If the unexamined life was not worth living, was the unlived life worth examining?
“If there's only one nation in the sky, shouldn't all passports be valid for it?”
― Life of Pi
― Life of Pi
“The ultimate test is always your own serenity. If you don’t have this when you start and maintain it while you’re working you’re likely to build our personal problems right into the machine.
The machine responds to your personality. It’s just that the personality that it responds to is your real personality, the one that genuinely feels and reasons and acts, rather than any false, blown up personality images your ego may conjure up. These false images are defaulted so rapidly and completely you’re bound to be very discouraged very soon if you’ve derived your gumption from ego rather than Quality.
The real machine you’re working on is a cycle called yourself. The machine that appears to be out there and the person that appears to be in here are not 2 separate things. They grow toward Quality or fall away from Quality together.”
