...The very men who claimed mental superiority because they were free
from superstitions and divine disillusionment were themselves victims of
their own sophism, and while they thought themselves crowned with
enlightenment, it was naught but the Phrygian caps of their prejudices
toward the material state.

--Jehu, the Kinsman Redeemer

The physical manifestation of the spiritual force is not the spiritual
force at all, only a bland deception. If you only focus on what you can
see directly, than you chase after only the representation and not the
object desired. If a bird is flying through the sky at noontime, casting
a shadow on the ground below him, and a man comes along, and in the hope
of catching the bird chases after its shadow, it is evident that he will
never catch it, for when he does reach it, he will find that there is
nothing there at all, only the shadow of what it was he desired. So it
is with the spiritual!

--Onan, Lord of the Past
