'Every one of those unfortunates during the process of existence should constantly sense and be cognisant of the inevitability of his own death as well as of the death of everyone upon whom his eyes or attention rests.'

—G. I. Gurdjieff

'The heights of the spirit can only be climbed by passing through the portals of humility. You can only acquire right knowledge when you have learnt to esteem it. Man has certainly the right to turn his eyes to the light, but he must first acquire this right.'

—Rudolf Steiner

A journey through my inner being, through sadness and grief and pain and, mingled with them all, joy.

Evagrius Ponticus said: 'Happy is the man who thinks himself no better than dirt.' Despite my hatred and anger toward myself, I definitely think of myself as better than dirt. Indeed, that self-contempt feeds into my ego; why would dirt care about being better than what it is?

I am still learning to transmute my negative emotions into ἀγάπη, which is difficult, but I shall persevere, God willing.
