“When you consider your dreaming explorations, and
where you may be pulled within those journeys, be aware
that your daytime actions also bring consequences to alternate realms, and that there are beings who will actively waylay your voyaging awareness. To be waylaid is to waste
one’s life and one’s time.”
― Lujan Matus, The Art of Stalking Parallel Perception: The Living Tapestry of Lujan Matus

“The only path that has any meaning is one that resolves your being in the feeling that your heart is empowered by doing what is necessary for your existence.”
― Lujan Matus, Shadows in the Twilight: Conversations with a Shaman

“Labels such as ‘‘the culture wars,’’ ‘‘the science wars,’’ or ‘‘the Freud wars’’ are now widely used to refer to some of the disagreements that
plague contemporary intellectual life ... But I would like to register a gentle protest. Metaphors influence the mind in many unnoticed ways. The willingness to describe fierce disagreement in terms of the metaphors of war makes the very existence of real wars seem more natural, more inevitable,
more a part of the human condition. It also betrays us into an insensibility toward the very idea of war, so that we are less prone to be aware of how totally disgusting real wars really are.”
― Ian Hacking, The Social Construction of What?

“You can experience your dreams externally, but if your scripted responses get in the way, all there will be are branches and shadows in your life, nothing more.”
