If you’re too terrified of life and love and the earth to fuck me, just lie in the dark and groove on being flesh, on feeling desire because another human being, a strange and unknown human being, is naked and open to you.
Mary Sativa, Acid Temple Ball [Amazon, Local Library]
Happiness needs to become a deliberate habit and not just the feeling when everything is perfect.
Edward De Bono, H+ A New Religion? How to Live Your Life Positively [Amazon, Local Library]
It was as I lay on the cellar floor, feeling the blood on my back become sticky and cold, that the angel first spoke to me. She filled the air with the scent of metal and surrounded me with a circle of blue flame, and I was frightened.
“Don’t be afraid,” she told me. “I have come to speak to you, and through you. At the command of the god-machine you shall hear my words and know them to be true.” Her voice was like the notes of a flute and their vibrations calmed my fear. And that was how I learned the secret history of the world.
Rick Chillot, “Voice of the Angel”, The God-Machine Anthology [Amazon, DriveThruFiction]
An unhealthy life of thought and feeling will not fail to obstruct the path to higher knowledge. Clear, calm thinking, with stability of feeling and emotion, form here the basis of all work. Nothing should be further removed from the student than an inclination toward a fantastical, excitable life, toward nervousness, exaggeration, and fanaticism.
Rudolf Steiner, How to Know Higher Worlds [Bookshop, Amazon, Publisher]
No one can give birth to a soundly constituted higher self whose life in thought and feeling, in the physical world, is not sound and healthy.
Rudolf Steiner, How to Know Higher Worlds [Bookshop, Amazon, Publisher]
Seeing the sunshine, feeling the sunshine; basking in its celestial warmth, time was of the essence.
Layden Robinson, Chameleon
