More From C. S. Lewis

The cord-cutting generation hates cable tv 'cause they think they're corporations and they rip people off and they make you buy a bunch of channels you never watch in order to get the channels that you do watch. they've always said, "we want to be a la cart. we want to be able to cord-cut. we want to be able to watch what we want." so it's now evolving where if they only want to watch hbo they can but they have to pay for it. if they only want to watch cinemax, they can, but have to pay for it.

Goal setting is fine if you want to be the warrior archetype. these people are setting goals constantly and trying to get someplace else. they say, "if you don't know where you are going, then you won't know when you get there." when you get to a higher level of consciousness, though, when you get into a spiritual approach to life, you are not trying to get someplace else, because you never can get it done. you never are going to get there. instead, what you want to do is get to a place where you are at peace. you are connected to god.
Spiritual Warrior Goal
I’m not at peace anymore. i just want him like i used to in the old days. i want to be eating sandwiches with him. i want to be drinking with him in a bar. i’m tired and i don’t want anymore pain. i want maurice. i want ordinary corrupt human love. dear god, you know i want to want your pain, but i don’t want it now. take it away for a while and give it me another time.
Pain Drinking Tired
I want to travel on a train that smells like snowflakes. i want to sip in cafes that smell like comets. under the pressure of my step, i want the streets to emit the precise odor of a diamond necklace. i want the newspapers i read to smell like the violins left in pawnshops by weeping hobos on christmas eve. i want to carry luggage that reeks of the neurons in einstein's brain. i want a city's gases to smell like the golden belly hairs of the gods. and when i gaze at a televised picture of the moon, i want to detect, from a distance of 239,000 miles, the aroma of fresh mozzarella.

One of the experiences of prayer is that it seems that nothing happens. but when you start with it and look back over a long period of prayer, you suddenly realize that something has happened. what is most close, most intimate, most present, often cannot be experienced directly but only with a certain distance. when i think that i am only distracted, just wasting my time, something is happening too immediate for knowing, understanding, and experiencing. only in retrospect do i realize that something very important has taken place.
Prayer Distance Taken
From the distance you only see my light; come closer and you will know that i am you.
