Which Side Are You On?
“Peaceful coexistence on this beautiful planet we share cannot be achieved by warfare. It cannot be achieved by power. And it cannot be achieved by ignoring each others’ suffering. We cannot kill our way to peace, oppress others to create peace, or close our eyes to achieve peace. Peace is the only path to peace. Our humanity is indelibly linked to our treatment of one another.”
― L.R. Knost

“The forest is always large, immense, great and mysterious. No one ever gains power over the forest, but the forest possesses the power to change lives and alter destinies.”

“What persons do I hate? What groups or factions do I fight against? Whatever they are, they are a part of me because I am bound to that which I hate as surely as I am bound to that which I love, and psychologically the important thing is where one’s libido is lodged, not whether one is for or against a given thing. So if one pursues such reflections diligently, one will gradually collect one’s scattered psyche from the outer world, like the dismembered body of Osiris, and such work promotes the coniunctio.”
~Edward Edinger, Mysterium Lectures, Pages 322–324.
