…addition is the exercise of fools…subtraction is the exercise of genius…think of the greatest of sculptors…think of their brilliant sculptures…know that each one of them started with a gorgeous piece of stone or rock or whatever material it is that they used to sculpt…then little by little, they removed (subtracted) from that material what wasn’t going to be a part of their beautiful sculpture until the most amazing of sculptures emerged from the subtractive exercise…proactive subtraction…

…you are the enlightenment that you seek – stop looking without so that you may develop the awareness of that within…everything else, including what you call ‘religion’, is but meaningless pandering and defending of political positions…
