“Today, as we have seen, fascism and communism are discredited, but are replaced by a paraphilic consumer culture driven by fantasy, desperately in search of distractions and escalating sensations, and a fundamentalist culture wherein the rigors of a private journey are shunned in favor of an ideology that, at the expense of the paradoxes and complexities of truth, favors one-sided resolutions, black-and-white values, and a privileging of one's own complexes as the norm for others.” TodayValuesCultureBlackWhiteFantasyJourneyComplexesDrivenFavorsIdeologyCommunismConsumersComplexityParadoxResolutionExpensesSensationsDistractionFascismBlack And WhiteReplacedNormFundamentalistRigorOne SidedConsumer CultureEscalating Author:James Hollis

“When we believe we have all the answers, we are not open to mystery. To begin a mystical journey, you have to start with a sense of wonder, of not knowing where you are going or how you will travel. The initial phase of alchemy is called the nigredo-it's the phase of darkness, when it's "blacker than black." You feel this when you start something new-go off to college, start a new job, travel to a foreign land, or end a relationship that is not working.” FeelsBelieveEndsJobsBlackAnswersWonderDarknessKnowingMysteryJourneyLandCollegeSomething NewWhere You AreNot KnowingPhasesMysticalInitialsAlchemyNew JobSense Of WonderWhere You Are GoingForeign LandsOff To College Author:Mary Pope Osborne

“Nothing can be sadder or more profound than to see a thousand things for the first and last time. To journey is to be born and die each minute...All the elements of life are in constant flight from us, with darkness and clarity intermingled, the vision and the eclipse; we look and hasten, reaching out our hands to clutch; every happening is a bend in the road...and suddenly we have grown old. We have a sense of shock and gathering darkness; ahead is a black doorway; the life that bore us is a flagging horse, and a veiled stranger is waiting in the shadows to unharness us.” FirstsLooksHandsLastsDiesWaitingBlackBornVisionDarknessJourneyMinutesThousandElementsHappeningsShadowHorseConstantProfoundStrangerFlightClarityReachingShockReach OutBoresLast TimeGatheringDoorwaysEclipseClutchFirsts And LastsBends In The RoadElements Of Life Author:Victor Hugo
