People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism, a charisma that can take out alive, young people from the traditional imprisonment....
The enlightened man cannot be enslaved - that is the difficulty - and he cannot be imprisoned.... Every genius who has known something of the inner is bound to be a little difficult to be absorbed; he is going to be an upsetting force. The masses don't want to be disturbed, even though they may be in misery; they are in misery, but they are accustomed to the misery. And anybody who is not miserable looks like a stranger.
The enlightened man is the greatest stranger in the world; he does not seem to belong to anybody. No organization confines him, no community, no society, no nation.

"God of ages, lord of time, mine is the right to be wrong" yeah its like we're in some kinda time machine travailing high speed through Dante's back yard, then into rods car for a nice trip through the twilight zone. What an adventure..{*O*}
I was just thinking of you, because we're working on the movie "Invisible Man Returns"- which starsone of your favorites- Vincent Price!!! I wish you were here to see all the cool old school Universal monster flicks we have-and, they are running my old shows on "Me-TV" every weeknight at 3 am! I'm happy to hear from you again-and hope everything is great where you are, and that you are happy! xxx ooo Rich/Sven
