“Spirit is a power that can’t be controlled. I don’t move it. The two ways to lose it are when I try to use it, and when I fear and fight against it.”
New starts now. We got to look at all the bad thoughts, fears and doubts, in order to pick out the good. When we see the worst in us then we can decide what we want to be like. Look at the mean and be willing to experience it. Then walk gently through it.

“Levels of life are without end, but if you rush through it, you miss it.”
It is not a matter of one or the other being good or bad. It is not a matter of like or dislike. It is not a prejudgment. I love all and all is me but if there is no me I love nothing. I love me first and that’s natural order. I know what I am, what was, is, and is before me.
“Come on real, I’m kind to kindness, I’m love to love, and a fool to a fool. That’s where I find my own glory in knowing I am just as good as bad, and I’m free to make up my own mind without worrying about the opinions of the past.”

How about the time she stole three or four hundred dollars worth of hashish, gave me a hundred dollars worth, and left right before a bunch of tough guys came in and asked me if I knew Susan and told me she ripped them off. Did she want to see if I would lie to save myself, or snitch and tell where she was? They said, “You know her,” and I lit the hash pipe and said, “Name sounds familiar, but there are a lot of women around this ranch.” One guy said, “That looks like our hash.” He looked me in the eye and said, “Is this our hash?” I said, “It is if you want to sit down and smoke

At least four women were then pregnant with Bobby’s children — Kitty, Gayle, Sandy, and Linda Kasabian — and he was in jail for murder.
Tex said later that he, Susan, and maybe a few others were “secretly taking speed.”
“You have to be with yourselves. I’m just an animal raised up in a cage. I’m mean, and I’m a killer when the need comes up. That’s not what I want. I see God in a drop of water, but others want him to come out of the sky with lightening bolts in both hands. They want fear. Fear locks the mind. To unlock it, you need a bigger fear, but without love, you got dogs eating dogs.”
