The Soul Listens
*
The soul has been given its own ears to hear things the mind does not understand.
~ Rumi

My experience, like many of this generation, is that we no longer live in this external world with its superficial values and consider life worth living.
If you experience strange and out of the ordinary phenomena, and if your life in the outer reality has penetrated from time to time into the mysterious, religious, archetypal world, you are forced to accept the existence and power of these manifestations.
~ Irene Champernowne

Why are we worn out? Why do we, who start out so passionate, brave, noble, believing, become totally bankrupt by the age of thirty or thirty-five? Why is it that one is extinguished by consumption, another puts a bullet in his head, a third seeks oblivion in vodka, cards, a fourth, in order to stifle fear and anguish, cynically tramples underfoot the portrait of his pure, beautiful youth?
~ Anton Chekhov

This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
~ Hannah Arendt,
