"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
"We are questioning more than the philosophy behind our dependence upon limited and limiting systems. We question the power structures that have grown up around such systems."

"The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience."
"Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken."
"Ready comprehension is often a knee-jerk response and the most dangerous form of understanding. It blinks an opaque screen over your ability to learn. The judgmental precedents of law function that way, littering your path with dead ends. Be warned. Understand nothing. All comprehension is temporary."
"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities."
"All men seek to be enlightened. Religion is but the most ancient and honorable way in which men have striven to make sense out of God's universe. Scientists seek the lawfulness of events. It is the task of Religion to fit man into this lawfulness."
