Summary

This quote suggests that books have the power to challenge the established norms and expand our imagination, just like dreams do. By distributing ideas and concepts in a bold and unrestricted manner, books have the ability to rejuvenate and inspire us. They allow us to explore different perspectives, question the status quo, and ultimately help us regain a sense of agency and empowerment. Through the liberating nature of books, we are prompted to think critically and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery.

One of the major dangers of being alone in February is the tendency to dwell on past relationships. Whether you're daydreaming about that 'one that got away,' or you're recalling the fairy tale date you went on last Valentine's Day, romanticizing the past isn't helpful - nor accurate.

The world' is man's experience as it appears to, and is moulded by, his ego. It is that less abundant life, which is lived according to the dictates of the insulated self. It is nature denatured by the distorting spectacles of our appetites and revulsions. It is the finite divorced from the Eternal. It is multiplicity in isolation from its non-dual Ground. It is time apprehended as one damned thing after another. It is a system of verbal categories taking the place of the fathomlessly beautiful and mysterious particulars which constitute reality. It is a notion labelled 'God'. It is the Universe equated with the words of our utilitarian vocabulary.
