More From Robert Jordan

If you cannot always elicit a straight answer from the unconscious brain, how can you access its knowledge? sometimes the trick is merely to probe what your gut is telling you. so the next time a friend laments that she cannot decide between two options, tell her the easiest way to solve her problem: flip a coin. she should specify which option belongs to heads and which to tails, and then let the coin fly. the important part is to assess her gut feeling after the coin lands. if she feels a subtle sense of relief at being "told" what to do by the coin, that's the right choice for her.

(from ketut liyer, the balinese healer)
Dirty Yoga Practice
The available supply of gold and silver being wholly inadequate to permit the issuance of coins of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into coin of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into coin in the volume required to serve the needs of the people, some other basis for the issue of currency must be developed, and some means other than that of convertibility into coin must be developed to prevent undue fluctuation in the value of paper currency or any other substitute for money intrinsic value that may come into use.

You don't know what a rough crowd is. if all i have to do is go make people laugh, that's nothing. let me tell you what a tough crowd is. a tough crowd is going to a morning service and you got six people there and you gotta pay your house payment. that's a tough crowd.

I wanted to write a play about double nature ... one that wouldn't be symbolic or metaphorical or any of that stuff. i just wanted to give a taste of what it feels like to be two-sided. it's a real thing, double nature. i think we're split in a much more devastating way than psychology can ever reveal. it's not so cute. not some little thing we can get over. it's something we've got to live with

We live in an atmosphere of shame. we are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinions, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins.
