“Taking it all in all, Zen is emphatically a matter of personal experience; if anything can be called radically empirical, it is Zen. No amount of reading, no amount of teaching, no amount of contemplation will ever make one a Zen master. Life itself must be grasped in the midst of its flow; to stop it for examination and analysis is to kill it, leaving its cold corpse to be embraced.”

“Copying is slavery. The letter must never be followed, only the spirit is to be grasped.
Higher affirmations live in the spirit. And where is the spirit? Seek it in your everyday experience, and therein lies abundance of proof for all you need.”

“Do you hate?
The most powerful hate is not born out of ignorance or prejudice or a perceived threat. Those three are fear in disguise.
The fury that fuels my corps ignites from personal pain. Those whose lives were ravaged by greed, lust and control wield the crimson light.
The rings replace our damaged hearts. They beat for them. And they keep us alive only to hate.
-Atrocitus”
