Culture Editor

Pascal is a well-respected local theologian, author & humourist best known as a cultural critic, and for his interfaith advocacy of contemplative meditation practice.

For five generations his family has lived on the misty Coast of British Columbia, making he and his brethren almost White Indians in the truest sense. He was born to the world on the remote Malcolm Island in 1976 and was educated there amid the placid remnants of the old Finnish utopian colony of Sointula.

His most current interests are: collective intelligence, the marriage of spiritual transcendence with surrealism, the possibility of biospheric sentience, the biophysics revolution and the ideological significance of popular cinema.

This is all I was able to learn about him. When I asked for specifics, he merely chuckled and gave me some story about having worked at a militant organic dairy-corporation called "Unwilling Goat's Milk." Their slogan, he claimed, was this: "WE JUST TAKE IT!"

He told me that these were printed on the side of every milk truck underneath a huge image of a very startled goat... its eyes bulging widely in sudden, terrible disbelief.

I hope he was joking.
