"You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness. "

"In the end
these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?"

We’re going to be okay, aren’t we Papa?
Yes. We are.
And nothing bad is going to happen to us.
That’s right.
Because we’re carrying the fire.
Yes. Because we’re carrying the fire.

"And they are dancing,
the board floor slamming under the jackboots
and the fiddlers grinning hideously
over their canted pieces.
Towering over them all
is the judge and he is naked
dancing,
his small feet lively and quick
and now in doubletime and
bowing to the ladies,
huge and pale and hairless,
like an enormous infant.
He never sleeps,
he says.
He says he’ll never die.
He bows to the fiddlers
sashays backwards
throws back his head
and laughs deep in his throat
and he is a great favorite, the judge.
He wafts his hat and the
lunar dome of his skull passes palely
under the lamps and he swings about and
takes possession of one of the fiddles
and he pirouettes and makes a pass
two passes,
dancing
and
fiddling all at once.
His feet are light and nimble.
He never sleeps.
He says
that he will never die.
He dances in light and in shadow
and he is a great favorite.
He never sleeps,
the judge.
He is dancing, dancing.
He says that he will never die."

"You’re all geniuses and you’re all beautiful. You don’t need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace. Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you’ll get it as soon as you like."
- John Lennon (via createplaypause)
"Man’s destiny was to conquer and rule the world, and this is what he’s done.. almost. He hasn’t quite made it, and it looks as though this may be his undoing. The problem is that man’s conquest of the world has itself devastated the world. And in spite of all the mastery we’ve attained, we don’t have enough mastery to stop devastating the world.. or to repair the devastation we’ve already wrought."
