“You're beginning a whole new life ... and for your own good and for the good of your future employers, it is better that you leave your old attachments behind. The more completely you make this transition, the better. ‘To serve and gladly’ is our motto, and the very essence of our activity. This should be your only concern from now on. It is a great honour to be called to enter the ranks of the Ancient and Noble Order of the Mugwash, and vitally important that you understand, appreciate and above all wholeheartedly embrace this ethos; and develop and nourish the precious Gift that makes all this possible. Don't let us down.” GiftGiftedGiftsTelepathyEspPsi Book:The Gift Source: The Gift
“All the better Mugwash have the Gift. Well, Gifts to be precise. The first Gift – which I'm told is called prescience – is the ability to anticipate another's needs. The second is the ability to read another's thoughts: to know what they're thinking and serve them accordingly. And then there is the Gift possessed by the best Mugwash a master could desire: the ability to step into another's shoes, as it were, and feel how another is feeling. That I'm told, is empathy.” GiftGiftedGiftsTelepathyEspPsi Book:The Gift Source: The Gift

“Why should anything exist at all, you might ask? Existence didn't just spring out of nothing whatsoever. Even if there was a time of No-Thingness, then there must have been an inherent or precursory realm of possibility; a possibility that something -- anything -- such as the imaginal, might exist. Why are we here at all? Because this was a possibility, and we are the living proof that there must have been such a possibility. So, you might say that existence, in one form or another, was even more than more likely, it was inevitable.” ExistencePossibilityNothingnessImaginal Author:Etienne de L'Amour

“I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. The lunatics have taken over the asylum. Masked goons are dragging people from the street and throwing them into concentration camps. And there's no end to the cruelty. “Things are worse than bad. They're crazy [paraphrasing Howard Beale in the 1976 film ‘Network’].” ResistanceFascismGlobal CrisisResistance MovementSocietal CollapseSocietal Dysfunction Author:Etienne de L'Amour
