Consider also:

  1. “I drew my own conclusion, which was that there is an entire category of experience that is not suited to intraspecies communication, so you are advised to keep it to yourself.”
  2. “This imaginative identification activates profound potentials of our being that would otherwise go unawakened as long as we continued to imagine ourselves as ordinary humans.”
  3. “I existed all right, but I existed only as a condition of constant desiring and yearning, because I knew nothing.”

  • “This beautiful boy would be bound to return her love. Cosmos and creation would not make sense otherwise. Of course, you and I know that Cosmos and creation make no sense at all and never have. Poor Echo was about to discover the truth of this.”
  • “I only desire to know the truth for the sake of the truth, and not for the purpose of obtaining any selfish advantage. Teach me these secrets, and I will forget my own self, and devote my life to benefit the universal brotherhood of humanity.”

  • “We seek truth in all human experience, principally because we want security; we want that certainty that we are not deceiving ourselves. The question is, how do we know when we have attained truth? To most of us, truth consists of the substantiation of our ideas.”
