Shane Powers Sets Himself On Fire! How Could You Not Like this Guy!
Perchance with better voices after me
Shall prayer be made that Cyrrha may respond!

See Shane Powers: After the Fire….
I’ve had a week to soak this one up.
I’ll start by saying that I get myself into “situations” because of a narcissistic invincibility tic in my brain.
That bein said, THIS was NOT what I thought was gonna happen.
I was VERY lucky to not be REAL hurt.
That bein said, the entire experience was FASCINATING. I use that word because I wasn’t hurt bad, obviously.
Being on fire sucks. And everything gets narrowed down to one instinctual thought that I had no control over.
GET IT OFF, NOW.
I remember one thing. When the shirt was off my body and only around my head, there was a second of complete panic and heat, but no pain. But a firm thought of ”fuck, I’m in trouble”.
And then it was over.
I’ve watched those monks that set themselves on fire and sit there quietly and I just honestly don’t know how.
I do know that their spirituality practice is IMMENSE for them to fight the instinct to get it away, and to quietly die.
Something I would never want to achieve to be honest. That centered.
I’m definitely a “life-experience” junkie. And I do honestly believe that a man’s value is in his experience, and my friends and I have had an interesting laugh and talk about this.
But this was unsmart.
Moving on….
