"Well, actually, Im a psychic being, and you know, we dont concern ourselves with being born; we concern ourselves with being eternal; we deal with the spirit."

"I probably do what Im controlled to do. Something … made all this: some Impossibility without a name. Thats what the world is controlled by: an Impossibility. Its controlled by someone they call "God" who never had a beginning and naturally had no end. And in a sense He doesnt exist, because of the standards of reality, because everybody knows something cant just happen — but if there is a God, thats what happened; just happened to be, and without ever having not been — they got to face that."

"Behold the pre-prophetic symbols of the planes of Never. Behold, behold this thisness! This isness."

"When the person Myth meets the person Reality The spirit of the impossible-strange appears In dark disguise It is always there where nothing inverts itself and becomes something Whatever is the imperative need"

"Music is not material. Music is Spiritual."

"Out of nowhere they come like embers suddenly aflame With living reach Spiral infinity Being. Yes. Out of nowhere they come from the no point."

"It takes a motion to notion and it takes a notion to motion."

"In some far off place Many light years in space I’ll wait for you. Where human feet have never trod, Where human eyes have never seen. Ill build a world of abstract dreams And wait for you."

"Proper evaluations of words and letters in their phonetic and associated sense can bring the people of earth to the clear light of pure cosmic wisdom."

"Somewhere in the other side of nowhere is a place in space beyond time where the Gods of mythology dwell. … These gods dwell in their mythocracies as opposed to your theocracies, democracies, and monocracies. They dwell in a magic world. These Gods can even offer you immortality."

"I think of myself as a complete mystery. To myself."

"I see them as they are to is And not the seeming isness of the was."
