PHILOSOPHY

"Connais-toi toi-même et tu connaitras l'Univers et les Dieux" Socrate

"Le vrai trésor, celui qui met fin à notre misère et à notre malheur, n'est jamais très loin, il n'est pas nécessaire de le chercher dans un pays lointain, il git enfoui dans les lieux les plus intimes de notre propre foyer, c'est-à-dire en nous" Heinrich Zimmer

"Celui qui conquiert autrui est fort, celui qui se conquiert lui-même est invincible"
"He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still”
Lao Tseu

Tu es aimable, tu es belle, tu es une merveilleuse créature de l'Univers€
"You are loveable, you are beautiful, you are a beautiful creature of the Universe"
symbolique du miroir, extrait d'un livre de sorcellerie

"Il n'y a réellement ni beau style, ni beau dessin, ni belle couleur: il n'y a qu'une seule beauté, celle de la vérité qui se révèle" AR

"Il n'y a pas d'initiation possible sans une agonie, une mort, une réurrection rituelles"
"No initiation is possible without the ritual of an agony, a death and a resurrection€
Mircea Elliade

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin" BNW

"On mesure l'intelligence d'un individu à la quantité d'incertitudes qu'il est capable de supporter" EK

"Du holde Kunst, in wieviel grauen Stunden,
Wo mich des Lebens wilder Kreis umstrickt,
Hast du mein Herz zu warmer Lieb entzuenden,
Hast mich in eine bessere Welt entrueckt! "FvS

"Le sérieux, ce symptôme évident d'une mauvaise digestion" FN

"NO YOGA, NO PEACE! Know yoga, know peace..."

"I bow to and deeply honor who you are.
In truth you are love, peace and beauty itself.
When you remember who you are and I remember who I am,
We are one.
Namasté"
