Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,
terrorising fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in
this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the
religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by
giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their
view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and
learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness;
chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.
Think for yourself.
Question authority.

The Enlightened Heart
“Center of all centers, core of cores
almond self enclosed and growing sweet
all this universe, to the farthest stars
and beyond them is your flesh, your fruit
Now you feel how nothing clings to you
Your vast shell reaches into endless space
and there the thick rich fluids, rise and flow
Illuminated in your infinite peace …”
-Rainer Maria Rilke
