Is the system going to flatten you out and deny you your humanity, or are you going to be able to make use of the system to the attainment of human purposes?

"The place to find is within yourself."

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

The only question in life is whether or not you are going to answer a hearty 'YES!' to your adventure.

"Myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human manifestation...."

"A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. A goal is what specifically you intend to make happen. Dreams and goals should be just out of your present reach but not out of sight. Dreams and goals are coming attractions in your life."

I have found that you have only to take that one step toward the gods, and they will then take ten steps toward you. That step, the heroic first step of the journey, is out of, or over the edge of, your boundaries, and it often must be taken before you know that you will.

The only question in life is whether or not you are going to answer a hearty 'YES!' to your adventure.

"Being alive is the meaning"
