When you meet the transcendent your first reaction will be to turn and run.

To the universe you are blind, deaf and dumb.

To resist the universe is to pursue suffering.

Civilization is the triumph of narrative over reality.

Not all knowledge can be articulated in a language comprehensible to awareness.

Our eyes can only produce a crude depiction of a person standing right before us.

No matter how wealthy one becomes you can never have more than two eyes and one tongue.

The madness of the prosperous is to be blind to the miracle of existence.

Meat decays whereas a vibration is eternal.

Ambition in art is akin to ambition in prayer.

The entire history of the universe is inside you.

You are nothing but a face painted on a balloon.

If I remove all of your senses and wipe your memory clean what remains?

When illusion is vanquished all of creation is revealed to consist of only three objects: you, an other, and the relationship between. When that relationship becomes pure love the universe is complete.

We evolved from apes? Okay. We evolved from dust?!? Now I am impressed!

A human being is a temporary coalition over which consciousness maintains an illusion of control.

Prayer without illusion is meditation.

Jonah in the Whale

Jonah fled the city of Nineveh because he was too frightened / burdened by the task of calling out the city's wickedness. As part of his punishment for not following his conscious (or the word of God) he was swallowed up by a 'great fish' for three days and nights. After realizing his errors in avoiding his moral obligation to preach the fish spat him out so he could return to Nineveh. I've depicted here an alternative version of the story that includes a key detail not found in the Bible: When Jonah was in the whale he was not alone. There were actually many people inside who had arrived before him. People who saw immorality all around them, knew it was wrong to remain silent, but still never spoke up. So why does the story revolve around Jonah alone? Because he was the one who managed to escape the whale by realizing the sin of his silence in the face of evil.
