Awareness is primordial;
it is the original state, beginning-less, endless,
uncaused, unsupported, without parts,
without change.

Consciousness is on contact,
a reflection against a surface,

We do not have to visit a madhouse
to find disordered minds;
our planet is the mental institution of the universe.

You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living.
Then you read a book… or you take a trip…
and you discover that you are not living,
that you are hibernating.
The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness.
The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure.
That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness.
Monotony, boredom, death.
Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it.
They work in offices.
They drive a car.
They picnic with their families.
They raise children.
And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death.
Some never awaken.
― Anaïs Nin

The truth is always an abyss.
One must — as in a swimming pool — dare to dive
from the quivering springboard of trivial everyday experience
and sink into the depths, in order to later rise again
— laughing and fighting for breath --
to the now doubly illuminated surface of things.
― Franz Kafka

All I need is a sheet of paper
and something to write with, and then
I can turn the world upside down.

The real hopeless victims of mental illness
are to be found among those who appear to be most normal.
Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted
to our mode of existence,
because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives,
that they do not even struggle or suffer
or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.
They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word;
they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society.
Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society
is a measure of their mental sickness.
These millions of abnormally normal people,
living without fuss in a society to which,
if they were fully human beings,
they ought not to be adjusted.”
― Aldous Huxley

It is our suffering that brings us together.
It is not love.
Love does not obey the mind,
and turns to hate when forced.
The bond that binds us is beyond choice.
We are brothers.
We are brothers in what we share.
In pain, which each of us must suffer alone,
in hunger, in poverty, in hope,
we know our brotherhood.
We know it, because we have had to learn it.
We know that there is no help for us but from one another,
that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand.
And the hand that you reach out is empty,
as mine is.
You have nothing.
You possess nothing.
You own nothing.
You are free.
All you have is what you are,
and what you give.
― Ursula K. Le Guin

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.
Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow.
Let reality be reality.

Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude
and try to sing out with the pain it causes you.
and try to sing out with the pain it causes you.
For those who are near you are far away...
and this shows that the space around
you is beginning to grow vast....
be happy about your growth,
in which of course you can't take anyone with you,
and be gentle with those who stay behind;

when you yourself change
again and again;

as far as you wish
without having to step outside it.”
