Quote reblogged from A la recherche du temps perdu with 130 notes

They say that ‘time assuages,’—
Time never did assuage…

Time is a test of trouble,
But not a remedy.

Quote reblogged from Toward the Creative Nothing with 37 notes

To conceive of myself from the outside was my ruin — the ruin of my happiness. I saw myself as others see me, and I despised myself — not because I had character traits that made me worthy of contempt, but because I saw myself through the eyes of others, and felt the contempt they feel towards me. I experienced the humiliation of knowing myself.

To see clearly into ourselves and into how others see us! To stare into the face of that truth! And in the end the cry of Christ on Calvary, when he stared into the face of his truth: ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

My god, Pessoa.

Will you come with me to the mountains? It will hurt at first, until your feet are hardened. Reality is harsh to the feet of shadows. But will you come?

Buried deep within these ancient cultures are books of knowledge, sacred texts and practiced rituals that teach the chosen initiates mastery of advanced physics, utilizing the lost crystal-based technology once called the Arc of the Covenant. The students learned how to activate small-scale singularity, or mini-black hole power. In so doing, inspired by the secret wisdom of the Ancient Mystery Schools of Egypt , they dedicated their lives to attaining Apotheosis –the ultimate divine transformation of man into god! Originating from ancient Greek theology: apo – ‘to become’, theos – ‘god’.
