"Exercise for 'reversing space,' which involves sitting very still, with all attention focussed in the centre of the chest, and slowly surrendering and realising that instead of looking you are being observed; instead of hearing, you are being heard; instead of touching you are being touched; instead of tasting you are food for God and are being tasted... it is most certainly necessary to seek, to ask the question; rather than pushing away the answer by chasing after it, one must ask and listen at the same time, in trust and good faith that the answer is contained in the question."
~ Reshad Feild, 'The Last Barrier'

Heima glaðr gumi, ok við gesti reifr, sviðr skal um sik vera. Minnigr ok málugr, ef hann vill margfróðr vera, opt skal góðs geta.
'If you want to be very wise, be happy at home, and cheerful with guests. Cultivate wisdom, a good memory and eloquence, and speak kind words often.'
-- Hávamál 103, tr. Jackson Crawford.
Velkominn, blíði vegfarandi, til Jǫtunn-Halla háva, þar sem sálir várar reika, en aldregi týnask.
Velkommen, blid vegfarende, til den høye Jotnerhallen, der hvor våre sjeler vandrer, men går aldri seg vill.
