The resonance within us cannot be willed; it happens. No amount of willing will make it happen. But resonance is the surest guide to finding our own right path. It constitutes an inner guide amid imposing images of the outer world and the constant traffic of the intrapsychic world. Resonance is the deep resounding of our truth, when we find it, or it finds us. ~ Creating a Life, p. 61
The Best of James Hollis
Logan Jones
Jon and I related both as conspiratorial music fans and as young men in search of something. Jon would serve me as a friend and mentor, someone who’d been exposed to and held information I felt would augment my creativity and deepen the truth seeking I was trying to make a part of my music. We also had that instant chemical connection that says, “I know you.” Jon was better educated than most of my homeboys. I was interested in doing my job better and being great. Not good . . . great. Whatever that took, I was in. Now, if you don’t have the raw talent, you can’t will yourself there. But if you have the talent, then will, ambition and the determination to expose yourself to new thoughts, counterargument, new influences, will strengthen and fortify your work, driving you closer to home.

Although you will not find it in his book, Barry told me that our effort to explain to Wright that Gray had told him the truth was one of only two occasions during the many months he spent with Wright that anyone dared disagree with or try to correct the Speaker when he erred. (Barry told me that Wright also raged and screamed at the other poor fool.) Barry’s book shows that Wright’s staff, after the departure of Raupe, was composed entirely of yes-men. His inability to admit error, and the exclusion of anyone who dared point out his errors, caused his mistakes to persist and grow.
