People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life… I think that what we’re really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our inmost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.  Joseph Campbell

Let the light shine on.

Janwillem van de Wetering:  You are eight years old. It is Sunday evening.  You have been granted an extra hour before bed.  The family is playing Monopoly.  You have been told that you are big enough to join them.  You lose.  You are losing continuously.  Your stomach cramps with fear.  Nearly all your possessions are gone.  Your brothers are snatching all the houses from your streets.  The last street is being sold.  You have to give in.  You have lost.  And suddenly you know that it is only a game.  You jump up with joy and you knock the big lamp over.  It falls on the floor and drags the teapot with it.  The others are angry with you, but you laugh when you go upstairs.  You know you are nothing and know you have nothing.  And you know that not-to-be and not-to-have give an immeasurable freedom.
