"one should strive with great effort to be the EMBODIMENT of their journeys...not the ORATOR. that to talk about your visions is to 'give them away' , losing the potential of allowing the lessons to absorb into the very DNA of the traveler. 'talk is cheap' " (by antrocles: A YEAR OF JUNGLE STEWING... - DMT - Quality experience reports - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus ). My admiration goes to you. :roll:

I thought this was a quote, but I can't find it anywhere. Maybe I just thought it myself, lol.

"We are each entitled to our own neuroses"

I liked it since virtually everyone has some phobia, irrational problem, things that stress them out etc that doesn't make sense to other people. I don't consider myself particularly neurotic or anything, but to me the quote means "everyone has their own shit going on, including me. So try not to judge others too harshly when they act seemingly irrationally".

Oh, I love this quote.

I can recall someone the Nexus (I think) saying "there's no right way to practise". That was a very inspiring piece of wisdom for the place I was psychologically at the time I read it. Alas, I can't remember who it was that said it.

That the nature of thought itself is delusion and one should master and let go of ones thoughts, particularly of self identity.

"Whatever happens in the world is real. What you think should happen is not real. So you're not disappointed by the world, you are disappointed by your own projections."

David Foster Wallace:

If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It's been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.

Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they're evil or sinful, it's that they're unconscious. They are default settings.

"There's never been a man so ignorant you couldn't learn something from him". I have no idea who said that
