The Journey

It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that

it begins to have meaning."

-- P.D. Ouspensky

"All major mystical traditions have recognized that there is a

paradox at the heart of the journey of return to Origin. ...Put

simply, this is that we are already what we seek, and that what

we are looking for on the Path with such an intensity of striving

and passion and discipline is already within and around us at all

moments. The journey and all its different ordeals are all

emanations of the One Spirit that is manifesting everything in

all dimensions; every rung of the ladder we climb toward final

awareness is made of the divine stuff of awareness itself; Divine

Consciousness is at once creating and manifesting all things and

acting in and as all things in various states of self-disguise

throughout all the different levels and dimensions of the

universe."

-- Andrew Harvey

"After changes upon changes, we are more or less the same."

-- Paul Simon
