Nourish your hopes, but do not overlook realities.

Everybody sooner or later has to drop the luggage and the baggage of illusions.

The world becomes an apparently infinite, yet possibly finite, card game. Image combinations, permutations, comprise the world game.

To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

The beast is the modern world that we live in! The material world. The physical world. The world of illusion that we think is real. We live for it; we're enslaved by it. And it will ultimately be our undoing.

I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there's some kind of change.
