FYI 2014

To describe externals, you become a scientist. To describe experience, you become an artist. The old distinction between artists and scientists must vanish. Every time we teach a child correct usage of an external symbol, we must spend as much time teaching him how to fission and reassemble external grammar to communicate the internal.

Timothy F. Leary (1982) Changing My Mind, Among Others: Lifetime Writings


Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript of a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.

Mewlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī (1207-1273) Dīvān-e Kabīr
