About***All photographs must be placed behind an LJ cut and must have some legitimate purpose to illustrate text that is on topic. The topic is pronoia. What is pronoia?
Pronoia is the sneaking suspicion that the universe is conspiring to shower you with blessings. Symptoms include sudden attacks of optimism and outbreaks of goodwill. This community is dedicated to the development of pronoia and to the practice of pronoiac sorcery.
Pronoiac sorcery is the daily cultivation of playfully altered states of awareness for the purpose of accomplishing practical miracles. According to Rob Brezsny, pronoiac sorcery begins with your hunger for ingenious beauty and ever-fresh truth. It thrives and ripens as you discover that everything you behold is bursting with conscious intelligence.
This is powerful stuff and yet it's just too easy to let it become an abstract concept and forget to really live it. We are all here to remind each other to shed self-defeating propaganda and to revel in our hopes and dreams. Let's not just live it, let's live it up!

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. And you may quote me. - Elwood P. Dowd
"Pity the educated cynics who refuse to enjoy the fun, choosing instead to remain faithful to their numb anguish. Mourn for the humorless devotees who refuse to join in the juicy unpredictable game so that they might feed their spiritual greed, pretzeled up motionless on prayer mats with the torment of grave meditations. Have compassion for the imagination-dead heroes who cling so tightly to the masks they've forged for themselves that they're dead to the delight of molting." - Rob Brezsny
