Re: Book Recommendations
Hi Auditor, I remember liking these books in the early 90s. They may have dated a little now but should point you to the right track.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: Book Recommendations
The Complete Works of St Teresa of Avila: Volume I (translated by E. Allison Peers)
So great a work of honesty, humility, love, and ambition for Heavenly Love such that it inspires religious feelings within me. I now understand those who are obsessed with Saints. Their words, expressions, tears and willingness to burn the world in the consuming fire of love for God is unimaginable, yet especially appealing to me. Though all is permitted, no one today has the boldness to proclaim Jesus "saying to me: "Behold this nail. It is a sign that from today onward thou shall be My bride." Modern Mother Teresa cannot hold a candlelight against Teresa of Avila. | |||||||||||

"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."
---Tears and Saints, E. M. Cioran

Notebook written by Cioran during a visit to Spain in 1966. As far as I can tell, this English translation is available as an ebook download only.

Re: Book Recommendations
- By the moon, I suddenly realized how much I was tied to this beautiful and damned universe. - The car, the airplane and the transistor: with the arrival of this trinity came the disappearance of the last vestiges of the earthly paradise. Every man who touches a motor shows that he is a reprobate. - I have in common with the Devil, a negative mood, eternal foundation of anxiety. Like him, I am bilious by divine decree . - Being as I am, longing all year for a vacation, when the actual vacation comes, it comes with more reality of the void, still done in, in that I live: Now a vacuum in the second degree, a void of which one is aware at all times, the official emptiness of my existence. - I’ve spent all day in bed. Having the old obsessions, the feeling that nothing is possible for me. Wherever I go, my evils accompany me. That is the capital gift of my existence. - The ravages of civilization are so obvious that I’m ashamed to continue pointing them out. - I cannot concentrate on anything, everything bores me, everything invites me to dispersion. In return, I am interested in many things but to no particular end, except perhaps boredom. I’m a freak dissipated, who has squandered and sprayed his obsessions. It could be a great curiosity, this incurable temperament. - Nothing worth researching but the investigation of oneself above all. What do we care about others! Our problems cannot be resolved by the problems of others, only we can solve those reserved for us. Moreover, there is nothing down here already decided that anybody can try to know other than where you are in relation to yourself. - If we could experience a secret voluptuousness of nothingness, whenever summoned, that no case for us is done, or complete, we would have the key to happiness. - Napoleon, who fought sixty battles, said that in the past, he had not learned anything not already known from the first, on the art of war. - In two days I will be in Paris, back to sorting, profiling and re-segregating my anguish... - I have always distrusted those who resemble me. Traits like ingenuity, force, sentimental crap [nonsense], kindness; I detest feverishness, duplicity, versatility, etc.,—defects, all of them!—I understand from within. | ||||||||||||
