“If our religion is based on salvation, our chief emotions will be fear and trembling. If our religion is based on wonder, our chief emotion will be gratitude.”

"A man who is unconscious of himself acts in a blind, instinctive way, and is, in addition, fooled by all the illusions that arise when he sees everything that he is not conscious of in himself, coming to meet him from outside as projections upon his neighbour."
Carl Jung

Bow to confusion! It is the fertile ground from which great clarity blossoms in its own sweet time.
It is not confusing, when you bow.
Bow to anger! It contains the power of life itself. It creates universes. It rises suddenly to protect the organism. It values your unique voice.
There is no violence, when you bow.
Bow to sorrow. It keeps the heart soft. It grounds you in the awareness of impermanence and change.
It is not depressing, when you bow.
Bow to fear. It is trying to protect you from what you aren't yet ready to face. It guides you gently into the Unknown.
You are not afraid, when you bow.
- Jeff Foster

'Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.'

"I know we're not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don't know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don't care that we don't."
~ Dylan Thomas

""In the darkest times Darkest fears are heard And from the safest places Come the bravest words Some make a quiet life To keep this Scared old world at bay The dogs are howling on the street outside So they close the curtains, hope they go away And it's pressure from all sides Coming down around our ears Stuck in this room without a door Scratched away at the walls for years All we've got to show is the dust on the floor And here it comes, a new dark age I catch your eyes Before they fall to the ground We're running out of time, breath and steam We're running down They're burning witches Up on punishment hill Dying proof in the power of authority To exact it's will And we've broken our fingers Broken our faith Broken our hearts so many times They can't be broken anymore Scratched away at the walls for years All we've got to show is the dust on the floor And here it comes, a new dark age Here it comes ."

"A passion, a violent eruption of nationalism has come upon humankind, and that is as damaging to the social life on earth as is materialism for the life of thinking. So, in the same way that humanity is to work itself out of materialism in order to reach freedom and life in the spirit, it must work itself out of all nationalism, in any form, towards universal humanity. Without that, there can be no progress."
Rudolf Steiner #rudolfsteiner

Human beings do not stand in one world only but between two worlds and must distinguish themselves from their functions in both worlds. That is individuation. ~Carl Jung to Sabina Spielrein, Jan. 21, 1918.
"We are standing in between two worlds, a visible tangible world, and the other invisible world, which somehow has a peculiar quality of substantiality; but very subtle, a sort of matter that is not obvious and is not visible, that penetrates bodies and apparently exists outside of time and space. It is here and everywhere at the same time, and yet nowhere because it has no extension; it is a complete annihilation of space and time, which makes it a very different thing from our conception of an obvious world."
~C.G. Jung, Visions Seminars, Vol. 1 p. 206
"And those seen dancing were thought to be insane, by those who could not hear the music" ~Nietzsche.

“We have been silent witnesses of evil deeds; we have been drenched by many storms; we have learnt the arts of equivocation and pretence; experience has made us suspicious of others and kept us from being truthful and open; intolerable conflicts have worn us down and even made us cynical. Are we still of any use? What we shall need is not geniuses, or cynics, or misanthropes, or clever tacticians, but plain, honest, and straightforward men. Will our inward power of resistance be strong enough, and our honesty with ourselves remorseless enough, for us to find our way back to simplicity and straightforwardness?”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison
