The image can only be studied through the image, by dreaming images as they gather in reverie.

Rabbi AkivaRead
Knowledge of the Absolute depends upon no book, nor upon anything; it is absolute in itself. No amount of study will give this knowledge; is not theory, it is realization. Cleanse the dust from the mirror, purify your own mind, and in a flash you know that you are Brahman.

It is a monumental achievement.
Ronald ReaganRead
