			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a Cynic in the spirit of Diogenes and Crates, yet I find inspiration in the true teachings of Jesus of Galilee, who was himself a cross-breed Cynic/Gnostic teacher and enlightened reformer.

<p>If you dare describe me as anything, then I&#8217;m a Cynic influenced by Gnostic and Deist teachings.</p>

<p>A reservior of bountiful, endless energy awaits you by shutting off the world, digging deep within yourself, and tapping the brilliant spark of life.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t meditate on what lies within, it&#8217;s better to fall asleep in a comfortable slumber than interact with the flesh-eating zombies of this world. Think about it!</p>
