One of Tom's favorite quotes is:"The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out.
He will be wiser but less cocksure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things and to apply systematic reasoning to mystery in an attempt to comprehendâ¦.
That humanity at large will ever be able to dispense with artificial paradises seems very unlikely. Most men and women lead lives at the worst so painful, at the best so monotonous, poor and limited that the urge to escape, the longing to transcend themselves if only for a few moments, is and has always been one of the principal appetites of the soulâ¦.
Some people discover a reality of visionary beauty. To others is revealed the glory, the infinite value and meaningfulness of naked existence, of the given, unconceptualized event.

"I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everythig I cannot explain as a fraud." Carl Jung
We can will the perfect future into being by becoming microcosms of the perfect future, and no longer casting blame outward on institutions or hierarchies of responsibility and control, but by realizing the opportunities here, the responsibilities here, and the two may never be congruent again, and the salvation of your immortal soul may depend on what you do with the opportunity. - Terrence McKenna
"And those who were seen dancing were thought insane by those who could not hear the music." Friedrich Nietzsche
"All seeing is essentially perspective, and so is all knowing."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
Albert Einstein
"Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world."
Arthur Schopenhauer
"Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your eyes: you cannot see the truth. The very desire to find the truth disappears. But if all your belief systems are taken away from you, in the beginning certainly, it is bitter. I know the fear, the anxiety, that will surface immediately which you have been suppressing for millenia. But it is there, very alive, no God can destroy it. Only the search for truth and the experience of truth, NOT a belief is capable to heal all your wounds. - Osho".
