  • Growing Old

    “How delightful it is to be no less than thirty three years old. I am not one of these people who objects to birthdays on general principles and when they are as pleasant as this last one I think I really wouldn’t mind having one twice a year! Among other things it has helped me to rediscover the pleasure of artichokes!”

    “Some secrets are not meant to be revealed. An oath taken three thousand years ago may be as binding now as it was then. An ethereally beautiful woman at one of our workshops described her life on the planet Venus. On being asked her Venusian name she said, ‘I’m not supposed to tell.’”

    “Mink-coat thinking is the old wishcraft technique of presuming that if you visualize yourself wearing a luxurious mink coat, you will eventually acquire that coveted object, regardless of whether you deserve it, or of whether fur coats are better fitted to animals than humans. Nor is the question faced as to whether such a coat will actually make you happier, more productive, more creative. One might, for example fulfill the wish by being reborn as a mink - but who wants to go that route?”

    Marcia Moore from her unpublished manuscript on reincarnation, tentatively titled Memories.

Every time you have trouble falling asleep imagine yourself in a beautiful garden which you are setting in order. Each night seek the path to this hidden sanctuary of repose and work at some chosen task such as planting flowers…putting in a bench or pool…Eventually, this deliberately constructed thought-form may become a permanent mental fixture with a vital life of its own,
