“Silence is all around us,
Listen and you can hear it loud enough
To wake the unconscious.
Penetrate my soul and you can move
To another dimension,
Silently you can slip through the veil.
Be what you are, the unborn being
That has been unnoticed following you
Every step of the way, to your own Awakening.”

“Vivemos cercados de palavras vãs, condenados a uma civilização que teme o silêncio. Fala-se muito para dizer bem pouco. Jornais, revistas, TV, outdoors, telefone, correio eletrônico - há demasiado palavrório. E sabemos todos que não se dá valor ao que se abusa.”
“Let people embrace their elected god or let them create one if they feel inspired. In case some want to share, it may be fun but if they don’t fancy the concept, they should be free to recant. (“Is Heaven a place in the sky?”)”
“When you are sitting in silence, you open the door to a deeper wisdom--the knowing of the ages. When you are walking, with the path to that wisdom already carved anew by your daily practice, you find that an idea, a thought, a notion, comes to you, and you have the solution to a problem that seemed insoluble.”

“When someone blamed Hecataeus the sophist because that, being invited to the public table, he had not spoken one word all supper-time, Archidamidas answered in his vindication 'He who knows how to speak, knows also when'.”
