The Metaphorical Language Of Mythology
… its 'worlds' and 'gods' are levels of reference and symbolic entities
which are neither places nor individuals
but states of being realisable within you.

The True University
After all manner of professors have done their best for us,
the place we are to get knowledge is in books.
The true university of these days is a collection of books.

There
Go to the end of the path until you get to the gate.
Go through the gate and head straight out towards the horizon.
Keep going towards the horizon.
Sit down and have a rest every now and again.
But keep on going. Just keep on with it.
Keep on going as far as you can. That's how you get there.
— Michæl Leunig 'How To Get There'

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

Branches Everywhere
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life,
lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence
and leading the individual towards freedom.
— Albert Einstein

Passing
And all the things that we own are never ours alone,
no, they just pass through our hands in succession.

Look. You've got it all wrong.
You don't need to follow me.
You don't need to follow anybody!
You've got to think for yourselves.
