Book Recommendations

"We have a remarkable ability for forgetfulness, ingenious methods for not being present, a delicious capacity for oblivion. It's not difficult for us to forget the shocks of childhood, our nature, our destiny, the divine, and all those tasks for which our soul actually came into this world. As Antonio Machado once asked: 'What have you done
With the Garden that was entrusted to you?'"

The Maiden King

"Jung remarked that all successful requests to the psyche involve deals. The psyche likes to make deals. If part of you, for example, is emmensely lazy and doesn't want to do any work, a flat-out New Year's resolution won't do any good. The whole thing will go better if you say to the lazy part, 'You let me work for an hour, then I'll let you be a slob for an hour -- deal?'"

Iron John

"The only safe nations are those who systematically inoculate themselves by a free press and a vocal prophetic minority against the intoxication of 'divine destinies' and sanctified paranoia." Sam Keen

"How could there be so much evil in the world? Knowing humanity, I wonder why there isn't more of it." Woody Allen

"When you are in REM sleep, you are operating without the anchors of logic or episodic memory, and you're lacking neurochemicals needed for focusing attention, so all things considered, it smells like the brain wants you to think outside the box, to brainstorm." From R. Stickgold in:

The Mind at Night: The New Science of How and Why We Dream

"It is only as many of the tenets of the Judeo-Christian theologies are seen in the light of their political origins and the subsequent absorption of those tenets into secular life understood, that as women we will be able to view ourselves... not as permanent helpers but as doers, not as decorative and convenient assistants to men but as responsible and competent individuals in our own right. The image of Eve is not our image of woman."
