Quote by Dan Flores

“Coyote power: surviving by one's intelligence and wits when others cannot; embracing existence in a mad, dancing, laughing, sympathetic expression of pure joy at evading the grimmest of fates; exulting in sheer aliveness; recognizing our shortcomings with rueful chagrin. These are the values Old Man America has embodied for thousands of years.”

“Een van de weinige ijzeren wetten van de geschiedenis is dat luxe zich vaak ontwikkelt tot noodzaak en dan weer nieuwe verplichtingen schept. Zodra mensen gewend raken aan een bepaalde luxe, gaan ze die voor lief nemen. Daarna gaan ze erop rekenen. Uiteindelijk bereiken ze het punt dat ze niet meer zonder kunnen.”

“Humans became a being of the mind. And, if this mind does not turn towards the truth, it remains attached to specific, individual realities or assumptions of multiple minds. The cutting of the cables connecting to the divine source (revelations) leads to the conclusion that mentally generated values only concern one’s self. As long as each individual searches for their own truth, many subjective truths that are different from the Divine Truth arise. This is the result of modern philosophy, which has created an insurmountable gap between Mind / Soul and Me / the Other.”

“Self-destruction seems to be an aberration peculiar to the human condition. Aren’t man’s miseries of his making, brought about by his own debilities? And yet, while lamenting over his shortcomings, he tends to blame it on life! But life seems to understand man more than he does it. Well, to preclude him from perishing in grief, life infuses in him hope for sustenance. Besides, by imparting an existential ethos in him to avert the cascade of tragedy--of human extinction--life seems to countervail itself to keep up its propagation.”
