“Enlightenment doesn’t occur from sitting around visualizing images of light, but from integrating the darker aspects of the self into the conscious personality.” – Carl Jung
“Yoga is nothing but a total experience of human life, it is the science of the integral man.” – Jaques S. Masui
“my happiness did indeed arise from the same secret as the happiness in dreams; it arose from the freedom to experience everything imaginable simultaneously, to exchange outward and inward easily, to move Time and Space about like scenes in a theater” – Hermann Hesse
“A ‘we,’ not an ‘I,’ is the subject of the empathizing. Not through the feeling of oneness, but through empathizing, do we experience others. The feeling of oneness and the enrichment of our own experience become possible through empathy.” – Edith Stein
“The artist should be blind to ‘accepted’ or ‘unaccepted’ form, deaf to the precepts and demands of his time.
His eyes should be always directed toward his own inner life, and his ears turned to the voice of internal necessity.
Then he will size upon all permitted means, and just as easily upon all forbidden means.
This is the only way of giving expression to mystical necessity.
All means are moral if they are internally necessary.
All means are sinful if they did not spring from the source of internal necessity.” – Kandinsky
“When religion, science, and morality are shaken (the last by the mighty hand of Nietzsche), when the external supports threaten to collapse, then man’s gaze turns away from the external toward himself.” – Kandinsky
“Every artist who buries himself in the hidden inner treasures of his art is a man to be envied, a co-worker upon the spiritual pyramid that will one day reach to heaven” – Kandinsky
“the higher one ascends the spiritual triangle, the more obvious becomes this sharp-edged fear, this insecurity. First one finds here and there eyes capable of seeing for themselves, heads capable of putting two and two together. People with these gifts ask themselves, ‘If this wisdom of the day before yesterday has been overthrown by that of yesterday, and the latter by that of today, then could it not also be somehow possible that the wisdom of today could be supplanted by that of tomorrow?’ And the bravest of them reply, ‘It is within the bounds of possibility.'” – Kandinsky
“The most important thing I discovered a few days after turning 65 is that I can’t waste any more time doing things I don’t want to do.” – Jep Gambardella
