“You are what your deepest desire is. As is your desire, so is your intention. As is your intention, so is your will. As is your will, so is your deed. As is your deed, so is your destiny.”

“Creating any type of art is an actual experience inasmuch as it affects the artist’s life. The experience of writing not only merges disparate parts of the mind, this expressive experience affects the evolution of the self. Writing is not about the process of creating a piece of literature; rather, writing is an artistic, transformative experience. All opposite forces in human nature are reconciled in the unity of consciousness, which is why the most fully developed human being strives to makes their unconsciousness thoughts, feelings, and prejudices conscious through acts of contemplation.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Others love you for their own sakes.
I love you for your own self,
And you, you flee from Me.

Dearly beloved!
You can not treat Me fairly, for if you approach Me,
It is because I have approached you.”
Henry Corbin, Alone with the Alone: Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn 'Arabi
