“We have arrived here in this illusory place. Now we just have to figure out how to deal with this grand illusion of our life.”

“In a sense, all life is a prank. We are not who we appear to be and no one else is as they appear to be. So how can we handle that little mystery? This whole business about God – what’s that all about? No one knows anything about that either. So we have people who are not as they appear to be, telling us about something that they have no idea about. We really are on our own here to try and figure it out. That’s the real adventure of it. Some people are anxious to tell you what they know and have experienced. I’d rather hear from some people who admit to what they don’t know and haven’t experienced. They’re much more interesting.”

“Once we step out of the picture which we have made ourselves part of, if only temporarily, our life changes.”

“So how do we do this trip, knowing it’s all an illusion? How do we do that? We can’t do that. We can only hang on for the ride.”

“Maybe, just maybe, when this is all over and we meet on the other side we’ll just compare notes on how we did and have a big laugh.”

“It’s when we limit our choices that we begin to hone in on what we really want to do. This gives us direction – but what if we choose to do something that doesn’t turn out the way we thought we were directed? Then we deal with that until the next choice. In a sense, every day we get to redefine ourselves. Of course, that definition gets to be redefined in its time. And that’s how we keep evolving.”

“Sometimes it’s better to not know about something. We don’t always have to fill our head with a lot of stuff we don’t need to know – for now anyway.”
