The spirit seeks the spirit just as matter seeks matter.

None of this has ever been or will ever be; all is an appearance, all is an illusion. Illusions are truth. All illusions are real. We say illusion, meaning that they're shadows.

Don't be discouraged. At times the path to truth is circuitous. The point is not to succeed, only to smile eternally.
