“[Idries Shah advised that if] the question is asked repeatedly and clearly: will it be healed or won’t it be? Can it be healed, or can’t it be? – a vibration is set up which is the right code for the computer. Thus the computer will become aware that the skin is damaged and will intervene to repair – since this is its function. Provided always that communication with it is coded in the correct way. (The Steganographer 6)”
Oliver Hoare

Arthur Koestler
“The moment of truth, the sudden emergence of a new insight, is an act of intuition. Such intuitions give the appearance of miraculous flashes, or short-circuits of reasoning. In fact they may be likened to an immersed chain, of which only the beginning and the end are visible above the surface of consciousness. The dive vanishes at one end of the chain and comes up at the other end, guided by invisible links.”
Arthur Koestler, The Act of Creation (Arkana) Paperback – June 5, 1990

“Although human mobility has increased, human assumptions have not kept pace. Human knowledge may have increased but human assumptions have remained fairly constant.”
Idries Shah, The Commanding Self

“It is there to make you think. It is there to make you try and fit it into some scheme of things. It is there because it does not mean anything at all. It is there to show you that you can't relate everything to everything else just because you have a rupee's worth of reasoning faculty, one of the lowest faculties.' Pg 99 Among the Dervishesby Omar Burke.”
Omar Burke

“Many of us have experienced the difficulty in successfully 'giving up' doing something; too often, trying to give it up seems only to keep one focused on the forbidden object or enterprise — enhancing the desire rather than taming it…”
Robert Ornstein, God 4.0: On the Nature of Higher Consciousness and the Experience Called “God”
