“I thought that I was praying for external peace and quiet, when it was internal tranquillity that I craved.”

“I knew only that my thoughts and external events were inextricably linked.”

“There was no turning back. I had created the situation, and having come this far I wanted freedom, I wanted liberation, I wanted deep orgasms and most of all I wanted to meet God.”

“The die cast, I really was living out of a suitcase, feeling as though I had fallen off the grid.”

“I had never climbed a mountain, but standing at the bottom, looking at the summit, thinking, “How the fuck am I going to make it?” was pointless.”

“It was a new experience, the “I” watching “my” mind freaking out!”

“I did not know that I was deep in the throes of fighting my shadow; my shadow being reflected in all those things around me, distracting me from the true problem, and blinding me to myself.”
