“We artists can only go so far as the people can follow us. We are not alone, we are part of the system. We can take risks, but if you want to go to the peak of your consciousness, you may very well find yourself alone. Even if you know how to translate what you see, maybe only ten people will be able to understand what you tell. But, if you have faith in your vision, and retell it again and again, you will start noticing that, after a time, more people will begin to catch up with you.” PeopleIfsKnowsWantWellsMayAbleArtistConsciousnessVisionKnow HowRiskTenFinding YourselfHave FaithTranslateAgain And AgainNot AloneNoticing Author:Jean Giraud
“Take the happiest man, the one most envied by the world, and in nine cases out of ten his inmost consciousness is one of failure.

“Life is like a piece of string with a lot of knots tied in it. The knots are the karma you're born with from all your past lives, and the object of human life is to try and undo all those knots. That's what chanting and meditation in God consciousness can do. Otherwise you simply tie another ten knots each time you try to undo one knot. That's how karma works.” TryingHumansPastLife IsCan DoBornConsciousnessPiecesMeditationObjectsTenKarmaHuman LifeTiesStringsTiedOur PastYour PastLife Is LikeKnotsPast LifeChanting Author:George Harrison
“And that is how we are. By strength of will we cut off our inner intuitive knowledge from admitted consciousness.
