Fear, Revelation And Creativity

Willem De Kooning

“Here in India nobody wants you to be free. Everybody wants you to be respectable, and the moment you are respectable you are finished. There can be no freedom for you. To find out what is freedom you must have tremendous energy, and that energy comes into being only when there is no fear.” — Krishnamurti

Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life…If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature…Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. — Jung

“Soul is the glue of the world and the connecting agent of existence. When we lose our way in this world it is the soul’s way of being in touch with the pulse of life that has been lost. For we are most lost and truly abandoned when we have lost touch with our own soul, with our own inward style and way of being in the world. By its nature soul is the mutable, multiple, changeable aspect of both the world and individual life.” — Michael Meade
