“Listen warrior, you will be faced with an illusion and you will not know that you are within an illusion. Your task is getting yourself out of it and to return home safely.”

[ “The Hermit” by Lucy Kay Plowe ]
The State is not higher than the individual, for he creates it; it is born out of his own pattern. And as most individuals are confused, envious, seeking power, violent, the State then is organized violence, organized power, organized confusion.
"Happiness is the state when nothing is missing. When nothing is missing, your mind shuts down and stops running into the past or future to regret something or to plan something."

@thoughtsRseeds This is the first Jung quote i don't like. It's, unfortunately, nonsense. Plenty of people die doing the wrong thing no matter how conscientiously they are working at trying to get out of the well.
Go get what you need and make friend and get help. No one is coming.
“Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal, for the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever....”

Death is the epitome of the truth that in each moment we are thrust into the unknown. Here all clinging to security is compelled to cease, and wherever the past is dropped away and safety abandoned, life is renewed. Death is the unknown in which all of us lived before birth.
