“Liberation comes from acceptance, from seeing the lack for what it is. It is in our lack that we are whole. Our impending decay, our inevitable death, our humility before the vast incomprehensible expanse of the cosmos… this is what actually makes life bearable; this is what produces any semblance of subjective meaning.”
Tor Syvrud, Perennial Spring: A Guide to Mental Health and Personal Freedom

“The soul is nourished in simplicity, in gratitude, in holding things more loosely, in understanding things more clearly, in coming back to your Self. All roads lead back to you.”
Tor Syvrud, Perennial Spring: A Guide to Mental Health and Personal Freedom

“Live and let go. We hold on too tightly, forgetting that all will be lost. To live is not to stay in the shallow waters of our fears of ineptitude, of our insecurity. To live is to swim into the deep; alone, but not lonely; afraid, but with courage; content with all that is, marveling at the ambiguous, miraculous wonder of being.”
Tor Syvrud, Perennial Spring: A Guide to Mental Health and Personal Freedom

“It is when we strive for something to be certain of, something to give us a sense of security, an island to rest on in the sea of confusion that is life, it is when we value comfort over courage that we attach our identity to at best pseudo-truths, at worst, tyrannical lies.”
