"The straight line is godless and immoral.
The straight line is not a creative line,
it is a duplicating line, an imitating line.
In it, god and the human spirit are less
at home than the comfort-craving,
brainless, intoxicated
and uninformed masses."

Friedensreich Hundertwasser

" If we are to discover the truth about people, we must study them in the
context of their entire existence. If we base our judgements on a short
period of time on one human lifetime, for example we will understand
very little about the events that transpire, because this life is only one
link in a long chain.

If we want to understand what a person has lived in
one of his incarnations, we must not consider it in isolation but as part of
a continuum.

We must connect it to all his past incarnations over centuries
and millennia, understanding at the same time that his existence will carry
on into the future. We are always mistaken about the significance of the
present when we fail to consider it within the context of a continuum
extending from past to future, for nothing takes place by chance and without
cause."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

"The transformative potential of relationship is greater than you realise. Every important human bond activates many levels of the personality, and some of these levels are unconscious and unrecognised. All of us bring our own inner issues and preconceptions into a relationship with another person. A relationship involves not only the chemistry between the two personalities, but also our unconscious images of what it is to be a man or woman. The inner images of man and woman which we all carry are really pictures of our own needs, expectations and potentials. And each deep relationship we encounter in life could activate a quite different aspect of our inner world, presenting us with very different challenges and bringing very different responses out of us.

As the energy peaks send it outward where balance is needed. Instead of war, may there be union. Instead of sides, may there be center. Instead of them, may there be we. Close in silence, in balance, dark and light contained like flame and shadow in the burning heart of the world."

"Synchronicities give us glimpses into the deeper patterns of nature, indicating an organizing intelligence underlying the seeming chaos of daily events. They are a part of an order of psychic reality that we recognize, intuitively, when they occur to us, as profound glimpses or sudden revelations of the nature of mind: 'Synchronicities, epiphanies, peak and mystical experiences are all cases in which creativity breaks through the barriers of the self and allows awareness to flood through the whole domain of consciousness. It is the human mind operating, for a moment, in its true order and moving through orders of increasing subtlety, reaching past the source of mind and matter into creativity itself.' "

Daniel Pinchbeck, 2012 (subquote, David Peat)

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

"We need to be willing to let our intuition guide us, and then be willing to follow that guidance directly and fearlessly."

"There is only one journey. Going inside yourself."
~Rainer Maria Rilke~

I am too alone in the world, and not alone enough
to make every minute holy.
I am too tiny in this world, and not tiny enough
just to lie before you like a thing,
shrewd and secretive.
I want my own will, and I want to simply be with my will,
as it goes towards action,
and in the silent, sometimes hardly moving times
when something is coming near,
I want to be with those who know secret things,
or else alone.
I want to be a mirror for your whole body,
and I never want to be blind, or to be too old
to hold up your heavy and swaying picture.
I want to unfold.
I don't want to stay folded anywhere,
because where I am folded, there I am a lie.
And I want my grasp of things
true before you. I want to describe myself
like a painting that I looked at
closely for a long time,
like a saying that I finally understood,
like the pitcher I use every day,
like the face of my mother,
like a ship
that took me safely
through the wildest storm of all.


~Rainer Maria Rilke
