a virgin. And now it turned into a problem, because I'm starting to feel really embarrassed about it. After spending some time with a man, I just give up all the relationships because every normal man...

I have some anger issues. I've realized it's because of resentment I have for things that have been done to me in the past. I want to "just let it go" because I know holding on to this anger isn't hurting anyone except me but I feel like if I do just let it go, they've gotten away with it. Like if I let it go, I'm saying what...

I 've been told by the tattoo parlor that this isn't a "steady" spot to do it,meaning that i will have to go over and re-do it more than once(free of charge) in order for it to stay. Is this true?

Would you say using drugs to explore other realms of consciousness, instead of doing it through meditation or other sort of manual ways, is in a way cheating? Would you consider drugs a short cut way to attain knowledge and vision or can different degrees of information be attained depending on the method used?

I am a 44 year old woman. I am attractive enough in that I exercise regularly, eat well and practice yoga religously. I have so much more sexual energy than I have ever had, enjoy sex more than I ever have, and want it all the time. Why is it that most men do not see women in their forties as sexually desirable.

What do you think should happen in Afghanistan and Iraq - Should we have gone out there with our allies in the first place, to divert any potential problems arising over in the west or do you think we should have just left well alone?

Should we now leave them to it or should 'the west' continue to attack the Taliban, now we have started?

In reference to the ego question, how would you say ego relates to self-awareness? Is self awareness an awareness of self or is it an awareness of self as compared to others?

When you write, is there a certain mind frame or sort of state of mind you have to be in? Do the words come naturally to you or do you ever feel like you're tormenting yourself trying to figure out the right words to express what you're wanting to? Words are so much pressure sometimes

One of my favorite books is "The Devil in love" (Le Diable Amoureux, 1772) by Jacques Cazotte. If you haven't read it yet,please do and make sure you read Cazotte's life as well. (He had some strong "gifts")

Isn't it annoying when an artist is great at what he does but sucks as a person? How can these two combine? Does he "save" his good side for his art? And does that make him a true Artist or just someone pretty good at his job? But then...can great art be "just a job"?
