“The Word of God gives peace and does not cause violence. It gives power and does not cause panic. It gives strength and does not make people weak. It gives hope and does not disappoint. The Word builds faith and does not make one afraid.”

“All these dreams of helplessness, distress, of forking paths, of being locked up miles from anywhere, all these confused, indescribable episodes, are expressions of the fact that one is coming close to a secret zone, an impassable line - not at all, as the conventional interpretation has it, the bar of repression, but something more subtle of which we are the repressed.”

“Whilst they are hardly to be seen in real life these days, the most intense passions continue to figure in our dreams. Are these then a reserve of fresh and timeless energy, running beneath the stages of life (and perhaps reaching beyond the mishap that is death)? Or is this freshness not merely the hallucination of a jaded desire? In other words: are there two lines to our lives, the one of a non biological, immemorial youth, which we experience in dreams, and the other an organic line of life and death, of duration and of remembrance, with which we identify our pale and mortal existence? Could there be two fundamental sequences and no relation between them? Or is the first simply the projection of the second, its hallucinatory discourse, as, deep down, psychoanalysis argues? I am for the first hypothesis: we have two existences, each of which is wholly original and independent of the other (it is not a case of a psychological splitting). Neither existence can be used to interpret the other - which is why psychoanalysis is futile.”

“I do not consider myself by any means an expert on the art of creative visualization. I am a student of the subject, and the more I study and use creative visualization myself, the more I discover how vast and deep its potential is…truly it is as infinite, creative as your own imagination.”

“Therefore to sum up, when we only visualize the positive, we neglect the occult fact that eventually the universe will pull the pendulum in the opposite direction, thereby taking away our goal, unless we do something to counteract the opposing force! The solution is not to wage war upon the Opposing Force, not to exorcise it, banish it, or resist it, but to encounter it, and to find a way to integrate it into ourselves.”
