“Coastal people never really know what the ocean symbolizes to landlocked inland people--what a great distant dream it is, present but unseen in the deepest level of subconsciousness, and when they arrive at the ocean and the conscious images are compared with the subconscious dream there is a sense of defeat at having come so far to be stopped by a mystery that can never be fathomed. The source of it all.” PeopleKnowsDreamLevelsMysterySourceOceanConsciousDefeatSubconsciousUnseenCoastal Author:Robert M. Pirsig

“Freed from the sublimated form which was the very token of its irreconcilable dreams - a form which is the style, the language in which the story is told - sexuality turns into a vehicle for the bestsellers of oppression. ... This society turns everything it touches into a potential source of progress and of exploitation, of drudgery and satisfaction, of freedom and of oppression.

“A proper record shop reminds us why we got into this in the first place - a place to be reminded of old friends, still in their spots on the shelves, a source of unexpected magic and lucid memories - a place that reminds us that music is more than dumb file sharing and the management of dead data by faceless sociopathic corporations, but a storehouse of dreams, both possible and impossible.” FirstsStillsDreamMemoriesRecordsImpossibleMagicSourceMusic IsManagementSpotsDataDumbCorporationsShopsUnexpectedShelvesFilesOld FriendsPossible And ImpossibleFacelessFile Sharing Author:Max Richter

“Ancient traditions have long associated holy wells and springs as very special places of the Goddess or anima mundi: symbolic of the Great Mother and associated with birth, the feminine principle, the universal womb, the prima materia, the waters of fertility and refreshment and the fountain of life. The dreaming sites, as they are called, have also been associated with visions, healing, and other paranormal experiences. In ancient Greece, for example, there were more than three-hundred medical centers placed at water sources, where patients experienced healing.” LifeWellsLongDreamMotherThreeWaterHealingVisionPrinciplesSpecialExampleSourceBirthHolySpringHundredRainTraditionRiversUniversalPatientAncientMedicalParanormalFeminineGoddessSiteFountainWombGreeceSymbolicSpecial PlacesFertilityAncient GreeceRefreshmentsGreat Mother Author:Christopher McDowell

“Every time we choose action over ease or labor over rest, we develop an increasing level of self-worth, self-respect and self-confidence. In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives. It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source.” GivingFeelsHumansIdeasSelfDreamRealityActionValuesProcessLevelsOur LivesSourceActivityLaborRewardsFinalsValuableSelf ConfidenceConversionSelf WorthEaseAnalysisSelf RespectActualityPersonal Values Author:Jim Rohn

“Nothing is more dangerous than to stop working. It is a habit that can soon be lost, one that is easily neglected and hard to resume. A measure of day-dreaming is a good thing, like a drug prudently used ... But too much submerges and drowns. Woe to the intellectual worker who allows himself to lapse wholly from positive thinking into day-dreaming. He thinks he can easily change back, and tells himself that it is all one. He is wrong! To substitute day-dreaming for thought is to confuse poison with a source of nourishment.” ThinkingHardDreamUsedLostToo MuchDangerousPositive ThinkingSourceHabitDrugIntellectualGood ThingsWorkersPoisonWorking ItSubstitutesWoeNeglectedNourishmentResumesLapsesLost Ones Author:Victor Hugo
“Beware of giving over to mere dreaming when once God has spoken. Leave him to be the source of all your dreams and joys and delights, and go out and obey what He has said. If you are in love, you do not sit down and dream about the one you love all the time, you go and do something for him; and that is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Dreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him.” IfsGivingSaidDreamJoyJesusChristLove YouSourceJesus ChristDown AndMereDelightYour DreamsIndicationOne You Love Author:Oswald Chambers
