“Most of us suffer from the pangs of self-doubt; yet, the courage to tread forward must originate from within. I seek to articulate a definitive purpose behind my effort and then resolve to devote all interpersonal resources to achieve established goals. I need to be mindful of personal talents and imperfections, boldly face all fears, bravely straddle the unknown, and unerringly establish high-minded objectives. I must exhibit determination, resilience, and courage to give my best effort and never slacken a resolute pace. A seeker is obligated to be truthful; I cannot engage in self-deception if I hope to develop the integrity of my spirit. Comparable to all worthwhile tests of character, a person seeking growth must ultimately conquer his or her insecurities and discover a means to muster flagging personal fortitude. Can I throttle back from the black lagoon or did I travel too far as a chainless soul up the river of insanity to turn back now? Can I reintegrate myself in a normative world where self-preservation and reasonableness reigns? Can I conduct a Black Ops reconnaissance operation by reconfiguring the organs of a dismembered self with reawakened astuteness, and exhibit the determined stoicism indicative of my ancestor lineage?”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“In order to discover life-affirming answers, a seeker must ask the correct questions. Can I frame the penetrating questions that will open a diffident person’s mind to investigate how to live out the remainder of his life?”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

Giannis Delimitsos
“The idea that we are the persistent seekers of the truth and nothing but the truth, and that this truth can save us or set us free is one of the strongest and most pervasive fallacies in our species through the millenia.”
Giannis Delimitsos

H.M. Forester
“All this attending educational lectures and reading is greatly tempting, of course, and a great many would-be students spend their whole lives in such study. But in reality they have reached an unseen or unobserved impasse, and are merely milling around base camp and congratulating themselves and their fellow wayfarers on having achieved such dizzying heights.”
H.M. Forester, The Imaginal Veil

Swami Dhyan Giten
“Man lives in the darkness of unconsciousness. The dawn has not come. It is still night. The majority of people live in the darkness of unconsciousness, while a small minority are attracted to the light of consciousness.
The light of consciousness has opened for a few people, but it is so few people that it seems fictitious for the majority of people.
They cannot understand, because a man can only understand that which has happened to him.
The goal for the seeker of truth is the search for the light of consciousness. The darkness and unconsciousness from the inside has to be dropped. And when your life is full of light it's a totally different life. From the outside everything seems to be the same, but from the inside nothing is the same anymore.”
Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart
