Alejandro Jodorowsky said this quote

“ When I was a young person I went to the university and I learned a rational language, to think with the left side of the brain. But in the right side of the brain you have intuition and imagination. Words are not the truth; they indicate the way to go, but you need to go alone, in silence. Symbols have a language that kills the words. ”

For a true artist, difficulties become opportunities and clouds become solid present.

~ Alejandro Jodorowsky

During these past years, not being able to speak with you, I dedicated myself to reviewing, within myself, the sacred books I know by heart. I had the idea I should summarize them in a single volume. Then, in a single chapter, then in a single page, and finally in a single sentence. This sentence is the greatest thing I can teach you. It seems simple, but if you understand it, you will never have to study again. The Rabbi recited it. And life, from that moment on, changed for Alejandro. If God is not here, He is nowhere; this instant itself is perfection.

~ Alejandro Jodorowsky

This is true freedom: to be capable of leaving ourselves, crossing the boundaries of our little world to open up the universe.

~ Alejandro Jodorowsky

Although really society should not change, it should mutate. And, little by little, it is mutating...... Society is like the body of a chicken: the chicken's foot is hard and insensitive while the eye is very alive. And there are beings who embody the cells of the eyes and others who embody the cells of the feet, of the wings, or of the anus.
