I have spent eighty years trying to discover 
what was behind water and all that time
I was in it.  I have now passed through it,
and in the end I have come out to the place
where the horses run...
			Jung

I raised myself to be a singer and made myself

For that which is boundless in your abides in
the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning
mist, and whose windows are the songs and the
silences of the night.

But there is no competition
There is only the fight to recover what has been lost

But perhaps neither gain nor loss
For us, there is only the trying
	The rest is not our business

Not in that he leaves something behind him,
but that he works and enjoys and stirs others
to work and enjoyment, does man's importance lie.

Art, like religion . . . is only a preparation,
an initiation into the way of life.
The goal is liberation, freedom, which means
assuming greater responsibility.

For you, the world is weird because if you're
not bored with it, you're at odds with it.
For me, the world is weird because it is
stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable . . .

Whatever you're doing now may be your last act
on earth.  It may very well be your last battle.

The basic difference between an ordinary man and
a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a
challenge while an ordinary man takes everything
either as a blessing or as a curse.
			Don Juan

We're reaching a point in our evolution where it's
no longer a choice of what to do to earn a living,
but a choice of how to live.
We live with each other the best we can, sharing
what we have with our friends and getting close
to the earth - for us it's the lifestyle that is
sacred.
			Martin Carey

A revolution is taking place before our eyes -
the unexpected marriage of reason, at the summit
of its victories, and intuition.
For the really attentive observer the problems
facing contemporary intelligence are no longer
problems of progress.
The concept of progress has been dead for some
years now.
Today it is a question of a change of state,
of a transformation.
			Louis Pauwels (The Morning of the Magicians)
.sp 2
It is precisely the need of understanding himself
in terms of change and renewal which grips the
imagination of modern man.
			The Secret of the Golden Flower
.sp 2
You never enjoy the world aright, till the sea
itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed
with the heavens, and crowned with the stars;
and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of
the whole world.
