practicing the skill of exacting upon what it is that you enjoy is the path to great power and to godhood. refinement of personal aesthetic is the practice of those who have woken from the fog of mediocrity.

waking from the fog of mediocrity involves directly and independently facing your situation in the universe, with no god, church or clever baba coming between you and your perception.

beware of churches and spiritual bureaucracies, beware of any institution which does not expect you to end up utterly independent of it. many churches are powered by wisdom which is unfinished and narrow, but which appears wide to one whose own wisdom cannot perceive its peripheries. if being taught, always expect to surpass the teacher, this is the goal. if it is not the goal, then the teaching will clutter your path, and the teacher will have failed you.

never dispense with your heart's intuition in favour of clever ideas given you by a foreign agency or by your own connivings… employ courage and stay true to yourself, for once you see where your intuition would have taken you, you will lament having forsaken it.
