"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human
mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of
dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of

revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
-- H.P. Lovecraft
"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything
would appear to man as it is, infinite."
-- William Blake
"To make biological survival possible, Mind at Large has to be funneled through
the reducing valve of the brain and nervous system. What comes out at the other
end is a measly trickle of the kind of consciousness which will help us to stay
alive on the surface of this Particular planet.
-- Aldous Huxley
