“Naked and unencumbered, I ran through the woods, a faun unleashed in the spirit of Nijinsky’s solitary ballet, The Afternoon of a Faun. The earth beneath my bare feet, the brush of leaves against my skin, the wind whispering secrets—all conspired to ignite a profound sense of freedom.”

“The search för love, joy, silence, truth, freedom or God is really a search for a union with the whole. We are brought up by a society, civilization and religion in such a way that we are given a false identity. We are all deceived by powerful people, who depend on lying and cheating. They have been cheating for centuries to be able to accumulate money and power, and they are afraid of allowing anybody to discover the truth. The whole business of the politicians, the priests, the establishment, the status quo, the vested interests, the education system, the media and the rich depend on people who are gullible and ready to be deceived. From the very childhood these people creates such situations that the child becomes aware that if he wants to survive in the world he has to compromise his truth. If the child says the truth he will be getting into trouble. By the time he is strong enough to be truthful hehas lost all sense of truth. The lies have gone so deep in him that they have become unconscious, so that it has become almost impossible to get rid of them. That is the whole process of a man searching for truth: to undo what the society has done to him. You have to be reborn, and you will have to become aware that the ego is a false identity imposed on you. You are not separate at all from the whole. You are part of the organic whole. And to know it brings great joy, because when you are not a separate entity, then how can anxiety and anguish exist? Then life becomes a joy. Then there is freedom without any fear.”

“The…the worst thing about this place,” she hissed slowly, forcing the words out, “isn’t that it treats people like chattel.” [...] “The worst part,” she whispered, breathing hard, “just the worst part, is that it tricks you.” [...] “It makes you think you’re a thing. It makes you resign yourself to becoming a crude good. It makes things out of people so thoroughly, they…they don’t even know that they’ve become things. Even after you’re free, you don’t even know how to be free! It changes your reality, and you don’t know how to change it back!” [...] “It’s a system,” she said. “A…device. Tevanne and the world it builds for us…it’s a machine.”
