“To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.”

“Etymologically, integrity is oneness, integration is what makes something one. To be a thing, one thing, a unity, an entity; to be anything at all: in the metaphysical sense, that is what it means to have integrity. But we use the term for someone who lives up to his own standards. And that is because we think that living up to them is what makes him one, and so what makes him a person at all. It is the conceptions of ourselves that are most important to us that give rise to unconditional obligations. For to violate them is to lose your integrity and so your identity, and to no longer be who you are.”

— Christine M. Korsgaard, The Sources of Normativity

“Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.”

— Meša Selimović

“I see myself forever and ever as the ridiculous person, the lonely soul, the wanderer, the restless frustrated artist, the person in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable.”

“There are seven bodies of the Being. Each body has its “cerebrospinal” nervous system, its medulla and Kundalini. Each body is a complete organism. There are, therefore, seven bodies, seven medullae and seven Kundalinis. The ascension of each of the seven Kundalinis is slow and difficult. Each canyon or vertebra represents determined occult powers and this is why the conquest of each canyon undergoes terrible tests.”

“I don’t just want words. If that’s all you have for me, you’d better go.”

"The Temple of Wisdom has seven columns. These are the Seven Degrees of the Power of the Fire. There are seven serpents, two groups of three plus the coronation of the sublime seventh tongue of fire, which unites us with the One, with the Law, with the Father. The first serpent belongs to the physical body, the second to the Vital Body, the third to the Astral Body, the fourth to the Mental Body, the fifth to the Body of Willpower, the sixth to the Buddhic Body and the seventh to the Intimate. These are the seven steps of knowledge. These seven serpents cannot be lifted up simultaneously. Since the Magistery of Fire is very difficult, one must advance by degrees. Initially, it is necessary to raise the first serpent, then the second. Later on, the third can be raised, then the fourth, etc. The Yogi who does not practice with the Arcanum A.Z.F. is like a garden without water. Practice any Yoga, but work with the Great Arcanum in the Magistery of Fire."

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
