Light Does Not Come From Light, But

To Whatever Degree He May Have Desacralized The World, The Man Who Has Made His Choice In Favor Of A Profane Life Never Succeeds In Completely Doing Away With Religious Behavior.

Man Makes Himself, And He Only Makes Himself Completely In Proportion As He Desacrilizes Himself And The World. The Sacred Is The Prime Obstacle To His Freedom. He Will Become Himself Only When He Is Totally Demysticized. He Will Not Be Truly Free Until He Has Killed The Last God.

Water Symbolizes The Whole Of Potentiality - The Source Of All Possible Existence.

The Great Cosmic Illusion Is A Hierophany.... One Is Devoured By Time, Not Because One Lives In Time, But Because One Believes In Its Reality, And Therefore Forgets Or Despises Eternity.

Do What He Will, He [the Profane Man] Is An Inheritor. He Cannot Utterly Abolish His Past, Since He Himself Is A Product Of His Past. He Forms Himself By A Series Of Denials And Refusals, But He Continues To Be Haunted By The Realities That He Has Refused And Denied. To Acquire A World Of His Own, He Has Desacralized The World In Which His Ancestors Lived; But To Do So He Has Been Obliged To Adopt An Earlier Type Of Behavior, And That Behavior Is Still Emotionally Present In Him, In One Form Or Another, Ready To Be Reactualized In His Deepest Being.
