„Yoga powers.To make oneself invisible or small.To become gigantic and reach to the farthest things.To change the course of nature.To place oneself anywhere in space or time.To summon the dead.To exalt senses and perceive inaccessible images, of events on other worlds,in one’s deepest inner mind, or in the minds of others.“

— Jim Morrison

„The traditional approach is from the periphery inwards, and through time, practice and renunciation, gradually to come upon that inner flower, that inner beauty and love — in fact to do everything to make oneself narrow, petty and shoddy; peel off little by little; take time; tomorrow will do, next life will do — and when at last one comes to the centre one finds there is nothing there, because one's mind has been made incapable, dull and insensitive.Having observed this process, one asks oneself, is there not a different approach altogether — that is, is it not possible to explode from the centre?“
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
