A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
There are two sources for change within you. One is the cunningness of your ego that pushes you into making efforts to become something other than you are meant to be—so that it can give itself a boost and glorify itself. The other is the wisdom of nature. Thanks to this wisdom, you become aware, you understand it. That is all you do, leaving the type of change—the manner, the speed, the time of change—to reality and to nature. Your ego is a great technician, but it cannot be creative.

The recovery of some form of initiation is essential to the culture. The United States has undergone an unmistakable decline since 1950, and I believe that if we do not find a third road besides the two mentioned here, the decline will continue. We have the grandiose road, taken by junk-bond dealers, high rollers, and the owners of private jets; and we have the depressed road, taken by some long-term alcoholics, single mothers below the poverty line, crack addicts, and fatherless men.
