Sometimes, out of all this static and confusion, the Other assembles itself and takes form before our very eyes.

Barbara Ehrenreich, Living With a Wild God: A Nonbeliever’s Search for the Truth About Everything [Bookshop, Amazon, Publisher]

Hermetic quote Ehrenriech Living with a Wild God out of all this static

Consider also:

  1. Much of my rebelliousness starts with indifference to what is urgently important to others.
  2. “Somehow human authority is never enough; we must have special effects.”
  3. “The worst possible relationship between humans and some mystically potent being or beings, at least the worst that I can imagine, would be not symbiosis but parasitism.”
  4. “You can and should use logic and reason all you want. But it would be a great mistake to ignore the stray bit of data that doesn’t fit into your preconceived theories, that may even confound everything you thought you were sure of.”
  5. “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.”
