“Quicksand years that whirl me I know not whither, Your schemes, politics, fail, lines give way, substances mock and elude me, Only the theme I sing, the great and strong-possess'd soul, eludes not, One's-self must never give way—that is the final substance— that out of all is sure, Out of politics, triumphs, battles, life, what at last finally remains? When shows break up what but One's-Self is sure?”

“In your meditations, call to mind the Absolute Reality. As you choose to see this Absolute Reality, so will you see the world. For, is not the Absolute, in its microcosmic aspect, a projection of your thoughts and imaginations of your very self? If you view the Absolute Reality as having some kind of mental infirmity, of whom are you speaking? Some contemporary Gnostics hold to the mythos that the Absolute Reality had some sort of 'emotional/mental breakdown' and because of this breakdown, evil entered the Universe in the form of Sophia’s 'fall' from the Pleroma, as well as the creation of the Demiurge and the Archons. Yet, if you believe that the Absolute Reality is Infinite, it must have integrity (the state of being whole and undivided). Consequently, the Absolute Reality cannot be divided against itself. By its very definition, it must be whole and undivided. This is why you need not fear, for you contain a spark of Divinity and that Divinity is One, and nothing can exist apart from that One. If a person or an Archon attacks you, they are attacking the entire Universe. Your task is to cultivate a realization of the integrity of the Universe.”

“Here is the beginning of integrity. A human being who deeply looks into himself or herself and asks: Who am I? What is the meaning of life? Why am I here? Why is anything here? Why are other people here? Where is here? and so forth, begins to find within himself or herself their authentic beliefs.”

“Lots of couples get stuck blaming and finger-pointing about topics and can feel like there’s no way out. The antidote to blame is personal accountability. Moving to a mindset of accountability means looking at and owning your contribution to the conflict (however small it may be).”

“You are her mother. Why did you not warn her, hold her like a rotting boat and tell her that men will not love her if she is covered in continents, if her teeth are small colonies, if her stomach is an island if her thighs are borders? What man wants to lie down and watch the world burn in his bedroom? Your daughter ’s face is a small riot, her hands are a civil war, a refugee camp behind each ear, a body littered with ugly things. But God, doesn’t she wear the world well?”
