Thin

Random quote of the day:

“There is in Celtic mythology the notion of ‘thin places’ in the universe, where the visible and invisible world come into their closest proximity. To seek such places is the vocation of the wise and the good, and those who find them find the clearest communication between the temporal and the eternal.”

—Peter J. Gomes, The Good Book

Random quote of the day:

“This land between the worlds is that inexplicable place we all recognize once we experience it, but its nuances slip away and shape-change if one tries to pin them down, except when we use poetry, music, dance …or story.”

—Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Wild

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“To be strong does not mean to sprout muscles and flex. It means meeting one’s own numinosity without fleeing, actively living with the wild nature in one’s own way. It means to be able to learn, to be able to stand what we know. It means to stand and live.”

—Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Shamanic

Random quote of the day:

“It is possible, therefore, that the encounter experience is a contemporary form of an ancient mystical knowledge or gnosis, that is, knowledge that comes from the reality of visionary or revelatory states, that are also taking place in an actual “space” of the soul, or subtle vehicle. Such experiences also make it imperative that we expand our dichotomous worldview to include once again these other levels of reality, that in fact are by no means new, but recover an ancient multidimensionality.”

Pendulum

Posted by PJ under deception, mind, quote of the day, the numinous, truth
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong. The numinosum is dangerous because it lures men to extremes, so that a modest truth is regarded as the truth and a minor mistake is equated with fatal error. Tout passe— yesterday’s truth is today’s deception, and yesterday’s false inference may be tomorrow’s revelation.”

—Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections
