“Today, Marxism and fascism have been replaced by only slightly subtler but no less spiritually seductive ideologies such as materialism, hedonism, and narcissism. This latter triumvirate mobilizes the spirit of most moderns, but in the end betrays them by failing to connect them to what is healing or innately satisfying. Without a “vertical” sense of participation in divinity, humankind is condemned to a sterile, “horizontal” existence, circling its own absurdity and ending in its own annihilation.”
James Hollis, Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up

“But if the devil were to see you, he would kiss your eyes and repent”
Farouq Guwaidah

“Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story.”

“This is why Jung observed that the greatest burden the child must bear is the unlived life of the parent.”
