“The heart in the beast is not your heart only: it is a microcosmic sun, a cosmos of all possible experiences that no one can own.”
James Hillman
“Your time is divided into past, present, and future. Could this not be the same as subconscious, conscious, and superconscious?”

Conversations With God
…in essence the thought framework
Upon which the ego is based
Is separation.
The whole purpose for creating an ego in the first place
Was to attempt to gain some measure of experience
Of what it would be like to be separate.
And so long as you believe in the ego, which is to believe
That your thoughts about who you are are real,
Of that those thoughts have any consequence whatsoever—
As long as you believe either of those—
You are substantiating and supporting
The thought system of separation.
“I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.”

Frank Lloyd Wright
One of Waking Life’s more thought-provoking scenes, the final dialogue muses over gnostic dreams and our perceptions of time vs eternity.
