We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust,
swirling and dancing in the eddies and
whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal.
We have stopped for a moment to encounter
each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is
a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis
in eternity.

—By Paulo Coelho

Fortunately, some are born with spiritual
immune systems that sooner or later give
rejection to the illusory worldview grafted
upon them from birth through social
conditioning. They begin sensing that
something is amiss, and start looking
for answers. Inner knowledge and
anomalous outer experiences show
them a side of reality others are oblivious to,
and so begins the journey of awakening.
Each step of the journey is made by
following the heart instead of the crowd,
and by choosing knowledge over
veils of ignorance.

—By Henri Bergson
