The Power of Myth

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life.
I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking.
I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality,
so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”

“Sit in a room and read ... and read and read.... And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”

“I don't have to have faith, I have experience.”

“Computers are like Old Testament gods; 

lots of rules and no mercy.”
