Timeless Spirits Living Their Nonsense

From World Artist, Painters

But mind you, if you don’t live your nonsense you will never have lived at all, and the meaning of life is surely that it is lived, not avoided.

~Carl Jung

To say ‘the choice is yours’, is not as simplistic as you may have thought at first. Amid the plethora of voices imposing themselves on you at any moment, which one amid that cacophony is yours? Which voice rises from the depths of your soul, which from the complexes and cultural templates, and how can you know the difference?

~ James Hollis, Living an Examined Life

DEATH?? If we follow the signals of people just before they die, they never seem to die!!? They dream and even speak about next steps….. I have seen this so many times in my practice over the past 55 years, I must guess something about us does not die. Sooo, who are we really?? Just normal people, YES, and perhaps timeless spirits!??

— Arnold Mindel

“Dogma demands authority, rather than intelligent thought, as the source of opinion; it requires persecution of heretics and hostility to unbelievers; it asks of its disciples that they should inhibit natural kindliness in favor of systematic hatred.”
