“The illness that you have isn't the illness of a single body part, something you can think outside of. If you have a bad back you can say 'my back is killing me', and there will be a kind of separation between the pain and the self. The pain is something other. It attacks and annoys and even eats away at the self but it is still not the self. But with depression and anxiety the pain isn't something you think about because it is thought. You are not your back but you are your thoughts.”

The big players, the Vatican on one side; and the Jewish lobby on the other, play a daily game of chess with the destiny of all of humanity. Although, according to some, the game has already been won during the Second Vatican Council by the Zionists…”

“the illusion of speed is the belief that it saves time. it looks simple at first sight: finish something in two hours instead of three, gain an hour. it’s an abstract calculation, though, done as if each hour of the day were like an hour on the clock, absolutely equal.
but haste and speed accelerate time, which passes more quickly, and two hours of hurry shorten a day. every minute is torn apart by being segmented, stuffed to bursting. you can pile a mountain of things into an hour. days of slow walking are very long: they make you live longer, because you have allowed every hour, every minute, every second to breathe, to deepen, instead of filling them up by straining the joints. hurrying means doing several things at once, and quickly: this; then that; and then something else. when you hurry, time is filled to bursting, like a badly-arranged drawer in which you have stuffed different things without any attempt at order.”

“The illusion of strength has been and continues to be of major significance to me as a black woman. The one myth that I have had to endure my entire life is that of my supposed birthright to strength. Black women are supposed to be strong – caretakers, nurtures, healers of other people – any of the twelve dozen variations of Mammy. Emotional hardship is supposed to be built into the structure of our lives. It went along with the territory of being both black and female in a society that completely undervalues the lives of black people and regards all women as second-class citizens. It seemed that suffering, for a black woman, was part of the package.
Or so I thought.”

“The illusion of the relative world is an arena where the one awareness experiences itself as seemingly separate and individual beings, a space where the one experiences itself as the many. Amidst the relative world’s illusion, the one awareness experiences changing circumstances, the laws of cause and effect, and a sense of time and space. The one awareness observes conscious beings’ lives unfolding, with all of their storylines, perspectives, evolution and death – all of which is not real and not true with respect to the nature of the one awareness.”

“The illusion of the relative world is completely benign. Conscious beings, through their unique interpretation of events unfolding, create meaning and significance.
Any meaning given to the changing circumstances of the relative world comes from conscious beings by way of their particular points of view. And any narrative given to a changing set of circumstances is done so according to the orientation of a conscious being in a given moment.”

“The illusion of the seventh veil was the illusion that you could get somebody else to do it for you. To think for you. To hang on your cross.

“The illusion that mechanical progress means human improvement ... alienates us from our own being and our own reality. It is precisely because we are convinced that our life, as such, is better if we have a better car, a better TV set, better toothpaste, etc., that we condemn and destroy our own reality and the reality of our natural resources. Technology was made for man, not man for technology. In losing touch with being and thus with God, we have fallen into a senseless idolatry of production and consumption for their own sakes.”
