1/2 "This is the highest summit of the initiation involved in what one could call the mysteries of the spiritual Eleusis. In the mystical experience no less than at Eleusis one does not learn something, but one lives another life."

2/2 "The self is no longer itself, it has become the absolute Other; it no longer knows who it is, nor where it is, . . . it is no longer situated anywhere, but it is carried so far that it is beyond all place, outside of self and of everything."

— Pierre Hadot
