The symptoms of fear have always been the same.

They were the same when men had to face wild beasts and they are the same today.

Blood drains away from the face and epidermis, to avoid blood loss. It's why people turn pale.

The intestines relax and release everything, so there will be no toxic matter left to contaminate the organism. It's why people "shit themselves".

The body initially refuses to move, so as not to provoke the predator by any sudden movement. It's why people freeze up.

 

Someone's spirit has no name.

It is pure truth and inhabits a particular body for a period of time, and will, one day, leave it.

God won't bother asking "What's your name?" when the soul arrives for judgement.

When Moses asked God for His name, God answered:

"I Am Who I Am."

 

If you find a watch in the desert you don't assume that it was spontaneously created.

You figure that somebody made it. That there is a watchmaker.

 

Women, when searching for a meaning to life or for the path of knowledge, always identify with one of four classic archetypes.

The Virgin is the one whose search springs from her complete independence, and everything she learns is the fruit of her ability to face challenges alone.

The Martyr finds her way to self-knowledge through pain, surrender and suffering.

The Saint finds her true reason for living in unconditional love and in her ability to give without asking anything in return.

Finally, the Witch justifies her existence by going in search of complete and limitless pleasure.

 

In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. 

And no two journeys along the same path are alike.

 

You don't need to climb a mountain to know that it's high

 

How can we be so arrogant? 

The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us.

We can't destroy it; 

if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. 

Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?

 

And now you ask in your heart,

‘How shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?’

Go to your fields and your gardens, 

and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower,

But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee.

For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life,

And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love,

And to both, bee and flower, 

the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
