Join 📚 Claudia's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Claudia's read, .
I am no drunkard, but I am no saint either. A medicine man shouldn’t be a saint. He should experience and feel all the ups and downs, the despair and the joy, the magic and the reality, the courage and fear of his people. He should be able to sink as low as a bug or soar like an eagle. You have to be God and the devil, both of them. Being a good medicine man means being right in the midst of the turmoil, not shielding yourself from it. It means experiencing life in all its phases. It means not being afraid of cutting up and playing the fool now and then. That’s sacred too.

Alejandro Jodorowsky
We are at an important age of self-analysis. The art of our time cannot possibly rise an iota above the quality of our insight. It takes strength of a high order to get beyond the ordinary intelligent attitudes of experience. It is tempting accept life as a series of opportunities and anxieties, appetites and frustrations, and, having so accepted it, to canon making and seizing opportunities, whetting and appetites, avoiding disappointment This is the pattern of procedure.
