In this episode we contemplated a quote from Angelo DiLullo's, "Awake: It’s Your Turn", page 131, "Separation can never be found outside of thought, so we can't blame our perceptions of divisions, isolation, and thus struggle, on reality. It's not reality's fault we look at it through veils we constantly create with thoughts and preconceptions.".

In this episode we contemplated a quote from  Angelo DiLullo's, "Awake: It's Your Turn", page 136, "There is a side to us that has no intention. It is always at rest.", and a quote from Ramana Maharshi, "Let not your intellect become a slave to the mere sound and fury of controversy.

In this episode we contemplated a quote from Ramana Maharshi, "What does one gain, you may well ask, by giving up the wealth immense of worldly pleasure and seeking only mere Awareness?

In this episode a quote from Terence McKenna was contemplated, "Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.".
