Man is neurotic. It is not that just a few men are neurotic but humanity, itself, is neurotic. It is not a question of correction for a few persons; it is a question of curing humanity as such. Neurosis is the 'normal' condition of man because every man passes through a conditioning, a training. He is not allowed to be just whatever he is. He has to be molded into a particular pattern. That pattern creates neurosis. The society gives you a pattern, a mold. You are cultivated into a certain shape and form. Only a fragment of your being is allowed to be expressed, while the remaining part is repressed. This creates a division, a schizophrenia. And the part that is suppressed goes on fighting for expression. - from "Meditation - The Art of Ecstasy by Bhagwan Rajneesh

- Albert Einstein There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it. "All the world is music, you see.
There is music in atoms and music in suns.
That is the range of a scale that you can see and read.
There is music in emptiness and silence between.
Everything is singing all the time, all the time.
Singing and calling for what is missing.
Your science calls it gravity, but the gods call it dance.
They dance and fornicate; they listen and sing.
They call to distant flowers when buds ring out.
Because, you see, it is not only atoms and suns that vibrate in tune.
Rocks sing, as do water and air.
The molecules that build blood and men also build the wasp;
these too sing a minor note that travels throughout the stars."
Walter Moseley - From the novel "Blue Light"
