"Good does not become better by being exaggerated, but worse;
And a small evil becomes a big one through being disregarded and repressed.
The shadow is very much a part of human nature,
And it is only at night that no shadows exist."
-Carl Jung



Robin Artisson, 1867

"It seems so illogical today for people to embrace different models of spirituality,
Beyond the socially-accepted models that have become rote, and which have
Largely contributed to the condition of our world today. Never mistake it,
Or let yourself ignore it- in spirituality lies the true seeds of worldview.
So embrace a new logic. Realize that belief is not just a personal choice,
But a world-impacting reality."
-Robin Artisson
