“Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way.”

Mystery is the number one conjurer of ideas.

There is an ocean of creativity within every human being.

Float with me in the world of ether.

The world is as you are.

I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.

I don’t like the word ironic. I like the word absurdity, and I don’t really understand the word ‘irony’ too much. The irony comes when you try to verbalize the absurd. When irony happens without words, it’s much more exalted.

Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see, one chance out between two worlds, fire walk with me!

If you keep your eye on the doughnut and do your work, that’s all you can control. You can’t control any of what’s out there, outside yourself.

I started Transcendental Meditation in 1973 and have not missed a single meditation ever since. Twice a day, every day. It has given me effortless access to unlimited reserves of energy, creativity and happiness deep within.

I like darkness and confusion and absurdity, but I like to know that there could be a little door that you could go out into a safe life area of happiness.

Negativity is the enemy of creativity.

There’s always fear of the unknown where there’s mystery.

Black has depth.. you can go into it.. And you start seeing what you’re afraid of. You start seeing what you love, and it becomes like a dream.

I look at the world and I see absurdity all around me. People do strange things constantly, to the point that, for the most part, we manage not to see it. That’s why I love coffee shops and public places – I mean, they’re all out there.

Individual peace is the unit of world peace.

Cats are a mysterious kind of folk.

Mystery is the essence of divinity

Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain.

The absolute yearning of one human body for another particular body and its indifference to substitutes is one of life’s major mysteries.

Love is an endless mystery, because there is no reasonable cause that could explain it.

The small wisdom is like water in a glass, clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.

Religions are founded by what mystics say when they come back; but what the mystics say is not the same as what happened to them.

In mystical traditions, it is one’s own readiness that makes experiences exoteric or esoteric.
