“Seven Major Things One Has to Learn: 1. Find joy in this life. Joy in each minute given to you. 2. Bring joy to others. Be compassionate. 3. Forgive. Always. Everyone and youself. 4. Repent. Exonerate yourself from sins and mistakes. 5. Laugh. In your face and soul. To others and to yourself. 6. Breathe. Freely, deeply, and with pleasure. 7. Sleep. In plenty and to your heart's content.”

“When we are awake we are looking through the wrong end of the telescope if transformational creativity is our goal. We take a myopic, hyperfocused, and narrow view that cannot capture the full informational cosmos on offer in the cerebrum. When awake, we see only a narrow set of all possible memory interrelationships. The opposite is true, however, when we enter the dream state and start looking through the other (correct) end of the memory-surveying telescope. Using that wide-angle dream lens, we can apprehend the full constellation of stored information and their diverse combinatorial possibilities, all in creative servitude.”
