“Magicians are manipulating your consciousness. They are showing you something impossible. They're getting you to construct a narrative, which simply isn't true. So that means they know how to make you aware of certain things and blind to other things.

“Here, when I say I never want to be without you, somewhere else I am saying I never want to be without you again.

Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.”
