"There is nothing new to say about the world...
only a new ability to celebrate it."
Sam Keen
Apology for Wonder

"From that day onward every moment brought me its freshness as an ineffable gift,
so that I lived in an almost perpetual state of passionate wonder.
I became intoxicated with extreme rapidity,and went about in a sort of daze."
Andre Gide

Once we have made it through the 'dark night of the soul', then we are healed from the tortures of the mind's misconceptions.  This is when we are "...opened to the ecstasy of Creation", as Ida Mingle described it.

It is here that we find some respite, for we no longer care what society cares for, and no longer understand what others understand.  Here we are finished with the confines of the limited mind.  Here is where, if we are strong enough to be nothing,...here is where we are free. p. 159


"The wonderment of pristine cognitions
is the path of no-more-learning
when one has come to the end of one's labors..."
Lonchenpa
p. 162


"The Seer is lost in wonder, which is Peace."
Aleister Crowley
p 161


"...it came to me  that to love the mystery surrounding us
is the final and only sanction of human existence."
Hugh MacLennan
p. 163
