“Dimension stone, flint, rubble, burnt or unburnt brick,—use them as you find them. For it is not every neighborhood or particular locality that can have a wall built of burnt brick like that at Babylon, where there was plenty of asphalt to take the place of lime and sand, and yet possibly each may be provided with materials of equal usefulness so that out of them a faultless wall may be built to last forever.

“Everyone has an urge to create. Its expression may flow through many channels: through writing, art or music, through the inventiveness of work or in any number of ways unique to all of us, whether it be cooking, gardening or the art of social discourse. The point is to honour the urge. To do so is healing for ourselves and for others; not to do so deadens our bodies and our spirits.”

“Happiness is that new relationship and a breath of fresh air that wants nothing more, but to see you flourish and be at peace with your life.”

“Young children cannot possibly understand the motives of adults. It means little to a young child that the parent feels love for him if that parent keeps disappearing at almost any time. The child experiences a sense of abandonment, a subliminal knowledge that there are things in the world much more important to the parent than he, the child, that he is not worthy of the parent’s attention. He begins to feel, at first unconsciously, that there must be something wrong with him. He also begins to work too hard to get his needs met: demanding contact, acting out or trying to please the parent to gain approval and attention.”

“The music of yesterday, they were really poems that made you respect, admire and caress your soul with each letter of each melody. Nothing to do with the vulgarity and aggressiveness of today.”

“Así que ¿De que vamos a hablar hoy? Vamos hablar de mis sueños infantiles y de como los he alcanzado — He sido muy afortunado en ese sentido; de como creo que soy capaz de ayudar en los sueños de los demás, y en cierto modo, en las lecciones aprendidas: Soy un profesor — there should be some lessons learned — and how you can use the stuff you hear today to enable your dreams or enable the dreams of others. And as you get older you may find that enabling-the-dreams-of-others thing is even more fun.”

“Most people in the west have trouble figuring out or understanding what is attachment, you know. What do you mean there's a difference in love and attachment, how do i know the two? How can i tell them apart? Well, it's excactly what you just described. What attachment is, is ego projecting onto other people, so you don't even see that person, you don't even see the actuallity of who or what the person is. You think you see who you think they are, you see who you feel that they are, so if you think you love that person, you don't actually love that person because you can't even see them, you don't see them as infinite consciousness, you see them as wathever you're projecting on them. Therefore if you can't even see the other person, much less love them. You have to get trought the attachment before you can expierence true love and you can't get trought the attachment until you start to see that it is like a projective quality of ego.”

“The purpose of love is the creation of a safe space, in which we can be ourselves, with independence and freedom. It requires motivation and dedication to comply and commit.”
