Quote: cultivation of ambiguity is practice for ecstasy

[00goddess]

"When you start out by cultivating your tolerance for ambiguity and paradox, you are loosening the strings on your mind, giving yourself permission to feel without judging, to trust your sensations and emotions rather than your busy brain. You are practicing believing in what you feel at the moment, not reflecting the past or fretting about the future. You are practicing for ecstasy."

From Radical Ecstasy by Janet Hardy and Dossie Easton.

I love this quote, it articulates some of how I approach magick and religion. Loosen the strings. It's part of why I prefer ideas to beliefs.
