You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there's a way or path, it is someone else's path; each human being is a unique phenomenon. The idea is to find your own pathway to bliss.  (Joseph Campbell, Pathways to Bliss)

The entire universe is a great theatre of mirrors, a set of hieroglyphics to decipher; everything is a sign, everything harbors and manifests mystery.  (Antoine Faivre and Jacob Needleman, editors, Modern Esoteric Spirituality)

If the doors of perception were open/Everything would appear as it is in reality, Infinite. (Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception)

In investigating open channeling, we must try to leave behind the outdated notion that we are closed systems. The knowledge from several academic disciplines tells us that we are relatively open systems, some of us more so than others. Being an open system means that we are capable of mediating energies and information from outside our local systems in ways that Freud’s closed psychodynamic model of the psyche, for example, would not tolerate. By open channeling, we might say, we can drink from larger waters than our own.  (Jon Klimo, Channeling)
