"I think about myself as dust in the wind, and I’m going to be here just for a hot second, that’s about it. When you think about the vastness of the universe in which we dwell, we are dust in the wind, and yet we are here." – Carrie Mae Weems

In the process of becoming a person of gnosis, there are four “enemies” to be overcome. The first enemy is fear. Once fear is overcome, the sojourner must overcome the clarity that dawns, which in effect blinds them; overcoming clarity, they come into power and must overcome its ordeal. Then, in the end, the final enemy is old age, and that, too, must be overcome.

The better hope lies along a less negative path. Englightened minds are beginning to feel convinced of this, An acceptance of individual personality drives adjusted to essential principles of social harmony seems on the way. This envisages not a suppression or perversion of innate drives, but an acceptance of them under the condition that they be tempered within the requirements of social mutuality of interests. This necessitates a constant reappraisal of principles of social harmony, so that human behavior be no longer subjected to repressions dictated by the obsessive prejudices and standards of outworn eras. Much of the distortion and neurosis in contemporary personalities is directly attributable to the pressures of social standards unsuited to contemporary needs. Much legitimate, creative energy is driven underground by atmospheres of shame and guilt that invade the healthiest consciences because the vapors of ignorance and stale values are foisted upon them.
