“y yo era uno de los mejores en el uso de esta herramienta demoníaca para traer el infierno a la tierra. Sent”
John Ramirez, FUERA DEL CALDERO DEL DIABLO

Paramahansa Yogananda
“The truths taught by Jesus went far beyond blind belief, which waxes and wanes under the influence of the paradoxical pronouncements of priest and cynic. Belief is an initial stage of spiritual progress necessary to receive the concept of God. But that concept has to be transposed into conviction, into experience. Belief is the precursor of conviction; one has to believe a thing in order to investigate equitably about it. But if one is satisfied only with belief, it becomes dogma—narrow-mindedness, a preclusion of truth and spiritual progress. What is necessary is to grow, in the soil of belief, the harvest of direct experience and contact of God. That indisputable realization, not mere belief, is what saves people.”
Paramahansa Yogananda, The Yoga of Jesus: Understanding the Hidden Teachings of the Gospels

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
“Never in all her life had she imagined that this idolized millinery could look, to those who paid for it, like the decorations of an insane monkey.”
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, If I Were a Man
