“The fact that astrology nevertheless yields valid results proves that it is not the apparent positions of the stars which work, but rather the times which are measured or determined by arbitrarily named stellar positions. Time thus proves to be a stream of energy filled with qualities and not, as our philosophy would have it, an abstract concept or precondition of knowledge.” PhilosophyFactsEnergyStarsResultsQualityPositionProveConceptsFilledDeterminedAbstractStreamsYieldNeverthelessAstrologyStellar Book:Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal Source: Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal
“Mark Tobey fills his canvases with elliptical, calligraphic lines, beautiful whirls that seem at first glance to be completely abstract and to come from nowhere at all except his own subjective musing. But I shall never forget how struck I was, on visiting Tobey's studio one day, to see strewn around books on astronomy and photographs of the Milky Way. I knew then that Tobey experiences the movement of the stars and solar constellations as the external pole of his encounter.” WayFirstsBookSeemsBeautifulStarsLinesForgetMovementOne DayMarkPhotographStudiosAstronomyAbstractEncountersNever ForgetGlancesSubjectiveVisitingConstellationsMusingsMilky Way Author:Rollo May
“I'm a bit of an abstract figure that people can project their fantasies on; it's pretty much what we all are, otherwise we wouldn't be stars, and people wouldn't be interested. But people project things on you that have nothing to do with what you really are, or they see a little something and then exaggerate it. And you can't really control that.” PeopleLittlesStarsBitsFantasyFiguresFameProjectsAbstract Author:Salma Hayek
