  1. The utilization of subconscious imagery as a catalyst for behavioral and spiritual evolution is a cornerstone of modern self-actualization.

    I am pleased to share an impactful new article by Kenneth Gray: "How Dreams Can Guide Your Personal Transformation." For those interested in personal development and the narrative power of the mind, this is an excellent resource.

  2. A quotation from Philip K. Dick

    The authentic human being is one of us who instinctively knows what he should not do and, in addition, will balk at doing it. He will refuse to do it, even if this brings down dread consequences to him and those whom he loves. This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people. They say “no” to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance. Their deeds may be small, and almost always unnoticed, unmarked by history. Their names are not remembered, nor did these authentic humans expect their names to be remembered. I see their authenticity in an odd way: not in their willingness to perform great heroic deeds, but in their quiet refusals to commit villainies. In essence, they cannot be compelled to be what they are not.

    Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) American writer
    Speech (1978) “How To Build A Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later”

  3. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    Perhaps that’s what we all had to do — think out for ourselves what we could believe and how we could live by it. And so I came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
    Essay (1951-12), “This I Believe: Growth that Starts from Thinking,” on Edward R. Murrow, This I Believe, CBS Radio

  4. A quotation from C. S. Lewis

    But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.

    C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) English writer, literary scholar, lay theologian [Clive Staples Lewis]
    An Experiment in Criticism, Epilogue (1961)

  6. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    If we are indeed here to perfect and complete our own natures, and grow larger, stronger, and more sympathetic against some nobler career in the future, we had all best bestir ourselves to the utmost while we have the time. To equip a dull, respectable person with wings would be but to make a parody of an angel.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1878-03), “Crabbed Age and Youth,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 38

  7. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    If you don’t turn your life into a story, you just become a part of someone else’s story.

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
    Discworld No. 28, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, ch. 8 [Malicia] (2008)

  9. A quotation from Thoreau, Henry David:

    «
    Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still. Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.
