You must reach that point from where you guide yourself
in such a way that the guiding lines become part of you."

"Follow your bliss. Find where it is and don't be afraid to follow it." ~ Joseph Campbell. The Self is Truth, Consciousness and Bliss
Refuting the mystical, metaphysical concept of the existence of individual, discrete selves (while bearing in a non existent mind, that there is no universally accepted theory as to what the word "existence" means)

Beautiful quote and painting. Is it your painting?
Hi Natalie.
I love that painting too. It was used on the cover of an edition of The Upanishads. The birds in the tree are symbolic, but I can't recall exactly what they represent.
Someone once asked me to do a version of it, as a commission, but this is the original.
Thank you for this reminder.
Hi Kathleen.
Yes, its often hard to connect with one's inner guru in our distracted, consumerist society.
