“What we see is not always what exists.”

“We always have a tendency to see those things that do not exist and to be blind to the great lessons that are right there before our eyes.”

“We see the world in terms of what we would like to see happen, not what actually does.”

“We always try to interpret things in accordance with what we want and not as they are.”

“Sometimes, we need to be strangers to ourselves. Then the hidden light in our soul will illuminate what we need to see.”

“I think, knowing full well that we always try to interpret things in accordance with what we want ant as they are.”

“In magic - and in life - there is only the present moment, the now. You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between two points. 'Time' doesn't pass. We human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on the present; we're always thinking about what we did, about how we could have done it better, about the consequences of our actions, and about why we didn't act as we should have. Or else we think about the future, about what we're going to do tomorrow, what precautions we should take, what dangers await us around the next corner, how to avoid what we don't want and how to get what we have always dreamed of.”
