“In the lowest pools the Laminarias begin to appear, called variously the oarweeds, devil’s aprons, sea tangles, and kelps. The Laminarias belong to the brown algae, which flourish in the dimness of deep waters and polar seas. The horsetail kelp lives below the tidal zone with others of the group, but in deep pools also comes over the threshold, just above the line of the lowest tides. [...] To look into such a pool is to behold a dark forest, it’s foliage like the leaves of palm trees, the heavy stalks of the kelps also curiously like the trunks of palms. [...] One of these laminarian holdfasts is something like the roots of a forest tree, branching out, dividing, subdividing, in its very complexity a measure of the great seas that roar over this plant.”

“In the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen. The dogma of science is that the will cannot possibly affect external forces, and I think that’s just ridiculous. It’s as bad as the church. My viewpoint is the exact contrary of the scientific viewpoint. I believe that if you run into somebody in the street it’s for a reason.”
“In the magnificent and complex web of information in the Universe, everything affects everything else. It is “programmed” in ways that the objects of “physical” reality have some properties and features that affect tertiary qualities in a way that tertiary qualities recognize them with all their features. Depending on the level of tertiary qualities and dispersion, all the feelings, measures, weight of objects, pain, and anything we can imagine will be recognized and felt by tertiary qualities as a direct impact, effect, and consequence of secondary qualities in a literal sense. For instance, people would feel and be able to measure the weight of a physical object and all the rest and be able to feel pain, among other things, as if the whole energy and matter and all their properties and effects were real and not the “programmed” product of the immaterial Universal Source (Mind). Even after the “creation” of the world as we see it, it is still immaterial. Yet, we perceive its qualities and properties based on the “program,” which dictates our reaction to secondary (originally primary) qualities of the world.”

Founding friendship on commitment rather than "chemistry" often requires adjustment...At the end of the day, however, we have found that any loss of chemistry in relationships is more than made up for with gains in meaning.”

“In the mantra of shared hatred and placing the blame on Israel, our cowardice to face the barbarity of our heads of states was replaced with a divine purpose. Contemplating the manifestation of the eradication of hatred I often concluded, the entirety of the Middle East’s theocracies and dictatorships would be replaced by total anarchy. We would be left with nothing, as our brotherhood of hatred was the only bond known to us. Enculturated in the malarkey of that demagoguery, forces beyond our control and comprehension seem to deceive us into a less harmful and satisfactory logic as opposed to placing some blame on ourselves and thus, having to act to reverse that state of affairs.”
