“. . . the whole point is to to create, but to understand.
The only reason Man’s here is to learn what God is, and then deal with that knowledge.”
A wizard exists in all of us.
This wizard sees and knows everything
The wizard is beyond opposite of light and dark, good and evil, pleasure and pain.
Everything the wizard sees has its roots in the unseen world.
The wizard possesses the secret of immortality.
The wizard is the teacher of alchemy.
Alchemy is transformation.
Through alchemy you begin the quest for perfection.
You are the world. When you transform yourself, the world you live in will also be transformed.
The goals of the quest—heroism, hope, grace, and love—are the inheritance of the timeless.
To summon a wizard’s help, you must be strong in truth, not stubborn in judgement.
Immortality can be lived in the midst of mortality.
Time and the timeless are not opposites.
Because it embraces everything, the timeless has no opposite.
At the level of the ego, we struggle to solve our problems.
Spirit sees that struggle is the problem.
The wizard is aware of the battle between ego and spirit,
but he realizes that both are immortal and cannot die.
Every aspect of yourself is immortal, even the parts you judge most harshly.
The reality you experience is a mirror image of your expectations.
(from Outside the Dog Museum by Jonathan Carroll)
